2024.05.14 19:59 Inciter_of_vibe Cyberpunk 2077 Analog Movement with Wooting Keyboard Guide, Updated for Patch 2.12

Cyberpunk 2077 Analog Movement with Wooting Keyboard Guide, Updated for Patch 2.12
Hi all, this is a guide on setting up analog walking and driving for Cyberpunk 2077 with the analog capability in a Wooting Keyboard (or other analog-capable keyboard depending on if you can replicate the advanced key setup). As the Wooting Keyboard allows you to "spoof" controller inputs due to the analog nature of its magnetic switches, you can setup many games to allow you to moderate your speed based on how far down you press the key, rather than simply being binary like "walk" or "don't walk".
This guide serves as an update to the original written here, because the original was written 3 years ago and has outdated mappings/keybindings, and the author had since had their account deleted. Additionally, the original sets up the movement for walking and driving both on one joystick, instead of two, and this is an issue as explained below:

Why two joysticks?

It is much easier to setup the movement for walking and driving to only use the left joystick, but there is a downside. If you are driving a vehicle, and you accelerate (Right Trigger via the W key), and try to turn left or right at the same time (left joystick left / right via the A / D key), you will find that you will only be able to make very wide turns, despite pressing the A / D key to the maximum. This is because, due to the setup for walking, the W key not only activates Right Trigger as needed for vehicle acceleration, but also moves the left joystick up so that you can walk forward.
This means that you unintentionally move the left joystick up as you accelerate, which limits how much the left joystick is able to move left or right, as its range is confined to a circle.
The first pictures show the wheel and left joystick when you only press the W key (aka accelerate)

The second pictures show the wheel and left joystick when you press both the W and D key (aka accelerate + turn right)
https://preview.redd.it/308u0ssrjc0d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=859bc063a25b3d855942869a12d47784bc0104b4

The third pictures show the wheel and left joystick when you only press the D key (aka turn right)
https://preview.redd.it/tuts145tjc0d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=40b2acb3d378877d8db0cf4a4497138641bc8ede

The fix for this that I found, as the gamepad tester screenshots imply, is to set the steering control to the right joystick instead of the left joystick, and leave the left joystick solely for walking. This is done specifically by setting the "LeftX_Axis_Vehicle" mapping/keybind to use the "IK_Pad_RightAxisX" controller input instead of "IK_Pad_LeftAxisX".
This setup assumes that you will use the analog controls for walking and driving (+ a few minor things like extra photo-mode control) and regular keyboard input for everything else, preserving the use of the regular WASD keys.

WOOTING / KEYBOARD SETUP:

First, in the main Wootility settings, enable the Xbox Controller:

Make a new profile dedicated to this game, then setup the following advanced keys in the "Advanced Keys" section:

Then make sure the settings are set like this in the "Gamepad Mapping" section:
You may change the curve in "Analog Curve" but I cannot recommend a specific curve to follow

CYBERPUNK SETUP:

This is for Steam, if you are on GOG or another platform you will need to figure these steps out on our own
Right click on the game in your steam library, hover over "Manage" and click on "Browse local files" to open the game's directory folder:
https://preview.redd.it/w0ix7bsifc0d1.png?width=453&format=png&auto=webp&s=40e120093a070754950eb7ec21f533264cfb8c35
While you're here, also make sure steam input is enabled for Cyberpunk 2077, by instead clicking on "Properties..." and going to the following setting:
https://preview.redd.it/vba3g3skfc0d1.png?width=841&format=png&auto=webp&s=a82dd3b00de676051a8cf76bd99ed35659041965
Once you're in the "Cyberpunk 2077" folder, open the "r6" folder, then open "config", then either replace the inputUserMappings.xml file with the one provided or open it with a text editor and make the changes listed below.
https://preview.redd.it/uem2uzhmfc0d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=dbace736409f32d90d297ff5e1de888a01106f8d

Here is a backup of the original file if you messed up or wish to undo these changes (or you can delete the file from the game folder and verify integrity of game files thru steam): https://pastebin.com/cpFyp39k

CONCLUSION:

That is all that is to it! While the original guide said to change the keybinds for walking / driving to something other than the WASD keys ingame, this seems to be unnecessary as the setup still works despite not changing them.
Issues:
  1. WASD (aka left joystick) still moves the cursor in the game settings / inventory, I found that none of the mappings control it. Only an issue if for instance you liked to use A and D to navigate submenus, etc.
  2. The game will rapidly switch between displaying keyboard icons and controller icons on your HUD, as of course it is detecting both keyboard and controller inputs at the same time. Wish there was a fix for this but I have not found any
Note: This mappings setup may become invalid (like in the original guide) if an update changes everything again, but I bet that will not be the case since the game has probably already received most of the updates it was going to get
Thanks for reading, let me know of any suggestions or issues

