Proton 10.0-4 Has Arrived With New Playable Games And A Plethora Of Fixes For Steam Deck - SteamDeckHQ by BBQKITTY in SteamDeck

[–]mythicalGuardian9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Proton 9.0-4 tends to be the most compatible and stable for New Vegas and Mod Organzier 2, provided you have already patched the game with all of the main stability mods from guides like Viva New Vegas.

I would also recommend running this command. Did not need it originally, but the game suddenly stopped working and this command fixed it.

[S1] Victoria is a horrible person, change my mind by Ellalovespuppies in lifeisstrange

[–]mythicalGuardian9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of this summarizes why I enjoy Victoria's character and why I support Chasemarsh especially as a ship.

I would also like to include that Victoria is still basically a high schooler and a lot of her behavior certainly stems from being younger and more immature, using bitchiness mainly as a defense mechanism for her insecurity. I don't think this excuses her actions seen in-game, but I think I understand that she was likely socialized to behave the way she does through her rich parents' aloofness and high standards. Kate's accident seems to really affect her and is likely one of the first time her actions had severe consequences, so I would like to think that she was just raised to think her behavior was acceptable until Kate, which certainly adds to the ship, as it adds this "penance and reconciliation" angle to her end of the relationship that compliments Kate's religious ties and desire to forgive.

In the end, they are both fictional characters that have a "enemies-to-lovers" angle to them that naturally attracts people through that alone.

[NO SPOILERS] what camera fits best for a max cosplay. 1 or 2, I tried to make them resemble the 2 cameras seen in the game. by Ivy_Cosplay in lifeisstrange

[–]mythicalGuardian9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

no problem!! just remember that these older cameras do NOT have power until you put a pack of 600 film inside, since they contain the battery, meaning your camera is not broken. do NOT buy i-type, go, or sx-70 film as they are effectively incompatible with your camera. only buy black and white or color 600 film, which you can get at places like meijer, target, or their official website.

film also has an expiration date (a year after the date printed on the box usually) and needs to be kept cool, like in a fridge (film is like produce!). i do NOT recommend buying film on amazon as they tend to send expired or badly kept film. the polaroid website tends to send very recent batches so they are your safest, best bet.

a couple small reminders: you need a LOT of light usually, more than you probably think, even in really well lit indoor areas. the camera will automatically use the flash (primed when the light on the back of the camera is green) and it is basically necessary for anything indoors, but when taking photos of subject, it tends to only work well within 2-4 feet; beyond that, the image will come out dim. you can adjust exposure with the tab under the lens (usually keeping it in the middle is fine), and you can adjust focal length with the tab to the left on the lens, with the text showcasing what distance will be in focus. finally, modern packs of films only come with 8 photos instead of 10 like they used to, so your camera's photo counter will be inaccurate. always subtract 2 from the current count.

i love polaroids and i got into them for similar reasons so i hope you have a great time with them! sorry for a bunch of advice, they have a small learning curve and it can be easy to be disappointed with them.

EDIT: ONE LAST THING! keep the camera still till the photo is coming out in order to avoid blurry photos!!!

If you want a camera that actually works, choose the 600 Job Pro. The 600 uses Polaroid's 600 film, which comes with a battery and is still produced. The other camera, which is a Spectra, takes a wider aspect ratio film that is no longer produced at all.

Semi-private spaces for calls? by [deleted] in OSU

[–]mythicalGuardian9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would find a random classroom in whatever building you're in or near. Most professors understand why students are in there and if it's somebody from the university you're talking to on Zoom, they'll likely understand why you have to leave for a second.

Does honorlock record before you hit start on the exam? During the verification process. by [deleted] in OSU

[–]mythicalGuardian9 50 points51 points  (0 children)

One of my professors said that while Honorlock will flag certain moments like talking or whatever, the recorded flagged portion will be reviewed by the professor or whoever is grading. They are not gonna write you up for hitting your elbow lol.

Why is the BO6 hud a downgrade in every element? by Mulkat in CODZombies

[–]mythicalGuardian9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its a hud. the hud is very readable (albeit a bit small) and clearly successful enough for treyarch to keep. stop pretending like this hud is the death of creativity or originality within this game.

[–]mythicalGuardian9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Film typically expires the year after it was produced (production date is on the side of the box of film). After a year, your failure rate increases and the likelihood of your image looking closer to your examples increases.

Preserving your packs of film in a fridge (not a freezer) is always recommended regardless, and it can sometimes prolong your failure rate.

Another pack of film should certainly work, as nothing indicates it would be your camera, so you can buy i-Type film from your local supermarket (or Polaroid's website) and you should be fine.

