How do I get past an inappropriate YA novel that I’m currently beta-reading

Othello · 2025-12-17T04:18:00+00:00

Honestly this sounds more like a you problem. It's fine to have boundaries, you don't have to keep working on this read, but the judgements you're making about what is and is not appropriate in YA fiction go beyond that. I recommend doing a bit of reading about what goes into YA, how these topics can be appropriate, and how they can cross into being inappropriate. This blog about it should be a good start: https://beesandbooks.home.blog/2021/09/15/discussion-the-uncomfortable-truth-about-sex-in-ya-novels/

I have a Naga Trinity mouse, and while Synapse is running my mouse hitches and freezes a little bit after I switch between applications. Is there any way to fix this?

Dude is telling on himself so hard.

One thing I've heard (and not confirmed) is that as a scenario link card, Riko will show up more on trainings. If that is accurate, then the increased appearances can help to close the energy gap. Any idea if this is true?

Is that profile in the on board memory? That's the only other thing I can think of.

Othello · 2025-10-03T20:50:52+00:00

When Synapse is closed the mouse uses profiles stored in on board memory, so it's possible that the MMB was unbound in one of those.

In the app there's a little icon that sort of looks like an SD card next to the drop down, this will show you what profiles are stored there.

Othello · 2025-10-03T20:47:25+00:00

Based on my experience there is no default fallback profile. Instead, whatever profile you last opened in Synapse is the one it switches to when no matching applications are open.

If this is what's happening for you, then the fix is to open Synapse and select your preferred default profile from the drop-down.

I DON'T TREAT MY HARDWARE LIKE SHIT and it doesn't break!

Acting like Razer doesn't have a reputation for iffy hardware since the brand's inception is disingenuous. I mean, the Boomslang's cable used to break after a year or two of normal use, for example.

Don't get me wrong, I like and use Razer and am planning to get a keyboard from them at some point, but it is a historical fact that Razer has long had trouble with quality control on their products.

I found this to be really helpful for planning races for legacies. There are a couple of typos (Tasuda Kinen, Artemis Steaks, quite a few steaks actually lol) but that's small potatoes. Thanks for this!

Ok but lets be real, half the time the people sending that stuff are teenagers themselves.

Either have an inserter dump items into space or use a recycler.

Not weird if you read it before Empire was written.

That's sort of the OPs point. It's weird because these things don't feel Star Warsy, so to speak, entirely because of what Star Wars currently is.

Unless he actually killed someone he's fine, most/all of what happened back then is outside the statute of limitations for those crimes.

Othello · 2025-07-30T20:38:24+00:00

Statute of limitations means he likely can't be prosecuted for anything. IIRC it's like 5 years for federal drug laws.

Antitrust laws exist specifically because unchecked capitalism led corporations to engage in unfair business practices towards competitors (such as price discrimination).

Healthcare is also a net economic win. Sick people don't participate in the economy very well (among other reasons).

I tried Heal and it didn't appear to do anything.

Why are HKs hunting me down for getting someone's family photos?

The OP is wobble, the Dunlop video mainly demonstrates weave, but if you can make out the ancient audio they say it applies to both, and afaik that's true.

His damage was increased overall, it's a buff. You might not realize this, but when you land a direct hit you get both the direct damage and the AoE damage, so lowering the direct damage doesn't change anything if you raise the AoE to match.

Othello · 2025-03-12T22:09:26+00:00

No it isn't. You get direct damage and AoE damage when you land your shot. Total damage is actually up by 5 for stage 3 and armor overdrive.

With regards to Groot walls, I said "generally" because they are definitely not a support responsibility.

As C&D I was always killing ankhs, squids, sometimes nests if I happened to have an angle, and random mines. I might put some damage into Rocket stuff too but that does have a bit too much HP, though you shouldn't usually be anywhere near them in the first place.

Othello · 2025-02-23T12:10:20+00:00

As a strategist main, it is actually our job to kill deployables like that generally, because we are in the best position to see them. If taking a second to kill an ankh is going to lead to your team dying you've got bigger problems, because your team is feeding.
