I hope you don't. And I'm sorry.

I lost my best friend in February. It fucking sucks.

He was a big partier. Once he hit his late 30s he ballooned to probably over 300. He took a nap one day and had a heart attack in his little attic room of his friend's house, where he had lived for 10 years. Our big friend group from back in the day is wondering who will go next.

Important Breakup Advice:

Make a list of everything you hated about being with them, focus on the bad feelings their behavior gave you.

When you get sad about not being with them refer to the list. It works surprisingly well.

Talk to a therapist. Not just you, everyone.

We all have trauma, talking about it can help you come to peace with it. Then it won't be this cringe thing (or whatever negative emotion it invokes) in your thought pattern.

Once I coded a module to completion with no errors. I still wake up with night terrors that I missed something.

:(, this is one of the ones I was writing a huge description on... I'll just post my research here.

Ophelia

Ophelia is a character in Hamlet.

Long story short, she goes crazy after discovering Hamlet, her betrothed (who is acting crazy to see what his enemies will do), killed her father (by accident, thinking he was someone else - but she doesn't know that). Then, she's walking around a forest in shock, unable to comprehend the horrible events, singing these songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcmN1zBSf4c. A few scenes later Gertrude said she drowned, and they're not sure if it was a suicide or accidental.

In the painting she is laying down in the water, either still singing or recently dead (depending on your interpretation).

Pre-Raphaelites

This is another work of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - a group of British painters that rejected the at-the-time notion to follow Raphael's prolific output. They thought it was formulaic and made for dull paintings. They were basically the emo kids of the mid-1800s art world. They thought only the most dramatic subjects should be painted, and detail should be given to stuff like the background - Raphael largely ignored anything but the main subjects of the painting.

In this painting you can see a lot of time was spent on the trees and flowers surrounding her.

Compare that with Raphael's most famous work:

There's a background and some foreground, but it's in service of the main characters -who are the only elements with bright colors. Ophelia seems to be inseparable from the other elements in the painting, and the flowers around her are brightly colored.

The Pre-Raphaelites were also a precursor to the Impressionists, who would pop on the scene 20 years later in France.

The plants, most of which have symbolic significance, were depicted with painstaking botanical detail. The roses near Ophelia's cheek and dress, and the field rose on the bank, may allude to her brother Laertes calling her 'rose of May'. The willow, nettle and daisy are associated with forsaken love, pain, and innocence. Pansies refer to love in vain. Violets, which Ophelia wears in a chain around her neck, stand for faithfulness, chastity or death of the young, any of which meanings could apply here. The poppy signifies death. Forget-me-nots float in the water. [2]

Siddal

Elizabeth Siddal posed for hours in a tub while Millais painted. She stayed, motionless despite the oil lamps keeping the water warm burning out, and she nearly died from the resulting illness (that's the story, but she also seemed like a sickly person that may have had tuberculosis). Siddal was a model for many of the Brotherhood, and eventually married one. She later died from overdosing pain meds before it was cool (although it may have been a suicide).

Here's a more extreme version of a Pre-Raphaelite background I was talking about earlier:

See how the main characters are the center of the painting's attention, but almost no one else is paying attention to them. There seems to be something going on stage right. Note: it also has Siddal as a model.

Wow, what a beautiful painting. Thanks for posting this. I went to her site and I think she is now my favorite contemporary artist.

There are many interpretations of this work, and unfortunately the author was alive long enough to write much about it and react to some of those interpretations.

It is my personal opinion that an artist is not a critic, and should not try to be, they should sit back and not try to explain their work. Because their words have a huge impact on how people enjoy it. And usually only hurts people's enjoyment and interpretation.

Therefore, I will not write any of what he has said about it, but I will say it is available if you want to ignore the joy of building your own interpretation. I will say it is simply a beautiful painting, painted with hints of impressionism, expressionism, even possibly cubism. This work is way ahead of its time, and was considered by some at the time to be the most beautiful American painting ever.

The Rue Montorgueil, like its twin painting The Rue Saint-Denis (Rouen, musée des Beaux-arts), is often thought to depict a 14 July celebration. In fact it was painted on 30 June 1878 for a festival declared that year by the government celebrating "peace and work". This was one of the events organised for the third Universal Exhibition in Paris a few weeks after it opened, and intended to be a symbol of France’s recovery after the defeat of 1870. As well as demonstrating nationalist enthusiasm, the celebrations of 30 June 1878 were also an opportunity to strengthen the position of the Republican regime, still fragile only a few months after the major confrontations of 1876-1877 between its supporters and the conservatives. It was only two years later, in 1880, that 14 July was designated the French National Day.

