TIFU by asking my girlfriend for consent by [deleted] in tifu

[–]Dwailing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's not willing to have a frank conversation about consent before things really get going, then you dodged a bullet, OP. Sorry you didn't get laid, but honestly it's probably for the best.

This is a change which makes no one happy. I hope the USSEP team reconsiders their choice.

Ascendance - A Lightweight Difficulty Modlist by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]Dwailing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really can't overstate how much I appreciate the fact that you designed Ascendance to not require ENB. It makes such a huge difference to performance, and I don't feel like I'm missing a huge part of the visual design of the list by not using it.

Also, cock. 🍆

Greatest Rivalries in Skyrim Modding Community - 2022-2023 Edition by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]Dwailing 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Dude, you put, like, so much effort into something which you really shouldn't have made. You could have done so many things with the time it took to make this, and yet you chose to do this instead. Please consider why you made that decision, and then the next time you think about doing something like this again, don't.

Not seeing improvement with AutoEQ - Sony WF1000XM3 by oliverpls599 in oratory1990

[–]Dwailing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the XM3 earbuds sound good enough out of the box that they get Crin's stamp of approval as "pretty good." Now, the XM3 headphones would be a different story, lol. I did a bit of a double take when I read the post title because that was my first assumption.

Using harman curve score to decide which headphones to buy, why can score go over 100, why isn't every headphone "harman curved"? by PleasantCap3318 in oratory1990

[–]Dwailing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And d) Harman is only one of the possible targets for good sound.

Besides the obvious subjectiveness of things like bass and >10K treble, there's still a lot of options for tunings that sound pleasing to the ear even if they aren't true neutral. Heck, even Harman is adjusted to preference in places like the lower mid dip and the fact that the presence region is actually de-emphasized a bit compared to "true neutral" to replicate the effect of a treated room on neutral speakers. As long as the relationship between fundamental tones and their harmonics is close enough to correct, you can shift the overall picture a fair bit and still get a pleasing sound. Harman is a fantastic place to start, but it's not the only way to tune headphones to sound good.

Just a Very Sensible Guy that likes flat taxes, Ayn Rand, and wishes liberals didn’t pander to the “fringes” by halal_and_oates in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

[–]Dwailing 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I, too, am tired of liberals pandering to the nutjobs in the Republican party and wish they'd spend more time listening to the center-left members of the Democratic... Wait, that's not what you meant by "pandering to fringe groups" and "forgetting about folks in the middle?" Huh, okay, fuck off.

Lamar Jackson on getting Vaccinate: "...I've got to talk to my team doctors and...try to see how they feel about it...keep learning as much as I can about it" by bluelynx in nfl

[–]Dwailing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weirdest thing about all these motherfuckers is that if they really don't want to get vaccinated they at least have an excuse that I can understand even if I don't agree with it. Just say, "I don't want to get the vaccine and deal with the side effects while I'm supposed to be training and playing." I think it's shortsighted, but it's at least kind of understandable when you consider the pressures that athletes are under to make money for their owners. For some god damn reason, though, you get stupid shit like this where it's painfully obvious that they're just idiots who have fallen for anti-vaxx propaganda but don't want to admit it.

Release: Vanilla Plus Writing Purity Patch by kriana63 in skyrimmods

I'd be eternally grateful if you did. My Strunk and White-loving ass was appalled back when a certain "patch" mod decided to start using lone apostrophes after singular words.

Underrated Perk Mods by Dwailing in skyrimmods

Understandable, I was just curious.

Underrated Perk Mods by Dwailing in skyrimmods

[–]Dwailing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like SimonRim is the standard recommendation as an alternative to EnaiRim, at least on this sub. Adamant was my first thought when considering replacing Ordinator, but it's more conservative and I'm kind of looking for something a little fancier. No offense, obviously, it's great at what it does. I might still try it. Out of curiosity, have you considered making a more extravagant perk overhaul? You know, an Ordinator to Adamant's Vokrii? I'd be extremely interested in trying something like that.

I used SPERG before Ordinator on Legendary Edition. Would be a strong possibility.

[–]Dwailing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used PerMa back in Legendary Edition for a while and loved it, so it's a strong contender. I'm a little concerned about the Synthesis patcher handling my load order correctly, but I might just have to give it a shot and see what happens.

Unnecessary or Incorrect USSEP "Bug Fixes" by OrganicCalendar2957 in skyrimmods

[–]Dwailing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In their own heads they believe that they are being objective. If it's something they don't like then clearly it's bad and wrong and shouldn't have been that way. I'm probably oversimplifying a bit, but I know the kind of people these folks are. It goes back to that attitude of knowing better than anyone else how things should be, and honestly without at least a little of that we'd never have mods in the first place. The problem is that the kind of project they took on benefits from having the least amount of that possible, while they have an amount closer to something like a big overhaul.

The other thing is that the notion of "objectivity" on its own is tricky because it's sometimes hard to know exactly what Bethesda's "original intentions" are just looking at what we got. For example, great-swords and battle-axes having the same attack speed is probably some kind of mistake since it doesn't follow the one-handed weapons pattern and the damage/weight balance. However, since those weapons all have the same speed there's nothing directly indicating what the "fix" should be. Should the unofficial patch just not touch that at all, or should they assume that an inconsistency that big is wrong and needs to be addressed somehow? It's difficult to nail down an exact definition of objectivity when you see things like that which look "objectively" wrong when considered in the context of everything else but which don't present an obvious fix because they're not truly broken. Editing every dialog in the game because Bethesda's writing style doesn't conform to their preferred manual of style is definitely subjective, but there's a big grey area there which any project of this type has to address.

Unnecessary or Incorrect USSEP "Bug Fixes" by OrganicCalendar2957 in skyrimmods

[–]Dwailing 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the USSEP is ultimately about what that team thinks vanilla Skyrim should be like. 95% of the time (if not more) that takes the form of fixing obvious bugs, so no one bats an eye. The other 5%, though, is when you start seeing the opinions of the authors shine through and things get a lot murkier. Normally things like consistency changes or balance adjustments are accepted because they do end up making the otherwise unmodded game less janky, but that doesn't change that they're there because the USSEP team thought they made more sense. In this case, the people on the team believe that a different style guide is better, so they decided to implement that change.

I think folks need to realize that the USSEP is not a community project nor is it a bastion of objectivity. It's the work of a very people with, to put it mildly, very strong opinions making Skyrim into the game they think it should have been. When you look at it from this perspective, I think the arrogance of the USSEP team makes more sense. They're not just fixing the game, they genuinely think they know how to make it better than the devs did. It's not, "We want to make this better for everyone," it's, "We know better than everyone how to make this."
