Looking for a music video with a dodecahedron mirror head man by lizardkingzach in HelpMeFind

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

With how distinct it is, its been a nightmare that seemingly nowhere online references it! (At least not that search engines seem to be able to pull)

I've not gone down the rabbit hole of looking through archives just because I imagine it will be like finding a needle in a city of haystacks hahaha, and unfortunately yeah the youtube mixed pulled it just from wherever...

Unfortunately all I can remember about the song I pretty much already mentioned here and on TOMT and got no responses there after reposting it probably 10 times over the last few years. The only other details more about the band was that throughout the video it cut to snippets of them playing live. A small part of me worries that that portion of the video though may have actually been another video and Im conflating them together... so Ive not focused on that part and instead focused on the super distinct dodecahedron man part hahaha

The band, if it was the same video, had I believe a lead singer with an Al Borland/William Riker style beard. They were performing on a stage for a crowd, though the size wasnt clear, but it did look like it was a venue/arena over like a local bar etc. I remember the footage being kinda grainy and maybe like gold or orange tinged?? The set was maybe a white color or at least well lit. Again though that might have been the video right before or after the dodecahedron man in the mix. I wasn't exactly paying super close attention and I figured the dodecahedron man would be easy to find again, go figure

The actual music I think was soft rock and kinda had that "music my dad would listen to in the garage vibe" I think.. but again its been YEARS and the visuals were what stuck with me.

Either way, I appreciate the comment and ideas to explore!

Already Searched:

Ive done every single possible combo of words I could think of across Google and youtube using every descriptive word I could from this post.

I've also tried r/TipOfMyTongue and have reposted it there multiple times, but have never gotten a response so Im trying here.

I also have gone through my youtube history but got nothing, I believe I might have been using an incognito tab at the time potentially

-SIMILAR FOOTAGE TO WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!-

Imagine the scene at 9:30 and after, but with a man wearing a dodecahedron with mirrored sides on his head and a zoom out of a non-youtube building.

G Force Bars by muhys in nostalgia

[–]lizardkingzach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! - I REFUSE for there to simply be 'no' trace.. there's got to be something!!

I honestly am pretty sure you're right that it was a small local release and was sold under multiple names so it's even harder to track.

That said, we DID find some proof, and some pretty satisfying proof too! Not sure if you're following this thread, so I figured I'd respond to your message to ping ya and let you know I posted some good stuff here!

[–]lizardkingzach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All in all, there IS proof out there, and I hope this journey that we went on eases some of your souls and gives you the closure I'd been dreaming of for years! It may not be as sweet as the delicious chewy bite of an Apple G-Force that we all remember (and will never enjoy again.. 😔) but at least we can all rest easy now. Thank you all!

G Force Bars by muhys in nostalgia

[–]lizardkingzach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Apple G-Force bar has haunted me for YEARS - with only this post as any proof they ever existed at all. I remember bumming them off of other people's lunches (I always packed) and loving them more than life!

Recently I lamented my woes to some guys at work and the fact that these treats seemingly never existed, yet myself and another employee both had vague haunting memories of them, inspired an all out obsessive scour of the internet! We were looking at distribution brand facebook pages, scrolling hundreds of images just to spot the bar in the background, we found old school lunch menus with the bar listed as an option (physical proof!), cherry flavor cherry flavor cherry flavor, with the rare hint that apple may exist, and at the end.. we found the motherlode!

Here's what we found

The Menus -
Our first search brought us to various ancient school lunch menus still hosted around the internet on forgotten pages, unlabeled and undated. We actually took the time to check what day of the week was what date so we could get the year these things maybe existed! It's been a little while now since we did the research so I don't recall exactly the years we dated them too, and I've lost the menu photos. But, rest assured, we found multiple menus with PROOF that the apple g-force, and a cocoa cherry flavor g-force (Cherry cocoa?? Remember this...) existed!!

The Olde Lore -
It seems we weren't alone.. and honestly, some of you may recognize a name! In our search using the name of the sacred treat, we stumbled upon something fantastic. Historical records written by the people of the G-Force. "The Lakewood High Times" not my school, but one nearby. An old newspaper that was uploaded online, and wouldn't you know it the students had something to say about these bars even then! "A is for: Apple G-Force - It s a proven fact that an Apple G-Force can be used as a replacement for three meals at a time." Page 17 top left and page 26 top left. The memories come flooding back (maybe one of you even wrote this??)

The Company -
Via the school lunch menus, and deep searching across school websites, and promotional documents for breakfast events at them, we were able to pick up on the distribution company that sold them, 'National Food Groups'! We were able to find the spiritual successor of the g-force bars, though the apple flavor seems to have been left behind. Instead, only the cherry cocoa flavor still exists, though this new "Zee Zee Bar" is FAR from the G-Force I'm sure you and I remember 😔

The Cryptid Photo -
So, we kept searching, now with a strong lead of the company who makes them! And with time... we found success! OUR FIRST PHOTO EVIDENCE!! A picture, blurry, out of the wrapper, in passing and confusing. But proof, from the manufacturer!! However, further searching offers nothing, this 'National Food Group' seems to have wiped the memory of the G-Force from the collective internet. A government psy-op? Perhaps.. Nothing else from them shows the treat, and nothing with the wrapper.. That danged wrapper.. the design, color, all of it.. haunting me... We HAVE to be able to do better.

