Users express a desire for alternative character appearances and customization options based on concept art that differs from the final game versions.
"I would have loved seeing some snot-nosed conceited brit rocker play him."
"I'd have loved it if they went with that hair instead."
"I wish his samurai shirt had been more visible and he maintained more of a "2020s rockerboy" look"
Users express frustration with unrealistic item placement in game level design, such as shipping containers inside rooms with small doors or heavy machinery in inaccessible locations, which breaks immersion and logic. This discussion stems from a post about misaligned tiles in a game.
"Speaking of level design. One of the things I look for is unrealistic item placement."
"For example, a shipping container in a room with just normal human-sized doors. How did a shipping container get through those doors? Who knows. Some level designer just threw them in there for deco and never once considered if it was logical."
Users are expressing a desire to easily add fitting background music to videos to enhance their comedic effect, specifically mentioning the 'Benny Hill Theme' as a desired example.
"This needs Benny Hill music..."
"Needs more Yakety Sax."
"We need the Benny Hill theme tune adding to this."
"I was not only thinking the same thing, I was hearing the music in my head while watching this."
Users are discussing the challenges of using mindfulness and acceptance techniques to manage anxiety. They are struggling to effectively 'sit with' their feelings, finding that it sometimes amplifies their anxiety rather than alleviating it. The conversation explores various approaches, including the importance of not fighting the feeling, the physical aspects of anxiety, and the need for specific techniques tailored to anxiety.
"But sometimes I can’t do that mental shift and end up stuck in the feels and in an attempt calm myself end up brute forcing iy which absolutely never works and make the anxiety worse."
"For example, the other night I really decided to sit with my anxiety and let it build. About 15 minutes in I was drenched in sweat with a racing heart, breathlessness and a crushing impending doom (and I specifically absolutely dread this one because it's the most intense irrational fear). Basically it triggered an onset of a panic attack, so I had to urgently stop and distract myself."
Users express frustration over the show's failure to effectively differentiate the Numenoreans from the Men of Middle-earth, highlighting specific characteristics and qualities from the source material that were absent or poorly represented in the show.
"No? Literally if we hadn't been told otherwise you'd have no reason to think that Numenor and the Southlands aren't part of the same Kingdom: the rich and developed capital vs the poor outlying farming villages."
"It's genuinely depressing how underwhelming Numenor is given the budget and creative freedom they had."
"To be honest, and I am saying this as a fan of the show, not really. We can see they are at different technological levels but the Numenoreans are supposed to be physically superior to other races."
Users express frustration with the spray nozzle on the Solved Labs SOS Spray, finding it unreliable and affecting the product's usability. The discussion also contrasts it with a competitor's spray bottle, highlighting the impact of packaging on user experience.
"Although their formula was nice but the packaging was the main problem for me"
"But the brand definitely needs to improve the spray."
"I didn’t like the spray bottle, at times it would spray a lot and sometimes hardly anything would come out."
Users express a desire to easily compare the ingredients and effectiveness of different hair serums, brands, and product lines. They find it challenging to discern which products are most suitable for their specific needs.
"Which serums did you like so far for regrowth? Especially between ordinary and minimalist?"
"I might try the be minimalist one or a serum with aminexil after reading this."
"Such an informative post OP! And it's come at the right time as I've been looking at some of these options:)"
Users are discussing the challenges of knowing how much customization is acceptable with USWDS to maintain consistency and accessibility while still allowing for some level of branding or specific design needs.
"In order to be effective, it seems that USWDS is designed to be used largely as-is, with light customization that might be better classified as configuration, so that the consistency and accessibility it provides are preserved. Is that generally true and if so, does it mean that any design services that involve it are somewhat 'watered down' since to use it 'properly' designers need to work within strict constraints?"
"What is an effective way to determine how much customization is 'too much'? For instance, its base typeface is Public Sans. We could replace it, but it introduces a certain subjectivity around what changes preserve the spirit of the system, and which undermine the spirit of it."
