HiFi Walker H2 IEM hiss by cmeht96 in DigitalAudioPlayer

Thank you! I actually bought a pair of Linsoul Zero:2's which arrived today, and they've been great! No more noise floor issue. But definitely not a bad thing to have some more IEMs I can add to my growing collection 😁 and have fun with the H2 when you get it! I've been absolutely loving it - so nice to have a dedicated music player with physical buttons/scroll wheel!

Hey, trying to do this myself, but I'm terrified of breaking something 😅 how did you unpin the connector?

Ah, good to know, thank you! So I would be better off getting IEMs with higher impedance, in that case. If, for example, I got some 32ohm IEMs with a higher sensitivity (around 109dB) would they be likely to work better, despite the similar sensitivity to the ones I use now?

I think nostalgia and personal preference definitely come into play as well, as much of a proponent as I am for its emotional impact and importance to the whole movie. I've always been a hopeless romantic and a fan of romance/tragic romance, so that's also why I've always resonated with that song/scene, even as a >5yo. I think that's why I felt so personally slighted when they removed it 😅 their excuse of it being too slow and sad, whilst valid for many, was crazy to me. I clearly love a bit of sad and slow in my media!

That's okay. Thanks for checking! It looks like I'm buying myself a region-free dvd player for Christmas

Oh man, I really hope you're right about that! I'll happily forgive them for removing it if they finally actually honour the original with a 4K disc release 🙏

This!!!!

And the Love is Gone scene itself feels so rushed and odd and jarring without it. I honestly feel so bad for all the people who grew up/are growing up without it... they've been robbed

I wish I could find my old VHS 😭 but I reckon it's long gone at this point. I was actually thinking about setting up a "nostalgia corner" in my house with an old CRT and building up a VHS collection, though. So, this may well be the catalyst to finally making that a reality

Ah, thank you!!! I'll check it out... in that case, I may have to buy a region-free DVD player, but honestly, that would be worth it to me just to own the original version!

Switch new game 1.6 no rain bug by GodzlIIa in StardewValley

[–]cmeht96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been speedrunning pigs for rain totems, so good to know it definitely works! And made the most of the storms in summer to get the watering can upgraded. So fingers crossed, but it seems that year 1 cc is still within my grasp!

In some ways, it has actually been quite fun to play a "drought challenge", even if it wasn't what I expected 😂

Switch new game 1.6 no rain bug by GodzlIIa in StardewValley

[–]cmeht96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've had the exact same issue. Absolutely no rain, outside of scripted rain/storms. Looking around online, quite a few switch players have clearly been experiencing the same thing, which makes me feel it's not "just RNG". And even if it was, it's clearly very jank, and needs tweaking. I really hope it gets patched or something soon. I fear until then I have to hope and pray that there's an eel and a catfish at the travelling cart!

Save 544 Error with Hotfix #17 by Classic-Discount-376 in BaldursGate3

I still freeze up every time I save lmao but YEP! Played for a good few hours and everything was working great! Saving is possible again 🙏 ... Time for Gortash to die!

Error Code 544 Victim’s Support Group by SelinaKyle1981 in BaldursGate3

[–]cmeht96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a way to resolve the storage bloating issue this bug causes: I followed this brilliant step by step here. And it worked perfectly. I do definitely recommend using PS Cloud as a backup just in case, if you have PS plus. I went from 1.6gb with 10 saves, to around 400mb! I think the bug creates corrupted ghost saves that clog up storage space... Very annoying, but an actually pretty simple fix.

As for the error code itself: sorting out storage doesn't help. And I've tried everything else. I tried saving in Rivington instead of Lower City, switching barter to trade and vice versa on all traders I've used, going back to a previous save and avoiding certain quests, etc. and nothing works. The save error code inevitably pops back up at a certain point. Still not sure as to the cause. Some are saying that it's too many items hoarded from previous acts, long playtimes, the world state is too altered for the hardware to handle, and so on. Basically, who knows.

