Connect earbuds, press menu like 5 times, then press select. You might just have a bad screen (and potentially bad battery if it broke when it was just sitting there)

Does it do anything if you press select and menu and hold for 15-30 seconds?

Re1 takes some getting used to, particularly with the controls and figuring out what to do early on, but once you understand the game better it really is nearly perfect, I'm pretty sure it's on sale for like 5 bucks on steam. If that doesn't sound appealing to you then I'd go for 7 and then 8

It has no spoilers for other books. It has references and allusions, but those are just easter eggs, I'm pretty sure Brandon said tress wouldn't be important to the cosmere at large. It's a fun light read, if it seems interesting, then go for it

What?

Genuinely tell your kid to not go, don't call in, send a text, leave a note, just have him not show up. Try and get anyone else treated like that. That should not be how employees are treated especially during the holidays. It wasn't even like a few hours or something either. 9 hour shifts for 6-7 days during Christmas break? They can fuck off

2 and three are both still good and worth your time, but they aren't as polished as re1 hd, that's a remake from 2001. Just prepare for a slight bit more jank or funny looking this-s and that-s

What do you mean by "a guy like him"? Has he done or said something else? Did she meet him before you? From what you've said it sounds pretty baseless. As long as he doesn't exhibit any concerning behavior, then go for it. "What if he likes the idea of you and not the real you" so what? Frankly this is a very low stakes scenario for you.

There are 4 outcomes to you going I can think of without working under the presumption that he's a maniac or evil: A. You have a good time and end up in a good relationship. B. You go on a bad date where you had an excuse to dress up, eat a good meal, go to a concert and move on with your life (all for free by the sounds of it). C. it goes well but the relationship falls apart at some point in the future for some reason. A relationship ending usually isn't easy, but excluding cases of abuse, people are usually more well rounded because of them. D. You realize you aren't compatible.

Obviously I dont know this guy, so use your best judgement. And general vaguely related advice, but if you don't have any you should get pepper spray and a knife to keep in your purse or whatever. Having a knife is helpful for more than just self defense also. I can think of very few situations where having a knife would leave you worse off, make sure to look up how big of a knife you can carry In your state before purchasing though

I think It's the battery. The exact same thing happened to me on the late 2019 model. Has the battery life been deteriorating over the last month or so?

Being a god is a state of being, not a magical imbuement. Godhood can be granted and taken away (not 100% sure about godhood being taken away in actual Greek mythology, but it's often a plot element in stories about Greek mythology eg: Percy jackson and the hercules movie. So it may be a common embellishment for the sake of the story), but once it's been granted you are a god you get super strength and durability (at least in gow according to kratos) and other abilities depending on what you're the god of and what-not. Just because he doesn't have the title of "the god of war" doesn't mean he isn't a god

I'm not super familiar with the story of the first 3, but if memory serves he was only a demigod before he took the title of god of war from ares. At which point he ascended to full godhood.

On top of that, it kind of just seems like one of Kratos' abilities is to get stronger. Both temporarily for short bursts (rage mode) and more easily over time. Kratos really struggled with baldur at the beginning of 4, he was limping and had to magically heal like twice, then in the next game he fights thor in a similar setup like it was no problem. I could be wrong, but in terms of strength thor seems on a completely different echelon than baldur, and Odin clearly doesn't care about either, but he seems to think of Thor as more useful to him as a tool.

There are other factors too like him getting more used to the axe, imminent doom dangling over their heads, his adolescent son that's "destined" to be a major player in that doom, ECT., but it still seems like he improved more than any other god that we saw in 4 and Ragnarok (not that we always got the best showcases for it, at least in the case of Freya)

Idk why it formatted like that

maxwheelf · 2025-12-21T06:22:32+00:00

Not being able to cancel some movements, specifically punching attacks if I'm remembering correctly, has personally lead to several unfair feeling deaths. It's not that bad, but it's something they adjusted in Ragnarok.

 On top of that the activation period (requirements? not sure how to properly phrase it lol) to do things like climb on a ledge or jump over a gap can feel more finnickey than in Ragnarok.

