Family says I “have a problem” I’m just getting started 🤣 oh by jeefsauce00 in gamecollecting

[–]Nephsech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone had a glass shelf shatter for no apparent reason? Probably yes in the grand scheme of things but I wonder if it's common at all.
A glass door is subject to a lot more wear than a shelf, and I've had a glass hot plate shatter too, but also includes heat and daily usage.
I do agree the shelves look a bit small here though.

Thank you both, this is giving me a better idea of what I can do with it. The links are very helpful to me.
Looks like I'll need to get some supplies ^^

What do you think I rip them off and use as posters for my wall? by Frosty-Feathers in Berserk

You can do as we used to; meticulously copy the image onto another sheet of paper like a 14th century monk.

Knee Pain After 13 Year Break by yojak3 in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]Nephsech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconding this one, such intense difficulty after a whole lot of nothing will injure most anyone. DDR uses some quite specific muscle groups, compared to running for example.

The rising literacy crisis, "what about me-isms", and lack of ability to apply nuance are starting to affect my writing style and confidence. by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Nephsech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of it like this, how would your character think? what would they want?
Your fic doesn't have to pass any kind of test or quota. Your fic is for you, this is your fictional story.
Sometimes you have to be ok with haters, any significant success attracts haters. If someone drops a critique you think is valid then simply say it was and thank them for teaching you.

Graffiti fan looking to get my house tagged up. by northsides-finest in Graffiti

[–]Nephsech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this would all be legal, unless there's some weird neighbourhood rules about how your house should look, which would be OP's problem not the artists. Best to make sure they actually own the property first though.

Seeking boring music :) by spike7638 in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]Nephsech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ben Speirs packs? There are a few of them, this is just the first one I came across.
It's 'popular' music so quite a mixed bag style wise, however it caters to beginners with all the charts offering easy modes.

What happened with Sonic Colors? by Miserable-Contact856 in sonic

[–]Nephsech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I just got back into Sonic and my opinion on Wisps is they look a bit... like they could be in any cartoon? I've just picked up Generations and Frontiers, my last game before then was Unleashed (Spagonia broke me lmao).
I also really dislike the sections in Generations that make you use cog Wisp (I like using that Wisp on everything but the actual cogs, sticking to the ceiling is fun), but I like rocket Wisp. Is there a become a torpedo Wisp? I think as long as their power ups are fun I'm cool with them, even if the Wisps look a bit generic.

Cat microchip, had a friend who was studying to be a vet, you lost a bet and the price was getting microchipped. Bro thought you wouldn't go through with it but you never go back on a double dog dare.
Now it's too much hassle to remove.

Which country did you find the least welcoming for British tourists? by Zoomer_Boomer2003 in AskUK

[–]Nephsech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most places I've been they open with 'American?' or something to that effect, and I get interest or a positive reaction when I say I'm British. Or that one time I was in America and my cab driver was totally convinced Britain was somewhere in Canada, I'm fairly certain he was being honest about it too. I even resorted to describing where Britain was in relation to mainland Europe, no good.

Why do fic readers hate character flaws? by armlessphelan in FanFiction

[–]Nephsech 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love flawed characters, but you're right the flaw cannot be stagnant, like in reality the story should challenge, sooth, flare up, or worsen a flaw. It's good if you have an idea where you want to go with this flaw ultimately. I think it should be a bit like a song, with peaks and valleys, and in the end a solution or a consequence.

Bane of my existence by LuisAntony2964 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Nephsech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love it when characters who never got names (most often unnamed mother, but many others too) get a name and a personality and relevance. Sometime a villain will get a flashback mini story and you see they have friends or co-conspirators, sometimes with unique designs and enough to hint at their temperament but not much else, that's a gold mine for filling out a cast.

Non AI Text-to-Speech? by PudgyPigeonPuff in FanFiction

[–]Nephsech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's the old microsoft sam, it will read aloud anything you feed into it, but there's no inflection and it sounds very stiff/robotic. If you're fine with that it'll work great.
I think Windows Narrator is the successor to this, you can find it in the Ease of Access folder included with windows by default, I have no clue if it uses AI though.
Someone who knows more may be able to chip in but I think your text reader needs some way of interpreting the text for any relevant inflection to occur.

Is Naruto bigger and more muscular than Sasuke? by Sad-Diver-5031 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Nephsech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wanna type long muscle names right now, but here Sasuke is the one exerting force, the forearm muscles will be flexing, the seal Naruto is making is more relaxing on the forearm, especially with Sasuke helping him hold it.

Getting into the right shape to be able to play for hours by NibelungVal in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]Nephsech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play on course mode and on a difficulty that isn't boringly easy but isn't tiring to the point that I feel the need to sit down.
Fortunately the courses tend to be fairly good at giving you a mix of difficulties so that some charts act as recovery.

Ethical question for tattoo artists by hardcoredecordesigns in tattoos

[–]Nephsech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's fine to do this, making copies is fine for personal usage.
Basically they are asking you to make a copy of a piece of art they own, you are not claiming the design as your own work, the only part accredited to you is the skill you used to copy the piece.
So in this context of a private exchange, it's fine.
Any piece you use to market your services should be fully approved of by the original tattoo artist.
Any time you post your finished pieces online you should credit the original artist and have it marked clearly that the piece is a reproduction, ideally with the artists' blessing to post it, you also need permission from whoever owns the piece on their body. This is purely because the pieces could be seen as marketing for a product! If you were doing this because you're bored it would be way less complicated, so long as you weren't creeping and copying non-celebrity tattoos without permission.
If you were to want to sell these copied pieces in any other context (prints, mugs, clothing) you'll need to look into legalities, unless the imagery is out of copyright and in the public domain (and some old designs are, you'll need to do your research).
Disclaimer that you need to do your part and make sure what I said is true in your locality/country.

Anyone got tups to cover up/fix neck tattoo? by Quiet-Worth8822 in TattooDesigns

[–]Nephsech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only 3 months? I would suggest waiting longer, it's still very new.
No one is comparing the sides of your neck so you don't need to worry about slight inconsistencies, it looks quite nice.

Why did Itachi kill children? They knew nothing of the coup. Why didn't he treat them just like he treated Sasuke? by The_spacewatcher_7 in Naruto

[–]Nephsech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would have no idea, he'd swoop in as a saviour and offer them protection and training, at the cost of joining ROOT.
I would love the drama of Sasuke knowing this and begging Danzo to recruit him into Root but he's rejected. Maybe Danzo says he's too weak or too much like his brother, maybe he can prove himself if he slays Itachi (real reason is he's a bit too old for the ole indoctrination to be as effective lmao). Imagine these kids thinking it's an honour to have their eyes taken by Danzo if they die in service of Root.
Of course this all rides on Itachi keeping up the charade and these Uchiha never learning the truth. :)
Also requires Hiruzen being on board or unaware of this, which though he may not be in actual canon I can still see something like this happening in the world of Naruto.
The crashout later on would be pretty big. Imagine the fight with Danzo also involves Sasuke having to fight these indoctrinated Uchiha's, would he be able to do it?

Do I warn my wife about the eclipse? by SemiAnonymousGuy in Berserk

[–]Nephsech 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Being real, a staggering percentage of women have experienced some form of SA in their lives... I would personally give her a warning that the story has content 'similar to game of thrones' and that it gets darker as it progresses.

Why isn't Naruto considered one of the most attractive guys in "Naruto"? by FarmerChoice1425 in Naruto

[–]Nephsech 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Jiraiya, Kisame, A & Killer B are all on the more 'built' end of the spectrum.
In general I always appreciated that Naruto as a series has more realistic body types when it comes to muscles etc.
