2023.04.02 13:18 blankistyping My (26f) Dad (52m) is toxic and verbally abusive and I want to go no contact but we live together

So a bit of history first
My dad (52M) and I (26F) have had a strained relationship growing up. I’m the eldest and have two sisters. My dad has always had quite a drinking problem, and growing up he was either not home (he was cheating on my mum and had another girlfriend in a different city) or when he was home I felt like I was walking on eggshells.
He’s never physically abused me but there’s always been verbal abuse, rage, intimidation, and manipulation. He can be extremely scary when he’s angry and usually, it would come from external stressors like work or marital issues, etc, then if something at home happened it would tip him over the edge and he would blow up. He and my mum would get into intense arguments in front of us and I remember him punching walls.
When I was around 16 I found out my mum was cheating on my dad (at this stage I didn’t know he had been cheating on her for a long time) and told her that she needed to tell him or I would. This caused a huge bust-up between them where he kicked her out of our house but they got back together shortly. My mum hated me for this for a while and used to tell my little sisters I was the reason this family was splitting up. This is also around the time when she decided to tell me about my dad’s many infidelities. This period of time in my life has never been spoken of or brought up ever again. I tried to talk about it once I left home as it had a huge impact on me but they got very defensive and warned me to shut up.
When they got back together they would have a lot of loud sex, to the point where from my room with the door closed I could clearly hear them both, and my bed would shake. This was really disturbing for me at that age and happened so frequently that I was too scared to have any of my friends stay the night for fear of them hearing. One night I ended up texting my parents to ask them to please stop as I don’t want to have to hear this. My dad responded with “no sorry we can’t” I remember feeling so disgusted with both of them and would constantly stay over at different friends houses to get away from it.
From then on my relationship with both my parents really crumbled. There were still good moments in our family but because of extreme highs and lows, it was hard to feel secure. My sisters and I would hear them having violent screaming matches, and my dad was so on edge he would end up screaming at us for whatever reason. It felt like there was no middle ground, just happiness or rage. I felt like a target because I was the oldest and ultimately I would try to challenge him and stand up to him which really only made things worse.
For this reason, I would never really feel that comfortable around my dad. He is the sort of guy who just demands to be respected, and doesn’t like anyone in our family to speak back to him, even if you only have a slight tone. I moved out when I was 18 and my relationship with my parents got a lot better with the distance, I almost forgot and buried the bad memories and carried on with my life.
Recent events:
Me (26f) and my partner (26m) of four years were in a situation where we were looking for a new place and my parents offered to rent a large house so that my partner and I could have one end and my mum and my sister could have the other end. We agreed because of our financial situation and it felt like a big enough house to be able to keep to ourselves. We still pay rent but it was cheaper than getting our own place.
So we began living together in December last year. At the end of January, my dad was having one of his out of control rages at my sister and her friend when my mum wasn’t home, so my sister and her friend were hiding from him in the bathroom. He screamed at them to come out and when my sister opened the door he grabbed her by the neck and pushed her out while also raging at my sister's friend who was frightened. My partner and I witnessed this and were horrified. This is when I stepped in and told him to leave, which he did. My sister was crying hysterically which really reminded me of my past self in a similar position, but for her, this was the first time he has treated her like this. So me, my other sister (now 23f) and my mum all stuck by my younger sister which lead my dad to avoid the house and all of us for a week, followed by sending us all an apologetic text about how bad he’s been feeling mentally and how he wants to leave for our sake and get his own place and see a therapist, etc. My mum ate this up and forgave him almost immediately. He kept saying he would seek therapy for his anger issues and we all ended up believing that part. Of course, no change happened. It was dusted under the rug and my poor sister was pretty much forced to get over it. Hasn’t been spoken about since and I hate myself for not doing more to hold him accountable for this.
Since then though I’ve felt uncomfortable around my dad in the way I used to feel when I was younger, I felt I did not really want to engage in much conversation with him but forced myself to keep the peace and be polite. He tries to play that part of a silly goofy dad sometimes, trying to break the ice by telling dad jokes and being all playful but this ultimately makes me even more uncomfortable because he’s never been that sort of dad in my eyes, as it can change in a switch. He does have a genuine funny side to him but so many negative things have happened that I find it hard to see him overall in a positive light.
Three days ago he brought his old motorcycle home. For context, my partner and I’s room is right next to the carport. On Thursday morning he started up the motorcycle and let it warm up, which jolted my partner and me awake, it was obnoxiously loud, so naturally, we were annoyed by this. I went to the lounge, I can see the bike is right next to the connecting wall to our room so, half asleep, I go up to my dad and say “hey dad that’s really loud can you please move the bike a bit further down the driveway?” He completely blows up at me, walking towards me swearing and yelling, telling me to fuck off, saying things like who am I to tell him what to do in his house. I began to back away and he followed me into the kitchen area while still swearing, so I quickly went back into my room and shut the door. At this point, I’m in total hysterics crying to my partner because I just can’t believe I’m dealing with this all over again. I called my mum and my sister, my sister was disgusted (she doesn’t have a good relationship with him and we share similar thoughts about him) and my mum was sympathetic for me too but said he’s under stress at work and she’s not getting involved.
So I sent my dad a text saying that it’s a disgrace that he thinks he can still speak to anybody like that and that we all pay rent here so we need to be considerate of each other and that he should have sought therapy when he said he would as I’m not going to be treated like this anymore. He responded by saying I’m selfish and full of shit and he’s terminating the lease (though he didn’t, it’s a bluff). I didn’t respond.
It’s been three days and I haven’t said a word to him. Nor him to me. I feel I want nothing further to do with him unless he starts therapy. But it’s extremely hard to cut him out of my life completely while living under the same roof. I’m at University right now so I’m pretty broke. But I’m planning to leave eventually, my partner and I just need to build up the funds to do so and find somewhere that isn’t so expensive.
My mum is currently pretending like nothing is wrong and won’t even talk to me about what’s happened or how I’m feeling. My dad has also now brought my sisters' affection by paying for her car repair payments too, something he wouldn’t normally do. She said she felt bad accepting it given the situation but she needs the money and now feels she can’t get involved the way she would like to. My parents have also planned a family dinner with my grandmother at the end of next week and it just makes me sick the thought of having to play happy families.
I feel like his behavior and rages are never going to change and the only person who is supporting me fully right now is my partner. The most obvious solution is to move out but I’m not in a financial position to do so right away. Is it even possible to just ignore him for 6 months or a year until I can leave? I feel so stuck and don’t know what to do. I wish I never moved in here in the first place I honestly don't know what I was thinking, I guess I thought it would be different or better as an adult but now I feel like teenage me all over again.
TLDR: My dad has anger and drinking issues and after years of dealing with it, the most recent events have tipped me over the edge but I’m stuck in a house with him because of my financial situation.

