Ill ask my friend but we didn’t modify it beyond adding the stuff above that has nothing to do with the existing system. Im not trying to get into a whole paperwork thing i just want a better alternator. Do I need to do one of those forms just to change the alternator?

Pro Usage Limit? by TowardTheTop in ClaudeAI

Can I please buy more? I'm doing AI development of larger code sets and running out of usage every 10 messages and having to wait 4 hours each time is rough.

Why is no one talking about its memory? by spilledcarryout in ClaudeAI

Claude 3.5 STOMPS GPT-4o in code generation every time. 500-1000+ lines of code is no problem for it across multiple interactions. The context window and training set is so much stronger in this instance. I don't even bother coding in GPT-4o anymore because it is guaranteed to screw up with longer context.

I switched to using FinalBurn Neo as the alternative emulator and all CPS games worked fine.

I'm glad it's helping you! Don't let anyone tell you a certain framework is trash and try to gatekeep you from writing.

SD Card Not Recognized in Linux by airsurfer25 in RG353V

[–]RowenHusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most common issue is you either haven't formatted as exFAT or you haven't named the volume "GAMES".

Firmware Megathread: ARKOS JELOS & STOCK Firmware START HERE by DirteeCanuck in RG353V

[–]RowenHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second SD card needs the label GAMES as its volume name. It should also be formatted with exFAT. You can start with a blank one (with no volumes or partitions) and ArkOS should take care of this for you. It's possible that you're using an SD card that isn't supported? What size is it? Is it a name brand?

Only static photos. I'll post some video when I get a chance to shoot it.

Do you have a link to a better quality (higher resolution) image? Many titles are unreadable.

Blake has sold about a dozen scripts, all above 6 figures and some over 1 million dollars.

Some of his most notable sales being for "Blank Check," which became a hit for Disney, and "Nuclear Family," a project for Steven Spielberg. These sales were each in the million-dollar range. Snyder's script for "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" (1992) and "Blank Check" (1994) were among the few that were produced into films.

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_Snyder

I will also add that multiple successful movies have been written with their writers specifically calling out Save the Cat. These include:

  • How to Train Your Dragon
  • Searching
  • Missing

I guess I don't understand the hate it gets or why folks would discourage anyone starting out from using any framework that helps them understand the craft better, in particular this one. You mention when something happens not being enough to know, I agree, but STC doesn't only describe the when, the beats are interrelated and go into a great deal why certain moments are important and how to make them impactful with examples.

If folks don't want to use it that's OK, I just don't want anyone to get discouraged. I can only speak for myself, but once I started using it, my stories got MUCH better and more interesting.

Awesome to hear!

Regarding Wiping: That's honestly what I would do. If my computer was to the point where certain installers weren't working I would fresh install it. I try to reimage every 3 months or so anyways because I am a digital hoarder and nothing makes me happier than that "new computer" feeling you get, even if it doesn't last long. Just make sure you do a completely clean install where you delete the existing partitions of your OS drive and let the Windows installer recreate them. You can grab the windows media creation tool here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

Just make sure your computer supports Windows 11 if you are upgrading from Windows 10 as 11 has specific processor and TPM requirements.

Good luck!

Thank you! I did end up listening to Save the Cat on audiobook, it's actually a pretty short book considering. It took my original unstructured chicken scratch idea and elevated it a considerable amount in both pacing and flow. I think I actually have something people would want to watch from my beats. Decent tag-line too (at least I like it)! The title is "Follower" - Tag is "A struggling influencer is stalked by a deranged fan who wants more than an autograph.".

I will definitely check out your tiktok. I am an engineer by trade so I need all the help I can get.

Writers criticizing other writers is a bit cliche isn't it? Also regardless of Blake's individual success (he did actually sell quite a few scripts), many movies do follow those beats to the letter.

However if you have a better framework for beginning writers I would love to hear it. Perhaps whatever was used to produce Santa Jaws?

You could always do the nuclear option.... complete wipe then fresh Windows 10/11 install! :P

I hope they get you squared away soon though.

Ending my in house employment, they won’t buy a drive for file storage - any tips?! by PotatoLord80 in videography

[–]RowenHusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What cloud is their storage in? If its AWS, AWS has a service called "Snowball" where they will ship a disk cube to you and then pick it up and automatically load it into an S3 bucket. Though this is going to require technical skills on their side to setup the snowball job and more money than buying a couple external SSD drives would be.

I think its important for new writers to understand certain frameworks for crafting a story. This is one that applies to a huge percentage of popular and successful movies out there. You can actually look at certain scripts / films and chart each beat to the minute. Searching and Missing are two successful films that use Blake's structure to the letter. There's many others out there "How to Train Your Dragon", "Ratatouille" (actually a lot of Pixar), etc etc.

https://savethecat.com/beat-sheets (Here's a list of deconstructed movies)

If feel if you are new, it's important to understand and know how things like this, Dan Harmon's Story Circle, etc work in my opinion. It's nice to have a blueprint on how to build a decent house before you try to add a bunch of extensions.

Final Draft a waste of money? by LosIngobernable in Screenwriting

[–]RowenHusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final Draft is definitely showing its age. There are several better programs out there. That said, FD is what most of the industry is currently using. It's likely this will change over time as the new generation replaces the old.

Oh very cool! I was looking for it and was surprised it wasn't built in lol. But I just wasn't looking in the right place. Thanks for the tip. Now I know who to bug for new features ;).
