2024.05.14 03:17 Even_Assignment_276 Should I move to Pittsburgh? What are the pros and cons?

Hi all. I’m a 25M and have been living in the Boston area my entire life. I grew up a little outside Boston, went to college in Boston, and been living near downtown Boston the past 3 years since graduation.
There’s a lot of things I like about living here. I like having 4 seasons (I prefer the cold over the heat). Having sports teams. Lots of decent bars and music venues. Interesting history. Walkability and access to public transit.
But lots of things here that I hate too - mostly the far left politics, the rampant Ivy-league elitism, and sky high cost of living. Everything here is outrageously priced, a beer is like $10!!!The people here are also kinda assholes lolllll. I need to live with roommates, and amenities like in-unit laundry, a car, a dishwasher, and A/C are considered luxuries here rather than normal (similar to living in Manhattan). The job market here also isn’t great. There aren’t a lot of available jobs here and ones that are available are highly contested - often with people who went to Ivy leagues or other top end schools. I had to get a remote job because I couldn’t find anything appealing in-person.
I’ve been considering moving to a new area with some similarities to Boston but also something with a lower cost of living, more moderate politics, and less elitist vibes. I am considering a fresh start since most of my friends and family have left Massachusetts and I’ve been burnt out.
Pittsburgh is one place I have been considering. From what I’ve heard, Pittsburgh looks to have a similar climate. Is also a safer than average city. More moderate politics. Great sports fans. (I will always be a Boston fan first but would still go to lots of games :)) Underrated bar, food, and music scene. Friendlier people (not hard compared to Boston lol). And way more bang for your buck - especially for housing
Are those things true? Do you think this city could be a good fit for me? I’d love to hear your perspectives. Thank you so much!

2024.05.14 03:17 mbcook Stuck half way through, need help

I’m not looking for a direct answer, more of a hint as to what direction I should go in so I can continue to solve things myself. I’ve seen every chapter except the one held back, 8, so it’s not like I’ve missed a scene. I was having a ton of fun doing this but I’ve just gotten totally stuck.
I have solved 1-3, 6, 10-14, 18 & 19, 23-26, 31, 33, 35, 37-39, 42 & 42, 48 & 49, 51-54, 56. The game tells I have three easy ones at the moment (one triangle) which are 3-1, 5-4, 9-2.
I’m aware of the bunks in 2-1 and 7-2 and using that to get info. i’m pretty sure I know who did a couple of other things but since I’m missing the name of one person or the other and I can’t seem to find it I can’t actually enter it. And I don’t have enough correct put in to have another set of three verified. In fact when my last set of three was verified I thought I had at least two more that were done but obviously not.
I’m just not sure where I should be looking at this point to be able to figure out more. Can someone suggest where to look next?

2024.05.14 03:16 Reckful-Abandon Inquiring about Foxiel

Sorry for the weird post, I saw a post about a month ago saying this game had a fox character among its cast. The game wasn't out at the time, but I remembered that fact today. I admittedly know very little about this game, but I have a silly personal mission to watch/play as much media with foxes in it as I can. Is Foxiel playable? If so, do I have to complete most of the game to unlock her? (I played Unicorn Overlord and was a bit disappointed that I was already 2/3rds of the way through the game when I unlocked Dinah). Does she have a decent amount of content, or is it only a few scenes here and there? Again, I realize this is a silly metric to decide (at least partially) whether I play this game, but any answers or insights would be appreciated!

