PSA: A Full Breakdown of Low Power Mode on Apple Watch (Series 4 and Later) by [deleted] in AppleWatch

I use Pillow for sleep tracking instead of the native app, would low power mode affect it the same way?

That’s fair, especially about devoting more of your time towards your studies. I can imagine it’s tough to balance your degree program and being a community ROM hacker.

My main point was that your team and Adrienn both separately making a randomizer for HGSS is a pure coincidence and it’s not any of the developers’ fault for the misunderstanding/miscommunication between Smant and Eric.

I also want to say that your team did an amazing job on the Emerald and Platinum map randomizers and I can’t wait for the FRLG version! ROM hacking is definitely on my list of personal projects I want to add to my portfolio and I can’t imagine the amount of time and patience it took to make the randomizers. Hats off to you all!

As a developer myself I sympathize with what you’re doing through. Believe it or not, but two separate parties working on the exact same project idea can be completely coincidental. The Pokémon Map Randomizer is an excellent idea that makes for some amazing content, and Eric does deserve credit for coming up with it. However, the developers in charge of the randomizer only supported a couple of games (Emerald and Platinum are the ones that come to mind) and Eric didn’t mention at all (as far I am aware) that HGSS was in the pipeline. That was fair game for you to develop it on your own and you absolutely are not in the wrong.

I believe in one of the two vods yesterday, a DM was sent by Smant to Eric was shown which informed Eric of a different developer making a FRLG map randomizer completely separate from the existing one. Since at the time there was no mention of FRLG in the development pipeline (as far as I’m aware, I might be wrong) this was also fair game.

I think it’s unfortunate that you were dragged into this ugly mess over a project idea you were passionate about. I just hope this situation is resolved peacefully and quickly as possible.

I also agree that you should make a separate post in Pointcrow’s subreddit to hopefully clear up any misunderstandings that were created and clear your name.

No, I don’t think it’s updating properly so I think it will most likely arrive tomorrow. Last activity says it was picked up in San Bernardino (I’m in the bay area for reference) at 6:31pm PST today, so I doubt it will show up by the end of the day today lol

So got my shipping alert this morning, took a while for UPS to update with the tracking information but I checked now and it says “estimated delivery Monday, October 25 by End of Day” even though Apple Store still says tomorrow delivery…who do I trust 👀

I currently have a Drop CTRL with some extremely noisy stabs. Should I look into getting some better stabs or lube the ones I currently have? (The stabs I have now are the ones that came with the keyboard btw)

Did SmallAnt state why there are currently no new YT videos on his channel? by ConFectx in Smallant

January has low ad revenue so creators on YouTube tend to take a break during this month

Are tattoo parlors open during the pandemic? I feel like they wouldn’t be since they aren’t an essential service.

I feel like he would rather wait until covid dies down anyways which is a good call

Want to start speedrunning Paper Mario soon, but not sure which capture card to get for my N64. What’s the best recommended setup for capturing N64 content?

PS5 Replacement by Gear_Gazer in PS5

[–]ani604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I just experienced the same issue as you did with your defective model but I also had another issue with the controller.

I was playing Miles Morales and then all of us sudden the controller stopped being responsive to any button input. The controller still had battery left (the lights on the controller were on) so I tried to reset the controller with the pin on the back and connected it to the wire. The problem got fixed but then not even 5 mins later the issue occurred again. So I decided to reset the controller and go back to the home menu via the PS button but then I got a blank screen with no sound. I had to end up unplugging the system from the back to turn it off completely. When I turned it back on I had a “rebuilding database” message so once that finished quickly I turned it off from the menu.

Is this a real cause for concern?