Users express frustration with Shopify's new partner login process, citing excessive steps, delays, and a lack of efficiency. The discussion highlights how complex login flows negatively impact user experience, particularly in B2B contexts where multiple account selections are common.
"I have multiple options on both of those screens that I bounce between all the time. It's super useful tbh."
"Basically two logging screens with the authentication code then a confirmation page and then another process screen before your into the partner account. It’s not useful or effecient."
"When it comes to B2B the login process can be very-very difficult, even if you only see the B2C side of things maybe in the background there are screens/flows meant for B2B making the flow seem more complex than needed"
Users are discussing various tools for local web development on Windows, with a common thread of confusion regarding the purpose and differences between these tools, especially for beginners. The discussion highlights the challenge of selecting the right tool given the available options and their complexities.
"Like, why would you need XAMPP or DDEV or whatever as opposed to just writing and storing the frontend HTML and styling and running some backend files?"
"As someone inexperienced looking at this thread, can someone please help explain what all these softwares listed here are...for?"
"Unless I'm misunderstanding what Wordpress is and how it works. Sorry I can't really be much more specific in asking this, but I don't even know enough to know how to ask."
The discussion centers around the challenges web designers face, highlighting that the primary hurdle isn't the design work itself, but rather securing clients and managing marketing efforts. Users share experiences and perspectives on the demanding nature of client acquisition and the impact on their work.
"The bigger challenge is finding clients, which is a whole job on its own."
"Web design skills get you in the door, but business, marketing, and communication are what actually keep the lights on."
"The real grind is client acquisition, building trust, and keeping visibility alive."
"But in reality, that’s only about 30% of the work. The bigger challenge is finding clients, which is a whole job on its own."
"In practice, the business skills often determine success more than pure design ability"
Users are discussing the difficulty of identifying the source of unexplained noises in a home, especially when traditional methods of investigation (visual inspection, landlord checks) fail to provide a clear answer.
"I searched the whole house thinking someone was inside , even called my landlord convinced someone might be in the attic. This has never happened before! He came and checked for animals, there was none. I can’t explain it."
"When animals make noise inside a house its rustling or licking, or scratching. If there was a loud bang caused by an animal it would have spooked the animal more than it spooked you and it would have bolted in fear, yet it stayed silent."
"Omg Thank you!! Because I tried to rationalize and think it was animals , but it did and does sound like footsteps to me ! So eerie because it goes through the whole house. My landlord came and did a thorough check of the house inside and out and found absolutely nothing which was even more strange, no animal drops, no way inside. He even climbed on the roof!"
"The first of the two recordings resembles footsteps from a floor above you. But the second recording sounds as if it came from the floor you're on."
Users express a desire for the ability to view dual subtitles (both the original language and a translation) simultaneously while watching videos, especially for language learning.
"Mind-blowing that general TV and streaming doesn't have an option for two subtitles at the same time."
Users are identifying inaccuracies and errors within a shared Anki deck, and expressing a need for a better way to collaboratively correct and validate the content. The current method of using a shared spreadsheet is seen as inadequate and the users express a desire for a more streamlined and reliable process.
"So it’s full of mistakes and you want us to update your spreadsheet."
"I think I’d rather trust her pre-fact checked list before learning your mistakes but good luck."
"This looks like a really useful resource - I have already noticed a few inaccuracies though, after just reviewing \~40 cards so that is making me think that it needs a human expert to do a bit of fact checking on it."
"Details matter, accuracy is more important than anything for new learners."
Users are struggling to determine the most common German words for 'wallet' due to significant regional variations. They are looking for a way to understand which words are used where, and how frequently.
"Which word is more commonly used varies regionally."
"that depends on region"
"It depends on where you are."
"I can't figure out which ones are the most commonly used"
Users express challenges in maximizing the effectiveness of the Anki flashcard system for vocabulary learning, specifically regarding the optimal settings and usage.
"New cards/day 30 Maximum reviews/day 9999 display order New/review order - show after reviews Interday learning/review order - show before reviews FSRS - Desired retention 85%"
"you can set the number of new cards per day to 30. then after u finish with those 30 there will be an option for custom study, use the "Increase todays new card limit by ..... cards" feature. You can add another 30. Finish those, then add more 30, until u are satisfied."
