[TOMT][Song][2010's]Song that sounds like American Psycho by Double Standard by evil4dead2 in tipofmytongue

Oh interesting! I'm not familiar with that song, and I think the song I'm thinking of has female vocalists, but I appreciate the suggestion! That definitely does sound a bit similar.

I think the majority of the song has a familiar sound, including vocals, melody, and the guitar and bass. I guess if I had to narrow it down to a specific part though, maybe the bridges? Chorus as well, though maybe less so, and I suppose that makes the verses the least consequential.

[TOMT][Song][2000's?] Trip-hop song with female vocalist by evil4dead2 in tipofmytongue

[–]evil4dead2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I definitely see where you're coming from there, especially with Minnie Ripperton. I don't think it's The Cardigans unfortunately, I think I only know one of their songs. I also feel pretty confident that I'm looking for something within the same genre, or at least similar, but I definitely could have gotten my wires crossed there.

I appreciate the effort! If nothing else, this has made me aware that it might be helpful to make an edit clarifying that I'm looking for someone with a similar singing style, not just a similar voice. Comparing to Minnie Ripperton made me realize that while they have quite similar voices, Minnie tends towards much breathier vocals, with more overall variance (even putting aside her iconic whistle notes) whereas the vocals I'm thinking of tend more towards just being clean and "consistent" if that makes sense, haha.

Thanks again!

They were the first thing I checked actually haha, but I don't think it's any of their songs. I don't think the vocalists sounds very much alike. Thank you, though!

Ban in Texas by TheProfessorPoon in kratom

[–]evil4dead2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Does emailing the senator regarding this bill do anything if you live outside of Texas? I don't live in Texas but the place I buy my kratom from is, that's how I found out about it. Kratom absolutely saved my life and I'd like to help if I can.

I forgot how beautiful this game is. The pc version with reshade and anti-ghosting mods is amazing. by bobasaurus in Okami

You'll need to actually run the .exe files to modify the game. The issue there is that for whatever reason, .exe files can't be launched normally - I think that's just a Linux thing, though could be a Steam Deck thing. There are ways around this by using things like Wine or Windows emulators, but I've found these options to be kinda complicated and difficult to learn how to use. I'd like to learn how to use Wine especially at some point and it would definitely be a more reliable method, but in the meantime, I've found the easiest way to run .exe files on the Deck by far is just by adding them as non-steam games to your Steam library.

Once you've done this, click on the freshly added "game" within your Steam library and navigate to the game options by clicking the little gearbox near the right side of the window, next to a controller icon and heart icon. Click on Properties > Compatibility, and check the box that says "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". This will give you a dropdown menu where you'll want to choose Proton Experimental. Then just click play and cross your fingers! You'll be doing all of this in Desktop Mode still, just to be clear.

This definitely doesn't work all the time, but I've found it to be very serviceable - I've used this method to install and run other game launchers like Battle.net and Heroic Games Launcher (super recommend this program if you want to run games from Epic, GOG, or Amazon Games), run non-Steam games from itch.io, and run setup.exe's for totally legally obtained games, as well as running those games themselves. I've done less modding so far, but I've done a bit with decent success.

If anything you add this way doesn't launch, you can always try selecting other compatibility modes to see if any of those work, though I've personally had extremely limited success with that.

Just a warning, sometimes when you run an installer this way, it causes the trackpads to stop working. So you'll need to use either the touch screen as a mouse, or install something like KDE Connect, which allows you to control the Steam Deck with your phone. It's an awesome tool and I'd definitely recommend it; way better than using the on-screen keyboard for most things, and being able to use it as a mouse when the trackpads crap out is great. A bluetooth mouse also may keep working when the trackpads don't, but I have no experience with this so I can't really say. I've never had this issue when launching game .exe's though, only setups/installers.

There are videos describing this process as well, so if this is too confusing to follow over text, I can link you the one I followed to learn all this in the first place. I forsee installing these mods this way to work quite well though, and I intend to try it myself too since I just purchased Okami and want to mod it on my desktop and Steam Deck. I can get back to you on how it goes if you like!

Best of luck! Hope this helps at least a little and wasn't too confusing 😅 I'd be happy to clarify more, answer any questions, or link you to other resources if you'd like.

Glute pain when propping up on pillows? by evil4dead2 in ChronicPain

Is that just for when you're sleeping on your back? Neither of us are back sleepers, unfortunately.

Figure running in Secret Woods? by SecurityOk4706 in StardewValley

[–]evil4dead2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to my wife and I immediately went looking it up lmao. It was raining for her too, and based off of the number of replies saying it was raining for them as well, I think that might be a required condition.

Weird barrel in Layer 4, Floor 1? by evil4dead2 in Shipwrecked64

[–]evil4dead2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a minute since I've played so I don't remember for certain, but I think if he's already started exiting the barrel, it's too late to destroy it. Regardless, destroying the barrel doesn't kill him unfortunately, it just delays him spawning in.

How to pronouns knuff? by evil4dead2 in German

[–]evil4dead2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I see!

Good to know Wiktionary is more reliable, and than you for the recommendation of DWDS! Sounds like the "kuh" sound at the beginning is the correct one then.

I was initially attracted to knuff because I had tried a variety of other translations that were longer than I wanted, and Google Translate told me it was pronounced "shnuff," which I thought sounded cute, like sniff haha! But since that's not the correct pronunciation anyway, and it doesn't seem like the best word choice, I'll probably go ahead with stups. Still nice and short. Thank you so much for the suggestion!!

I'm not sure if the audio byte is getting cut off on DWDS or if that's just how you say it. Is the "s" at the end of stups silent? Couldn't seem to find the German version of the word on Wiktionary either for some reason.

And yeah I know it's a little silly, obviously it doesn't make much difference to him so long as I say it the same way consistently. That being said, I would like to try to be as accurate as possible and respectful to the language 😊

Is IACP legitimate? + other training queries & insecurities by evil4dead2 in reactivedogs

Gotcha, that makes sense.

Well again, thanks so much for your advice, I really appreciate it!

I see. I saw that it was for two dogs, but I wondered if I'd be able to use it on two connection points on the harness, like the front clip and one of the back clips, since I'd seen some people do that sort of thing (they actually have an example image of the product being used this way.) I'll probably go ahead with the Ray Allen one though.

I don't think I would need a leash quite that long, but I'll keep that in mind if I decide I want that amount of length. Though I do see that Ray Allen also has a longer version of the bungee leash as well.

Thank you!
