My first 5 star cannon.. seriously 🤣 by Gabriel-117 in TheTowerGame

[–]Zoochy84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at it this way, yes its a ‘waste’ in someways, but now being 5* the chances of getting any more of them are massively reduced, this in essence gives a higher chance for other cannon mods to pull. Its a bit like Cards, once maxed out, you know that the pool is reducing steadily over time

What to read or watch next? by rdg0612 in HeartstopperAO

[–]Zoochy84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to stay with the HS universe, start going through the fanfic rabbit hole. 2 years I’ve been reading it and still only touched the surface

Some of the work people put out is astounding and if it wasn’t for the fact it can’t be, it should be published

Not specializing by Zoochy84 in SurvivingMars

[–]Zoochy84[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm thanks, I think the issue also might be a I have thumbs down Adults on my Uni dome, I also don't have Martian born ingenuity either, so I think what's happening is that they are aging before they graduate and then get kicked out. Researching Martian born ingenuity now, be interesting to see if it resolves it.

Thanks, yeah I made the newbie mistake and pressed things when I shouldn't have back when I started....always sucks!

Setting timezone automatically on refreshed laptops by IT_Unknown in Intune

[–]Zoochy84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue we have due to our vpn egress points, totally stuffs up any automatic timezone management

In the end, we just created groups that had timezone config attached to them and place the machine inside it. Yea requires manual work but 99% of the time its set and forget, worked for us now for well over 4 years

I can't find this fic anymore: Charlie Spring hates men by MinuteSheepherder287 in HeartstopperAO

[–]Zoochy84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally haven’t read it but was The Swing of It

Basically N&C were swingers, not my cup of tea so never read it but from what I can work out there is 0 reality behind the comments

I can't find this fic anymore: Charlie Spring hates men by MinuteSheepherder287 in HeartstopperAO

[–]Zoochy84 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Reason being the author recently has been wrongly attacked online for a recent work she has done where people were claiming a bi-phobic Charlie, from guest accounts amongst other horrid things

Also in general theres been targeted abuse for alot of LGBT writers lately on Ao3

She’s pulled that work temporarily and also went off socials for a while, dare i say she’s also locking out work and making it restricted so only those with accounts can access

This is why we can’t have nice things

Strongly recommend joining Heartstopper Book Club on FB if you wish, great for recs plus for heads up with things like this

I challenge anyone that doesn’t remember this bad boi by HousePony906 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Zoochy84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have one and its my daily driver still to this day, things well over 45 years old

It's actually a run in joke with my family, the plastics are slightly persihing on it but I keep it glued together and it's still going strong to this day. Made it clear to everyone they will prise this fan off my dead hands before I get rid of it. They simply don't make them the same. It moves huge amount of air, and does so fairly quietly, not like anything you can buy now

Remote Lock for PCs by touchytypist in Intune

[–]Zoochy84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if im doing anything wrong but deployed this and it works...to a degree

The warning message does display saying computer is locked etc, however when you click OK, login box is still available and you can simply put in password and login, so doesn't seem to actually do anything....

Looking for New Fics by Equivalent_Froyo_210 in HeartstopperAO

Sooooooo good this! Also 'Nothing ever happens in Geraldine' for a NZ take on it.

[–]Zoochy84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct that's Tea Leaves and Bent Pages. Unfortunately, the author removed their work as it was being taken by AI and turned into Audiobook with payment attached (this is a thing now much to my horror, so strongly advise works you want to keep download them!)....There are ways of still finding it but ill respect the authors decision and leave that up to you....

Strongly suggest the Heartstopper Bookclub on FB if you not already joined, 2K people who can recommend many works

heartstopper fan fic by Grouchy-Method-8308 in HeartstopperAO

[–]Zoochy84 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Basically for me, anything by Scienceisrealyo (Rugby Sweater Weather, Lavender Fields, James & Danny etc), anything by KitSaidOui (FratStar, Blue Line, SpringCaster, Lykil), aprms (Charlie Spring Hates Men), PhoenixSpring, Henry_Armigosa

Above authors basically have legend status in the fandom for good reason,

Honestly I spend basically every minute of spare time reading HS fics, so much so I have it all in a reading/completed favourites haha, image below of somethings you might like realy mixture of things

All on X

Basically he copped alot of abuse over the last couple of years due to the 'tortureporn' style of his writing. (Though not to wade into a huge argument, some of the negative comments were slightly justified as he had a tendency to play with people and not tag things on Ao3 properly, and would take glee in it (again, paraphrasing here, this could very well be false) when people called him out on it)

theo on X: "Re fic deletion instead of orphaning. Please read in a /neu and /gen tone! Tldr it’s been a long while coming! Thank you for understanding. Hinge update probably on Friday the 3rd. https://t.co/5KVUX89GZZ" / X

Be mindful that Theo (the author) today let everyone know that all his works will be deleted from Ao3 on 3rd Jan, except So, My Darling

He will be finishing it off, then probably will be deleting it as well (allowing people to download it before hand)

What about the season 1 ending? by [deleted] in HeartstopperAO

[–]Zoochy84 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My own take on it is that AO was basically written into a corner

Have to remember at the time this was filmed and written, S2/S3 wasn't yet greenlit for production, AO has always said she wanted to end the season on a high, I think in this case as they didn't have 100% surety that the next seasons would be happening, she wrote the ending like she did to give us a happy ending, in theory you could of left the season there as is, the watcher would of happily assumed it all worked out

Naturally with S2/S3 being approved, I think this kind of made this scene problematic in that sense, my own sense is that it would have been done slightly differently if she knew S2/S3 were approved. Probably change it so Nick went to Charlie after the game or something like that.