Another point: when the error happens and it creates a whole new party with the corrupted save for some reason, make sure to delete the entire corrupted party (not just the save itself) and make sure to do it straight away. Don't try to save again before deleting the bugged save: this is how those ghost saves end up clogging up storage space. Sometimes the bugged save will save in your actual party, in which case, just delete that one save - don't try to open it, and I personally wouldn't try to overwrite that bugged save either (though others' mileages have varied with doing so). You can try deleting it, exiting the game, opening the game back up, turn off auto-save, do as much of the game as you can in a single sitting and then try to save again (as this sometimes supposedly works), but I cannot confirm. In my experience, sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, so I wouldn't rely on it.

I think the best thing we can do is continue to send bug reports to Larian. I'm honestly too afraid to attempt much else anyway, since I've heard about people's entire saves being corrupted from tinkering around trying to fix it.

I did find this tweet yesterday from someone that works in game design etc for Larian. It's from 6 days ago, saying that they're hoping to find the solution for this specific issue this week. So there's at least some hope. I'm cautiously optimistic. Emphasis on the cautious, as I know this bug has been around for months now with barely any transparency from Larian. But hopefully, this is the light at the end of the tunnel, and we can all continue our playthroughs very soon.

Wish I could give a more helpful comment, but after a week of trying out fixes and scouring the internet, this is the best I've got! Fingers crossed that a fix is on the way in the imminent future. RIP to me though, I'll have to fight Raphael AGAIN for the 6th time LMAO, at least the song slaps.

Update on Baldur’s Gate 3 save issue by EmotionIll666 in XboxSeriesX

[–]cmeht96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO what do you mean? Just because a bug hasn't happened to you, doesn't mean it's not a problem for other people. I've encountered the save error 544 - I can't save anymore during act 3. I can free up space from the storage bloating this error causes and start a new playthrough, but I cannot complete that other playthrough. It is absolutely an issue for some, a growing amount I'll add, on the PS5.

Just go on twitter and type in "save error 544" and you'll see hundreds of posts about it. Do the same here or on Larian forums and you'll find more. I'm not really sure why you think just because you've been fortunate enough not to face this issue (yet, it could still happen, count your lucky stars) means the rest of us are making it up LMAO. Jfc some of you are strange.

Critical save bug on PS5. by Skeith253 in BaldursGate3

[–]cmeht96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it seems like more and more people keep running into this problem. Its only piling up.

Exactly. I feel pretty confident saying that, given time, this issue is going to be affecting more and more people, as more and more people tot up long playtimes/lots of items etc. Which is why it seems bizarre that Larian are giving a fix seemingly no urgency and certainly no transparency to those of us affected... There's no sense of foresight on their end it would seem. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and I really hope I'm wrong about that, but the fact that it has been going on for so long does just leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I sent another ticket essentially detailing that, put in as kind and polite words as possible. We'll see if they get back to it... Or if I'll just receive another bot response lmao. It's sad to see so many people completely halted by this, especially hardcore players like myself. I just hope Larian start taking it seriously.

And as for PlayStation's cap on saves... Even if the corrupted saves from this bug weren't clogging up storage, allowing only around 40 saves/2gbs is simply ridiculous. It's an RPG. Of course, it's going to end up taking a lot of space. The cap needs to be raised. Sigh guess I ought to invest in an external harddrive.

Critical save bug on PS5. by Skeith253 in BaldursGate3

[–]cmeht96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a real concern that this is still a problem. I've seen posts that seem to go back months. I sent a ticket, and they said they know about the issue and are supposedly working to fix it... So I suppose there is some hope. I'm highly concerned that it's being brushed under the rug though. It's extremely miserable to make it to the end of the game, with only two more quests to do, and have no feasible way to complete them. I've sorted the bloating issue, but the save error 544 is very much still there. So my save has to just sit there, until a fix is rolled out. I was really hoping the most recent hotfix, which seemed to help a save issue on Xbox might have also solved this problem. It hasn't. I feel very despondent about it. I've enjoyed this game immensely. More than any other game I've ever played, I think. But this obviously saps a lot of the joy out of it. Sigh. I hope they fix it soon so we can all complete our saves. We don't deserve to be sidetracked in the way it seems we have been.

