The Bridge

@cazc_941 sorry, I'm out of the loop, what's going on with your relationship?

Stuff. A lot

We are 'taking a break' supposedly but also my brain just is crazy

I don't even think she's attracted to me any more and that's what I'm worried about today apparently

hug

relationships are weird

All summer she kept saying how she thought once I figured who I was I was gonna be the one moving on to someone better and now I feel the opposite

I should have broken up with her a while ago probably but I can't give up on it...

Fuck I've been so unhappy for months though

@cazc_941 if the two of you want to be in a relationship, keep at it

@cazc_941 Intrusive thoughts like this when you can't even talk to your partner is so hard :(

also relationships are never going to stay exactly the same, they are going to evolve all the time

the thing is that it's up to you and the other person in the relationship to guide that evolution

(figuring out specifically why you are unhappy can be super difficult though, but sometimes just going "hey X i'm unhappy right now but i can't figure out why" is a good start)

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I second this. It doesn't sound like a good place to start, but going "I am unhappy and I can't shake it" is a good start because then at least you both know that's there.

@Fluttershy huh, i thought it was you who saw episode 1 and was not expecting some scene in it

apologies none the less

@Ash and sometimes talking it through with the other person helps you clarify your own feelings

@DanmakuGrazer we discussed this in TIF, i liked this response

in This Is Fine, 8 hours ago, by MBraedley

A more structured list divided by topics with redundancy of words like ALERT and TEST can help. Also emojis can help differentiate topics without deep reading

@GodEmperorDune Yeah it's a terrible UI

10:18 PM

grouping related things, then removing redundant words and putting them into headings/subheadings is a fantastic thing that improves UI so much

i would even call it a UI lifehack

Also good fonts and colors

@Ash I have done any work in like an hour since everyone else left

@Ave comic sans fam

@GodEmperorDune actually comic sans isn't a terrible font for this

it's good for dyslexic people and such

(though opendyslexia is free and is supposedly better)

i mean all UI is subjective to a certain extent, but fonts are easier to mess up imo

10:24 PM

true

and getting web stuff to be ARIA is a lot when you've never done it before

but grouping stuff properly and removing the redundant info is a quick thing that provides a very big UI boost

ARIA?

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Yep, sometimes just getting someone to rubber duck your emotions super helps.

(I assume A is accessible)

@Ave developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA

10:25 PM

ahh

its all the assistive technology stuff in html, basically

making things work with screenreaders and keyboard shortcuts

i think there is also some colorblindness stuff there too

user15026

@cazc_941 offers hugs Yeah, it's tricky. Unfortunately all my advice is directly tied to the specifics of my brain monsters so I don't think it will help :(

contrast is really important too tbh

@cazc_941 if it makes you feel any better, i've gone through weeks of nonproductivity because of relationship stuff

user15026

A11y in tech is SO HARD because there are so many things and accounting for all the things is just augh

10:27 PM

@Ave for sure

@Ash oh wow this is a good site

a11yproject.com

Put Spy target behind three unopenable doors.

Thanks, game.

And surround it with three sensor probes.

@Yuuki ugh i hate that

Which vault are you doing?

but you've hacked all consoles nearby?

user15026

@GodEmperorDune yes it is :) Also apologies for the shortform for accessibility

10:29 PM

There's always another way in

Stolen Dreams.

I mean like, describe the room

i remember a few spy missions where i had to hack every console to get stuff to line up

there's not actually very many different vaults

ooh this WCAG requirement is neat

10:30 PM

and which faction is it?

I hate it when sites tie links to javascript functions

@John i think the game has like 6 or 7 ways to get into a room and then locks down several of them depending on difficulty

@GodEmperorDune As far as I've seen, this is correct

Q: A baby zombie jumped onto a zombie and rid it, is this a glitch?

because i find like a favorite way that always works at lower levels and then same map but high level and it's blocked

indestructible grates and whatnot

also that stupid corpus walljump one with lasers

I have no mods and it is my Xbox-360 and the zombies didn’t spawn that way. Is this a glitch?

10:33 PM

on the other hand, watching high level randos do spy vaults in alerts has taught me some new ways to approach things

I wish the different spy vaults had names or something

MBraedley

Bah, time to go shovel last night's snowfall. Unfortunately, probably won't be the last time this year.

