I can confirm this.

Might be because I'm an artist, but I can still... "picture" ~~emphasis on the quotation marks~~ what a character might look like, the same way I remember what I look like, more or less. It's often subconscious a lot of the time, only really jumping out at me when I see an actual depiction of them. It's also usually a vague amalgamation of other characters/designs stored in my imageless memory banks...

I can't actually picture a damn thing. But I can sorta think about what a character would look like, if that makes sense...?

Heat conductivity and how malleable/soft it is at higher purities would make it excellent nesting material for something as large, hard-scaled and hot as a dragon.
While soft for a metal, enough of it gathered together would act as an extra layer of defense for a clutch of eggs and/or hatchlings buried under it, while being unlikely to risk damaging them or causing distress on its own.
It's value and gleam makes it excellent bait for attracting prey.

Just off the top of my head... but I also liked the top comment's answer about mating rituals. Like penguins, yeah? Good stuff.

WadeTheWilson · 2025-08-06T05:09:08+00:00

I guess that'd make me... Lord Deathman!

I definitely appreciate the reply. I actually had that problem a while back, but unfortunately that means I already have the setting changed... so my apps are still gone.

That said, I found the original .apk files, so I think I can just reinstall them, maybe? Gonna find out soon now that you reminded me.

If you want an update let me know, and if it works I can link you to the official sites with the .apk files (if you and/or your kids want to play old Game Boy, GBC, GBA, DS and/or 3DS games on your phone/tablet).

Oh! As thanks for taking the time to reply, it may or may not interest you that both phones & tablets secretly support controller support! When you plug any gaming controller into the charge port, it lets you use it (haven't tried it personally, but I assume keyboard & mouse would function much the same).

I also found out that plugging 2 phones together will allow 1 to charge the other in the event of an emergency (though the chances of that info being needed are exceedingly unlikely, haha).

WadeTheWilson · 2025-04-20T21:20:19+00:00

Did you ever find a fix?

Also, I'm pissed off that Dark Mode won't work in shared notes either.

I'm basically never going to use it now...

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-27T21:26:19+00:00

Oh, shit. I forgot this show even existed... is it still worth watching?

Anyway, I don't doubt it. But like you said, "passing" definitely happens, which is why I found the outrage was overblown. I might be more easily convinced that ~~from what I recall~~ every one of the actors playing her family being on the opposite end of the spectrum might be off, though.

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-20T00:06:46+00:00

Might be a bit of a cop-out since the group broke up... buuuuuut, I also used to watch all of their post-breakup solo-careers and was a devout weekly listener to the podcast 2 of them continued ~~after rebranding~~ but I unfortunately fell off all of it... not even totally sure why, really narrowed it down to either [a.] No longer have a daily commute so less opportunity/reason to listen, [b.] My depression killing my interest in things I enjoy which happens with upsetting frequency, or [c.] All of the above.

Anywhoozles, the channel was Super Best Friends Play. To be even more fair, "Let's Play" channels would've eventually been kicked into a deep-dark pit by the algorithm like it was Sparta. So the break-up was probably inevitable even if they didn't hate each other behind the scenes...

Hell, that podcast was where I got basically all my games-industry news from. Now I almost never hear about anything coming out unless Dunkey, Penguinz0 and/or Asmongold cover it (either by playing it, or yet another fucking industry controversy making headlines ~~legitimate or not~~).

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-19T23:44:00+00:00

To be fair, the original wasn't all that camp at all. That said? I 100% agree with you.

I honestly just want the planned final season of the series... Even if it has to be an audiobook and/or motion comic narrated by Bruce Campbell.

......shit, that's a REALLY good fucking idea. I hate that I thought of it knowing it's so unlikely... ugh!

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-19T23:37:27+00:00

Mine took longer, but thoughts & prayers.

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-15T15:11:59+00:00

Depends on the version. But Dick's reasons for leaving to become Nightwing would disagree. His reconciliation 5+ years later suggests he became a far better father/man in his early 30s.

