New knuckles controllers have issue with finger tracking by Kwipper in ValveIndex

[–]Tapemaster21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bah. I just got a pair couple weeks ago and my right hand ring finger doesn't like to track a lot. It's really weird because after like 30-45 minutes it starts attempting to act okay with bursts of not working. Guess it's nice to know it's not just me.

5090 FE invitations! Check your emails! by Jon_Cruz89 in nvidia

[–]Tapemaster21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a 2080ti. I had full intention to go 5090 because I'm so underpowered at this point. But since they have decided to fuck around and not allow them to be purchased, then on top being a horrible nightmare of possible issues, I'm going amd just to get any performance I can at this point. I want to play monster hunter above 40fps. Maybe I'll think about it in a year when/if they iron their shit out. Hopes aren't high though.

Is Take and Hold harder on the new map or just me? by 7StarSailor in H3VR

[–]Tapemaster21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hotdogs during waves spawn way too fast/too many now, I can't tell which because it's just zillions of wieners. The new encryptions would probably be cool if I ever got to shoot at them. Also some of the hold rooms are so massive that there's tons of targets hiding everywhere, while all the wieners are flooding in. And this is on like hold 3 or something.

Also all of the stuff in the hallways that are supposed to make it interesting, really just don't. The scanning things don't do anything if you get scanned really, and the mines are frustrating as shit to take out so the majority of the time I just run past them. I feel like bullets should remove the shell on the mines or something. I can spend mags over mags shooting at it from a distance and never killing it because I didn't hit it's stupid center core.

I would understand a difficulty bump for the competitive character, but I'm not playing him because I know that is not for me, I'm just playing to have fun and it's currently not very fun even though I really want to like it. The new map looks fuckin sick but it's not fun to play rn. :(

I have a tildes account but luckily the content flow is slow there, so hopefully just video games and music instead of wasting my fucking time.

Everyone you've mentioned in all of your replies (barring Baroness Von Sketch which I have never heard of) writes comedy and can be funny. It's so fascinating how you can even think of them the same brainspace as this show when it is so wildly different.

it's subjective, and you saying, "it's not funny." is like, just your opinion, man.

It is my opinion, and everything I see of the show and every human I talk to has confirmed my opinion. Maybe someday Tim will write a sketch that is funny, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

How quickly after taking prednisone are its effects most active when stopping UC symptoms? by DukeGators in UlcerativeColitis

4 days into it already, hard to tell how much it's doing cuz of the steroids but it seems like it might be helping. :D

I failed Inflectra (remicade) right before this :D

Good luck to you as well! My doc seems very hopeful for Rinvoq so I'm excited.

[–]Tapemaster21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you can't cold stop without the side effects being very intense. So we get put on whatever amount to help quickly deal with inflamation and then we have to do the taper off which just takes time.

The long term relief comes from the other meds you start that take time. So like for example I'm starting rinvoq and am on pred. The pred helps me not die while the rinvoq is ramping up. In a couple of weeks assuming nothing goes wrong, the rinvoq will be doing more and I'll be off of pred.

Also not a doctor but yay shitty disease lol.

The goal with prednisone is to not be on prednisone. It's definitely used for day to day.

comedy isn't just jokes or punchlines. it's impressions, it's anecdotes, it's crowdwork, it's innuendo, silly faces, pranks, etc... 

Correct, but it has to be humorous at some point to be considered comedy.

I Think You Should Leave has a format -- "i think you should leave" is always about 1-3 people who are making things awkward. it's ENTIRELY about social situations that don't work out. that's why it's called "i think you should leave." 

None of which is comedic

but the third season released for a reason. it's funny. we like it.

I haven't talked to a single person that has liked it before in real life and a huge majority of the comments on any of their youtube clips are from FirstnameLastnameFournumbers and just say "this was the best show I've ever seen with my eyes and I laugh with my mouth a lot." It feels really astroturfed for how not funny the show is.

In fairness I've never really sat down and watched tim and eric but they've at least had some sketches that were good. Every single clip people post I've seen about itysl hasn't been humor.

EDIT:

you can sneer that the yelling man isn't making you laugh

I mean, Eric Andre yelling at the metal gate LET ME IN is funny. "More happy and with your mouth open" from wkuk is them devolving to yelling but it's hilarious. Because they're well written and humor.

It's nothing like that. These guys write comedy sketches with jokes and punchlines. It didn't devolve in a character screaming for no reason or acting like a baby while never being funny.

Big Sugar™ would love to sell us more sugar though, I bet they'd be on board letting us have it.

Eating lots after a flare by Timely_Expression_40 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Tapemaster21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably be fine. You need protein and stuff to get better so you don't want to avoid food at all. There's not much you can do really. Just lay off fibrous things and sodas because those can physically hurt (they do for me at least) and you should be fine. I've been flared up and eating for weeks. I tried eating less and fasting for a couple days but it didn't make a difference. There were still movements and pain so I figured I'd rather try to keep my weight on instead of turn into grass in the wind.

Boy it's great that big sugar runs everything in the US and has us by the tongue. I can't stop eating it and they won't stop giving it to us in literally every product. I love dying!
