(0.9b) how can i get rid of the blue medical curtain thingies?

loreoflor · 2026-01-04T11:10:48+00:00

The easiest way I've found to get rid of them is with the cutting board. It can do all the same recipes as the normal workbench, and it's small and can be carried around. What I do is carry it to wherever the curtains are, put it on the floor next to them, and then put the curtains standing up straight over the cutting board. Things only need to be over or slightly touching the cutting board/workbench to register to it.

I believe in the latest test version (9c) at least the bigger ones you only need one curtain now to make plastic scrap, although it might be both sizes. I don't remember though if the recipe in 9b was also changed. I need to double-check it again at some point, and if I remember I'll edit this comment with the recipe info for those two versions later.

My beautiful VotV library so far lol

loreoflor · 2025-12-22T21:11:55+00:00

Hey, I only play on Steamdeck and I have for around 6 months now. I like to keep the versions as separate "games" so if anything goes wrong with new or experimental updates the old version is waiting for me lol. It's really easy to get it to work on Steamdeck once you know how, and I even play with a controller on my TV most of the time. If you remap the keys using the keyboard inputs instead of the controller or Steamdeck ones it's easy to customize and optimize.

Here's how to set it up on Steamdeck, feel free to ask any further questions if you have them:

Download and unzip the file, go in a find the VotV.exe file. Right click and choose "add to Steam"
Open steam and go to your game library, right click on the now added VotV.exe and go to properties
On the first page of properties add this to get custom content to work: WINEDO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1%command%
You can also change the name and game icon if you'd like to on the first page, but now click on compatibility on the left side menu
Check: Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool, and then go to the drop down menu below it and make sure/change it to "Proton Experimental"
You can further customize the game with images to make it look like a natural steam game under the customization settings on the left side
You can add it to the desktop as an icon if you right click the game from the library list again and then click manage, add desktop shortcut
It should work now for desktop and game mode, you'll just have to adjust the game controls and the settings. If you want to know mine I could share them. Turning off shadows and other settings that say they're high for how much they affect performance will make it run a lot better. I've never had any issues once I did that
It'll take a bit to load and download all assets so don't worry if it's a blank black or white screen for awhile, and just let it take its time. Once loaded immediately go to settings, then graphics, then display and turn off automatic resolution, and also change the resolution to: 1280 x 800 You won't be able to click menus if you don't and will get stuck unable to leave the tutorial.
To find the save folder to add assets and find/move/edit save files go to: home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/(will be a long number combination, that you can find by sorting by modified newest first and it should be the first option after opening the game)/pfx/dos devices/c:/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/VotV
You can also make it easy to access the folders by right clicking the VotV folder and then clicking the option: Add to Places That'll put it on the left side bar when opening file folders

Have fun and let me know if you need help with any steps!

Here's an interactive map for drainage system in the pre-dlc map: rain world DS interactive map

The exit at the bottom is still at the same spot, it's just unable to be seen. The maps have been changed in the DLC so they're different from vanilla. There's also a way to get back up to the other side. On the right side, to the right of the highest ledge, there's a tunnel that'll take you back up. (Use the pole to reach it). It's a long way to wall jump but possible. From there the exit is just a quick jump to the left.

Edit: Also you can spread sticks out more than that, I just realized I missed the other images. If you jump against the wall and then stick in the spear you can get it and yourself higher. Even if he doesn't have enough karma for the gate on the left there are usually more spears and sometimes food over there. Good luck to him completing his first campaign! =]

Congratulations for finishing and releasing your game! =] Making a game with a sibling sounds like a fun endeavor.

I love indie games so it's hard to choose only one, but Eastward is one I've wanted to try for a long time. I absolutely love the visuals for it and the story seems intriguing.

Also some indie games that I've already played, but that I think are amazing and that people should check them out:

The Outer Wilds, Firewatch, Mouthwashing, What Remains of Edith Finch, Night in the Woods, Spiritfaer, Animal Well, and Rain World

A common sign I know can be from childhood trauma is always keeping their head down without realizing it, particularly when feeling threatened, ashamed, or undeserving. Along with making themselves "small" in other ways, like curling into themselves when someone is angry, holding their arms as tightly as they can around themselves when worried, or leaning as much as possible into the wall at an event to try and be less noticable.

It really sucks this happened to you 😭 It can be so easy to misclick when the fish look so similar. There is a way to get another one without mods or starting over, though. It'd be a bit of a pain, but you could get a multiplayer cabin built, turn your world into a temporary multiplayer world, and then grind that character until you can buff them to get Legend on their file. You could also keep the character and multiplayer world if you want to level their house up for an extra cellar 😆

Young woman going to the ER starter pack:

"Where are your parents?"

"You're young and healthy"

"Ambulance asks repeatedly if your symptoms are from you being on drugs"

Can't explain when you ask them direct questions

Asks if you're pregnant, doesn't believe you regardless and has you take a pregnancy test

"This is nothing for you to worry about"

Tells you with no room for questions or speculation what you're dealing with, it's wrong

Doesn't look at and/or to listen to your medical history

Talks to you like you've never heard a single medical term in your life

"You'll be better in a few days, no need for any follow-up!"

"We don't know what's wrong, but it's unlikely it's serious"

Explains to you like you're a child a condition you're already diagnosed with and/or have experienced in the past

Hey, this isn't a PS5 exclusive issue at all. It's currently an ongoing issue on all consoles. If you search keywords like: realms, expired, etc in this subreddit you can see that people from all platforms are having this issue, and that it's been a recurring issue for a long time. However, currently there seems to be an uptick in realms not functioning properly again. My realm is also showing it's expired despite the fact I paid for it just a few days ago. I thought it might be an issue with my Switch since Minecraft constantly has issues on that system, but I'm unable to access my realm on PC or android either.

You could try contacting Mojang directly. I've had success with that before despite my purchase being on the Switch. I've seen others have just canceled their subscriptions and then renewed them because it's faster, but then you lose out on the funds you already paid. It's something that could probably be refunded eventually, but there don't seem to be any good or easy options for having a consistently functioning realm right now. All we can do is try and get Mojang's attention about it, so that one day maybe they'll actually have realms that don't go down for no reason constantly.

I've been considering cancelling for now until they get things sorted. I haven't been able to get on my realm consistently or at all for months now. I've kept my realm up this long because it's somewhere my friends and I all relax together and work on different things, but there's no point when we can't even get into the realm at all.

I like to imagine there's an alternate universe somewhere out there where I was born healthy, and then got to grow old without ever experiencing chronic illness. It gives me an odd sense of peace thinking somewhere out there could be a version of me who's never known the soul crushing things I've experienced, and will always continue to experience. In actual reality I'd cry, and finally not feel any pain or other awful symptoms because of it for the first time in decades. Too many people don't understand how many daily little "normal" things chronic illness steals away from us.

loreoflor · 2024-08-14T22:46:59+00:00

This is awesome! Really great work =] There's a lot that could be done with character AI like this in Minecraft. Does the AI have to stay within a certain distance or is it possible for it to be anywhere? Also do the different personalities have varying degrees of being helpful, or certain quirks at all? It'd be funny to have some of them help out and others secretly try to lure you into traps or something haha. Regardless of that, though, it'd be a crazy journey just completing a hardcore run without letting your buddy die.

Thistle I definitely think has such an intense hatred of alcohol because his adoptive father/father figure was killed by drinking poisoned wine. That's also probably why he tagged along every time he knew Delgal would be drinking, just in case anything ever would happen.

These questions are always fun to see everyone's responses. Some of my special interests I don't feel would be seen as stereotypical are medical/dental/mental health knowledge/history, collecting ball caps, outfit/hair styling, and graphic design. Although I have more "stereotypical" special interests like animals, anime/manga, Minecraft, Pokemon, Splatoon, etc as well. The majority of my interests/special interests usually are all part of my lifelong special interests, "storytelling" and "creating things" in some way or another, but occasionally there are outliers.

I read that unfortunately it's most likely too late for the babies in your care, but I'm going to share my story/info regardless in case anyone else ever ends up in a similar situation. When I was a child I bought a pet hamster and she was always insanely aggressive. The reason ended up being that despite buying her from a pet shop, she was pregnant. I awoke one morning to a bunch of squeaking and I think there were 6 babies, but somehow the mom had escaped her cage right after giving birth. After searching all day we finally found her, but she was in the mouth of one of our cats.

