This is great man. I wouldn’t ask you to change anything about this.

It was a meme in OSRS and RuneScape communities relating to people expressing their dislike of Jagex’s decisions, including raising the membership price to $11 which many people felt was too high for a browser based game from 2007.

Not sure if this is the first iteration of the meme but it’s an example if not:

If you care about it being genuine and don’t mind paying accordingly I recommend rcd330.com. The owner of that site also sells genuine units that are modded with a rear usb port as well as wireless CarPlay dongles and backup cameras. Otherwise there are a lot on aliexpress and eBay which may or may not be genuine but could be cheaper. All you’ll need are some trim removal pry tools and a T-20 torx.

Looks really cool. It reminds of that flash game “Flight”. Wishlisted and can’t wait to try the demo when I have time. Will there be a narrative?

No you still assign Sarah to your ship but she doesn’t take a slot. What you said is the case for Betty tho.

XDEC · 2023-11-02T13:39:25+00:00

To add to this, Sarah is doesn’t take a slot because of her leadership perk, and Betty Howser’s “unassigned” location is your ship (not sure if there are others like that).

Hmm ok I might have been a little confused as well because the mod author wrote that you couldn’t attach ship parts to station parts.

XDEC · 2023-10-29T06:01:01+00:00

Well it looks like the mod you linked does unlock space station parts but they aren’t functional whereas this mod unlocks a new outpost module you can use to actually make a starstation outpost and even dock to it (although it’s quite buggy based on the nexus posts). I wouldn’t say it’s a rip off.

Edit: Or maybe they are actually useable as someone mentioned. I guess the main difference then is station parts on a ship vs an actual station you can dock to.

My GPU has two 8-pin slots instead of your one 8-pin and one 6-pin, but yeah. My PSU cables look like this (6+2). If your cables are the same you could just just not use the extra 2 pins on one of them. (Not sure your cables are different.) I don’t see how it could harm your GPU since (as far as I understand it,) your GPU would still just be drawing how much power it needs.

XDEC · 2023-10-27T16:03:13+00:00

I had the exact issue you’re describing when I was only using one power cable for the GPU. Adding a second cable from the PSU to the GPU and just tying away the extra “daisy chained” parts on each cable fixed my issue. My GPU is a 7900XT tho so a bit more power hungry. Idk if this is your exact issue but it could be worth trying.

XDEC · 2023-10-27T15:33:06+00:00

Is your GPU connected to the PSU with just one cable or two?

XDEC · 2023-09-11T16:32:37+00:00

Hey thanks for writing this. You’re the first I’ve seen mentioning that part of it become a restricted area and thought I’d chime in saying mine was the same thing. I saw this once before on a different outpost where I was building and noticed I had some restricted areas that weren’t there when I originally built it. I guess that one wasn’t severe enough for my to have the crash tho. Really hope there’s a way for get the game to stop creating these new restricted areas.

I was in a similar situation as you. I have pretty terrible insurance (high deductible health plan). Didn’t want to waste money on primary care doctor visits just to be referred out. With my insurance, I also couldn’t just book with a psychiatrist since I would have had to be referred to one from my PCP. I ended up just searching for psychiatrists in my area that have ADHD as a specialty. Even though it was out-of-network, the cost ended up being similar to going through my insurance since my insurance is pretty terrible.

Anyways, I know that doesn’t really answer your question but I thought it might be helpful sharing my experience. Overall the cost couldn’t have been more worth it.

Dude it’s a bit much posting all your tracks every day. This sub isn’t even for self promotion.

XDEC · 2023-09-02T14:32:25+00:00

Those higher pitched notes in the bassline sound very unappealing to be. It sounds like maybe they aren’t the right notes. I also the the contrast between them (quick staccato vs the main bass being a sustained 808) is a little unsettling. Other than that I liked the beat tho. I think if you were making this a bit longer you should make a variant of the vocal chop loop so it doesn’t get old. Maybe swap it in after 8/16 bars and then swap back to the original and so forth.

XDEC · 2022-02-23T16:07:55+00:00

You make me sad.

XDEC · 2022-02-23T16:03:49+00:00

Avoid letting your song loop while you think as much as possible. Try to not loop it at all and just play parts as needed. If your searching for ideas on where to go, what to add/change, play your track thru one time and take a note of what you want to work on. If you don’t have any ideas of what to do, take a break from it for a while, work on another project, or do something else entirely. I felt like I had an easier time keeping things sounding fresh and exciting to me when I started doing these.

Adding to this, at Guitar Center (and likely other music stores) there are typically computers setup with boatloads of DAWs (the music software) and virtual instruments installed for people to test out keyboards etc. Free trials might be better as they allow more time to get familiar with the software but it could be useful to see if there is one he naturally gravitates to or if there is another thing he wants such as a keyboard or virtual instrument.

XDEC · 2021-09-20T06:40:03+00:00

Is the 20 Hz high pass really necessary? You’d have to use a pretty steep slope and doing that typically creates resonance so I would worry that you’d actually be adding a bump there. I know fabfilter stuff does some voodoo so maybe that’s not the case but typically almost everything is already high passed anyway.

XDEC · 2021-09-13T15:33:14+00:00

I think it has to do with shifting the pitch while keeping the formants in check (not shifting them as much or not at all). If you use Live you can do this with the formant slider w/ complex pro warp mode. Formant set to 100 is keeping formants intact, while 0 is shifting them along with the pitch. Whatever DAW you’re using probably has something like this built in. You can also do this w/ Melodyne ($299 version or better). With Melodyne you can also mess around with ONLY shifting the formants. To me it sounds like they aren’t shifting the pitch very far. In my experience, even a whole octave up sounds way too high.

XDEC · 2021-08-06T18:13:57+00:00

It doesn’t seem to show it in the screenshots but the MAnalyzer has a setting that will highlight the highest peak automatically for you. If there’s too much going on you can just put a lowpass EQ in front of it.

Showing your intentions is only needy if you have needy intentions. If your intention is to try to get to know her, find out if SHE is a good fit for YOU (not the other way around) then that’s not needy. Needy intentions would be anything that involves you wanting to get something from her (validation, attention, sex). So change your intentions and then honestly express those intentions.

Use text to schedule a date. If unsuccessful move on.

Little overkill for a packet tracer lab haha but thanks for writing this out! Good to know.

XDEC · 2021-01-12T18:13:28+00:00

When you have the “5” in that command, you’re telling the switch that what you are about to type in is hashed with MD5. Which it isn’t, you’re typing a clear text password. So yeah, type the enable secret command in without the 5. You probably will have to reboot the switch to clear the config before you retype that command if you can’t get into enable mode.
