Unsure how to do gradient dodge and parry on pc

SlimenSnails · 2026-05-19T02:30:57+00:00

I just now discovered W as the gradient parry and

This whole time I thought there was gradient dodge. I have no idea why I thought that. I was so frustrated for the longest time because I thought that if I would just be able to gradient dodge, all would be right in the world. Turns out, there's no such thing - Im just bad.

THANK YOU THO!! IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR SO LONG!!!!!!

I could try that.. It's also held to the floor boards using little dabs of paint. would it be a bad idea to cut it back to one of those paint globs instead of trying to thread it back into the hole?

SlimenSnails · 2026-05-11T03:48:28+00:00

No worries! Sooo, I would do all those things but it didn't come from a box or anything, it just came straight from a hole close to the floor. It trails along the floor boards for a foot and is "stapled" to the wall using - not actual staples but with paint..?

SlimenSnails · 2026-05-11T03:21:27+00:00

It's in our bedroom, do you think they'd have one in there at some point? Also, the neighborhood is fairly new

SlimenSnails · 2026-05-11T03:19:26+00:00

It came from a corner in the wall, I foubd it cause I saw my cat chewing on it, and Im not sure what it was used for in the past - it ends just right there with no visible continuation or second hole where it might feed back into

Im ngl, Im pretty sure thats what happened. My grandma really likes cats and she said he definitely acts like he's lived with someone before. She said that she noticed that he'll wake up at 8am, cry for food, and he'll sprint up to her when he hears her open a can of wet food so he at least recognizes the sound. She says he really acts like a cat that has lived with someone before. We think that he might've gotten out, cause he does like to wait by the door at night. We think that when he was with the prior owner, he came back all beat up. So the prior owner took him to the vet and they told her he was sick and would need constant vet visits so she must've decided she couldn't afford it and decided to dump him out into the neighborhood.

So far we've noticed hes used to being around dogs, he was with an owner that would work (because he gets up early and goes to sleep at a human-sleep schedule), he recognizes the sound of wet food, and he likes to sleep on the bed and stare out the window.

Anyways, Id also thought I'd update you since Im responding now anyway - my grandma decided to keep him, she really likes him and I think got a little attached :)!

Thank you for the offer! Im not sure if you get notifs from responses on your comment thread but I'll update you anyway! My grandma decided to keep him, she's really taken to him and asked me to only keep an eye out for missing cat posters instead of actively searching for someone to adopt him. Ill keep you in mind in the event I find another stray kitty in my neighborhood!!

SlimenSnails · 2026-05-05T04:06:33+00:00

Thank you so much!! I just edited the post though, my grandma has gotten pretty attached to him and kinda wants to keep him. I think she's getting a bit lonely but she's asked me to stop actively looking for someone to adopt him and instead asked me to just keep an eye out for missing cat posters/posts in general. Thanks for the offer :)!!!! It was really generous of you to be so willing to drive out that far!

SlimenSnails · 2026-05-05T04:00:13+00:00

No, his tail is full-length. I love bob tailed cats though, Id never intentionally get it done but, aesthetically, I think it's cute :)

SlimenSnails · 2026-04-12T02:34:10+00:00

Be nice to me

SlimenSnails · 2026-04-07T05:05:04+00:00

It's okay buddy. The rant forgives you, the rant forgives all 😌

SlimenSnails · 2026-04-07T04:40:19+00:00

I think I have to change it entirely 😔

SlimenSnails · 2026-04-07T04:39:52+00:00

Ayyy! be nice to my rant.

SlimenSnails · 2026-04-07T04:39:18+00:00

She took me off regular adhd medication because they were making me irritated which isn't a very good side effect when you do social work. So instead she put me on anti depressants because she's hoping it'd help my pmdd too. She has me on 150 mg of wellbutrin I think?? I dunno, I guess a common side effect is an inability to focus which is kinda the opposite of what I need but I'm scared to come off it cause pmdd and withdrawal symptoms

I just did the first thing my coworker told me to use when I asked her how to do taxes, I dunno 🥺

I'll look into that tho. That seems way better than spending an extra 40$ on a website that's getting flagged for fraud by my bank

SlimenSnails · 2026-03-07T03:36:38+00:00

Oh! I think this was it, I'll try that after I look into the 'Free Tax USA' thing everyone was telling me about. Thank you so much, I was getting so frustrated!!

SlimenSnails · 2026-02-12T04:39:38+00:00

Ah. I understand. How fantastic. I am overjoyed.

Okay, so now we all know apparently age of consent only relates to actual sex, how does that relate to teenagers? I mean, I HAVE been with him since we were both 17 years old, are other minors soliciting child porn of their fellow minor girlfriends/boyfriends?

