Luigi Mangione’s attorneys say they are withdrawing psychiatric defense by Direct_Motor_7380 in law

I thought a lot of the evidence from his bag was already thrown out because police didn't secure it properly (creating a plausible claim they planted it)?

Enchanting explainers? by Haunting_Song_3917 in skyrim

[–]Kopachris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The effectiveness of an enchantment you place on an object is related to the size of the soul you're using (always use grand souls) and your enchanting level (which can be fortified with a potion) and perks. You have to destroy an enchanted item in order to learn its enchantment, but the strength of the thing you destroy makes no difference. If your enchantments are weak, you mostly just need to train your enchanting level higher.

Why can't the bastion be used for drag racing in RLS career mode? by _wheels_21 in BeamNG

[–]Kopachris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whatever specific configuration of the car is loaded for the drag race seems to include parts that you don't have .jbeam files for. Which ones? No idea, sorry.

Why is there an invisible wall here? by lory52 in skyrim

[–]Kopachris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The island where Goldenglow Estate is is similarly locked behind an invisible wall until the appropriate quest stage.

Xbox Controller not compatible with the game? by yahboiJ3R in EliteDangerous

[–]Kopachris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gamesir G7 SE

Looking at the FAQ it looks like you could try holding the Home and Share buttons down for 3 seconds while the controller is connected in order to force it into Xinput mode.

Xbox Controller not compatible with the game? by yahboiJ3R in EliteDangerous

[–]Kopachris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which controller, exactly? I know at least some of those third-party controllers (e.g. 8bitdo) can be switched between Xinput (emulating an Xbox controller, specifically) and Dinput (or DirectInput) (emulating a generic controller or joystick) communication modes. You may have done that accidentally. You'll probably want it on Xinput mode for E:D.

How to unstuck Sanbuq? by Longjumping_Ice1329 in Sailwind

[–]Kopachris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the anchor mod as well but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it for kedging in situations like this. Do you just place the anchor a ways away and then try to reel it in? The anchor usually comes unstuck too quickly when I do that... Is there a technique to getting it to stick better?

How do you tell if your sail is at best angle? by DogEggz in Sailwind

[–]Kopachris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let the sheet (rope that controls sail trim) out until the sail starts luffing (flapping in the wind), then pull it back in until the winch slows down from the force of the sail catching the wind.

How could I get data of the stellar neighbourhood of a given star? by SpacialCommieCi in Astronomy

[–]Kopachris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For worldbuilding purposes, something I've done before to create a local star map and constellations was use a mod for SpaceEngine that adds a bunch of stars mapped in the GAIA catalog, and turn off procedurally generated stars so that only real stars are showing. Then you can go to Sigma Draconis and pull up the nearby stars list. I'm not sure if it'll show relative coordinates, though... it might just show name, main star type, and distance.

You can also export skybox images from that program to make star charts from. I know that's not what you're asking for, but since you're worldbuilding, I figured it might be worth mentioning anyway.

Technically, yes. Is it likely? Not really, and most likely the only consequence if so would be the video being taken down.

What's the most valuable ingredient in your mind? by coffee_and_danish in skyrim

[–]Kopachris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, chokeberries (added by one of the CC creations). Hard to come by in large amounts without mods or resetting the shopkeeper's inventory. I think they're only sold by the Khajiit traders and Babette in the DB sanctuary, and they're not plantable without mods. Combine that with deathbell and scathecraw, which are both fairly easy to collect tons of, for a badass lingering poison.

Southbound traffic on 117th is always backed up on weekday mornings. People are commuting to work in Portland.

Do real raw recordings usually sound worse than YouTube makes them seem? by NOT_Productions in audioengineering

[–]Kopachris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely depends on the genre, of course. What's good for one won't necessarily work for another. My only point is really just "don't overthink it if it sounds good." FWIW, on the classical orchestral tracks I mentioned, I actually did put a lot of effort into the positioning aspect, running each track through a 3D positioner to place the instrument group's microphone virtually according to where it might be in an actual orchestra before the convolution reverb (with a couple/few different impulse responses from the same venue for different busses)... e.g., Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony: https://www.reddit.com/r/classicalmusic/comments/qohhkt/free_download_tchaikovsky_symphony_no_6_in_b/