Genetic (probably) dark circles/puffy eyes.
Hey everyone, 35M here
So, I've recently become more aware of my dark circles and puffy eyes, and it's been a bit of a downer. Initially, I chalked it up to lack of sleep—I typically get around 6-7 hours a night, which has been my norm for as long as I can remember. But despite my efforts, like upping my water intake, dabbling with cold compresses, and even religiously applying a vitamin C cream under my eyes for almost two months now, I haven't seen much improvement.
What's really got me bummed is that upon scrutinizing some older photos of mine, it seems this "condition" has been lurking in the background for a while, and I just never paid much attention to it until now. It's starting to take a toll on my self-confidence, especially since I constantly feel like I look tired, to the point where I find myself editing photos before I'm comfortable sharing them online.
I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have. What steps should I take before considering more serious treatments or procedures? Any tried-and-tested remedies or lifestyle changes you swear by? Thanks in advance for your help.
Here's a photo for reference.
Thanks again!

2024.05.14 19:59 BenitoLJSuarez Scotch Bonnet growth question

Scotch Bonnet growth question
Scotch bonnet growth question
This is my third year growing chillies on my South-facing kitchen windowsill. I’ve had a lot of success as it gets lots of light and warmth and have had great harvests from Apache, Fresno and Basket of Fire plants in previous years.
It’s my first attempt at growing Scotch Bonnet this year and I’m not sure it’s going so well.
The plant is growing straight up, with no ‘spread’, side shoots or flowers so far (see picture) while the Apache and Fresno plants either side of it seem to be flourishing.
I’ve read that this might indicate not enough light, but that seems odd as the other plants are fine and have been in previous years.
I’m wondering if Scotch Bonnet plants need more (ore more consistent) light than other varieties, or if this growth is normal and the spread and flowers come in later.
Any advice very welcome!
I’ve also noticed quite a few aphids on this one plant, so any tips for getting rid of them (and preventing them from coming back or, for future years, from arriving in the first place) also gratefully received!
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.14 19:58 UnifiedQuantumField The Physics of Consciousness

tldr; If We live inside a box, the only way to understand it is to think outside the box.
If consciousness is a non-physical property, what does Physics have to do with anything?
As another user mentioned recently "I am conscious, I am part of the Universe, therefore the Universe is conscious."
So what's the physical part of the Universe?
Spacetime. And we exist as conscious beings in physical bodies that are made up of Matter. That Matter is "anchored" to Spacetime.
We also know that particles of Matter are essentially equivalent to Energy. And we believe that everything started out as Energy.
So it's safe to say that Energy "pre-dates" Matter. It's also plausible to state that Energy caused Matter... and not the other way around.
So then comes the Big Question that seldom gets asked by Materialists (even though it's a perfectly valid question). Is there more to the Universe than just Spacetime?
The Big Bang Theory states that, before Spacetime, there was almost infinite Energy in a singularity. So you've got something (Energy) and there's no Spacetime because a singularity is a dimensionless point.
And then, as we are told, the Universe "unfolded" from the singularity. And from that point onward, there was Spacetime, Light and Matter.
So if there's something that existed before Spacetime, that suggests there's something (dimensionless) that can exist outside of Spacetime. In fact, when you're talking about Spacetime, saying something existed before is the same as saying outside.
And if Consciousness is one of those things?
Then that's your Idealist model explained in the terms favoured by Physicists.
For the Math people.
E = MC2
Before there was M or C2 , there was only E.

2024.05.14 19:58 Global-Elite-Spartan I think my girlfriend 19F might be emotionally abusing me 20M

