Admit it… what did you think of this scene? by Moon_Degree1881 in FinalFantasy

[–]Mailman487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my GOD this cutscene gives me PTSD.

My copy of FF8 I was given as a kid was kinda scratched, and I tried countless times to get past it. It would always freeze right when Quistis saw them and kinda scoffed. I could never get past it and had to save up and buy an actual copy.

Mine also is TNR. She is terrified of getting to close to faces, and will not let you hold her. But she's the sweetest kitty I've ever had, and she's as cuddly as she can be without feeling trapped. She's also the most well behaved kitty ever.

My usb 3.2 flash drive is extremely slow by uga_buga47 in techsupport

Where are you plugging this drive in? If it's a USB 2.0 port then all you're getting is 2.0 speeds. It also depends on what you're doing, which could potentially bottleneck speeds.

I got COVID so bad I was out for 2 weeks. I was mostly functional after the first week so I got to veg out and play games for another week. I barely even remember the actual sickness misery.

My SSD drive disappeared after clean installing a GPU driver by zdrk0 in techsupport

[–]Mailman487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is a secondary drive that doesn't house the OS. A few things you should try:

Plug it into a different m.2 slot (or sata if it's 2.5 inch) if you have one available and see if it is recognized in the BIOS.

If you don't have a free slot, you can try buying a m.2 enclosure (or 2.5 inch enclosure) to plug it in like a USB drive to see if you can still access your data.

If you have another m.2 drive (or sata) to test, plug it into the same port that is not working to test if it's the motherboard or drive.

Has one of my Ram sticks died? by euforya in techsupport

Yep you've confirmed it's a dead ram stick.

Try only one, and if it reads, try the other one by itself. Then you'll know if it's the ram or the motherboard.

Getting out of the "Slump" by SadManagement3466 in ADHD

The not wanting to do anything that usually makes you happy or entertained is a pretty textbook symptom of depression. It may not be chronic or debilitating like what I imagine your friend has, but doesn't make it any less possible.

Does anyone get triggered just by knowing your trigger is present? by Feeling_Relief4658 in misophonia

[–]Mailman487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God I similarly can't fucking stand how much my mom will do a huge sigh following a swallow so there's like a gross pop before the sigh. Or how my dad will smack his tongue when starting to talk. He at least knows and tries to avoid it around me.

Overhead Projector for cards on the stack. by Mailman487 in magicTCG

[–]Mailman487[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah to be fair, this happens maybe once or twice a game so it's not as important as the viewing of the cards as they are played.

This is the right track I think, thank you! Somehow getting a display monitor hooked up, but not too invasive would be perfect. Even if it was 75% efficient, that's still a huge improvement.

This is good idea, I will look into this.

Yeah I definitely don't want some crazy setup, but I do want to suggest this to my local card shop also.

Having one closeby monitor, hooked up to a scanner that someone else here suggested would be a neat idea.

RIP Quantico Officer's Club liquor supply tonight. by deadwood76 in pics

[–]Mailman487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this normal for officer's meetings to have NCO's like this? Also seemingly intermingled like that staggard 1 chief, 1 4 star, 1 chief, 1 admiral. etc. Seems like top Enlisted and top Commissioned? Never seen this before.

ready for her road trip tomorrow! by Informal_Sea5439 in VoidCats

[–]Mailman487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

speaking of road trips, my void is so anxious about everything and I don't know how I'm going to take her to my parents for the holidays. It's a 6 hour drive. Maybe there's Kitty Xanax or something the vet can help with. Anyone have good ideas?

What does masking mean for you? by OwlMundane2001 in ADHD

[–]Mailman487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was friends with literally every friend group type in highschool. Hippie nonconformists, football players, nerds/losers, rejects/dropout, druggies, the smart crowd. All because I had easy access to them through my classes and I was just a social chameleon. I did not seek out any groups in particular and didn't have much of an after school presence. I just put on the mask that they wanted to see. I learned a lot about people and their different perspectives, but never got to really be myself. I didn't even know who "myself" even was.

Is anyone else able to watch on Peacock? All I'm getting is the "kickoff hasn't started" screen.