2024.05.14 03:12 TaranMatharu The web of clues in From

When solving a mystery, one has to make some assumptions if one wishes to go beyond a surface level solve attempt of From's mystery. Which effectively means, one must pick an answer to a clue one is fairly certain of, and use that as one might use a jigsaw piece to solve the next clue that connects to it.
For any interested, I share my opinion on what the key strands of clue clusters and the twisted threads therein that I believe need to be woven together into a narrative to form an origin story for Fromland and solve the show.
1. The first strand is historical figures from North American history (and the end of the War of the Roses), falling roughly on the dates on Tabitha's dream sequence. Some historical figures are given far more clues than others, suggesting they might later become characters on the show. In particular Caroline Dye's hoodoo magic, and Alma Hayes the strongwoman.
There are six threads in there as not every timeline will be explored in the series - the main ones are 1930s, 1880s, 1860s, 1770s, 1670s, and 1498.
1498 is by far the most prevalent and perhaps the easiest to start with. Most are from England and to a lesser extent, Italy/Venice, Scotland, Germany, Portugal, Spain, France, Burgundy, China, Iran, Iceland, Greenland/Newfoundland. It's also the best one to solve first, as the historical figures in the 1498 origin story are the archetypes that the historical figures in the other timelines mimic.
For example, I'm absolutely certain one is Richard Amerike - Sheriff of Bristol. There is a lawman/sheriff in every timeline - Boyd is the sheriff now.
Each new historical figure discovered in any timeline is a great puzzle piece. If you find out Emmett Kelly, the Hobo Clown is in the 1930s timeline, you can search for other "clowns" and discover Triboulet, the court jester in the 1498 origin story.
2. The second strand is the sequence of events in the origin story specifically. These clues are far more vague, and easier to explain what I mean by example.
Let's look at Kelly's head spiked to a tree with Boyd yanking it out instead of using the gun. The reasoning was: Kristi did not want Kelly to see or experience the gun, when Kelly is currently blind and the gun is a far better "experience" than the yanking. I contend this is quite a pointed clue that he's recreating a scene in the original timeline. In my opinion, a botched execution by a crossbow at a time where there were no guns to use.
There are threads within this strand. Two are practically strands of their own, with witch trial and torture methods and christmas / lent traditions from the countries of the various historical figures being the most prevalent. The traditions bit is a lot easier if you solve the origin story characters first, since you can then surmise which countries the traditions to look out for might come from.
3. The third strand is the mythology of the show. Ultimately, if one assumes North East Canada is where it all begins, you might make the leap it relates to the mythology related to that area. This has two main threads, the bogeyman, and the fairies. What I came to find were, there were clues pointing to practically every kind of bogeyman and fairy legend in that region. I was wondering if these were red herrings, or maybe it was all of them at once? It took me a long time to figure out what we're being asked to do here - but I figure there are 7 bogeymen and 4 fairy types the monsters and entity are mimicking, and a type of bogeyman and fairy that they really are.
4. Apotropaic magic - specific to the cunning folk of England. Witch's bottles and ladders, that sort of thing.
5. Medieval board and card games, as well as a few other adult medieval games, like stoolball. Main thread here is French tarot cards, but not their witchy meanings and connection to fortune telling, just the playing cards and what they look like. Other substantial threads involve Game of Goose and Pachisi.

2024.05.14 03:12 meseeksfan 36 [M4F] #Los Angeles/California - I'm looking for a Geeky and nerdy girlfriend.

I'm Introverted, quiet, master-otaku, and love journaling (though it's mostly on my phone-notepad nowadays). Never beating the feel of pages and ink though 📚). But insanity have disrupted my writings and stuff which....really sucks.
Speaking of insanity, another thing that I enjoy is going to my group therapy sessions, Really like my peers (they're my people☮️🏝️). Sometimes I don't wanna go when having one of those days, but more times than none, usually glad..
Love music, that's my go-to hobby. I'm one of those cats that rewind melodies in musical pieces I like a bunch of times🤣. Music touches me in ways that's hard to explain.
Trying to be a good Christian in my faults. Learning Life and laughing at the misadventures. Off the grid.
Probably write better than talking....I don't know, sometimes I have my talkative days. Like trivia (but maybe better at behind the scenes stuff about Video Game, Manga, Movies, and music type trivia). I like playing video games. My favorites are the "Metal Gear Solid" series, the "Yakuza" series, "Red Dead Redemption 2", "Control", "Uncharted" series, "Death Stranding", and "Katana Zero", the story heavy stuff (I love cutscenes😊). Like gaming news.
Usually have to reset, as I can't wait to get back home. Movie buff of course with mostly older films. I haven't kept up with the new movies. Some look interesting, I'm just picky, you know....when you seen great movies over the years you kinda.... expect good films because you know they can be.
Will always be a big kid🤪.
I like using emojis. Don't know why.