They're all so different, but really hard to identify from a description

Also, I'm starting to run into enemies that remove all my shields with one attack.

Which is nice.

Oh and someone who can steal all my weapons?

@John i'm surprised the community hasn't named them yet

@Yuuki wat

sometimes you will drop your weapon if you go on fire

10:40 PM

"Drop", you say.

and it will show up as a blue waypoint marker on screen

Yeah, like 100m away.

like you'll switch to secondary and not be able to switch back to primary

also the grineer commander has this annoying ability to teleport switch spots with you

sometimes its like a few m away, other times is across a big room

I have to be here for four more hours

Maybe I'm feeling like this cause I took so much M the other day but I don't think so

It's been happening a lot

@cazc_941 brain chemistry is a helluva thing

10:44 PM

No wonder she's losing interest if I'm always acting like this

i don't know specifically about M tho

@cazc_941 did she tell you she's losing interest or are you assuming that from other things?

Well she told me that how she felt isn't 'gone'. It's just 'dormant' so yeah

Plus it's pretty clear, she used to text me all the time and be all over me, now she reads my messages and doesn't respond and like the last three times I've seen her she hasn't wanted to hook up so

She wants to break and hopefully reconnect once she's out of school for the summer cause she says she can't focus on me as much

But I've seen how she focuses on her friends and fwbs so I mean idk what to do

I should probably have ended it a long time ago like I said

I told her I was having panic attacks and she was like yeah you have been having a lot of need lately

I've been having them at work I think I'm having one right now

Fuck

breathe

you're gonna get through this

it sucks right now but it won't suck always

My brain cannot reconcile the way things are now with the way they were it just catches and sticks over and over

And I didn't bring any fucking weed today so I can't make myself calm down

things always change and sometimes they are in your control but most often they are not and you need to figure out how to adjust to the things you can't

10:49 PM

I can't

not all at once of course, but little adjustments over time end up with big adjustments

you totally can

We went to her friends barbecue in her town a few days ago and she hooked up with her friend and not me. Granted I was super passed out on the couch and her friend is a girl but how did she think that was gonna make me feel

Stuff like that

I feel like a secondary consideration

In everything

Sorry if TMI delete that if somebody gets uncomfortable

Otherwise the party was fun...

She complains about all the little jokes I make now they used to make her laugh now she just argues with me

Omg I need to go home

I can't do this

when you get a chance, sit down and talk with her while neither of you are drunk/high

and tell her these things

and listen to what she says

We've tried

We agreed to take a break for a bit and for a few days I felt really good not worrying about her so much

Idk not working now

Seeing her made it worse again and we had a shitty like silent car ride back because I don't know why we just weren't talking

This is fucked

Okay I'm gonna go before I take over here any more goodbye

@cazc_941 stay safe, we care about you and you make the world a brighter place

11:21 PM

Bridge! I has news!

I'm engaged!

18

@Frank Congratulations!

This is what I gave her:

@Frank congrats!

@Frank it's a beautiful ring...unfortunately it's not a gundam

@GodEmperorDune Nope. But she recognized it right away. It's from a video game.

well if she likes it i suppose that's what matters

user15026

11:28 PM

@GodEmperorDune I'm trying to imagine a gundam engagement ring now

@Ash I'm sure they exist.

ToxicFrog

augh that looks familiar

Also, congratulations! :D

@Frank they'd be too big for human fingers so you'd need to buy her a gundam too

@Ash i'm thinking it lights up and stuff and @Frank has a whole imgur of him painting and assembling it

as close in real life as you'll get

11:33 PM

@Memor-X ok wow

user15026

11:54 PM

@Frank They probably do, I'm just imagining like five rings that come together ala the power rangers >.>

user15026

@GodEmperorDune probably this yes

user15026

@Memor-X It is so big and they are so small

Q: Can I get both heroes in the second mission of Age of Wonders I campaigns?

@Ash i think it's a 1:1 scale statue

user15026

That's my understanding from the article. It's terrifyingly large

After the first mission in both of Age of Wonders I campaigns you have to choose a path that will decide your next mission. One of the options allows you to get a cool artifact weapon, the other one yields you a second hero. Many people call the hero option inferior, because if you level up the s...

So the dude at smashburger just gave me a random $2 off?
