2024.05.15 16:59 MRaccoon5 Free ADAM MOD Script?
So I've been a big Bioshock series fan since I was little but recently I've been looking into moding Bioshock 1 & 2, but I'm unable to figure out the proper way to do this. The only video I was able to find had a guy playing loud music over his voice. I want to be able to give myself free ADAM to see how their games would change as if I had everything from the start or at least enough to make the splicers regret their addiction to ADAM. If anyone is able to help me with this dilemma I would appreciate it sorry is a post of this sort has already been made. I'm on PC.

2024.05.15 16:54 Management_7611 What's Is there Get the way to Watch Live Fury vs Usyk Boxing Streams Free?
What's Is there Get the way to Watch Live Fury vs Usyk Boxing Streams Free?? Fury is getting on a bit. He's not going to be as mobile as he used to be. Coming in heavy only compounds that. Even a slimmed down Fury is bigger and stronger than Usyk, so why risk gassing out or being unable to catch the smaller man?
🔴Visit🥊►
Boxing Streams 🔴Watch🥊►
Boxing Live Does anybody else think that Tyson fury is looking a bit too thin to fight usyk? If you get me. It looks like he's lost ALOT of weight. His weight is his biggest advantage. If he looses more than he usually does, I think he'll struggle against usyk there's no way he'll outbox him. as he won't have much weight for him to lean on usyk and also unpopular opinion, I do think it's fishy. He wasn't in good shape for the feb 17th usyk fight and now he got "cut" it's given him lots more time to train doesn't it seem strange?
I pirate everything: games, movies, software, and even made my own plex server. But lately I have gotten really into Usyk & Fury Boxing and haven't found a great way to watch Boxing for free live.
The Fury v Usyk live stream sees the undisputed heavyweight championship defend his strap against the popular Californian pugilist. Here's everything you need to know to watch online with and without a PPV. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will take the ring on Saturday May 18) at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Here are all the ways to stream live free online.
I don't care if there is a small delay or anything, but it needs to be at a good bitrate at 1080p or it isn't worth watch for me. Also preferably I would want a way to watch it on a smart TV in some way but im expecting to sacrifice that luxury honestly.
ESPN, ABC or Boxing Network. I'm sure you can stream as well as way to watch it but I want to see what you guys recommend.

2024.05.15 16:54 Stiles-Micaiah Setting Up HDR Support on Linux (Plasma 6)
I’m creating this post to assist newcomers in setting up HDR support on Linux using Plasma 6. I’ve encountered partial and use-case answers, and the wiki isn’t exactly coherent. Hopefully, this guide will help someone (or preferably many people) get HDR working without spending hours on Google, Bing, and Copilot searches. Also, I used Copilot to make this more legible after typing it out. So, if bits of it sound like AI, it’s just rephrasing something I said.
IMPORTANT: - The commands provided assume you are using Manjaro or at least Arch. These distributions are known to be excellent for gaming until SteamOS 3 is generally released.
- If you’re using a different distribution (e.g., Ubuntu), adapt the commands accordingly. For instance, replace pacman -Syu with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y.
- Be proactive but ask for help if you can't find your distros equivalent.
- Give the wiki a read anyway, the more you read the more you’ll learn. Even if it doesn’t make much sense https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope
Instructions: - Check Display Settings:
- Go to Settings > Display & Monitor and look for an HDR option. If it’s there, skip to step 5.
- If no HDR option appears, proceed to the following fixes.
- Ensure You’re Using Wayland:
- Wayland supports HDR, while Xorg (X11) does not.
- Check your current graphics platform under Settings > About This System > Graphics Platform.
- To switch to Wayland:
- Go to Settings > Colors and Themes > Login Screen (SDDM) > Behavior (top right).
- Set Auto Login to use Wayland.
- Restart your system. (There might be alternative methods; feel free to comment if you know one!)
- Driver Caution:
- Switching to Wayland may break your drivers.
- If so, run the following commands and restart: sudo mhwd --remove pci video-nvidia && sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
- Enable HDR:
- Now that you’re using Wayland with fresh drivers, the HDR option should appear. Refer to step 1.
- Change settings one at a time or it may not apply correctly (e.g., 1080p > apply > 120Hz > apply > HDR on > apply). KDE can be quirky like that.
- Install Gamescope:
- To get Steam games running in HDR, you’ll need Gamescope.
- Install Gamescope with the following command: sudo pacman -Syu && sudo pacman -S gamescope
- Enable Steam integration: gamescope -e -- steam
- Steam Launch Options:
- Add launch options for the game you want HDR in.
- For 1080p@120Hz, the launch option might look like: gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 120 --hdr-enabled -- %command%
- gamescope specifies the use of Gamescope.
- The custom resolution and refresh rate are necessary (there’s a reason, but I forgot!).
- Ensure HDR is enabled in the launch options; otherwise, it won’t work.
- Testing HDR:
- After completing the steps above, HDR should work in your game.
- Keep in mind that the Steam UI will probably be very glitchy at this point. Patience and deep breaths are essential.
- I tested it with Horizon Forbidden West, and it worked phenomenally once I was in the game.
- Returning to X11 for Compatibility and Comfort:
- Repeat Step 2, choosing X11 instead of Wayland.
- Remove launch options.
- Voilà, we’re back to square one!
Caveats: - Using Wayland affects Steam significantly:
- The store page becomes unusable.
- The big picture menu (home, settings, etc.) is almost completely broken.
- You can still navigate with some guesswork.
- Wayland resets display settings on every power-on:
- Re-enable HDR.
- Set resolution (if you have a 4K screen, playing in 1080p might result in a tiny box if the desktop resolution is set to 4K).
- Often restart Steam before launching anything.
TL; DR: Dude it's an instruction set, go back and read 💀