I 20m have been with my 19F girlfriend for a little over 2 years. We've lived together for about a year now. I work 30+ hours a week and my GF 40+ hours week.
For context me an my girlfriend have always had a rocky relationship. In the beginning it would be small things like me falling asleep on call at 2AM when she was talking about something she liked. Me being late for stuff or just plain braking promises I shouldn't have made because I knew I properly wouldn't be able to live up to them. For the first year we would have 2 good weeks and then a bad week because I messed up by falling asleep, being late, buying the wrong fries/burger, not calling early enough among other things. I had a hard time apologising in the beginning, but learned how to do it after hard work. Whenever we would get in an argument I would apologise immediately and tell her how sorry I was. I understood I had made a mistake that hurt her and I should be better. I started seeing a mentor at school to work on why I had such a hard time keeping promises and breaking them. After a few sessions the mentor flat out told me I shouldn't be with my girlfriend and called it "emotional terror" on her behalf. I talked with my girlfriend about what I had discussed with my mentor. My GF told me that what I was telling wasn't the whole truth so of course that was the response I was getting from the mentor. I agreed and everytime I went to see the mentor I would also defend my GF in every scenario we talked about.
Cut to some time later where this cycle of 2 good weeks 1 bad week had continued and we had moved in together. She worked a lot and I tried my best to handle all the cooking, cleaning laundry while working my own job and my other hobbies. I started feeling really drained and began to slip on my chores. During this time my GF would also work a lot more (around 65-75 hours a week) primarily cleaning at night. She would get paranoid around 02:30 to 03:30 so I would drive to her work and sit in my car. Some times for more than 5 hours just so she had me close(for the record it was a brand new top of the line car warehouse(picture lambos, Ferrari and such) so she was safe).
When I finished school it's tradition to party in a truck with your classmates and so of course I did. We drove around for 10 hours and with me being drunk I didn't text my GF at all. We drove for 2 days and on the last day I had arranged with her to meet me at a bar so we could celebrate my graduation together. I ditched my classmates to go see her and when I met up with her she wasn't happy at all. Long story short she was mad I hadn't texted her and it ended up in me following her home apologising and crying until I feel over and had to be driven home by a stranger. I still regret not celebrating my graduation more than what I did.
I talked with one of my coworkers about all of this and more like me seeing a therapist to work on the problems from earlier, driving spending hours on hours waiting for her to finish school and work. Her having full access to my so she could check it whenever she wanted and I wasn't allowed to see hers (I've never really suspected cheating. One time I spent my lunch break at work to drive home and make sure she got up and drove her to work because she got up too late and didn't answer my calls. Anyway my coworker said the same the mentor said and this time I made damn sure to tell the whole story and showed proof so I could get straight answers. He suggested she might be a narcissist. I ended up spending a night at his place where she spammed my phone with calls and messages which I didn't respond to per his advice. He along with every else I have talked with has suggested I should break up with her, but I just love her much. I eventually went home to her and talked with her. She said she was sorry about everything and would be more forgiving of me making small mistakes like buying the wrong fries or not having done the dishes. It's been 4 months since that happened. I talked with my long time friend about it and he told me the same. He had just come out of a 2 year relationship at that point so he knows how hard it is. He suggested I set a date in my head where if things haven't gotten better by that date I should end it. So I did. The date came and went and I couldn't make a decision. Some things had gotten better, but some didn't. I still do all the chores except laundry. She works less so she's taken that. I couldn't bring myself to make a decision by the date so I just didn't. I haven't kept her up to her promises to me since I have forgotten what they were. My memory hasn't always been as bad as it is now though.
Anyway that bring us to today. She asked me to wake her up at 11:00 am today. I'm home with a bad ankle sprain (trying to find transport to see a doctor) and she took a day off from school. I woke her up at 11:00, 11:02, 11:05, 11:07.... I tried to wake her for 15 minutes, shaking her and talking to her, but she would get up. If I could get a lift by 11:25 I could see the doctor today (I didn't) so I after she only woke up a little bit at went back to sleep I gave up. I tried again at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, but she just wouldn't wake up more than a quick second. She woke up now at 18:30 being really mad at me for not waking her up. I tried to tell her that I did my best at waking her, but she just wouldn't get up. She wasn't having it a told me it was my fault she didn't get up and missed her own doctors appointment which I had no idea about. It apparently was a meeting to get a new prescription for her ADHD medication which she needs this week. She noticed she was running low last week so I don't understand why she waited until now since she also had Wednesday to Friday off last week. I don't think it's my fault she didn't get up as I told her I'd try to get her up and she "knows I'll disappoint her". She's said this a lot in the past and did today.
I know I wrote a lot, but I feel like I'm going crazy some days. I know I'm far from perfect, but I can't be that bad. I wish I could have followed her when said she was leaving 45 minutes ago to "go somewhere not here", but since I can barely walk I didn't follow her.
I just want to know if I'm as bad as she says. What should I do? I do truly love her and want to be with her, but some days it seems like a big mistake.
Tl;dr I have made mistakes which friends, family and professionals have told me isn't my fault and I'm being abused, but I fear I explained things so poorly they're not giving me real/biased answers/advice in the situations me and my GF have been in.
I'm really emotional right now so let me know if I did anything wrong or just have questions.

2024.05.14 19:58 Alluriann Fear of flying starting to disrupt my life

Hey all,
Even though I’m a frequent flyer and never allowed my fear to disrupt any plans or wishes, I’m starting to get so unreasonably afraid of flying lately that I’m afraid it might affect my plans very soon. It has always been a fear of mine but it’s growing recently.
To give a bit of background, I abhor turbulence and especially a possible sudden drop mid-sky during cruising. It happened to me a few times and it’s so frightening it got me literally screaming for life before. I’m writing this in a flight from MRS to AMS where a massive weather system was on the way, looking like a hurricane on the map. The takeoff inside the clouds was terrifying.
I live in the Netherlands and the weather is often horrible, with shear wind, endless cloudy skies, where I can’t see anything! I also often travel to South America which is bumpy like crazy.
That said, I have a few questions / beliefs that, if someone can weigh in, would help me a lot in coping with this debilitating fear!
  1. Assuming there are thousands of flights all the time in Europe, I expect that, within Europe, there’s so much feedback between pilots / airports that the chance of sudden unexpected turbulences are lower. Is that true?
  2. Is there any chance the pilot may turn on the breaks mid-flight by mistake, forcing a fatal nosedive?
  3. Pilots love to do everything at the same time when landing. Instead of turning, then opening flaps, then doing another turn, they like to do it all at once. Im dying seeing the land so close to me while everything is shaking when the plane extends the wings. How dangerous is it? Isnt it better to do one thing at a time? Sometimes they add cloud + turbulence to the mix to my misery.
  4. How likely it is that a cumulus nimbus will randomly form in front of me suddenly, to the point the pilot unavoidably enter it?
  5. The sounds of the plane, to me, are completely random. Sometimes it sounds like the engine is full on for 5s for no reason, sometimes it sounds like the pilot is using the brakes mid-air. How often do they mistakenly press these things they shouldnt?
  6. I try to gaze directly into the eyes of the flight attendants in moments of difficulty, but they are way too good at hiding their fear. Are they ever afraid of anything? Not even in a severe turbulence?
Thanks for your input!!

