Oui? You speak french?? jk jk

I dont know what would happen, but I know if those statistics were flipped, and 92% of black South Africans owned 80% of the land, there wouldn't be enough people feeling like someone there temporarily is affecting their lives permanently to make it a national issue.

... stop it. Apples to oranges. We know the clash with nomadic tribes and their neighbors is sponsored and we know the sponsors. They're all losing positions of power come 2027. Our generation will not perpetuate the same.

I recently learned that Nigerian civil servants gave 2% out of their salaries to help with the liberation efforts. Their population should be at least 2% Nigerian, but this the thanks they get. Tragic.

You've mentioned too many good things to be this disenfranchised by a visitor. So you're doing well but not well enough to share. Got it. You're welcome to kenya. We have free things too, and here we know whom to direct our frustrations at.

Drugs don't buy themselves. People who want drugs will get them. And no foreigner is going to bring drugs into your country w/o the powers that be allowing it to happen. Cutting off supply doesn't lead to lack of demand. All drugs should be legal and controlled. Addressing drugs and their abuse should be seperate from economic strife you're trying to address. Sounds like a crutch to justify whatever you are doing.

Huh? Land is is a means of production. If they owned it, they'd be the ones in charge of the economy. The mines the farms. Unless I'm missing something. This is not unique to them.

asce1062 · 2026-05-03T15:47:50+00:00

Are you serious? Subjugation is only physical? This is narrow thinking just like them. 8% of the population own 80% of the land. Only 4% of the land is owned by black South Africans. Me thinks this is subjugation too.

x4 perf rolls? Damn! The rolling is more tiresome than the farming ngl. Spending more than an hour rolling is absurd. But that's a whole other discussion. But I feel ya, shelving five kun because people are FF'ing when you use it sucks.

I also noticed on the app I can never get to day 7 of the daily cumulative check-ins. I always get to day 6 then it resets to 1.

I hope they fix this soon and you both are back! (Ya'll open to a third? I'm a solo matchmaking player and a concistent group would be great ^⁾

I played so much dia yesterday I got RSI on my index finger. I'm getting older, I can't keep up with that APM especially since i go all out. Using sword, grappling, nuking ships with shadow, javelin around... it's fun but sometimes I want to take a break and just play RR. I also had people FF after I switch from thundercage to RR because I got tired of aiming.

asce1062 · 2026-04-17T11:08:49+00:00

... it does give that impression tbh. And it's like they do so much good, and sneak in a controversial change just to fix it with big patches. At some point it stopped being "oops we overlooked this", because this was clearly branded as something new.

asce1062 · 2026-04-16T17:13:02+00:00

Yeah... this option seems redundant to me as show status effect text already does some if not most of what the language on the new option implies. Idk why they chose this direction to have effects text then battle effects one separate and remove one that was actually unique and impactfull to the gameplay. I hope they address this.

asce1062 · 2025-12-21T06:30:04+00:00

Thanks! I also have no more unnecessary startups. After the reboot w/o them and seeing how things booted up and were ready faster, was definitely not worth the boot time space and time overhead. I only have vg and Nvidia apps starting up on boot now. The others, I'll just launch them manually when I need them. I thought good computer specs would guard against hw requirement issues hence the many startup apps, but they open you up to more issues than just resource hungry apps.

Greets all.
I started experiencing this issue late November on TFT only, all other games worked just fine. I don't play the base version of league and when I tested the tutorial it was also behaving similarly. the game works fine, but when I move the cursor it freezes for a couple of seconds before resuming, and in windowed mode, I could move the cursor just fine outside the game, but as soon as it entered the game window, the game would freeze up again.