2024.05.14 03:11 anonomus1057 [TOMT] [VIDEO] or [VIDEO-GAME] anti-drug/anti-crack video from the early 2000s that was really scary

I’ve been looking for this everywhere, but I have a vivid memory of this psa or video or video game that was like “anti-drug” or “anti-crack”.
All I remember is that 1. I saw it when I was young (2007-2017ish I would guess) 2. It was drawn or animated and I remember a dark grayish room and that it talked about how crack/drugs/maybe heroine idk affects your body. 3. I vividly remember a scene with an animated arm, again very grey/black and white sketched style, where you see bugs crawling under the skin.
Thank you for any help finding this piece of media!

2024.05.14 03:11 OttoVonBlastoid Nature Of A Homeless Musician: Special Thanks/Announcements

Nature Of A Homeless Musician: Special Thanks/Announcements
Hello all! Otto here. And, as you all now know. NoaHM has finally come to an end. It's been a hell of a ride that I'll never forget. But before I move on to thanking specific people and telling you all what's in store, I wanted to be a bit mushy for a minute if you'll indulge me...

When I first heard of NoP, I was in the middle of the night shift that I'm still working to this day. I had a single ear bud in, which was TECHNICALLY against the rules, and still is but fuck 'em. And to pass the time, I listened to stories. Either Mr. Creeps' Creepypasta compilations or, in this case, Agro Squirrel's Tales From Outer SPACE series. And eventually, I heard the name, The Nature Of Predators...and it all went downhill from there as you all can well imagine.

Jokes aside, I fell in love with the story and universe and decided to check out the community. And soon, I found the very first fic I ever read on here, "My Floridian Arxur Daughter". From that point on, I was hooked. I read "Arxur Nursery", "The New Terran Refugee", "Feathers Of Deceit", "Lost In Found", "Recipe For Disaster", "Playing By Ear", and so, SO many more. The sheer amount of creativity on display was amazing. And so...I decided to try my hand at it.

I'd already written a short creepypasta, as well as a small five-part miniseries based off of one of my friends DnD campaigns, so I had a LITTLE experience, but I still hadn't taken a single writing course or knew...anything about what I was doing, so I decided to try something small. (That worked out well...)

I was in the middle of rereading "Floridian Arxur Daughter" for...maybe the sixth time when a particular scene stuck out to me. Something about it...made something click in my head. After evacuating young Chalta from the house, her big bother Carlos and his girlfriend Salisek decide to take her out on a drive, and while their driving, Carlos mentions his ability to sing, and after both Chalta and Salisek both ask for a demonstration, he sings a beautiful rendition of "Send Me A Peach" from Over The Garden Wall.

It was a touching scene, and hearing the song from Chalta's point of view clicked with me. It was by this point that I'd also discovered "Playing By Ear" by u/VeryUnluckyDice, which was essentially this "listening to music through the perspective of someone else's mind" idea made manifest. And that's where it all began. I made a post, proposing the premise of my story, and while I didn't get a LOT of feedback, most of the feedback I got was positive. And a few days later, "Nature Of A Homeless Musician: Prologue" was born, in all of its overly edgy glory. And well...you know the rest from there...

I never could have imagined just how big this story would get. It was NEVER supposed to grow this much, touch so many people, inspire so many others to make stuff themselves. Sure, I hoped that it might, but I never thought it would! But now...here we are...

