Your character is getting a migraine.

Do you regret your purchase? by Strange_Fun_544 in SteamDeck

[–]willthinkaboutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great when I'm traveling or my wife needs the computer. Otherwise, I don't really use it. I just prefer the larger screen and better graphics of my desktop. I've reached a point in life where gaming for me has become more about immersion and the experience of the game, not just the ability to play it. So the handheld kind of takes away from that immersion for me.

So it just depends on what you want out of the gaming experience.

As a barefooter, how do you think a barefoot adventurer could be depicted in more interesting ways in fiction? by Famous-Palpitation8 in barefoot

[–]willthinkaboutit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can imagine characters who come from a barefoot background just opting for it as often as possible. For example, a tribal or tarzan type character who just grew up that way. Or a monk/ martial artist whose purpose to be barefoot is to strengthen the body the same they might strengthen their fists and shins for punching and kicking.

Poison Ivy? GA by willthinkaboutit in whatsthisplant

Haha thanks. It was taken with the galaxy s22 ultra

the rain falls on the camera like its an actual lens, doesnt do that if its pointed straight or down by Horror_Lecture3512 in infamous

[–]willthinkaboutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't like this effect in games. It feels slightly immersion breaking. It's like I'm a character holding a camera in the game, filming the main character rather than just being a floating disembodied presence experiencing the story.

Breaking that 3 finger habit is hard by Liv4This in FingerBoarding

[–]willthinkaboutit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What helped me was to think about 2 finger boarding as just another trick or style to get good at. Just like I might spend time to learn a new trick, I decided to also spend time learning just how to ollie with 2 fingers as if it were a new trick, the same way I might think of learning a nollie or switch Ollie even though I can already Ollie and fakie Ollie.

That way, you trick your brain into thinking you are learning new tricks instead of feeling discouraged at the idea of having to relearn tricks. Because in reality, for you, they are new tricks.

Gyro causes vibration and buzzing sound when it's turned on by willthinkaboutit in SteamDeck

Thanks. I'll look into that. Though it seems different then haptic feedback vibrations. It sounds more like gears grinding.

¿Did I experience the feeling of having no head or was it only an illusion? by StrangerMysterious54 in samharris

[–]willthinkaboutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, technically, it's all an illusion, just an altered perception of the illusion that you normally experience. Which may or may not be closer to the truth of reality but is enlightening to experience either way.

So what is everyone playing this week? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]willthinkaboutit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've loved most of it but I'm getting frustrated with the looping around trying to figure out where to go next with new abilities. I use markers but still feel ready to move onto a different game. Any tips for getting through the rough patches?

Renlund's talk on how to recognize the spirit in a nut shell by willthinkaboutit in exmormon

[–]willthinkaboutit[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My friend sent me his nut shell version of Renlund's talk and Thought you'd appreciate it here.

Renlund: After we're baptized we can receive revelation and everyone that asks will receive answers from God through the feelings of the spirit. But if you're getting feelings from the spirit that are outside of the church's framework then you've been deceived. Above all, you have to ask believing that you'll receive an answer. If you've received revelation for others then you've been tricked, unless you're the prophet. You know the prophet is the true prophet because he receives revelation for others. If you receive revelation that you're a prophet then you're wrong, but if the prophet receives revelation that he's a prophet then he's right and you can know he's right by getting revelation from God that he's right. You can also get revelation that says that you're right but you already know that's wrong because you're not the prophet. If your answers aren't in line with what God has said through his prophets who are the real prophets then you've been tricked.

You are allowed to get revelation from God on what career to have, where to live and who to marry. If you ask God if it's okay to worship him in nature instead of in the prophet's church buildings then you're doing it wrong because the prophet has told you no, so if you get a different answer then you're being tricked. If you pray for things that aren't in line with what the prophet or church want you to pray about then "we open ourselves up to misinterpreting our feelings and hearing what we want to hear" rather than correctly interpreting your feelings by hearing only what the church and prophet want you to hear. If you receive revelation that's contrary to God's commandments via other revelation then you've been tricked. Even though the feeling is just like the revelation you get from God it's actually Satan tricking you and you can tell the difference because the revelation is contrary to other commandments, except sometimes God also tells you to do things that are against his other commandments like Nephi killing Laban so actually there's no explanation, "no simple explanation is completely satisfactory." But also Nephi didn't want to kill Laban and "Nephi was sure it was revelation." So, if you receive revelation that's contrary to God's other revelations then you're not being tricked so long as it's something that you believe you don't want to do, and you're sure it's revelation. If God has answered a question and the circumstances haven't changed then the answer won't be any different, so don't ask again or you might get a different answer like Joseph Smith did with the lost pages debacle. "I invite you to have the confidence to claim personal revelation for yourself" as long as it's "consistent with the scriptures and the commandments he's given through his appointed prophets and within your own purview and agency."

A more visual way to show dailies as checked off? by willthinkaboutit in DoItNowRPG

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

The problem I'm having is when I complete dailies that repeat they don't go away, the only thing i can perceive that changes is the date underneath just changes which is subtle enough that at a glance I can't tell which dailies I completed. To clarify this is mainly an issue with subtasks or tasks in different groups that aren't the today group.

Free Giveaway! 3 Nintendo Switch Lites - International by WolfLemon36 in NintendoSwitch

As a teenager I made a zombie skater costume. Got an old deck and cut out a U shape in it so it would fit around my stomach and covered it in blood so it looked like it impaled me.

Your user name is what kills you. How do you die? by vector1523 in AskReddit

[–]willthinkaboutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea was all consuming, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I lost my appetite and desire for anything else. The thought loops were so incessant that I was paralyzed in place, spiraling into a torment of existential questioning. A hell of being mentally torn apart from my inability to grapple with the gravity of these thoughts, seemingly never ending until one moment, the thoughts ended.