2024.05.15 16:43 radondude My Bladder Cancer Experience
I get a lot of messages asking about my cancer, so before I get to my story: I highly recommend visiting
BCAN.org and asking to be paired up in their survivor to survivor program. Every diagnosis is different and the survivor to survivor program pairs you with someone with similar age, gender, and diagnosis, so you can ask all about their experience. I have enjoyed volunteering with the program and the newly diagnosed that I speak to seem to as well.
My story: In March of 2020, I was diagnosed with Stage III muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Leading up to that diagnosis I had recurring episodes of
extremely painful urination for nearly two years. Not a drop of blood in my urine. The episodes were becoming longer and more frequent. I had urgency and an extreme pain that had me calling out sick from work. It was pure misery and by the time I was diagnosed it was actually a relief.
The test I urge anyone reading this to get is a
urine cytology. I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. In my experience the urine cytology saved my life. It's a cheap "pee cup" test you can get at any urologist's office. More info
here. My easy to remember rhyme is:
if it burns when you pee, get a urine cytology. Up until that test, doctors had been meandering down a path that was not focused on cancer. I was 33 years old (37M now) and due to my young age they didn't consider cancer. I had been in some mountain bike accidents with pelvic trauma so I was misdiagnosed with
Pudendal Neuralgia. Symptoms matched but the treatment offered no relief.
I did my urine cytology. 15 minutes later "Atypical cells" led to a bladder scope and I was
looking at my tumors in the urologist's office. The tumors were biopsied and I was scheduled for
TURBT. This is where my stage III diagnosis was given. I felt immediate relief from the painful urination after tumor removal. The tumors were pressing on my ureters so it felt like kidney stones all the time. We immediately started chemo and my doctors began telling me I would lose my bladder. I did
MVAC chemo for four rounds over the summer. This was very intense: what you think about when people say chemo. Lost my hair--gained weight which is not uncommon--and overall felt like shit. After that I was given a few weeks to recover and then had a
radical cystectomy with neobladder diversion in August of 2020. This was not an easy decision but the prognosis was best. I tend to trust the data.
SHOUTOUT to my medical team: Dr. Bupathi & Dr. Monticelli of Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers; as well as Dr. Shandra Wilson my urologist and surgeon. Their skills and expertise assuaged all my concerns and made me feel so confident.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. For those reading: get a good team; ask lots of questions; and don't be afraid to get multiple opinions. I keep several journals, which help a lot and I'll detail that at the bottom of this post*
Recovery from the neobladder surgery was the hardest part. I had a foley catheter and "grenade" for six weeks or so. My cath bag looked like a bag of red wine due to blood. They walk you around a lot to recover faster. It involved a lot of bed-rest intermixed with short walks. I think I was out of the office for at least a month. I am in generally very good physical shape and even several weeks after this procedure it was hard to walk more than 1/4 mile.
From there I thought I was cancer free. I lead my life with my family**. Here is what saved my life again:
Signaterra testing. Dr. Bupathi had these tests scheduled every six weeks. It tracks genetic cancer markers in your blood. The test results look like the stock market except you want it to go down. After several months we noticed it was rising again. We ordered a PET scan, found enlarged lymph nodes, and determined my cancer had returned (or never left). I began a second chemo regiment followed by immunotheraphy (that I
just completed yesterday!!!).
CisGem chemo was quite difficult. The C in MVAC stands for cisplatin and it's generally one of the hardest drugs to tolerate. After a few difficult rounds we switched to carboplatin and it became much more tolerable. After that I did two years of
Bavencio/Avelumab. My Natera test results showed that my cancer had dropped to untraceable levels during chemo, so I effectively beat it before starting the PDL1 inhibitor therapy. However, my team strongly encouraged me to complete the immuno. To me, it felt like putting out a campfire: add water, stir, add water, stir. You gotta make sure it's really gone!
The bavencio PDL1 therapy caused me a lot of mood swings and sometimes caused immune system flare ups (i.e. "immuno flu"). For the physical flare ups I used prednisone, as needed. I tried to do so sparingly as it basically cancels out your treatment. The mood swings were the worst. I would often be despondent and depressed for a few days after treatment. Other times, I'd feel no mood alterations. Most often, I'd be extremely irritable for about a week after treatment (treatments were every two weeks so it was very difficult).
I'm now two years cancer free and beginning my recovery from the immunotherapy treatments. I am so happy to live in an age of modern medicine. Within my lifetime many cancers will become manageable diseases--it appears to me that bladder cancer already has. Reach out to BCAN support groups and DM me if my post didn't answer a question of yours. Good luck! You got this!
*Journaling helped me tremendously. I had three journals (google docs). The first was an overall journal detailing my doctor visits. The second was a symptom journal. The third was an insurance journal/spreadsheet. The first journal served almost as a blog, which I shared with close friends and family. That way I didn't have to have the same conversation over and over. It's nice to have family and friends interested, but it does wear at you when you have to tell the same doctor visit over and over to people. This cut down on those discussions and allowed me to have more enjoyable calls with well-wishers. The second journal I would write down daily side effects and 1-10 pain scales. This was extremely important because I could bring it up with doctors and I wouldn't have to remember how I felt, I could look it up. It also helped me understand insidious side effects that take months to reveal themselves. This was the most important journal and kept me sane. There are soooo many side effects and when you start a cancer treatment program you often have no choice-- so why read them? Well this journal would help me understand when something was a side effect. Often just knowing that
it wasn't you it was the drug would have a calming effect. The third journal was so I could fight insurance and get what I deserve. Insurance companies try to reduce payouts through exhaustion. They want you to give up. By documenting your experience you give yourself ammunition when you have to escalate a claim or file an appeal. You have everything laid out in an organized manner. You can get it out of your head and onto a spreadsheet so that you don't think about it when you go to bed at night. I had to file appeals several times, sometimes with Colorado Division of Insurance and my record-keeping was a tremendous boon to my case.
Don't pay a bill as soon as you get it! Wait until you get the claim record from your insurance company and make sure the number on the bill matches what the insurance company told you to pay. If you cut that check wrong, you'll seldom get that money back!
**Neobladders do not have musculature like your normal bladder. I had several very severe bladder infections--a few that led to hospitalization. During the first 18 months or so, I was not catheterizing becuase I was under the impression that my new bladder worked. I peed constantly; however, I was retaining over one liter of urine at all times. This urine kept becoming infected and putting me in miserable situations. Under my urologists advice,
I began cathing and immediately felt great. I lost nearly 10 lbs in "water weight" and no longer have any urgency issues. I can sleep through the night, but often will cath around five hours into the night just so I can sleep in later. On average I cath about once every three hours. It's not painful when done correctly. It's honestly just tedious. However, after all of this the only way my life is abnormal now is my cathing. I can swim, climb, play with my son and do any physical activity; it just takes longer to pee now. I'll take that win!

