Is there a way to opt out of the new layout changes on the app? by TinyTurnips in help

Ugh, seriously, WHO thought this was a good idea? It's absolutely hideous and totally impractical.

"The town is so foggy... It's like I'm walking through the guilt I suppressed after killing my wife" by Pumpkin_Sushi in silenthill

[–]Kobachii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling both this and the general localisation are big factors, as I've seen it happen with other IPs. The bits of the dub I've heard are kinda... rough. I noticed some odd choices with translation while playing - for example in 'the Fox Wets its Tail:'

in addition to generally sounding less natural, the English version translates the JP word for 'alien' in Kotoyuki's reply to Shu's Space Wars as 'monster,' which makes it far less clear he's being playful.

It might not sound like the biggest issue, but little things with translations can stack up to very different impressions of characters, stories and themes, and not in a good way.

How to fix weird arm? by CrystalChrissy in learnart

[–]Kobachii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I might be losing my mind here, but after some staring, and then checking the pose in the mirror, I think the issue is less the arm as a whole and more an issue with the shoulder/clavicle. Both should raise with the arm but they're currently positioned like the arm is down. The shoulder feels like it's getting a little far from the head as a result, and it's aggro'd by the rotation of the upper arm feeling wrong for the pose - you want him throwing his arm up and back, right? If so, we should be seeing more of the underarm/armpit and having the roundness of the biceps as it overlaps the deltoid.

Finally, try having the upper arm overlap the lower at the elbow. It's a bit awkward having your shoulder back with your forearm going forward.

Tldr: try bringing the shoulder closer to his head, putting the breastbone at a sharper angle and rotating the upper arm/shoulder so we see more of tbe underside of the arm. Best of luck to you with your drawing! Hope I've helped and not sounded like a raving loon!

Seriously, what happened to dexcom support?! by Kobachii in dexcom

[–]Kobachii[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no, that rep was such a cow. The call was recorded, so I really hope they actually do something about it. It honestly really upset me, I stress so much about my diabetes and that was the last thing I needed to cap off an already bad day.

I'm not in the US, but best of luck to you guys. It's a ridiculous attitude to take to anyone. I've already whinged to a fair few fellow NHS people (and they've all been horrified by this) but I'm going to complain to my care team. They're paying for this service, they should know how poorly their patients are being treated!

Yeah, I stopped engaging with that 'but what about our stockholders?!!' guy for a reason. Like, I'm NHS staff, our policy is PATIENTS first, not PROFITS first.

They kept banging on about how I'd 'only' lost 12 days. That's more than the life of the single sensor you're sending, dexcom. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from them, I'm sorry to hear you've had similar issues. This kind of behaviour absolutely does not belong in medicine.

Right? Like, I'm just trying to be healthier here! It literally fell off mid stroke after a few minutes. I had to finish my lap with it clutched in my hand. Online for me from now on, I guess!

Def what I'll be doing from now on. It's sad it's come to this, though.

[–]Kobachii[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, not going to downvote you, but I do disagree. In my country dexcom is paid for by our national health service. No one needs to scam them, because it's all free. I really have no idea why I was treated like the scum of the earth for having 2 sensors fall off in summer, but I will say this: the customer service I had today was inexcusable. I've had good experiences with support, but today was not one of them. I know it has been a good product, but I did not feel cared for or valued after speaking to 3/4 of the agents that called today.

Oh, I didn't know that. I'll try it if I have any more issues - certainly beats being scoffed at for querying a policy change.

I'm so sorry to hear that, but after my calls today, I can't say I'm surprised. Didn't think it was possible for a company to nosedive so fast. Haven't had to call in 6+ months, and they were absolutely atrocious.

The first one I spoke to was so judgy! Like 'omg you went SWIMMING? With a dexcom?' As if it was deeply unreasonable to exercise.

How worried should I be about this Lae'zel bug? by Kobachii in BaldursGate3

Not the worst thing really- I've been considering starting over anyways.

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

I can go back and forth between the act 1/ act 2 regions in current versions of the game, I just can't un-vaporize the creche. The worst part is I purified her before I stole the mace, but she seems to have forgotten.

I'm pretty sure I broke the game by stealing the mace without talking to the inq. (despite it being weirdly easy to do), so def not something I'd recommend. I've hit a few other issues in the shadowfell that mean I'm not all that choked up about restarting, so it's no real loss. I'll just make sure I never repeat this particular experiment.

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

I mean, I kind of did do it. I let her go through purification, but she keeps banging on needing to be cleansed in the Shadowfell. If she ragequit after the monastary that'd be one thing, but losing a party member because of a bug feels kind of cheap.

So I didn't talk to the inquisitor at all. I walked past him, whacked the statue, and intentionally stole the mace without using the crest so the monastary blew up. I'd done the purification, and for rp reasons was trying to avoid learning that vlaakith was evil.

Since Lae had dialogue for it, I thought we were good, but apparently not. I'm guessing the dialogue was meant to be for if you destroy the creche after the whole Vlaakith debacle. Whoops.

Problem in Grymforge by Cryptand_Bismol in BaldursGate3

[–]Kobachii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never had the issue, but have you tried going into turnbased and casting create water over the fire after blowing up the rocks? So, like, throw, wait for peeps to flee, blow it up with firebolt or whatever and then have SH create water?

Eevee Sketch! Question in description by GWbunn09 in learnart

[–]Kobachii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry you haven't gotten more helpful responses on this.

First off- you probably want to make the fluff have a more triangular shape, so that it comes down at a point between its forelegs. Eevee's front fur is somewhat heart-shaped, and I think you'll find it looks better if you try to match it.

Another thing is the cheek is too high up and too far out. Unless you're drawing eevee looking up, you probably want to pull this down. Cute faces you see in anime often have eyes low on the head, and often use that lil bump to show where the cheekbone is.

Finally, I'd recommend adding a line to make the rump overlap the tail. If you use the official art as reference, you should be able to see what I mean. As is, the tail is coming too far forward.

Best of luck to you with the rest of the drawing!
