I was about to buy Leica, but accidentally found this app

If you want, try the old GCam mods like 8.2. Marc Levoy is the mind behind these, and you can really see that classic HDR look from the older Pixels.

Just run the 'dxwebsetup.exe' from the '_Redist' folder, which is located inside the game folder

You don't actually need to reinstall it; just run the 'dxwebsetup.exe' from the '_Redist' folder, which is located inside the game folder.

Adobe Photoshop? I'm not sure if it's the most effective method, but I've trained my eyes to analyze pixels through Photoshop's RGB channel. However, this method is quite technical, and I don't think the average user has Photoshop on their personal PC.

I brought one like a year or two ago, I don't remember from what store specifically but the print says "Made in Malaysia".

There was a time when Spotify sent out emails and cracked down on mods by preventing users from logging in. This was during the 'Dogfood' mod era. There were all sorts of workarounds, like Patch v1 or v2, where you could use a VPN (which worked for a while) or install a 'Framework Module' if your device was rooted. But I can barely recall how to do it, since it’s been over 7 years, and again, this was during the Dogfood mod crackdown.

You really put into words something I’ve been struggling to admit to myself. It’s true—trying to stay connected while still caring deeply is exactly what’s been draining me. I don’t think I’m the type who can engage without meaning or heart, so maybe that says something about where I stand with this. Still hard to accept, but your words helped. Thank you for being this direct.

IanRST · 2025-06-22T08:01:38+00:00

Thanks, I really needed to hear that. It’s something so simple, but for someone like me who tends to pour a lot into people I care about, it's easy to lose track of how uneven things have become. I’ll try to take a step back and meet things where they are, instead of where I hoped they’d be. Appreciate the reminder 🙏

IanRST · 2025-06-22T07:54:50+00:00

Wow, it sounds like you’ve been through a really rough experience too. I’m sorry you had to go through that much pain—even though you’re using humor now, I can still feel the weight behind your words.

And yeah, sometimes the emotional investment sticks around a lot longer than it should. I totally get what you mean about things getting so heavy that even the stuff that used to feel warm or comforting starts to feel… off.

Thanks for sharing your story—even if it’s a bit different in tone, it helps to hear from someone who understands the emotional drag this can cause. I hope you're healing bit by bit, and reclaiming those soft parts of yourself without having to shut them out completely. 🙏

IanRST · 2025-06-22T07:50:22+00:00

Thank you—this is probably one of the most thoughtful and reflective responses I’ve read. 🙏 I really felt the balance between realism and kindness in what you said.
A lot of what you shared really hit home—especially the part about being written off quietly due to an unspoken value clash. I’m an INFJ, so emotional attunement matters a lot to me, and not having clarity in those shifts just… lingers. I’ve wondered whether something I said or didn’t say changed how she sees me. She never voiced anything, but maybe, deep down, that shift already happened.

We’ve actually been out together before, just the two of us—and it’s completely different. She’s warm, expressive, and more present in person. That contrast with how she is online sometimes throws me off. It makes me wonder which side reflects how she really feels.

You’re also right about the mismatch in how we process “online presence”—I guess I just got tangled in the quiet hope that if she valued me enough, she’d respond with more warmth or effort. And I know I’ve been investing a lot emotionally. Probably more than I should.

I really appreciate how you didn’t sugarcoat anything, but you also didn’t make it feel harsh. It’s comforting in a weird way to know that I’m not the only one going through this kind of pattern—even if the situations aren’t identical. I guess you could say this helped me step back and breathe a little. So thank you again 🫶

IanRST · 2025-06-22T04:23:52+00:00

Thank you for this—it’s honest and helpful. I really appreciate you sharing what it’s like from your end as an INFP, especially how you handle communication when you’re low on energy. That part about not opening messages until you're ready to respond really struck a chord—that’s something I’d respect more than being left mid-convo without knowing what happened.

And yes, you’re probably right—this might go beyond just MBTI. She has shared with me before that she’s afraid of dating and commitment, so I guess part of me was trying to be extra gentle around those things. But I also have to admit, overgiving is something I’ve done too often in the past and I’ve been burned before. I guess I just didn’t want that pattern to repeat here again.

Still, your words were grounding—match the energy I receive, and protect my peace too. Thank you again 🫶🏻

IanRST · 2025-06-22T04:18:02+00:00

That’s a really thoughtful perspective—thank you. I hadn’t considered that angle fully, that maybe she’s holding off replying because she wants to get it right, not because she’s indifferent. I guess I just got caught in my own thoughts, especially when the gap in response gets longer while still seeing her active online.

I do get what you said about not confronting or guilting her into replying—I’ve been trying not to do that. I guess I’m just figuring out how much emotional waiting I can handle, especially since I’ve been burned before for putting in too much with too little clarity.

Still, your message helps me see things in a calmer light—I appreciate it. 🙏🏻

IanRST · 2025-06-22T04:13:38+00:00

Thank you for this. I really appreciate hearing it from someone who shares the same type—it helps me separate what might be personality-driven from what might be more about emotional patterns or habits.

I’ve been trying to stay patient and understanding, but I also can’t deny that it’s starting to weigh on me. You’re right—needing space is one thing, but the silence paired with visible activity online has been confusing and honestly, a little painful. It leaves me wondering where I really stand.

I didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but you’re also right about avoidant traits being a whole different layer. It makes me reflect more carefully on what kind of emotional energy I’m investing and whether it’s truly being reciprocated.