2023.04.02 13:04 Zubzub_Loko Photon Mono X 6K dont turn on after official firmware update

After try to update my printer, it DO NOT turn on again. I've used the official firmware from anycubic website.
After unpacked this PMX6K firmware, I follow the instructions checking my motherboard version, and find its is HC version.
Then, I copy the two files ("PMX6K_HC_V022.bin" and "PMX6K_HC_F010_lite.bin") in the folder to the root directory of the USB drive.
Firstly I've printed the file "PMX6K_HC_V022.bin" and my printer turn off. It's nothing I can do to turn it on again. Do you guys can give me any support? Because I do exactly what guide told me, I've used an official fIrmware and as you can see I'm relly desperate.
Now it's just not powering on/ lighting the screen, but the USB flashes for a quick second when the power switch is set to on. Any idea on how to fix the issue? Thank you.

2023.04.02 12:31 Thirsha_42 Tight Money

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading SpacePaladin15's the Nature of Predators series and all of the fanfics as well. I finally had enough inspiration to start writing my own. I haven't written anything like this since college so it has been a while. Please message me with any suggestions and constructive criticisms. I have never written in the 1st person so this is particularly new to me but I hope I stayed mostly true to the format set in the universe. This is only part one of I don't know how many but I have a detailed outline with 6 1/2 pages and this only took me to half a page of that.
I want to give a HUGE shout out to BiasMushroom who let me use some of their news reports, their character Talen, and gave me some direction for my story. I also want to thank YakiTapioca and SavingsSyllabub7788 for letting me use elements from their stories as well.


