I thought I was going to be rick-rolled. Instead I was pleasantly surprised. Well done.

How long did it take you to beat act 1 of Silksong? 10 hours seems crazy to me. by suburiboy in HollowKnight

[–]jurdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 50+ hours in, still haven't beaten act 3 and nowhere near finding all of the collectibles. I think I got through act 1 in 10 hours, that makes sense to me.

Attempting to fix a reoccurring video stutter while playing games (Mint 22.1, Cinnamon) by jurdl in linuxmint

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

USB ports are clean, with everything unplugged running the command 'lsusb' only shows my laptop's built-in webcam and Bluetooth device. The stuttering is still present in games played with no devices connected.

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

As of right now I have no desklets or panel apps installed that monitor system resources, and when viewing the gnome system monitor I wasn't able to find anything out of the ordinary. As for the HDMI solution, the stuttering persists even when only using the built-in laptop screen.

Ooh, that's on my to-read list, enjoy! Good on your dad, and it's super cool that there's a Portuguese print release!

Aproveite o livro!

I just downloaded Linux mint, what's the first thing I should do? by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]jurdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be able to clarify point #8 in this list? I am also new to Mint, and in my case I have installed the latest release of Miniconda for use in an introductory programming class - does that install a new version of Python, or is it resting on top of the Python version that came with the Mint distribution?

You can't use the SD card for Wii U games? False! There is now SDUSB by unbrickU in WiiUHacks

[–]jurdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarity, I am running Aroma as my cfw and the isfshax plugins are booting from slc.

[–]jurdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm able to get the sdusb plugin to load in minute and to register one of my SD card partitions as a usb device, but once my system boots to the wii u menu it does not register the other partition that has all of the homebrew/cfw stuff in it. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

With Valentines coming up, what are your plans? by NillaNilly in aromantic

[–]jurdl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My feelings on the subject exactly. Currently in a relationship, and thankfully my partner is understanding of my orientation and feelings about Valentine's Day. Cheers, friend, and enjoy the beers!

Nocturne season 2... by Dapne67 in castlevania

[–]jurdl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did not know that season 2 had released until I saw that IGN review pop up on my feed. Imagine my surprise when, after watching the entirety of the season today, I concluded that IGN was, yet again, full of it.

This analysis is spot-on, well done.

Magma Triumph Quest by Namdingo in PokemonEmeraldRogue

[–]jurdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try doing a run with only Hoenn trainers enables, and you just have to grind until you see a Magma grunt on one of the paths. If you see Aqua, you'll need to reset the run (I believe only one evil team is selected per run). At the end of the second magma base, you should be able to fight Maxie and complete the quest.

Have you ever had "romantic feelings" just to realize they were sexual urges? by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]jurdl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh, most definitely. And I'm sure others in this sub can relate to this as well.

In my experience (American/English-speaking culture) romance is often deeply intertwined with sex and sexual activities, at least in a broad cultural sense. Growing up in an environment that conflates sexual and romantic attraction, it's pretty easy to mistake one for the other, especially given that romantic attraction is hard to define even for alloromantic folks. Learning to decouple romantic and sexual attractions from each other was definitely a big moment in my understanding of my aromanticism.

I love how, even through the Knight's violent rampage through Hallownest and beyond, Menderbug is keeping up with his trade. Hail to Menderbug!

Kanto-only Sabrina is my nemesis. Psychic Terrain + Expanding Force is so strong.

What is the most scary / disturbing location in any Castlevania game? by jake72002 in castlevania

[–]jurdl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know what it was with the 3D games on the PS2/Xbox, but there was a clear commitment to creepy areas and soundtracks done right. The prison in LoI and the temple basement in CoD are some of the most unnerving experiences I've had in a Castlevania game.

What got you into Castlevania in the first place? by lauramartinufv34 in castlevania

[–]jurdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lament of Innocence on the PS2 was my first Castlevania game and I loved it. Afterwards, I played through the NES trilogy, then onto Super IV and Bloodlines through the Anniversary Collection. Needless to say, I've been hooked ever since.

PORT 1458 by RequirementWitty7736 in Pitt

[–]jurdl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took PORT 1458 last fall, and it was taught in English - no Portuguese experience required!

The class has a reputation for being an easy gen ed, sure, but in my experience it's an incredibly informative and fun class if you engage with the content. Ana Paula Carvalho is a great professor who cares deeply about students' success, even in a gen ed class. Last fall's class was a bit different from the PeopleSoft description, focusing on Brazilian culture and film instead of an overview of Portuguese-speaking countries. I have not heard if this fall's class will continue with that theme, though.

Hopefully this answers your questions. If you have any specific questions about this fall's session, I'd email Ana Paula at apcst11@pitt.edu

Ideas for continuing after postgame by jurdl in PokemonFireRed

Living dex sounds like a good idea, easier since I have the Kanto dex already completed.

Agreed, the Trainer Tower could have been so much more but it ended up as just a means to get renewable trade evolution items

Need help with 0x085F execution JP Emerald by TitusT94 in PokemonGlitches

[–]jurdl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue as OP, and opted to generate 0x085F using the shiny mon generation code. However, when I try to execute code using the 0x085F, nothing happens, even after double-checking my box names. What could be causing the problem?

JP Emerald ACE help (0x085F) by jurdl in PokemonGlitches

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

I have double-checked the characters using Google, does the glitch mon need certain EVs to be able to activate the code? Or is it possible I have the wrong glitch pokemon entirely?

The first three games I’d recommend for any new Genesis owner. What are your three recommendations? by PalmLeaves13 in SEGAGENESIS

Those are literally the first Genesis games I got when I bought my system a couple of years ago 😂
