I'm playing Banjo Tooie for the gajillionth time in my 20 years of playing this game and for the first time I heard a disgusting bit of sound effects and voice lines in the worker lounge. I accidentally left before I could see/read them all but it sounded like a skivvy having a horrific case of diarrhea and him/her talking about the contents like, wtf? Behind the girl workers door?

How have I not heard or seen this in 20 years of playing? Is it some random rng based thing? Did I download a bad port of the game? What is going on lmao 😂

Hello, I am behind the times.

I am 30, but I still (archaelicly I guess) physically upload photos to my computer where I then sort, file, delete, and organize my photo albums on my C drive as needed, then delete the photos on my phone to clear up storage. I have been doing this since I had my old digital camera, and my first virgin mobile lg rumor 2. On top of that I have 2 external drives because I almost lost my photos when my hard drive failed once, had to pay 800 bucks just so they could extract the files back in 2014.

Everybody around me talks about cloud services but I never was interested because I heard things like "limited storage" "pay a monthly fee" and "cloud spaces can be hacked easily". Because of that, I have kept doing it the old fashioned way.

That being said, I keep telling stories and wishing I could bring up the photos that go with them on the spot but since I constantly move them to my computer I don't have access to them on my mobile device, which is a Google pixel. Is there anything that exists that is free and safe that would allow me access to these photos on my phone? Maybe an app, or a website or something?

Thanks for your time, I am ready to be schooled.

EDIT: Important to mention I am currently sitting at a total of 85 GB of photo and video files.

This has been a continuous problem between us for the five years we have lived together, together one year before we moved in with one another. I'll try my best to make this concise and not ramble. For the record he does have diagnosed ADHD, unmedicated.

Before we moved in, we discussed dynamics and expectations and such of living together quite thoroughly. I told him I want my own room because I need space, he said thank god, me too. I enjoy having a little cave to myself, and I have trouble sleeping next to another person. That worked out for the better since I'm always hot and he's always cold so he needs it sweltering when he sleeps and I need it icy. I also told him that since this is my first time moving out of home, I'm going to miss my dad a lot and need company. I warned him that knowing myself, I'm probably going to be around him a lot until I get settled into our home. We live in a moderate sized house of 1100 square feet, my room is on the second floor and his room is in the basement. He agreed to this and heard my wanting before moving in.

I definitely was by him quite a lot in the beginning, but he pushed me away a lot and over time I settled into my own rhythm after I got used to the house and routine. I used to be a lot more cute and cuddly in the beginning, I'm a very affectionate person who enjoys giving/receiving gifts, doing the goodnight good morning texts and calling after work to talk and see how they are. He was overwhelmed by my seemingly normal relationship rhythms, they thought it was too much so I had to stop a lot of my sweet, doting, affectionate self. He whittled me down. That was the start. Over time it feels like we spend less and less time together, and more and more he tells me that he's "setting boundaries" and "self-preserving" and whatnot.

Our days nowadays, five years in, feel lonely. I enjoy my time alone, I play a lot of games, read, do art, and make music when I can. I was working 30 hours but my hours got cut a lot so I'm spending more time at home right now. He now works 40 about.

On days when he's home, I enjoy going downstairs and saying good morning with a hug and a kiss, maybe talking a little bit, then getting back to what I was doing. I enjoy when he gets home to come down and say hi and hug and kiss and maybe talk and then again get back to what I'm doing, usually games. When I take breaks in my room I like to pop down and see how he's doing, then go back up to my room. When I ask to hang out, it doesn't happen very often. Maybe 1-2 times a week for a real hangout and not casually talking in the kitchen when we happen to be in it at the same time. He likes to claim that us talking in the kitchen is hanging out, quality time. It's not.

We don't sleep in the same bed together, we might eat dinner together maybe once a week if that, and maybe 1-2 times do we genuinely spend time together to hang out. I feel lonely, like we have lived apart so much that he keeps chipping away at just how much apart we can be and still have a "relationship". I've told him I'm lonely, and he says he's around me all the time. If that's the case, why am I in my room so much, alone, doing my own thing? I'm not bothered by doing my own thing, but it's his claims that "I'm around him too much". It certainly doesn't feel that way. It feels like he wants as much alone-ness as he did when we didn't live together. I try telling him that in normal relationships sharing a household it's quite normal for couples to sleep together, eat together, do chores together, and spend a lot of free time together and then parting for some alone time and hobbies.