Memory transcription subject: Leena, Capital Spaceport Logistics Coordinator
Date [standardized human time]: August 22, 2136
I opened my eyes to the dimly lit room. Confused, I looked at the blinds, they should be open. My eyes fell onto the cradle. The twins were still sleeping, their tails curled around each other. Glancing at the clock on the bedside table I could see why the blinds hadn’t opened. I still had almost a quarter claw before my usual waking.
My eyes shifted to the photo next to the clock. The day my husband and I celebrated finding out I was pregnant. Conflicting emotions of happiness and melancholy filled my mind. It was a wonderful memory but I couldn’t ignore the empty space next to me. The arxur had killed him before Vissa and Tas were born. With not enough time to go back to sleep and no desire to get up yet either, I reached for my holopad to check Prime News. The Anchor woman was mid-sentence when the feed buffered.
“-minion forces have attacked the research outpost hosting the Venlil-Human Exchange Program. The station defenders were able to defeat the raiding party with no damage to the station at all. We have received reports from the Governors Office that there were no venlil casualties resulting from the battle. However, the humans suffered over a hundred casualties and recovery efforts are ongoing. One fighter with a venlil and human pilots is missing in action. According to a source on the station, this defender was able to heroically lure away two of the arxur raiders and fled towards the Federation border. The whereabouts and well-being of the pilots is unknown. In Governor Tarva’s press release, her office stressed that the lack of venlil casualties was the result of the human copilots telling their venlil pilots to eject or in some cases even forcibly ejecting them in some cases.”
Why would predators save prey? We were nothing in their eyes. I can’t fathom how this played into their schemes. The blinds opened and the alarm went off. The twins stirred and I know it is time to get up and feed them. No more news. Set the holopad down and pick up the twins, check their diapers, nurse them, check their diapers again, play with them, hold them, sleep with them. Things had finally settled into a comfortable routine again.
This last [week] had been so hectic, the invasion sirens, Governor Tarva’s announcement about peaceful predators, and the closed borders. In a single day we became prisoners in our own space and our leader had all but withdrawn us from the federation. We had no protection anymore. Tarva ignored our protests outside her mansion and even encouraged people to talk to the predators. The only sensible thing to happen was the magistrates announcing they would activate all of the current and former extermination officers and increase recruitment. That was only two days. Vissa and Tas were done. I had been playing with them a while when mom called.
“Hi honey, how are you?”
Dad stepped into the frame. “How are the twins?”
I held the holopad over Vissa and Tas on the bed. The two seemed enraptured by the picture.
Dad cooed. “They are so precious.”
“We are doing better each day dad.” I laid on the bed next to Vissa and Tas and held the holopad so that mom and dad could see me and the twins. Tas reached for holopad while Vissa giggled.
Mom spoiled them with attention, wiggling her fingers at the camera, encouraging Tas. “We would love to come visit you and the kids. Oulo has a rest paw coming up soon. We should get their paw prints cast and take them to the park.”
“That sounds like a great idea. I know the twins would love to see you. I still have some extra train rides on my account from my maternity leave. Message me the details and I’ll book you both tickets.”
“You should save those dear, we can manage the tickets.”
I could see the worry in their tails however much they tried to hide it. “Dad, we don’t use the train in the capital. We use the trolley system to get around so I have extra train rides and I would love to have you. You know I could use the extra help with the babies.”
That won them over and it wasn’t a lie. Living in the capital meant we had more options for transportation. Plus, with the predators at their new complex, I haven’t been getting out except to get food or diapers.
“Oh, ok then. We wouldn’t want those to go to waste.” Dad nudged mom with his tail. “Tell her your good news.”
Mom, sat up and smoothed her fur excitedly. “I just got the news that I got the job at Vikki’s Flowers!”
“Mom, that’s wonderful! When do you start?”
“I start in 5 paws. I was honestly surprised they were hiring at all with things how they are.” When Tarva closed the borders, she cut off all trade with the federation and caused an economic crisis like we hadn’t seen in my lifetime.
“That is wonderful news and I hate to cut this short but it is about time to put them down for their nap. Send me the details and I’ll get you the tickets.”
“Rest well sweetie.”
“Goodbye mom, dad. See you soon.”
I ended the call and put the twins in their crib. Vissa was almost asleep already and Tas wasn’t far behind, despite his best efforts.

