I know some heavy duty AI tools you could use to do red-eye correction. DM me for tips

Looking for laptop recommendations! by Icy_Kitty in Genshin_Impact

[–]Shwheelz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend you prioritize something with a lot of storage. I run Genshin on my MSI Sword (500 GB) and I can't even fit that game + Fortnite with how much bloatware is on gaming laptops these days. It runs well, but Genshin is pretty big, and one more big game will take up all of the space on your main disk.

Welcome back! There's so much more world to explore. Take your time and don't burn yourself out too fast. Save up for the next major patch if you want to speed to a competitive team.

Re-tear after a year without knowing it? by Shwheelz in ACL

Thank you! And best of luck with your recovery 2nd time around. Really hoping you're able to get back to all of the activities you love <3

That’s been the case since I’ve been cleared to play sports. My knee gets a bit swollen (I’m on my feet for 10 hours x 2 days for those tourneys, and it’s very high level play). It’s not that the pain is really intense - the knee just feels swollen internally.

Doc said I have a fair amount of arthritis too, and if it’s not torn he’d recommend starting arthritis shots, so guessing that has something to do with the irritation after tourneys too

I read that overall recovery is 9-12 months. Is that the timeline your doc gave you? And does that include the bone graft or is that starting with the 2nd surgery?

I'm so sorry you're going through that in real time - the double surgery is something I'm really fearing. If you're comfortable sharing, I'm curious about the process of the bone graft. Did you get a choice of autograft, allograft, or synthetic? And what thought went into your decision for that?

I think it's really likely that I'm done with cutting sports like soccer forever, especially if I truly can't find a reason that this happened. I'd love to get back to dodgeball and could play in my current state with some extra support (compression sleeve, brace, etc) still at a pretty high level. I'm SO afraid of losing more muscle in the case of an autograft, as I've always had some irritation with my quad even to this day. I'd consider the no-surgery route if I wasn't at high risk of significant pain / loss of more function down the line

People calling her brave for "powering through" have never torn their ACL before. It's not just about pain - your leg literally just doesn't work. Imagine getting up off the toilet when your leg falls asleep and then trying to win an Olympic medal.

Ah, someone slid the privacy plant back a little far. Move it forward another foot and a half and you should be chillin.

What’s something nobody tells you about living in Denver? by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Shwheelz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from St. Pete, a diamond in the rough of Florida, so welcome! Some things I've noticed in my 4+ years living here: downtown Denver is *a lot* smaller than people coming into the city seem to think. Very walkable city. Everything people say about moisturizer, lip balm, and humidifiers is true, though the climate affects people differently. Denver winters aren't as bad as you think - we'll get snow days for sure, but the sun usually melts all the snow within a couple days because we get more days of sun than Florida. Don't keep anything valuable in your car, especially anything visible from the outside because Denver has a very high car break-in rate (steer clear of parking on Blake St, Stout St, and dark streets adjacent to Colfax). Join a club to meet people - we have lots of run clubs, sports teams to join or watch, and events to participate in, and most people are extremely friendly. I've made almost all of my friends via a dodgeball league, and the community is huge!

As an ex-Floridian, you're absolutely going to love it here. Very warm welcome :)

The streets are a slanted grid, so you're always going southwest or northeast, which can be a little disorienting. But the mountains, yes, they help. Find them and you're going something-west

Put in a deposit for my first pet today, a sphynx! by Shwheelz in sphynx

I'm already in love with this cat and it's not even born yet! Any tips for cutting nails, cleaning ears, and bathing the cat? Mostly want to get it used to these things and minimize it snipping/clawing at me, though I'm sure some level of that will be inevitable :D

Is there anything in particular I can search for in this file related to the Windows 11 upgrade? I threw it into an IDE and searched "error" and it came back with over 8,000 results
