haven’t played anything multiplayer on pc since… early destiny 2, i don’t have a headset anymore but i do have a ps5 controller and airpods, anyone have much experience using either as a mic on pc?
(yeah this is re: elden ring)
I use airpods connected to discord all the time. My friends (hi friends!) say I sound “okay” but whenever I switch to the wired USB headset of unknown brand they say I sound way better.

There’s a taiko song that starts with what sounds like a football whistle blowing twice followed by three drum beats then repeated three more times then chanting over a longer beat before a long whistle and a mix of whistles and beats. This continues the whole song before there’s an air horn at the end but I can’t find this song anywhere in my YouTube history or my MP3 collection!!! What is it???
anyone have a recommendation for extracting like BASIC code from those old hobbyist magazines w/ OCR that works at all. im not tryna respect the old ways of typing this in by hand. i prefer to walk one way down hill.

the problem with that is a lot of the open source PDF OCR methods that work well for text extraction for indexing purposes tend to do poorly with spacing and indentation and tables, which are going to be critically important to whatever you’re doing

yea the best solution i could find is GitHub - eighttails/ProgramListOCR: OCR suite specialized for printed program listing (BASIC and HEX)
which can be semi-functional but…i simply thought we’d have gotten closer on this one .

the state of the art has barely progressed for a decade since open source OCR got good because layout is so so so much harder to infer than the content itself. weirdly this is the domain where I’d personally done the most AI work in my career until very recently and I don’t really expect it to improve

SF6 question: no matter how much I wanted to like it on paper, I could not make myself get into the world tour mode where you text Ryu and become best friends or whatever. is there other meaningful single player content I should be engaging with? should I give world tour another shot? idk I like this game but not enough to try to compete with randos so mostly I just play versus very occasionally

As someone who played through the entirety of World Tour mode including a significant amount of the free updates to it they add with every dlc character I’m gonna say it’s not worth forcing yourself to like it. It never stops feeling half-baked with systems that barely feel balanced (I remember that a way to build social links with your SF masters was that they would have one or two side quests you can do for them but by the time they would give you those you’d likely have already maxed that relationship) and the main quest many times stopping the story that you might care about in its tracks to send you on long missions to solve the most minor of roadblocks that never stops feeling like padding.
But hey, sometimes an SF1-exclusive character gets a surprising amount of screentime or Ryu tells you about how Ken forced a credit card upon him and handles all his financials or you get a ridiculous looking piece of clothing that clips in a dumb way as you do spinning piledrivers and you pog a bit and keep going a bit longer in hopes something else will happen.
One thing I’m not sure about though that might make World Tour worth to take another look at regardless is that I’m not actually sure how accessible the new content they added with the DLC characters is. Since I only played that stuff after finishing the main story I don’t know how much of the game you have to beat to get to it. While I’m pretty sure the M Bison stuff is post game you might be able to meet the SNK characters almost right away if you’ve just completed the tutorials. If so then you can at least get a concentrated dose fanservice by doing those since they’re usually pretty self contained. Again, you don’t need to own the dlc to access this and can even learn their fighting styles to play around with that way.
And no, only other real single player content is the arcade mode having little challenges (ok, more like little grinds (do a total of 10 perfect parries)) to unlock both new and old Capcom artwork. The Battle Hub sometimes has time limited events where you fight ai boss versions of characters for rewards? Haven’t played in a while now though.

The CSS on my website feels like cargo cult nonsense, sometimes. Can somebody look at these two screenshots and tell me why my navigational links are different sizes?
My main index.html page has links of the size I want:
The content pages have similar navigational links, yet they’re notably smaller:
Am I reducing the size of the text by messing with the borders and padding somehow? What’s going wrong with this?
Honestly, I prefer the content link size on desktop and would prefer the main index sizing for mobile, but I can’t tell that my attempts to make mobile-specific formatting are working, so I’ll switch to the size that works better for both.
I only had time to look at this for a few min but maybe it’s the “font-size: 1.5em” bit reacting differently for some reason, since em is a relative measure of size.

I don’t really know CSS but from looking at the source, index has the sidebar links in div (using the same class as the links on the content page, but that’s then overridden by different classes on the links themselves for some reason) and p tags, whereas the content page sidebar links are not in div or p tags. That could be changing how they display. You’d probably get more consistency if you use the same tag nesting for both pages, instead of having different tag structures on the different pages.
Also you could try using the same class on the sidebar links on both pages, if you want them displaying the same way; I can’t tell from looking at the source why you have them in different classes. Or if you do need them in different classes for some setting or other, try minimizing the settings you’re altering between them as much as possible.

Ah yeah like the sidebar links for January – JANUARY – are the larger size, and are in div and p tags, whereas the sidebar links for December – DECEMBER – are not in div and p tags, and are coming out smaller.
(The scaling difference in those containing tags could be due to using “em” sizing as @OneSecondBefore mentioned, but I don’t know anything about em sizing. ; D)
(I’m an HTML dinosaur who never learned CSS but even I don’t use p tags anymore, they’re just too unpredictable in how they render; I stick to div and br. If I want the spacing behavior of p but without the funkiness–this follows line spacing per the font size I’m using, for instance–I do
<br> </br>I have no idea if that’s “best practices” or whatever but it’s been a lot more reliable. ; D)
(Whoa also the code for it renders in really pretty colors on this forum. ^ _^)

it’s relative to the typeface: the size of an m. same font? same size

they looks pretty similar size-wise to me (comparing the A in JANUARY with PREV DATE, both about 45px)
sometimes a quick screenshot of the page helps
I see the PREV DATE & JANUARY anchor texts have different vertical positions, for the reasons smbhax mentions (different containers)