The alarm started chiming and the blinds opened, flooding the room with light. Vissa and Tas started crying. Checking their diapers needed to be done first. I wish they would stop crying while I changed them. I turned on the news to watch while I fed them. Talen was back and he sported a bandaged head. Did the humans do that? He had only been at the Exchange Program for a couple days. What happened? Talen started his report.
“Breaking news. The venlil and human that have been missing in action since the arxur attack on the outpost station that was hosting half of the Venlil-Human Exchange Program on [August 21st], have made their way back to us in a stolen Federation craft.” Talen sighed. “The human, known as Marcel, was in critical condition, while his partner Slanek was injured but stable. We will now show you a recording of the incident. If you are prone to feinting or other outbursts, please block this show for the next [minute] as the contents of this video are quite disturbing.”
With the twins in my arms, I could not reach the holopad to do anything about the video. Prime news switched to a camera elevated above the humans, who were crowded around the docking bay, craning their necks to see their pilot as the ship finished the docking procedures. Human paramedics rushed through a hole in the crowd as a venlil who I assumed was Slanek, shouted at them and gestured with his tail inside the ship.
The camera zoomed in on the entrance to the craft as the paramedics reemerged with a human on their stretcher. He was hardly recognizable as a human. His body was splotchy and obviously emaciated. His skin was taught and his face. Sun and starts what had the Federation done to him. The camera panned back out as the paramedics whisked him through the hole in the crowd.
Before the video ended, I noticed that the predators backed away from the paramedics as they drew close. Do they fear being hurt like that? Are they trying to help by making more space? Talen returned to the screen.
“What you have seen here is the after effects of Federation torture of their human prisoner. The story that we have so far is that Marcel made a call to lure the arxur attackers away from the outpost, where their ship became disabled and were rescued by Captain Sovlin. Marcel was fitted with an electric shock collar, beaten, and starved for days before Slanek woke from a coma. Slanek was taken to see Marcel in an attempt to convince him that they are savage beasts. When that failed the Federation Captain attempted to feed Slanek to his human partner. Slanek was later able to convince Captain Sovlin’s first officer, Recel, to betray his captain and save Marcel. The trio stole a federation craft and made their way back to Venlil Republic space where Marcel is still in critical condition but being treated.”
The co-host continued, “For those out of there that still believe humans are simply biding their time, or will slip into predatory behavior if they are stressed out, here is proof that even if they are starving to death, they will not attack and attempt to eat a venlil. We have contacted the UN for an official statement on what they plan to do and have been notified they will give an official statement soon. We will continue to cover this story as it unfolds.”
Prime news finished that segment and transitioned to a panel of experts but the twins were done feeding so back in the crib they go while I cleaned up and got ready for the day. A chime alerted me to a new message on my holopad. After showering and drying off, I put Vissa and Tas in a play pen with some toys and checked the Bleat message. It was from, Niit.
“I hope you are doing well Leena. I am sending you a message to let you know that our claws are being cut again due to the lack of Federation trade. There simply isn’t enough traffic but, and this surprised me let me tell you, we will be retrofitting an old Venlil Cruiser. I heard talk that Tarva is trying to increase the number of combat ready ships.
If you ask me, I think she knows something we don’t. The predators are up to something and she has finally figured that out and is preparing for it at the roots. Hopefully, the Federation will forgive us if we give them Tarva to make an example of and send the exterminators in force to Venlil Prime to wipe them out. Paws open. Your friend, Niit.”
Well speh! Losing claws was a problem. I logged into my credit account to check the balance. I sighed in relief and sadness. The military survivor’s benefits were deposited a paw ago. That helps. Doing the math, I think we’ll be fine. Even if they cut me down to a claw and a quarter, I think I can still make it work with the benefits and an old ship retrofit will mean a lot of work for me searching for parts, so that bodes well. All that is left for today is to register Vissa and Tas in a care center. I started a search for local care facilities while I absently played with the twins. Vissa got her claws caught in my fur again. Guess I’ll look when they are napping.

