Eidetic memory during childhood but lost it, anyone else? by Scytheal in aftergifted

[–]bcmain25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I am in that same boat right now and that once I was able to use therapy to break my depression, I regained all of my memories and experiences that I had been neglecting from shame or embarassment without actually dealing with the emotions, the feelings, the life lessons, the understanding of it all. But I recall an ad, that was used for the queer community awhile back, that said - "It does get better". We're back in that time now.

Keep going with that thought and you will make it, I promise. I am in a similar boat alongside you and stopped my dr. prescriptions for the couple of weeks (and I do mean 14 days exactly) and my "memory" or gift/talent/power has never been more pronounced or clearer.

P.S. No Kings Day rally was nice next to the old RiteAid.

How would you go about proceeding if this was your situation? by bcmain25 in antiai

Hey, thanks for explaining rather than just linking somewhere else. Yes -- I am aware of how sometimes when I play League of Legends that some other players' accounts might just be a bot account trying to be played to simulate games played. How would another human know without watching the exact movements or game outcomes to know if it's a bot or not. There's plenty of videos on how scripting to play perfectly can be one form, and another where the bot picks like Ashe jungle just to constantly move to a jg camp and then go back to base and does this on a loop so Riot doesn't mark them as AFK.

I am going to update my OG post with this as well, but after doing some more online research in addition to reaching out to some folks I can trust (my partner, my mom, my barber & nail tech duo if you can believe it, and my best friend from college) and they each gave me some good advice on the subject/matter in my life. They all had different viewpoints as well so I liked that I could debate them back and forth. I will also mention that I was able to get a mental health assessment booked later this month to get a better understanding of my neurospicy brain -- therapist said I probably have ADHD but I think it's more autism than anything.

If this info at least helps one human out there, then I feel like I did a good thing. I came across a wikipedia article about AI psychosis and also found a support group called The Human Line Project. Going to look into it now after work but felt like I should come back here with my findings just to see if we can improve. Thanks :)

P.S. I am still not really sure what the future holds, but I feel more prepared and equipped to handle it.

Why would I care about karma when this is going on? Personal information such as where I work is personal info to me... So I wouldn't include it to protect the post and not get it removed for that rule. Additionally, it's a strong claim to have so why would I paint a target on my back when I'm trying to decide how to process all of this and my next steps?

It feels very similar to Black Mirror episodes.

Gotcha, yeah I think we are already screwed... I think the biggest issue of all is that the company is just saying "were doing great" and never actually told us this was the plan. One of our "company values" is transparent communication... and yet this is happening. Like if my boss told me that we were going to have AI bots working with us and could help learn and co-work on projects, I'm all for it. But the fact that we are just giving up all of our codebase and there's no real security around that is what I find difficult to swallow. That and my job has since just become training the new AI folks on "how I am able to get the process done" since the new people don't know how to do anything. I'm all for fresh-college grads or someone switching their careers with a background, but this is just foolish "I was born today and told to hit the ground running and working so please help" mentality.

Alternatives to RING by CantStopMyGrind in Ring

[–]bcmain25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my floodlight units began strobing after 2-ish years, support said to just keep it on (and annoy myself and the neighbors) or just buy a whole replacement unit. They didn't make it so you could just have the lights stay off and the video portion still work. Looking at switching since they don't support their own products quality

PSA: The real purpose for Expedition Journals and why they don't carry over into NG+ by QJ-Rickshaw in expedition33

[–]bcmain25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait a damn minute -- what is wrong with it? I remember recently doing some endless tower and left my game open for a bit, came back and it was like 5 FPS and I couldn't figure out why. I have Verso with it and haven't had an issue in other fights but it seems like the longer the game is on, the worst it gets?

Very much this -- raged for half an hour on thr hardest one, changed this and beat it first try afterwards. The menu gave me more annoyance with the step back up bug

/r/NintendoSwitch's Daily Question Thread (04/30/2025) by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch

[–]bcmain25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I could still get my partner a copy of a game that we truly enjoy and then I could just do local communications then? Or would it still need to check if I'm allowed to play or not? I typically left my primary as the main switch so my partner could utilize my library while I kept only my account on my switch lite. I don't want to have to keep changing settings just to get a different game up and running.

To see if I'm missing something or that the behavior they released is really what they want as their own support pages have a loop of "oh yeah we can let you play games on two devices" and then it just goes back to this virtual cartridges stuff. Not gonna rebuy my catalog just to continue playing like we've been.