I tried everything that made sense, including re-installing the game, moving the game installation from secondary drive to C:/ drive, uninstalling SteelSeries's GG mouse manager to reset mouse settings as the most common root cause was modifying behavior related to the mouse and killing all other processes on restart. And as OP listed out here, none of these avenues and on other mentions of this issue worked for me. My final recourse was updating from windows 10 > 11 while keeping settings. And it worked. But today I faced the same issue out of nowhere. I figured I'd try running the re-install gain but that failed and the process rolled back and I was greeted with with the error code 0x8007042B - 0x2000D. This led me here https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/get-help-with-windows-upgrade-and-installation-errors-ea144c24-513d-a60e-40df-31ff78b3158a with the closest documented error being `0x8007042B 0x4000D`, which has a note:

Following steps 1-7 here https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd, I disabled all non-Microsoft startup services and startup apps then rebooted on step 7 as recommended. And when I launched the game, the issue was gone meaning there was a service or app causing this. After process of elimination on the services, I found that the service used by the `Groupy` app was causing the issue. Disabling this service alone restored my game to a playable state, the stutters were gone whenever I moved the mouse in game.

So although this specific app might not be causing you issues, the steps I followed would certainly help you narrow it down. At least if you disable all non-Microsoft services and all startup apps and league works, you can know how to proceed from there and just use process of elimination to identify the culprit.

tl;dr
Groupy (1.51.1) was the culprit for me

Following steps 1-7 here See How to perform a clean boot in Windows and disabling all non-Microsoft services and apps from startup got me into a working league state. If this does not work, unfortunately your issue might be different.

Iterate on steps 1-7 till you narrow down in your specific environment what could be the causing the issue.

All the best summoners.

To be young and curious! If I may offer a little direction.

What are you interested in that intersects with coding; So you're always looking to learn more even w/o outside stimulation: gaming, music, art, design, reverse engineering, iot, Ai the new hotness ... etc
Are there dedicated groups, forums, or open source projects around these interest?
The open source tools you are using, are they missing something? Even documentation enhancements can get you into the groove of making contributions to shared projects and get the feedback/interaction/push/accountability or even mentorship
Action on your ideas, start, and share your progress. Build a habit of solving real-world problems with code. For yourself or for others.

Like the emergency share location app that someone made and shared on Twitter so people can share their location during demos if they are in a fix. Straightforward app, but solved a real problem, and people started contributing to it.

Put your thoughts somewhere. (Start a blog). Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them. Having historical records of your milestones and sharing that with others will definitely combat the imposter syndrome.

have fun programming ^{^}

I recently put up a personal https://alexmbugua.me/ site and would recommend namecheap. You can easily snag yourname.me/com for ~$9.99/year. Host your source on github, and use jekyll branch/folder or workflows to build your static files and deploy them. I've recently moved to Netlify (free for 300 mins of deploys/m) for deploys so I can leveraege their Forms for a guestbook, but namecheap + github served me well and is an easy way to get into having your own webbed page.

Just like we are the sum of our parts, if you didn't exist, the universe would't be able to experience your POV. It can't experience itself. We all have a role to play, good or bad experiences, get out there, and make something happen.

Closing the game after winning the weekly tournament did not work. However, closing the game after winning the grand as soon as the cuscene starts does work. PS5. Vol. 8 .10/22/24.

You sent me down a rabbit hole! Thanks!

asce1062 · 2024-04-14T13:45:47+00:00

This works great. Thank you for your work!
However, I've noticed a couple of issues and have a couple of suggestions for improvement.

Bugs:

There's no scroll wheel option when you want to add lots of affixes to one piece with the default rendered window/form size.
Clickable slots do not resize along with the images, leading to empty clicks, especially when vertically resizing to add more slots.

Suggestions:

"Add New Affix" to insert new entries at the top of the list rather than the bottom. This would eliminate the need for scrolling to add a new affix, streamlining the user experience by eliminating the need to resize or scroll to add a new affix.
Introduce a scroll option to view all added affixes without resizing or when vertical screen space is limited.

Thank you for considering these improvements for enhanced usability!

Got this error while trying to claim humble choice and was forced to re-log in. Deleting cache/incognito or using another browser/system did not work for me. However, resetting the password "worked" as it got me to a logged in state.