I...can't put into words, how thankful I am to each and every single one of you, who gave my little idea a chance. It means more to me then I could ever describe. Ever since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to make my living by making things! At first, I thought that just meant being a Youtuber, like every cringy middle schooler does, but now...I think I get it... I've always wanted to be able to make things, and for those things to make OTHER people happy. Make them laugh, make them cry, make them smile, and make their days just a little bit brighter.

I've...long since given up that old dream... I just didn't think it was possible, not for me anyways. But you all proved me wrong. Every comment, every meme, every bit of art you guys make...proves me wrong. When I got my first bit of fanart, I cried at my monitor. Because for the first time in so long that I can't even remember, I was happy. I was so, so happy, because it genuinely felt like this dream that I've had since I was a kid was finally possible. Someone discovered something I made, and enjoyed it enough, loved it enough, got invested enough, to make something themselves just to show me and everyone else just how much they loved it.... And it made me happy, so, so damn happy.

So thank you. Thank you all so much for everything you do. Thank you for reading, commenting, replying, suggesting, joking, laughing, creating, and expressing with me. It means more than you'll ever know. And even if I don't end up pursuing writing after this, my life will never be the same, thanks to all of you.

If you're reading this, right here, right now, YOU, yes YOU... Thank you...for everything you do. And even if you don't think so, I think you're one of the most amazing people in this ass-backwards galaxy of ours. Thank you.

Now then, on to specific thanks:

u/Bow-tied_Engineer: You were literally the first person to tell me that this fic was a good idea. If you hadn't been there in the comments, I might not have gone through with it. And even since then, you've still been an absolute chad. We might not have the same taste in romance sub-plots, but I'll always respect you and your takes. Thank you, for giving me the confidence to give this a try.

u/CaptainChristopher02: The man himself. Your fic, "My Floridian Arxur Daughter" as well as "My Brazilian Arxur Nursery" were, as stated before, the very first fic I read on the sub. And your work was the first tiny spark that slowly became NoaHM. I've said it multiple times, and I'll say it again, if there was no "Arxur Daughter", there would be no "Homeless Musician". When I first started writing, I didn't even think I'd ever even meet you, but the fact that I have, and that you've joined my own little community of music and Tohba memes means the world to me.

u/VeryUnluckyDice: Reading through "Playing By Ear" for the first time was an experience I'll never forget. It was so interesting and different to almost everything else on the sub at the time except "Venlil Metal". You've done so much to inspire me and my work and even now, you're still an absolute chad and someone this community just wouldn't be the same without. I'm really looking forward to the day when our two stories really do cross. It'll be a grand sonata of sound the likes of which this sub has never seen, I just know it!

u/JulianSkies: Ever since you first started commenting on my chapters, you have been an absolutely ENDLESS source of positivity, helpful advice, information on the setting, proofreading, and all around good vibes. I always look forward to seeing what you have to say on the most recent post, and I hope you decide to stick around for whatever comes next. Thank you.

u/xskipy10: Good lord, where to even begin with you? Before, when I mentioned that first bit of fanart that made me cry, that was YOUR artwork. And that one picture, of Michael and the rest of the main cast has had such an enormous impact on not just me, but the rest of the sub as a whole. It was that one picture that gave me hope that the dream I've had since I was a kid was possible. It was your artwork of Tohba that, TO THIS DAY, Dovah is still using to award people who beat him to the precious title of "SPEED". I mean it when I say you are an absolute treasure, not just to me and my story, but to the entire NoP community.

u/OmegaOmnimon02: Before there was GuyWhoExists, there was Omega, the fastest memer in The West. You were the architect of the origianl "Rejoice! Tohba Be Upon Ye" meme, and it has since been used to this day as a form of mutual celebration for all. You've been one of my avid supporters for a long time now, and seeing another of your shitposts in the Discord never fails to brighten my day. Thank you for all that you do.

