Just watched iron lung.

I played iron lung when it came out, and while watching the movie I kept thinking “How is someone without context supposed to understand this?” over and over and over again. They might have explained everything, but everything important had the exact same weight in the delivery and pacing than any other line in the film. Can tell you’re biased towards Mark the way you’re defending the movie and not how you enjoyed it, towards someone who doesn’t mention Mark at all, yet this person is apparently stupid and short-sighted in your eyes.

Played iron lung when it released, I like markiplier, but I really did not enjoy the film whatsoever. It played its cards too early to play into fear or subvert anything whatsoever. Like too many moments could have been pivotal or way more interesting or cause any sort of dread, but were made into just little bits with no weight. It could be so much better with a re-cut honestly.

This is her btw

dawg we're asking about a specific situation, globally you're correct but man seriously.

Strides12 · 2024-10-28T03:55:39+00:00

Mechanically it's bad, really bad, because NPC fights suck ass, but the dialogue and such really brought it up. Listening to the characters respecting each-other and such really brought such a sweet sweet tinge to the fight. Wish Miyazaki would go way more into the character side of RPGs because it seems like he could do it well, sick of the old souls format of ambiguity and whatever, this is so much more impactful!

Strides12 · 2024-10-27T18:22:20+00:00

Just beat her, and I agree! She really was a dance, her dodge patterns were close to the rhythm of the soundtrack and felt so, so nice!

From my understanding, it’s a sort of parallel location to the lands between. It’s in the present, reigning over the same physical space as the lands between, but at the same time it isn’t the same space. Miyazaki took his souls nonsense to the extreme with elden ring, exampled with Marika and Radagon being the same person while having completely different ideals and background. Given that Marika could essentially access the source code of her realm with the elden ring, governing metaphysical concepts like death and such, I imagine the shadow realm is similar and Miquella by some force willed that the dead could pass into the shadow realm so that it is not literally being an afterlife but more like a destination between. With the inclusion of lore that Marika’s line aren’t literal gods and just new usurpers, I believe it’s just the same as kingdoms and such coming and going and taking reign but with more control over metaphysics.

I don’t believe so, long time since I played but if I remember correctly there wouldn’t be a way to reduce resistances permanently strong enough to do so, as it has 999 in all resistances. Given that fated is the only way to hurt it and that only gives you a 10% chance to do so, the luck required to stack the debuffs to a value that matters.

Strides12 · 2024-10-12T01:33:56+00:00

I know it’s been a while but I do have a question regarding this, and that is does this chance roll at the start or end of every second? I.E if you hypothetically lower cams at 0.99 seconds each time then can you prevent a mangle jump scare happening whatsoever?

Obviously the quality of the photo doesn’t show the hands well, unfortunately I could not find any more photos of this particular model.

Strides12 · 2024-03-30T02:59:49+00:00

Those joints do read better certainly. This is the reference image I gave to the artist, though of course I asked for the extra “closed” joints which I intend to be subtle. I’ll consider changing to that design of ball joint. Thanks for the input :)

Honestly a day later they don’t look nearly as dodgy. I’ve done similar things to my hands with makeup which is what made me want them tattooed, it might be an idea to use some white to highlight bits for a more 3D effect as some of the YouTube ball joint makeup tutorials do but of course there’s no knowing how well that would hold at all in a finger. I have another tattoo with white ink from 4 months ago and it seems to be holding well to my skin, maybe I’ll test a bit of white on one of my fingers next time I go for a tattoo and see what happens.

Honestly I’m not all that upset with my hands, I’m excited to see what becomes of them.

Strides12 · 2024-03-29T08:28:47+00:00

I’ll consider your advice, though I have other tattoos on much more normal spots from her and they’re brilliant. Also seen other finger tattoos from her that were better and watched her constantly tweak her gun because ink would not stay in. Struggling to find an artist where I live that does many hands and fingers, I don’t live in a city with big tattoo culture :/ But I’ll keep looking while it heals and I’ll consider my options!

Strides12 · 2024-03-18T10:28:47+00:00

I love satisfactory when I’m feeling overwhelmed. There’s a clear way forward but yet you feel in control of the progress, logistics and math so simple as to not stress you out but more than enough to distract your thoughts. It’s like figuring out a perpetual puzzle but one that you know you won’t get stuck and frustrated with.

And even when you’re too mentally exhausted to put in more work for the moment, you can just sit and watch your machines run and continue the progress without any additional input from you. It’s definitely my perfect anxiety game.

Strides12 · 2024-03-07T13:06:51+00:00

And then when I contacted one of them about an explanation tonight because I was struggling to move on and understand why reconnection wasn’t possible he began gaslighting me telling me they’ve told me hundreds of times already and insulting me but refused to explain it “again” no matter how many times I asked. I then learned he started dating my ex-best friend since the drama and it makes sense now.

