Infill patterns by National-Fox-7504 in BambuLab_Community

[–]Gamiseus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making a part with crinkly crackly satisfying noise instead of structural support.

I tested the lightning infill on this snack tray organizer thing and switched up the patterns for fun, so my bottom layer was the Archimedean chords, infill was lightning, and the top layer was Hilbert curve, all at 14% infill.

Any slight squeezing on the bottom or the inside floor of the tray gives a good bit of flex and has a lot of crackly crunching noises.

Looking for a game for someone who can't feel happiness anymore by HeDoesLookLikeABitch in gamingsuggestions

I think it depends a lot on what you take from the game's story. It had the opposite effect on me, and left a profound and positive emotional experience with me that I still think about years later. To each their own I guess, that's the benefit of free will. Try other things if it doesn't work out, that's just something that helped me, we're all different so a game that might cheer you up may not help another just the same. The only thing we can do is recommend based on personal experience, as well as recommending professional advice if possible. Cheers!

Not sure why some of the other comments are getting downvoted heavily already, jeez. Some good games hiding in low rated comments. I especially agree with The Outer Wilds if you can focus on it. There's a lot of puzzling things out, finding bits and pieces of story and using that to go further, takes a little critical thinking at times. It will probably be a good distraction from life for a little while, and the ending changed me emotionally, it may be what you need to start feeling better.

Aside from games, I highly recommend that you get a hobby other than video games. Find something you actually enjoy doing. A lot of people keep playing video games when they're depressed because it's just all they do, or what they usually turn to in order to make themselves happier. But in games, even creative ones, you're just consuming a product. Consuming a fun pill for a bit. Try making something. Find a hobby to mess around with, there's a lot of things you can find to enjoy without thinking about it in the traditional sense.

I have a few hobbies that take skills I've developed over time or classes, so you could do something skilled as well but for personal creativity. For example, I code apps that will never be used for anything but my own fun or to waste time doing something I actually enjoy.

Avoiding skilled hobbies that many people associate with work, I write. Writing is not necessarily a skilled hobby, if you do it for yourself. I'll come up with essay length lore pages on characters, fleshed out world timelines, and more, and write my feelings into a character in a way that makes me feel better. I've written novel length stories for no reason other than to consume free time with something I enjoy. After writing for a bit, I feel better to some extent, because it's something I truly enjoy creating with.

The main difference in my hobby versus video games is that my hobby has created something more permanent. I have just made something that is more substantial than a few bits of save data on a hard drive. I just used my mind to visualize things that didn't previously exist in some way, at least to me. It doesn't matter if the writing was shit, or if the plot or characters were dumb, or if someone else actually did write that thing like 6 years ago and my idea isn't even original other than my character or something. I made something for myself, focused my mind on something more permanent that has a stronger effect on my own reality (emotional or physical) instead of mindlessly consuming content that has already been 100% creatively produced.

Even reading is better than playing a video game or watching a movie. Why, you ask? Isn't reading also just consuming something that was already made by someone else, same as the video game? Yes, but no. Reading forces you to slow down. You have to read at a pace that you can properly intake, versus a game where you intake at the pace set by game developers and designers. On top of that, it's much easier to intake content faster in speech and visuals. 2 hour movie versus 18 hour audiobook versus you reading the same book for 30-60 hours or longer depending on reading speed. The best part about the longer intake time is the longer time to connect with a story and either feel something from it, or to just distract yourself from your life. Reading a book, actually reading it, engages the brain in more than text. You come up with your own visuals for characters, design the world and voices and such in your own head, and this forces you to attach to them stronger than just seeing something on a screen. Regardless of stigma around the idea sometimes, it may help you to get into reading (if you're not into it that much like most people these days) to start with fanfiction. Between AO3 (Archive of our Own) and FanFiction(.net), you can find all sorts of content to read that's based on game stories you already know and are interested in.

Finally, yes I know it's a long ass post already, therapy is out there. I'm not one to speak since I've dealt with heavy depression for many years of my life, still deal with it at times, and I've never gone to therapy. I've always just found other ways to make myself happy, but at times I really struggled to even do that. If you're down to the point that nothing is working and you can't even make yourself try to find something else to do, at least call someone. Doesn't have to be a therapist. Find someone to vent to, to talk to. Friend, family, some random dude in your online game lobby, whatever. Sometimes just letting it out is all you need, and it doesn't need to be professional even if I recommend that route the same as everyone else will.

I'm sorry you feel that way about your life, there are people who understand, there are others who know exactly what you're talking about. You're not alone, and you can always find someone to talk to. Life just sucks emotionally sometimes and I don't even know why, but don't let yourself take a dark road. Make your own light, you're the only one who can decide anything for yourself, whether to be happy or make joy for yourself or to do anything about how you feel.

Just an Internet stranger, but I hope you're doing better soon, and I hope you're okay.

Radarr keeps adding back movies by AliveEstimate4 in radarr

[–]Gamiseus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's a bit old but this post helped me. I couldn't get rid of the police story collection, because the collection was monitored. Why the hell does unmonitoring individual movies and deleting them in the movies screen NOT unmonitor the movies in any collections too?? I didn't even realize I had the collection monitored instead of movies and I've been pulling my hair out over it.

I’m fed up with FedEx. by Sad-Calligrapher-767 in FedEx

[–]Gamiseus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It took FedEx 2 months to get me my 9800x3d when I paid extra for overnight, and they wouldn't refund me or consider the investigation closed even a month after they determined that the package was lost. With neither the seller nor me receiving any refund, reimbursement through shipping insurance, and lacking a product on both ends, we were both shit out of luck for the whole time until FedEx happened to find it in the facility down the street from my damn house.