u/DOVAHCREED12: I swear, if you aren't SPEED when this post drops, I'm gonna be so disappointed. Jokes aside, I have loved and appreciated every single Venbig hug I have ever received from you. Back when I first started writing this, the "Official Venbig Seal Of Approval" was this vaunted, holy, symbol that a lowly peasant such as myself would never be able to earn. And then one appeared in my comments and it felt like freaking Christmas. Thank you so much for giving my story a chance.

u/Ben_Elohim_2020: I'll never get over just how hilarious our first meeting was. What was meant to be a quick one-to-two chapter long side trip with some shady dude in an alley completely spiraled into a giant, five-part, spat with the actual Space Mafia known as The Family. While the Twilight Valley Arc was divisive for a lot of people reading, I hope you know I had a MASSIVE amount of fun writing it with you, and I can't wait to see where you're future projects lead.

Papyroo: (Sorry, I can't remember your new Reddit name) Along with Omega, I've always looked forward to seeing what you have to say when it comes to my fic. And the impact you've had on my story can't be overstated. The Ficnapping you did is the reason that Tohba now has his blue "Tiwfish" plushie. And the events of your addition to my canon will continue to be referenced and fondly looked back on by my characters for a long time to come.

u/Spacer_Catgirl4969: I remember a time when you were still SpacerNEKO. You were always one of my most avid commenters way back when, and I always appreciated your kind words. And I still can't express how cool it was that you actually made a pixel art music video for Dohkar. It still holds up, even now. You and Guywhoexists should TOTALLY work on a project together. With your combined pixel art skills, who knows what's possible?!

u/Mini-Tonk: Well, if it isn't the Rat boi, himself. You have never once faltered in your efforts to not only support my work, but also protect Tohba from the shadows. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and you canonically making ME a character in your fic is still hilarious and heartwarming. Thank you for everything you do.

u/Guywhoexists2812: While you are one of the newest members of our little NoaHM family, that hasn't stopped you from being one of the most active and creative folks we have to offer. The sheer amount of memes and pixel art you've created is downright INSPIRATIONAL. Along with Skipy, whenever someone comes up with a cute idea for art, I know you'll find some way to pull through. Keep creating, King. You are no mere "Guy". You are a KING who exists!

And of course, u/SpacePaladin15 for creating this awesome universe to begin with, without whom, none of use would be here right now.

There are two other names missing on this list, but that's mostly because I'm currently working on a project with them and I don't want to spoil anything...yet.

And speaking of future projects! ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!!!!

It's been one hell of a wild ride, hasn't it? But I tell you this: THE RIDE AIN'T OVER YET!!!!! But...it will be slowing down for a while...

After working on this story for so long, (especially that triple upload. GOD, what was I thinking?!) I am in dire need of rest. So, for now, I will be going on about a month-long hiatus from posting, except for a small occasion here and there. I'll still be active in the community, especially on Discord, but you won't get any big story updates for a while.

Does this mean that I'm done and the story's over? No.

This was but the first arc in the tale of Michael Ruiz Andrews and his family. There will INDEED be MOAR!!!

More music! More hijinks! More action! More romance! More drama! More touching family moments! And, of COURSE, MORE TOHBA!!!!

There will be MOAR!!! Just not yet. My Hiatus will officially start tomorrow after a belated NoaHM Mother's Day Special. I also have a Father's Day Special planned for next month as well. But other than the occasional announcement post, you won't be getting anything story-related out of me until my break is over and I'm ready to unveil the next project I and three other creators have been working on. I won't say anything more on the project, but I will say to keep an eye out...

"But Otto!", I hear you ask.

"If there won't be any more big story updates, how will I get my fix of Baby-roo induced dopamine?! My brain requires more Tohba and Ven-floof memes to give me the goody good chemicals!!!"

Well my friend, I have just the solution for you!!! A SHAMELESS SELF-PLUG!!!

Most of you may already know, but Nature Of A Homeless Musician has its OWN DISCORD SERVER!!!!!!

We've got MEMES, STORY IDEAS, FOOD SO FULL OF LOVE THAT MAMA-ROO HERSELF COULD'VE MADE IT!