My first day back and there had apparently been some changes. Niit had started to leave her holopad on to streams of Rux Limpbut, an infamous streaming personality, while she filled out work orders. I didn’t think he was wrong necessarily but did he have to be so obnoxious?
“This is it people, I told you it would happen. The humans are invading the Cradle. The humans are slaughtering their way across Gojid territory. And, AND! And what is our esteemed Governor doing about it? She is helping them. She has sent our soldiers into harms way to die for the predator’s conquest. The humans have revealed their true intentions.
They said they came in peace but now they are waging a war of extinction against the Gojid and they are using us to do it. WE KNEW there would be slavery but to force peaceful venlil to commit such atrocities…. I could never have predicted the depths of their depravity. These humans are as bad as the arxur, maybe WORSE, at least you know what to expect with the arxur but with humans they lie and steal and deceive… and they have stolen YOUR government. They have stolen….”
I signaled to Niit to mute the video as I made a call to inquire about a cooling unit for the Cruiser docked in the Capital hangers. When the call was over, Niit immediately unmuted the stream.
“-redators are? I’ll tell you how arrogant the predators are. They think they can convince the federation of their benevolent intentions WHILE THEY ARE SLAUGHTERING THEIR WAY ACROSS THE CRADLE! Only a predator would think that was sane. They claim that they needed to protect themselves, what a load of Speh. If we accept that then they would have reason to kill anyone who dared try to protect themselves. Do you, yes you listener, want to be slaughtered or dismembered, or ripped apart because you picked up your favorite gardening shovel?!
But I’ll tell you what I’m grateful for. I’m grateful the predators are so arrogant. I’m grateful they are sending their chief liar to the Federation Council. They will see what the predators are and see Tarva for the traitor slave she is. They will come and rescue us all. We only need to hold on a little longer. Now if you’re exhausted and spent then you need my endurance booster vitamins. These will give you the strength to power through your fears and hold out for the Federation rescue fleet and at only 30 credits for a whole bottle it is available to all venlil….”
“Niit, please turn it off,” I pleaded.
“He is… too much.”
Niit muted the stream and looked at me signaling sympathy with her tail. “I understand Leena, I do. The predators scare all of us.” She put her hand on my shoulder reassuringly.
I learned from Balan, that ever since the predators had arrived and the borders were closed, she had started listening to Rux and was a stalwart fan.
“You need to be vigilant! These predators could strike us at any moment. You should try Rux’s endurance boosters if you are struggling to keep up with the herd.” She reached into her desk and pulled out a bottle of the advertised pills and handed me one.
“I can give you one so you can see how good they are. I recommend buying the bulk pack. You save 5 credits per bottle.” She watched me expectantly.
With no other option, I swallowed the pill. I didn’t feel any different. “Thanks, Niit. I hope it helps.”
She waved her tail satisfied, “It will don’t worry.”
The ride to the care center was a short one. It was a happy coincidence that I had found a care center so close to the space port. The time saved commuting was enough that I did not have to pay for a full two claws of time. Still would have preferred that Governor Tarva had not closed the borders but I would take any blessings I could and Young Pups had a good reputation around the Spaceport. Vissa and Tas were fussy today and it was difficult to keep them awake before we got home. When I finally put them to bed and lay next to them the day finally caught up to me. It is nice that I have a break paw when I wake. I should take the pups to the park down the road. They would like that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again, I would love your constructive criticisms. I work full time and it took me a week to write this so I cannot guarantee a set upload schedule but I will try for one per week. Thanks in advance and I hope you enjoyed. And xXSinglePointXx, please don't pee in my shoes. The babies will be fine, I swear.

2023.04.02 12:22 MinimalEffortStudent Can’t decide on what handheld to get for cloud gaming and emulation

Lately I’ve been drooling on the steam deck, and this would be my obvious choice if it was possible to get it in my country. Same story for Logitech g cloud (won’t ship here, lol).
Since moving in where I live now, I don’t have space for my pc gaming rig sadly. So I’ve come to terms that I’ll be better off selling it and reinvesting in some other type of gaming rig.
This is where handheld devices comes in. I own a switch lite and wish I had the docked version (regular switch) so I could play on my 65 inch tv. Now I’ve been contemplating getting a regular console like a ps5, but not really interested as I’ll be starting out with 0 games while my pc library is well over 1000 games.
So I’ve been thinking about handhelds that can run much of my steam library or trying out cloud gaming.
My experience with cloud gaming is fairly limited to only hearing rumours few years ago that the Google stadia was a big flop etc. So how’s cloud gaming nowadays?
What I’m looking for is essential a device I can cloudgame reliable on and sometimes run emulations of games up to ps1 probably. And that is possible to dock or connect to a larger screen (my tv), and Bluetooth connection so I can use a external controller while I game stationary. Doesn’t need to be super comfy in the hand because I’ll be using it primarily in a docked mode, but option to play semi comfortably on the for the odd minutes here and there.
I’ve been checking out the Ayn Odin pro, Retroid pocket 3+, Anbernic RG353M, gpd win 3. And also some higher end models, but not sure shelling out 1500 $ for a device for this particular use is wise if a 3-400$ does the same job.
Not sure if an android device or a windows one matters in terms of what’s better in my situation?
So what would you do in my situation? Basically looking for a handheld console to turn into non handheld for cloud gaming lol