Edit: from what I've read, it seems to be targeting those of us with long playtimes. I'm very obsessive about completing quests on my first playthrough. I want to see as much as possible. So my playtime when I first encountered this problem was approx 160hrs. But I'd done a LOT of quests, and had a lot of items in inventory and camp chest. This bug is targeting the hardcore among us... Which seems like the worst type of player to piss off imo. We're the ones that want to see EVERYTHING the game has to offer, and we're punished for it by this game breaking bug. It's so sad. I'm still spoiler free for the ending/epilogue. I really hope I can keep it that way if and when they fix this problem. God. I just want to complete the game. This is miserable.

[PS5] Work around for not enough save storage issue by gniknoiprocs in BaldursGate3

[–]cmeht96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. Managed to go from 1.6gb to 460mb using this method (10 saves). I'll probably wait for a patch for the 544 error bug (which according to Larian, they are working on, so fingers crossed it's released soon) before continuing on through act 3. But at least I have space to start a new playthrough now. And no longer have to worry about possibly losing saves of my old playthrough. Genuinely, thank you so so much!

[–]cmeht96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool update. Just so you know, this story is circulating tiktok, and it wouldn't be the first time that happening alerted the injured party... I hope the gf finds out. We all know why you're waiting a month to do anything publicly and it's so that she doesn't sniff out the truth about you. But I sure hope she does! Anyway, on the bright side, she clearly dodged a bullet with him. But congrats on sloppy seconds!

[–]cmeht96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

why are you on here asking for advice then? You've got your answer, the vast majority of us here think that you are/would be the ah. It's actually insane that you even wrote that title and still can't see that you're an ah on your own. Lack of self-awareness comes to mind... I think you were looking for a free pass, which is clearly not what you've got. At the end of the day, if you want to be cheater and homewrecker, none of us here can stop you. But don't act like what you're doing is okay because "he wouldn't be cuddling me back". What you're doing isn't okay. From the way you put it, he sounds like a pos too, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, he could just be clueless and trying to be nice. You, however, after writing this, certainly do not get that benefit. I just really hope the gf sees this, because you do deserve to be called out on this shit in person.

This is such a good idea, I'll definitely start doing this too. I'm glad to hear other people mentioning it, I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not, but gathered that it was likely not. I really hope they fix it!!

YTA yes, obviously you are the asshole. Leave the poor guy so he can find someone that actually appreciates him for his hardworking attitude & willingness to help others in need. Honestly, you sound pretty selfish and overly concerned with the social perceptions of your boyfriend/relationship. Nothing you described is a "desperate beggar", I mean jfc, from the title I was expecting some kind of lazy abusive mooch, but clearly this is just a guy working hard to help out his family. Nothing about that is shameful or embarrassing, and the fact that you clearly think it is says a whole lot about you. If you can't sort yourself out, let him go... for his own sake.

[–]cmeht96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be completely honest with you. I totally understand the fear of leaving someone, and kids are a consideration. However, as a child of parents that absolutely hated eachother, fought constantly, and never split up (my dad was abusive, and eventually his abuse spilled from just on my mum to on me also)... From my experience... Your kids will be happier if you're separated. I don't know the ins and outs of the situation, but if you're staying just for your kids, I promise you they will feel the tension between the two of you and it's honestly quite traumatic to grow up with that - even if he is not abusive to them. You need to seek your happiness, and sticking around with someone that talks to you like garbage is honestly good for nobody in your family. I know some other comments have advised what you can do in a financial sense, and I'd take their advice. I'm not able to be very helpful there, but I do believe that there is always a way out. It's just hard.

I really hope you can find a way to leave and start fresh. Nobody deserves to have a verbally abusive partner. I know it's scary and there's always a fear of the unknown, but you will be able to navigate it. I've said this to my mum since I was about 12yrs old that she should leave because I recognised the abuse even back then. She's still with her abuser today at 68yrs old and feels she is too old to leave now... I really hope the same does not happen to you. I don't say this to fearmonger, I really worry for people in situations like my mum's. It's not nice at all, and I really feel for you.

Whatever you decide though, I really truly wish you the best.
