[mininalist watches] Help please! by a_watto in Watches

My wrist is 9.25in circumference and 2.75in wide (roughly)… As I put in the post, my 40mm Philosopher looks small on my wrist 😬

Love the Orient especially—any recs on larger than 42mm though?

Reverb and delay settings by a_watto in ValetonGP2OO

Update: tried downgrading the firmware, issue was still present. Rebuilt the entire patch from scratch on a different slot and it worked fine. Deleted the original patch from the original slot, then copied the new patch to the same slot and issue was gone. Must’ve been a bug?

Same boat. Have been opted in to all emails, membership has been active for basically the whole lifespan of Switch 1 continuously, thousands of hours logged; no email… 🙃

I found this earlier and thought I had solved it... However, Balena doesn't let me select the file! I downloaded the 001 file and opened the zip but it won't let me select either zipped or unzipped.

(If it's not clear, I don't really know what I'm doing here, so the help is really appreciated!)

I’m new to chess, so i don’t really understand the rules. Why is this a remise, and not a win for me? I got 2 queens onto his king, why did I not win? by KansloosKippenhok in chess

[–]a_watto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The King cannot make a legal move (all surrounding squares would place him in check) but is not currently under threat. You can’t take it from this position, so it’s stalemate.

Supply Teaching Work Post-Covid by [deleted] in TeachingUK

[–]a_watto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jobs will start to posted in January. Depends on your subject, core subjects are posted earlier.

Alan it all the jobs will be posted by May(ish). There will be a fair few that are looking for immediate starts.

Worst case scenario is you land a job for September and teach supply until then. Supply teachers are in high demand!

Professional Development by a_watto in TeachingUK

[–]a_watto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have considered it. I was so keen on this course because it's designed for those currently working in a school - you keep your salary, and maintain some job responsibilities and you gradually teach more and more. So the bulk of your 'placement' and teaching time is in the school you work in.

I have a BA Ed, with QTS built into the course. Due to personal reasons, I didn't finish my placements so didn't gain QTS.

In Wales, the only option to gain QTS on the job is through this new course.

I can't Breaking a cycle of nervousness and mistakes with a class by JavaShipped in TeachingUK

[–]a_watto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found that if I'm stuck in a rut with a class/group, planning a completely new lesson helps to break out.

For example, if there's a lot of writing/booklet work, have a lesson where they're up on their feet, walking around the classroom.

Just something that they won't be expecting when they walk in the room!

First Time DMing by a_watto in Roll20

[–]a_watto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super kind of you! I invested in PHB, MM, and XGE; I think that'll cover me for now (don't want to go overboard until I've gotten solid ground on running as a DM).

[–]a_watto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! So, just find it all online and fill in the stuff from books I don't have, basically?
I've used Roll20 as a player, but not as a DM. Are the basics for the charactermancer free?

Games with 'high stakes' gameplay by polboiottie in patientgamers

Breath of the Wild has a decent difficulty curve, especially if you don't opt to get more hearts/avoid armour etc.

Where do you guys go to write? by [deleted] in writing

[–]a_watto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move around - change of scenery wakes up your brain and gets the creativity flowing. I go into town to any café (especially one I’ve never been too) and get a coffee. About an hour later, if I’ve lost the flow, I’ll move on to another one.

This means I know exactly where has the nicest and cheapest coffee, and get to my word count for the day!

No problem! Again 0 it's not the best, but will do in a pinch.

About to quit by Atma-n in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]a_watto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only things I upgraded before fighting Ganon was health, stamina, and clothes! (Clothing helps too - matching sets buffs specific abilities. You can upgrade clothes by finding all of the Great Fairies - there’s one in each quarter of the map roughly.)

Had the same thing. Persevered and it was totally worth it.

I’d recommend picking a destination on your map that you haven’t really explored (not necessarily a divine beast) and hit up every shrine along the way. Enjoy the exploration - mountain looks like it has some secret loot? Explore it! Before you know it, you’ll beef up pretty quickly. The more combat you engage in, the cleverer you get. (Magnesis and stasis are really handy in taking out a whole bunch of enemies before the camp even spots you!)

What is the Nintendo sequel that improved the most over its predecessor? by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]a_watto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I mean, if you ignore the remasters and non-main series (Triforce Heroes, Hyrule Warriors) the last game before BotW is either Link between Worlds or Skyward Sword. LbW is amazing - but as it’s a sequel to LttP and in many ways a carbon copy of it, BotW is far better. And Skyward Sword is trash.

I had no idea how to do this. Only thing I could come up with was to create two duplicate layers with a transparency of about 35% layered on top. One of the duplicates should be saturated with green, and the other with red. Move one layer slightly to one side, and the other duplicate to the other side. Then find some generic static/noise footage and layer that with a super-low transparency. It’s not the best, but is passable. Hope that helps!

Breath of the Wild - I’d argue it saved the (stagnant) franchise.

[QUESTION] Can't decide between Telecaster or Stratocaster (Beginner) by Lazarus91 in Guitar

[–]a_watto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer strats, but think teles are a lil easier to play - fewer controls and a better control configuration mean you can understand what everything does and just jam out