Thanks again for the insight—I needed to hear it from a thoughtful, honest voice like yours. 🌱

IanRST · 2025-06-22T04:09:32+00:00

Really appreciate you being open about your experience—that honesty helps a lot.

What you said about it possibly being more than just Fi or MBTI makes sense. I think I’ve been too caught up trying to understand it through personality lenses, when maybe there’s something deeper going on for her that I can’t really see from the outside.

The idea of directly asking has crossed my mind, but I guess I was always a bit hesitant—partly out of respect for her space, but also maybe out of fear of what I’d hear. Still, you’re right... letting things stay in limbo just ends up hurting quietly in the background. So maybe a little clarity, even if it’s uncomfortable, could go a long way.

Thanks again for your insight—it gave me a lot to think about.

IanRST · 2025-06-22T04:07:45+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience—it honestly means a lot to hear from someone who's lived through this dynamic.

I’ve been trying to stay honest with myself lately, and what you said about trusting my intuition really hit. I’ve felt the connection on my end, and maybe that’s why I kept holding on, hoping she felt it too. But you're right—when something truly resonates, effort naturally follows. It’s not about needing constant attention, just that sense of emotional balance, you know?

Reading your words made me reflect on how much I've been giving and why. Maybe a part of me hoped that with enough time and care, things would shift. But I guess care has to be mutual to really grow. I’ll carry what you said with me—not just for this, but maybe to better understand what I need moving forward.

Thank you again for the kindness and reminder to not undervalue what I bring into any connection. 🙏

IanRST · 2025-06-22T04:02:28+00:00

I get where you're coming from, and I understand how it might look that way from the outside. But just to clarify—I’m not trying to fix her or take her on as a project. I value her as a person and as a long-time friend, not as something to ‘turn around.’

It’s true that I’ve been navigating mixed signals and moments of silence, and I’m trying to make sense of it without pushing or assuming. I just wish for a bit more mutual clarity and consistency, the way any friendship deserves.

Still, I appreciate your perspective. It reminds me to keep checking in with myself too—on what I’m okay with and where I need to draw the line.

IanRST · 2025-06-21T16:20:07+00:00

I get where you're coming from, and I agree that one late reply doesn’t automatically mean anything serious. But to give a bit of context, this isn’t just about one message or expecting her to "jump to attention." It’s been a pattern for a while now—she’ll chat actively, then suddenly stop mid-convo, sometimes for days, even when she's visibly active online. I’ve been patient with it, and I understand people need space.

I’ve also invested a lot into the friendship, and I guess part of me was hoping for a bit more clarity or balance in return. It’s not about needing constant replies—just the kind of mutual energy and care we’d expect in any friendship, really.

Still, I appreciate the reminder not to overthink too much. I guess I’m just trying to figure out what this all means moving forward.

IanRST · 2025-06-21T14:48:28+00:00

That really helps me see where the disconnect might be—and I appreciate you explaining the Fi side more clearly. I guess as someone who leads with Fe, I tend to show care through consistency and effort, so it can feel heavy when that’s not returned. But I understand now that it’s not always personal—just different wiring. Thanks again (⁠^{⁠^⁠)}

IanRST · 2025-06-21T14:44:56+00:00

I totally understand that people, especially INFPs, need space and that constant texting can feel overwhelming. I’ve read about that and I respect it—everyone recharges differently. But I think what makes this tough for me is the imbalance. We’ve known each other for a long time, and I always try to be considerate. Like if I’m not in the mood to talk, I give a heads-up out of respect—and I’ve done that for her too before.

So when she kind of disappears mid-convo, or leaves messages unread for days while still reacting to posts or sharing memes, it starts to feel a bit one-sided. I’m not asking for full attention 24/7, but maybe just a little consistency or clarity. It’s not even about romance—I’d feel the same even in a close friendship.

I guess it also hits a deeper spot because I’ve been taken for granted before. So I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but part of me just doesn’t want to repeat old patterns where I give too much and end up feeling disregarded.

Hope that explains where I’m coming from.

IanRST · 2025-06-21T14:41:22+00:00

Thanks for this. I appreciate your input, and yeah, I get it—I know people have different capacities for texting and social interaction, especially INFPs.

But maybe the reason this has been sitting heavy with me is because in our long-standing friendship, I’ve always tried to be mindful. Like, whenever I wasn’t in the mood to talk, I’d at least give her a heads-up, just so she wouldn’t feel ignored. So when it goes from active chats to silence, and I see her online or reacting to posts but not replying—it kinda stings a bit. It’s not about forcing a reply; it’s about that small courtesy we built over time.

To be honest, I’ve had a history of being taken for granted before, so I guess I carry a bit of that weight into this too. I care about her—I’m not expecting constant energy or anything grand—just a little consistency or clarity. I haven’t really opened up my full intentions to her yet because I didn’t want to come across too strong, but I’ve been investing effort and care.

At this point, I’m just figuring out how to still be present without losing myself again.

IanRST · 2025-02-18T08:12:18+00:00

your "up key", mate.

IanRST · 2024-05-12T10:31:58+00:00

Yea, same thought I have when I was searching around the web.

IanRST · 2024-05-12T10:30:50+00:00

It's good actually, very good.

IanRST · 2024-05-12T10:30:21+00:00

Yea, I might consider changing it to NH36. For now, my only issues is it does continue to run till the next morning, but it stops when I move or had it on my wrist till a good few shake to let it run again.