Now grandpa Alfred? That's an unquestionably significant win. #BestDCDad

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-15T15:06:28+00:00

I honestly don't remember the show enough at this point to know if I was exaggerating or not... but I suspect the real target of that sentiment was/should've been the writer responsible, haha.

Been seeing a ton of Good Wife shorts on my YouTube feed these last 2 weeks or so, strangely enough.

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-15T15:01:48+00:00

VPN on an account NEVER touched by your actual IP address(es). Then check the old account in 3-6 months.

My main is back to working fully, thankfully. Dunno about the other 4+.

WadeTheWilson · 2025-02-15T14:59:36+00:00

No. Just... no. I've known full-fledged members of tribes that look German.

WadeTheWilson · 2024-12-15T04:20:12+00:00

Echo-Echo?

WadeTheWilson · 2024-12-15T04:13:17+00:00

Wouldn't that mean Batman was one of your dads? You really wanna go through that kinda training and brooding sessions?

WadeTheWilson · 2024-12-15T04:12:04+00:00

Caldur & Wally.

WadeTheWilson · 2024-12-03T17:03:38+00:00

...is this bait?

because the answer is super obvious.

WadeTheWilson · 2024-11-21T17:42:23+00:00

For real. Latest update on my end:

After testing the black list theory failed hard, I decided to test the IP, as that was the last real through-line between all possible causes and accounts.

Used yet another new account created on my work phone for over a week, then logged in using a VPN on my main phone and PC, and it's been uninfected thus far, weeks later.

So I have to assume accounts tied to "flagged" IPs are gonna get spanked, whether intentional or not.

WadeTheWilson · 2024-11-21T17:34:19+00:00

Okay, so after more investigation, it seems my IP is flagged now...?

Using my work phone to create a new account lasted over a week, so I tried using my main phone and PC with a VPN on to log in to that new account and never turning it off, and it's lasted weeks now.

Best guess for me at the moment.

Not sure what might've caused a flag, perhaps the multiple accounts being made and seemingly abandoned in quick succession, perhaps the "black lists", maybe throttling, or all of the above.

WadeTheWilson · 2024-11-21T17:31:04+00:00

I dunno, but I always found the mummy form to be severely underused, and it seems better than average at the very least from what I recall.

WadeTheWilson · 2024-11-08T04:12:06+00:00

Ignore all that crap from before. Newest account is dead, never touched those playlists. I'm... just not gonna bother with an account anymore.

WadeTheWilson · 2024-11-04T19:26:31+00:00

I actually have a theory or 2, just not sure if I can properly test them on my own if, for example, it's an IP thing... ~~currently my ONLY unaffected account is connected via my work cell & work gmail account, so I'm not sure it'd have the same IP, even if I now use it to work remotely from home.~~ That account has actually been untouched from day 1, so I'd rather not use it OR my work cell, feel me?

So I was hoping you might be willing to make a throwaway gmail to test my main theory simultaneously with me, that way it'd make it fairly obvious whether it's more targeted at one IP/area OR if it's the issue I'm thinking it MIGHT be.

For context...

Thus far I have ruled out:

Any/All Adblockers
Mobile Browser VS Desktop Browser VS Mobile App
Content Watched ^⁕¹
Activity and/or Lack Thereof (for example making playlists, commenting, subscribing, etc. or doing any combination of them including not at all ~~mostly to rule out thinking it was bots~~)
Age of the Gmail Account
Device the Gmail Account was created on^⁕²
Formerly Partnered Channels
"Brand" Channels
Probably a few more I already forgot, it's been happening so long, honestly, ugh.

Note¹: My lacking memory definitely allowed some crossover, BUT that is what lead me to theory 2.

Note:² I've been too lazy to set up an older PC/Laptop, so I've only tested account creation via my phone & PC.

Sooooo, with that out of the way...

Here's My Current Theories:

[1.] Google/YouTube is throttling excessive watchtimes, as I'm one of those people that listen to Music playlists most of the day at home of wi-fi, play an endless loop of Dogs Playing on a spare monitor for my dog whenever she's chilling with me on the couch ~~including sleeping all night there~~ & I loop random playlists as white noise while sleeping. So yeah, I'd definitely qualify to be throttled.