2024.05.15 16:39 JzaDragon X-Men's Blob (20 Totem Barbarian)
A build for 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons Fred Dukes, a.k.a.
The Blob, is grotesquely obese and unusually tall. He started notoriety as a circus freak and strongman, demonstrating his amazing ability to remain unmovable no matter what tried to push him. Both Xavier and Magneto observed that this was his mutant power and tried inviting him in, but Blob's outlook as a bully and an opportunist guided him straight to villainy among the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Aside from his immense strength, his mutant gift is to create a super-dense personal center of gravity, rendering him impossible to move from his concentrated spot by anything other than the mightiest feats and characters in Marvel Comics history. Colossus is unable to make him budge, but he has lifted up the ground Blob was standing on, a loophole to his immovability power. He is also superhumanly tough; his thick, blubbery hide ignores damage from gunfire and even Wolverine's claws, though he has no special protection against attacks on his mind or senses.
Blob: 15/15/15/8/8/8, all physical with nothing at all upstairs
Loxodon is used for race to be big and fat; custom lineage for a starting feat
- +2 strength from custom lineage
- Fighting Initiate for Unarmed Fighting Style, gaining 1d8 unarmed strikes with his fists or his weight
- Athletics proficiency from race
- Acrobatics and Performance from the Gladiator background, calling back to your circus days
- Perception and Intimidation from Barbarian
Barbarian: 1:
- Rage: activate as a bonus action to gain a rage damage bonus, resist all physical damage, and have advantage on strength checks and strength saving throws. Lasts 1 minute unless ended early either voluntarily, for not being damaged or attacking for a full round, or by being knocked unconscious. You start with 2 uses of this per long rest, and a rage damage bonus of 2