2024.05.14 19:58 ArkOfTheCube Nukes are a hoax. Don’t let decades of Illuminati programming fool you

Nukes are a hoax. Don’t let decades of Illuminati programming fool you
The following documentary explores the surprisingly abundant evidence that nuclear weapons are a hoax.
https://www.nytimes.com/1945/11/03/archives/seversky-limits-atom-bomb-power-likens-hiroshima-blow-to-one-by-200.html
This man actually analysed the city of Hiroshima after the act and testified the following:
"In Hiroshima I was prepared for radically different sights. But, to my surprise, Hiroshima looked exactly like all the other burned-out cities in Japan. There was a familiar pink blot, about two miles in diameter. It was dotted with charred trees and telephone poles. Only one of the cities twenty bridges was down. Hiroshima’s clusters of modern buildings in the downtown section stood upright.
It was obvious that the blast could not have been so powerful as we had been led to believe. It was extensive blast rather than intensive.
I had heard of buildings instantly consumed by unprecedented heat. Yet here I saw the buildings structurally intact, and what is more, topped by undamaged flag poles, lightning rods, painted railings, air raid precaution signs and other comparatively fragile objects.
At the T-bridge, the aiming point for the atomic bomb, I looked for the “bald spot” where everything presumably had been vaporized in the twinkling of an eye. It wasn’t there or anywhere else. I could find no traces of unusual phenomena.
What I did see was in substance a replica of Yokohama or Osaka, or the Tokyo suburbs – the familiar residue of an area of wood and brick houses razed by uncontrollable fire. Everywhere I saw the trunks of charred and leafless trees, burned and unburned chunks of wood. The fire had been intense enough to bend and twist steel girders and to melt glass until it ran like lava – just as in other Japanese cities.
The concrete buildings nearest to the centre of explosion, some only a few blocks from the heart of the atom blast, showed no structural damage. Even cornices, canopies and delicate exterior decorations were intact. Window glass was shattered, of course, but single-panel frames held firm; only window frames of two or more panels were bent and buckled. The blast impact therefore could not have been unusual."
Additionally:
https://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/01/us/hiroshima-study-finds-no-genetic-damage.html
This study was never published for some reason.
I’ve been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The whole thing is propaganda. There isn’t a trace of residual radiation anywhere in either city. I checked using a Geiger counter purchased after the “Fukushima” nuclear hoax, which at the time I thought was real.
The few bits of footage of the nukes exploding is laughable. It’s Hollywood effects, matte screens and identical mushroom clouds composited for different angles. Totally fake.
There is a reason these magical super weapons have never been used for an act of “terrorism” or in any war zone since and it has nothing to do with mutually assured destruction, unless you take that to mean the global unravelling of the lie itself.
It’s because nukes don’t exist, have never existed and cannot be made to work. They are a myth.
While looking for info on how "feasible" an all out thermonuclear war scenario was, because I already figured that nuclear weapons are a joke and a remnant way of thought from the Cold War era of thinking, I stumbled upon this massive article about the supposed Nuclear Weapons hoax.
Some highlights of it, after skimming through it last night include:
  • Nuclear weapons are a result of a collusion between USA/USSR (With Stalin keeping the East of Europe to remain a "threat" to the west) and Japan with many other countries joining later.
  • Explaining the impossibility of making an Atomic bomb work in the first place, and why it cannot possibly produce radiation that can cause harm to any biological matter, including humans.
  • The Hiroshima and Nagasaki "atomic bombs" were most likely faked: No nuclear bombs were detonated, Napalm carpet bombings were used instead, and nobody died from radiation. It also explains how could a lie like that be kept in Japan for 60+ years and shows plenty of photos from ground zero.
  • "(...)Nuclear radiation is harmless. It is just easy to detect by Geiger meters, etc, but cannot harm anything. Only uranium and plutonium metal dusts are poisonous."
  • Clearing misconceptions related to the Fukushima 2011 incident
  • Explaining why the B61 nuclear bombs are a fraud.
  • A timeline showcasing the USA-North Korea talks from 2017 and 2018 and explaining why they were only done to put on a show, because, it is very likely that North Korea, does not have any in the first place.
And many other stuff.
Here it is, divided in 9 parts.
The people and organizations creating the lies: https://heiwaco.com/bomb.htm
The atomic bomb killed nobody in Japan: https://heiwaco.com/bombpart2.htm
How does an atomic bomb work? It doesn't! https://heiwaco.com/bombpart3.htm
Plenty O' manipulations: https://heiwaco.com/bombpart4.htm
Explosive fission is a scam: https://heiwaco.com/bombpart5.htm
All about real fission: https://heiwaco.com/bombpart6.htm
The fake B-61 atomic bombs: https://heiwaco.com/bombpart7.htm
All about no radiation at Fukushima: https://heiwaco.com/bombpart8.htm
About radiation itself: https://heiwaco.com/bombpart9.htm
The destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki appear not to be the result of one large explosion, but rather the result of a fire-bombing campaign comparable in pictures to Tokyo's fire-bombed remains. Hiroshima and Nagasaki also never experienced anything like the hundreds or thousands of years of radiation predicted by nuclear scientists, in fact, vegetation began growing within a month after the bombing, and the Japanese people began rebuilding almost immediately!
Some nuclear physicists even claim nuclear weaponry fraudulent based solely on the technical impossibilities of fission material not to be incinerated before triggering the necessary nuclear chain reaction.
Tesla even famously tried to split the atom him self and came to the conclusion it didn't release energy:
"Let me say that has nothing to do with releasing so-called atomic energy. There is no such energy in the sense usually meant. With my currents, using pressures as high as 15,000,000 volts, the highest ever used, I have split atoms — but no energy was released. I confess that before I made this experiment I was in some fear. I said to my assistants, ‘I do not know what will happen. If the conclusions of certain scientists are right, the release of energy from the splitting of an atom may mean an explosion which would wreck our apparatus and perhaps kill someone. Is that understood?’
My assistants urged me to perform the experiment and I did so. I shattered atoms again and again. But no appreciable energy was released."
This was from an interview he did with time magazine back in 1931 so it made me wonder if these anti nuke guys were on to something. The government has a lot of reasons to create a weapon of mass destruction psyop it spreads fear porn thats one thing and convinces people they can cause nuclear armageddon at the flick of a button. Einstein as some people know tried to steal Tesla's spotlight putting him into obscurity but his technology and experiments were very peculiar and show us there's a lot of high strangeness about this reality that's still not well understood.
Also In 1986, Galen Winsor a Nuclear physicist Exposed the Nuclear fear scam by licking a pile of highly radioactive uranium off the palm of his hand and ignite a chunk of plutonium into a shower of flaming dust to show how safe these materials were. The guy also drank reactor cooling pool water for fun and liked to go swimming in the pool to relax.