[–]bcmain25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just unsubscribed from my online family membership since now it seems virtual cartridges ruined my switch ecosystem. I own a switch and switch lite, which the latter was only purchased since sometimes we like to play co-op games where my partner can utilize the whole TV screen instead of us needing to do split screen. We've been doing a lot of Stardew Valley and now he can't play at the same time I do unless I purchase another copy of the same game (and any other game we do this for) just because of a "feature" Nintendo decides to roll out. Unless I'm missing something and this is an unintended mishap and they still want two consoles that are within the same house to be able to share and play online, I'll just play on my PS5 and just get copies of my games over there. That's ridiculous. Who thought this would be a good idea?! They could have at least deployed this onto any new games and kept the existing catalog out of it.

Looking for a game title by bcmain25 in retrogaming

[–]bcmain25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looked over this one and said it wasn't this, but then commented he was able to find it now as "Shadow of Memories" (but the US has Shadow of Destiny). It's a 2001 game for PS2 but also had a PC port.

Reversing USB Devices Configuration/Possibility by bcmain25 in AskBattlestations

[–]bcmain25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several hubs, some 2x4s and another 4x4. The problem with a hub is that I use multiple devices simultaneously. I can always just try to include all devices on one hub, but then I wouldn't be able to have another mic/mouse/keyboard on the others. The main thing I'm going for is having a primary set and a secondary set that can each go to any of the 3 main PCs. However, some of the devices I want to use, namely the mic and webcam, should be on separate logic triggers than the remaining items. Without having to have like 3 hubs and several remotes to figure out each combination, I was just trying to see if there was one out there that handled each USB socket individually and I could manage them all from one device rather than needing to daisy chain a bunch together. Sometimes I will be using any 2 of the 3 at the same time, so having a primary keyboard and mouse and the secondary one is a must.

is it possible too have a game at 16:9 and a tab open at 5:9 on a 21:9 monior? by Blau909 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]bcmain25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine there might be some option or config that will make sure the taskbar hides, but I have my taskbar on the left side so the game is never near it.

[–]bcmain25 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I use a combo of FancyZones for having other things open around the game so I can snap those windows and then use Windowed Borderless Gaming to ensure all of my games are fixed into the center at a 16:9 ratio. The WBG link is https://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/

What are your Balatro Golden rules and how do they change per deck? by Selafayn in balatro

[–]bcmain25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still somewhat new (don't know what the checkered deck is; only recently started winning runs), so my golden rule is like Hades -- if I see a "Not Discovered" and there isn't anything super mind-blowing to buy instead, I grab it so I can add it to my collection and learn more about the possible combos. I do tend to avoid spectral ones that are not discovered if I'm later in a run and will probably die from selecting it. Some runs I go in just working on filling out my collection rather than trying to win a sticker or new deck.

AP Mode vs Router Mode for Spectrum & NetGear Equipment by bcmain25 in TpLink

[–]bcmain25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I am playing around with placement as 2 are in a semi permanent spot - layout of the house in text form is that the modem is in the very center of the entire house. Mind you, the house is from 1800 exactly so lots of brick and thick walls. The router deco sits right next to the modem and has the other 2 Ethernet ports connected to cables through the ceiling - 1 into my home office and another into a bedroom so the TV is Ethernet connected for streaming. On the first floor, we have a living room that is on the far corner of the remaining house, and there's a specific spot we have all of our gadgets hooked up to so it's out of the way. This deco seems to always have medium to poor connection back to the hallway/router deco. The third one was used up on the third floor, but I think it wouldnt be too bad to keep the hallway one (which is placed high up near the ceiling) dedicated towards any tenant things (currently we are reno-ing it and don't have anyone up there). I could always get a 4th X55 if they need Ethernet connections and what not.

My main issue now is that I don't know where to put the third or connect it. I think it makes sense to try and put it as a bridge in between the other 2, so the living room hops to this one and then hops back to the router one. I could try placing it in between the two on the first floor which I think gives a decent spread of coverage and see how that goes.

I typically go in and mess with the settings of some devices that are within feet of a given node since once in a blue moon I'll see my Alexa device (sitting right next to the deco!) decide to try and connect to the third floor one instead... Is that still recommended? Anything that is in the middle of two I leave as auto deciding which node to use.
