Looking for the right positions

Hi good people of Reddit,

I was born with hip dysplasia/hip dislocation in both hips. Thankfully the doctors managed to fix it for the most part: one hip was put back perfectly and the other almost perfectly.

Because of that I have a slight difference in length between both my legs, my balance is shit, and I'm not exactly the most agile/flexible dude.

It's never really made me feel left out or anything, but there are just some random things I physically can't do. I can't ice/roller skate or ride a skateboard because I just don't have the balance. I also can't sit comfortably in a canoe for very long... no wait, more relevant to this post: I can't do what we call in Dutch "de kleermakerszit", basically sitting cross-legged.

Lotus, Burmese, all those kinds of positions... I wish I could try them, but they're just not really an option for me.

I picked meditation back up a while ago after years of not doing it, and I prefer doing it sitting because if I lie down I just get sleepy.

Right now I usually sit with my legs straight out in front of me and my arms either resting on my lap or over my abdomen while holding my own hands. It works, but something about it feels a bit off. Especially my arms. I kind of feel like they should be more "connected" to the rest of me somehow, if that makes any sense.

Maybe it's completely in my head, but sometimes it feels like the position itself is limiting me a bit. Not really because it's painful or anything, I just don't feel as settled or grounded as I think I should.

So I was wondering what kind of sitting position people would recommend if sitting cross-legged just isn't possible. And especially what you do with your arms/hands so they feel natural and relaxed instead of like they're just *floopy

EQ settings don't transfer to pc

Hi folks,

I am trying out the CMF Headphone Pro by Nothing. I really am happy with it and I have basically decided on keeping it. The only downside is my PC. According to Nothing the headphone should remember the EQ settings I set in the app, and transfer them to my pc. This doesn't happen, the sound goes to the default setting (no EQ).

I have an EQ app (Peace) on my PC which I normally use for my wired headphones, I tried using this to replicate the EQ settings from my phone but it doesn't really translate. Basically wondering if I am doing something wrong, if I am wrong and what i could do to fix this.

I have other headphones with LDAC and my PC and OS support it to, I haven't had this issue with other headphones. Might be relevant...

Matches not available?

Hi folks,

So since a while, for some reason about half of my matches ends up 'unmatched'. I'd see a notification on my phone from. Tinder or Happn from maybe 20/30 minutes ago, but often times when i try to send a message i see my match is gone.

I feel like i have clear and diverse enough pictures to paint a picture of who i am, and they're clear enough to see what i look like. Without seeing my profile it might be hard to point what exactly could be causing it, but I'm just wondering if I'm the only one.

In the years before i seldom experienced something like this. a match would be a match, it just started off so suddenly.

Thanks!

Having way too much fun with the character creator alone

Coming from CK2 the looks in this game are a huge upgrade. I love just trying to make funny rulers before actually using them. Any fun ideas?

Looking for a modern (J)RPG for when you're not a huge anime fan

To explain, I am quite new to JRPG's. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest (does Like a Dragon count?) are all game franchises i completely missed out on. I have always postponed giving those types of games a chance they seem to deserve, so with my vacation coming closer I'd like some recommendations!

I've played some western RPG's and absolutely loved getting lost in the worlds of FromSoftware, Bethesda and CD Projekt Red. I'm looking for games that offer a well built world basically.

As mentioned in the title, I'm not big on anime and having the style in my game (like Persona, Xenoblade) only works if it's not too 'much'. I find it hard to describe as there's anime i can really enjoy, I just am not made for games that feel like an interactive anime.

I'm specifically looking for games from about the last 10 years. I am pretty sure I know most classics, but if there's a less typical older pick you feel i should check out, feel free to drop it!

Thanks for reading :)

Current state of DLC unlocking on Linux

Hi everyone,

It seems gaming on Linux is a lot more viable than 10 years ago. Like a lot of other people I've been thinking about switching to a Linux distro for my daily driver. About 1/2 years back I tried it, but found that it DLC unlockers didn't work for the games I needed them for.

In many other aspects switching to Linux turned out to be a good idea, but because for gaming I'm pretty dependent on the DLC unlockers I went back to Windows for the time being. I wanna know from your experiences how the state of these unlockers on Linux is now. Are there actual dedicated ones that work? Or does it come down to using WINE and hoping for the best?

Thanks for reading!

Hi folks,

While my country has recently made it a lot harder to get research chemicals (which for some substances isn't a bad thing in my opinion) i recently found i can still get my hands on 1P-LSD.

In the past I've done 1P-LSD 3 times, and actual (tested) LSD 2 times. I'm looking to do it again somewhere in the near future, and in my search I came across a website that offered 2 products for LSD blotters. These were 100 uG blotters, and 150. The 150 ones are named 1P-LSD Art blotters.

I have no idea what it's supposed to mean, or if it's even supposed to mean anything besides having a 'cool' name. Before even remotely considering it, I'd like to be sure.