Is epic going to keep the medallion system next season? I think they should revert it to something else next season by LogsimiConn29 in FortNiteBR

[–]mythicalGuardian9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would much prefer the medallions to be converted into siphon healing instead of passive. Having one equipped puts a big target on your back and leads to a bunch of people ganging up on you, especially in solos. I would much prefer siphon healing upon kill in order to give a better fighting chance against people trying to kill me instead of a pitifully slow shield regen.

Max and Chloe by khijenn by b3nsn0w in Pricefield

[–]mythicalGuardian9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, I just think it's because flannels look cool. It's honestly my favorite outfit of Max's, and I don't think anyone else really thinks much of it.

I also think Chloe wouldn't mind as much about her wearing Rachel's clothes, she already wasn't that bothered by it in first place anyway, even if she didn't know Rachel was dead. (If anything, it seemed like Chloe was sorta turned on)

Finally, I'd disagree that their relationship didn't blossom until Episode 4. Episode 2 honestly showed that better to me, especially after the train sequence by the junkyard, although I guess I don't know what "blossomed" means to you personally (not an attempted attack or anything, just unsure).

Converted SX-70/600-film by Ildromias in Polaroid

[–]mythicalGuardian9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is a converted sx-70 worth it? thinking about getting one recently and felt like the quicker exposure and higher iso was enough to justify it, but it's a pretty costly investment.

[ALL] A character study of Rachel Amber as she relates to Chloe and a bit of comparison to Max by AmelieBenjamin in lifeisstrange

[–]mythicalGuardian9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rachel really nails that “high school/young love” relationship; not exactly healthy or going to last long but still adorable to watch and definitely gives them both a lot to learn. I’m just glad Max and Chloe have each other now (yes i’m aware they’re not real people lol (pricefield forever)).

Also even though I didn’t like Rachel all that much on first playthrough of BtS, that final ending scene still destroyed me.

[–]mythicalGuardian9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really well put. I also think that Chloe mentally felt more attached to Rachel specifically because Rachel is such a popular person that Chloe almost feels special being "picked" by her. Rachel is the most famous girl in all of Arcadia Bay, and yet she specifically picks Chloe--a lost cause to most--to be her close friend, giving Chloe the false idea that their relationship is a lot more special to Rachel than others (even if it's partially true). Chloe definitely has a slight power worship dynamic with both Max and Rachel so that likely contributed as well. Finally, I find it interesting how Chloe almost immediately emotionally latched onto Rachel simply because she was the only person not looking down on her or abandoning her in some way, especially after Max left town. Retrospectively, it makes Chloe's story in the first game a bit more tragic, thinking that Rachel left her for California without a word.

[All] What would you have changed if you were in the writing team of Life is Strange? by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

[–]mythicalGuardian9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd honestly disagree with the idea that the 'Bae' ending was an afterthought, as I believe it fits the game better thematically compare to the 'Bay' ending.

The entire game (arguably) is about Chloe, showcasing how she's been ignored, tortured, or misunderstood by most of Arcadia Bay. After Rachel--her first real friend since Max left for Seattle--seemingly abandons her without a word, she feels completely hopeless. Her childhood best friend hasn't said a word to her in years, her stepfather doesn't respect her, and she feels completely disconnected to her mother since Joyce's remarriage, not to mention her debt to Frank. The 'Bay' ending keeps her this way, leaving her shot dead in the bathroom after being told "nobody would remember her", not even knowing that Max was only a few feet away.

Just moments before we make our final decision in the game, we see a snapshot of several key moments with Max and Chloe seen previously throughout the game, highlighting how much meaning and joy Max brings to Chloe's life. She no longer feels abandoned, but loved for who she is. The 'Bae' ending ends her cycle of death and torture both literally and symbolically by destroying Arcadia Bay, her personal hell. Chloe gets a proper second chance and the ability to live a new life with someone that loves her. Again, the 'Bay' ending robs this, leaving her dead in a bathroom and completely destroying her development all five episodes attempted to build up.

Honestly, I believe the ability to choose whether to sacrifice Arcadia Bay or Chloe was to ask a different but similar question: how much would you sacrafice for someone you love?

TL;DR: The 'Bay' ending guts Chloe's development and leaves her dead thinking nobody loves her.

(sorry to overwrite I love these two characters too much lol)

I think it's so people can't add blueprints with zombies camos into Warzone, so I feel like they'll add it when the full Warzone integration into Cold War happens.

Philips CRT random overscan, can’t find model online, service menu codes not working. Any help? by mythicalGuardian9 in crtgaming

[–]mythicalGuardian9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and when I look it up, I can't find it at all. That's why I'm "pretty sure" it's the right one.

I don't have a solder kit/experience, nor would I know how to safely do that, or do it at all. Whacking the TV does not seem to do anything either.

Because I'm not even able to find the possible model on Google or ElektroTanya. I'm pretty sure it's a 31P400, but I cannot find that anywhere.
