I’m working on rigging my first model with no prior experience. I promise I do my best to look through the Live2D manuals and YouTube tutorials to sort through questions myself, but I can’t figure this one out :(

I’ve gone through every deformer and every parameter associated with these parts of my model. I’ve made sure keyframes were all correct, removed all glue, and reset all of the layers to original.  Nothing has restored the art to its original form. 

Anything else I should be checking, or is my only option to erase all the rigging I’ve done on these features and import some layers from the original unedited .psd?

Thank you so much!

I am more than a little loyal to Corsair (case, cpu cooler, all my fans, ram, psu, keyboard, mouse, lighting peripherals, etc) but I was gifted ram from another brand in double the size of the sticks I already own. The new GSKILL ram is 64gb alone, whereas I previously only had 48gb total (16x2 + 8x2) of my Corsair ram. I’ve been able to control both my Gigabyte mobo and obviously all of my Corsair components through iCUE. HOWEVER, my new ram can’t be controlled by iCUE at all. Now here’s the kicker…

When I download the GSKILL app (Trident Z), it only works with iCUE disabled. And iCUE is also a little unpredictable with the GSKILL app in use. The default rainbow mode is KILLING ME, but I can’t even turn the LEDs off from the GSKILL app while using iCUE at all.

I’m working with a budget of about $0 so unfortunately I can’t purchase more matching ram for the foreseeable future. Is there anything else I can do to either make this ram work with iCUE, or disable the lighting on this ram altogeher?

TLDR: Do I need to switch my two sticks of 32G DDR4 from slots 1 and 3 to 2 and 4? Is that what’s causing my new memory issue?

Obligatory disclosure: I’ve never previously spilled any liquids onto any of my consoles, pcs, or peripherals over the years. I’ve been incredibly careful. I am kicking myself about doing this, and I’ve taken measures to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Background: Several days ago I accidentally knocked over a cup with a little liquid onto my desk, with some falling through the cable management hole and into the top of my pc.  It did short. I immediately turned off and unplugged everything before pulling out components as quickly (and safely) as I possibly could, to dry them and assess any damage. I discovered very little actually got into my case (probably much less than an ounce), but I still allowed everything to dry out thoroughly for a couple days before reassembling. I put my SSD into a different slot this time due to a previous issue I had with the heat sink I was using- which may be completely irrelevant, but I wanted to add it just in case.

When I finally turned my pc back on, it was stuck trying to boot, and the DRAM light was solid on my mobo. I took my ram out and made sure to very firmly put them back into their slots. After a while, Bios gave me the option to update something for the ram? I think? and it rebooted without an issue. I wish I had read the screen more carefully or taken a photo, but I was just so excited it actually turned back on with no more EZ Debug lights.

I had no issues with my pc that day, until a few hours into streaming, my stream kept crashing with an error about memory space, until it eventually wouldn’t allow me to restart stream again. Again, wish I had screenshotted it, but alas I am dumb. When I restarted my pc, Bios gave me the message in the above photo.

I’ve never encountered this message before. I don’t understand what bios is suggesting. Is it that I should switch the slots my ram is in? I believe they’re at 1 and 3 (out of 4). Do I need to actually update something within bios, and if so, where can I find more info? Could my memory issue also be unrelated, and instead caused by where I put my SSD- or even water damage?

Asking my more savvy partner and doing several browser searches with different keywords hasn’t helped at all :(

Thanks for any advice!!

As the title suggests, I’m a first time customer of Figurama. I‘ve been a massive anime fan for the past 2+ decades, but only own a couple figures. I did however HAVE to preorder the special 20th anniversary edition figure of my favorite anime, because there’s almost no licensed merch out there. I would love some input from a more experienced collector!

Here’s my question: Who has purchased a preorder through Figurama, and what should I be expecting with shipping? Specificially, how long does it usually take, and how much should I be looking to pay? I’ve included a screenshot of the listing.

If I’m remembering correctly, it was originally projected to release earlier than what’s currently listed. I reached out to support a while back to ask if there was a more recent estimate on timing and I believe they said it’s Q3-4 of this year? I’m happy to continue being patient, I just wanted to see if anyone had some more general info.

More importantly, I have no idea what to expect cost wise. It’s the biggest figure I’ll have by far. The size of the figure and $45 incentive have me a little nervous… ;-;

Thanks a bunch for any advice!

Edit: Thanks for all of the good advice! I snagged some new ceramic pads and grease for cheap tonight, and when I’m able to, I’ll get that rotor turned (to be completely honest, I totally forgot that was an option lol).

Due to some really unfortunate circumstances, I haven’t been able to keep up on maintenance with my daily driver this year. My front passenger pad is now gouging my rotor. I can just barely afford to snag $40 brake pads, but don’t know when I’ll be in a position to purchase another rotor. My other rotors are all in pretty good shape, although I can obviously assume my other front pad could use replacing ASAP too.

Is it worth it to replace my pad now and deal with having to replace them again soon with the uneven wear, or just wait until I can get a rotor? It’s already cooked, and making that ROUGH ass grinding sound 💀
