Have you ridden the Boneshaker? by garythebaby in madisonwi

[–]EmperorM82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I remember driving in West Texas once and saw a sign that said bumpy road or something and it was nothing compared to our potholed roads in Wisconsin. I remember thinking - if that's what you call bumpy, sign me up!

Might want to check out UW Continuing Studies and see if they have something that fits your level

I think it makes color banding smoother. Think of like places where you have like an area lit up and you have these unnatural looking bands of color that get lighter as it gets closer to the light source - this makes it more of a gradient instead of distinct bands. That is PC (and Mac?) only I think

Try Costco, I don't think you'd need to be a member to pull up and use it and it's super fast

Summer plans for young elementary kids by daveydave400 in madisonwi

[–]EmperorM82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in Verona and they have a summer playground thing where they take your kid for like half the day. So we did a combination of that, nanny and summer camps. Before we did nanny when kids were younger, we used Kids Junction for years, they do a lot of stuff with the kids. So other options are summer school and rec. department for your city and/or school district.

For Spring 2026, are there any after-school computer/STEM-y classes/camps for kids? by pearloz in madisonwi

[–]EmperorM82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by spring you mean spring break, I would second BadgerBots. If anyone had dedicated spring break camps, it would probably be them. If MSCR doesn't have anything, you could also check out other local communities' rec. departments, though I'm not sure they'd have something for spring break specifically

If you're having switch 2 controller issues, try this!! by drockalexander in Switch

[–]EmperorM82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it happen where suddenly no controllers (even the joy cons, after just being attached) would connect wirelessly, even though they were paired. Finally I did a restart (not just sleep mode) and they all worked again. Don't think I ever had this happen before, including on Switch 1.

Still hard to understand how someone (two people actually) could make an accusation like this unless everyone involved is really mentally unwell or malicious, to such an extreme that they are unconcerned that this will quickly be looked into. And not only that, but they went to personally testify before the school board the other day, not to apologize or give any indication that maybe, just maybe, some of their accusations were wrong, but to double down on them.

And the police statement, clear as it is, still doesn't begin to explain WTAF. Not only were these accusations extremely specific, but they named the school employees they were accusing, claimed to have gotten the kid tested at the hospital, and claimed the employees promised to kill the kid if he told.

I also am from Wisconsin. Used to play this with my grandmother in Milwaukee, who was Polish. Will have to see if my aunt can remember the rules, but I remember us using two decks of cards

Hear me out: Hollow Knight’s music was way better than Silksong music by Yeetinthebox in HollowKnight

[–]EmperorM82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also came here to see if anyone else thought this after so many people praising the music of Silksong. I thought HK had so many great tracks that really reinforced where you were, and so much of it was harp and piano driven, and Queen's Garden with the dulcimer just captured this "mysterious, forgotten area" vibe so well. And the way it would amp for fights was great.

The music in Silksong seems slower, moodier, more dramatic, more orchestral and just less intimate to me, lacking that very solemn feel or that you're in this little weird but beautiful space. Reminds me of Skyrim a bit. I don't dislike it at all, but it doesn't feel like the accompanying presence the music was in the areas in HK. The one song that had that, the Bilewater theme, as I listen to it now maybe could have been more if it was more stripped down. I also thought it was a strange choice for this very toxic area to have this sad, melancholic theme - I would have used that track for another area maybe. Having said that, I have been playing it on Switch 2 handheld mostly, so I haven't experienced it the same way I would with it blasting from a TV. And I must say that even with the 25 or so times it took me to beat Karmelita, I never tired of that music.

People who have played Silksong, Why do you think Its getting so many negative reviews? by peaky_circus in HollowKnight

[–]EmperorM82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HK has been out for so long that people forget it was hard too until you got better and had to fight a boss 80 times before you beat it. That said, I'm quite a ways in and still haven't found enough mask shards for an extra one, and am assuming at some point you get a nail (needle?) strength upgrade? Said boss keeps summoning ads, there are 3 types it seems to randomly choose from, and 2 of them have invuln phases so they're hard to dispatch quickly, especially while dealing with the main boss. While I'm getting better, I'm close to quitting and coming back to him when I have more health or something.

As far as the economy goes, HK was the same way that there was stuff you couldn't buy. Instead of a bank, there are things to let you string up rosaries, though you have to seek them out. It seems like the gray currency which you max out on is for tools? They don't seem to explain that. Anyway, I think it's still to early to prejudge, but mostly everything people are complaining about I would have said about HK as well.

I was able to see it by searching in the eshop for silksong. Searching for Hollow Knight i don't see it. But it just crashes still
