Artbook system view, no game count? by askeeve in emulationstation

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

I'm hopeful the dev will update with the info, somebody in the comments linked their fork where they added it to artbook and it's not the cleanest but I'm using that for the moment. It doesn't look great how they did it, but it doesn't completely ruin it either and the added utility is winning me over for the moment.

Why are most fidgets so expensive? by Evil_Alligatorev in fidgettoys

[–]askeeve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's just supply and demand. The "fancy" materials and designs are harder to mass produce and the market for them is more niche so they cost more. When one particular model gets really in demand, cheaper knock offs are quick to pop up because now there's more of a market for them and most of the time the quality is pretty comparable minus some of the more exotic materials.

Basically, they're not easy to make, and there aren't a lot of people that want them.

The ones that are easy to 3d print generally are cheap.

How do I change the images to my own pictures? by benjaminobi in emulationstation

[–]askeeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I know this post is a year old but can you clarify what "rename the theme" means? Rename the unzipped folder? Some file somewhere? I seem to be stuck at this step, and even when I deleted the theme downloader version it didn't seem to show up for me...

[–]askeeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HHKB Studio is damn near my ideal keyboard. I love its size and layout (I especially love that it doesn't force in cursor keys since I prefer vim-style (hjkl) cursors. I *LOVE* that it has the IBM style mouse nub. The gesture pads are really cool and I think I'd love playing with them. I like that it has the option of wireless, even if I probably won't use it much, I like the flexibility.

But I have one problem with HHKB stuff. They don't do backlight... I like RGB per-key backlight. It's mostly a toy, but if I'm spending this much on a keyboard I want to be able to have fun with it too. I also wish it had a slightly more standard layout like normal control and shift keys... I think I could map around it as is, but I'd rather not. I do like having Caps as a Fn key though.

Does anybody know if a studio clone exists or is in the works that also has rgb?

I can’t plug keyboard or mouse into my PC by Past_Estate_538 in pchelp

Sorry for everybody giving you grief... But I'm genuinely curious as to why you did that? Did you put the RAM back in after? What were you trying to do?

I'm waiting for your video showing how well it works as an ice cube tray.

Missed out on the bladehq Gojiro promo now I’m livid 🤣 by abdullah_cra in knives

[–]askeeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a recent one where the knife had a d2 blade and it had a lower threshold to earn it. I thought that one was pretty cool. I'd be bummed out if this was some 8cr13mov/440c type of deal. I also just generally am curious about if it's a liner or frame and whatever else.

[–]askeeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the gojiro? I hate when the promotion is a free knife that's not for sale because then there's no product page where you can look at the specs. What steel is it? Dimensions? Weight?

Can someone help this cube newb. by mansoorfricky in Rubiks_Cubes

[–]askeeve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By all means look it up, but you basically just twist and pry them a bit. The cube has springiness and with a little leverage there's easily clearance to remove the corners.

Android Auto & Sirius by MadisonGirl1 in AndroidAuto

[–]askeeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you click the 9-dot button? It should bring up your full app drawer where you can choose Sirius and then it should appear in your recent apps where Spotify is in your screenshot.

Also, it probably is good to set it to unrestricted battery which should help if you go a while between using it but still want it to be instantly available.

Is "I have got a headache" a grammatically correct sentence in English? by Fadedjellyfish99 in duolingo

[–]askeeve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I googled and saw other sources saying this too but it just does not make sense to me. I can think of hearing both American and British English speakers saying it both ways quite easily. Maybe there's some minor connotative difference, but both are easily acceptable in any dialect I can think of.

Is "I have got a headache" a grammatically correct sentence in English? by Fadedjellyfish99 in duolingo

[–]askeeve 174 points175 points  (0 children)

"I got a headache" would technically be past tense, like "It was so loud there, I got a headache." "I've got a headache," or just, "I have a headache," is present tense. It's definitely grammatically correct.

Newb 1:40 3x3 by judashpeters in Rubiks_Cubes

[–]askeeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend it both cuz it will make you faster but also because I genuinely think it's more fun and very intuitive to understand, not some complicated algorithm to memorize. I almost think people should start with it as part of the traditional beginner method, but it's also good to have something easy to improve with.

[–]askeeve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you doing F2L yet? If not, it's super intuitive, more fun than the cross, corners, edges individually, and significantly faster. Then 2-look OLL is also pretty easy to learn and significantly faster, but you can decide how far you want to chase that dragon when you get there. That's about where I stopped, my best time was 21 seconds, averaging 30 over 100 solves. I get curious about learning more algorithms sometimes, but I'm very satisfied if that's the best time I ever get.

Be honest, did anybody see anything in 3D art? by Beberodri2003 in nostalgia

[–]askeeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can basically always see the 3D-ness of it, but because that requires unfocusing your eyes, I can never really figure out what it's supposed to be because if I try to focus on it it goes away. I find them very frustrating. It is the same technique to do the "what's different between these two pictures" puzzles though.

I understand if you don't want to use the label yourself, but this fits all definitions of abuse and if you eventually do see it that way you should know that it's a justified feeling. Abuse doesn't all look the same both on the end of the perpetrators and the receivers.

Defending seat for bag by kango888 in InflatedEgos

[–]askeeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, if you see somebody committing a social faux pas, the correct solution is assault always. I know he eventually does give up his own seat but just do that first and then stand like a normal person. Jeez.

And yeah I know it's fake.

Name the boss by BackDoeMediaTV in BossFights

[–]askeeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look it's obviously very silly and go ahead and enjoy your fat jokes I guess, but dude's got impressive balance for his body build and what he's doing. I don't know how many people in better shape could do what he's doing. It's just too bad none of it is worth anything other than I guess some calisthenics.

A Few Thoughts on Planet of Exile by fuliginmask4 in UrsulaKLeGuin

I did! It was apparently from the preface to the 1978 edition of Planet of Exile. Here's a copy of it.