"Thanks for the outline. I just downloaded anki and the deck you recommended. Any chance you can explain how to use it best? It's just giving me a random selection of 20 cards."
Users are asking the original poster what app they are using to track dividends, and also mention using different apps. This indicates a potential pain point in finding a good dividend tracking app.
"Ho usato un app americano , fa cacare quindi getquin ma occhio a non pagare"
"What is the app?"
"Che applicazione è?"
"Quale app usi ?"
"App name?"
"What app?"
Users expressed frustration with the need to constantly monitor ULTY's market price and the erosion of the Net Asset Value (NAV), making it a time-consuming and potentially stressful investment. This led to users taking losses to exit their positions due to the constant monitoring.
"I was checking it way too often, and those overnight dumps on Robinhood made me not like it at all."
"I purchased $250k worth of ULTY as an experiment back in early July. Loved the weekly money payout but didn’t enjoy the NAV erosion. Had to constantly keep an eye on the market price and finally decided to take a small loss to exit this position. Not worth my time nor money."
Users are discussing various dividend-paying ETFs and investment strategies. A recurring challenge is the ability to easily identify ETFs with specific characteristics such as high yields, tax advantages, and low NAV erosion, and compare them effectively.
"Qualified and 10%+? Which ones?"
"Which one are stable without nav erosion please? Thx a lot"
"Apart from JEPI, which other EFTs return around 8%?"
Users express frustration with the subreddit's lack of effective moderation, leading to the prevalence of certain topics (e.g., ULTY) and a perceived dilution of the core focus (dividend growth investing). They desire better mechanisms to filter content and ensure relevance.
"maybe a better approach is create specific flair for these types of funds and automatically flag it by bot?"
"Secondly, I come to this subreddit to look for unique stocks to add to my collection, not to see the same cultists posting their Yieldmax portfolio hour by hour."
"I want nothing to do with high yield trap etfs. I appreciate your comment. I too want to learn about good dividend stocks, reliable dividend ETFs, etc… in short I come here to learn about dividend investing from people that know more than me. When I see comments or content about yield max, I don’t put any credibility in them."
Users are asking about the apps used to track dividends and portfolio performance, indicating a need for tools to easily monitor these aspects of their investments.
"What app is that?"
"1st pic is stock events, 2nd pic is divtracker!"
"What app or website is this?"
"I’m curious what app is this called? That you use to track dividends"
"What app/platform is that?"
Users are discussing various ETFs for monthly income generation. The conversation highlights the need for easier methods to compare different ETFs, understand their performance, and assess their suitability for individual investment strategies. This includes comparing tax efficiency, dividend yields, long-term stability, and risk profiles.
"For a better gauge, compare QQQI against JEPQ & GPIQ, and make another post similar to thjs one"
"Anyone know if GPIQ is as tax efficient as QQQI? Wondering if it would make sense to use one in a regular account and the other in a retirement account"
Users express frustration with the inability to easily determine the stock of specific yarn products at local Michael's stores. They desire a way to check inventory online or via an app to avoid wasted trips.
"I wish they could at least show in the app which stores have stock."
"If you call the store to ask, they more often than not will **not** go take a gander for you."
"If I can’t order it online, at least don’t make me waste time and gas on searching for it."
Users are discussing the high cost of US-made wool and the limited options for affordable, non-rustic yarn suitable for sensitive skin. This discussion stems from a broader conversation about tariffs and the sourcing of yarn.
"I find that it is quite expensive to get a sweater quantity."
"Some of the popular brands are too rustic for my sensitive skin like brown sheep. So I’m still searching for affordable and also not too rustic options."
Users are discussing strategies for finding good deals on yarn at thrift stores, including the challenges of assessing yarn quality and value due to tangling, partial skeins, and unknown brands.