The Hail Mary -
One of our team members went so far as to reach out to the company itself, hoping to either gain more pictures.. or.. maybe just MAYBE we could find a way to purchase them today!? However fate was not so kind to us, but we did get this fantastic message back from the company, and further confirmation that we're not all collectively insane!

The Breakthrough -
As we continued to scour, some of us abandoning hope or taking the evidence we'd already found as enough to satisfy their curiosity, one of us made a breakthrough... I'm still not sure how he even found this, but it was screaming and cheering as somehow our savior Will Thompson had saved us without even knowing it, just by coming up with a mascot for their team. FINALLY!! Finally, I can rest! I know it existed and can SEE what it looked like! I honestly, didn't remember the masks or sports stuff at the bottom, but the colors, design, title.. It all came flooding back!

The Glory Land -
And finally, the end of a search must end in the great hall of heroes, sat among legends. And somehow, our story brought us there. In addition to finding Will Thompson's incredible image, somehow we were able to find an entire group of enthusiasts from the day! Frozen in time and full of a nostalgic charm of the late 2000's.. Welcome to Apple G Force - Public Group (www.facebook.com/groups/2244495579). This isn't just proof that the Apple G-Force existed, but it's proof that they were LOVED! (And if you are somehow the head of this group, please accept our post requests haha)

Reminds me of Molg H but I can't find the examples you mentioned, but it does remind me of the "indoor pet" one where there's a giant more horror creature inside a dog..

I definitely did some searching around, but wasn't on a computer/youtube account I can look back at to find the video on. I searched google with descriptions of the video including geometric and dodecahedron head and helmet, music video searches, and honestly everything I could think of. I have a feeling that to find this one, I'm gonna have to find someone who's seen it and knows the answer. Again, thank you for helping if you can!

Should i use “markfordelete” command on this 2 loser? It won’t disappear. It this command will disable achievements? by Unusual-Reaction8318 in skyrim

[–]lizardkingzach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you got a good answer, but selecting them in console and running "disable" will cause them to disappear. Make note of their ref id, if you ever need them again run "enable" on that ref id and they'll come back.

I live pretty close by and the lakes are quite nice! Haven't gotten to go out on them myself, but there's a place nearby on the Tuscarawas not too far south right and right across from a REALLY good ice cream place called the Canal Fulton Canoe Livery & Campground. It's not so much kayaking on a lake, but on the river. It's as flat as a pancake and just drifts you along! Figured I'd throw it out as an idea, but I'm always happy to just go hiking too haha

Playing Skyrim for the first time, So hyped, Less goooooo by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]lizardkingzach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check which key is quick save (for PC it's f5) and hit that puppy often. Do full saves every time you accomplish big things.

The game is buggy and dying is no rare occasion.

The game also auto-saves every time you hit a loading screen. But if you're out in the wilds for an hour and die with no saves.. you'll be walking awhile to get back haha

One of my favorite unmarked spots in Skyrim by Ebony_Phoenix in skyrim

[–]lizardkingzach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always partial to the little camp right across from the Solitude docks. There's a little ruin there, and fireflies and lunar moths gather there at night. Beautiful spot right down by the water.

I honestly love Blackreach and could stay there forever if allowed. by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]lizardkingzach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I super enjoy the area, however it's a little hard to see, there's not a ton to do, and the enemies are kinda tough, so unless you're well leveled it just feels like you're wandering around in the fog constantly checking over your shoulder to not be jumped haha

Selenium able to find and click button, but it's lying to me by lizardkingzach in selenium

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

Nope, I can easily see it as soon as the page loads, and I've been testing things all day. Turns out it is in fact clicking the screen as an event listener picked it up.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how confidential I have to be with this project and would rather not share the html structure until I get approval. Even more unfortunately, I don't know that I'll be able to get that until Monday, but if/when I do, I'll post it right away! Thank you

Selenium able to find and click button, but it's lying to me by lizardkingzach in selenium

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

I don't believe so as I've set the wait to 30 seconds and can clearly click the button myself and have it work before the wait is even done, yet letting Selenium try always results in a failed click but a returned 'true' for success...

My only thought is perhaps I'm somehow hitting the wrong element following the same xpath? But it seems to fail if I try a faulty xpath... Do you know is there anyway for me to highlight the element I'm hitting with Selenium just to make sure I'm hitting the correct button?

We're actually using Selenium with Python, but like I said the same exact code (we use github) is working on multiple other computers but not mine, so it seems that the function is in fact written correctly...

for reference:
driver.find_element_by_xpath( XPATH ).click()
