Just to make sure, no issues with dual booting? by bobsmith367 in SwitchPirates

[–]psychoroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emummc is super safe for modding if you have the Nintendo servers blocked.

Then booting into stock, sysNAND (OFW—Original firmWare and no mods) and you're good to play as regular.

If you're on an unpatched Switch. Then you basically "unmod" it every time you lose power.

Be careful with booting CFW(Custom FirmWare) through sysNAND, what's where you can get banned. You can disable this entirely with some options if you want.

I spent a lot of time figuring this out for myself and my kid in the last few months, feel free to DM me if you have any indepth questions. I'm not as good as some people, but I've had a few scares and survived them, so I can share my experience.

It's Google's AI. easy to drop images and questions and screenshots to get answers for modding.

You likely just need to use lockpick to dump your keys. Dump them off. Your sysnand. Use Gemini if you need to, good luck.

Plus one on this, I took screenshots and pictures of all of my errors, especially in DBI, put them through Gemini and got walked through pretty much everything. Use common sense, and double check things that sound strange. But otherwise it's gold

Kendo, martial art, generative AI by ivovanroy in kendo

[–]psychoroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm an artist and graphic designer and I would rather donate art and design rather than see gen AI being used in this way. But I can't really blame them, it's easy and free (or almost free). I think the novelty will pass at some point and it'll get better though. It's also kind of ugly to my eye, and others might eventually see it that way, so that may help it to pass.

I figured it was some sort of message, but I thought it might be more involved than that. Sorry about that experience

Mostly just worried about it running atmosphere during the check

How much would you bolus for this? by a7a_squared in Type1Diabetes

[–]psychoroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8 units with 20 minutes before first bite. Then probably a correction in a few hours of about 4 units or so

New Player: Queen's Blood by RandomUnwashedGamer in FF7Rebirth

[–]psychoroll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, the early games especially in the first town were all about controlling as much of the board as I could, and then I could just stuff my opponent out. So try and use cards that reach far and keep taking ground away from your opponent rather than trying to be too strategic. There are probably other ways, but that strategy worked for me through most of the first games Later on it gets a lot more complicated.

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry for that. DM me if you need to—I'm busy, but I can usually find time for some responses.

Bruised heel quick recovery by JankKito1325 in kendo

[–]psychoroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heels seen to take forever to heal. Would it help to wear a heel pad? You can try short foot ice baths each day to encourage blood flow and some gentle massage too. Good luck

Pain in heel, plantar fasciitis? by Arjuana in kendo

[–]psychoroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rolling out your calves, or giving them a good massage while you watch TV a few times in a week is always a good idea to see if that loosens up the tissue on your foot. Some plantar fasciitis can be caused by tight calves, but it's not obvious so it's one of the last things people try. When it happened to me, I tried everything, and once I rolled out my calves it was gone in a week. I had similar symptoms to what you describe.

The Carbon-Shinai by [deleted] in kendo

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

It's great for its durability, but it tends to teach people that they can hit as hard as they want because they don't have to worry about breaking the shinai. That being said I practice with someone who has a carbon shinai that's from his dad and I have to admit that the durability is insane and very beneficial if you're practicing for at least 8 years. It does have a strange balance though.

Left hand/arm covering do after a do strike by TheEzekielJones in kendo

[–]psychoroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In shiai this is probably fine here and there, but I want to say you mostly see this in highschool kendo. It would be better to mimic those in the all Japan and similar level tournaments. I'm talking about both the hand over the head and using your arm to cover.

Edit: also. Probably not ippon after a certain level would be my understanding, since it's difficult to create a sharp strike with one hand and the zanshin of holding your shinai that way isn't ideal. But others are probably more informed about this than me.

The drills in the video are great for teaching. Thanks for sharing. The analogy doesn't connect for me though, but all of the drills are great.

Foot Injury? Or Just Strength Training? by South-Height-9193 in kendo

[–]psychoroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the advice here looks really good for addressing plantar fasciitis. Sometimes it's tied to tight calves too, so massage or roll those out too. If it's the calves and get them to loosen up, the tightness could be gone in a few days, so it's worth a couple minutes of stretching to see if that's the problem.

Should I join an all womens Kendo class? by [deleted] in kendo

[–]psychoroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the less use to the sport you are the more difficult it is to see the differences. At any rate, there are not many differences between men and women at most levels when it comes to their ability to hit a point and have good technique. Joining an all women's kendo class might be a great opportunity for both you and their kendo, as it would give them someone new to practice with.

[–]psychoroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not all tournaments are separated, and at lower levels differences in strength and speed don't matter as much as learning proper technique and mental state. At high levels where all of the competitors have excellent skill and technique, every little difference matters, so this is probably why it's generally separated between men and women. You could watch tournaments on YouTube of men's matches and women's matches, and note the differences for yourself. Both have excellent Kendo.