"I don’t know why my goodwill stores price all the same. A big bag of partial red heart is priced the same as a big bag of hand dyed merino, even if the merino still has all its original price labels on them."
"Bigger issue is that the majority of the stuff in the bag is partials, and somehow they’ve become all tangled up in each other. I don’t think they’re really worth the time and work it’d take to wash them all, and if I’m not the one doing the washing, I’m not sure anyone would want to buy it or even take it for free 😅."
Users express dissatisfaction with the merging of Disney+ and Hulu content, leading to difficulties in finding desired content due to mixed recommendations and irrelevant content displayed on the homepage. They want a way to filter or separate the content for easier browsing.
"My For You suggestions also include Hulu stuff I’m not here for right now. I just want to be able to look at Disney when I want Disney."
"When I want to watch Hulu, I use the Hulu app. When I want to watch Disney, I use the Disney app. It’s frustrating wanting to “channel surf” Disney content but I have to scroll through SO MUCH Hulu stuff as well."
"I agree! I recently opened the app and one of the first things that popped up was a true crime series about a serial killer... on Disney+ while I'm trying to find something Disney to watch."
"If I’m here for Toy Story, I shouldn’t have Shogun as my top recommendation. And vice versa."
Users express frustration with the limited availability of older, lesser-known, or 'forgotten' movies on Disney+ and other streaming services, and the lack of a dedicated platform for these types of films.
"Why is Make Mine Music not on there?"
"This is Disney. They have the rights to so many films, so why are so many just not on Disney Plus."
"Where are all the forgotten live-action Disney movies?"
Users express frustration about the censorship and removal of information related to a shooting, particularly on platforms like Reddit and YouTube. They are concerned about narratives being suppressed and the difficulty of accessing and discussing the facts of the event.
"It’ll be buried but the gun control crap won’t"
"YouTube’s pulled down the manifesto and Reddit is removing posts that identify the dude as they’re being reported"
Users express frustration with the inaccurate or misleading messaging from public figures, specifically related to the language used by Donald Trump when describing the Executive Order (EO) on flag burning, and the impact it has on public perception and political discourse.
"100% agree, the actual EO is ok, but its his damn messaging, is he doing it on purpose to bait the other side? He just seems like his own worst enemy often times."
"However, Pres Trump's own messaging did not correctly describe the EO. It's his messaging that causes so much damage."
"Pres Trump's own words did not accurately reflect the language in the EO. It's his damn messaging that causes so much damage."
Users express frustration with the repetitive nature of the game loop, the lack of meaningful progression, and the inability to 'skip' or break free from the cycle. This is seen through the eyes of the character trapped in the loop.
"“Please leave. This is your 56th time. If you kill me again, you'll just end up back at the entrance and begin another loop.”"
"“hell sucks. i wish whoever was in charge of this stuff could let us skip past all this or something.”"
"They kill me, are teleported back to the entrance, with memories wiped."
Users may find it difficult to quickly locate the specific content or information they are looking for within the extensive and diverse content on Reddit. The current system relies heavily on manual searching, scrolling, and filtering, which can be time-consuming and inefficient.
"I wonder if the protagonist's true vengeance contains a built-in meta-vengeance against those fake "vengeances", it being a legitimate one; and whether the intent to inflict vengeance for the sake of the Nemesis herself could multiply the resulting power."
"Edit: I promise it's very clear in my head, but not sure if I managed to convey the idea properly..."
Users discussing the challenges of tracking workouts across different gyms and identifying similar equipment.
"Every time I travel I waste 30 minutes figuring out the equivalent machines"
"I wish there was an app that could tell me what machines are similar between different gym chains"
Users are discussing the writing prompts and the challenges of writing, with no specific tools or software mentioned. The primary frustration is the time-consuming nature of writing and the difficulties in organizing ideas.
"Now I want to hear the tale of the rat summoning girl :)"
"I wonder if Aimes is willing to sabotage her side from within rather than let children die."
Users discuss the emotional challenges faced by an immortal being after their mortal partner dies, highlighting the pain of loneliness, the weight of memories, and the difficulty of moving forward.