2023.04.02 12:06 flyingpomegranate Is there a way of verifying fake pkg files?

I don't mean checking whether they're corrupted (which is what programs like PS4PKGVerifier do if I understood correctly). I mean checking whether the part with the game data is original and unmodified. For all older consoles I found a way to do that, like checking the hashes of the extracted PS3 files with an IRD file or checking Nintendo's digital signature in NSP/XCI files for the Switch. Anything older than that and all you need to do is probably just compare the rom file's hashes with the hashes available on Redump or No-Intro.
So is there any way to do this with the PS4 fake pkg files?

Suddenly, my boat crashes. When I wake up, wet on a wooden dock in a town I don’t know, the lighthouse above doesn’t look like it’s pointing toward salvation.

How to disconnect this switch?
Hello, any ideas on how to disconnect this switch,
Even when I press the white tab in the center the 2 white tabs on the sides won't let me pull it out,
The shifter is getting stuck in park in a ford explorer 2003,
Any ideas will be appreciated, thanks.

The controller in question is a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and I plan to use it with the MAME core, so I need to set buttons for “insert coin” and all that jazz. How would I go about doing this?

2023.04.02 11:37 c4etech Best Game Streaming Solution

I've done this kinda write up on many posts from poeple asking this question so I thought I'd just make it one single post and link to it the next time I see this question pop up... So here's my experience with streaming...
I've spent 2 years trying pretty much everything that's been out... So here's the mainstream and not so mainstream options...
As you can see its been almost an obsession for me 😂 - so if anyone has any new ideas, I'd love to hear it... Anyway here goes....
Phone + controller - way too small a display for streaming aaa titles - 5.5" 16:9 is what you get on 6.8" 20:9 screens... (Technically can use custom resolution and stream 20:9 but lotta games don't support it and at that point you are looking at widescreen patches etc... And it's waay too much work)
Tip - use displaywars website to calculate screen sizes
Same applies to the Razer edge and gpd XP/XP+
Retroid pocket 3+, ayn Odin, retroid pocket flip etc... Display is still too small and they have short switch style sticks which I found to be a deal breaker... Games like hades, dead cells, Stardew valley... It's perfect for... Uncharted, hzd, GTA etc... Not so much... Basically if you play anything where u need to aim, you are gonna find it challenging
Pimax portal - haven't used the sticks, so not sure but the 5.5" display rules it out for me
Abxylute - perfect sized display, short sticks (why? Guys why?)
G Cloud - perfect - good sized display, full sized sticks... The best option right now but it does cost a pretty penny so...
...Steamdeck - given how close to the steamdeck the g Cloud gets, you might just get the steamdeck instead... It's heavier, slightly worse battery life (if streaming only) but you can also run some games natively which I know isn't what someone looking for a game streaming device wants but it's a nice bonus
Windows handhelds - great only if you want it doubling down as a PC... Else waay too expensive and short on battery for just streaming
So basically that leaves us having to choose between the g Cloud and steamdeck...
If you insist on still looking for more here are some lesser known options
Retroidboy (phones custom built into controllers) - super expensive, needs import from china, same small display and short stick issue
Lenovo legion play - difficult to source, filled with bugs due to not being final units... But almost beats the gcloud by being cheaper and lighter and matching it on everything... If only the damn units worked 😢 (also needs import from china... As in someone to pay in rmb and fwd to you)
Nvidia shield portable - small screen but the controller is so damn comfortable... Still small screen, old af, slow micro USB charging, stuck on Android 5.1 (no Xbox game pass or psplay since they need A6)... A6 custom ROM available but is iffy...
Nintendo Switch Jailbroken - could work... Not a fan personally cuz I don't like switching between Android and the regular os - and I'd need android since I also want to stream psplay... Maybe worth exploring for someone looking at gamestreamig...
Lenovo y700 + custom controller - this is promising... It's been tempting me for a while since I have the y700... but the custom controller is $200 and needs to be imported from china so I've kinda not tried it yet... So Quality remains unknown... For those interested here's a pic - https://imgur.io/a/Dxzvs71
Lenovo y700 + gamesir x2 pro - this is a good solution... Technically gamesir x2 pro doesn't fit tablets but if you break the plastic to the back slightly, you can make it fit it... It is an easy mod... Check yt to see how easy it is... And 8.8" screen is super cool, sd870 also beats the sd720g on the gcloud... The tablet is 350 ish, the controller 75 (don't remember exactly) - could be an option (alternatively cheaper tablets with type c like the realme pad mini could work)
Foldable + telescopic controller - only makes sense financially if you already own a fold... Maybe you could give this one a shot... Deal with irregular aspect ratios... Could be a cheap solution (...if you already own a fold)
Rog Phone + kunai gamepad - excellent gamepad, excellent phone, again just too small a display for AAA gaming but... It has an extra type c port... So if you wanted to say use an nreal air or Lenovo t1 glasses and get the display projected in front of you... This is the only phone that would let you do it while connected to a controller
Phone + nreal air + Xbox clip + Xbox controller - doable but kinda clunky and we are going waaay over budget here 😁
This is pretty much all I've tested and thought of - after all this I settle on the gcloud usually or my steamdeck if I don't wanna stream and just natively play on device 😊
Hope this helps!
About me - YouTuber who's never created a device but has been part of launches and planning for multiple phones and usually test 50-100 phones a year... Handhelds is a hobby... I've bought and tried almost everything I've mentioned in this post
Edit: Added the Switch

