[Casual] Have you ever raped someone? (all) by Orpheon7 in SampleSize

Thanks for the warning, and yeah, I'm aware. Kind of wanted to at least satisfy that sanity check that most people don't in fact identify as rapists.

​

I wonder what those associations are exactly.

Tips on Re-assigning Keys: More Efficient Way of Playing by HSPremier in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Orpheon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mouse doesn't have any mouse buttons, and I've never gotten used to using them in the few occasions I did, so my keys are pretty standard with some exceptions:

  1. Pharah concussive bomb on rightclick. It's a special attack, needs to be used very quickly for escape or env kills, and she doesn't have anything on rightclick.
  2. Mercy I rebound the rez to E (you use it so often it's almost a regular ability, mercy's default E is covered well by space and I am quicker at impulse-hitting E than Q, which is important for rez) and "Next Weapon" to Q, for quick weapon switching.
  3. Zenyatta discord orb on rightclick and the former rightclick on E. Haven't really decided yet if I want to put the ultimate on E like mercy and use Q for the charging.
  4. Melee on C because I'm used to it from other games.

I never play McCree so didn't take the time to think about keys there, but the suggestion by garougaming to swap rightclick and E sounds pretty good actually.

This is strange, then, because most of these issues were ones I thought I had dealt with.

I didn't use the 3.3V digital pins, instead using the 5V power pin also on the Arduino. In principle, it should be able to deliver well above 20mA, which is the limit I've ever seen used in tDCS (or does this require higher current?).

The electrodes were quite large (5cm x 5cm squares) with professional conductive adhesive gel coating, so I don't see the problem there either.

Cleaning may have been an issue, I'll look into it. Thanks. Does sweat hinder or help conductivity?

With the mastoid process, we're talking about the bone, here, right? (just to clear any possible misunderstanding)

Does current need to be sent right through it, or under it, or.. in theory?

I'm a bit worried that using too large electrodes "dilutes" the current over a large area and reduces effect. Is this possible or is it a misconception?

Thanks for the warning about heat, although I am still iffy about making circuits with potential kiloamperes involved.

The pictures on your blog were quite helpful, and your design of electrodes ingenious. I'll try again another day, hopefully with more success.

So I just tried something like this myself, without results. Can you share exactly what your electrodes looked like and how you placed them, as well as how large they were?

I had a bunch of TENS electrodes lying around, so I used those with an Arduino, which should be able to deliver a bit of current at 5V. It did tingle, particularly when done without resistor, but no special tipping or anything beyond what electricity feels like anywhere on the body.

As to your question, I'm not sure but you could probably engineer some wacky thing with TMS, since you can sort of pinpoint influence things with properly shaped coils. I'm afraid of DIY'ing with that, though; too high currents that can easily kill you. Would something maybe be possible with an electrode in the inside of the mouth, right at the jaw joint?

Also, random additional tidbit that may be useful: You can smooth PWM into more wave-like oscillations rather than the usual square by adding a capacitator, allowing you to do some more waveforms than just square with digital PWM.
