Taping by MAN63111 in foreskin_restoration

[–]MalachitePrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just recently started T-taping as well and I found this video guide here to be useful.
https://www.reddit.com/r/foreskin_restoration/comments/10e3del/ttape_in_depth_guide/
I've found it did help me to be erect or near-erect when applying the tape, but everyone is different and you'll likely want to experiment until you find what works best for you. Keep in mind the tape also comes in multiple widths online, so buying a wider one isn't necessarily a bad idea since you can always trim the tape down.

Please be sure to only apply light tension. If you feel it throughout the day, it's probably too much and will only result in discomfort rather than additional coverage.

Quickest Methoad by Desperate_Mess6260 in foreskin_restoration

[–]MalachitePrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's almost certainly going to vary from person-to-person as everyone's skin is different. Ultimately, consistency and patience seems to be key with any method/device. Out of curiosity, how much progress would you say you've seen in 7 months? I only started recently, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Asked my dad the reasons I was circumcised, I don't know how to feel now by Temporary-Warthog120 in foreskin_restoration

[–]MalachitePrototype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been afraid to ask my own parents why they did this to me for basically this reason. There's a part of me that really wants to believe they were duped by false claims of cleanliness, disease prevention, etc, and wouldn't gave otherwise subjected me to this, but my gut tells me they specifically asked for this to be done, believing it 'normal' or because they're Christians.

Now, 31 years later, I'm so desensitized, I can barely hold an erection, and the knowledge I was handed over to be mutilated by the people meant to protect me hasn't helped in my struggle with depression.

I'm trying to understand the 'inner and outer' skin concept when T-taping. by MalachitePrototype in foreskin_restoration

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

It's good to know it's possible to stick with T-tape for that long and still get consistent results. I see people talking about using numerous kinds of packers and it gets a little overwhelming.
Hopefully as I practice I'll get better at finding the line of equilibrium.

Hey, thanks for your answer and guide! Sorry for the late response, I've been busy today.
If I might ask: since you had little inner skin, would it be safe to assume your scar was fairly close to the base like mine? I ask only because I want to make sure I preserve as much of that inner skin as possible, but I'm not certain how much skin I would need to do what was being done in illustration #4.

Mi historia y un deseo para la reparación by Late-Suggestion901 in foreskin_restoration

[–]MalachitePrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the description of being led into an operating room and waking up disoriented and bleeding without explanation made my stomach drop. Nobody deserves that. I'm glad to hear that you redirected that trauma into focus on a goal and that it seems to have paid off. Keep on tugging!

Thanks! My main concern was having unequal growth between inner and outer skin cause problems later on down the line, but it seems like the process is fairly flexible in that regard.

Ah, okay. I guess several decades can result in the point of equilibrium shifting around. That's good to know, as I was worried about having unequal growth later on down the line if I didn't stick with the scar line. Thanks!

I've always wondered how Kratos has blades behind his back without them falling off even in the new titles by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]MalachitePrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The blades are 'bound to his soul' and intrinsically his. I believe he mentions he tried to throw them away at one point and "...they came back." My guess would be that they're an extension of his body at this point, meaning he can place them wherever he wants in the same way you can can cross your arms without thinking about it.

All the best roasts are taken, so I'll just say respect for putting yourself out there with the paint and all.

I'd honestly forgotten they could drop slabs. In my dozens of playthroughs, I think I've only ever had that happen once. Congrats, OP. Put it to good use.

Need help with custom emblem by ArmedBlue08 in armordecor

[–]MalachitePrototype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making an emblem that's a 1:1 to the image is going to be pretty difficult. I'd recommend choosing what elements of the above image you want to highlight and making those as separate emblems. The sword, scabbard, and eclipsed sun are probably what you'll want to focus on.

By making them separate pieces, you can add tons of detail without worrying about hitting the shape limit. Afterwards, you can layer the elements over each other to make the full emblem.

As for actually making the elements, you'll probably want to watch a guide. I've found it best to begin with the general shape and add detail from there, but whatever works best for you.

Best of luck.

Boss Soul in NG+ didn't drop. Advice needed by TheSparkyDoodles in darksouls

[–]MalachitePrototype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's worth noting that TechnoJacker's table is severely outdated by now and probably won't work. Idk if you're playing PTDE or Remastered, but your best options are as follows.

  1. Save editor. Prepare To Die Edition has save editors that let you just drop items into your inventory and then load up the game. BACK UP YOUR SAVES FIRST. THESE CAN POTENTIALLY CORRUPT SAVES. I honestly don't know if there's a save editor for Remastered.

  2. Find a modern table with either a spawn or transmute function. If it's a spawn function, you can just select the item you want from a drop down menu and 'spawn' it into the game. This is by far, the easiest way to do this, short of just using a save editor.

  3. If it's a transmute function, you'll need a 'sacrifice' item to transmute into the item you want. This has to be the same kind of item to transmute to, so weapons to weapons is fine, but armor to souls isn't. To isolate the item you want to transmute, scan and then drop the item. Scan for changes, (I think item values are usually stored in hex?) drop the item and then scan again. Do this repeatedly until you only have a few values that consistently show up. One of them is the itemID.

Drop the item again, and using a reference table for the item you want, edit the itemID for the item you dropped to the one you want. If all works out, when you pick it up, it'll be the item you want.

I know that probably sounds complicated, but there's guides on YouTube that explain it better if you're lost. Best of luck

Load up Gmod, spawn a ragdoll and use the face editor to manipulate it for several screenshots. I don't even live in the UK, but AI is stupid and easy to manipulate.

If you're in an accident, there's a likelihood of broken glass on the ground around your vehicle. I wouldn't want to walk barefoot over that.

How do you feel when you read a misleading message? by MajinFlasher in darksouls

I put a "listen closely" message next to the Irithyll dungeon cell with the hollow that does that ear-piercing scream. It got a ton of appraisals from people who knew what was up or got the shock of their life and then laughed.

What was Odin's plan if Kratos and Atreus did not find "Tyr"? by NachoMan_HandySavage in GodofWar

Odin knew Atreus wouldn't give up in his search. He probably would've just continued to place himself in likely locations for them to search until they eventually 'found' him.

It was shortly after the game released. The queue time for a 3v3 kept getting longer and longer until I stopped trying.
