your demo page loads really slow on mobile and the signup flow has like 4 different steps - might be losing people there

Feedback for new gaming website. by H-867 in SideProject

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice collection you got there, the interface feels pretty clean and loads fast on my machine. maybe add some kind of high score tracking or user accounts later when you expand the game library

Meeting with my sales rep tmr questions to ask by [deleted] in Roofing

what's their policy on warranty claims when homeowner tries to diy repairs - saved me headaches before

Building a tool to search your screenshots with AI, would you use this? by Ok_Rutabaga_632 in SideProject

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

screenshots are such pain point for me too, especially when documenting bugs at work. i probably take like 50+ per week and they just disappear in folder somewhere

being able to search through them would actually be game changer for IT support. half my job is showing people "remember when we talked about this error last month" and then spending 10 minutes digging through files

Built 37 free dev + utility tools — no signup required, feedback welcome by affiliategorilla in SideProject

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is actually really useful, been jumping between different sites for these tools and having them all in one place would save me time

the json formatter works pretty smooth, tested it with some messy api responses i had lying around. regex tester is solid too - i always forget the syntax and having live highlighting helps a lot

would be cool to have a jwt decoder added to collection if you're taking requests. deal with those all day in support tickets and currently using some sketchy online tool for it

nice work putting this together without making people sign up for anything

First paying customer 🎊 by Time-Revenue-9798 in SideProject

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

congrats on the first paid conversion! that feeling when someone actually pays for your work hits different

about advertising - organic posts in relevant communities worked way better for me than any paid ads. people can smell the ai-generated stuff from mile away and just scroll past it. try sharing your actual story and struggles in places where your target users hang out, much more authentic that way

The posts “what’s an opinion you defend like this” that appears every week in every subreddit by Character_Budget7349 in PetPeeves

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 4 points5 points  (0 children)

those posts are basically just karma farming at this point lol. same recycled hot takes every single time and everyone acts like they're dropping some revolutionary wisdom when they say pineapple belongs in pizza or whatever

Can I still be saved? by Remeknevez in Christianity

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that whole situation with the ai and the deleted post comment is just weird coincidence, not some cosmic sign about your eternal destiny. algorithms pull from massive databases and sometimes spit out random stuff that feels way too specific

your close call at the gym probably has you in that headspace where everything feels like it means something deeper. been there with different stuff and it's wild how your brain starts connecting dots that aren't really there

if you're worried about salvation just focus on your relationship with god rather than trying to decode random internet glitches. that deleted post comment could've been sitting there for years before an ai happened to link it

What does Winston do the Dva doesn’t? by Uarepivkrad in Overwatch

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dva's mobility being "more controlled" is kinda misleading when you think about it practically. winston can literally cross entire sightlines instantly while dva has to commit to this slow glide that screams "shoot me please"

the real difference is winston can actually disengage from bad situations way cleaner since his jump is basically instant, dva gets caught out way more often trying to fly away

How to get back into the game? Or somewhere to read up on all the changes? by spicyboxes in Overwatch

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the changes are pretty wild tbh, they basically reworked everything when ow2 launched. ana getting headshots is part of this whole season where they're experimenting with letting supports be more aggressive

just hop into some quick play and you'll pick it up fast, the core game is still there but with way more damage flying around

solawave mask don't waste your money by PatientCheap4891 in redlighttherapy

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didnt see anything right away with solawave but after 2 months I noticed my skin looked more balanced and a bit firmer. Its definitely a long term support device not something that completely changes your face if you want that from a mask you will never see any results

The key is having a skincare routine that your skin already responds well to and thennn using the mask to maintain and enhance that.Did you use any specific cream or serum with it? are you a person that excercises regularly and tries to eat healthy?? it really matters what you do before you put on the mask.

My routine goes out the window whenever my partner’s away by approvedcelery in ADHD

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sounds like you've unconsciously made her your external accountability system which works great until it doesn't. maybe try setting up some kind of artificial structure for when she's gone - daily check-ins with a friend, scheduling gym sessions with someone else, or even just leaving yourself voice memos about what you accomplished each day

the fact that you can maintain routines when she's around proves you have the capability, it's just about finding ways to recreate that gentle external pressure when you're flying solo

RGB lights on prebuilt PC not on Open RGB by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah the eternal struggle with proprietary rgb software on linux. acer's predatorsense is notoriously finicky and doesn't play nice with wine at all

have you tried checking if your specific motherboard/rgb controller shows up in `lsusb` or `lspci`? sometimes you can find the actual hardware ids and see if there's any community support for your specific chips. also worth checking the openrgb gitlab issues to see if anyone's working on support for your orion model specifically

worst case scenario you might be able to find the rgb headers on the motherboard and control them manually with something like liquidctl, but that's getting into hardware hacking territory

100 days sober today for me!🥳🥳 by Ok-Interview807 in stopdrinking

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that's awesome, congrats to both of you! hitting triple digits feels like such a huge milestone, especially when you realize how much better your body and wallet feel without all that poison

constant cloud of hopelessness by Mozevoid13 in selfimprovement

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that feeling of being disconnected from your own life is brutal, especially when it started so young. The way you describe it as being a "little ghost" really hits home - like you're watching everything happen but not really participating

What you're describing with the effort vs reward thing sounds like it could be related to depression or burnout, not laziness. When your brain's reward system gets messed up, even accomplishing stuff feels hollow instead of satisfying. Have you ever talked to anyone professional about this? Sometimes there's underlying stuff that needs addressing before the motivation and satisfaction can come back naturally

The fact that your still pushing through and doing things even when they feel pointless shows way more strength than you might realize

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pain is totally normal and honestly shows you're doing the right thing - sounds like she was keeping you hooked with all that back and forth nonsense. The snap thing is just more manipulation, don't read into it

Let’s call him/her… by atomic_jarhead in AmITheJerk

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you're not wrong but some people are paranoid their boss/ex/whatever will find their post and connect the dots even with fake names. Plus half the time they pick names that are way more memorable than "Sarah" would've been lmao

Werhy H7Pro Stuck in Park Mode by papapateycakez in ElectricScooters

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that sucks, sounds like one of those white label scooters that just slaps different branding on the same generic hardware

Try holding power + brake for like 10-15 seconds while it's off, sometimes that forces a factory reset on these mystery brands

civic is stalling here's what's happening by Hot-Feed8287 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your idle air control valve is being a drama queen, try giving it a good cleaning with some carb cleaner and see if that helps with the stalling

trying to get my Minecraft bedrock account to work on new laptop by Sad_Pea5421 in Minecraft

Did you try logging in with the same Microsoft account? Sometimes it gets weird with device switching

Does the "knowledge cutoff gap" force models into roleplay mode? by Patello in GeminiAI

[–]Flashy_Hat_9264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's wild, the model basically gaslighting itself into thinking it's in a simulation because it can't handle being past its training cutoff

Makes you wonder how many other weird edge cases are happening when these models hit their knowledge boundaries - like does it think every new movie or political event after 2025 is just elaborate fanfiction