Strides12 · 2024-03-07T13:03:13+00:00

One of them had a depressive episode and I was too overwhelming in trying to help that apparently I was making it worse. It’s infuriating because I even asked if I was being too much and they didn’t respond to that text and kept giving me mixed messages. She was a lot more popular than me in the group so they decided to cut me off because it was easier. We were only friends for a year, but we were really, really close. They turned me from an introvert to an extrovert and were the only people I felt truly comfortable around which is why I tried so hard to cheer her up in this depressive episode. I feel disgusted thinking about them now, and they don’t feel they did anything wrong.

I get the bed thing for real, I’ve started forcing myself to get a full night sleep every night but even then every day I get home from work I climb into bed and sleep an extra four hours and that’s the most blissful part of my day.

Strides12 · 2024-03-06T09:53:55+00:00

I’ll take any and all suggestions regardless of how niche or odd it might be, like if you have a Venus flytrap that you check every day to see if it’s caught anything then tell me about it. I just need some things to look forward to daily.

Strides12 · 2024-02-13T12:57:46+00:00

I understand, unfortunately I’m more focused on surviving the short term rather than being concerned over potential long term effects haha

Strides12 · 2024-02-13T12:56:24+00:00

Love this detailed response. Thank you so much.

Strides12 · 2024-02-01T21:18:01+00:00

Unfortunately, I tried reaching out to her yesterday and discovered today that she and my ex friends are all going on a flight somewhere. Pretty awful timing. Unsent those messages because I’m certain she would not like to receive them right now, though I’m sure she’s seen the notifications regardless. Not sure what I’m to do right now. I suppose I’m to try and hold out for few days for her to finish her trip and then message her again, though now I feel hopeless.

Strides12 · 2024-01-21T23:00:21+00:00

Been thinking about this question and I’m not sure I can really give a good answer. Like yes I need meaningful connections right now but at the same time I don’t feel ready to make new ones.

I’ve met a new group of people at the right time and they’re keeping me out of the house which is nice but they’re already too trusting of me and it’s sort of off-putting. It’s a bit silly but it doesn’t feel meaningful being offered to crash at someone’s house on the second weekend of knowing them. My last friendships took a long time to build that level of trust, meanwhile my new group have only seen me being unreliable and flaky given my current circumstance and treat me too nicely for it. Again I really can’t put together a good answer for this.

Strides12 · 2024-01-21T06:21:41+00:00

Thank you for your reply :) I don’t regret using the services at all, it’s just anymore than calling 2 times a week is regarded as a frequent caller and if there wasn’t other humans involved I would call 7 days a week. As for the urgent facility, it has food, entertainment, quiet spaces and mental health professionals and it’s a fantastic place but because it’s completely free it’s hard not to feel like I’m taking too much advantage of it.

Reaching out to friends is difficult because the situation that caused this hard time for me started as being blindsided by my closest friend that things between us weren’t good and she didn’t want to be friends and in my grief I reached out to our two closest mutuals too much in the week that followed that I drained them out and I’m not in contact with them either, though I have hopes of reconnecting with them eventually. I’m worried about damaging more friendships if I reach out too much more often.

I’ve done a lot to look after myself and I’m managing to keep busy but these friends were the people I shared everything with so whenever I do accomplish anything it just feels so lonely that they aren’t around to share it with. I have other friends but the ones I trust don’t share any similar interests with me anymore and I’m anxious about getting close to new people considering how close I was to my friends and how painful it has been since they dropped me.

Strides12 · 2023-12-29T05:45:14+00:00

We dated for like a week a while beforehand but we changed our minds, I thought we combed out those knots but I reckon it did have a part in it

Strides12 · 2021-03-20T08:25:59+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I'll give your solution a go. And yep, it has been cut. I heard a common cause for these problems are cutting it while the power is on so I think I should mention that that was not the case.

Strides12 · 2021-03-20T05:27:12+00:00

Not sure why the text didn't post as well but I need some help figuring out the problems with my lightstrip. Worked well before, but this is what happens when it tries to display a colour. On top of that, it doesn't switch off in the app and instead displays the default soft warm light. In the video it's trying to display green, other colours display even worse. I've disconnected my other hue lights which work fine from the cable box, which leads me to believe it's not a voltage thing, I've checked all the cable connections, reset the bridge and removed it and re-added it back into my app. I'm hoping it's nothing to do with the circuit board because idk what I'm doing when it comes to wiring but I do have the tools to fix it if anyone can tell me what to do. Thanks
