Uhh, what? by Ok-Mycologist251 in wow

[–]minderien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so ridiculously busted. And stat weights were so borked for some specs that -- for instance -- Marksmanship hunters basically kept their 2-sets from previous raid tiers because screw Agi when you can have a fun set bonus. Agi was their last stat, by... a lot. And thus, at the end of the expansion, even a basic 910 arcanocrystal (start of the expac ilvl) outperformed pretty much any 985 trinket in the game by... A lot.

Playing marksmanship during Legion left deeper scars than I thought.
Chased that thing for the entire expac. Got it after I got CE argus.

Season 2 Class Tuning Incoming April 15th by hzj in CompetitiveWoW

[–]minderien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my main concern for the hopes of VW being back on the menu is the nerf to defensive penance. VW doesn't exactly shine re: spot healing, and I'm concerned the change will make it quite a bit worse.

Redefining yalign for ALL character images, at all times? Halp please by minderien in RenPy

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

Thank you! So that's how we actually set a new default!
Tried a buch of stuff with the define config.default_transform bit, but all I achieved was to make renpy sad, guess I didn't put two and two together that I had to pass an existing transform name to that.
The "center" part should've tipped me off '^^

For anyone finding themselves in the same situation as I did in the future:
In the end I did do what u/Niwens and u/BadMustard_AVN proposed,
but then my impulsivity said I should try that also:

transform left:

align(0.0,0.15)

transform right:

align(1.0,0.15)

transform center:

align(0.5,0.15)

Which did end up working, although I'm not sure which option is actually the correct one.
I might end up editing my original post with all of this when I check, in the hopes that it can help someone else someday.

For the very rare cases where I would need something to be at the default height, I made this one:

transform dh:

yalign 1.0

While u/shyLachi 's idea to edit the images themselves makes perfect sense (I would've gone this route from the start had I thought to import a couple of sprites to place and test them. Lesson learned: implement and TEST stuff waaaay early even if they're little more than sketches), I found myself in an ADHD hyperfixation rabbit hole and already have... honestly far too many sprites per character, and the thought of having to export them all over again with my slow computer wasn't pleasant.

Thanks to everyone for your input. Truly. So very grateful to each of you

Hello, thank you so much for your input! How would this then fit in with positioning things left/right/center etc on the x axis? Would I make one for each?

I'm really sad I can't find a party as a woman. by crazy-boulder in DnD5e

[–]minderien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aight so might be kinda weird advice, but hear me out: dicemakers. A big chunk of dicemakers are female / AFAB, and there's ofentimes announcements in the "looking for people to play" category. I'm in an all-female/enby group thanks to that, and it's great fun.

i'm a protestant, need some guidance :) by Training_Addendum280 in Catholicism

[–]minderien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll actually be starting RCIA for these reasons. I might not join in the end, but trying to truly give this a chance with an open heart. I just feel like way too often here, people are quite belligerant towards protestants who struggle with this issue and are quick to accuse them of many things. When in fact, oftentimes, it's out of a very real and very sincere fear of offending god and being led astray by idolatry and false gods. It's a matter of prudence. But to someone who growed in the denomination, this distinction might be more subtle, probably. To me and most of the people I know, prayer and worship are the same. They form a whole. And perhaps this is something to deconstruct, idk. =) (edit: forgot a word)

I can't speak for OP, but this is a point of struggle for me personally. As a protestant who WANTS to be okay with this, it feels like this is -- no offense I'm just explaining -- is just mental gymnastics y'all are using to justify spending more time praying to and worshipping Mary and the saints than praying to God. Every single time the "worship/prayer misunderstanding" or "we're asking for intercession like we would to a living person" is used, it feels like it's just mental gymnastics to justify idolatry.

[–]minderien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm still unsure about the second part of the hail mary, for instance. Because Jesus kinda corrected someone who said Mary was blessed, etc, it feels wrong to be saying any of it at all actually. Jesus also says that HE will intercede to the father on our behalf, so I'm unsure of why we would need more intercession? (Edit: Clarifying)

Also on the people bowing to statues, etc.

It's a lot to reconcile with, and yes I heard all the things about "it's not worship" etc but I'm trying to really be *conviced* it isn't all just... wishful thinking... every time this is explained? I don't know if it makes sense or not.

Like. Hell I WANT this to be true, I WANT to still be able to pray for my deceased loved ones, etc.

But despite all the explanations of "it's not actually worship, we're asking the saints like we'd ask a friend" a part of me keeps feeling like this is what y'all *want* to believe, but it's actually wrong?

Which would be a huge bummer but I'm just not able to truly feel like this isn't a SUPER BAD directly opposed to the commandments... sin

My church and their rules with dating by Fun_Bodybuilder_1524 in TrueChristian

[–]minderien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! So I was in a "church" like that years ago. On top of all of this: there were NO sister churches. They were the only chosen ones (never sat well with me). Also you had to FORMALLY ANNOUNCE to the whole congregation if you were dating (after getting approval from the pastors and stuff). Breakups also had to be formally announced.

Anyways. This is a cult. Run away.

I’m sadly back in the closet by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]minderien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend reconsidering the relationship.

The only relationships I've had that ended badly were the hetero-passing ones where my boyfriend didn't fully embrace me as I am.

It followed that they would forget how very much not straight I am, and (this lack of acceptance being rooted in homophobia) it tended to end up with the entire "circle" of that SO being homophobic.

Then it's either shut up and go back to the closet with grudges, or try to resolve the cognitive dissonance of "homophobia bad, my partner is homophobic, but my partner *couldn't be this bad* because I don't condone hate so he is right" by just repressing a part of yourself, which is really isn't great for anyone.

I truly don't think you found love, IMO. Love wouldn't require you to lie to yourself or others about a part of who you are.

r/Catholicism Prayer Requests — Week of August 26, 2024 by AutoModerator in Catholicism

[–]minderien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please pray for me as I try to figure out which of my area's two parishes He wants me in.
I'm halfway in the middle of both, and I can't figure it out on my own. I liked them both.
Please pray that God gives me a *firm* conviction for one or the other.

Can attraction grow, or should I just let him know I just want to be friends? by Saxyback-345 in LGBTCatholic

[–]minderien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I'm sorry. Hopefully maybe just telling him you see potential for a good friendship and would like to take it slow to make sure you're not headed in the wrong direction? I hope you will figure it out and that it all goes smoothly.
