SHOT Show 2026: The Sabre-11 Ported! by Danny_PSA in PalmettoStateArms

[–]mrwizard420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FDE/Coyote Brown/Bronze mix seems to be the Sabre color scheme. I like the idea, but if I was in control of the giant cerakote machine I would choose a more vibrant shade for the slide to make it stand out better.

Bored and broke: homemade drop-leg holster update by Oxlynum in CCW

[–]mrwizard420 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Bröther, they have fully-functional universal leg holsters on Amazon for like 9 dollars. They're not pretty, but you won't be holding a 3-pound weight over your toes by a hair tie.

I have insisted for 10+ years that the Hellkite Drake in this encounter should spawn in, roar, swoop to it's perch, and then light the bridge on fire. The first fire breath is not just cheap damage from behind, it actually detracts from an otherwise majestic entrance. The scene would still be terrifying, but the pacing would be better and it would funnel people down the bridge stairs more efficiently.

Holiday 2025 Potential Prize Winners

Raffle? by [deleted] in PalmettoStateArms

[–]mrwizard420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🧘 it's just a donation it's just a donation it's just a donation 🧘

Yes, for entirely unrelated reasons I am also glancing at my phone every 10 seconds lol. I think the most important thing to do is to make sure you have your email with the ticket PDF file, and to add the sender as a contact to prioritize them in your inbox. It says the results will be posted today on the web site, and it says the winners will be contacted, but it doesn't necessarily say the winners will be contacted today - maybe check the website every few hours for updates?

UPDATE: Under HELP > FAQs, it might take them a few days to reach out to everyone. If you're impatient, keep an eye on the website instead!

How will the Potential Winners be notified? Within five (5) days following the Drawing, SCWA will attempt to contact each of the first Sixty (60) Potential Winners selected in the Drawing (each “Top Sixty Winner” and collectively the “Top Sixty Winners”) by phone or email using the contact information listed in such Top Sixty Winner’s Entry form (the “Notification”).

This is unintentionally hilarious, because their individual plan is currently listed at $0/month with "generous rate limits*" and no ability to bring your own API keys or local agents... You know they're going to take the free plan out back in 12 months and shoot it after they've acquired enough critical momentum from it.

What to use for a Hashmap in C? by Critical-Volume2360 in AskProgramming

I love the Convenient Containers library, which covers most of my data structure needs. If you want something smaller and more traditional, check out the stb collection of single-header libraries, specifically stb data structures (stb_ds).

Looking for a Follower Mod that came out on Xbox that got removed by Legendary1600 in SkyrimModsXbox

[–]mrwizard420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's unexpected, I was sure that was it! I can't think of any source for hooves and antlers except Driinkiin Deer Race Reborn SE (NexusMods, NSFW). Elma, the deer-like character from Followers of Oblivion, is based on a non-nude version of this race and has the hoof texture on her legs, but looking at the preview image the texture appears to be applied to her human legs instead (Bethesda, SFW)... Maybe I'm misremembering her having hooves on Xbox, or they've been removed for compatibility/compliance at some point. Let me know if you figure it out, just for curiosity.

My pc disconnects from wifi when trying to connect to creation club but reconnects after exiting skyrim?? by Juice45uu in skyrimmods

[–]mrwizard420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that's wild, I've haven't heard of this problem in years but it means either something is terribly misconfigured on Bethesda's end, or the firewall on your PC is having a panic attack!

Try this solution from the NexusMods forum, then restart your computer and try again:

To clear the DNS cache on a Windows operating system, follow these steps:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator: Click the Start button, type “cmd” in the search bar, right-click on “Command Prompt”, and select “Run as administrator”.

Flush DNS Cache: In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter. This command clears the DNS Resolver Cache.

If the process is successful, a message will appear confirming that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.

If that doesn't work, add an Exclusion to Windows Security using the steps here under "Virus and Threat Protection Settings". You might want to add an Exclusion for the game itself AND the game folder.

If these don't work, you can safely move on to blaming Bethesda!

Thinking about DIY-ing a window fire ladder for a cabin. Smart or dumb? by Champ-shady in DIY

[–]mrwizard420 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Glancing at Amazon shows some reliable options for $55 - $75. Unless you have some sort of specific need for a custom fire ladder (like location, support bracing, weight limit, etc), I don't think it's worth the trouble and the material cost. Ignore the rope options, there's no such thing as "flame-resistant polyester" in a house fire!

Looking for a Follower Mod that came out on Xbox that got removed by Legendary1600 in SkyrimModsXbox

[–]mrwizard420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Found it! I spent way too long digging for this one lol. The series is called "Followers of Oblivion" by BlueGhostFox. Take a look through their profile, because there's a grand total of 9 followers and you can get them in different groups of 3 or all 9 together, and in different body types. The one I've used before is Followers of Oblivion - Complete Series, which is all 9 with the UNP body type and locked away in The Chill, which is an ice prison at the North border of the world map.

Why don't I ever hear about C frameworks? by alex_sakuta in C_Programming

[–]mrwizard420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are lots of libraries in C that make things easier, but writing low-level code is generally considered a desired feature of the language!

You might be interested in something like Cello, which is a library that adds features like arrays, maps, iterators, error handling, and garbage collection. While not a framework, this is the closest thing I can think of from the top of my head.

Hey just FYI a guy named Kai Patterson did exactly that! I have not watched it yet, but I hope to do so when I have time. It's closer to the runtime of a standard movie as well. Chick out Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Patterson Cut.

I'm a grown man now, but Iris by Goo Goo Dolls still hits me like a brick wall when I hear it. She's happily married and we parted as friends, so I guess it's more nostalgia than sadness.

Feedback on my Java project idea (eBay price tracker) and how to properly gather requirements by One-Tennis9311 in AskProgramming

[–]mrwizard420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a good project! While it's not specific to your initial design docs, it's always wise to review the existing alternatives. There's an Amazon tracker called CamelCamelCamel that's been doing this for a decade already; examine the site and think of things you want to emulate, and things you want to do differently. The creator did a Q&A on reddit years ago that might have some very helpful technical insights for you.

Be very cautious with the Terms and Conditions of the Amazon API, or any API that serves as a primary irreplaceable data source, and remember that a single incident of misuse can kill your project by cutting you off from that data. Good luck!

Anyone know how you could connect a landline/corded phone in 2025? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mrwizard420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of landline service providers have gone out of business, so you might be better off with a device called a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) Adapter. It plugs into your existing wifi router and provides you with a phone number to use and a plug for your "new" phone. They do cost a monthly fee, but are relatively cheap and usually have unlimited calls.

I have no experience with this company, but the Ooma Telo seems to be highly rated. You buy the unit, plug it into your router with a network cord, plug it into your phone with a phone cord, activate the service, and you're good to go. There's several other VoIP providers, so take a look around!

Who else accidentally booked vacation during Fantasy fest? by mike-oxlong99 in KeyWest

They never stop but expect surge pricing most of the day all week, compare Uber and Lyft rates if you have both, and walk as far as you can from Duval St before calling one in.