We got fanart, gaming chats, and we even plan the occasional movie night!

As well, as soon as this post goes live, I'll be adding a new channel specifically for Q&A and Trivia!
For Example:

Did you know that NoaHM was originally meant to only be ten chapters long?

Did you know Trilly and Dailo were created entirely on accident?

Did you know that the events of the FINALE have been remade, reorganized, and rewritten at LEAST four times?

Did you know...THAT TOHBA WAS BASED OFF A REAL PERSON?!

All of these things are true! And if you want to learn more about the making of this series, direct from my brain, the come on in and ask away!

All I ask in return is that you follow the rules I've laid out a generally not be a jerk. We're here to have fun and be wholesome, so let's keep it that way. I hope to see you there!

https://discord.gg/YSysvHHx

And now, lastly, here's nearly EVERY single meme bit of fanart I've received:

And once again, from the bottom of my heart, with all the love I can muster, thank you.

2024.05.14 03:11 altmemer5 Im enjoy the resurrgence of popularity of Fallout but its a lil disappointing seeing content creators who know nothing abt the games get more attention than established content creators.

I dont wanna sound like Im gatekeeping cuz Im not tryna but like seeing so many youtubers not know what theyre talking bout hurts 😭.
Like these ppl are making theories abt stuff that we alr know abt/comfirmed canon. Or some are straight up wrong. Like I saw theory that at the end of the Fallout TV show, (Hank went to an Enclave City instead of them saying New Vegas). Or them saying theres atleast 200 Vaults (Theres only a 120). Just overall pls read the Wiki 😭

2024.05.14 03:11 inthearmsofdyl Dream Segments

I got a little bit of sleep after depriving myself of it for many hours last night and this morning.
I was in a white victorian room, my attention on the door. I wanted to take pictures of it. I was being harassed by a disturbing man or two, picking a cream cheese danish and stale cream puffs off the floor. There was something blue on the floor, along with another thing, which I forgot. I fell back asleep right after memorizing it, earlier. It had something to do with Layne Staley.
I found a pack of ocean spray yogurt raisins, liking the faded packaging too. I went to the library not long after this, preoccupied with a stack of books there. Just like heaven, was the one I was able to remember.
Outside my house, the manhole cover was removed. Down inside of it was full of several ones, on the ground and piled around. Victorian font on the front.
I had a nightmare, as the zombie apocalypse was happening. I was sitting in a victorian-esque house, next to the main floor. It had a gothic stairway in the center of the floor, flat stairs. It would've been a mansion, then. I was sitting in a gaming chair a foot away, seeing the zombies come inside and attack the people I was with. A woman was wearing vintage lingerie, 80s. Teddy bodysuit. I heard a voice talk over the scene, saying the lingerie was from '78-79-80-81.' I feel like he went from '82 to '84, but he stopped slowly at '81. In my house, a industrial gothic video game was on. I watched my little brother play it, thinking about the soundtrack. Seemed like 16volt would be on it. There was a remote control attached to my gaming chair, I instantly noticed. The dream turned towards my abusive family members on my dad's side, for yet another time. I was now in a room with my mom, looking into a fridge. I saw syrup inside it. A few pink lemonade syrup cans. There was probably a white-regular lemonade as well. I took a pink one, wanting a drink. My aunt who doesn't like me; my dad's sister, who hates us all, came into the room. I would think they would be fake to us if he was still alive. That'd be the more likely scenario where they'd pour us a drink; do something courteous for us. Insecurely, unwelcome my mom felt. As always, around them. My mom, the leo. Passive and left out when near that family. My cousins were nearby, which I could feel the energy of one of them.
I lastly, found myself laying on my mom's bed with my partner. Fruit salad by the wiggles was playing or talked about, for some reason. We were laughing, drawing letters onto a paper notebook. The shapes looked erotic/suggestive, and that somehow was arousing. I drew a 'M'
I had drew the left start of the m square, instead of victorian and delicate. I said, 'Touch my boobies while I do it..' Waking right up after.

