Hydra launcher.. is it supposed to make installs easy??

I kept seeing people say Hydra launcher is great for steam deck.. grabbed it. Seems very polished but but I installed a fitgirl repack and i'm confused, how do I integrate an installed game w hydra launcher (or just direct on steam itself)? Manually add it? Or does hydra launcher make it easier

Best nodes for easy lora scheduling?

As in, where you can say you want lora1 to start full and cut down to low, etc. I found 'realtime lora' but i can't figure out how to use it, and its not popular so i feel like there must be a better choice.

Very strange web ui bugs since updating?

I just recently replaced my whole Comfyui setup w the portable one, w python 3.13, etc.. Everything is much snappier and great EXCEPT the webui is VERY weird. Two issues:

  1. If i switch tabs while a generation is happening, the output will update on the NEW tab as well as the correct tab that the generation is in. As in, i'll see tab A's output on tab B's image preview, etc. It's... strange.
  2. After a gen, until i move the mouse, the image doesn't show up. Also, often times rgthree image compare won't even show the images if i haven't been actively viewing that tab.

This is web ui, as in, viewing my gaming computer's comfyui server via chrome on my laptop.
Node 2.0 is off.

Are there any benchmarks that show better how truly reliable a coding model is?

The new chinese models that are 'so great' in terms of artficialanalysis.ai benchmarks, I'm finding are not ACTUALLY great. They're okay, but they f*ck up a lot. Weirdly even Claude Opus 5 is making some weird mistakes sometimes. GPT 5.6 Sol, even though its SO SO SLOW, seems to be significantly better at finding the correct bugs in complex situations.
Obviously this is all my own anecdotal experience but surely I can't be the only one feeling this way, so i was wondering if any benchmarks are more reflective of this?

How do you stop GPT 5.6 sol from making pointless subagents and taking FOREVER?

It's weird.. 5.6 sol is really thorough and most of the time, way more correct than any other model. However, it takes FOREVER because its spinning up subagents for really basic tasks, burning a ton of tokens, and overthinking a lot of stuff.

Is there a middle ground? i already put details in my global agents file about not spinning up sub agents for basic tasks, etc, but its not following it.

Best 'cheap' but decent model that isn't deepseek v4 flash or pro?

I had tons of issues with deepseek + openclaw/hermes agents, where it was making weird shit up and going WAY off track. I assumed that was context issues with the agent systems.

Then yesterday i said 'Look at this and tell me XYZ, DO NOT TRY TO FIX ANYTHING OR EDIT ANYTHING' and boom, it sees an issue and tries to fix it and breaks something.

So, i've concluded that deepseek v4 flash and pro are just not very good at following instructions so I want to know what the next best options are? I especially am curious if there's something comparable to the price of deepseek v4 flash that is good at simpler tasks AND doesn't go off track.

Best 'stacking' options for a gridfinity setup?

I've been trying to figure out a better cable management system - i've got this drawer system from container store that has these kinda taller drawers that are somewhat narrow.
I've seen some great gridfinity cable organizers where its like, three or four slots that let you put cables upright rather than laying flat. Much better space usage. However, since i have tall drawers, it'll waste a ton of space above it. Trying to figure out if theres a good way to stack gridfinity bases+boxes basically?

Uh i can't even get iOS transcription working well

I just got obsidian in hopes i can do a fairly simple way to quickly reccord voice notes, and have them organized automatically into notes in folders, etc.
I saw a million IG videos about this so i finally got obsidian iOS, and it doesnt even have voice recording by default? So i tried the built in voice record, but it doesn't transcribe. I've now also tried Voice MD, Whisper, and Gemini Scribe. I at least got Gemini Scribe working but its miserably terrible in terms of UI - i have to open the command palette, hit record/stop, talk, then swipe down to open the commands again and hit it again to stop.
I've asked GPT 5.6, its all over the place with recommendations.

Is this app really so difficult to get going? My goal was to stop myself needing to spending so so much time on my laptop and just organize my thoughts for later.

If anyone has a quick start type tutorial that goes over basics like this, I'd appreciate it.

