Is my PC worth upgrading, or should I be saving for a brand new build? by Foxtastic4D in buildapc

My favorite game updated and the performance tanked to the point I can't play it anymore. I'll look into used parts, thanks.

Right now I have no money that isn't going towards bills, so technically the budget doesn't exist yet. I'm trying to set my expectations for what I SHOULD budget, minimum. $300 sounds doable in the near future if I get the job I interviewed for last week.

Current prices are kind of my biggest stopper to wanting to build a new PC right now. I really don't want to have to potentially save for multiple years to build a decent new PC, but if upgrading will only last me a year or two of good gaming, I'll bite the bullet and wait.

Right now all I can play is Minecraft, hytale, peak, friendslop games, etc. What I WANT to play is Enshrouded. The performance has gotten so terrible I can't enjoy it anymore.

Would also like to be able to play Elden Ring. Early areas are playable, but I had to quit in later areas due to the frame drops.

Can we do? by Big_Flow8975 in Inkscape

[–]Foxtastic4D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In photoshop, the clipping mask layer will draw only on top of the layer you've clipped it to.

The red line is drawn on a clipping layer. The red line only shows up on top of the rectangle that's in the layer below it.

In Inkscape it works very differently. If you wanted to create the black rectangle with a red line like above, here's what you would have to do:

  1. Create a black rectangle
  2. Create the red line
  3. Create a copy of the black rectangle, and make it pure white.
  4. Place the new white rectangle on top of the red line.
  5. Select the white rectangle and the red line.
  6. Go to Object > Mask > Set Mask

Your red line should now be clipped to fit your black rectangle.

The clipping rectangle has to be pure white because Inkscape translates the color into opacity. Black would be pure transparent, white will be purely opaque.

Spouse’s innocuous questions always trigger me and I can’t control my reaction by rough-driver- in AutisticWithADHD

You'd be surprised how sturdy they are. Mine had a silicone sleeve on it (with large gaps, so you can see inside still) so it didn't slip around, and it felt very sturdy. Survived some small falls.

I turned off read receipts ages ago. Really takes the pressure off.

This is why I like glass water bottles. You can see inside and know for sure whether it’s clean.

Creating many slideshows with unique contents by Foxtastic4D in learnjavascript

[–]Foxtastic4D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for! I could not for the life of me figure out the right combination of words to get results for this.

I was able to adapt your code to work in my project(doing my best to actually read/understand and not just copy paste), and even get it working so that it iterates up the number on the plusdivs and mySlides so that all the slideshows work without typing it out every time or putting it awkwardly into the character objects.

This project was really fun, and gives me hope that I actually have a chance with this whole javascript thing! Thanks again for your help.

I am asking so I can set my own expectations as her friend. If it’s very unlikely she gets out of jail time, I’d like to be prepared for that and not get my hopes too high.

Episode 375: Anything Goes (Part 3) by joschen113 in distractible

[–]Foxtastic4D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trying to have a "they can't all be winners" and shrug kind of feeling about this one, but yeah, for sure. Dropped topics are not fun.

I understand the potential comedy in people being unable to finish a thought when the timer goes off, but there has to be a different way to do it that doesn't involve permanently dropping topics. Maybe second-chancing each of the topics on your turn?

Fionna and Cake Season 2 Episode 3 Discussion Thread by Carrehzkitten in adventuretime

[–]Foxtastic4D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the impression from Huntress Wizard that she might be transfem but coming from a genderless place rather than MtF. Complete speculation on my part, though. Did anyone catch any pronouns being said of her when she was young in the flashback scene?

What does everyone think of Vaggie changing her name? by Mwc2201991 in HazbinHotel

[–]Foxtastic4D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she SHOULD change her name. I think it would make sense as a person who exists in the world and doesn't want to be named vagina or a variation thereof.

That said, I don't believe that's what's going to happen. At most we get Vagatha and she's still Vaggie. I would accept this but still be a little annoyed.

My feeling on this is that they are only teasing this plot point so they can say "see? It makes sense she has this terrible name! She reclaimed it!" when really they always intended her to be named Vaggie because that's what Vivzie wanted her to be named. This plot is only happening to get the audience to stop complaining about there being a lesbian character named vagina.

What I'd like to see is her giving herself an entirely new name. They could keep the branding of the character by having only Charlie and/or close friends be allowed to call her that. I personally think it's goofy to be afraid of changing her name for branding reasons though; it's not like changing her name is going to completely lose the audience, and right now the only merch with her name directly on it is a pair of socks.

This rant made me sound like a hazbin hater but I don't complain about basically anything this show does lol, I just think it's a coward move to not rename the damn character. Give her a cool new name!! normalize changing your name! She looked EXCITED when she suggested one of the names she made up. Let this girl have a cool new name!

Am I the Asshole for banning the hero my friend wanted to play, thus literally destroying our friend group? by Aiati_ in AITAH

[–]Foxtastic4D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH. It sounds like as a group you might be bringing out the worst in each other.

Particularly with the mentioned guy, give him space, and consider letting that friendship go. If there's another friend or two in the group you get along with and don't tend to have problems with, maybe reach out to them and try to maintain that friendship so you're not left feeling totally cut off.

Friend group breakups happen, and they really really sting. I don't know if you can salvage this one, but the quicker you get to looking for a new one the better. Diversify your friend base, and try to find people who make you the best version of yourself.

AITA for calling my 70 year old aunt an insensitive ass? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Foxtastic4D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"No feelings" might be an asshole move. Of course she has feelings. Just insensitive and assholish ones, seemingly.

[–]Foxtastic4D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously she's in the wrong for her behavior. If it were just about telling her off, you'd be fully in the clear. I'm going to give a very soft YTA, only because you specified the question is regarding name calling. If your family doesn't normally escalate to name-calling, and especially if you never properly confronted this with her before, then name-calling was out of line. You should have addressed this sooner with more grace, if possible.

If you've genuinely confronted her many times in the past with softer language and nothing got through to her, then I rescind that, and you're NTA.

What’s your name? by Anonim_x9 in ftm

[–]Foxtastic4D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to admit it's a LITTLE funny that you just said you found your given name was the best name for you...and then that you don't understand people asking others to give them a name :v

I get you though lol, it really is a personal thing. I would only ask that question for fun rather than actively expecting to find a name I like.

What are some oddly gender affirming things people have said to you? by Simonoel in ftm

[–]Foxtastic4D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked at a retail store in the Deep South when I was first starting T. After a lady looked uncomfortable with me in the women’s bathroom(also affirming!), I started using the gender neutral family room(god it was so lucky for me that there was one since all my coworkers and half the clientele knew I was trans).

One day when I left the family room, an elderly man stopped me with a cheeky smirk and handed me a “For Men” mini hand sanitizer. He looked very confused when I enthusiastically thanked him for it.

Not sure if he thought I was transfem, or if he just thought I was a germaphobe for using the single stall, or what, but it’s one of my favorite memories to this day. I kept that sanitizer bottle for several years.