"I wanted you to ascend because I didn't want to be alone anymore. I wasn't... maybe I was thinking of you, but I wasn't thinking *about* you. How desperately lonely it feels to be this way."
"How can...how can I live without her?"
Users discuss gaining and utilizing administrative access to doomsday bunkers, highlighting the potential for a software solution to manage access, resources, and user experiences within these bunkers during an apocalyptic event.
"It was routine practice for me to leave a backdoor in the code for the central controls for these bunkers so the company could make updates or help with fixes remotely if necessary, this is also how I knew all the locations and had the access that I used now."
"My admin priviledges allow me to manipulate any and all aspects of the inhabitants' experience in their bunkers."
Users are expressing frustration with the time-consuming and often difficult process of finding a specific individual or location, particularly in the context of magical or supernatural quests. This includes the challenges of navigating unknown territories, and asking for directions.
"Centuries after your bloodline was cursed, you finally tracked down the witch who had cast it, which involved an inconvenient amount of walking, asking for directions in five different languages, and narrowly avoiding being turned into a slightly damp turnip on two occasions."
"I've always wanted to travel to the Emerald Isle of my ancestry, but having to sneak around modern recreation areas to find the witch that cursed my family was not easy, especially in the daytime."
Users are frustrated with the inability to easily skip unwanted scenes in reality TV shows, such as therapy sessions, sex scenes, and scenes with children, and wish for a better way to navigate content.
"Here are some things I’ll ALWAYS fast forward through"
"I really don’t like the parents with their kids. It’s so awkward and fake. Leave the children out of this nonsense."
"My player glitched and I had to see the Whitney and Justin sex paint scene three times in a row and I haven't been the same since"
The original poster (OP) is struggling with the time commitment of code reviews, especially with junior engineers needing more supervision, and the company's inability to hire more staff. This leads to long hours and a desire to automate parts of the review process.
"Managing 8 engineers, jrs who obviously need extra help and supervision, PRs that need to fulfill the required quality and little time to do everything is getting to a point where I told the core team that we needed extra hands on this but they can't pay for it yet."
"I end up working 12+ hours a day up until midnight to try to catch up and get everything done but dude this doesn't worth my sanity no more."
Users are frustrated with the lack of transparency and effectiveness in tracking progress in Agile environments, particularly with Scrum ceremonies. Standups are criticized for being unproductive status meetings. Sprints are described as being thrown off at random, and 'definition of done' being nebulous.
"Retrospectives? Usually skipped when “things got busy,” which ironically was when we needed them most."
"Another treated sprint planning as a wish-list exercise and then blamed engineers when half of it wasn’t done."
"One team I was part of ran standups that turned into 45-minute problem-solving sessions with no outcomes -we’d leave more drained than aligned."
The discussion centers around the value of Scrum Masters and the effectiveness of Agile ceremonies. Many users express frustrations with stand-ups and other meetings, particularly when they feel unproductive or overly ritualistic. This impacts productivity, and the user's time is often taken up by ceremonies.
"Why are so many companies obsessed with daily stand-ups as a ritual, regardless of whether they add value? At a previous place, we had 45-minute “stand-ups” every single day with 8 people, mostly devs without a Scrum Master role in place. Everyone was blocked, waiting around, repeating the same updates week after week. Was that really agile? Or just a ceremony for the sake of ceremony?"
"If the main contribution of a role is to enforce ceremonies that slow the team down, then it’s hard for me to see it as adding value."
Users express frustration with the varying and often incorrect implementations of Agile methodologies across different companies. There's a lack of standardization and a disconnect between the theoretical understanding of Agile and its practical application. Many companies use Agile in name only, leading to inefficiencies and confusion.
"No two companies mean the same thing and almost none of them mean *actual* agile."
"When you join, the team skips retros entirely. When I was still a novice at job interviews, I always practiced with interview assistant to polish my “agile” explanations for interviews, only to realize I wasn’t being tested on reality and I was being tested on *the buzzword version*."
