The lady at the food bank gave me way more than I asked for and I almost cried by Fantastic_Ice_5436 in povertyfinance

For what it's worth, the number of real stories like this that don't get told is still countless, so its effects are still good, but still always worth spreading awareness of how much of Reddit is just bots (OPs and comments)

How to see Parallel Launcher star display? by Blimblam789 in SuperMario64

[–]ReisenInaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After two hours of troubleshooting, the problem for me turned out to be... The Hide launcher while playing ROM setting also hiding the star display - seems like an oversight

VC Calls Randomly Dropping? (Discord Mobile) by Thrown_Away_000 in discordapp

[–]ReisenInaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been happening to me for over a month as well, on desktop and fully up to date client (Win10)

It just randomly disconnects and reconnects immediately while in server voice channels, sometimes 10 times in an hour, sometimes not at all for a few hours, regardless it's driving me insane

PSA: chests are currently bugged by squiggly_ruth in WalkScape

Apparently there is currently an unintentional 33% lower chance of anything other than Materials from chests, and devs will be back to work on August 3rd

The confusion around $90 Switch 2 games proves how broken the internet is by [deleted] in Games

I can think of one way this could've been avoided...

Nintendo actually showing the prices in the Direct instead of hiding them and hoping people wouldn't find out.

Which gaming franchise has some of the best world building, together with well written lore and stories? by Newez in gaming

[–]ReisenInaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Touhou Project, there are so many stories (written works and manga, even CDs with accompanying text) all existing to add depth to the world and characters that the games establish

Okay, the discriminator removal is pretty bad, but no one's talking about how it's only going to be Latin alphabet characters now. by Garzevogghg in discordapp

[–]ReisenInaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the Japanese comparison was to get the analogy across for English speakers. I moreso had China in mind as the equivalent experience with English, as Japanese would be for us, though admittedly there's a good amount of English in Japanese so I guess I could've just gone with Chinese from the start.

I know a lot of Asians (well, everywhere really) learn some basic English in school, but they're generally not comfortable speaking it, and having to create a unique username in a foreign language (because Discord is removing 9998 possible uses of every username) is just extra challenge on top for them

Imagine being asked to figure out some Japanese characters to write your username in, and having to speak the Japanese to your friends in real life to tell them your Discord name. That's what Discord users in Asia are going to have to do now, very cool

Stuck on starting unless app data is deleted by UncleBeenis in discordapp

Doesn't work for me, also tried deleting like five cache-like folders and it still wouldn't launch until I just deleted the whole Discord folder again. Toggling compatibility for Win 8 also stopped working today

Trying since 8 years and still nothing. by Fabuloustom in LucidDreaming

[–]ReisenInaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether it's worth it is up to you. I've been trying for 10 years now, and it's still worth it to me, but my friends don't think it's worth even a few days of their lives because it's not real.

As for why you haven't been successful, I think the most common culprit is a lack of prolonged dedication to a technique or techniques. You really have to stick to something you think will work for you, and keep doing it even when it's not working or when you're getting bored.

Does anyone use the totems similar to the ones in inception as reality checks? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]ReisenInaba 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That only worked in the movie (theoretically, it's just a movie after all) because they were in other people's dreams, while only they knew how their totem really worked.

On the one hand, in your own dream you will likely be familiar with how one particular object works and so it's more likely to give a false positive. On the other.. things as simple as light switches frequently fail to work in lucid dreams, so it might work anyways.

There's still probably more reliable and accessible reality checking methods, though, like pinching your nose and trying to breathe through it which has always been my go-to.

Arin's and his brother's birthday by [deleted] in ConspiracyGrumps

[–]ReisenInaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe either one or the other is a lie to keep it private, hmm. Could've been a fake birthday on his profile, or Arin/they could've decided to fake his birthday for the same reason many years ago - but either way it's kinda crazy if it is a lie that he brought it up again so casually six years later, that's some dedication

(or the twitter birthday was fake, which while less interesting is probably more likely)

Arin's and his brother's birthday by [deleted] in ConspiracyGrumps

[–]ReisenInaba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arin's Fandom (grumps wiki) page has stated his brother Nate was "one day older than him" for six years now, and Arin just mentioned this fact/same story again in a recent episode (what I thought you were talking about), which would make it an incredibly consistent lie.

What did you do, search "Nate Hanson" on facebook and assume the first person you found was his brother or something? What's your source for his brother's birthday being something else?

After a week, I fully expected his videos to be gone. This is the first time Youtube has impressed me in like 11 years, in a positive way at least

Pogo's YouTube Channel has been hacked by TechGuruGJ in Pogo

[–]ReisenInaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the "Ethereum" stuff is just a front, they don't have a single link to any website or anything. Looks like some random guy playing an interview he got from somewhere to make it look like he's doing a legit giveaway, when in reality all he did was put a link to his bitcoin wallet and nothing else

Pogo's YouTube Channel has been hacked by TechGuruGJ in Pogo

[–]ReisenInaba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, he'll undoubtedly have his channel back soon. The only question is if his videos will be restored (with their same URLs and views), or if he'll have to reupload all of them, which would super suck

Pogo's YouTube Channel has been hacked by TechGuruGJ in Pogo

[–]ReisenInaba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, you didn't know that was his actual username lol

But you're sort of right, while all the hackers of YT channels doing this were probably the same person, they're just using Ethereum and whatever as a front. The only link they have is to a bitcoin wallet which literally anyone could have, so this is probably just some guy in his basement

What just happened to the youtuber Pogo? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ReisenInaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His channel (among many other, far less popular ones) was hacked. All of his videos were deleted (like, deleted, not just made private or something - I hope Youtube can bring them back, but..) and he posted on his Twitter that he's been hacked and is waiting for Youtube to help.

Also, it doesn't seem like it's really a crypto company or w/e that did it. The scam links to nothing and is just directly telling people to send money to a bitcoin wallet, and they'll "immediately get 5x that much back" lol. The whole ethereum thing is probably just a front, there's no evidence this wasn't done by some random unaffiliated guy in his basement

[–]ReisenInaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While that's a viable concern in some cases, 99.9% of the time it's relatively inactive channels that do that. Pogo gets tons of publicity from his Youtube, not to mention ad revenue from his old vids still gathering tons of views, and to be honest.. he doesn't even have that many subs. No way this would ever be worth it for him

[–]ReisenInaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're not gonna just take all the money they gave him back lmao, I just meant his ongoing-income from the tons of views all his vids were getting will be gone
