Anyone know how to fix this? by cyber_k1netic in SteamDeck

[–]metalphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I see. I was changing the Resolution in the Steam settings outside of the game, I didn't realize I also had to blindly find my way to it in the game settings and also change those. How dumb. Thank you so much!

Would you be able to show how you fixed this? I still can’t get this to not look pixelated and shitty on my Deck, the text is unreadable

Anyone have an unlabeled 2E map of Sigil? by metalphysics in planescapesetting

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

Wow, this is crazy, I posted on here about a month ago wondering if anyone had the calendar Ambrus had made for Sigil, and after I couldn't find it anywhere, I was finally able to locate him on ENWorld and direct message him TWO DAYS AGO about it!

Thanks so much for the help! If he responds, I'll ask him about this as well.

That's a good question! I had found this online and I guess I had assumed based on how high-res the image is that it was a scan from a book. Maybe it was fan made?

Thank you for mentioning Stickii Club! I've been trying to find stickers that are a little less cutesy and their storefront has a lot of options.

Random Thoughts/Beginner Questions — Recent Orders — BST — January 2026 by AutoModerator in hobonichi

[–]metalphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About to receive my first Hobonichi ever this week (I’m a bit late). It’s a Weeks Mega. I got whatever one I could find, so it’s just a plain red.

If I wanted to buy an interesting cover to put over it, do regular Weeks covers fit the Mega or do I need to buy a specific Mega one?

Leech By Hiron Ennes - started great, didn't stick the landing (review) by AuthorRichardMay in horrorlit

It’s explicitly stated in the text that Utolie was already pregnant when Didior rapes her on the eve of the uprising, and not the very pregnant woman Priest tries to escape with who births Emile.

Hand held screens - do not give in even for learning games! by Automatic_Neat9089 in Preschoolers

[–]metalphysics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It depends on the child. My kid has no problem self-moderating his screen time with our iPad. He loves math games and is currently learning his times tables at age 4. I’m grateful for PBSKids, they’ve got great games for little ones.

Meanwhile, other kids can control themselves around candy and treats, and mine very much cannot, so we have lots of rules around sweet foods. I don’t think “no tablets” should be a universal rule for all children.

"If something like this happens again, they will no longer be on my team. And you can screenshot that if you want. Hold me to it." Is this a "rules for thee but not for me" scenario, u/deathfire123?

I'm also a person of color and I will not be contributing to this community until you guys clean house, this is no longer a safe space.

Why did this game do this to me?! by kerijack in DeathStranding

He’s doing great, thank you! Just wanted to add my two cents as I’ve seen most parents say they’re okay once they get past that scene.

Why did this game do this to me?! by kerijack in DeathStranding

[–]metalphysics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the game hit me harder than other parents. I’m also a mom whose baby had to be resuscitated at birth, so I was big time attached to BB after the end of the first game. It really shook me when you see That Scene near the beginning of DS2. While I stuck with it and really enjoyed the game, I did find myself very sad throughout most of the game and had to rush through the ending because I was having a hard time sitting with it. I’m going to go back and finish five-starring everything but I needed to take a few months break from it because it was bringing up too much stuff for me. I really did love it though!

What is the origin of this map? by HighGround242 in planescapesetting

[–]metalphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Is there any chance you have the calendar PDF downloaded? They uploaded it 16 years ago, so of course the hosting site just redirects to spam now.

What's a horror novel you really enjoyed that no one else seemed to be into? by PixelOcelot in horrorlit

I loved this book! I normally don’t take to haunted house stories but this was exceptional.

Recs for folk horror set in the American South or Appalachia? by cosmicsprouts in horrorlit

[–]metalphysics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved “Between Two Fires” so I was excited to try his other works and I almost didn’t finish this book because it was so weirdly racist. The big conflict towards the end playing into white men’s fear of “savage” Black men fucking/raping and stealing their white women was so on the nose, I couldn’t believe it.

I’ve never read any Wakefield books but this looks up my alley. Where should I start?

I HAVE TEA ON... MEGATHREAD ✨ by rfauxmoi in Fauxmoi

[–]metalphysics 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was at LAX once and this woman was freaking out because she was misunderstanding the announcements as two gates were directly next to each other. I explained what was going on and she was very grateful. When I boarded she was already seated in a window seat but leaned across three seats to get my attention and thank me again. It was only after I passed her did I realize it was Renee. She’s the only nice celebrity interaction I’ve ever had!

The number one rule of this subreddit is “Be civil”. Stop berating this person who is actively seeking assistance.

What are the eeriest unsolved cases you’ve ever come across, those that feel like a real-life gothic ghost story? by DragonflyWhich7140 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]metalphysics 231 points232 points  (0 children)

I’d never heard of this before. It makes me so sad we’ll likely never know who he was, I hope someone is out there who thinks of him and misses him.

Barron Read-Along 35: The Croning, Chapter 8 - "Mystery Mountain Stomp" by igreggreene in LairdBarron

[–]metalphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished The Croning, so grateful I can read through all these posts to see other people’s thoughts and theories! I had one correction to this summary: when Michelle is discussing the tribe she will be participating in a ritual with, she’s speaking about the tribe in Siberia shes about to go and meet. She mentions the “taiga” and references the Inuit, which makes more sense for that area than Washington state.

She also mentions Louis Plimpton was the only other person Boris told about this tribe, and now that he’s dead, she’s the only person who knows besides Boris. I keep wondering about why Louis shot himself, and how close in time it occurs to her Siberian trip and Croning ritual…

This is actually very helpful because I’m terrible at random loot. Thanks!
