All timeline data completely disappeared

I've had timeline on ever since they changed it to on-device storage, and I changed the deletion policy to never. When I checked yesterday (and today), it just says "no visits for this day". I checked my history. Everything is gone. When I tried to use Google Takeout to get my data, I only get an 18MB JSON file, which is not right, that's very small given my history.

Is this a bug? Is there a way to recover my data? I'm already in the process of moving to Dawarich+OwnTracks so that this doesn't happen again, but I do want my entire 10+ years of data back.

Psychodiagnostic assessment? Price range, recommendations?

Hi. Filipino based abroad here. I have a local therapist who I go to regularly, and he strongly suggests that I take a diagnostic exam for my... whatever it is that I really have. I got an ADHD diagnosis from a neurologist after making me take a TOVA-ish exam.

While I am taking an exam where I live (because it might be useful for social security related things), I'm afraid that some contextual and cultural nuances would be lost. Like, do you hug your friends, regardless of gender, even the ones that aren't close to you? I know I didn't, physical contact is too intimate (at least, it is for me). I don't even hug my close relatives. But I do it here because it's the norm.

So, magkano usually diagnostic exams sa Pinas? How long (time-wise)? I'll be in the PH sa December, kaso 2 weeks lang, and most of it is Christmas/New Year, so I'll need to do it online. Preferably yung available sa gabi (sa inyo) because timezones are stupid lol

fwiw, I have a medical certification from a Filipino psychiatrist, and I have records (in English) of my psychiatric consultations here (been going to the same guy for 3 years).

Triggering animation in ABP from input

I have a one-two-three attack animation that flow from one to another. Looks good on the montage player. I also have a combo variable that keeps track of "is the character attacking right now" and how many times the player mashed the attack button (so that I know that which animation is supposed to play).

The way I used to do it is by attaching a Play Montage node when the attack button is pressed. Probably not the best solution? It probably makes more sense to put this in the ABP but I'm not sure how to trigger an animation from there. I tried blend poses by bool, but it only works once, and it only works with one of the attack animations.

ABP and attack BP: https://imgur.com/a/C8Dn8Ax

Bonus: I want to be able to run while attacking. I got the idle pose + run using layered blend per bone, but I'm stuck after that.

How do you build big levels from scratch?

I'm staring at a plane with lighting on UE. There's walls so that I don't fall off (currently testing walk/run/attack animations), a target I can whack on, some objects I can pick up and put down and throw. Basic stuff.

But on another window (separate project), I'm staring at the full 3D maps of a game that I'm taking inspiration from (Deus Ex 3).

My game's also stealth (but it's third person), and it does come in modular closed components like DX3 (not open world), but I'm thinking floor plans, props, interactable objects, enemy placement, enemy patrol routes, stuff like that, all for the vertical slice. How exactly does one go from the default cube to a world that looks like it's been lived in, a world where people actually move around and do stuff?

I was thinking of hiring someone to do a realistic floor plan (because I know jack shit about architecture), and prop placement I can probably do myself. For enemies, I think UE has a thing for that. Am I on the right track?

(There's also a hub world, but I'll get to that much later.)

Been messing around with DXHR data again. Here's a low-poly Suzanne head bumming around at Sarif's office.

sukekiyo tour 2026 - Tokyo 9/17 sold out after a day?

I'm looking at the ticket purchase website for sukekiyo, I'm able to go to the Tokyo one on Sept 17. It says on the main band's website that general sales start on July 11 (the day before yesterday, basically), and it says that it's sold out already (we checked yesterday)?

That was fast.

Debugging bad splines during construction

I don't want to type out the whole game pitch here (it's long), but let's just say that it's a game where cars and buses roam around the streets. Kinda like Cities: Skylines.

"Bad splines" in my game means that the curve is too tight for long buses.

https://imgur.com/a/PLVj63H

The roads are made using a spline mesh component. The one on the right is fine, the one on the left should be "throwing" an error at the spline points where the curve is too tight. My gut tells me that the answer is related to the tangents of the path at the bad spline points, but I'm not sure where to begin with that.

The errors need to be highlighted during construction (not PIE) because I'll be building a lot of roads for the game and I don't have the patience to load PIE every single time I make a change.

ps: Yes, I tried AI. Claude gave me a long-ass BP function that kept claiming "yes your BP is correct" when I gave it the image of the BP. It was not.

for hire: someone who can make house/office floor plans for my game

what's important to me is that you show me stuff that you've made before, even if it's stuff from class or whereever.

If you have game level design experience, that'd be great, but not required. If you feel ambitious, you can design a space station for me too lol.

But a simple architectural design for a modern house or an office would be extremely useful for me to get going, because I can't seem to find any free ones out there. You don't need to add props, just label the rooms and I'll do the rest.

I'd prefer if you used SweetHome3D (no need for paid version, all you need to add are stairs and doorframes, which are free) so that I don't have to deal with the sizes of the walls and doors, but a simple PDF would do.

ps: The game is just a simple stealth shooter. The twist is that your cameras are locked in place, you and your enemies can destroy literally everything in the level, and that mayhem towards your score. No plot, just pew pew. Yes, you will be credited if/when I finish the game.

price: 500 for a standard 2-floor house, 1000 for an office, more depending on your previous works. if you want to do the space station lmao, let's talk.

[Routine Help] My skin is sticky after I use creams/moisturizers at night. I want to wash it off so it's dry when I go to bed. When can I do that?

Because sticky skin is not conducive to nighttime snuggling.

I use tret + moisturizer in the evening. I can let it stay for ~30 minutes or maybe an hour, but I really want it off when I go to bed.

Android app blockers that don't require accessibility access?

Android developers in a certain country are incredibly stupid and don't allow me to use my app blocker and their app at the same time for "security reasons" because the app blocker uses accessibility. such bs lol

Hence the question. I don't mind paying a one-time fee if I have to.

Pushing changes to github pages, but it doesn't update

Repo is private, but basically, there's a sqlite db there that's read by the rest of the code. I initialized the website with a 26kb sqlite db, it works, and now I was to update it to a 160kb db. But whenever I go to the published website, it keeps giving me the 26kb db. In the repo, the file is the 160kb db.

I already tried ctrl+f5 on the browser, using a different browser, private mode, using a different network, disabling cache on the dev tools, etc.

Any ideas on what's going on here? I can't put the repo public.

XMB launcher for a handheld?

Call me an old-timer. Steam's Big Picture mode is cool and all, but I want the PSP/PS3 XMB back on my ROG Ally.

I'm not asking about retroarch's old XMB interface, I want all my games (Steam, GOG, Epic) to be in there... unless there's a setting I'm missing?

Thanks.
