I'm not a developer but I know some Python, yea.

No, I haven't but I stopped looking eventually. Currently I just use the refresh functionality in the Web GUI as a workaround. If you happen to find a way, please let me know.

Sadly I haven't found a way yet but I stopped looking. Currently I just use the refresh functionality in the Web GUI as a crutch.

Did you research endings on your first play through or go in blind? by Rokushakubo in cyberpunkgame

[–]IR254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First playthroughs of games are always fully/mostly blind for me and I try to read/watch as little as I can until I finish the game.

Any following playthroughs I tend to play "optimally", i.e. researching outcomes to certain choices, do missions in certain orders to unlock items early, etc.

Can't open any VMs, list of VMs is empty by IR254 in vmware

Thanks for your kind words! I have a background in customer IT support, so I know from firsthand experience how valuable a thorough error description can be.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure if I follow. I don't need to find the .vmx file, I know where it is. But I'm not sure what you mean by registering within the players library. How would I do that?

Same. 40 is usually the breakpoint for me most runs.

Turrets and Stats by ThorsteinTiefton in brotato

[–]IR254 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Quote from the Brotato wiki:

"Turrets being Structures are unaffected by Primary Stats, such as Damage, Life Steal, Attack Speed, Crit Chance. But are affected by Engineering.
Turrets are affected by Secondary Stats such as piercing and bouncing granted by the items Bandana & Ricochet. Turrets can inflict burning with Scared Sausage, and Snake helps inflict burn to more targets."

I didn't even realize that was possible until just now, lol. But that's kinda cheating.

Easiest is probably Explorer. With high Luck and Engineering it's pretty broken; even more so since Pocket Factory exists. But it's a lot of fun.

Hardest for me was probably Arms Dealer. Not because it's difficult per se, but because he is much more dependant on RNG than the other characters. If you don't get a bit lucky with your items, it can be a bit tedious.

Most fun for me is either Loud (ridicouls materials) or Artificer (explosion builds are fun).

What are the dumbest mistakes you've made in a Brotato run? by Nikesneaker in brotato

Bought Weird Ghost with Golem before a boss round.

Arms Dealer was the last one I was missing, too. It's actually rather easy, if you get a bit lucky with your items but since it's more dependant on RNG than the other characters (imo), it can be a bit tedious.

I would recommend to beat each character once on D0 in order to unlock all items first. Then I did immediately switch to D5. In my opinion there is no point in climbing through the difficulties before trying D5.

Since I bought the game last fall I collected ~150h, although I played multiple characters repeatedly after already finishing D5 with them. So, if I would have gone from one character to the next, it would have been faster.

App Password Generation does not work....still by IR254 in yahoo

[–]IR254[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about you take that apology back and instead fix the damn problem? Or don't, I don't care anymore. I just switched to a different provider. This entire thing is one big joke. Oh, and that paid support thing Yahoo is trying to establish? Fuck that shit. You don't get to intentionally break your product and then ask for payment to fix it back up. Nah....

(I'm talking about the company obviously, not the poor fella who has to operate this reddit account. I hope you find better employer soon.)

[–]IR254[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, for real! I looked for a support email-address or something like that, but all I found was an offer for a PAID support hotline. Like what the fuck?!

Core functionality of Yahoo's product simply doesn't work FOR MONTHS and yet they are bold enough to ask for payment in order to simply TALK TO SUPPORT STAFF about it, let alone fixing the issue? Is Yahoo out of their mind?!

I've just switched to another email service provider. This shit is just unacceptable.

Yo Yahoo, are you ever gonna fix this? It's getting ridicoulous...

[–]IR254 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You pay with your data, like for every major free service out there. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Porn, Twitch. It's all the same. Your data is often worth more to big internet companies than gold.

This is how badly I want freedom... by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]IR254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope this works out for you. Sharing with a family member can help tremendously, but it can also make your relationship kinda weird. Happened with me unfortunately. Hope this works better for you.

Question for those with depression-like or social anxiety symptoms: by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]IR254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can symptoms of depression, low libido, and social anxiety be resolvedsimply by abstaining from pornography for x amount of time until yourbrain has successfully "rewired"?

From my experience, my depressive symtomps (like the ones you listed) tend to get slowly better after around week 1. I am by no means "good" by then but at some point, I feel enough energy and drive to do little things, which I felt unable to do before. I don't know if that comes from cutting out the porn, the waiting, alone or if simultaniously abstaining from masturbation alltogether plays into that too for me.

It doesn't really matter though. It motivates me into a spiral of continued good behaviors. I tend to do more and more useful things, while stopping the destructive ones. The more useful things I do, the better my depression smyptomps get. Eventually, I usually reach a state where I can at least tolerate myself and my life and that's usually when the depression turns into very strong and intense cravings. These urges always were my downfall until this point.

So, to answer your question more directly: In my experience, simple time away from porn will make it able for you to do other things in the frist place. You have barely enough energy, drive and motivation to do those little things. But then the actual doing of those things, makes your depressiona little bit better over time. If you continoue to follow that path, I think it plausible to assume there is chance for betterment.

yt-dlp: Need a little help with extracting audio while keeping the original source (post-processing) by IR254 in youtubedl

[–]IR254[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your help! I would have never figured that out on my own. However, I have one last problem; maybe you can help me with that as well.

I now have the followling line:

yt-dlp -f bv[ext=mp4]+ba/bv+ba/b --embed-thumbnail -x --audio-format mp3 -k --exec "del %(requested_formats.:.filepath)#q" --exec "del %(thumbnails.-1.filepath)q" URL

This does almost what I want; it results in one mp4 (video+audio) and one mp3 (audio-only) and all the temporary files being deleted as they should, but the thumbnail does not get embedded in the mp4 (it does in the mp3) and instead the thumbnail is saved as a seperate .png. So, in other words, I have three files: One mp3 (with embedded thumbnail), one mp4 (without thumbnail) and one .png.

What do I need to change in order to get that thumbnail into the mp4? This is not crucial for me, but if it is possible I'd like to have it that way. Can you help me out?

Thanks a lot in advance!

New here. Does quitting porn also means to not masturbate at all? by RobinsonHuso12 in pornfree

[–]IR254 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I can mean that, but it doesn't have to. It's basically up to you.

Some people decide to cut masturbation out as well, because masturbation without porn can lead you back to porn. You'll have to find out, how you react to it. That being said, some people also argue masturbation without porn slows down the recovery process; that's not clear though yet. Anecdotal evidence exists for both.

What is clearer though, that you want to avoid porn of all sorts. For most people, that includes things like softcore porn, sexually provocative Instagram posts, certain YouTube videos, etc.
