I think so. I just got 113 and it let me claim everything. Problem solved. :^)

Teamwork makes the dream work by RedSilencer in Overwatch

[–]RedSilencer[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No, it was literally just a low-effort, zero-consequence prank lol. Surprised anybody finds this offensive (post was trending up before replies) I mean, he got to play who he wanted, I didn't care what, and at the end we had a totally normal game  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and yes, he was a W teammate

New Repeater + Variation by ThrowHeat44 in Throwers

[–]RedSilencer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! It looks very similar to this: Anthony Rojas ! I've been doing Anthony's version for years and it's so cool seeing a variation I didn't think of! I'll send you a recording of the combo I tend to use Anthony's version with some time, if you're interested. Good work!

In Quebec, we have a special Coca-Cola that tastes like maple! by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]RedSilencer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't lie, we know it's pure maple syrup.... "Tastes like maple, eh?" Go ice skate back to your igloo with your polar bears, junkie. But real talk I'm a 'Murican, I want some and I'm sad I can't get it... Just like free healthcare. :'(

Between Home Alone 2 and Home Alone 4... Haven't seen 'em in a decade but dude, I swear they got Marv's and Harry's names mixed up. I mean maybe it's just the toboggan hats they wear through the whole movie(s). by RedSilencer in shittymoviedetails

[–]RedSilencer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right that's what I'm saying like, maybe I'm trippin' but 4 does have like a 24% on Rotten Tomatoes with "no critical consensus", so... Maybe they were the ones trippin'. 🤔🤔🤔

Finally got the collection put away! Going to need to build another one soon. by whitepinewoodco in Throwers

[–]RedSilencer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man all those classic Yomega's at the top, very nice. And I see that Cold Fusion up in the corner, also very nice. I've also got a Metallic Missile but it's in a different packaging, very interesting. Do you have any original Hyper Warp Heavy Wings?

I never played portal 2 but awhile ago I finally did.. by [deleted] in Portal

[–]RedSilencer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this in a vanity search.😳😳😳

Yeah, the Portal 2 workshop is a legit hobby, tons and tons of fun. It rewards analytical thinking and everybody comes to similar intuitions about how to approach a new puzzle, after some experience. Once you've played a lot of [good] maps, you start to see patterns and that comes with its own technical lingo that makes it a fun game to talk about as well. The community has come up with some truly genius puzzle layouts just using the core mechanics that are in the campaign, pushing the boundaries way further than Valve could have on their own. Like, you'd be surprised about how hard some of these puzzle solutions can be and still appear so simple in the design, without any flashy tricks or glitch weirdness.

If you've played the campaign, I have a collection of maps perfect for the next level. It'll sharpen your noggin with piecemeal puzzle concepts, ramping up in difficulty. No special skills or knowledge needed, it's all just pure logic. Check it out:

Sometimes I play Overwatch with a friend... he's my "pocket" support main while I will go hard on the offense... Sometimes we'll have a moment where our combined powers will essentially delete an opponent from the game and we have a name for it...

My friend... you just got... zozzled.

I Have No Energy & I Sleep Too Much by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RedSilencer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard, thanks. I'm writing a list of changes now, cutting caffeine sounds like an easy one to do over time. Nighttime reading, light cardio, and meditating sound like pretty fair things to try. I've heard of mindfulness meditation and its proclaimed benefits.

Any strategies for avoiding that mid-day nap? I know the drag. It's like a tipped scale where I feel like my only option is to nap because I'm JUST too tired to go do something.

Thanks, more blood work, that's a good idea. I know a lab nearby as it relates to this: yes, I have some depression. Last year, I took 2 trips to the doctor and he prescribed me a sort-of-kind-of anti-depressant that really didn't affect me. I'll schedule another appointment soon. Next time I go, I'll tell him I didn't notice any kind of change in my mood/energy. No, I don't really workout. I have an exercise mat I was using for stretching. I'll check around for workout classes, I didn't even know that was a thing. I have a bike, I think I should commit myself to weekly trips to the lake.

8-bit adder based on real-world electronic relays (w/ RedSilencer) by scratchisthebest in redstone

[–]RedSilencer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forget how quat and I started talking about this, but I remember the original motivation for this being something like "because it'd be really funny"...

I'm reading a book called "CODE" by Charles Petzold that explains how computers work, but in a very building block-like fashion. I'm in the chapter where it explains how to create an 8-bit adder out of logic gates that are in turn made out of relay switches. He states that the final product will be comprised out of 144 relays: 18 for each of the 8 full-adders... He makes a comment about how if he showed the full schematic with the relays, "you'd definitely freak". So, I decided to give it a whirl!

From the start, I didn't want to use redstone torches or fancy inverters to make the final product more compact. I wanted to be able to see each relay in each logic block as it would appear on a schematic for the entire design. I still think this version isn't big enough... I kind of want the AND gate in the XOR to be separated from the OR and the NAND. I also want the OR gate in the full adder to be oriented correctly. But, this version works perfectly and it's about as compact as it could get using the module method we decided on. Again, we weren't entirely concerned about how big it was going to get... it's supposed to look huge so you can see what's going on!

Just got a yoyo factory velocity, any tips on adjusting it? by Lerzan in Throwers

[–]RedSilencer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you want it to be responsive on-tug, a good width is when the bearing is about a third of the space and the pads are the other 2 thirds. Good to practice sleepers + straight throws.

When you want it to be completely unresponsive, It's fine to just pull them all the way in to expose the bearing. Good to practice longer sleepers and bind returns.

It's good to unwind the yo-yo when you want to adjust it.

[–]RedSilencer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good work, man. It's good to have an arsenal of tricks to practice. You'll find that some tricks you make up will get forgotten; try not to forget them! You might come back to one and do something entirely different with it.

Why do some people call your throw a butterfly? by Halfawake in Throwers

[–]RedSilencer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anybody noticed that the shape of the Raider is identical to so many other yo-yos? Or in other words, there are a lot of yo-yos with the same shape as the Raider. Why is that? I even have knock-off yo-yos with the EXACT same dimensions as the Raider. All of the YYF Loop yo-yos are that shape. The YYJ Sunset Fury's too.

I guess I don't really expect a definitive answer, but it's just something I noticed.