With us though, it isn't like that. I'm craving more, and when I ask for more, I'm told I'm asking for too much. I don't get it. He tells me that me popping in on him all the time, being there when he gets home, or sometimes when he wakes up, is derailing his life to the point where he says it's impacting his ability to be affectionate with me, plan dates (he doesn't do, like ever, I have to beg), or do nice things for me. Its really starting to feel like he has no idea what it means to actually have a close partnership, and what kind of sacrifices you make and how lives become intertwined. It's like he's clinging to this autonomy of being single when hes no longer single. I was his first real relationship, this is not my first, I know what's normal. I see what's normal in our friends, and our married friends. He doesn't seem to get it.

I encourage him to do his hobbies and get out and spend time with others and have fun but it's like every time I go see him he's either only gaming, or laying in his bed doing nothing. And then when I ask him to hang out, he says he has no time to himself. Sounds like he just doesn't know how to manage his time properly or prioritize the things that will make him feel more balanced ie. Using his free time to do hobbies, explore art, clean and organize, unpack still, etc. He claims he can't do any of it, because of me. It's always " well I COULD do that but you, I WOULD have but you" etc. it seems so unfair, as I can't control how he spends his own time. Like for a quick example, after five years living in this house I asked him why are there still boxes down here and why his room is so disheveled and still unpacked. He then says well because when we moved in YOU never gave me the space I needed to get settled. Like cool, that excuse can work for maybe the first year, but it's been five. How long am I going to be the blame of you not getting settled when I myself have unpacked, organized, thrown out, downsized, cleaned, all of that multiple times in my own room since living here?

I have no clue if I'm just blind and maybe I am around him too much, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. Feels like below the bare minimum to me. He makes together feel lonely, and like I'm a chore he has to get out of the way, like he's not excited to spend time with me.

So, do you guys think I'm around him too much? I'm not sure what to do.

I desperately need to see both an obgyn and an endocrinologist for PCOS issues, hormone issues, the like. I've been ravaged by health problems for 10 years straight and it's reaching a point where it's really starting to impact my life and frighten me.

I don't know what to do. I need help. What can I do? It has to be a specialist. I'm fine with being seen but owing money "in theory" but as long as I don't need to "actually" pay it and it won't have any effect on my credit then I'm willing to go for it. I can do bare minimum copayments of like 20 bucks, but that's all I can spare per visit.

Was just curious. I'm only 30, and when I was younger my labia was normal looking and smooth but since I started having PCOS symptoms ten years ago my labia over time got dark, wrinkled, and deflated, I'm chalking it up to hormones.

Has anyone had any luck taking something orally or topically to plump them back up again? I hate how it looks. I used to love mine, it just looks awful now. On that same note, anything to lighten the area? Thanks guys

I'm still pretty new to audio but I'm gettin the hang of it pretty quickly. While I was working on a personal project today I was using pan pendulum to mess with some notes and I was "turning" the frequency knob with my cursor. It worked and was cool and all but I feel like it would be better if it was smoother, like with a physical knob I could turn with my hand.

Is there a specific piece of equipment I could eventually buy in the future that could help me? I currently just use a small midiplus akm320 so I don't have to use my computer keyboard as a piano but that's about it. Could I get a piece of equipment that has useful knobs and switches perhaps? Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Maybe even something used to keep my eye out for?

This is purely a hobby, doing this stuff just makes me happy.

They stop going back at 11.1, I'm trying to watch some old replays of mine but I need to go back further. Does anyone know where I can find patch 10.7? And 10.19?

I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

I'm slowly learning music, and I recently made a full song this time that I'm super proud of but I used a drum sample for the drums. I don't quite understand drums too well and whenever I've tried using a rack I just get lost, for now at least.

Is it frowned upon to stick to drum samples? Any cool advice or ways to transform them in unique ways? Other than just experimenting on my own of course.

I'm having a blast tinkering with sound c:
