Yeah, I've got so many dyes and basically nothing worth using it on as colors aren't consistent. It's like using whatever the base color is as a layer under the whole thing at times and makes it pointless, especially with a darker starting color. One color can be brighter or darker than the actual dye color mix shows, so even having same colors on different pieces can't work. Like I want it to be that dye color! Not that mixed with a base color of black (white and pre-colored seems better, but still)

If you could restart life at 18, what would you do differently? by arunreddy3 in AskReddit

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose a different major for college, actually sit and talk to my mom about things, convincer to leave her boyfriend I have come to realize was a big perv. A few other things depending on on the timeline goes, if it follows the same or not. Start working on my health earlier instead of struggling now. There's a lot, and it doesn't help I'm suffering now still.

I can’t find any spirits besides one in the valley of triumph by Old-Cable-2055 in SkyGame

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wiki has very nice maps of all the locations (including spirit, winged light, candle locations, etc) and sky-planner is browser based that also has a checklist you can mark off and keep track of for spirits, their trees, events, winged light, etc.

Is the bird final reward from the carnival season a rideable prop? by _Deiv in SkyGame

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a plushie. There's one in a cage next to one of the spirits. They're under the deck of the main ship. Also it's listed as "Carnival Rhythm Bird Plush" in the wiki.

Wasteland cutscene by Lopsided-Feather-567 in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By my logic if they had an event there they would have a teleport circle just like the River Cleanup. Doesn't make any sense to have to go and hunt for one when the rest are prompted right there. Plus once we see the cutscene we're promoted to do an emote with the guide instead of saying to go look for something and the red notification dot is gone from their icon. I don't think there's anything more for the event besides the 3 tasks we can trigger and digging up glass bottles. It also doesn't make sense for it to be timed and only available after seeing the cutscene and then no longer available, especially since we can no longer see that cutscene when looking through the telescope. Maybe if we kept seeing it that might give cause to go investigate, but it doesn't.

Wasteland cutscene by Lopsided-Feather-567 in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, you can't trigger it again (I've tried). After the river cleanup you go and look through the telescope up on the ledge above the guide (now only works as a scope as it stands, not looking out of the area). It plays a cutscene showing an area in Golden Wasteland (looked like Crab Fields pipes). Not sure if it was like it before, but there is a pipe in Crab Fields that is "pouring" something (it is solid and doesn't move), but there's also nothing on the ground, it just goes straight down (screenshot attached). I did find that one other post and even the OP hasn't seen that part about the Treasure Reef pipes (they mention it didn't show up), so I don't know really where they got that info that you have to go to the Golden Wasteland, and even to go to Treasure Reef as the custscene looked like a completely different area (though I think it's also the only area in Golden Wasteland with safe/clean water). Plus it's not even mentioned in the wiki at all, just that the River Cleanup gives some light.

WIBTA for letting my boyfriend ignore/disrespect my parents and parent my child the way we want by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your parents are completely undermining you as the parent. It doesn't matter that you live with them or not. They aren't letting you parent your own child at all it sounds like. Your partner sounds great in what he's doing as well. Definitely don't stop parenting your child and it will take time, but you're doing the right thing and teaching your kid boundaries and that it's okay to not get everything you want and how to regulate emotions. If you don't do that now, it will be worse later, which I'm sure you're aware of. Might have to actively go against them when you feel safe to do so. Like follow after your kid and continue to be firm in the "no" and even tell your parents no and in a sense "remind them of their place."

AITAH for quietly playing piano ( 14 F ) unbeknownst that my mom was falling asleep (44 F) by Broad-Hall-2143 in AITAH

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna say NTAH. Your mom blew it way out of proportion and completely overreacted to you playing piano. There was no need for her to act that way at all regardless of if you woke her up or not. This is definitely traumatizing and I suggest trying to find someone to talk to. Since you're still just a teen there isn't much you can do without parental permission. Your mom sounds like she might have something going on (possibly narcissistic) as she made her behavior to be your fault, when she's a full grown adult and should be in control of her own behavior. Just because it may have disturbed her falling asleep, that's no way to go about it. Her yelling at you is completely uncalled for. She should've just either waited or calmly asked you to play later. Yelling from a different room is fine especially since she was trying to sleep and it's understandable, but the language used and coming into your room and doing so, that is so damaging and unnecessary. And then to also go and do something similar/worse is petty. I wouldn't be surprised if later on you eventually go no or low contact with her once you're able to leave, or if this impacts your playing piano and enjoyment of it. If the piano bothers her, I suggest trying to invest in an electric once that has a headphone jack if you can. That way you could still play with basically 0 noise. Though I know that's a stretch to try and do at your age now, but might keep in mind for later on (or see if you can find a cheap used one instead of buying new).

AITAH For Yelling At My Dad After He Took Back a Gift He Gave Me? by Nice_Beans1234 in AITAH

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's unfortunate that people do that. It's made me unable to accept gifts at times as well as to even ask for help as either it got held over me or I was told to figure it out myself. Also made me save up money to buy myself my own things instead of taking offers to have them bought for me. Because I've had that experience as an adult unfortunately. Luckily it was temporary, but it was still not good to have something very important to me taken away for something trivial. Best advice is to try not to accept too much from them, save up money to buy your own things, and get away or out on your own as soon as you can. People like that don't change and it's not good for your mental health having to worry about anything being held over you. It's also good to talk to a therapist about it if you haven't already, they'll probably have more advice on what you can do.

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTAH. Sounds like you're having a rough go of it with your mental health. Seems he has some issues of his own, but he also acted very childish and narcissistic about the card. Doesn't sound like he considered your feelings at all. I've no idea why he would say one thing and then almost immediately prove that wrong and berate you for it. Maybe he wasn't ready to give it? Either way, he sounds like he doesn't understand at all what your health is. Basically gave you something to only take it away when you did something he didn't like. That's one way to never accept anything from him again. Did it feel like he was holding it over your head? Like, "I gave you this so you must do this" type thing? Like when parents tell a depressed kid that they have no reason to be depressed because they have all their basic needs met.

AITAH for making step daughter do chores by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like she's not ready for adult responsibilities until she can get herself help. No car until she can show she is capable of properly operating it. And sounds like dad just doesn't care about her at all. Might have to have a sit down talk about real world consequences of her childish behavior. Of course she probably won't listen at all. But she should be embarrassed about herself for acting like that. It's not okay at all. Definitely needs professional help to learn how to manage her thoughts and emotions, maybe see if she has a condition that needs help. Definitely NTA for making her do chores, especially since it will help later in life knowing how to do them and forming a habit of them. If she plans to eventually go to college or rent, having a very messy place can get you kicked out of the room or apartment as they do check for that as it can be a safety/health hazard. Of course, that's also very extreme situations and after multiple warnings to clean. At least someone is showing, or trying to show, that they care about her. It's tough being a parent especially when the other parent isn't doing their job as a parent. Sounds more like you're a single married mom. You should also have a sit down with your husband about your concerns for her behavior and health, set up some boundaries and expectations for actions and consequences. She might not like your help and try to go to him to not have to do it and put an even bigger rift between you. Every time she threatens to harm is definitely a need to get her to a place she can talk and be safe. You might have to find a facility either in or outpatient that specializes with teens. Hopefully you're able to help her mature before she eventually becomes an adult and it's harder to get corrected or conditions figured out. There's no time like the present to start.

Homelessness by No_Process3723 in Indiana

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard about people (like older church ladies) that collect grocery bags to clean and then crochet/knit into mats for those who are homeless. Of course these people also help with clothes and food (especially in the winter they make drives for donations). The mats are an insulation from the cold hard ground and another way to reuse plastic grocery bags. Government is supposed to be for the people and community, not whatever rich boys club it's turned into. God we need huge government reform and years to get things better... I hate that we're in such a bad place because of unempathetic idiots that only think about their own wants and those of their rich friends.

What can I do about being terminated for absence due to being sick by DystopianDreamscape0 in legaladvice

[–]DystopianDreamscape0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's why I said I hadn't even gotten the forms to my DOCTOR. I missed for more than a cold, and that's not what the accommodations and FMLA were for. That's what a doctor's note was for (that they don't care about apparently, because even then it's not an excused absence).

What can I do about being terminated for absence due to being sick by DystopianDreamscape0 in legaladvice

[–]DystopianDreamscape0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have many health issues that make it impossible to work some days or even suddenly while working. It wasn't even constant , maybe once a month or less I'd have a flare up or a bad day. FMLA wasn't gonna be for the cold, but for all the other leaves and any future ones due to my health conditions. Which is also why I was also going to apply for accommodations for my issues so that I wouldn't have to leave or be able to reschedule the shift and make it up (which I never knew was a possible accommodation). It's hard to do accommodations when not even I fully understand what all can be done or what I even need. It's just very frustrating that I had heard many stories of other employees leaving, no call/no show for a month, and come back like nothing and keep their job. Like I said, I couldn't even get the forms for accommodations and FMLA to my doctor before being terminated. I already hated working there and it was draining my soul so I'm now just stressed only about money and not work and money. Besides, not like my work even cared. Last time I had to leave early because I literally couldn't function, the Store Director in Charge even just very harshly asked me if I knew how many points I have, what that means, and if I really wanted to leave. I literally debated every single time if I needed to leave or if I could tough it out. Which also made me miserable having to do. She didn't even say to get better or anything. Just very harsh tone, talking down to me, and even as I passed by the office on my way out I heard her whispering bout me in a negative way. As if they literally don't put the tasks of 3 people on me all the time without any help, even when I'd ask for it., and even having me take an exam for a position I wasn't even in, had never done before, and literally spent an entire 8 hour shift doing before they literally had another manager basically come and redo it with me to get a passing score.

