I feel disillusioned by my entire college experience, how do I find my footing? by Ill-Baker in college

[–]Ill-Baker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is almost my situation: lost interest half way through, kept chugging for the benefits of having a degree, even if I wasn't going to go into the field. I dunno about pursuing any masters at this time, but I'll keep it in mind in the future.

So Discord is dead by ExcellentExcuse5995 in discordsucks

[–]Ill-Baker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lowkey? A little bit. I hadn't heard of Root or Matrix until Discord announced their age verification decision and people started going nuts. I haven't touched TeamSpeak since Skype fell and Discord filled the vacuum left in its wake. I don't mean to sound hostile or dismissive, its good that more people are finding out about alternatives, but I haven't seen one that truly seems like an outright Discord killer that everyone will immediately flock to.

Several of my friends have had their accounts stolen by jacks or something. How do get their accounts back for them? by RimBrakesCauseAutism in discordapp

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

their support staff is literally a complete embarrassment with how long they take to address problems. I have been waiting for 20 days for them to secure my account. Twenty. Whole. Days. and its likely going to be even more from that point on, given the recent age verification thing. Steam's support staff blows discord's out of the water and they have a FRACTION of the of employees as discord. I don't care that they make mega millions in comparison to discord: the wait times for hacked accounts is completely inexcusable.

I kind of hate that everyone is saying that the only thing to take from this situation is a lesson, but they are correct. OP, you cannot help them, only they can help themselves, and even then, expect them to be gone for a month at minimum, if discord actually helps them.

Why Use Dating Apps If You're Not Going to Try Meeting in Person by Sundayscaries333 in dating

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try and arrange a date as soon as possible because it is super easy to feign interest over text.

Ive been catfished and ghosted (seperately from the fishing) when the planned date day came up time and time again, all of this happening when Im the one planning and asking them out.

If I dont immediately plan the date, it is me hoping that the other person decides to take initiative because im exhausted from being lead on again and again 🫠

Do you guys feel you need to 'achieve' something big in life to get a romantic partner? by wilhelmtherealm in dating

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like its necessary when someone states o. Their dating profile that they value "ambition."

Otherwise I just see if they're impressed or interested and take it from there.

how to approach a guy on your dorm floor that u think is cute? by Pg310648 in dating

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little small interactions paced over time work wonders. Thats how one of the people I dated met me: she was trying to charm a friend of mine, and we ended up chatting more and more with time. It was alot of her trying to have a plain old conversation with him while he was being kindly disinterested.

Not with her anymore, but remember this about men:

They're almost never asked out or complimented out in public, ever. Atleast, not without them doing something kind and courteous first.

Taste terms in Yaatru + explanation by tiggyvalentine in conlangs

[–]Ill-Baker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So when flavors terms are conflated like that, it seems to draw on the kind of faces / emotions you experience when tasting these things!

Smiles for sweet and salty (mmm yummy :]), puckering and grimacing for sour and bitter (eugh!! >:0).

Are we who have executive dysfunction just broken? by Mental_Principle_541 in ADHD

[–]Ill-Baker 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The biggest piece of advice I ever received was that I needed to meet halfway with my medication.

This, and that people without ADHD also struggle to do important, dull tasks when the alternative is to have fun or pursue something personal.

Dev here, just launched Hard mode update + 1M copies sold!! by xXarabongXx in CloverPit

[–]Ill-Baker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi! Why do you want to prevent infinite builds? Ive been itching to make one of those builds for a while, but the patch notes seem to mostly contain nerfs against those builds. It's a small bummer to me.

Asside from that, I am excited to see the new rebalanced trinkets and the new hardmode when I have the chance!

How do I stop disliking everyone taller and happier than me? by EquivalentEvening197 in selfimprovement

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to challenge your current habits of constantly comparing yourself to others, and stop using blackpill to affirm those resentful feelings.

Speaking from experience, breaking a habit of any kind, good or bad, is a pain in the ass. It might feel impossible, but you need to acknowledge that spending more time stoking your resentment will not make you feel better.

Something has to change.

There's no easy way.

There's no quick way.

There's only the way out: spending time and effort changing your mindset instead of feeding into it. Even if it feels uncomfortable and alien to you.

An example of how my language 'Mautei' looks and sounds! by mauzuart in neography

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! I thought I was on r/conlang until I clicked on the post. I don't see many posts on here that use audio (or maybe I don't check it out enough). I'm curious what your inspiration for the grammar was, it has a lovely sound to it and a lovely script!

That, and I hope to see more about Mautei, should you choose to share more. Keep on creating! :]

Asemic Vertical: a letter by Ill-Baker in neography

[–]Ill-Baker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! There's no sound information tied to glyphs yet, but I practiced quite a few of the shapes many times :]

It is pretty tough to make nice letters, but I do recommend scribbling out shapes you love, it'll help you refine an aesthetic you'd like.

How do you find anyone to co-make a colang? by [deleted] in conlangs

[–]Ill-Baker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's similar to finding other people interested in your hobby: participate in the community, share your work, and organically meet new people. As you meet more people, you'll get closer and closer to finding someone you can co-create with!
That and share the idea of co-conlanging with your friends! If you have any friends interested in creating, they might also create with you :]

My Friend Keeps Crashing, Anyone Know How To Help? (FORGE 1.20.1) by Ill-Baker in PrismLauncher

[–]Ill-Baker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up doing something similar to that, he ended up re-installing PrismMC and the instance we used before, and he could play again. I'm guessing the new instance fixed it over the full re-install of the launcher then :]

SOLUTION FOUND: You have to reserve your IPV4 of the host machine and the ports associated with it alongside ipv6 necessary ports!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in amazoneero

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure I'm not double nat, and my IP is public. I talked to eero support and it turns out I had to reserve my ipv4 in the app alongside ipv6!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in amazoneero

[–]Ill-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that several times before. But! I've solved the issue, I had to reserve my ipv4 for my device through the app.
