How do you get better at debate without necessarily doing a debate? - Ani.Social
As in, how do you get better outside of just doing debate, since coordinating
practice takes time with the group and you can’t do it a lot due to time
restraints. That and I don’t think I can do it in a manner frequent enough, and
focused enough. I assume you just do drills with your role? If so, what would be
best? For context, I got accepted as a 1st speaker for a college debate event in
Asian parlament format. Experience wise, I am a beginner. Though I have done
adjudications and had some practice with a newly formed club in the last year of
high school, it was only isolated to that. No competitions with other schools or
anything. Which is why I’m definitely not confident I can match a teammate of
mine which has been doing debate for years and got to international level (to my
knowledge). I’m not so much worried about my opponents per se, more so just that
I don’t want to hold my teammate back since as the 1st speaker, you have to set
them up. I at least wanna do a somewhat decent job so that they can - to be
blunt - “carry” us without worry. Right now, I’ve just been dabbling with using
ChatGPT as a sort of coach/adjudicator and I think it’s pretty effective? If
there are other methods I can do alone/in downtime/outside group practice, I
would like to try them at least given the short time left until the event. Sorry
if this ended up a bit ramble-y, this was done on a whim and close to midnight,
but yeah.

It’s the vertical line that blinks in text boxes and documents when you edit.
Other than that I don’t know much about it.
Laptop keyboard and USB keyboard getting borked

Laptop keyboard and USB keyboard getting borked - AniSocial
My laptop keyboard died a few days ago, which was fine I guess, it has been a
while, but for some reason my membrane USB keyboard is also broken. I don’t know
why but Ctrl, Alt, Windows, f5, and f10 don’t work, with Alt and f10 now binded
to left click. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find: uninstall keyboard
drivers, find manufacturer drivers to reinstall, changing keyboard settings,
creating a new Windows profile to try and see if it was corruption, using
command prompt, using notepad to add a registry… At this point I’m desperate to
the point of using antivirus to see if I got infected by something. So uh, any
help?
How do I get started with game development? (Godot specifically)

How do I get started with game development? (Godot specifically) - AniSocial
Some context: So far all I’ve done has been passively watching game design
analysis type videos as well as Unity implode on itself without really jumping
into gamedev. I only got inspired rather recently to take the dive. I don’t
think I’ll be able to dabble with the engine just yet (busy schedule and all
that), but I want to at least have some rough direction on where to go and
figure the rest out myself. My main concerns are art and programming, mostly
because I have no experience for those. I do have some experience with graphic
design and figma however, so its not like I’m jumping in with no skillset. The
plan I had in my head was: learn UI > create a basic visual novel > create a
basic rpg game > (a few more steps) > “reasonable/realistic to make” dream game.
