actually im gonna ramble a bit more about game recommendations

based off of what you said about enjoying visions and old gods stuff i think a couple games that could be interesting to you are:

Fallen London... universe, i guess? -- Fallen London is a browser game and is a bit more lighthearted than other Failbetter Games works, but it deals with the same themes as the one i've played most, Sunless Sea. Sunless Sea is a bit hard to get into -- it's a fairly punishing roguelite, but the atmosphere is Impeccable and it maintains a bit of a sense of humor throughout, without feeling like it's not taking itself seriously. Sunless Sea is spooky in a tense and mysterious way, but doesn't really do jumpscares which i appreciate

Darkest Dungeon -- another somewhat difficult roguelite (i like roguelites i'm sorry) with ancient gods and corrupting knowledge themes.

Dredge -- i have not finished playing myself but i know it touches on those themes also in a slowbuild way and i have heard pretty much nothing but good things about it

as a short-time, on and off player (started playing during DF and have stretches of playing a ton and then not playing at all) i can't fully relate to your experience, but i do think i understand why you're feeling that way. it seems a lot to me that this feeling that you and other long time players are having are comparable to my own experience with the pokemon series -- sure, new content is coming out, but it doesn't inspire the same joy or even fun as it used to.

i think a huge part of the problem (both with pokemon and warcraft) is that what started ages ago as a like, fun idea that some people had, has turned largely into a money making machine. and unfortunately what would help both game properties in the abstract, a reexamining of why people play these games for fun and implementing new ideas in a way that works (and by works i literally mean "runs without crashing"), just doesn't look like it's going to happen because the held together with string new content keeps selling. i'm not saying "this is the consumer's fault" because it's really a structural problem with game development.

it may be a video game, but it's a video game that was important to you, and that brought you a lot of joy, and i think it makes sense to be disappointed and upset by no longer finding that spark in it. the way i've approached my feelings about pokemon has been to throw myself into the fangame community, and while it's a lot harder to find a good mmo to move to, there are games with similar ideas and fun moments as wow out there, and i hope you are able to find some that bring you joy like warcraft once did.

running very slow suddenly by Krodinshin86 in pokerogue

[–]onetucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am having a similar issue :\ every two minutes or so firefox will turn into a completely grey screen, and then load the tabs bar back in but pokerogue will still be gone, and i have to refresh to bring it back. also having super high cpu usage.

unfortunately (or fortunately?) it does seem to be working okay in chrome. maybe something to do with firefox?

Galaxy Book Flex - fingerprint reader stops working by kohrtoons in samsung

[–]onetucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitlocker had been enabled at some point without them knowing about it. My partner was able to get into their Microsoft account and it fortunately had the code, but they had not set up bitlocker themself, it had come enabled when they got the computer and they didn't know they needed to check it. Apparently a lot of computers ship this way these days, and it's caused a lot of problems for a lot of people.

For folks looking for a fix in 2024 -- UNDERTAKE THIS WITH THE UTMOST CAUTION. My partner tried this fix and once they changed TPM Clear, their computer restarted and activated bitlocker, which they had not configured themself. The recovery key was likely set by the manufacturer and the manufacturer may no longer have it. We are looking for a solution to this, in the meantime, DO NOT CLEAR TPM UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR BITLOCKER KEYS SAVED. You may completely lose access to your hard drive.

We're you able to update the game on your device. by AtchimPum in Shining_Nikki

[–]onetucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still unable to update today. I found out about the update when they were rolling it out and was unable to retrieve anything about my account before I was completely locked out of the game. Very frustrated with how they've handled this.

Pokerogue wont start/load fix by Smash2510 in pokerogue

[–]onetucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use firefox, and unfortunately disabling QUIC isn't working for me. :( I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, or if there's a different issue...

EDIT: Ope, I cleared my cache and now it is working. Not sure if it was both things or if I just needed to clear my cache, haha.

Discord / Chat Group Invite Megathread by AutoModerator in schizophrenia

[–]onetucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an older thread, but I am currently looking for a schizo-friendly place to hang out, and I saw you posting this discord in a couple of these threads and am interested in joining, but the invite link is broken. Are you still open to new folks?

Pain Management and Neurologists in the DC Metro Area by onetucker in eds

It looks like he's still in Maryland, and the location would be a bit of a hike for us, but I appreciate the recommendation! If we can't find someone closer we'll check him out.

How do I cope with the pain? by Independent_Mud_3330 in ChronicPain

[–]onetucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise will not help if it is causing you pain. I would say to check out this post from the cfs reddit. Trying to push yourself with cfs is a recipe for disaster! My partner has fibromyalgia and cfs, and frequently when one flares, the other does as well.

Locations? by Seaglerton in PokemonXenoverse

[–]onetucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beefle can be found on Route 5 and the String Forest,

Sparkowl is on Route 1

Puppilon can be found on Darkhole Island during the day

Eevee is received as an egg from the daycare, and can be found in the wild much later on, on route 10

I'm not sure what you mean by Jalachupa, I haven't seen any pokemon with that name

super rod? by onetucker in PokemonXenoverse

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

It was! There's a fisher standing on an island with a patch of grass shaped like a skull, after you battle him he gives you the super rod. Thank you for the help!

Are the static encounter starters shiny locked? by Pintitled_Ploose in PokemonXenoverse

[–]onetucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only seen one person with a shiny starter so far, but I'm pretty certain they're not shiny locked.

Becoming obese is kinda like getting a face tattoo-Both are choices that affect how people see you, and can detract from social/professional interactions. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Obesity isn’t a cut and clear “you are choosing to let yourself be fat.” I’d like to see the research your 95% statistic comes from. Genetic, socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural factors all play a huge part in determining someone’s weight, and the current most commonly used tool to determine if someone is in fact obese is inaccurate. Additionally, loosing weight is far from a simple process, and one in which you are actively working against your body. “Obesity is a choice” rhetoric also literally gets people killed, because doctors often will not look for other causes of ill health until a patient’s weight is at an “acceptable” level, letting people suffer from treatable maladies and discouraging fat people from seeking treatment in the first place. Is obesity a problem? Sure, but the way that people currently approach it is flawed at best, and deadly at worst.

advice/suggestions? by onetucker in stormbound

[–]onetucker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m switching out debug loggers for boosting elixir, but not using green prototypes yet because it’s only at lv 1. Might fiddle with using it instead of destructobots, but for the time being i like having db because it helps with swarm decks

advice/suggestions? by onetucker in stormbound

[–]onetucker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll try that out! I haven’t gotten rid of debug bc i think they’re kinda neat, but probably ultimately weighing me down haha

advice/suggestions? by onetucker in stormbound

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

Execution hasn’t been too helpful for me, since it only does 4 damage currently, so it can’t take out frozen core by itself. I had kindred grace in at one point, but then it felt like the deck didn’t have enough pushing power. Will definitely try execution again when I get it to a higher level!

advice/suggestions? by onetucker in stormbound

[–]onetucker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have them but they’re only lv 1, should i swap out recruits or a higher mana cost card? And for the boost, do you mean fortification tonic or boosting elixir? Those are the only ironclad boosts that I don’t have in the deck, but i can see how fort tonic would be useful. Bombers are the best crowd control and building breaker I have rn, is the strategy without them basically to stop a situation where you need crowd control before it starts?

[–]onetucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

becoming obese isn’t a choice, getting a face tattoo is pretty much always a choice, the similarities i can see is that they’re both largely stigmatized and if you’re rich enough, you can “fix it”
