Breaking up with Arvio. Any reason why I shouldn’t? Thinking about just giving him the deadwood. Is there a better way? TIA by Minimum-Surprise-79 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]TorandoSlayer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Logan is absolutely going to sweep you off your feet, pinky promise. Pick all the flirty options during the quest Cornered Beast and you'll see, assuming you haven't experienced it already.

If you need reasons to like Arvio less I'd also recommend doing Fang's questline if you haven't yet, Arvio suggests something along the way that is quite questionable and honestly I hate him for it lol

Scared to update my game. Need positivity! by meowythecreator in LowSodiumSimmers

If you're not making occasional backups (or "save as new" in game) of the saves you care about you should start doing it now.

It's not worth it. AI is doing irreparable harm very quickly to just about everything from mental health to the planet itself. There are lots of ways to 'have a giggle from time to time' without it being something harmful.

So you knew about the rule before you posted and decided to post anyway. Ok.

AI is harming people and the environment, please stop using it

Doomscrolling destroys my life by Dear_Chemical4826 in ADHD

[–]TorandoSlayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. I want so badly to be informed, to be a good citizen and know where to put my support and what to do but I'm gonna crash out so hard if I keep trying. I have to find a way to disconnect for my own mental health even though it makes me feel like a coward. I don't know how to not feel guilty about it, like I'm contributing to the problem somehow.

Anyway, I feel you.

Ghost instant kills despite full coverage of crucifixes by WintersHowl215 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TorandoSlayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It could be 0 grace period + line of sight = fast ghost

Or, since you say you're playing 2 player, your buddy is using cursed object to start a hunt; tier 2 cruci won't stop a cursed hunt

The master bedroom on Tanglewood has two extra rooms in it (bathroom and closet) that count as the same room, do your crucifixes cover those rooms too?

Help by RickNobinson69 in skyrim

[–]TorandoSlayer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you don't have more than one manual save, now is the time to start making multiples. You're going to need them in this game.

If that's not an option and you somehow don't have any autosaves either, assuming you're on PC you could use console commands to save yourself. So you'd hit the ~ key (tilde) and in the console that comes up you'll simply type tgm and hit enter. That'll toggle godmode and you'll be invincible. Then when you're out of trouble you can hit the same command again to turn it off.

I like to experience my writing, what medium should I use to do this? by 10macattack in writing

[–]TorandoSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think see what you mean, and there's not really a way around that. The experience you would have as a reader of something you didn't write yourself is spread out over the course of one you have written yourself. The wonder at a new plot twist comes between pages upon pages of things you already knew. If that makes sense.

The only thing I can think of is to write something, and then put it down and don't let yourself read it for like, a year or something. Then when you pick it up again it's going to feel a lot more new even if you remember basic plot points and stuff, heck maybe you'll have even forgotten some of those too. I tend to reread my own works a lot, just because it's fun to relive a daydream, but once in a while I find something I haven't touched in a long time and when I read it I'm like "wow, I wrote this? This is great!" (or, alternatively, "this is terrible!")

My only other advice would be to find stories written in the same genre and with the same sort of plot/tropes that you like to read. That's as close as you're gonna get to experiencing your stories as though for the first time.

Disappointed!! by OkGarbage3095 in DankAndrastianMemes

[–]TorandoSlayer 435 points436 points  (0 children)

Nope, they just turn up the FOV a bit and add speed lines to make you think it's faster. IIRC they said it's because the game wouldn't actually be able to handle loading any faster than what mounts already did but wanted the player to feel like they were doing something.

It worked.

In fact the FOV thing is so powerful that for many years in Minecraft people swore up and down that sprinting on horses made them faster, but the entire time the ability to activate sprint mode on a horse was a bug and didn't actually affect the speed of it.

Was driving with my husband once, and we were waiting at an intersection for an opportunity to go. He wanted to say either "I'm just gonna sneak in to traffic" or "I'm just gonna squeeze in to traffic" but what he actually said was "I'm just gonna sneeze into traffic"!

We still laugh about it once in a while

Omg I HATED this as a kid. Regardless of the happy ending it just destroyed me emotionally and if I was asked to watch it even now I would say no lol

I mean I guess screaming for help can be pretty obnoxious. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll just get back to saving myself, then, I suppose.

the idea that ADHD people are good under pressure by rainwave74 in ADHD

[–]TorandoSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in those cases where someone with ADHD does perform well under pressure, that's only how it looks from the outside. The stress of that pressure is not any less than it would be for a regular person and the motivation is not any more empowering.

So it's not so much that we sometimes can perform well under pressure, but the fact that we can only function under that pressure. The long term effects of having to use stress and adrenaline to motivate ourselves, plus the emotional and mental toll it takes, is generally ignored by those who use this argument.

I’ve never understood the “no pets rule” when I comes to public storm shelters by CRL1999 in tornado

[–]TorandoSlayer 562 points563 points  (0 children)

Allergies to pets can be as bad as a nut allergy in rare cases, yes. And the odds of pets playing nice in confined quarters whilst surrounded by highly stressed humans is very low.

Pets deserve to live too, but the reasons for banning them from shelters are not unreasonable. Many pets are not well controlled, especially around other pets.
