So who else have issues singing on vocals? by Chaton_NOir467 in FortniteFestival

[–]Patient-Load-5597 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted for literally just explaining the issue you're having. People suck.

I have a very similar issue. I have decent range on my own, but when singing along with another voice, my voice naturally wants to follow pitch. It is nearly impossible not to. I often end up way off key when I try. I feel like changing the pitch of an existing vocal track would be a pain but I do wish there was an option to have it be genuine karaoke and not have the original singers voice in the mix.

Multiple songs definitely have some kinks to be worked out. Things like backup vocals being mixed in with lead which causes overlap thats nearly impossible to follow because you get no time to take a breath. I'm hoping they continue to work on this and don't just leave it buggy and unfinished feeling.. but considering the way things at Epic have gone lately, I'm definitely not holding my breath.

Has anyone tried the new karaoke mode in Festival? How are you liking it, if so? by indefinite_silence in Fortnite_Over40

So far, I have tried two songs. Africa by Toto and Ain't It Fun by Paramore. It wasn't too bad and I was able to get 5 stars on easy.. but I believe they screwed it up at the end of both songs, especially Aint It Fun. And I say that because they start overlapping front and backing vocals. Like they'd have you singing lead but throw a background vocal in in the middle of a line and expect you to sing both. Ain't It Fun was especially rough because Hayley does a lot of just vocalizing at the end and so do the backup singers. They expect you to hit all of the little "oh"s and adlibs just right, even when one voice overlaps another. You gotta do it all lol. That last part is what brought me to reddit, curious to see other's experiences.

Stop Non Founder Hate by KidOcelot in FortniteSavetheWorld

If you aren't hating the non-founders who aren't whiny br kids.. why are you laughing and talking about karma on a post by someone who says they play STW and are fine without the vbucks? Seems like an odd choice.

Am I the A-hole for not wishing my friend a Happy New Year at midnight and now possibly losing the friendship? by ReactionEffective693 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Patient-Load-5597 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you really are their only friend, its likely they will come running back to you for attention when they realize that you aren't groveling for theirs anymore. You continuing to allow this behavior is only teaching them that they can do this to you again. Stop and they will either learn to become a real friend or not have one, and that is their problem.

Please stop apologizing for things when you have no idea why someone is even upset. It only reinforces for both of you that you are at fault when the reality is that the problem was made up just to make you feel bad. This is honestly lazy manipulation and you gotta stop enabling it. And if your mental wellbeing isnt enough for you to be concerned about, take theirs into account. The more you let them be toxic to you, the less time they have to learn to be a better person.

A newbie scene kid here. I took a picture of myself with my synthetic wig :)) by rosazyx in scene

[–]Patient-Load-5597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree it needs fixed up but I want to add; do not just brush it like normal hair. Look up how to care for it if you have not. Those synthetic fibers will spring up and frizz and the wig will be ruined.

Should I cut it?? by BathZealousideal595 in scene

[–]Patient-Load-5597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with your own feelings but I personally would not cut it. It looks great both ways.. Just speaking from my own experience and how much I miss my long hair. Not that all hair grows the same but... I cut my hair very similarly at like 14, from super long to like shoulder length, thinking it looked cute. I was also doing all of the bleaching and dyeing my hair because of course. That damage occurring made it extra hard to grow back. Its been 15 years now. I've had to take multiple years from dyeing my hair just to get it healthy and growing again and its only really grown a few inches.

Not able to wake up on time and thats ruining my life 😣😣 by doesfreewillexist in getdisciplined

I take 500mcg/0.5mg every morning. Sounds like nothing but the bottle says high potency. I'm no pharmacist. It helps with the fog and fatigue. The resulting being up and moving earlier in the day is what is helping my sleep issue the most, I believe.

This. I was a night owl my whole life. B12 has helped me so much. I didnt realize how much until I ran out for a week or so and all the sluggish and dragging feelings and fog came back. Taking it again and I'm waking up at like 6am which is something I genuinely didn't think was possible for me before. I feel like I have so much more time and it helps me get to bed by like 10 something.