2024.05.14 03:09 CalyWitsune The Games That Scared Me Away

Long time lurker, first time redditoposter. I've been listening and reading a lot of these horror stories and figured it might be fun to share mine.
I haven't actually played a game of DnD or DnD adjacent since about 2020/2021, mostly because of what transpired during the games I actually did play before that. I love the concept, I love creating characters and stories and worlds, but I get a pit in my stomach when I actually try to play again.
I had my first opportunity to play DnD my freshman year of college. I dropped in on the campus tabletop club and I was quite anxious. I was the only girl in the room, everyone seemed to have known each other or clicked well, but I wanted to branch out of my comfort zone. The first night went well! We played a very quick heist one shot where we made a character with one flaw and one interesting trait. Through unfortunate rolls and circumstances, we had a TPK, but it was a fun time. I was invited afterwards to join a Pathfinder campaign that a few of the members were going to start up for the new semester, and so I scheduled a time to meet with the DM and create my first full fledged character.
Now, the DM was kind of eccentric, a little whack if you will but very excited to help me make my first character. I thought he was just goofy and really into the game. God I wish I picked up on all the red flags that would come.
He first asked me what kind of race I'd like to play as. I had always been drawn to tiefling characters because I liked the aesthetic. His eyes lit up at that for some reason. Then he asked what class I'd like; if I'd like to be primarily a support or tank or what have you. I didn't want to get overwhelmed in my first game and thought support might be nice. I could watch how combat worked while just keeping everyone going and buffed. I said let's try bard! The grin that crept up on his face...
He immediately started talking about how saucy that would be, how my character would be so flirty and fun. I expressed some discomfort in having my character immediately fall into the "h*rny bard" category I had seen meme'd on so much, but he laughed and waved it off by saying he "was a theater kid in high school! Everyone was super h*orny and making out backstage all the time. It just comes with the environment!" Being a new player, and wanting to fit in, I pushed down my discomfort and thought okay, I'll play her as a joke character I guess.
For awhile it was fine, I got to play her as a dancelyre player who was part of a traveling circus. Nothing weird was coming up the first few sessions. Most of the other PCs either joined together by taking quests from the town job board, or had ties built in to their backstory. My first red flag should have been that the DM, despite constantly raving about all his planning, was frequently skipping around the story. He would suddenly decide the plot point we were on wasn't interesting enough for some reason, and just throw us into another scenario. We left so many lose ends because he just didn't feel like finishing them, regardless of if we were engaging in it or not. But hey, he's the DM right? That's what I thought, he had the right to change it. I had no prior experience to see this was just bad DMing.
We ended up joining an archery competition as we were tempted by a mystery grand prize. At the sign up table, out of nowhere, the DMPC attending to registration suddenly starts flirting with my character. I got flustered in a negative way because this DM got very into character (giving me looks, leaning in as he spoke to me, the whole shebang). I panicked, all of a sudden being the focus of a room full of men seeing how I'd react to it. I again, stupidly, went along with it. I had her (nervously) flirt back lightly, and I was relieved it didn't go much further at that point. Skipping to the end of the archery competition, my bard ended up in the final two and sabotaged an assassination on the town's mayor mid competition. The party was invited to a celebratory dinner at the mayor's house afterwards, where we once again ran into the NPC that flirted with my character at registration. He invited her to bed, and again I got extremely uncomfortable and flustered. None of this was discussed beforehand, nor was I even asked if I was comfortable with such topics before joining the campaign. The guys at the table were egging me on, and I felt pressured to accept. With a few hoots and hollers, we had a fade to black scene (thank god). I went home feeling very icky, but convinced myself I was being a wimp. And the table had enjoyed my antics that night, so I should be grateful.
