Not really much to go off of here. I feel like I recall some kind of upper class manor/hotel/castle at the start of the movie and some kind of change occurring. Maybe some kind of social revolution or people mutating. I recall an airship with some kind of scientists on board. I think the protagonist was a woman possibly looking for her son.

I say it's like Fantastic Planet but it might not be fully animated. It could be something a long the lines of human actors with heavy amounts of CG or just very out there sets.

I am struggling a bit to word the question so I'll explain my thought process a bit.

I was thinking about Back to the Future style time travel where someone goes back in time, makes alterations to the past, and returns to a different life around the time they left but without actually acquiring the memories of their new life. Most of the time this happens at the end of the movie or series and they're depicted only slightly confused but the viewer is given the impression they'll integrate just fine. I'm wondering what's out there for media where the conclusion of the protagonist's adventures with time travel is just the beginning and the protagonist now has to struggle to make sense of everything.

Even with the short time loop/do-over premise that's in movies like Palm Springs, Groundhog Day, and Omni Loop I feel like it could be difficult to interact with people afterwards. I imagine knowing everything about someone and having them regard you as a stranger would be frustrating and overwhelming.

From what I've seen the premise seems a bit under explored.

I finally got a decent list of mods working on my PC but I don't know if I should hold off updating my game.

I only recently started playing and but it seems like the 1.6 update previously broke a lot of mods (for example under the posts tab for Custom NPC - Riley you can see a lot of people asking for a 1.6 compatibility update). I am not sure if this update will be more or less a repeat of that.

I wanted to gauge the level of interest before I pull the trigger and create a community around video game modding. It's something I could easily post consistently about but ideally I'd like others to engage with it as well so it doesn't feel like I'm posting into the void.

A few communities already exist that are somewhat similar to this like !skyrimmods@lemmy.world, !totkmods@lemmy.world, !themoddingofisaac@sh.itjust.works, and !360hacks@lemmy.ml. I don't know if people would prefer to use game and platform specific communities to talk about modding when they can.

I'd like to keep things platform agnostic because things can get muddy quickly with things like source ports and emulation.

From what I can see in RA forum posts people have brought it up on numerous occasions but it gets shot down as being a way people could cheat and RA being designed with online play in mind.

Have any efforts actually been made to enable offline achievements? It would be nice to have for handheld emulators that do not have built in WiFi. Even if it was something that was synced locally and you couldn't upload it to RA's website I'd be interested.

Hell I'd even be curious to try out a self hosted solutuon.

Is it because the glow would fade after a year or two? Even if it's not cost effective compared to adding to LEDs I thought it would be a novelty thing.

I did a quick search online and it doesn't seem very common. Mostly keyboard covers.

I have spent a decent amount of time doing an unmodded playthrough of Stardew Valley and wanted to switch things up a bit by adding a bunch of mods. I went through the Nexus and installed a lot of the top downloaded ones and everything worked great in terms of stability but I am wondering if I will run into issues down the line having Stardew Valley Expanded, East Scrap, Ridgeside Village, Downtown Zuzu, Integrated Minecarts, and over 30 others.

A lot of mods list their compatibility with each other which is great but I could see issues coming up with having multiple smaller mods or ones that haven't been updated in a while. For example a new character clipping through an object added by an expansion or an event that now feels out of place because of a dialogue expansion mod.

I'll probably just have to keep playing to find out a lot of this but (TL:DR) I'm curious if anyone can think of times where they've had to go through and delete a specific mod because it clashed with another mod.

Would removing a mod mid-game cause a lot of problems?

I'm mostly talking about Micro USB cables; they were pretty notorious for gradually becoming loose.

They definitely wouldn't be a great fix and could potentially make things worse but for electronics you don't plan on unplugging again or mind dying shortly after I could see them coming in handy if you don't want to solder on a new connector or rely on strategically placing a device where the cable makes proper contact. I could see them being a weird item you stumble across on Ali Express.

Mine are Half Life and Morrowind.

I feel like back when I didn't have a massive game library I would have spent so much time replaying Half Life and exploring every inch of the maps and trying to find exploits to break the game. The massive modding community likely would have kept me playing for years.

Morrowind probably would have gotten me a lot more into RPGs and fantasy games. I do love RPGs but still struggle to immerse myself in fantasy settings. I assume this is because I mostly played SciFi games growing up.

What about you? Is there an MMO or something you maybe tried and gave up on to soon?

I feel like you don't see a lot of vertical setups here so I wanted to share what I've done so far. I found having everything at the top was way too dense so I moved it to the side but added a second panel at the top in a different color (to go with the wallpaper) for the window buttons.

I have been diagnosed with depression and ADD. I feel like a lot of their symptoms partially bleed over into autism. I am also incredibly anxious when it comes to social interactions.

I feel like I have a decent amount of behavioural symptoms like getting upset when plans change, not liking when things are moved from where I put them, some sensory things (ex. the sound of velcro tearing, gloves rubbing against the skin at the base of my fingers, I hate making sound when I walk in public, and so on), self-stimming, getting really invested in certain niche topics, and avoiding eye contact.

There are some parts where I don't feel like I match at all. I would say I'm better than most people at reading people's emotions. I am good with social cues and nonverbal communication. I just over think everything afterwards.

Getting help for my depression and ADD was a lot of work and I felt like I essentially had to coach them into giving it to me so I'm just not sure if it would be worth the effort. The only benefit I could see is a better sense of self-identity but I already have a major case of imposter syndrome when it comes to what I've been diagnosed with and I feel like that would be even worse with autism due to the stigma that surrounds it. People saying "You don't have autism because we chitchat all the time at work" would feel like a real kick in the nuts. I have been able to force myself to mask or get over some of the issues I've mentioned above so far.

Sorry if any of this seems improper. I really don't want to sound like someone who took a "What mental illness are you?" Buzzfeed-style quiz as a medical diagnosis or someone making unfair stereotypes.

I miss a lot of the smaller dedicated communities. There were a lot there were essentially mirrored from Reddit but a lot of the userbase disappeared. They are widely federated and posts get votes and comments but there's not a lot of people putting out content.

What I don't miss is the power mods and all the auto mods. They just get tiring.

I am curious how this is going to effect the number of active players. I know a lot of people who were trying to get me to play this saying it was here to stay and not a trend like a Lethal Company but I feel like this hurdle might be enough to get them to give up.

I definitely have a low level of tolerance for Russian nesting dolls of accounts and launchers.

Sorry OP it was too tempting

I'm honestly surprised they're still updating Java edition

This and that article about the 16 year old that got arrested for cutting down a historic tree makes me wonder if there's a way to uncut down a tree. Like using grafting and some kind of tree steroid

That's nice of them to walk it back. Definitely not something you'd see Reddit do

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 102 points 1 year ago

I've got a stockpile of them

How taxes are dealt with in North America. Just send me how much I owe. Don't have me go through a service to figure it out

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 218 points 1 year ago

It comes down to price. You can buy used ThinkPads and replacement parts for them quite cheap a lot of the time.

It's been a while since I've looked at devices from places like System 76 but if I recall correctly they are still over a thousand dollars when a used ThinkPad T440P for example can be found for around two hundred dollars.

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 114 points 1 year ago

Dollar stores. A lot of the time they are profiting by selling you a smaller quantity at a slightly lower price. They target low income communities.

There's a sign that says you aren't allowed on top of the bus terminal because of me.

There was grass on the roof and I was curious how they got a lawnmower up there.

"Damn girl you shit with that ass?"

Has to be up there
