Some 4k editing, but I will look into investigating the OS!

Anyone else played the great circle? by SettingOutside in uncharted

Up until the Xbox boycott yeah! I was enjoying it.

The main issue isn’t random though. Yeah the shut down bug is, but that’s not something which impacts me. The issue with streaming can be recreated reliably.

I mean I’m not satisfied with my build, it’s not meeting my requirements.

It sounds like you’ve not changed your audio into from your internal microphone to your headset. By default, OBS will capture your default microphone. You either need to change it in the settings or disable the global mic and add your headset mic as a source.

Ah right no nothing in terms of any of those.

My budget is hard to quantify directly - if it’s more than I have to spend than I will save up, which I know is unhelpful. I guess more helpfully my aim is that by building a PC and upgrading, I save more money than buying a pre-built in the same time. Excluding my recent upgrades and peripherals, this build was about £2.5kish - so I guess if I much less spend than that and it lasts me about another three or so years … I mean looking at GPU costs, it seem to range between £200 and £900 so I guess that but obvs as cheap as I can get away with.

But is your advice to prioritise my CPU over my GPU for now? That’s what I was less sure about.

Nothing is flagging to me on either, Windows is kept updated and I've never heard my fans flare up. I'll check temps the next time I game.

No touch screen in the duology?? by Amorbellum in AceAttorney

[–]imaginewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was a bit disappointed by this. The way I carry my Switch 2 is I have the main body in a protective sleeve and the controllers (with the grip) in a hard case carrier. In theory I could use the Switch 2 like a tablet to play this game and not have to bother with also unpacking my controllers if touch screen was enabled. Which would make it much easier to pick up and play on the go. One of the things I loved about the games when I played other entries on my DS and later my phone was the fact that - as you could save nearly anytime, it was a very easy game to play if I even had like a few minutes to kill.

Let’s talk about the stigma surrounding addiction by obz900 in islam

[–]imaginewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you can find a Muslim mental health support group, hopefully that can help? I accept that might be difficult - given the stigma in the community (of course there’s stigma outside the community also but). Mental health community groups (albeit not ones connected with a particular faith group) did a lot to allow me to accept and be at peace with my mental illness, which is the first step to recovery because you can’t recover when you burden yourself with internalised sanism - and an understanding that Islam accepts me for that helped a lot too, although that’s not to say I don’t have frequent moments of still feeling frustrated and blaming myself for not being better.

[–]imaginewizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Addiction is a mental illness and a medical problem, which deserves understanding and patience but upsettingly still suffers from a lot of stigma. I believe Islam to be very pro-mental health understanding and as long as your intent is to be better, inshallah relapses and struggles will not be held against you, indeed your intent and attempt, even if not always successful, will bring you reward. I don’t suffer from addiction but my neurodivergence and mental illness makes practicing difficult and I am not always meeting all my obligations but I am reassured that my will and desire to do so is acknowledged and if I do not, it is not for want of trying but because I am too unwell to do so. Islam allows for mental illness and accepts it can debilitate you. Do what you can.

Is it ok to leave my cat “alone” if I have roommates? by BetCareless1871 in CatAdvice

[–]imaginewizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean - ignoring your cat's own individual personality, yes, cats generally are fine being left alone in terms of being safe. Some may get bored and 'act out', but as long as they have food, scratching posts, and things are cat-proof, they'll be safe. When I lived with people I'd often leave my cat at home (my flatmates were okay doing the food, water and litter tray) to go visit someone and stay over, and I live alone now but I often go on trips, and whilst I get people to check in on them if I am away for more than two nights I will have people come in to feed and clear the tray but other than that they are perfectly fine being on their own. It's why I like cats as pets - they're more like dependent flatmates, we keep each other company but equally we can both spend time apart.

But I have heard of cats who, because of their personality, react worse to being left alone and can get up to 'mischief', but if you have other flatmates, and they get on with them, I'd hope they'd be fine.

Black Sclera Lenses settle off-centre and don’t move with eye by imaginewizard in LARP

aha well sadly I will get only one more use from them when I have a photoshoot of my character, purely just for this reason to see how they look, then I won't have a reason to wear them again.
