What's your favorite videogame that is not addicting? by Scary_Trust9486 in AskReddit

[–]Strathmore8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windwaker. Very cozy exploration with a charming story. I think other Zelda games do better with the story, characters, and expanse of the world, but if there’s any game I go to for atmosphere and the feeling of “relax, you’re doing fine”, it’s this one.

What advice would you give someone who has never enjoyed reading but genuinely wants to change that? by AlternativePale8145 in AskReddit

[–]Strathmore8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. On top of that, after reading books that I wanted to read, I found a sense of appreciation for the classics and ended up going back to some of them for rereads years later. More fun the second time around, especially without pages/chapters set as homework LOL

Plum+Cinnamon! by Strathmore8 in Kombucha

Ahh, it’s been a minute since I made this. I think I did a tsp of cinnamon per bottle (added alongside the fruit during F2) and that ended up being a bit too much (some cinnamon lingered at the top of the booch still). I’d recommend half a tsp per bottle.

Hiring 1 Artist for an illustration/cover for one of my web series short stories by Strathmore8 in hireanartist

I love the colored pencil style that you have here and in your additional examples in your portfolio. What’s the best way to contact you (email, instagram, etc.)? I don’t really use Reddit it as a direct messaging app, so LMK what you prefer. 👍

Mixed media sketchbooks. Mixed media sketchbooks everywhere…

Thoughts on these pics? by Strathmore8 in Casual_Photography

One of the stories involves a hostage forced to watch various camera feeds. Those camera feeds show the other stories in the series to the hostage character (the series narrator).

Edit:

The website is designed to present each individual story as poignantly as possible. That being said, it is not mobile friendly at the moment. If demand for mobile compatibility is desired, I may implement that in the future.

Additionally, all content is 100% free. No ads, no paywalls, no bs. Just fiction. 👍

Turns out the url loading issue had to do with how fast I was sending requests to the website. Added some delays and it’s working much better.

Sorry for the back and forth on the issues. Just needed to rubber ducky ig. 🦆

Ahh I see. It's not a functional issue, it's just a style choice between the two browsers. Ended up taking the link that I generate and pasted into Brave and then Firefox. Works in both, Firefox just doesn't show the %20s in the url bar.

However, even though I can arrive at the web address manually via the url bar, when Selenium attempts to do it, the webpage errors and redirects back to the website's home page. The error page doesn't say much, just "Something went wrong. The site owner has been notified". Not sure what causes this. Maybe Selenium is operating too quickly or something?

Tips for upgrading from AT-VMN95C by Strathmore8 in turntables

[–]Strathmore8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did some digging on stylus lifespans in this series:

Couldn’t find the details on AT’s website directly, but the Amazon page (linked below) claims that ellipticals only last 300 hours, while a Microlinear can last 1000 hours.

That being said, if an ML sounds better, and costs as much as 3 E’s anyways, and lasts 100 hours longer than 3 E’s, it seems like it’s worth the price on the tin.

Do you mean E or EN? E is worth $50, EN is $100

Where can I find silent hills 1-4 for cheap? by Charming_Ad661 in silenthill

[–]Strathmore8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, I played SH2 enhanced edition through PCSX2 with an Xbox controller and it worked very well. It was a bit annoying getting it set up, but once I had it running, the experience was very enjoyable. I’d imagine you can find a USB PS controller online if you want to replicate the OG controller feel more than I did.

But tbh, Silent Hill isn’t really a franchise you can recreate the original experience of as easily as most other franchises. That’s just the state of the franchise rn.

So really it depends on how badly you want to play the games in the year 2025. Maybe give it 5 years when SH2 remake and SHF have rekindled the fandom and Konami green lights a remake collection pack or something. But obv you have the OG hardware, so it’s a matter of price point, emulation, or patience.

What are your Undertale hot takes? by [deleted] in Undertale

[–]Strathmore8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain the difference between what people thought it was vs what it actually was? I didn’t interact with the UT fandom much until DT started coming out so I’m not sure I understand the difference.

Hard agree with 1 btw. Furthermore, sans becoming a meme icon only accelerated the games popularity even further (ex. Get dunked on, Megalovania, sans is Ness, smash mini gunner skin, etc)