2024.05.14 19:58 The_Vivisci They messed up (again) mail neck collars in KCD 2......

They messed up (again) mail neck collars in KCD 2......
Hello there,
If you played KCD (and LOVED it as much as I do) you will know that the game shows a MASSIVE mistake when it comes to how aventails work, and that annoys armor nerds like me quite a lot.
In reality, the mail aventail was directly attached to the bascinet helmet via the " verveilles ", and the aventail was supposed to be ON TOP of the armor. However, if an enemy weapon got underneath the aventail, your neck would be exposed, and that is why they used a mail neck collar with NO padding that was UNDER the armor (this part appears correctly depicted in the original KCD), and in this video of Ian LaSpina you can crearly see how a knight of this era was dressed (the part of the mail neck collar starts in the minute 2:33):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k24y_ZmxRHg
In KCD 2 the aventails of the helmets are now PROPERLY done, the problem is that in this picture of Henry (below) he is using a mail neck collar ON TOP of his armor, which makes zero sense (apart from the fact that is padded and very thick, making me think that they just "cut out" the bascinet...)
Here is a photo resume for you to see it crearly:
This is the original KCD. Note the aventail being underneath the armor. That is wrong. It also lacks proper padding.
This is the original KCD. Captain Robard properly using the mail neck collar. He is just not wearing a helmet at that moment.
This is from the KCD 2 trailer. He is properly using the aventail on top of the armor. Note the correct thick padding of it.
This is from the KCD 2 trailer. Henry is using a padded mail neck collar on top of the armor. This makes zero sense, and to my knowledge never existed (not makes sense for it to have done so)
I hope they fix this by the time the game is released. I can not believe that a game that focuses so much on realism and historically accuracy would fail to do somehting like this (again...)
Don´t get me wrong, THIS IS NOT HATE, quite the contrary, KCD is one of my all time favourite games (made me enjoy it like as much as when I was a kid playing games, and that says A LOT of good things), and also support and like Warhorse Studios as much as I can and wish them a massive success in their new game, but making a mistake like this, in my humble opinion, is unacceptable, specially with the over the top, super-niche historical details they later add on their games.
No, it does not make the game "literally unplayable", but is quite sad, to be honest.
I hope some of you can correct me if I am wrong about padded mail neck collars on top of armor being ever used, but I highly doubt it.

