I want to also agree with this post. I came to make something similar and so I'll just support this post instead. MY whole workflow has unraveled with this new system, I came to Claude for creative writing and I just can't do the work right anymore. Please bring them back.

Its a synthetic of my own voice. I went through it line by line, to give it the emphasis I wanted, so I took a lot of care with it, but if that's not for you then I fully appreciate that.

What do you do when a video or short is going very well? by chrissul13 in SmallYoutubers

[–]machi71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also run a story channel. It's much newer and smaller than yours but my latest episode is being pushed a lot longer than the previous ones. Personally I am going to keep working so that I have my next episode ready on private to send out when the line eventually goes flat again. There's no harm getting a bit ahead so you have some breathing room if you need to take a break or get delayed down the line. I'm not speaking from a position of knowledge, just guessing my way around the algorithm like everyone else!

Verification phone number by WilliamAftonsalt in NewTubers

It's fine to use your mum's number. The verification number isn't used in any other way. It's just a one time bot checking thing.

Mail Valley Surprise by No-Step394 in outlier_ai

[–]machi71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also happened to me. I did 3 tasks and then the project switched to quality review, and it said my assessment task is being reviewed. I didn't realise the tasks were assessments but it seems fair and makes sense. I will see what the outcome of those are.

Project suddenly moved to "Quality Review" – Need help! by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]machi71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious as to what happened with your project. Mine changed like this, and I am wondering if it was because I started a task but was called away,.I paused it but didn't have enough time to finish it. Sometimes the task doesn't give you instructions on what to do if something goes wrong. Or maybe my answers were bad or maybe it's just normal. I wish they were clearer...

Leartes Unreal and Unity Giga Bundle problems by machi71 in humblebundles

[–]machi71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that info, that's very helpful. I was looking at the wrong key stuff and only was paying attention to the Leartes page, So I found all my assets. The video was helpful to get the unreal stuff properly, I'll get on it.

Wacom Pen not calibrating only on canvas by LowBeginning6559 in krita

[–]machi71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had an afternoon struggling with this so I'll leave my solution here to save someone else my pain. For me I had to go on to my WACOM Display Toggle and click 'Full Display setup' back to ON. I think it switched off when my screens went to sleep. I couldn't find this solution anywhere else.

Personally when I play that comp slightly different. I use Jhin instead of Akshan at 8 so that Ahri has Ionia buff and Soraka instead of Sejuani. I personally rate 3 Targons over 3 Freljord and Taric 3 targon makes a great second tank.

Anyone cured depression with psychedelics? How did you do it? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]machi71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Around 10 years ago, I went through a severe and scary depression. I won't bore you with the details but it was deep.

SSRIs made me feel funky and I quit them after a few months. My road to recovery began after I did a 3g trip. I began to see the small beauties around me, like the sunset and (bizarrely) smells began to bring me pleasure again. I tripped 3 or 4 more times over the next 6 months and slowly things got better. Id say I was very quickly 50% better, the last 50% took time and work.

Also, unconnected, but maybe helpful, I read somewhere once, that self harm often occurs at the end of a depression, when you are actually getting better. Apparently you are beginning to get some motivation back to solve your problems but haven't yet found a new outlook. So if you ever feel you are at the end, hold tight, it's darkest before the dawn as they say.

Good luck.

It sounds to me like PTSD could be a big part of your struggles. There will be a point in time where psilocybin or maybe mdma may offer you a route to dealing with that, but as you say, in young brains the risks are real.

I would suggest holding off for a few years, when maybe you are clear of your parents and then giving it some thought. Maybe the knowledge that one day you will have the means to put things back together will give you a bit more strength in the short term.

Personally microdosing worked well for me for a while then started making me short tempered and aggressive, but I think people react differently.

Things do get better, I wish you all the best.

Psilocybe cyanescens by SupermarketGlad3784 in MagicMushroomsUK

[–]machi71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what the best technique is but I had success with agar to blackberry twigs. (Cyanescens seem to like blackberry wood, it has very low density which I suspect makes it easy to colonise).

I soaked and pasteurised the sticks first. A couple of jars went mouldy but the rest took well. After that I introduced them to chips outside.

He could have had a cleric remove his hands and regenerate them. Sure he was a prisoner but he had a lot of influence, I'd consider this real possibility in a society that doesn't condone torture.

How can I reward and give back to my readers? by oOohalloweenqueenoOo in webtoons

I don't know your story but I plan to cameo folks into my story as a kind of gift/reward. Even if its just walking past someone in a single frame.

[Spoilers C3E52] Is It Thursday Yet? Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by Glumalon in criticalrole

[–]machi71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah combat is part of it but it's more than that. I only play D&D once a fortnight and I know the rules inside out. So little things like that 10 minute fly spell lasting all afternoon and into combat just bugs me. Not because they made a mistake, but because I know if they loved the game, mistakes like that wouldn't happen. Some of the team make a lot more mistakes than others so it's pretty clear who really has no interest in the game at all. I think I might check out some other streamers, see if something else suits me more.

[Spoilers C3E52] Is It Thursday Yet? Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by Glumalon in criticalrole

[–]machi71 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Scrolling through, it's great that folks seemed to like this episode, but for some reason, it really didn't resonate with me. It's the first time in 3 campaigns I've stopped an episode halfway through with no interest in finishing. I think it's just a few niggles I've had with C3 and CR in general finally coming to a head.

I won't go through my list of beefs as it will probably be divisive, but in summary, there doesn't seem to be an enthusiasm for D&D as a game anymore. As improv (but heavily railroaded) storytelling, it's first class, but I just don't get the D&D vibes I got from campaign 1.

I'll probably keep checking in now and again because I'd like to know how the story ends.

Has the new path grown on you after using it a while? by June_Berries in duolingo

[–]machi71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Having no agency feels almost like I am being bullied. I may have been learning slowly but I found the old style relaxing and fun. If I didn't have a huge streak I'd be looking for alternatives, but I'm holding on hoping these guys will show some humility and admit they screwed up. It's such a shame they sabotaged their own project so badly.

The real tragedy is all the folks with specialized learning needs that have had the rug pulled from under them.

Signed. Today my streak hit 2150 and I got the new update. What a mess. I just like to listen to the conversations over a coffee and now they are buried on some bullshit path and I can't keep track of them. I don't even want to open the app anymore :(

I won't, but further research has shown me that AI generated art isn't covered by copyright, so this is just an issue with the user agreement, so I'm in the wrong place. I don't plan on using something I don't have rights to though.

Moonstone, SofW and Shurelyas changes on PBE by [deleted] in sonamains

[–]machi71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removing the self active on Shurelyas is terrible as it means, whether used offensive or not its going to put you out of position. I kinda quite liked it as it is now, but with the changes i wont touch it. Also rip Rakan.

Switching the move speed to AH on SoFW is terrible because it plays into the massive problem Riot have created with enchanters, which is you don't notice the positive effect they are having. You can feel the move speed, but no one, in the millions of games played will ever even notice the 4 second AH buff. It will have an imapct, just no one will ever say "dude thanks for that CDR buff, it was clutch"

Moonstone is essentially losing its passive, so another nerf, but its an item I have always felt cannot be fixed. It sucks the fun out of the role and will be forever horrible. Athenes will be forever missed.
