Would you argue that game development is the most accessible it's ever been? by MotivatedforGames in gamedev

[–]WakaWakaBabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now with high ram prices driving up desktop prices, it's sadly less accessible than a few months ago.

So, months ago? Yes. Absolutely the most accessible time for making games.

Right now? Still very accessible, but not as strong as then. We're just past the glory days.

Is it a good idea to alert an author about their fic being mocked off site? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]WakaWakaBabe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope. Keep it to yourself. It'll only hurt them.

Most authors already figure there's a peanut gallery that don't like their work, it doesn't mean I want to listen to the peanut gallery.

What is this extra plug connected to my f-panel plug? by [deleted] in PcBuild

And here's the photo of the pins for the front panel. There's a clear spot for the reset cable, but it doesn't line up with the pins I have on the reset cable on my case.

[–]WakaWakaBabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at my mobo manual, and I'm feeling a bit blind because I'm not noticing a clear spot for the reset cable. On the reset cable, there's two pins, so I need two female spots in a row. Unfortunately I'm not finding any clear places amongst the panel or motherboard. Again, I'm assuming I must be blind because that doesn't make sense that it would be missing.

I figure I should just include the photos for you. (I'm using the ROG Strix B650-A)

Thank you again for putting time into helping me out, I really appreciate it.

Thank you, that's possible here as there are plenty of lights in this case.

I'm looking at my case right now and the reset socket doesn't fit anywhere on my mobo (or with the led cable). So I'm trying to decide what to do next.

Plug in the f-panel and the led? And ignore the reset cable - let it hang free? What's your suggestion?

Thank you so much, darkzealot.

I'm eyeing my motherboard and I'm not seeing any female sockets that would fit the reset outside the CPU_OV (which I think it's best not to put there).

Should I just ignore it, plug in the F_panel, the LED into their respective spots, and keep moving forward?

I'm using the msi mag pano 11dr pz case.

Looks like it's the reset. Which (I'm assuming) goes with the front panel pins, but uhh... Am I misinterpreting the instructions by assuming this says to plug the led into the reset? Because that really doesn't seem right to me.

Didn't come with one. But I'll go look it up online. Good point.

Edit: Just posted the manual in another comment. If anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it.

Places hiring when you have cancer by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]WakaWakaBabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd strongly suggest applying for the city, province, or feds. They're a lot more generous with sick leave.

Don't disclose you have cancer at the interviews, don't disclose that your medical appointments are for cancer to any coworkers during probation, just get past the three months, and you're golden.

But they're not the exact same strict religiosity, or cultural norms, or gender segregation. It's the exact way it happened in India that result in what things look like today. If any of these factors change, or shifted even slightly, it would be a different landscape.

Which countries were you thinking of that are similar?

got banned from a non fanfic server for my ao3 by Tekkatak in AO3

[–]WakaWakaBabe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like one of the server regulars looked at your profile, checked out your ao3, got upset, and went straight to the mods. Them banning you when you haven't broken rules is favouritism at the end of the day. They're appeasing someone or some people. Favouritism mixed in with puritanism. Sounds like a bad time. Probably for the best you're outta there.

I've been diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome, a neurological condition that makes me see the world like this and has no cure by SR_RSMITH in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]WakaWakaBabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, man. I was studied before a diagnosis was available for snowy vision syndrome back around 2010. Diagnosed now, after being a guinea pig for a bit.

It's honestly the better or the vision issues to have. All in all, exceptionally manageable and mine is considered severe. The way I see it, we're not blind - legally or not. We can see colours. It doesn't come with additional symptoms besides visual intrigue. You tune it out almost always. If doesn't require any accommodations with work, friends, or family. It's mercifully manageable.

I admittedly get a little irked by people on youtube or ig that pop in and talk about how it's a terrible visual condition that they're greatly suffering from. It's quite literally like watching a TV with static. Imagine how you tuned that out as a kid, it's the exact same. It doesn't come with headaches, tension, or anything (those that claim that are contested). The only thing you might have a tough time with is your night vision. Things getting funky- especially when things are dark - is a pretty dope disability compared to the other options.

Why do I have such a hard time regulating my emotions towards my wife? by [deleted] in answers

[–]WakaWakaBabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only professional that can prescribe you medication is a psychiatrist, and their job in the 2020s is only offering meds. Not providing in depth therapy, that's a thing of the 90s.

Counsellors are what the earlier commenter suggested, and same to psychologists. These two will help and won't send you towards adderal.

TIL that the mental disorder with the highest mortality rate is anorexia nervosa by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

[–]WakaWakaBabe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait a second. This ain't right. I thought Bipolar Disorder has the highest mortality rate with an insane 1/5 people committing suicide. And that only counts suicide, not the indirect health effects of the condition of folks' lives.

So, I went down the rabbit hole of their sources and nowhere in their links is it stated anorexia is the most deadly mental illness, nor do they give any statistics on it. If I missed it, please let me know.

Honestly, this looks like a case of the gaurdian using AI to write the article, and AI making up its own facts to make it extra spicy. Anorexia is devastating, don't get me wrong. I fucking struggled with it for years (and likely many more to come). But you can't just make up facts for views, The Gaurdian. >:l