That google scam.. so strange. Got told to f* my mother.

I've been getting those Google workspace account phishing calls for years (where they spoof the Google number or call from something very similar). Today I was just so burned out and annoyed so i decided to pick up to see what would happen. hit '1', got a callback like 10 minutes later. Guy picked up, i told him i know it's a scam and that i'm hoping they can take me off their list lol. He tried to talk over me so i just started reading the next lines in his script, then i swear he started speaking in tongues SO ANGRY. Then he said f* your mother (in spanish). have i made a terrible mistake?

Where do I ACTUALLY get an ADHD Assessment?

I’m trying to figure out the right way to get assessed for adult ADHD when I already have a psychiatrist and a cyclothymia diagnosis. I’ve been on Wellbutrin for a long time (10 years) which was given to me to help control my mild mood swings. I briefly stopped it a few years back, and restarted about a year ago because I was having noticeable mood swings.. periods of feeling unusually ambitious and hyper, followed by periods of feeling like I’m terrible at everything. Those swings are now fairly under control, and my current concern is possible ADHD, which my wife has wanted me to get checked for, and which I for a long now might be a big part of why i'm having a hard time with my work and focus.

My psychiatrist said she doesn’t perform ADHD assessments but would be willing to prescribe and monitor ADHD medication if another provider diagnosed me, so I found what I thought was an ADHD specialty clinic through my insurance. They scheduled me with a psychiatric nurse practitioner, but during the hour-long intake she spent almost the entire appointment discussing bipolar disorder, asked very little about my actual ADHD symptoms, and did not perform any formal assessment. She said she needs several more appointments before deciding anything and that I would eventually need to stop seeing my psychiatrist because only one provider should manage my medications. I understand why she wants to be cautious about bipolar symptoms, but I’m uncomfortable transferring medication management from a psychiatrist to an NP, especially when she incorrectly called Wellbutrin an SSRI and barely addressed the reason I made the appointment. Is this a normal ADHD evaluation process, and who should I actually be looking for if I want a proper adult ADHD assessment while keeping my current psychiatrist for medication management??

I should note, this whole process has been made especially difficult because blue Shield of CA's PPO network is awful.

Timeout issues, can't figure out what setting to change?

I'm getting:
- message failed: gateway timeout after 30000ms

- later: telegram outbound send ok

- later: message.action 51702ms

After discussing with ChatGPT for awhile, seems like its because it was queuing up sending images to me, OR it got clogged up due to my machine slowing down for some reason. But this is causing it to double send messages, its maddening.

Anyone have this issue??

Claw is being so, so stupid

Using Deepseek v4 flash since I was under the impression that it's decently smart for the price. But every five messages, it's making some really weird, stupid decision about what I'm asking it to do.
Basic stuff like organizing a few items from a search, filtering things, etc.
Is this cause of the model is the system prompt particular bad with Openclaw's defaults?
What level of model do I need to be using??

"Oh sorry, I should have told you I'm stuck but instead I've been trying browser calls for over an hour"

Thank freaking god I'm using model relay with free models. How the hell do I prevent this?? I had asked OpenClaw to go through an eBay search result link and build a list of good options. I guess it hit a captcha and rather than stopping, it kept going for literally an hour and a half. Never tried to tell me anything was wrong. How do I prevent this?!

Can I have OpenClaw use a different model automatically for image related tasks?

I have asked ChatGPT 5.5 thinking high, SO many times about setting this up. Literally I just want a simple way to say to OpenClaw "hey, go on this site and do these things and for each image you grab, use X model to compare these images to Y image" basically. Where X model is a model that takes input images as well as a prompt.

In other words, automatically switch to another model for a subtask.

But I CANNOT get a clear answer. Help?

But if I ask it to make her waist thinner, it's a content moderation issue??

LTX 2.3, is there a new version?

One of the platforms I used posted a new LTX 2.3 "quality" today and it looks way better than I expected. Has people singing to an audio reference.

Is there a new version that's really good or something? Or is it just a better workflow?

And can you do motion control type of stuff, like copy a videos movement?
