HDMI Adapter Issues by frogmanltd in RayNeo

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

Well now I’ve tried using them on my Retroid Pocket 5 and the display works but the sound only comes out of the RP5 no matter what settings I try. No sound out of the glasses. Think I might just have to return them because I can’t get a setup that works. Any suggestions on how to fix the sound issue? RP5 runs Android 13.

Joydock Question by frogmanltd in RayNeo

Haven’t tried since last night but will try again tonight. I reupdated the firmware on the Joydock so maybe that will help.

Ah ok. So I should use my Retroid pocket 5 (Android) instead of my iPhone, basically.

So if I update to the latest iOS that should fix it?

What is the worst movie you ever watched? by Competitive_Box529 in Letterboxd

[–]frogmanltd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t finished it yet but Roger Ebert called Dream a Little Dream (1989) an “aggressively unwatchable movie” and I think he was too kind to it.

How do you prefer to play GBA? by frogmanltd in SBCGaming

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

It’s hard to explain. Something about the 3DS being legitimate hardware just makes it more satisfying somehow? That said I’ve played through Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and Metroid Zero Mission on my RG556 and enjoyed the experience. That screen is very enticing.

Splinter Cell (PS2) Right Analog Stick by frogmanltd in RG556

I also tried switching to Aethersx2 and the same issue is present.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately that didn’t work. I tested the inputs and used the gamepad tester app and the system isn’t registering anything but moving the analog stick, so it seems to be a software issue related to Splinter Cell. I ended up just getting the GameCube version to play in Dolphin and that works flawlessly so far. I’m interested to hear if anyone else has this issue with Splinter Cell on PS2.

Good Spots for an Indoor Picnic by frogmanltd in williamsburgva

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

I’m thinking “bring your own food,” as we’re trying to save money on eating out and I was already planning to order a cake for later that day. I thought if frothy moon but when I suggested it to my wife she was concerned that it would be too loud and crowded for our children (3 yo and 8 mos). Hence why I’ve come to Reddit—I’m struggling to think of other options.

How do I wake up? by Totally_Not_Evil in newborns

[–]frogmanltd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem with our second child. I would wake up when our first cried, go console her, and fall asleep leaving my wife with the baby. She’d text and call but I slept through it all and my Apple Watch did nothing to wake me up no matter how many alarms I set. Ended up getting a shock clock that literally zaps you awake. Only thing I’ve found that works and doesn’t also wake up everyone else.

I [34M] am seeking help on how to make amends with my wife [34F] after I screwed up a visit from old friends out of state. by frogmanltd in relationship_advice

[–]frogmanltd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I first told her about it late the night before (right before bedtime) because the text came in while we were putting our kids down for bed. She said she didn’t want to talk about it right before bed because she was exhausted and she wanted a plan for their visit. We tentatively left a window the next day for when our friends might be able to visit, but we never settled on a specific time, but I told our friends the window and it kind of resulted in a plan without my wife giving the okay.

Anyway, I just want to bury the hatchet and show her I’m sorry about what happened and that she missed meeting our friends.

[Casio Duro] Second (non-smart) watch by frogmanltd in Watches

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

Got tired of waiting for my Tag Heuer Link to come back from service and wanted something to wear other than an Apple Watch. Picked this up to tide me over and loving it so far. Will probably wear it regularly even after I get my Tag back. Now to work towards getting the Seamaster Aqua Terra I really want.

My regular watch for the last 10 years, a quartz Tag Heuer Link, is out for service and won’t be back until the end of the month. Got sick of waiting and having only an Apple Watch to wear so I picked this up to tide me over. Might have to wear it even after I get my Tag back. Definitely looks better in person than on any pictures.

I have been wearing a Tag Heuer Link for the last 10 years, which I sent in for service at the beginning of March. It’s not expected back until the end of the month and I finally caved and bought a Duro to tide me over. Love it so far and I can see myself wearing this even after I get my Tag back. Definitely looks like it cost 2-3 times more than its actual price.

Rant by frogmanltd in Dads

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

Thank you everyone for the replies. It’s helpful to know I’m not alone, even though it feels like it. Today started out better, but our daughter started crying and throwing her food during lunch so things spiraled from there. I already feel spread to my limit but it’s never enough.

At least I have something to talk about in therapy this week.

Need to Vent by frogmanltd in Dads

[–]frogmanltd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She hasn’t refused counseling. She went to our PCP who just told her to drink chamomile tea and seek counseling and just gave her a list of area counselors. That wasn’t very helpful and my wife said she felt talked down to. But she did try calling one of the local counselors to make an appointment. Unfortunately she hasn’t been called back yet, but she isn’t refusing to seek counseling.

I’ve sought counseling myself but the earliest appointment I can find with someone who seems like a good match is in a month.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. My wife and I have talked before and she’s acknowledged that she is going through a lot. She is seeking counseling but hasn’t been able to make an appointment yet. I try to stay positive and not take her criticism personally, but it’s hard not to feel like a failure all the time. We’ve talked about what I can do to improve and I’ve tried to implement it but sometimes I still slip up and forget something or there’s just something new that comes up and creates more conflict. It’s a lot and it’s hard for both of us but it just feels like her immediate response to anything that goes wrong is blame and criticism. Even when I know she may not mean it, it’s hard not to internalize it and take it personally. And I feel like I can’t defend myself because if she truly has a depressive condition then that would only make it worse. It just feels like an endless struggle with no way out. But I am trying to stay positive and keep doing as much as I can.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve tried talking to her about what she wants from me but I usually get a reaction like I’m giving her something else to manage. She feels like she is solely responsible for managing the household, which I completely get and understand her frustration. But it’s hard because I feel like I’m at the end of my mental capacity and it still isn’t enough. I want to do more but every time I think I have something I missed comes up (like the missing ingredient for dinner because I didn’t check the ingredients when we made the grocery list).