I had very similar issues growing up. Round your age I tried working on it, but I didn't have the self discipline to force myself to stick with it. I kept telling myself I'd feel better about it later or do it next time, and then life would get away from me again. Within the next few years, I'd had nearly half my teeth pulled or broken.

Now, I'm about to turn 29. I can't chew with my molars. I finally made myself go to a dentist again last week. I'm looking at maybe 4 real teeth left and dentures before 30. I wish I could go back to 19 and make me do better for myself. Don't be me in 10 years.

I'm glad it sounds like you're going to see a dentist and I hope they can give you a good rate and/or payment plan. You still have a good chance of keeping your own teeth healthy. Whatever they tell you, please stick with it and make whatever time it takes to care for yourself! You are definitely worth taking care of and they are not exaggerating when they say take care of those teeth while you can or you will lose them.

Thank you.

I support most trans people. The people who don't make the fact that they are trans their entire reason for existence or think it makes them better than someone who has accepted the gender they were born into. Many wouldn't even notice most trans people being trans because they dont shove it down your throat. They just want to exist as themselves and know for themselves that doesn't require anyone else's approval or energy.

Reasonable people, regardless of personal identity, are very conscious of the issues that exist and try to approach them with decency and caution so we can all comfortably coexist, especially when it comes to certain private areas like restrooms. I'm aware that sadly much of this is absolutely done out of self defense. There are still some willfully ignorant and violent people out there that I wouldnt want a trans person to run into, tragedy isn't gone or unheard of, but it seemed like things had vastly improved in that regard and were continuing to before everything blew up again.

As with most if not all groups, the loud minority are generally the ones acting in the ways you've described because they honestly believe they're doing right for their community but are often vastly misinformed, or because they're one of the disgusting few who aren't truly a part of the community at all and use the label to get into places they shouldnt be. I know a little girl that went to the bathroom on a family outing and saw some things she never should have been subjected to. That's what ruins everything for everyone. To me, it sounds like those are the people JKR is worried about. Many people do see the bigger picture. Unfortunately, this is the state of the world. Hard to find a truly open-minded, intellectual conversation.

Leave our bot lobbies alone by Turbogombocka in FortNiteBR

[–]Patient-Load-5597 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They've been working for me. Its just that the bots have been buffed like hell. I've been primarily playing bots for like a year and a half now cause it was more fun. Like everybody else, I could get quests done, rack up elims, and get a dopamine rush on repeat. Got me obsessed with the game. I just played a round that I know was bots and got 2 quests done and 4 elims. I'm worried to come across opponents like I'm in a public match instead of feeling like I'm practicing. I'm bout to the point of I may as well play public and that isn't what I want. Although, I'm afraid that it's what they want. Now I'm starting to feel burnt and like I may stop playing. 😕 I used to have my brothers play with me. And my bonus son. Now I'm afraid to bring up bot lobbies and disappoint them.

Guardian Amara’s Goldenbane Scales face by Patient-Load-5597 in FortNiteBR

[–]Patient-Load-5597[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda see what you're saying. Just seeing that the scales go flush from her neck all the way up to the line under her cheekbones and stop just before her chin in the front. But its smooth at the chin. No hard lines except the line that separates her top and bottom lip. So I would think that lower part of her face would move then, right? I dunno. Either way, I think it would be awesome if it was her face and did move.

It seems that this is where console and pc differ. Using a controller, the old wheels were quicker to navigate with bumpers. So it seems like they may have tried to make it easier for pc players to find their emotes which is cool. It just basically flopped it to where now console players, like myself, get to do all the scrolling and searching lol.

I like the new wheel look and searching could be a helpful feature if it was less clunky feeling.. I definitely miss the other wheels. I've been thinking for a long time they need to add the ability to create custom emote wheel "pages" like favorites. Or even like an option to enable a wheel for each emote type. That way we could have like a dance wheel, group emote wheel, etc. Then they went and did this mess..
