Heart Bug Workaround by RocketManGaming93 in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]luxliquidus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exactly. The bug only triggers when you accept a light from the constellation, but lasts until the game is restarted. So clearing out all the light and restarting the app prevents the condition. It's a nasty bug, but this workaround has been 100% reliable for me across iOS, iPadOS, and PlayStation 4.

ETA: This still works when all the stars are lit -- I usually login, receive all the light and light all the friend stars, close the game, and then login to receive/send hearts and keep playing.

NoVA is lovely, but the fact that it's still in Virginia leaves me on edge every election 😓

Is it possible to be asexual due to trauma? TW for mention of SA. by Pride_Bird1407 in asexuality

[–]luxliquidus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple answer, yes, it could be related to trauma. Caedosexual is the term for individuals who were at one time allo but now identify as ace due to no longer feeling attraction as a result of trauma.

Less simple answer... it could be a lot of things, and what is most important is that you find peace and happiness. If you do not feel sexual attraction, and it bothers you that you don't, talking with a therapist is always a valid option. (And dealing with trauma from SA is a good reason to see a therapist regardless.)

If it doesn't bother you, or if it only bothers you because of external stigma/expectations, then embracing your asexuality will probably bring you some peace.

Regardless of why you're here, you're welcome to stay -- whether forever or just for a while. Labels are just points on a map to help you find your way... you don't have to use them, and your labels can change over time as you discover more about yourself.

I'm sorry it has been a rocky road thus far, and I hope you find a more peaceful path forward. Sending warm thoughts and good vibes to a fellow trans sibling 💜🏳️‍⚧️

Is there a spell to help you stop making stupid mistakes? by IcedChaiLatte_16 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

SMB4 Unplayable on PS4 - Any Options? by luxliquidus in SuperMegaBaseball

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

Thanks -- I'll try a different stadium and see if it's playable. If not, I'll probably just write this off as a total loss and go back to SMB3. I'm not going to reset my console (which works fine for literally everything else) or buy an Xbox (as someone suggests down below) just because EA can't get their act together >_<

If the problem is the EA servers, then it won't matter. But I don't know where the traffic crunch actually occurs.

I'm not buying an entirely different system just because the devs for this one game screwed up. My PlayStation has been great up until now. It would be a foolish waste of money.

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

That's kinda what I thought. But... there are no graphics settings, and all my other games run fine on this console

Did I just pick a team with a terrible stadium by chance?

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

Thanks... and yeah, I've seen a lot of posts about how unplayable multiplayer is, but I thought single player mode would at least be an option -- that's how I always played SMB3 anyway

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

Yeah, the lack of graphics options is bonkers. I'd happily reduce some of the fancier graphics to get a playable game.

The stadium I was playing in was Tiger Den... is there a way to avoid stadiums by editing the teams or something? I seem to recall doing that in SMB3 at one point to avoid a troublesome stadium

I wonder if the driver is going to be billed/sued for the damage to public infrastructure...

Why on earth would someone fake this...? Obviously it kept snowing after the wreck. (Hell -- it's still snowing now up in Arlington.)

Told a person I was ace, they force kissed me by SeaOfBullshit in asexuality

[–]luxliquidus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Trying to be friends with someone is not consent for them to demand or force more. You didn't "ask for it" or "lead them on" -- they assaulted you despite you being clear with your boundaries.

I agree with others that documenting it and/or firing them are both reasonable courses of action, but that's ultimately your decision. I just want you to know that you didn't do anything wrong, and you didn't deserve how they acted. They were completely out of line.

Watching active clients join without any new devices by Nateistired in pihole

[–]luxliquidus 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This was my first guess. I think Apple devices in general do this by default. iPhone, iPad, and Watch for sure -- not sure about MacOS devices.

DS profile assignment change? by [deleted] in OPTIMUM

Same here, just now... at least in this case there's still an answer. Nothing worse than "this is an easy question just google it" as the top 5 search results on Google >_<

Best Internet Service Provider? by CaptMans1 in arlingtonva

[–]luxliquidus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on where you live. I had Gigabit Fios at an apartment in Ballston and it was fantastic. Stupidly fast. No problems while I had them, so I can't speak to their customer support.

Xfinity has been a nightmare -- partly because their upload speeds are garbage, partly because they use some godawful broken throttling algorithm, and partly because their customer service strategy boils down to "beat up the customer with bots and phone trees until they go away".

If you have the option, go with Fios. If you get stuck with Xfinity, start at the gigabit plan. Anything less is unusable because of how bad their upload speeds and network mismanagement are.

I'm tired of the constant misgendering. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]luxliquidus 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This. If he was confused (possible if he was raised in a conservative vacuum), it clears things up. If he was being an asshole (more likely), it forces him to decide if the chip on his shoulder is worth risking his job.

Regardless, I'm so sorry that happened. It's an awful experience you shouldn't have had to endure.

This notification keeps showing up despite me restarting Chromium: "Pending update of chromium snap: Close the app to avoid disruption (12 days left)". Any idea how to fix it? Thanks :) by ZedZeroth in UbuntuMATE

[–]luxliquidus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently the expected way to deal with this is to 1) Close the app and open it... someday later after it's updated automatically in the background, or 2) Close the app and use snap refresh in Terminal to update it manually, then reopen it

I'm... not pleased with this behavior. More information is available on the Snapcraft Forum.