This painting proposes a distanced vision of an urban landscape by a painter who did not mix with the crowd, but observed it from a window. The three colours vibrating in Monet's painting are those of modern France. The impressionist technique, with its multitude of small strokes of colour, suggests the animation of the crowd and the wavering of flags. This allowed the American historian Philip Nord to write that it perfectly fits the "republican moment" marking the emergence of a democratic society and its roots in contemporary France. With this painting, Monet revealed a hidden aspect of modernity, while simultaneously achieving the work of a "reporter".

Leech, an Irish painter, went to France to study French art. While he was there he contracted Typhus - a bacterial infection that can cause fever and delirium. He was nursed back to health at a hospital staffed by nuns in Brittany, and it inspired him for this painting.

Nuns in a walled convent wearing wedding gowns, as was custom of the time when they took their final vows on the day they became full nuns. The vibrant atmosphere of the pure nuns surrounded by nature alive with surprising hints of color in each paint stroke.

The strokes rarely overlap, meaning he planned it very carefully.

I'd watch that. But there should be a really good musical number called "Everything is rape without consent" or something... It probably wouldn't be appropriate for the target audience, but yes I agree with the point you're making: Snow White & Cinderella are way fucked.

I was watching a "free" movie on Tubi the other day, when a commercial came on and blasted my eardrums. It really took me back.

For it was my late childhood and early adolescence that our family finally achieved cable television. If you fell asleep with the TV on, god help you when it woke you up at 2 AM with a commercial louder than an atomic blast playing Enya and Enigma in Pure Moods.

Glory to Cable Networks and bless the FCC for the awakenings. For even though everyone hated the constant volume change, the FCC was powerless to stop it against the might of The Telecommunications act of 1994, which they themselves crafted with the wisdom of the telecom industry. Specifically these glorious sentences:

Title III: Regulatory Reform - Bars any State or local statute, regulation, or legal requirement from prohibiting the ability of any entity to provide interstate or intrastate telecommunications services.

and

Title VII: Media Diversity - Requires the FCC to complete a proceeding to: (1) modify or remove national and local ownership rules on radio and television broadcast stations to ensure that broadcasters are able to compete fairly with other media providers and that the public receives information from a diversity of media sources; (2) review a certain ownership restriction with respect to cable operators and report to the Congress on whether such restriction serves the public interest; and (3) consider the applicability of the FCC's rules regarding network non-duplication protection, syndicated exclusivity protection, and sports programming exclusivity to programmers whose programs are transmitted on common carrier video platforms.

Which, among other things, allowed monopolies in media including ClearChannel which quickly ruined radio for everyone. Bless us all.

How is Lemmy paying for the servers they need to serve content? I have no idea, but someone is footing the bill.

I decided to turn my Switch to Airplane mode to avoid any new updates for totk. My expectation was things would continue as normal and I could still use all the glitches from 1.1.2 when/if I decided to do that.

However, on the day of the release of 1.2, my camera started acting weird. I was in Gerudo for the first time, and the camera would drift in one direction until I paused the game, and this would happen at random times throughout my play time, which involved traveling to places I had already been.

Does this mean Nintendo added self-destruct instructions based on a timer or something? What the actual fuck?

Nintendo is really pissing me off with these horrible decisions they've made.

Has anyone else experienced this?

[-] erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yep. Once you get the hang of it, you will cringe to think of all the wasted effort that came before. But getting the hang of it takes dedication.

I feel like the American media is out of control and is no longer a tool of the people, but a fire hose of the wealthy, disseminating whatever will help them keep their power.

They have convinced the people that news makes you intelligent, when really the lack of new ideas and differing viewpoints creates a closed feedback loop so they just regurgitate whatever they hear with absolute confidence, but if you ask them a question it all falls apart.

Fox, CNN, New York Times, NPR, it's all owned or supported in such a way that they dare not bite the hand that feeds it.

So I, for one, am open to hearing what foreign countries have to say.

Nintendo released 1.2 and removed some dupe glitches they call "Improving the game experience."

How bout you improve the game experience by making it not such a grind to do every single thing?

I like instructions written out more than a video, so here is how to make the Hoverbike 2.0. Glory to master swaze.

Setup

a. Find a flat spot.

  • The depths have many flat spots
    • Yiga hideouts
    • Build caches
    • Forges
    • Boss pads

Disable Motion Controls

b. + Pause, R all the way, Options > Aim with motion controls Disabled

Learn how to do a backflip (you may want to practice a few times till you get the hang of it).

c. Hold down ZL (you can hold this for as long as you want) then when you're ready, Press X and Down on the Left Pad

d. Follow these instructions exactly. I will say when a measurement doesn't matter with "Sloppy"

From here on out you should not touch your left pad until the build is complete.

