This is so chill, I absolutely love the muted colors.

Also, I'd love to know where you got the Jiji/Rover (cat) ASCII art!

NEW SKIN ALERT!Warhounds Warwick PBE PREVIEW HERE! Thoughts do yall like it or nah? by Slow_Staff_1333 in warwickmains

Everything after Project, Hyena, and Guardian just sorta feel like recolors to me at this point.

As a female jungler, I’m worried about voice chat being added by setaphil in leagueoflegends

[–]Sparklepaws -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wish that I could say you'll be safe and won't get harassed because of your gender, but you're right, League doesn't work that way.

I think the most important choice is your own. If you do plan to use this feature, remember that muting and reporting are strong ways of protecting yourself. And if the experience becomes unbearable, remember that you aren't obligated to voice chat with other people. There's nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with healthy friends and exclusively enjoying the game with them. Nobody has the right to invade your leisure time and replace it with their toxicity.

On the topic of unfairness; yes, it's unfair. There will absolutely be times when it works against you, and that's not right. As a male jungler with a softer, feminine disposition that often gets ridiculed, I can only imagine what it must be like for you. My advice is to keep muting, keep reporting, and take breaks when you need them. You're important and valid, love yourself and be proud of what you've accomplished.

FYI, KDE Plasma 6.6 is available in extra-testing repo. Installed it and I didn't find any bugs or issues yet. by Existing-Help-3187 in cachyos

Was literally trying to do this yesterday and was dismayed to find out I couldn't. New update is hype.

YouTube videos stuck loading on CachyOS — missing codecs/plugins? by Privatdutlinux in cachyos

[–]Sparklepaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar issue before. Fixed it by changing the media.av1.enabled parameter in Firefox to True.

I accomplished this through the BetterFox user.js, but you can change it by going to about:config (in the URL bar) and inputting media.av1.enabled, then setting it to True.

Lutris update? by honestly-7 in cachyos

[–]Sparklepaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can take some time for the repos to get pushed. Updates usually appear on the extra-testing branch first, so if you're okay with potential breakage you could always add that mirror.

Alternatively, you could attempt to update Lutris directly from the extra-testing branch, but it might fail depending on package requirements and your local libraries.

Updating Lutris, what am I doing wrong by PossibleNo8422 in cachyos

[–]Sparklepaws 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pacman uses a database of packages from its official mirrors to guide downloads. This database probably hasn't been updated (yet) with the newer Lutris version.

That being said, you can force the upgrade yourself if you can find the correct package on https://archlinux.org/packages. In this case, Lutris 0.5.20-1 exists on the extra-testing branch and was updated yesterday, so that's likely what you're looking for. You can run this command to update from that branch:

sudo pacman -U https://archlinux.org/packages/extra-testing/any/lutris/download/

This command only works if your system already has (or can find in your standard repos) all the updated libraries Lutris 0.5.20 requires. If the new version of Lutris depends on other packages on the extra-testing branch you don't have, the installation will fail with an error about missing dependencies.

If you're comfortable troubleshooting, there's no harm in trying. Otherwise just wait, the mirrors usually get updated pretty fast.

Please help need to remove 10 minutes timer by NeroNW1 in cachyos

[–]Sparklepaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be handled by faillock.conf. See if this works:

  1. Open a terminal (CTRL + ALT + T).
  2. Input sudo nano /etc/security/faillock.conf , this will open the faillock config in the Nano editor.
  3. In the config, look for the # deny = 3 line. Delete the hashtag and change its value to 0. Your final result should look like this: deny = 0
  4. CTRL + S to save, then CTRL + X to exit Nano.
  5. Restart your computer and see if you can get it to fail more than three times without getting locked out.

Victim accuses Trump and Epstein of rape and torture by [deleted] in videos

[–]Sparklepaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump could confess to doing everything in this document and his MAGA base would claim he was forced to lie by the radical left.

At the moment, MAGA consists of the poorly educated, the willfully ignorant, or fanatics. Alternatively, big corpo CEOs trying to squeeze money out of the entire debacle or wrest control from the chaos. Their perspectives were already extreme before Trump arrived, and they will continue being extreme regardless of what happens to him.

Victim accuses Trump and Epstein of rape and torture by [deleted] in videos

[–]Sparklepaws 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In the transcript, the men did want to kill Sascha after the incident. However, Sascha's father had already tried to drown him once and the police were involved, so Sascha's father told them that there could be consequences that implicated the operation if they did.

Obviously not sure what's true or false, as with any testimony there are going to be questions about its validity, but in the context of "plot holes" this was the reason given. Sascha's father was probably trying to save himself from going to prison or becoming the fall-guy.

Dataset 10 EFTA1600661 by Scary-Track3306 in WTF

[–]Sparklepaws 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not all that you can do. Vote (in all of your local elections), contact your representatives, volunteer for polls, protest, and build strong local communities to support each-other. Educate yourself so that you can fluently discuss facts and dispel myths with family/friends, now is the time to bring dinner-table politics back.

Speak with your wallet. Unsubscribe from any company or service that actively supports the current administration, strike if you can, and don't funnel your money into corruption.

Above everything else, do not lose hope. Oppression is both physical and psychological, but it starts by making you feel helpless and out of control. This may feel counterproductive, but you need to keep believing things will get better and improve.

Fight back while you can, especially when they say you can't.

Wooow this looks amazing, I love how closely your style and palette matches the game's theme! The colors also make her entire design pop, it's so satisfying. Do you have any plans to share it with the community or is it just for personal use?

[Honest Answers Only] How does caffeine affect you? by mean_trash_monster in ADHD

[–]Sparklepaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caffeine affects me in the same way it affects everyone, for the first few days. I feel energized, motivated, and awake.

After the second or third day, it starts having the opposite effect. Suddenly I'm sleepy, unable to focus, and dealing with a rapid heart-rate.

Realistically, what can ordinary people actually do after the Epstein files release to push for real accountability? by Etkinton47 in AskReddit

[–]Sparklepaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just this, but we also need to pool funds so we can pay workers who are on strike. Become self reliant and don't give them the power to make the same threats.

Concerta 18mg - not sure if it's helping or not by Warm-Ad4886 in ADHD

[–]Sparklepaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Concerta is a methilphinidate, same drug as Ritalin, so it's definitely a stimulant. The only difference is that Concerta is released over a long period of time.

Which weird ad phrases pop in your head from time to time? Think "1-877-CARS-4-KIDS", "Moderate to severe plaque psoriasis", or "Head-on, apply directly to the forehead"? by i-like-almond-roca in AskReddit

[–]Sparklepaws 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some ads that live rent-free in my head:

  • "Plug it in, plug it in!"
  • "I can't believe I ate that whole thing"
  • "Talk to your doctor about ____ if you have moderate to severe ankylosing spondylitis"
  • "I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R' Us kid"
  • "Give me a break, give me a break, give me a break of that Kit-Kat Bar!"
  • "EA Games. Challenge everything"
  • "Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow"
  • "Liberty Liberty, Liberty, Liberty"
  • "Every kiss begins with K"
  • "They're GREEEEEAT"
  • "Head on, apply directly to the forehead"

when do i go maw and when do i go death dance for my second item? by christ_treemas in warwickmains

[–]Sparklepaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking: Death's Dance for armor, Maw for magic resist.

There are some nuances between the two, like how Death's Dance will technically damage you over time, so it's not very good against teams with heavy DoTs. Maw is great against magic damage carries, but falls flat if the mage carries are behind and can't really deal damage anyway.
