  1. IDK about on here, but my one JHS math teacher used to say (jokingly) "oh no, not you again" when I entered the class.
  2. I think this is a Windows thing TBH as the 125% mark seems to break a lot of UI or at least distort it a bit for many apps.
  3. The two things I get the most conscious about when checking BIOS settings! >.<
  4. Yeah, this would have been around the time when we had other paid content as well.
  5. Eh, just consider it 'alternate universe' and call it day 😛
  6. I believe there was a paid transfer option on Live to reduce the server hopping
  7. Yeah, it might be cool to have a global "mute/hide by default" thing
  8. This is the likely solution. Checkout my link for migration to find where to look.
  9. This could be for pets in general, but I've got ONE word for you: CAVES
  10. Gonna just drop this for reference even if it doesn't directly answer the question. The official HC thread is linked by this thread as well, so you only have to look in one place.
  11. I've yet to see any updates. Not even a whisper since the pandemic really hit full force, so it may be a bit until even that hits normality.
  12. Haven't tried a capture card in like...decades, but I'd check things like aiming the input at the right desktop, etc. Back in the day the capture card had to be physically connected to the GPU on the outside, but that may have changed by now.
  13. Nothing has been announced since then as of yet, but keep in mind that this is still an all-volunteer effort and they seem to do real good at not putting out stuff that's broken. Since this is a pretty popular thing that people may want, when it's announced, then it'll be pretty visible.
  14. I saw that scene and was like:
  15. OH, I wonder if setting it to something Really dark would be of any benefit when combined with everything else mentioned?
  16. Yes, this is probably the biggest hurdle of doing so, But if you were to copy the file and edit the copy to change things from say male -> female, then it may work so long as the corresponding pieces actually exist.
  17. Well it Would be a template that you then customize for the individual toon. Straight up clones would be silly. Well, unless you're doing a bunch of Gary's. 😛
  18. Especially if you're doing a themed SG. Then you could even send a copy of the file to other players to play with.
  19. While not one who suffers from more than just sound triggers for migraines when playing (that's what my volume controls are for), I'm more than aware of people that just can't handle everything from certain motions to flashing content. That's why some games/movies/etc will put a warning at the beginning in situations where there's no ability to control such things. Luckily, we have settings as described above (that I actually planned on writing up if it hadn't been) that give you full control over the majority of what could be triggers. Now I don't recall seeing it, but is it possible to perhaps make a GFX mod (would have to cover all powers and be updated over time) to alter what these things look like on the end-user's side? That way, between the settings and the mod, a customizable method would be available.
  20. Don't get me started on Disney and PR...they're all over the place and do some rather stupid things *coughs*Johnny*coughs*. I get Why they may choose to, but still.
  21. It's preferable, but IIRC we're given the equation with all the appropriate Parenthesis. That way we dont' have to also be a mathematician. 😛
  22. At this point, IDK if this whole thing is throwing me due to remembering wrong (or maybe just forgetting a rule) or the fact that I've gone through both American and British based schools (with a hint of French). I'm constantly having trouble deciding between gray/grey for this reason alone and often interchange theater/theatre. X.X What I Distinctly remember from all schooling was that I should Always be careful and show my brackets when intentionally separating things as to indicate when something like 1/2x is really the fraction of 1/(2x) so that when my answers would get checked, that the teacher would know exactly what I meant. I also grew up during the introduction of the calculators mentioned above and always found it odd that teachers of all types specifically asked for certain calculators and was often confused why. It was explained that it was because that's what They were going to use, so as not to have to figure out the keys on one vs another during their explanation. That and the TI calculators had cool mods that they used to present with. So I guess that I can say I was being shown the PEJMDAS as being what to follow growing up and didn't realize it even though I distinctly recall Hearing PEMDAS as the statement? (See note on "maybe I just forgot a rule")
  23. Correct, every definition of PEMDAS I've ever seen states (as I tried to show) that P and E are treated separate, but M/D and A/S are equal once the P&E are resolved. Keeping in mind that you solve Left -> Right.
  24. But, that's NOT how that works... The P in PEMDAS means that you solve the equation inside of the Parentheses BEFORE doing anything else. PEMDAS is actually better written as PE[M/D][A/S] where the brackets mean that they are equal, but performed in left to right priority with the possibility of a reciprocal PE depending on the equation (IE: nested PE). So that means you end up with 6 / 2 * 3, not the nested thing I see just above. The fuzzy part is where you run into "Do I convert the division into a fraction?". Converting it to a fraction gives you the different answer only if the condition far below is true, but once you've completed the Parenthesis, then you're actually left with simple Division and Multiplication. In this case, the Division goes first. Based on the provided equation, you'd get the following: 6 / 2(1+2) 6 / 2(3) 6 / 2 * 3 3 * 3 9 The key here is that anything adjacent to a Parenthesis is implicit Multiplication What's throwing everyone is that at some point or another we were all taught that division can be rewritten as a fraction. With that logic, you get the following: 6 / 2(1+2) 6 -------- 2(1+2) 6 -------- 2(3) 6 -------- 6 1 But in reality, that only works if it were written like this where an additional set of brackets was originally included: 6 / [2(1+2)] I tried to find the rule for this, but IDK what to search for.