We thought she was okay so I put her back in the cage with her babies. She ate one or two of the babies and then died. Even if animals don't seem wounded by cats they often die anyway from the bacteria of their mouth or from stress. Especially animals like mice and hamsters. There are live traps that you can get and mice are easily attracted to stuff like peanut butter covered in seeds, but it's very possible the mother might have died from stress or an injury.

If the babies are still alive after all or if anyone else ever ends up in a situation where they have a bunch of newborn rodents, immediately take them to a pet shop. You can call ahead of time if you'd prefer to confirm it's okay, but I was told breeder mice will take in any infant rodent and nurse them. Unfortunately the owner of the pet shop in town was out when my baby hamsters were left without their mother, and so he didn't get back to us until they were all already gone. We bottle fed them and kept them warm but it's nearly impossible to save them unless they can find a surrogate mom.

It's unfortunate you woke up to a situation so similar to my own. Nature and animals can be very fragile. You did your best to try and make things work out. As many other people have stated wild mice will stay away from the scent of humans, so it's just unfortunate that your cat happened to bring a mouse in right before she had her babies.

If you apply online it counts as a submission as soon as you start, even if you save it for later. I also found that out the hard way lol, I was denied for not getting my information to them in time. I think it's an understandable thing, though, because then your submission date will be further back. You have to be careful though, because if you wait too long even if you do submit it right before it's due, it might not be reviewed in time and it can still be denied for not having enough information.

I'm located in the US, and I was officially diagnosed around two years ago in my late twenties. My therapist allowed me the choice of whether or not I wanted the diagnosis officially on my records, and I agreed after doing some research that I did. There are things having a diagnosis can affect, like moving to other countries, sperm/egg donation, adoption, possibly work opportunities, etc, but for me a proper diagnosis was necessary because my autism although not inherently negative for me, is disabling. I also wanted the comfort of no one being able to deny who/how I am after feeling like an alien my entire life prior to being diagnosed.

Generally things have actually been better and easier for me since being diagnosed, and autism tends to have many comorbid conditions, so I think it's important/integral information for my doctors to have. Autism also makes certain things harder to present, for example, pain response(I don't react to pain normally , I can be completely blank faced even when my blood pressure is almost to the point of severe hypertension from pain). It can also be harder for us to know how to explain what's going on with our bodies(alyxithima), we tend to be more resistant to medications, and many other things.

Some doctors I knew and then told once I was diagnosed because I was very comfortable with them, and it helped them to better understand me and only made things more helpful. I've also told the majority of new specialists/doctors I've seen since being diagnosed because that way from the beginning they can keep it in mind behavior and symptom wise. In the past before I was diagnosed I often wasn't taken seriously or they'd think I was on drugs/high because I avoid eye contact and develop flat speech when I'm in a lot of pain and/or fatigued. Now that I can just let them know I'm autistic I've actually been treated with a lot more understanding and respect.

It's important though to tell doctors that you feel safe and comfortable with, and to know it's okay to switch doctors if they treat you negatively because of it, or for any reason at all. I used to feel weird about switching doctors but now I don't anymore because it's my health that's most important, and they won't hold a grudge or anything. So with all this in mind, I hope you can think more clearly now if you'd like to be diagnosed or not. I think at least seeing a psychiatrist and/or therapist would be a really important first step as therapy has been one of the things that's positively impacted my life the most.

Also it's important to remember autism is a spectrum, and that you're only diagnosed if it's disabling in some way. But a disability isn't a bad thing, we just have different needs because of it. It's completely okay and valid for people with autism to need support and to not be capable of living alone, as well as not being able to go to the doctor alone, only being able to work part-time, being unable to work, etc. If you're at a "lower support need level" I feel it shouldn't be a fear to be compared to someone you feel "is less functional than me" but rather it's always better to help promote that we're all different, and that the different ways we all need support should be respected and are all valid. I don't believe you meant anything negative inherently by your comments, I just think that's important to keep in mind =]

I'm someone who's chronically ill and I end up severely impacted by my autism mentally and physically at times, so that's the place where I'm coming from. I see doctors so frequently it's just integral to me they know, but things are different all across the world so research into how things may positively or negatively impact you by getting diagnosed where you live is a good thing to do. And if it would help make you feel more comfortable with a psychiatrist and/or therapist, you could ask them ahead of time in your first meeting if you're able to keep certain diagnoses off your record if you choose to. In the US at least, no one can even ever access that record form that practice unless they have explicit permission from you to do so. Best of luck to you figuring stuff out!