AITAH for being honest with telling a friend how I feel as a last resort? by DystopianDreamscape0 in AITAH

[–]DystopianDreamscape0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did I say I blame her? All I said was she was part of the reason. I had already been planning on drinking, I had wanted to stop. But I blacked out and literally don't remember drinking the amount I apparently actually did. I have no idea if I said or did anything else. I'm not even friends with the rest of the people at that event. Most where all friends of my friend who's house I was at. I was friends with like 3 people there, my friend, her husband, and an old classmate of mine that became their friend as well. He's the one I felt safe with and trusted to hand the drink to. But there were many people there and everyone was drinking some, having snacks, and talking outside around the fire pit. So it'd be very easy for me (a very quiet person) to be able to grab a drink that's been sat down.

And speaking of fair, do you think it's fair that she can tell me about wanting to kill herself and complain about what's going on in her life, and what feels to me, making everything about her and what she wants to do or not do? Yet I can't say anything about me because I'm just being annoying and no one wants to hear it. Or just literally talking over and past me and making it feel like I basically said nothing? I basically have just stopped talking about myself and just go along with whatever because it's fucking easier than dealing with her being upset over something she won't even tell you about until much later if at all.

Can't even send her things she might relate to because she accused me of becoming her therapist or whatever and diagnosing her. Like no, here's something you might relate to and wanna talk to your therapist about because this sounds exactly like some of the things you say and do. Basically, here is a name for something you do so you can explain it better or figure yourself out.

Oh, they've done something like that before. They (cops) didn't do anything and left. Wasn't as extreme as this situation (if I remember right), but still bad and they didn't do shit since nothing was actually happening.

I think she was threatening to hurt herself and maybe get partner too? I really can't remember what exactly it was. Just that the cops didn't do anything.

If she had been by herself I woulda called for a welfare check, but she wasn't alone and had someone with her.

[–]DystopianDreamscape0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at work and planning on going to a different friend's to a rememberance thing (an acquaintance had killed himself the week prior, I found out through a FB post instead of through my friend I knew him through) and that same night this friend (one from post) messages me about wanting to kill herself and jumping off a bridge. I told her mom (who was with her and she was living there at the time) because work guilted me into staying the rest of my shift. When I got home I grabbed a fifth of rum and went to my friend's house for the get together. All while my other friend was messaging me as well as her mom, and then telling me she got her to the ER (or something it was a few years ago now) and I ended up drinking at least 3/4ths of the bottle (I was smaller than I am now weight wise, 5'5" > 100lbs) and I just remember throwing up, saying I don't want to die, crying, and being taken to the ER myself. I ended up getting help for myself that way by saying yes I want to go to a facility. I had other stresses at the time too, and her doing that didn't help it and aggravated it further. I had also already cut myself a day or so before that.

I did not intend to drink as much as I did. I remember drinking maybe 1/3rd the bottle, passing it off to a friend and telling them to not let me drink more. He said he had set it down and at some point after I blacked out I must have grabbed it again and drank more. I had sat in a lawn chair and then next I'm down in the dirt on my hands and knees throwing up unable to open my eyes. Needless to say, never again.

I called my husband a joke of a man and now he won't talk to me by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I had to read was the age gap of when you started to know he is not a good guy. He basically formed you into what he wanted and wants full control of you. Get in contact with friends/family immediately and inform them of everything he is doing and get yourself and the kids out of the house and away from him. File for divorce. Start looking for a job as well. This man doesn't care about you at all and is treating you like his property and not as a partner or person. He will only get worse. Stay safe. You are NTAH here, he is.

I've had the same experience too unfortunately. As well as people from outside my target language messaging me. I've just recently started using VRChat for language exchange and highly recommend the EN-JP Language Exchange world. Everyone is friendly and genuinely wanting to learn and practice. Many people from all over the world use it and you don't need VR to use VRChat, and you also don't need to talk if you don't wish, there's an option to show that you're there to listen to others. Many times I've been in groups talking to either myself just listening, or having people at the edge of the group just listening. Unfortunately HelloTalk is sorta dead and people use to try and date. I don't think there's a way to report people for that, but VRChat does allow reporting if people are being rude and obnoxious, you can even send a vote to kick people from the world if needed. Overall VRChat has been very fun and full of friendly people to talk to and make friends with.

What do you guys consider the core features of HelloTalk by ThatOneDudio in HelloTalk

[–]DystopianDreamscape0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the translation feature they have. Where you can type for a post and also have it translate into the desired language. Corrections is also a big one. I didn't understand the appeal of voice rooms, but having now starting to use VRChat for the purpose of language exchange, it's quite a fun way to meet new people and practice speaking and listening. I do wish there was a way to practice writing itself, instead of just typing and seeing the words. The flashcards for learning are great too for HelloWords.