2:
- Reckless Attack: be hit with advantage for a round to have advantage with your attacks

- Rage uses per long rest increases to 3
4:
- ASI: take the Athlete feat
- Gain +1 strength, now 18

14:

It’s another d12+str of damage every round that can bypass high ACs and is great for causing prone to things with a high grapple contest or high Dex save.
15:

16:

- Rage damage bonus increases to 4
17:

- Primal Champion: you now have 24s in str and con
- Rages are now resource-free with unlimited uses
Magic Items Wishlist: - +1/2/3 Wraps of Unarmed Prowess: further add to unarmed damage and make it magical as you progress
- Bracers of Defense: +2 AC with your yellow wristbands
- Boots of Striding and Springing: turn that 10’ jump into a 30’ jump; Fast Movement at level 5 gives you just enough speed to do this and still be able to stand from prone. You also don’t slow down from encumbrance, making you able to comfortably lift and drag over a thousand pounds.
- Immovable Rod: hide this under your belt and activate it to become nigh immovable
- Orb of the Stein Rune:
- Indomitable Stand: As an action, you can channel the orb's magic to hold your ground. For the next minute or until you move any distance, you have advantage on all checks and saving throws to resist effects that force you to move. In addition, any enemy that moves to a space within 10 feet of you must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be unable to move any farther this turn.
Tactics: The Athlete feat enables Blob to make a running high jump with only 5’ movement, short enough to not leave the reach of his opponent and incur OA. A running high jump equals 3+strength mod of feet vertically; at level 4 he has 18 strength, so a strength mod of +4. Tiger totem provides another 3 feet while raging, getting his running high jump to 10 feet, so starting at level 4 he is able to leap up and fall back into a medium creature’s space.
Tasha’s provides us with rules on landing on another creature. When falling into a creature’s space, they have to make a dc 15 dex save or split any fall damage and you both fall prone. Barb rage resists fall damage and Athlete allows you to stand from prone with just 5’ movement, so you easily handle both effects, but your opponents won’t be so lucky.
Using just your movement speed, you can land in the borders overlapping the grid squares on a battlemap to potentially prone more than one creature; you’re the height and width of a loxodon, so even though your size category is medium, you can belly flop parallel to the earth to cover a lot more area. Anywhere between one and four enemies can fall prone beneath you and all it took was 20’ movement, with your actions and bonus action all still available.
From there you can easily grapple your proned targets to keep them stuck under your girth or unarmed strike them with advantage without needing to use Reckless. For fun, I advise flavoring the total unarmed damage as a part of the huge belly slam’s impact; unarmed strikes need not be with just your hands after all.
With Magneto on your side, he can use graviturgy magic to double your weight and use his reaction to increase your fall damage by 2d10 to better share it to those you land on.