2023.04.02 11:23 bustedassbitch center of gravity recommendations?

i switched the back on my current chair to use a lighter roho agility mid-height as opposed to the previous comfort gel back. in doing so i had to finagle the mounting hardware using a frankenstein combo of the two, which as a result moved my backrest further forward relative to my seat, shifting CoG way back relatively.
i was able to move the backrest enough to restore a usable CoG position, but it’s still fairly conservative—wheelies take a little effort, although certainly not difficult.
this chair has a fully adjustable axle and back position, and the frame has plenty of room forward and backward. does anyone have any advice for positioning a more-aggressive center of gravity?
for reference, if i let my arms hang the forward edge of the axle pin is between the tips of my third and fourth fingers. i think i’d like to move it forward, about as far as my thumb?
eta: i have “normal” trunk strength and mobility, albeit with weight and time restrictions

Hey! I'm 17M and I haven't played Minecraft in a Long time. I started playing; but I don't have anyone to play with so it's kinda boring. I play on Nintendo Switch so I can add on Switch Friends too. Just let me know your Gamertag and Profile Picture - so it's easier to find you - and I'll add you up! Just a chill world we can start together and have fun and chill.

2023.04.02 11:14 reienthusiast Advice, please. I’m so down and don’t know how to get back up

I’m freshly 18, and over the past couple of years my life has gone severely downhill. Most notably though, I was hospitalized for physical health issues in November and then sent to a residential treatment center regarding some mental issues in December immediately upon being released. I left early in January because the environment was unsafe and two other patients violated my autonomy. I was in PHP until early March.
In December of 2021, I transferred to online school due to bullying over my sexual identity and gender orientation. As of being hospitalized, I had to switch to home schooling as my online school wouldn’t accommodate to the hours of the hospital and residential.
All of this puts me severely behind. I had no access to schooling, no ability to get my license, and so on. I will graduate late and still haven’t had the courage to pick school back up. I know I should, and I want to, but I also know I’m now severely lacking in the education department and I’m so afraid of failure.
I’m so behind. I’m too afraid to do what I need to do. I’m afraid to do school, I’m afraid to get my license, I’m afraid to get a job. I don’t want to fail. I’ve already failed myself and my family plenty over the last couple of years with all my physical and mental issues, I couldn’t stand doing it anymore.
Please, I need advice on how to not be so petrified and stuck in place. My mom says I just need to push through it, but that’s only made things worse.