2024.05.14 19:58 eastboat65 High price point open houses

At my firm agents love to let the newer agents hold open houses for them. It’s agreed upon that they get the foot traffic and we a chance to build our book of business with unrepresented buyers. After a year I have noticed a trend. Homes within the $400k-$600k price point seem to have the most unrepresented buyers. I’ve held a handful of open houses from $1M-$3M. The people that stop by typically have an agent or are nosy neighbors.
Originally I used those expensive homes to gain experience talking to high end clients. It was a great learning experience and I also got a chance to shadow a few agents. Now a year into real estate, there are only so many weekends in the year. Is it wise to just focus on the lower price point homes? I understand there is always room to fail forward but I want to be efficient with my time.

2024.05.14 19:58 picklebreakfast Vent: Should be grateful

I should be grateful. It has been a hell of an 11 months since this journey started. I have had the best doctors and nurses and radiation techs and surgeons at one of the world’s leading breast cancer facilities. My insurance has covered more or less everything without tooo much of a fight. My mom traveled across the country to help take care of my daughter, and my husband job has been way more accommodating than I ever could have dreamed. We have wonderful neighbors and friends who have helped when I’ve had to travel out of state for treatment (which has been basically constant).
And yet….
I am 34 with no family history or genetic mutations for this (TNBC w/ positive lymph nodes), or the surprise bonus second primary (tall cell thyroid) cancer. I didn’t get PCR, but I am an excellent advocate for myself and searched for a clinical trial that I was eligible for and was accepted.
I started the clinical trial on 5/10 (this past Friday), and I even got the investigational arm that I desperately wanted. I really should have absolutely nothing to complain about. Everything has fallen into place and is coming up roses.
But my hair was just starting to get to a length that wasn’t immediately identifiable as “cancer patient/survivor.” I can fake a cute piece-y bob. I am doing scalp cooling, but I have 15 more rounds of the experimental drug and absolutely all documentation indicates it causes alopecia and scalp cooling isn’t effective. There is something about having to go back to covering my head again that really takes the wind out of my sails. That and the bruises on my arms and the fatigue and the puffiness from the steroids. I look at pictures of myself from a year ago and I don’t even look like the same person. It makes me so sad.
Why can’t I just be grateful that I am able to get the new promising drugs?

2024.05.14 19:57 RubBulky6319 Scholarship Advice (Incoming first year)

Hello! I applied to one program at McMaster and statistically had a very very low chance of getting in, but I ended up getting in. Unfortunately, that meant that I didn’t look into scholarships through the university as I thought there’d be no chance I got in and didn’t wanna put in all the mark, which was wrong because I am in financial need (no parental support) and will need to pay for residence. Is there anything I can do or any advice at this point? I have good stats so I’d like to play my luck. I will be applying to osap though and have savings from my few years working. I applied to many awards from my school and school board, but obviously there’s no guarantee and most of them are smaller. Thanks in advance for any responses.

2024.05.14 19:57 vibrantkitty Is raising my score by 20 points in 3ish months realistic?

As the title says, I’m trying to raise my score by at least 20 points by August. I took a diagnostic and got a 148 but am hoping to get into the 160s (obviously the higher the better) to have a chance at a scholarship (looking into lower ranked schools like UW Madison, University of Minnesota, etc.) I can also take it in the fall but need to apply around thanksgiving time. I just started 7sage this week but am open to other options too. Thank you so much in advance!

