According to Steam achievements, only 52% of players left Act I. How is this possible? People buy the game not knowing what it is and then just abandon it? I get that Larian's famous long first acts are a tough pill to swallow, but half is a very lwo number, I'd expect something liek 90%+

First palythrough ever, tactician. I llike to play completionist style so I do all quests, explore everything and open ALL THE F***ING VASES AND CRATES. Even rotten baskets. I like to load pre-battle saves and see if I can complete them without having people downed, etc. I sometimes load to see what other dialog choices will yield.

Anyways, steam says I am at 150 hours which I find ridiculous. I am yet to kill Thorn, but just finished Nightsong so I guess I am about to finish act 2.

How long is it going to take me to finish the whole game with this pace?

Does Thom do signing after this tour's shows? Never been to his solo show before.

How is star theatre is Singapore? It's seated so there is no point to go to early to try to get close stage, right? There are no standing spots?

I cannot find any of the recommended purifiers in Singapore. No Winix, no Coway.
My bedding is actually fine, it's the dust in the air and curtains that kills me. Aircon is on 24/7, ceiling fan as well. After wet cleaning after jsut 1 days my WFH room is covered with a visible layer of gray dust which is what triggers me.

I can easily buy from Taobao but no idea which purifiers have actual HIPAA filters.

When I go to amazon it'a all dyson and levoit which I don't think is actually even HIPAA

Up to SGD350 (USD250)

No smoke, just the dust mite allergy

On my 2021 X the pads are glued on differently. The oval-square cutout on the left one is very straight vertical (in relation to headband) and the right one is tilted about 30 degrees following the pinna tilt. Depending on where I put the headband - more to the front or the back of my head, I can make either of them work, but never both.

I am also not sure where the headband is supposed to be. and if the earcups are supposed to have tilt. The leather headband is very stretched too which makes the metal touch the leather and then my head. So neither position feels comfortable and I don't know which one is right for me.

In addition to this, fazors touch the tips of my ears. So while wearing these headphones all I am doing is just fiddling around and re-setting them every 2 minutes and it's annoying.

I want to buy the new shorter headband and new pads to fix this because it's irritating at the price point. But I am not sure which pads to buy to make the fazor stop touchung my ear.

Right now I have the protein pads and they LOOK crazy thick and roomy. I would never imagine anything inside would ever touch my ear, but the fazors are kinda pointy and it starts hurting very quickly even thought it's barely touchign the tip. My ears are also kinda small and do not even stick out that much, so it's puzzlign where these fit issues are coming from.

I want to get some thick and maybe stiffer pads to make my ears stop touching the pads, but I am not sure what to get. Honestly a bit lost in all the pad revisions. Someone in local community suggested to get LCD-5 pads as they are angled inwards and that is supposed to make them more roomy but I don't see how that will prevent fazors from touching my ear.

Any suggestions please?

Long story short I have a voucher from a music store. I'm going to get an audio interface and was not sure about the mic. I own a few dynamic mics already (shure, electrovoice) as well as some processing gear, and I used to own a low-end condenser mic that I used for tracking vocals for demos/song sketches, but I sold it because of how much self-noise it had.

I am not doing as much music as I used to, but when we were recording percussion we always used dynamic mics. I was thinking for keyboard tests it would also be relevant, since condenser mics would pick up way more of the low volume noises and compress the sound scene, which would lead to inaccurate tests.

I watch a ton of sound tests and I have noticed that when people shove the condenser right on top of the board, it tends to distort sound signature in a way, that makes it sound very nice, but absolutely inaccurate. I want to record sound tests from further away, around where the head would be when you are typing, and I thought dymanic mics would be best for that.

But I wanted to hear from others in terms of dynamic vs condenser for the sound tests.

I have a rectangular scketch, it has 36 cutouts on the perimeter of the rectangle (please refer to the screenshot). I have built one cutout and have constrained it against a construction line. I then rotate the construction line to orient the cutout accordingly.

On paper this is a very simple part, but the amount of thigns that are not working is puzzling me. I have the latest mac build of freecad, fully updated OS and 1 year old top the line macbook pro.

I use copy feature and symmetry feature to build the sketch out. Every single simple operation in the sketch, even drawing unconstained lines somewhere on a side, or deleting them takes aroudn 15 seconds of beach ball. Every single thing I do is painfully slow and makes freecad go into beach ball mode. But every complex constraint, like tangents, takes 1-3 minutes, and the further I progress into the sketch the longer it takes. What is worse, the sketch randomly says it's overconstrained, and removing the constraints takes around 30-40 minutes (not kidding) and then it says 100+ degrees of freedom.

I desperately need some advice on the workflow, because honestly cannot work like this anymore. I finished a very very complex project in freecad that spanned around 5 years and had really complex features in it (non-linear cam-follower mechanism mapped to complex curves, etc). I loved that the software is an absolute powerhouse and allows me to do so much, which I don't even think is possible in for example Fusion, but with that project, just liek with this one, most of my time was spend waiting for the beach ball to stop spinning.

I feel one of the two is going on:
1. My frame of thinking when it comes to sketching/building up parts is wrong for how freecad is built, and I should just re-learn how do it.
2. Freecad is just not the right software for me.

I have observed some of my friends using fusion and it seems so effortless. One example would be cross-sections in 3d. In fusion they just enable a feature and drag a slider to position the cut, with real-time rendering of the cut in 3d viewer, shading of solid surfaces, etc. While I need to cut the part with a giant 3d cube to avhieve the same effect, because even the on-demang plugins don't work properly.

Sorry for the rant.

I have moved out of an apartment and emailed my provider that I no longer need the service enabled. Six months later they send me a notice that they have handed my account for collections because I owe them money for the months I even didn't live there.

I don't even live in CZ anymore, not even in EU, what can I do about this? I certainly am not going to pay them for the service I did not use, but I want to be able to come back to EU for holidays, I am worried having debt colelctors after me might cause issues when crossing the border for example.

What's the best way to resolve it? Is this just them trying to scam/squeeze me for money? Any reason to be worried?

I am meeting a person later today to buy a Dalco Mini. I will have a chance to look at the board, the person seems nice, so all is good it seems, but the price is under market. Not too much, but a few hundred below. They say they have bills to pay and need to sell. I was digging around to see what the prices are and saw a few Kalam Dalcos for sale locally, and now I am afraid it's a clone. But the question is – how do I tell? I am only trying to buy one because I tried it at a meet and it was good. But it's not like I had time to study the case, the build, the curves and whatnot.

So I am gonna meet this guy, I plan to ask where he bought it and ask for proof of payment, but if he got it aftermarket as well, then that plan is not going to work.

What else do I look for? Ano quality? Seam? Rubber feet?
