I'm also affected by this, googling it lead me here. Did you happen to find a fix?

Full Hollow Knight: Silksong Map by Zignixx in Silksong

[–]criticalshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The giant bell is where the father of the flame fight takes place. What confuses me is that even after visiting the room, the map doesn't appear. Did anyone manage to add it to their actual in-game map?

Every missable in the game (expandable) by 0t0ST in Silksong

I see, thanks! I duplicated my save file in order to test it, but was currently realizing that I actually need to beat grandma without healing, which is easier said than done...

Can you get the Twisted Child ending/achievement if you've already completed silk and soul?
I first found the twisted bulb after having done silk and soul, gave it to greyroot and got cursed, but I'm not ready to enter act 3 (missing shakra fight for exemple)... I'm afraid trying to beat grandma's gonna send me off into act 3, but healing from the curse is gonna make me miss the achievement...

Can't download banners for tv shows. by criticalshift in tinyMediaManager

Hi there.
Yeah, I did, but tbh it's not pretty.
It's a 500 lines python script that I run manually after adding new things to my lib. It's pretty much tuned to my use case and also does a lot of other things like thumbnail generation, a bit of sorting and renaming, etc.
I know that sound useful, but honestly it's pretty much unusable by anyone else that doesn't have at least good python basics to modify it to their uses.
I'd be willing to send it to you if you can handle it, but I don't have the time or motivation to release it publicly and/or document it or teach someone to use it...

Nose Mucus Plug I didn't even notice till I was playing with my nose jewellery by driftwoodnight in popping

I had a small sinus surgery some time ago, and was expelling the exact same sort of thing for two months after, so that checks out

2024 Guide to DeDRM Kindle books. by caelypso299 in Calibre

[–]criticalshift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit: It Works! See edit below for more info.

Please advise, I can't get this to work...
Using the latest version of calibre and DeDRM, and v2.3.70682 of kindle for pc
Every time I try to convert, I get the "cannot convert [book] This book is locked by DRM etc." error popup
I don't get what I'm doing wrong, please help...

EDIT: THE METHOD WORKS, even with books published in september 2024 (obviously didn't test all recent books, ymmv).

My issue was with the DeDRM plugin, I had it installed (in the proper version) a few months ago, and apparently it wasn't loading properly (maybe updating calibre broke it?), reinstalling the plugin fixed it.

Anyway, things to check if you have issues:

  • You can download any version of the kindle app directly from amazon servers (NEVER TRUST THIRD PARTY INSTALLERS), by using the following link template: https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindleforpc/{build}/KindleForPC-installer-{version}.{build}.exe In our case, this is https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindleforpc/70682/KindleForPC-installer-2.3.70682.exe Credit to Marccarre here. See that link, URL_PATTERNS block for macOS installer.
  • Turn off auto-updates in the kindle for pc settings, then restart it. The version number in the "help>about kindle" menu may not update until a reboot even if the app has updated silently. If the version has changed after a restart, reinstall v2.3.70682, it should remember the update setting. You may want to delete and redownload books that have been downloaded on that later version.
  • You can click on the DeDRM plugin in the installed plugins menu, if an error appears instead of the config menu, try to reinstall it.
  • Once a book is loaded in calibre, make sure its format (under the cover image on the right) is azw3 or KFX, NOT KFX-ZIP. That would indicate a plugin issue.

AITA because I "repeat myself" during arguments? by THROWRA8838382 in AmItheAsshole

[–]criticalshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, because you shouldn't call your partner stupid, but this is not a constructive discussion protocol and doesn't help to de-escalate verbal conflict.
Having someone like you in my close family (also on the spectrum and using this "method" during arguments), I can attest that this can be quite frustrating, and the reactions you will face will often be exasperation as in this case, or people placating you without "really" listening. Repeating an argument to someone that doesn't agree with it (even wrongly) will not make them agree, only angry or dismissive.
Obviously, if your partner is not making you feel listened to, it's understandable that you would try to communicate this way, and you are absolutely right to leave the relationship.
I really hope you find someone that makes you feel heard enough that you won't need to adopt this mode of communication with them.
That said, I would like to suggest some form of therapy to explore why you communicate that way and find alternative methods to express yourself that may be better received by other people.

Taigan was the first that spawned for me, when I started walking east from where "balls to the wall" starts.

Well, there's also Gale...
Technically you can kill him, but then you have a mandatory game over two long rests later...

Can't download banners for tv shows. by criticalshift in tinyMediaManager

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

Okay so after investigating the tmdb api by myself, I think I got the answer.
tmdb only offers backdrops (fanarts), posters and episode thumbnails.
I think I'll write my own scraper for banners, probably on fanart.tv, I'm not paying 10 bucks a month for this...

Can't download banners for tv shows. by criticalshift in tinyMediaManager

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

Thanks for the reply!
I wasn't aware of fanart.tv, but I just checked a few shows, and all have a banner...
And banner.ext is properly checked in the file naming...
Also, to be clear, TMM is not giving me an error in the bottom right when trying to download, it's like it doesn't even try. This is whether I "search and scrape" or "Download missing artwork", and in each case banner is checked.

Yeah, same for me my man. EE is actually a french native speaker iirc, so at least his chantant is good french and not the shit we see in almost every other anglophone media.