2024.05.14 19:57 Erwinblackthorn Review: Tales of the EdgeWorlds Volume 1

Today’s review is for Tales of the EdgeWorlds Volume 1 by Shawn Frost. I was given an ARC copy back in July of 2023, but didn’t finish reading it until recently because I bogged myself down with too many activities, and something this long takes me a while. I will go through the things I liked about it, the things I hated, and wrap it up with a score from 1-10. My scoring system goes through 5 key components, with each one going over the creative aspect and the technical aspect. I will explain that part when we get to scoring later on, so let’s plow on through.
This is a collection, about 266 pages long, and is meant to be the first installment of a comedy series. Shawn runs a Youtube channel where he covers lolcows and does gaming streams, so comedy should come naturally to him. As a volume, this holds 4 short stories, each one holding about 8 chapters, with each story running for about 20k words. Technically, we can say it’s 4 novelettes, but as I explain the situation, you’ll see why they are so long. The plot may seem complex but the main characters go through the same situations: the dimensional merge occurred, between all of our creative properties and C-197, with a group of rambunctious penguins doing mercenary work.
Sadly, it’s not really the Chris-Chan version of a dimensional merge, so we do not see Sonichu or any of that wacky world… yet. It's volume 1, so it's too early to say it's not open to the possibilities. The style runs close to internet memes and those old Newgrounds cartoons, with the focus aimed at action scenes and descriptions of the creative world around their setups. But, as you read through the massive amount of descriptions and banter, you'll realize that very little happens in each story. I would say each one is very simple and with a low reading level needed to get through them, which is a double-edged sword in this case.
I say this because the writing tries too hard to claim a joke was made when it wasn’t really a “ha-ha” joke to begin with. It’s more like “ah… humor is detectable somewhere in these pages” kind of comedy. It relates to the offensive animals of Fritz the Cat, where the comedy comes from the absurdity of a setup, rather than a punchline that is found. Unfortunately, because the satire is absent and it focuses too much on the premise, the result becomes more like my favorite episode of Heil Honey I’m Home, minus Hitler and his annoying neighbors. The banter bogs down the pacing, turning each chapter into a short, yet overly long, sample of a scene, chained together by constantly shifting points of view.
Thankfully, this simple way of approaching a story allows a casual reader to speed on by. Things are easy to follow and characters are easy to remember. The main cast of Edgy, Jeff, Todd, and Hylus are separated by their brand of chaotic addictions. Addiction to drugs, addiction to hentai, addiction to video games, addiction to murder; all greatly expressed in what are meant to be running gags that resemble a sitcom cast. The ship they travel around in, from job to job, can easily be imagined as a "That '70s Show basement" version of the ship in The Orville, as each story goes to different planets where they meet different aliens.
There is enough in each story to understand what is going on, with the stories more as an exploration of lore than an exploration of character or theme. The lack of focus, as well as the indifferent prose, harms the way each tale is told. I would never say these are bad ideas or bad concepts, just bad ways to get them across. High concept, low composition. I would say the main value is from the promise of more to come than what is presented in the pages.
Time for the rating, which will be given between 0-2. 1 point goes to the technical aspect and 1 point goes to the creative side of things. Flaws within a point will reduce it into smaller decimals, but a single aspect is not able to entirely kill a story on its own. If it’s all technical or all creative, a story will be treated as mediocre. Even if I like something, it is still possible to get a 5/10, meaning it’s not suitable for the average reader who is more accepting of a 7 or an 8.
Plot: 1.5 Things happen and people go places in the form of a violent travelog. The pacing bogs down the destination with tourist traps.
Characters: 1.5 The characters play their roles well, even though their roles don’t play well with the plot. Their banter and quirks fall flat in parts.
Prose: 1 With clear points between A and B, wet and sloppy ideas are delivered dry and brittle. With each paragraph shoving lore down the reader’s throat, it can become death by a thousand detours.
Theme: 1 There is a great message about how chaos and anarchy transforms people into primitive animals. Unfortunately, the author couldn’t find it in the infinite vastness of subspace.
Setting : 2 It is a world you want to know more about and look forward to the next bit of info. Creative, exotic, to the proper point of chaotic, yet still comprehensible. Everything about this book is in the setting.
Final verdict: 7/10
The book is niche, it takes a while to heat up, and even then it’s as appealing as a mystery flavor hot pocket. If you’re into absurdity, you will enjoy it. I just wish the absurdity had some life behind it. There is room for expansion and I hope that opportunity is taken.

2024.05.14 19:57 Zestyclose-Piano-849 I miss each and every events and ocassions because I have huge insecurities that I can't get over.

It's as the title says. I miss occasions like wedding , freshers, farewells, birthday parties or anything in general that requires me to dress up, wear makeup, mingle with people and click pictures by saying that I have a migraine or I get bored easily.
But the truth is that I hate how I look and how I can't just make myself look pretty no matter what I wear or how I doll myself up. The end result will always be the same and I will always end up hating how I look or how my pictures come out. The hate is not the major reason why I avoid then though. It's the spiral, that I should have never wasted my time and energy on trying to make myself pretty since the end result will not change and the fact that I will never look pretty and my smile will never be something to look at, that I fall into. That spiral gives out a guilt that creeps up on me anytime I have attended any event in the past. I will come home, look at the photos and I will just end up hating myself enough to not look in the mirror for the next 2 to 3 days. This guilt and the feeling that I have wasted my time make me avoid the events each time. I have tried to ignore that guilt and self hatred but guess what I fail everytime. I always hate how my pictures come out no matter how hard I work and how much I learn posing. I wish I could express this guilt and hatred better but I can't. It's just a jumble of feelings inside me.
Now don't think that I am trying to cater to compliments here. Trust me I am not. I know how I look. I know that I have one of the ugliest smile and my body is wierd with stretch marks all over it. And no matter what I do I can't seem to loose weight. My pictures comes out ugly as hell no matter the lighting or the poses, enough to destroy the whole picture. I also probably lack confidence. I have come in terms with it for my daily life. I normally don't think about how I look in my daily outfits in my day to day life. For most of the part I just ignore the fact that I want to or am supposed look pretty or anything in my day to day life. This insecurity, that I have didn't start form any Instagram model or anything. It just got rooted inside me one day. And after that day I started hating how I looked at every event and how I just couldn't get my pictures look good. I don't know why my looks at only the events effect me this much and not in my day to day life. I don't compare myself to anyone normally except when I am getting ready for any event or ocassion to attend. But I think my frustration and hatred comes from the fact that even after using lots and lots of energy and time to get ready for any event I still manage to look below average with that ugly smile.
And I have been to therapists. They will just ask me to try and force myself to attend these events using various methods and honestly I hate that I have to force myself to attend them even though each and every cell in my body is screaming that I don't want to go. I have had several panic attacks by now regarding this and so now I just don't want to waste my energy and those feelings of hating myself (since they only appear when I am to any kind of events as I said earlier). Maybe I will have regrets in the future for missing some very special moments in my life and will have no moments of fun and social life in college to reminisce about. But right now in this space I am happy. Right now I don't regret not attending them since I know what will follow. Right now here I am at peace without the fear of people and panic attacks.
You know the world really likes to preach about how exterior beauty doesn't matter and it's what you have on the inside that matters but then won't hesitate to tell you ugly or compare you or give you suggestions on how to make yourself look pretty. Just saying.
Anyway the reason I am saying this is probably because I wanted to let this out. For past 5 years everyone around me has been trying to make me attend different events but obviously they have been unsuccessful. My parents by now have almost given up and I think my friends are suspicious. But yeah since I can't tell them about the actual reason I am typing it out here. Why? I don't know. Maybe by having it out here I am trying to placate my mind that I have told my friends and parents why don't attend these events. But in truth no one knows.