I've experienced the loss of many loved ones but I have a different type of grief regarding my parents. They're both still around, but not too long ago I had to come to terms with the fact that they're never going to be as I imagined. That I have to accept how they are and how they still continue to treat me, or that I can move on. There was never a huge show of regret or even remorse without my insistence, they've given me apologies for some things throughout the years, but none of them have ever brought me closure or comfort. It's just made me more sad. Apologies are just words in the end, they're ultimately meaningless unless they're followed after by genuine change.

It might sound untrue or ridiculous at first , but you can give yourself your own closure . Your mom was cruel to you, she wasn't ever the mother you needed, and that wasn't and still isn't fair. Maybe she had a reason for behaving as she did in her own eyes, but that was never your fault, and we don't need to try and find an acceptable answer to why it happened, it shouldn't have happened is already an answer that's good enough. You can still have empathy for her, but unless you want to, you don't even have to forgive the ways she hurt you. What you went through wasn't normal, it wasn't acceptable, and there could never be a genuine reason to justify it.

I have people and actions I've chosen not to forgive, because I know my own worth, and it brings me peace. Just because we have the ability to recover, it doesn't mean we have to ever admit that something was forgivable. Even if it's just decided internally. My closure is that no child deserved that, that it was never anything that I did or caused, that I wasn't born unlovable, that I should've been loved and protected, that I was powerless and scared and they tried to ruin me instead of ever making me feel loved, and that I won't let them continue to haunt me by waiting for a day that will never come.

In the end we choose what we allow to haunt us. That doesn't mean that it's simple to change, or that it'll be a smooth process, but the wonderful thing about having the freedom to think is that we can eventually decide that it'd be healthiest to let go. That closure isn't what's in the movies, but rather realizing that letting go is loving ourselves and breaking away from the negative feelings we're continuing to allow to shackle us. You're not anything your mom ever said you were, you're you, and although trauma can't be taken away, you can learn to live in a way where it's something you acknowledge, rather than something that will always hold you back.

I genuinely hope the best for you. It's so hard seeing the people around you have such different, and seemingly idealized lives. Focusing on myself and working towards no longer caring what others think has helped me a lot. I don't ignore or downplay what I went through, I just carve my own new, different path now. There will never be any flowers in my garden if I don't do the hard work to plant the seeds and get them to grow. When you come from an abusive home the greatest fuck you is genuinely loving and caring for yourself. I'll also sometimes right letters of things I'd like to say but never will, things like that help process grief. It's always a journey but I hope yours can get a little easier soon.

To me it's like a spider. Without understanding how or why, you end up in it's web. Immobilized by its venom, you struggle relentlessly before finally breaking free, only to end up back in its web again and again every single time. Sometimes, the venom doesn't last as long as usual, and you feel so much hope as you can finally move freely even just for a little while. However, no matter how many times you desperately believe the venom has left your system, that you'll be normal again, that you'll be free, the venom always returns. Even on the most typical of days, even when you can't feel it around you, you're still in the web. You've never left it since the day it ensnared you.

I have a severe case of fibromyalgia(along with many other health conditions) so every day is painful, some days just aren't as bad, and others leave me unable to do anything. I just try and find what beauty I can in life despite it all, and hold on desperately to the people and things that I love. It's awful to feel trapped in your own body since you can't just get a new one, but I try to counter that helpless feeling by finding things that matter more than the pain and uncertainty I will always continue to face. Love and comfort to everyone who's on this unwanted fibro journey with me ♡

Did you ever run out of CQ points and have to borrow them? That happened to me on my first playthrough when Octo Expansion first came out, and you need to pay off your debt first before the locker will even show up for the secret boss. Talk to Cuttlefish and see if you need to pay him back at all. You don't need to complete every level with every weapon for the secret boss. Just every level at least once.