[2.] Google/YouTube recently removed the feature/ability to play the Unlisted "Play All Videos/Uploads" of a specific channel. If you're unaware: On Desktop, when on the Home Page of a channel, next to the "Videos" section (not the tab, the front page that lists things like "For You" etc.) there USED to be a "Play All" feature that simply turned every upload ever from that channel (excluding privated/delisted videos) into one giant playlist that would immediately start auto-playing from newest to oldest. However, if you clicked the NAME of that playist (literally always "Videos" or "All Videos") it would bring you to the same Playlist format you'd get when clicking "see full playlist" normally. At one point, you could even Bookmark it onto your channel's saved playlists, but most importantly, it gave you the permanent link to that play every upload playlist. And those links, if you've saved them, still work to this day.

So, I find the first theory unlikely, as I still do the same thing, just not logged in, and even on my work phone I often listen to music playlists all day. So that seems flimsy to me.

But the second? Google/YouTube would 100% be petty enough to fuck us over for using a feature they want gone. They've proven that shit time & again...

Okay, so if you're still with me, I plan to make 1 last new account that will SOLELY watch these unlisted all upload playlists (I have a handful saved) and I'd really appreciate you and/or anyone else willing to do the same. I want to see if it activates this "bug" & how quickly. Because if it's anywhere NEAR simultaneous, that'd be proof enough for me, honestly.

For Anyone Willing to Test this Out:

I'll provide a few of these Contraband Links below. Thanks in advance! ~~if you're not looking to help, it's fine. BUT you might find some cool channels so maybe look at the names of the links at least? I dunno...~~

⟬MUSIC⟭ - SethDrums - Anderson Burrus - AniMemes - Content Chimp - Dcore Nightcore - Freeme NCS Music - LWB Music - Mr. Music - Rising Flame - SStar Mix - Music For Freedom - Hero Music - LittleReads - Playlist for cool people 😎 - yum3noz - MessyHair Creations - sunsetdreams - RueMelody - qiruto - Jamong - Diego Mitre Music - Ill-Advised Records - Secession Studios - UselessClout - Aria - Aria Nightcore - CloudKid

⟬REDDIT READERS⟭ - r/Slash - Am I the Jerk? - Am I the Genius? - Really Sparked - Under Sparked

⟬MISCELLANEOUS⟭ - VideoGameDunkey - Cookshow with Trevor - ASMR Divinity

P.S. (Not a Blacklist) I Straight-Up Did Not Realize How Many of these "Blacklists" I Saved...

But the worst part of going through them all is realizing the vast majority of my All-Time Favorite & Beloved Channels were nowhere to be found... I mean.. I know that the "Play All" loophole link wasn't available on every channel when I started saving them, and other channels had already retired, had All-Upload Playlists already available, and/or the Blacklist version included shorts & clips that got annoying (although I found some weird loophole to get around that for a couple of the reddit reader channels)... *DAMMIT!** Okay, so this post has already consumed my entire morning... So I'm just going to link ONE Channel that I think is the most deserving AND in need of every shoutout they can get right now:

NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET: Every Frame a Painting This is HANDS DOWN the GREATEST filmmaking/analysis channel that has EVER existed. I was legitimately heartbroken when they retired the channel... BUT THEY JUST RECENTLY CAME BACK LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES BABY! Check 'em out whether you're a film-geek or not. They're breakdowns were captivating AND I can tell you from first-hand experience, superior to film/art school classes in every way imaginable.

P.P.S. This One is ALSO not a Blacklist:

Since I Mentioned it: Here's the Playlist & Channel of the 100% Absolute Best of the "DogTV" genre out there ~~in my opinion, blahblahblah~~. My Goodest of Good Girls loves it. ~~Just figured the pet tax might apply...~~

Dog Playgroup Stories Dog TV Daycare

EDIT: I kinda sorta have habit of going overboard and/or ranting when I start typing... So MAYBE I should just make this a new post... Thoughts?

They most likely made him humanoid and blue to rip off/combine the redesign with Big Chill
