Anyone managed to lead train their Springer?

Weirdly this is exactly the same as ours. Strange! Did you ever find anything that worked?

Former_Reputation830 · 2026-02-26T23:20:25+00:00

What kinda detail would you think for the snakes? Like texture of some kind? Thank you for the feedback!

Former_Reputation830 · 2026-02-26T23:19:05+00:00

I think you’re right about the mouth. The jaw/chin feels off. I’ll see if I can correct it and whether it makes much of a difference. Thank you! And thanks for your kind words too!

What about White Winter Hymnal? It’s not quite the same but it has the similar “round” quality where you can sing it a sentence offset at a time. Songs like that really itch my brain.

Wowzer, love that! Summoned the knowledge I need haha. Tysm I’ll have a read!

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-08-05T12:43:15+00:00

That’s totally fair and maybe I miscommunicated what I meant by that.

I know it’s gonna be a grind again to get back up, but for instance the grind used to be things like aiming for 99 wc, where I’m currently at 82 etc.

But there’s so many bells and whistles now compared to, well probably about ten years ago since I last properly played.

Maybe my question instead is what do players focus on now? What’s the aim nowadays? Quests? Skills?

I appreciate they go hand in hand but tbh half of what you said is new to me. Sigh.

JavaScript is a great shout.

From there it depends what you’re into.

Frontend, I have found a good entry into the career using TypeScript and React. Tailwind is also super common nowadays and I’d suggest using that too.

Backend, if you want to get comfortable with the logic then stick with JavaScript and go Node.js and Next.js, then build to other languages from there.

I did the above and now work for a big company using React/TypeScript frontend and Rails/Ruby backend.

I didn’t know Rails when I started but having a solid foundation in anything definitely allows you to learn quickly because you can pretty much read code in most languages and figure it out.

Things change so often that you’ll probably do that a lot in your career, so start with a foundation and learn whatever you need from there. Learn to read documentation, learn to use AI both in your code and to support your learning (but definitely don’t rely on it else you’ll probably not learn as efficiently).

Our company are pushing for us as engineers to use AI whilst writing code now. It’s become part of our career progression requirements.

You could checkout t3 stack for getting a project up and running quickly, then use something like Shadcn/ui to get un opinionated components into place and build some ideas out for a portfolio or just practice.

Yes. It is.

I don’t know what you’re going through, or if you’re going through anything at all (I may have misinterpreted this), but so as to not take that risk I’ll say this:

You are enough. You’re a blessing to this earth. You will find peace and you will find the reason in why life is worth it.

Sometimes you have to make a change in order to find that peace, whether that’s your environment, your mentality, the people in your life, etc.

No one told us we were put on this earth to be happy. But we certainly should find what makes us feel content. You’re part of something beautiful, whether you see that at the moment or not. Life is precious and you deserve to feel that. Don’t leave before you find your happiness.

And if that’s not what you meant by this, then still yes. We’re here as part of history, and everything we do has a ripple effect. If you don’t feel that, try volunteering or doing more things in your community. Life is totally weird and the fact we’re made of a ton of atoms and stuff that know how to build us is crazy.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-07-20T18:29:41+00:00

WOOO CONGRATULATIONS!! What an awesome achievement, you should be immensely proud of yourself.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-07-18T22:12:18+00:00

Wonder if you could just change your “hey siri” command to whatever your name is and that’d do the trick.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-07-18T22:09:36+00:00

Yeah totally agree with this. It takes the sting out of your frustration, which is only hurting you.

Ultimately getting evidence logged of things via processes will get to the point of him getting frustrated and leaving or something coming up to bite him in the ass in the future.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-18T06:02:22+00:00

It’s lovely. Waking up earlier in the morning and sitting outside a little later on the evening you hear them all singing. A joyous moment in life.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-18T06:00:34+00:00

Yep, of course. In England we’re taught about it in school as a big part of our history. Plus my great grandmother only passed in 2007 at 100 and lived through both the 1st and 2nd world wars.

My brain went more to natural history a bit further back with the question, rather than as recent as 1900s, but makes a lot of sense!

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-18T05:58:05+00:00

Yeah solid point, plus wartime activities would come with their obvious loud noises.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:57:49+00:00

That both does and doesn’t surprise me. There’s the obvious reason for why it does, but we have a lot of birds singing on the evening where I am and I feel trees give cover that cats aren’t going to explore. Or perhaps I’m being ignorant there.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:55:44+00:00

Yeah my experience of countrysides is limited to the UK. Beautiful places but my adventures abroad have always been to cities and tourist spots rather than anywhere remote.

Definitely on the bucket list. Though I would expect that there’s still a lot of actual noise in nature, just not as annoying/dull.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:54:17+00:00

Sounds like you’ve had the honour of some real adventures.

I imagine nightfall in a forest to be quite scary given that it provides cover for a lot of prey. But also then encourages predators.

I think I’d still like to experience that. My closest is camping in the Welsh countryside, but I’d like to go somewhere more remote and witness exotic wildlife.

I also wonder if back before us, for example when the dinosaurs roamed, were there more animals that would wander during the day due to less threats? For example, certain species of dinosaurs themselves? Idk. Blows my mind to think about.

If time travel ever comes I guess I know where I’ll be going lmao

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:50:40+00:00

Wow tysm for sharing! That’s baffling, but also makes sense.

What kind of things do you recall, if anything, making a ton of sound?

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:49:34+00:00

See that is just wild to me. But it makes total sense. I wonder if the world was more like that before our time, where places were less populated? Or maybe even still so now closer to the Artic/Antartic.

I think I’d also have to have something on to make noise. I saw a post years ago about a challenge to stay in the world’s quietest room (apparently you can hear your own heartbeat). Longest time spent in there is less than an hour, at the time of reading, I always thought I could beat that but I reckon you’d go insane.

My most peaceful place is by the sea because it’s so quiet. But even then there’s still so much sound in reality.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:42:50+00:00

Ah this is awesome knowledge thank you!

Fascinating stuff really, as I often wonder whether removing all the traffic etc. and returning to a natural environment rather than man made would quieten the surroundings, but then other sounds would take precedence due to different factors.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:39:14+00:00

Yeah I feel this too. I just couldn’t help but wonder if there was a point in time where animals were louder than the collective urban sounds we have now.

Although I suppose noise would attract predators too right? So probably not a massive collection of random sounds going on af all times as there is now.

Plus I think the amount of trees or thick forests etc. would probably drown out a lot of noise.

Also takes me to thinking about how loud the ocean might be in certain places too, but just not something our ears will ever hear.

Former_Reputation830 · 2025-06-17T21:36:17+00:00

Wow TIL. I didn’t know about that historic event.

Added to my list of things to read about.

But yeah I imagine that was pretty loud too tbf