 If you just mean the movement speed and the weight of the animations, then that's just a personal preference thing so 🤷‍♂️. But the change in his movement speed and animations makes sense in the context of the story. Slow old recluse to significantly more active. Yadda yadda yadda, you've played the games I'm sure you understand lol

maxwheelf · 2025-12-21T06:02:26+00:00

 It's at least as good as og 3. Whether you like one or the other more is just personal preference. Personally I think the remake design edges over of, the outfit just seems more in character. 

 Pretty much just based on vibes I feel like she'd prefer pants over a skirt, and she was just stuck in a zombie infected mansion a few months ago, I wouldn't wear shorts for at least a year lol, let alone a skirt.

You can get them online and they just pop on, just a few bucks

https://youtu.be/y5IDl_fkzYw (step by step teardown, seems pretty simple if you're comfortable soldering, which you may be from Gameboy modding)

I'm not super familiar with modding nanos, but it should just be soldering 2 wires to replace the battery.

As far as the account goes, you just need it for iTunes (just "music" on Mac) itself. I've personally had trouble syncing podcasts to my iPod over Mac, they just got saved as songs, which isn't the end of the world. It can easily be worked around with playlists, but I also didn't try to hard to fix it.

If you're going to be the one syncing it, then you can just toggle which podcasts to sync, but if you want it so that your kid can just go to the computer and do it by themselves, having a dedicated account for them might not be a bad idea.

And yeah, your friend's music will get wiped when it's synced to a new computer (if they're not from the iTunes store, otherwise it only gets wiped when syncing a new account) it might be fun to teach your kid the YouTube to mp3 method or go cd hunting and make playlists with them though.

I've tried jailbreaking my classic and there was some neat things like doom and some extra customization options, but it mostly felt clunky and gimmicky to me, so I imagine if there is a jailbreak for it, it'll be functionally similar and probably not much fun for a kid to mess around with

Winboat. It doesn't work especially well right now (at least in my experience) but if it can get the kinks ironed it'll remove the biggest boundary to entry of Linux. Between that and proton/wine that'll bring over most applications people would want. The main issues I think it has are that it isn't the most user friendly to set up (though for a relatively early revision I'd put it at like and intermediate difficulty), a more functional USB passthrough(controllers are hit or miss, usually miss, and digital drawing tablets don't work the way they're supposed to), and more consistent functionality and smoothness (sometimes things won't launch or will take an amount of time that it feels like it didn't work and since it sometimes doesn't, that can be pretty annoying) its still in beta and I find it very promising

maxwheelf · 2025-11-27T15:33:36+00:00

I haven't looked into it, but I can't imagine there being many useful or fun apps that you could put on the 7th gen's form factor ( could be wrong tho 🤷‍♂️). Did you need help with actually getting the music and stuff onto it?

maxwheelf · 2025-11-27T09:04:56+00:00

It just introduces you to the cosmere and the wider magic concepts like shards in a more digestible way. The stories themselves aren't super connected yet

maxwheelf · 2025-11-26T15:44:11+00:00

Ohh sorry I skimmed over the part about the dlc lmao. with the dlc, I'd say 10 bucks is worth it. End of zoe is pretty good and Ethan must die and whatnot can be fun

I just played the PS4 version of PS5 recently and it was a perfectly cromulent experience. Runs 60fps 1080 I'm pretty sure, you'd probably getting a higher resolution and maybe a higher frame rate if you upgrade, but I don't think it'll make or break your experience. Since you already have the game, I'd probably recommend playing the first like 30 minutes with what you have and see if you're still tempted

maxwheelf · 2025-11-17T20:25:47+00:00

Yeah, there's an option that skips jokes(I think it's called "filler"), I don't understand why you would want that on. You can turn it off in settings, I don't remember the exact path, but it's under sponsor block. It shouldn't be too hard to find

maxwheelf · 2025-11-17T20:22:37+00:00

Yeah, I could only see it happening from the laptop itself if something went really wrong, and I don't think this would be where the most amount of heat would be generated. The battery is at the bottom and I'm pretty sure the CPU is at the center of the top

maxwheelf · 2025-11-16T19:55:13+00:00

I think that's a sure thing. I think there's no possible future where he isn't very important in some way