The Build

  1. Take out two fans and a steering stick from your Zonai Devices Tab.

  2. The 2 fans should be on top of each other and the steering stick off to the side

  3. Grab the fan on top

  4. Rotate it by holding R and pressing down twice - it should be flat with the small side facing up

  5. Move it back behind the bottom fan - The distance behind can be sloppy, but it needs to be in line (again, don't touch the Left stick and you will be fine)

  6. Grab the bottom fan, flip it just like the first one, and glue it to the top of the first one. They should be exactly on top of each other, but as long as you're close the game will snap it into place correctly.

  7. Grab the steering stick and glue it on top of the other two fans. Again, the snapping will help you.

  8. Walk up to the stack and jump

  9. You should now have the option to press A to Control it.

  10. Press A, and immediately press B. You should be standing on top of it, but not controlling it.

  11. Grab the top Fan and disconnect it

  12. Backflip. If you mess up, get off and Control it again and press B, you can repeat that until you get do the backflip right.

  13. Grab the stick, rotate it once backwards by pressing down

  14. Pull the stick towards you

  15. At some point the snapping will want to connect the front of the stick to the side of the fan closest to you. Go ahead and make that.

  16. Grab the steering stick And rotate once forward.

  17. Move the setup forward, behind the remaining fan

  18. Once you have some clearance, rotate it once backwards

  19. Pull it towards you until the game suggests gluing the back of the Steering Stick to the side of the fan farthest from you.

The End

Save it as a favorite, and enjoy the huge upgrade.

Update: this no longer works as of version 1.2.0, only 1.1.2.

I've watched so many videos about dupe glitches and patch hacks and they all seem so confusing, but I was able to do this one very easily.

And it's so much easier than grinding in the tundra for hours on end.

And it works in 1.1.2

Setup:

  1. Make sure you have the Mount Lanayru tower unlocked
  2. Get 2 unfused weapons
  3. Get 2 Gourmet Meats
  • if you don't have any, the area around the tundra stable is good, focus on white foxes and wolves, although you can one-shot all animals in the head easily in this region by jumping off a horse and going into arrow-time

Create the meat-weapon cube:

  1. Take out a gourmet meat, drop it and fuse it a weapon
  2. Repeat for the 2nd weapon
  3. Fuse the two meat-weapons together
  4. Autobuild another pair
  5. Fuse the green ones to the not-green ones, you should now have a row of 4 gourmet meat weapons fused together.
  6. Autobuild and fuse another row of 4, making 8
  7. Autobuild and fuse another set of 8, making 16
  8. Autobuild and fuse a set of 4 meat-weapons, making 20.
  9. You should now have something resembling a cube of gourmet meat weapons in your autobuild history. Save this as a favorite.

Get to a consistent fire in a very cold place

  1. Fast travel to the mt lanayru SkyView tower.
  2. Glide to the southeast and go to the spring of wisdom.
  3. Find the treasure hunter nearby with a fire.
  4. Sit by the fire till night (you may have to light the pile of wood to do this)
  5. Continue to sit by he fire till night until you see fog. This means it's cold enough to freeze the gourmet meat.

Glitch 999 Frozen Gourmet Meats

  1. Open the auto build menu and select the meat-weapon cube, but DO NOT BUILD IT
  2. Just hold the purple formation in the air for about 4-5 seconds.

if you're using zonaite to build the formation you're doing it wrong!

  1. 20 frozen gourmet meats will materialize.
  2. Press B to close the purple auto-build meat formation and pick up all the meat.
  3. You can do this until it stops being cold enough or you reach 999 frozen gourmet meats
  4. If it stops being cold enough, sit by the fire till night until you see fog again.

Sell the Frozen Gourmet Meats

  1. Go sell the 999 frozen meats for about $39k (it's in the cooked food section, not items like raw gourmet meat)
  2. You can repeat this as many times as you want. I'm not sure if there is a limit to how much money you can have, but I'm pretty sure 39k is enough to buy everything for sale in the game at least once. And 100k is probably more than you'll ever need.

In the depths at 1574, -3117, -0646,

I haven't found the closest Lightroot yet, but I'll update this when I do.

It's guarded by 5 yellow and 2 blue Cave Trolls that are on the roof of what looks like a skeleton. If you're coming from the west it may be hard to see.

There's also a few more huge zonaite and non-zonaite sites at 1292, -2922, -0601. I'm guessing there's a bunch all around the Spirit Temple, which is below the Bronas Forest.