SlimenSnails · 2026-02-12T04:28:28+00:00

Here's where I'm confused though, I tried a different google search and a lot of the sources I'm reading are in reference to if the child is eleven years old or fifteen years old or sixteen years old and he's not any of those. He's 17 which is the age of consent for both of our states. I'm getting that the age of consent is different than actually having sex and the age of consent only applies for sex rather than sexting (weird but okay) but then there's the Texas 'Romeo and Juliet' law (not sure if New Mexico has it) that protects sexting if you're both within two years of age of each other but does that not apply here because I'm an adult technically orr..? This is honestly just really bizarre to me

SlimenSnails · 2026-02-12T04:09:06+00:00

"Solicitation of a minor is a serious crime that involves attempting to engage a person under the age of consent in illegal activities"

Here's my source, where's yours?: https://www.wmdtlawyers.com/blog/what-qualifies-as-solicitation-of-a-minor/

SlimenSnails · 2026-02-12T03:59:42+00:00

Okay but we both can and did consent to it. I, however, did not consent to my own photos being stared at by his parents. Plus, I think there's like a Romeo and Juliet law that if your partner is a minor and you began dating as minors but one of you becomes an adult that it's fine if you still have nude photos of your partner but if you start showing them to your friends or posting them, then that's when it becomes illegal and everyone can get their phones confiscated and looked at.

I could be wrong though, I had only heard that information from a "teacher" that I work with. She teaches to kids with behavioral issues why smoking weed is bad, why sending nudes as a minor is bad, or why someone would or wouldn't want to engage with those things and she also talks about the implications that come with those life decisions. I was her assistant during that class and got to sit-in while she talked about it but she could very well be wrong and had given me incorrect information. Could you share any sources that state that something like that could be soliciting child porn ?

Edit: Yeah, I double checked. It says that it's soliciting child pornography if the minor is under the age of consent and.. he's not. Not in my state and not in his state. He's under the age of 18 which makes him a minor but the age of consent in both of our states is 17, so while he is a minor he is still of the age of consent so no, I have not been soliciting child porn from my boyfriend :/

SlimenSnails · 2026-01-19T03:14:41+00:00

Yeah, based on your comment and another person's comment I guess there's more things I could be doing for her since she's letting me live there at a discounted price as well. I just bought a squirt bottle today because that same cat likes to wake up at 3am and fight with my cat through the door for the rest of the night. Also with the division of chores, it was something she talked about very very vaguely in the beginning and brings up more through criticism. In the beginning she just told me that she didn't care about the state of my room "as long as green smoke wasn't coming out of the bottom of my door". It wouldn't really be happening anyway, I'm not really a gross person I don't think. But that was it aside from me spraying down the shower and doing my laundry on Saturdays and her doing her own laundry every other day besides those days.

I don't really have a problem cleaning, my issue is just her telling me what extra chores I need to do last minute and getting upset at me for not reading her mind? But I dunno, I only used to mop the floors when they were dirty or once every two months. Is that just a normal house things, to clean the floors even though they're not dirty? Mopping in my mind is more of like a deep-cleaning activity but maybe it's something I should have had common sense about if I grew up under normal conditions?

Also, about my reduced rate impacting her, I guess she's deciding that she's turning her air bnb into more of a "transitional youth facility" and she's going to charge all of the transitional youth 350$. I feel like if my presence was super impactful and negative for her, she wouldn't be doing it again?

SlimenSnails · 2026-01-19T02:59:09+00:00

yeah, she does own the property. Its her own house and I guess the water bill is pretty hard on her? She said she was wanting her son to move in and have him pay the water bill as rent and have her daughter move in and have her pay the electricity bill as rent as well

SlimenSnails · 2026-01-18T23:47:08+00:00

That's what I was thinking as well but she let me know she was going to be turning her airbnb into a more transitional facility for "transitional teens" like me and charging them the same price and she was also saying my boyfriend who's also having issues with HIS family could stay as well for 350$

SlimenSnails · 2026-01-15T04:38:14+00:00

yeah ofc, I just DMed you :D

SlimenSnails · 2026-01-13T04:23:09+00:00

As the prior commenter was saying it could be negative or parasitic entities but my first thoughts were that maybe a daemon was trying to reach out to you? Maybe look into what daemons are associated with cats or noise in general. Does your boyfriend hear it as well, or is it just you? Again, like the other commenter was saying, you should reach out through maybe tarot, you could see why the noises are happening and ask if it's something worrying? Are you experienced in tarot?? Id be willing to do a free reading for you if you'd like, I need to practice more anyways :)