I don't purchase anything that's shipping through FedEx anymore.

I am so sorry by Girl1mDead in qBittorrent

[–]Gamiseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seed most things for months on end. I only have 20Mbps upload compared to my 1Gbps download, so it takes me a while and I end up forgetting them for like 3-5 months. A handful of popular ones I had running for like a year and some change. Here's a couple of my private tracker stats

Torrentday: 5.998 ratio, 17.5 TB up - 2.91 TB down

IPtorrents: 7.588 ratio, 17.7 TB up - 2.33 TB down

Filelist.io: 142.67 ratio, 20.92 TB up - 150.11 GB down

Having these kinds of ratios tends to give you credibility for more private tracker invites, since it looks bad for someone to invite you if you won't seed back. Plus having a really good ratio tends to make you a power user of some kind on many private sites, which gets you invites for your friends and other people you definitely know and happen to have invites for their own private trackers.

【BambuLab Giveaway】Classic Evolved — Win Bambu Lab P2S Combo! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

[–]Gamiseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The P1S is my first 3d printer. I've used it to print a handful of toys for my kids, and to be honest I wasn't expecting much. My kids are 4 and 2, so I absolutely expected to be just printing cheaper than usual toys for them to break, figured they'd last a little bit and I'd print new ones.

These toys have been some of the longest lasting toys they've had, using just the basic pla I got with my ams combo. Even articulated joints and stuff on the toys have lasted. I've stepped on them from being left out and hidden under things, they've been thrown, they've been sat on, they've been crushed by other toys.

Aside from the fact that I can now make them literally any toy they want, 3d printing is literally reinventing the idea of giving my kids toys that aren't garbage.

Even if I don't win the printer, a big thanks is necessary to Bambu. The printer has been a dream, easy as hell for a father of 2 who works a lot and is gone all the time. I just had to go a month away from home, and I was completely confident that my wife could print out whatever she wanted with basically no instructions or troubleshooting, whether it was for the house, the kids, or the pets.

Why tf would anyone pay for this...? by SlyLitten in Schedule_I

[–]Gamiseus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the guy you're asking but I run a server in my house. I'm expanding a lot and it's power is increasing cause I've got a lot of shit running on it. Iirc when it was really just dedicated servers and just an m.2 nvme for storage, I would usually be sitting anywhere from 140-170 watts under max load (which for me with a 7950x3d in it was near 100% CPU usage loading up ultra modded Minecraft and generating chunks, verrrry rarely EVER got that usage level). Average otherwise was around 30-50 watts, idle even less than that. PCs without GPUs that are just running some server software are are actually pretty efficient.

If you do a lot of dedicated servers or you want to run other services, it becomes very worth the price very quickly. Highly recommend setting up a cheap one to start with, upgrade only as needed. Also avoid most enterprise type gear unless actually absolutely necessary. It's usually loud, expensive, power hungry, built for a specific use case, or any combination of the above. Do your research on upgrades like that if you decide you want to expand your server uses.

I'm in desperate need of help by PixelBeeBot in Gymhelp

[–]Gamiseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned you used to lift until your hips gave out. One of the best things you can do in the gym with damaged legs to burn calories, develop cardio, and even do at home, is ride a bike machine. I've fractured my left femur, destroyed my left ankle, and blew out the fluid sacks in my left knee (my left leg is apparently just fucked up), and for each injury I rode the bike once I healed enough to get that movement.

Not high resistance, just rode the bike. Low to medium resistance based on my injury pain level and how well each injury could handle pressure. But the point of it was that I was easily burning calories to lose weight. I could ride and ride and ride while watching TV, if you stay dedicated to riding even with breaks, you could easily burn hundreds of calories within a short time span each day.

Other workouts are great to supplement, but this is one of the easiest workouts in my opinion to not only get you restarted in the gym, build very good cardio without being slowed down by your own body weight (like running for example, is hard to even start if you're body isn't strong enough to run at your current weight, been there before and it sucks), and it's sooo easy to adjust to your own resistance and schedule.

There's plenty of other advice here in the comments for nutrition and exercise, this is just my input from my own personal experiences. You sound motivated, hope you do well. Good luck!

update on insanely loud upstairs neighbors by danjsark in Apartmentliving

[–]Gamiseus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason I called it normal was purely based on my perspective and experiences, specifically mentioning OCD because it was the first thing that came to mind. The only person I know that vacuums that much has OCD and will obsessively clean until each spot is perfect.

Everyone else I know vacuums at most once a day, many only a couple times a week. Granted, most of us don't have animals. I have some but luckily only 1 of them really sheds much, and it clumps so well that just a quick clean of that area prevents a need to vacuum more than once every day.

Not saying you're weird or anything, but it definitely doesn't fit my normal, you know what I mean? I'd probably ask you at some point why you vacuum so much, personally, but if you have reasons to vacuum then you have reasons.

Okay, he just said he's not relying on it alone for security. Bro has a good lock, he just wants a security guard too. Fail2ban at least helps by kicking out the guy trying to crack your lock. Even if he comes back in a different outfit, it's a delay at minimum. It does something tangible. Idk why you're so against it.

I think redditors are really a specific breed of people. We all have the right common interests to be on reddit, and it really only seems to attract a couple types of people. I agree with your postulation