2024.05.14 19:56 Aresson480 How is the sideline played currently?

I was looking at the new chases from Marvel´s Next Phase. Following is one as an example:
AVATAR OF AMMIT: SIDELINE ACTIVE - During force construction you may pay 10 points to choose another friendly character to be Ammit's Avatar. If the chosen character has the Herald keyword, pay 0 points instead. That character can't be equipped or chosen to be any other characters Avatar. This game, Ammit's Avatar can use Poison and Steal Energy, and also scores the points paid with this trait when they are KO'd.
So, the question is, can you put this on your sideline from the get go and activate the trait? or you need to wait for Ammit to be KO´d for it to activate?
What other sideline effects should I need to be aware of?

2024.05.14 19:56 Good_Boye_Scientist Roller coaster of a 1st game

Still on my first playthrough, I went in blind without reading any guides/tutorials. I made some huge mistakes like picking the wrong city development perks (sheep breeding, trapping, and charcoal first three, then deep mining, cheaper trade routes, and helmet crafting last). I also completely ignored military and weapon making as well as never attacking bandit camps, mostly because I was constantly trying to keep my town alive since they were always running out of food (almost every year was at 0 months until food ran out after winter). But after several years of expansion and farming like there was no tomorrow, and making every single citizen have a vegetable plot or chickens, they finally became self sustaining enough for me to build hundreds of weapons and armor since I started out in a rich iron deposit with added deep mining perk. By that time the Baron had claimed every single region except one. I claimed it when I finally had 1k influence, built up a thriving meat industry (rich animal deposit) which further supported my first town's growth. Then relatively quickly gained 2k influence to lay claim to one of baron's regions. Even though he had 2 extra archer & footmen squads, as well as double the retinue amount than me, I squashed one of his archer squads that tried to outflank me with my retinue, and pinned their whole army between my 72 spearmen and sent my retinue to attack them from behind while they were engaged with the spear wall and getting hit with my archers. Victory!
I went from nearly giving up and starting over due to my town's starvation, to being a powerful kingdom in a couple years. This game is awesome, can't wait for more developments & features! I like that you actually can strategically plan & update your combat strategy in real-time to out maneuver the enemy.
Now to go and claim the rest of the map!

2024.05.14 19:56 Jordan_Jay Embark Needs To Improve Their Customer Support System

Embark Needs To Improve Their Customer Support System
For context: I have been playing this game since start of season 1, me and my friend only play casual and only played ranked for the circuit challenge. I don't take this game serious in anyway and like most of us it is just something do with friends to unwind after work etc.
I was playing with my friend one night and the following day I was unable to launch my game, did some basic troubleshooting and had to open a ticket with Embark support.
What I am going to show you is the problem, and from what I have seen going down this rabbit hole I am not the only one who has had this experience. There is no way to get in contact with a real person to help you with your issues. I have tired to reach out in the discord only to have CM tell me to open a ticket.
I have been told by some people that these are real people responding to me in the tickets but I have seen other post with the same copy and paste responses.
At this point I dont think I will ever get to play on my account again which is a shame because I really like this game and what it was doing, and starting over when I have already put time and money into the game is not something I want to do.
This is my last attempt at trying to get some kind of answers and hopefully get the current system improved upon so other like me do not have to be left in the dark, do what you will with the information below.

2024.05.14 19:56 Many_Emu_1572 ‘What if’ the Jazz would have full-on tanked for the 22-23 season?

This is an impossible task, but interesting to think about given current conversations around the Jazz’s ‘directionless’ state. You don’t have to tell me this is speculation, I know there are infinite ways this could have turned out, but I do think some of the big pieces are more likely to have occurred if the Jazz went this route.
What would a full tank have looked like at that time (ish)?
Conley and Clarkson are traded before the season begins.
Markkanen emerges, but is traded before the deadline to ensure we maximize our chances at Wemby.
Possible 2023 NBA Draft Results:
Future Draft assets look different:
End of season roster rounds out to be something like:
