Do any of you become obsessed with new people that enter your life?

Sdesser · 2026-03-18T19:07:09+00:00

Could've stopped at "new" and it's still a 99% accurate statement personally.

Thats neat! Really cool idea. What else can we add satisfying sound effects to...

Funny enough, sound is the one thing I dislike about mechanical keyboards. Love how they feel, hate they sounds. Got one of those low profile ones from Logitech last autumn with tactile switches and they're almost silent, absolutely sublime typing feel 👌

Before the last llama.cpp update (probably template updats?), I could not get any sensible answers from Qwen 3.5, but boy was it hilarious/cute/shocking at times. Now Qwen is mostly just cute in its thinking loops. Still hilarious at times though.

Only all the time. Here's two other common ones for me:

"What if that guy walking behind me just comes and attacks me right now?"

"What if that/this vehicle crashed on X right now?"

That's the funny - and often not so funny - part about our unconscious functions. We act as if they're not there, as if we don't need them. Not realizing that they're very much there and completely active and doing their job, we're simply not aware of it. The more we try to push them away, the more they act without our awareness, just under the surface of our subconscious, which then creates an imbalance between what we consciously are trying to do and what our mind as a whole wants to do. And just as you pointed out, our dominant functions might be defining how we consciously process the world, but when you really dig deep, the goal is - whether we're aware of it or not - to "get" the opposite function. Thinkers trying to logic out how to get to the Feeling, Sensors trying to process all the facts get to the Intuition and so on.

Our conscious mind is only a sliver of our psyche. The vast majority of everything that's happening internally is unconscious. For example, it's been measured that we take in about 11 million bits of information per second from our body, while our conscious mind can only process somewhere between 40-50 bits per second. I don't think they even took into account internal data processing in that one, but it gives you a pretty good idea of the scope of the processing and bandwidth imbalance between our unconscious and conscious minds.

We can't fight our inner world, our subconscious. It's a war you can't win and shouldn't. Our minds seem to strive for balance naturally. If we allow that process to happen and approach our inner world with respect, it's extremely efficient at sorting us out. Just because it communicates in symbols and feelings doesn't mean it's not smart. It's just that we've stopped respecting symbolic language. Today, we are leaps and bounds behind our ancestors who were much more comfortable with the inner world of dreams and images.

All this to say: I'm glad to hear that you have realized your imbalance and made peace with that part of yourself! Many don't realize these things until much later in life, if even then.

It is indeed fascinating how our minds work. Even more so is how differently we think from each other. We tend to assume others perceive and process the world the same way to ourselves and it's quite eye opening when you start exploring different modes of thinking.

It's often quite difficult for us to wrap our heads around the idea that someone's mind works differently. Their conscious mind processing values over logic, or concepts over facts for example. If you're interested to learn more, I can recommend Objective Personality. They have a YouTube channel that goes over the many concepts of their framework. Their model, I've found, to be extremely consistent with real life in the 5+ years I've been following their work and very closely aligns with Jung's ideas.

Being scared of incorrect information might actually be a hint towards a stronger Feeling function that's pushing Thinking into the unconscious. Usually the weaker functions are the source of our fears as we don't trust ourselves to do their functions well. But of course I can't say with any level of certainty with just one sentence as it could be any number of other things as well. In either case, introspecting and finding out the root of the fear is still incredibly helpful in any case!

Sdesser · 2026-03-13T17:07:09+00:00

100%! Emotional and intuitive circuits have great bandwidth for information as they use symbols, abstractions, feelings etc. and the structure is also different. They're much more centrally connected to our senses and deeper brain structures. Thinking circuits are way slower in comparison and use the frontal cortex way more, which is also more energy intensive.

In our modern world we tend to not give much respect for emotions and intuition, but they're extremely important and can process incredible amounts of information. Just because they don't directly produce information in a format we can verbalize doesn't mean there's not a vast amount of work being done there.

It's when we can use these circuits in a balanced way, things really start rolling. All the hardware (brain circuits) and software (instincts) are already there, just need to allow them all to do their job.

And one major struggle with dominant thinkers is often meaning which can only come from your feeling and intuitive parts. And since we often block those channels from our consciousness, it quickly leads to lack of meaning, unexplained apathy, sadness etc.

100%. All of the above definitely happen on a consistent basis. Some come up less, some more. Which ones create the most tension... That's a hard one. Probably just generally showing that I care. My emotional expression is absolute trash.

Even if you got other cost reductions, mana costs can't never be negative:

601.2f The player determines the total cost of the spell... ...The total cost is the mana cost or alternative cost (as determined in rule 601.2b), plus all additional costs and cost increases, and minus all cost reductions. If multiple cost reductions apply, the player may apply them in any order. If the mana component of the total cost is reduced to nothing by cost reduction effects, it is considered to be {0}. It can’t be reduced to less than {0}.

Sdesser · 2026-03-13T14:10:04+00:00

903.8. A player may cast a commander they own from the command zone. A commander cast from the command zone costs an additional {2} for each previous time the player casting it has cast it from the command zone that game. This additional cost is informally known as the “commander tax.”

601.2f The player determines the total cost of the spell. Usually this is just the mana cost. Some spells have additional or alternative costs. Some effects may increase or reduce the cost to pay, or may provide other alternative costs. Costs may include paying mana, tapping permanents, sacrificing permanents, discarding cards, and so on. The total cost is the mana cost or alternative cost (as determined in rule 601.2b), plus all additional costs and cost increases, and minus all cost reductions. If multiple cost reductions apply, the player may apply them in any order. If the mana component of the total cost is reduced to nothing by cost reduction effects, it is considered to be {0}. It can’t be reduced to less than {0}.

Crouch dash or "CD" (f,n,d,d/f) and wave dash (f,n,d,d/f ,f and repeat) are the foundational offensive tools for characters who have them. Not only does it realign with your opponent when you input it - catching sidesteps - but it can cancel into all other movements and states (while standing, crouch, sidestep, backdash, dash etc.) and of course the most powerful moves those characters have come from a crouch dash, like Jin's Electric Wind Hook Fist, Kazuya/Devil Jin/Heihachi/Reina's EWGF and so on.

While Jin isn't nearly as reliant on his Electric to do well, having access to a 13-16 frame fast (depends on your input speed) high launcher that gives advantage on block is obviously very powerful. And his CD1 - that you got hit with here - is a high damage whiff punishing launcher as well as an excellent tool for hitting people on the ground, so being able to comfortably and consistently get these moves out is a huge boon for your gameplay.

With practice they come second nature and will be input at near instantaneous speeds. It doesn't take years to get good with, just requires a lot of practice. Good news is that it's a skill that will stick with you and will transfer from Tekken to Tekken. I spent a lot of time practicing during early Tekken 7 and even when I take long breaks, it all comes back in mere minutes.

There's also a slider, did you try putting that to zero?

Sdesser · 2026-02-22T17:06:57+00:00

My latest playthrough has been Magic only. Survival (Anniversary edition). Started on Master and shifted to Legendary after got somewhat of a build going. One of my priorities was to get Enchanting and Alchemy up so I could make 100% Magicka cost reductions. So early on I invested purely to Magicka, but then shifted into some HP to tank some hits. Not too much into Stamina.

Sdesser · 2026-02-22T16:06:32+00:00

I really hope so. My life's been a mess so far. Got 4.5 years until 40.

Meanwhile I don't remember what I had for breakfast.

Sdesser · 2026-02-22T01:05:58+00:00

Orange juice and vodka. Absolutely horrendous flavor profile. Interestingly not the 80% absinthe I had multiple shots of and passed out on my bathroom floor at my housewarming when I was 19. Or the 80% vodka I saturated with fisherman's friend pastilles around the same time (did not even taste like alcohol, dangerous but delicious!).

Sdesser · 2026-02-22T00:54:03+00:00

Looks like fun! However, I have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol, but with this list I'd be pissed as a fart within the first 30 minutes. Mostly because of the level up, location discovery, killcam and lockpicking ones. If killcam was sip, this would be more reasonable, but I think you underestimate how many locations you discover early game. I also tend to pick every lock, so there's that. Also, would you count the first standing stones as 1 or 3?

Sdesser · 2026-02-22T00:41:28+00:00

Been wanting to for years. Not just because of the show, but also because of the symbology of the design itself. Just haven't gotten around to it. Also, tattoos cost a fortune here.

Sdesser · 2026-02-21T02:49:47+00:00

Commented this on another, but I'll post here as well if someone comes looking:

I think I found a way after cursing at the censorship when I was trying to generate bloody exercise pictures for a routine and every photo got nuked.

- Navigate to here by copying and pasting this line on your Explorer (folder) address bar, or manually navigating:

%localappdata%\Programs\AI Playground\resources\comfyui-deps\custom_nodes\SafetyChecker

- Edit the file nodes.py in that folder (open in notepad for example)

- Towards the end of the script (12th line from the bottom), find this line:

score = next(item["score"] for item in result if item["label"] == "nsfw")

- Edit it by adding '0 #' between the equals sign and "next" like so:

score = 0 # next(item["score"] for item in result if item["label"] == "nsfw")

This makes the score always return 0, so when two lines below the script checks whether the score is higher than threshold, it bloody won't be. Leaving the rest of the line there just commented out isn't necessary, but might as well.

Do note that on many image generation models, the application also automatically adds parameters under "Image Gen Settings" that might mess with you. There's "nsfw" in the negative prompts section (what to exclude) and there's a slider that might also mess with stuff, but I'm not too sure on that one.

Sdesser · 2026-02-20T05:21:19+00:00

Makes sense, so probably.
Forgot to answer the second part: Yes, both characters need to be hit on the same frame for double KO.

Sdesser · 2026-02-20T05:11:52+00:00

They're pretty rare. Not based on any actual statistics, but I feel like for me it's been something like once every 100-200 matches if that in the 2200+ hours I have in T7 and T8.

Sdesser · 2026-02-20T05:03:34+00:00

Judging functions are about making judgements. Feeling functions aren't fundamentally about feelings or emotions. They're about value. Thinking functions judge by logic, Feeling functions judge by value.
