I haven’t been watching Second Wind since all the drama that Frost unearthed when he left, so I don’t know if this is a trend with Yahtzee lately, but did this seem incredibly short to anyone else?

I could have sworn that he usually went into more detail in these year end best/worst/blandest videos. This one barely had a single throwaway joke for each entry.

I’m going to add some additional advice as far as the “incel mindset”: Get off tinder.

Tinder isn’t meant for making lasting relationships, no matter what the marketing team claims. From it’s inception it has been used almost exclusively for people to hook up. Casual sex. There are couples that got started through Tinder, but those are rarer.

Sites and services like Tinder turn dating into a “meat market”. Really sit and think for a moment about just how little you learn of a person from their Tinder profile. It’s almost all superficial and appearance based.

Why would someone spend even a few seconds on “Average McBigNose” when they can swipe a few times and be looking at “Chad McThunderCock”, spending time on “Julia BigForehead” when they’re potentially moments away from “Anorexia FCups”. It boils down aspects of everyone involved to an almost entirely appearance based first impression. That’s not fair or healthy for self esteem.

If you feel you need to use dating sites, try using some that have more fuller profiles, big long personality quizes, and that don’t have an entire design philosophy and UI built around knee-jerk reactions of yes or no.

Additionally, a lot of things depend on how you portray or frame it. Try to give as much as possible a positive spin, even internally. Fake it if you need to.

You don’t just travel cheaply.

You enjoy travelling, but you try to do it frugally (frugal is effectively the socially acceptable version of cheap) so you can save money for other things. Avoiding expensive travel arrangements keeps you closer to the ground and allows you to more naturally and honestly experience the places you go, really immerse yourself in the places.

Traveling by bus takes longer, but it gives you more time to think deeply about the people and places around you, time to read, time to recharge. When you get to your destination your mind is clear and ready to focus on the experience without much mental baggage from work or home.

In the ADHD community, a lot of sound advice for building good habits and coping mechanisms overlaps a lot with “just don’t have ADHD” advice because the advice still works, even if it’s significantly harder to pull off with ADHD.

There’s less overlap for depression, but there still is some between sound advice and “just don’t be sad lol”.

I’m sure there’s some overlap in this case for lonliness.

One of the tough things about this stuff is that it is very easy to convince yourself that nobody understands what you’re going through, so when you don’t see immediate results from advice that means they’re just wrong and there’s nothing you can do. The most important piece of advice is to never give up.

All that said, if everyone in this thread is giving bad advice that shows they don’t understand, you’re implying that you do understand. So where’s your advice?

Or did you just comment to discourage people from trying to help and leave OP to suffer?

Bleachbit is the open source, non trash “replacement” for CCleaner

Musicbee is a pretty good Foobar alternative.

They basically did similar stuff with some of the stuff in the sm3d collection thingy.

They did not.

For Super Mario 64, they emulated it. They increased the resolution the game renders at (trivial with emulation of 3D systems) and they used basic LUA patches in the emulator to override HUD textures with higher resolution ones adjusted for the Switch controller.

They did not add any further enhancements in any way. Compared to even 64 DS, it was extremely sophomoric. Compared to the Super Mario 64 decomp project, and what its native switch port is capable of (more on that later), it’s an incredibly lazy port. They didn’t even fix the slowdown with Bowser’s Sub that is as simple as adjusting a single compiler flag when you build the ROM from the N64 game source code.

For Sunshine, it’s an admittedly impressive solution of mostly emulation with some sections of the game engine ported (I think it’s the audio processing?). Once again, the game is rendered at a higher resolution, but they did not redo ot improve further any textures (besides some of the HUD again), graphical effects, or game content. Wind Waker HD this ain’t.

For Galaxy they cannibalized the existing port of it to Android on the NVidia Shield. The Switch shares most of the important internals with it (CPU, GPU). It’s a combo of emulation with certain key code ported, like Sunshine. Again, besides resolution and HUD, no improvements.

Beyond that, Nintendo has been content to sell straight up emulation through the Virtual Console service since the Wii. They’ve had multiple instances of straight ports over the years, and some of the most popular Switch games are straight ports with DLC bundled in.

There are numerous impressive remakes they have done over the years, but that is absolutely not the norm.

The Super Mario 64 decomp on the Switch supports (not available in Nintendo’s official port in 3D All Stars):

• Effectively infinite render distance for objects (coins, enemies, stars, etc)
• 60 fps (compared to the original/all stars 30fps at best)
• True analog camera control using the right stick (All Stars is just the original’s clunky button based control mapped to the stick)
• All sorts of QoL options like collecting stars not kicking you out of a level, options for streamlined/faster message boxes
• Optional bugfixes
• Optional cheats
• Variety of HD texture packs to choose from
• Variety of higher quality 3D model packs to choose from
• Support for an astounding variety of mods. Levels, entire new games, new characters, new movement and control options (Odyssey Mario in 64 with full cappy and enemy capture mechanics anyone?)
• Support for many more languages
• Nearly all of the above is toggleable mid-game from the pause menu.

I don’t think anyone was expecting something amazing out of 3D All Stars, but they absolutely fucking phoned it in.

PowerShell Microsoft Graph Module. Most of the official doc pages have at least one section of “TODO” in them.

After they officially deprecated the previous modules with similar functionality.

When I do find relevant answers, lately they’re all so old that they no longer work, or rely on now deprecated functionality of a library or system.

Finding code snippets for interfacing with Azure through PowerShell is a crapshoot because Microsoft keeps deprecating different PowerShell modules for it.

But those options were available to him without a risky brain implant. There’s a large amount of alternative interface methods and tools available for these purposes, they just don’t have Musk’s marketing budget and they aren’t run by someone that owns a newspaper, so they’re not well known outside the disabled community.

We’ve had wearable (and thus removable and non invasive) neural interfaces for years now that have been able to do mouse control.

We’ve had robust eye tracker control since Steven fucking Hawking.

This is being framed as though this was the only way for this person to have these abilities and options available, and that is patently false.

They don’t need to reinstall the OS to resolve this issue though, unless they absolutely fucked their paritions.

Which is why Microsoft couldn’t automate a fix. It’s incredibly easy to fuck your partitions to hell and back, especially through Windows. Too many conditions to check for and try to handle automatically.
