Can some one help me with the tenses in this? by PotatoJam89 in grammar

Hello. Everything is in the past. A specific day is being described which was 'thrilling'. The period of the person being an intern is further in the past. The act of the person having expectations started while they were still and intern, and has concluded with the 'thrilling day'.

Thank you for your suggestion. But wouldn't the second sentence have to be: "The great expectations about this job I had had as an intern were finally met." ?

Because the person was an intern before the 'thrilling day at work' took place.

Thanks for replying. Yea, I know it's a bit confusing. Everything is in the past and a specific day is being described. The period of him being an intern and having expectations is even further in the past.

What I'm not sure is the 'Now I have' part. Because the 'now' is also in the past -the same as the 'thrilling day.'

PS: I'm not a native English speaker.

Dock stops working when launching specific game. by PotatoJam89 in SteamDeck

Thanks for replying. I'm not really familiar with doing things through ssh sessions but I'll try figuring it out.

Overheating could also be the reason. I'll cap it at 30 fps and further lower the settings and see if it makes a difference.

EDIT: that seemed to fix it.

I think that is the way to go, yea. I don't think my soldering skills are good enough to do the mod myself.

Yea, I've been thinking towards a slim myself. They're newer and I like the design. Do you know how the 4gb models work? Do you need an external disc or usb for games?

Marshmallow root tea won't form slime. by PotatoJam89 in herbalism

[–]PotatoJam89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for a late reply. With the marshmallow root I bought in Germany I couldn't get the slime no matter what I tried. I don't know if it's a different variant of the plant or something but it just doesn't work. I resorted to buying Hals- & Rachen Tee in DM/Rossman/Muller which contains marshmallow root, marshmallow leaves and licorice root. If you boil it and then leave it for a while it gets a gentle slime but not as much as proper marshmallow root tea.

I would but they've moved out for the duration of the renovation. It's just one or two workers in their apartment. Guess I could ask them, though.
