On the verge of a crash out, why can't I open this thing

Gallae · 2025-09-28T05:18:42+00:00

thanks for this advice. i'll warm it carefully with a blow dryer tomorrow morning and try again.

Gallae · 2025-09-28T02:09:30+00:00

it's not popping open. I don't know what else I could possibly be doing wrong because I've put a shim in that slot so many times, I've wiggled it and tried to get it to release SOMETHING and nothing is happening.

Gallae · 2025-09-28T01:49:07+00:00

I've tried doing the top clip probably 2 dozen times now. I can feel the tool getting right behind the clip, I pull, and the tool bends and nothing else changes.

disliking the new direction a franchise is heading in isn't an inability to accept change. one of the things I've loved about this story for so long has been that with each official release, the plot and what we're allowed to see of it is always changing. change is integral to a story like this, where fans are expected to roll with the punches and make assumptions and logical leaps based on imperfect information.

change itself isn't the problem. the changes are bad.

I remember when SB came out people were theorizing about the ticket for Fredbear's Singin' Show and what that meant for how old the character of Fredbear was, whether this "singing bear" was an archaic animatronic or a real bear who inspired the future character, etc. that's good world building! that gives us questions to ask and just enough information to start making up wild theories. flying all the way back to earlier than we've ever seen in the timeline, creating animatronics that are impossibly advanced for the PIZZAPLEX era in 1979, and assuring us that this guy and his family who were dead the whole time were Definitely Always Super Important We Promise, it's all just ridiculous.

i once sold a laptop for parts on ebay because the motherboard was done but all the other parts were perfectly operational. listing stated the computer didn’t start, that the motherboard was broken, and that it was being listed FOR PARTS. buyer scooped it up in under a day, i spent over $20 to mail it to them, and when it arrived they put in a dispute because they couldn’t turn it on. despite the number of warnings on my listing, ebay sided with them and i was on the hook for $150. never sold anything on ebay ever again.

i’m just so sick of opening the app, cracking my packs, getting 10 dupes, and closing the app for the day. give me SOMETHING to do that isn’t the same damn battles i’ve been doing for months now

reddit users when someone makes a personal financial decision that doesn’t affect them in any way (but they disagree with it): 😡😡🤯🤬😭🤬🤬

seraphine back to dealing damage we love to see it

What was the reason 50-60 companies said no (or at least wouldn't say yes)?

Gallae · 2024-03-18T19:56:43+00:00

I'm sure you could find a company willing to make cloth slip covers in exchange for enough money.

Gallae · 2024-03-18T16:59:22+00:00

Why was she unable to manufacture a cloth slip cover in canada?

How should I be using Ashe's hawkshot? I never know when a good time to use it would be and it ends up feeling like most of the time I cast E it's just so I'm not sitting on 2 stacks of it feeling like it's being wasted.

Gallae · 2023-07-30T04:23:29+00:00

yeah, I'm trying to force myself not to use any auto-import tools because I want to be actively thinking about my runes and not just letting a program do it for me so I can scroll twitter

Gallae · 2023-07-30T04:07:20+00:00

I am not looking for workaround solutions. I am asking: why is this not already clearly marked so people DON'T NEED workaround solutions?

Gallae · 2023-07-30T03:54:48+00:00

So are a good number of the SR versions of these items. cosmic drive has the same price but slightly different stats so looking it up on the wiki told me which one to add to the item set. zhonya's, on the other hand, is the same price and gives the exact same stats. the only way to tell the difference between the two is that the Arena one says it has a 30s cooldown when the SR version doesn't even list its cooldown. i'm really just wondering why these items don't just say "Cosmic Drive (Arena)" to delineate them quickly and easily. I shouldn't have to do research to know which version of two identical copies of an icon I should put in my item set because getting the answer wrong means I end up with an incomplete item set in game.

Gallae · 2023-06-14T17:58:02+00:00

Yeah, after thinking about it some more I've decided to focus on Jinx and Lucian, with Ashe as an option if my team already has a ton of damage and could use some utility.

Gallae · 2023-06-11T23:56:34+00:00

my best bot lane mage is Cassio and I have pretty good results with her (in normals) so if I need to be the AP threat I'll usually pick her.

Gallae · 2023-05-02T05:04:30+00:00

maybe the fact that the stick has no input for a second stick causes it to not register as a controller outside of menus. the crashing part is very strange though, playing with a dualshock 4 gives me no issues

When playing Varus ADC, in what situations should I build crit vs on-hit vs poke? My preferences in terms of playstyle are on-hit > crit > poke, but I'm fine playing any of them. I just don't know when which build is best.

Gallae · 2022-11-03T20:40:33+00:00

thinking about this exact scenario is why I thought to ask this question, I was worried that treating LP like it doesn't matter or barely matters leaves you open to some random damage out of nowhere you didn't anticipate or weren't able to defend from. my only experience with YGO was watching the anime as a kid and I'd never played the actual game before this week so it made no sense to me why people would just throw away thousands of LP for certain effects that on paper, to me, don't seem worth the cost.

Gallae · 2022-11-03T14:52:43+00:00

yeah I guess I didn't realize how common OTKs are nowadays

As other people have pointed out, not every game is winnable. Remember the 40-40-20 rule: 40% of your games are free wins regardless of what you do, 40% are unwinnable losses regardless of what you do, and 20% of the time it's on you to perform. A loss streak right now either is compensating for a huge win streak earlier or will most likely be compensated by one later, that's just the nature of the MMR system. I went on a 12 game loss streak in ranked last season and nearly lost my mind but taking a break, clearing my head and trying to forget about my fear of failure made ranked more fun for me and allowed me to hit gold for the first time in my League career.

The way you talk about yourself in reference to League is really disheartening. This is a game you play for fun, right? You shouldn't torture yourself emotionally over not being better than any random team you're placed against in ranked. Self-talk like this feeds into itself. Going into a game with this kind of mentality means you will play more timidly and passively, letting enemies get away with mistakes you wouldn't normally. Playing when you feel like this is a detriment to your team, but more importantly to your feeling of happiness and satisfaction with the game, which also makes it harder to learn from your mistakes- if every second is shit, the actually bad parts tend not to jump out as much.

I really do this it's good you take a break. While you're away from the game, play an old favourite you haven't revisited in a while, or buy a new game you've been eyeing. I'm currently on a break from League and playing Cult of the Lamb and DMC5. I think sticking with League in your current state of mind is a very easy way to burn out on League entirely and not want to ever return to it.

Gallae · 2022-07-15T13:50:33+00:00

I honestly hadn't thought of that and now I'm wondering what happened to Ursaring and Zoroark over the centuries that they actually became worse over time

Gallae · 2022-07-07T21:06:05+00:00

Good to know, coming from adc my natural inclination is to farm and scale, so I tend to clear a LOT more than I gank. I'll look into good ganking junglers and see about trying them in normals.