The user expresses frustration with the time-consuming setup process for rapid prototyping, including configuring linting, databases, UI frameworks, and other tools. This slows down the initial development phase.
"One thing I hate is how long it takes to setup all the tools ahead of time. Linting, databases, UI framework, tailwind, copy settings from another app, etc, etc. It takes a long time."
Users express difficulties in understanding the new signals library due to a lack of comprehensive documentation, hindering their ability to grasp concepts and effectively use the library.
"More code documentation can be helpful. It's a little bit hard to understand signal link, signal impl, signal auto map, etc. I don't immediately understand the purpose of the abstraction and would have to understand how it's all connected before I can start understanding each piece."
"Oh... The documentation obviously needs to be optimized: a `signal.get()` triggers dependency tracking of the effects, a read access with `signal.value` or `value(signal)` does not."
Users express the need for features like starter templates and in-app live preview to make the application more accessible to non-developers for quicker wallpaper creation and feedback.
"One suggestion: add one-click starter templates nd an in-app live preview so non-devs can make something quickly and give feedback."
Users are discussing the difficulty of finding and tracking wildlife to capture unique photographs. This involves knowing where animals live, eat, and perform specific actions to capture them in a unique setting. This information is often difficult to obtain.
"Where I live, I can tell you the specific trees, hides, river banks, etc. where animals live/eat/whatever. So if I'm looking for a bird catching a certain kind of fish, I already know when I should go to what place."
"1-Finding the animal, 2-observing the animal (over several days, you don't have to watch one animal the whole day), 3- waiting for the animal at a spot where you know it will appear and is likely to perform a certain action"
"You will definitely find special moments by just wandering around and keeping your eyes open. But if you have something specific in mind, you should probably find a 'spot'."
Users are discussing the challenges of capturing both a well-exposed foreground (buildings, landscapes) and a detailed Milky Way in a single photo. They highlight the need for compositing multiple exposures to achieve the desired result, leading to a desire for simpler methods.
"If you are trying to capture the MW with a well lit object in frame you will have to exposure blend."
"Any tips on how to not blow out the tower and buildings for next time? Would I just do a normal exposure for the tower / buildings after my long exposure (of the Milky Way) then layer it on top of the overexposed buildings? Thanks."
"Milky way photos with the correct foreground exposure and the correct milky way exposure are almost always multiple photos"
Users are discussing the optimal focal length for photographing a distant subject and the factors affecting image quality. The conversation highlights a need for a tool to calculate and visualize the field of view based on distance, subject size, and lens specifications.
"Photo Pills and Planit Pro are great for this type of planning"
"The question is meaningless as you do not specify the subject size. It is like asking "How far can I walk?" without specifying the time available."
"You can put in your location, the subject, camera and lens. It will show you the field of view. You can experiment with different positions if you only have the one lens or you can change focal length."
Users are struggling with the subjective nature of photographic terms like "low-key" and seeking a more concrete understanding. This lack of clarity leads to confusion and difficulty in applying these concepts, especially when participating in challenges or competitions where definitions are critical.
"Really, the rules of the competition should clarify subjective terminology like this."
"Everyone's definition for 'low key' is different. I always thought 'low key' meant the background is darker than the subject."
Users express frustration with the prevalence of mediocre street photography content and the difficulty in finding and recognizing compelling, high-quality images.
"There’s a LOT of mediocre street content."
"So many Youtubers and Instagram photographers think street photography is just walking on the street and taking a random photo. Sooo boring"
Users express frustration and confusion about how the character Revali is presented due to differences in the original Japanese dialogue and the English localization, specifically regarding his perceived arrogance and dismissiveness of Link.
"In the original Japanese dialogue, at the end of Medoh Revali is more accepting of Link and Says that It's His (Revalis) loss and that is basically a way of him recognizing links ability and basically setting aside his ego."
"I hate that the localization changed so much of the dialogue."
"The Localization just has him go ''Oh, I was wrong about how lucky he would be'' As if making it sound like Revali just says that Link is only that good because of luck, Instead of actually making him recognize link as a person."