I had the thought between sessions to write in a childhood friends to lovers interest for my bard to try and avoid any more unexpected encounters like that again, thinking if the DM had another character to play as with some personal tie to my bard, that would make be feel better about the interactions. He was brought up once, where I milked the f*ck out of my character's attachment to him, hoping to drive home that this was juicy potential relationship to build over the campaign. He never came up again during that campaign. The DM also completely disregarded many of the notes I gave him detailing this love interest's personality, and took many 'creative liberties' with him, but not enough where I would decide to say something.
Another few sessions happened where we struggled through the DMs inconsistent storytelling and jumping around to whatever plot point had his interest at the moment. He was constantly putting us in fights we could not hope to win, way too challenging for our lvl. 1-3 party. We often sat around the table in disappointment and defeat as we got absolutely destroyed by monsters (no one being able to land hits for sometimes 3-4 rounds at a time because of how high the AC or CR was), while the DM laughed and basked in the dreary nature of the table. He would usually eventually fudge rolls to give us an out when we were close to TPKs. He even gave us a deck of many things and insisted our PCs "felt compelled" to pull cards despite the players disagreeing they that wanted to. He attempted to force my character to drastically change her alignment to an evil one for shits and giggles because of one card pull (later allowed me to ignore it because I didn't even WANT to use the deck), and got three of us killed by having them pull a card that summoned the highest CR monster you could use.
One night he texts the group chat that he decided he's done running that story, and wants to run another one shot instead. We had one last session to "close" that first campaign and discuss the one shot options. During our meeting, he gleefully admitted to me that he had planned for my bard to get PREGNANT in that one night stand with the NPC from the archery competition. Not only did he plan to do that without my consent or knowledge, he had planned for it to be a HAG baby that would have entirely f*cked my PC up (he explained it as the man having been a witch in disguise or something?? And said that's how hags are made? Which to my knowledge is entirely incorrect. Maybe it was a homebrew rule, but regardless, I was mortified. And now very grateful he lost interest in that campaign).
Moving on to the one shot, another player decided to try DMing, and so the Problem DM had a chance to be a PC, yay! He privately messaged me and asked if I'd be interested in connecting our characters and their backstories. I said yes and we got to work. We spent a few nights discussing their dynamic and I was really excited to go into this game. Well, come the night of the session, we were going around the table introducing our characters. The Problem DM went before me, and introduced an entirely different character than the one we discussed, and one that would often almost kill us during the one shot (to which the guy would cackle and mock us for getting upset each time). I asked him what happened to our plan, and he said earlier that day he decided he wanted to do something different. I sighed and let it go, because at least it was just a one shot and my character could still function without his connection to the other PC. Another one shot where the Problem DM got to be a PC, he seemed to make it his goal to be the biggest asshole to everyone else's character. My PC was an archaeologist, and when she excitedly discovered some old pottery in a dungeon, he had his PC run up and smash everything and laugh in her face.
The next campaign we tried that had issues was a Starfinder campaign. Our party was considered its own crew for a space ship, plus one DMPC that was placed into the mix supposedly to help us if we fell short, since we were all unfamiliar with Starfinder and spaceship battle mechanics. She was honestly a really cool character! And we had one or two sessions to establish the story and how the crew interacted. Now, this was my mistake, not taking any of the other creepy habits of the DM into consideration, but I offhandedly mentioned to the table at large that my PC (a woman) might be developing a crush on this DMPC (also a woman). They had gone through a lot together in-game at that point and it felt natural. The next session, you'll never guess, the DMPC started flirting hard core with my character. I was confused and asked the DM what that was about, as we had never had any interactions between those two that would be read as romantic. Even if I mentioned my character was crushing, she had never let it on, and the DMPC had never indicated she felt a similar pull as well. The DM didn't really have an explanation, just that apparently in-universe, the DMPC had been flirting more and more with my character since their last adventure together alone. I thought, okay, I guess...
Honestly? What transpired would have been an insanely cool plot twist if we had had the time to actually roleplay and develop the relationship between my character and the DMPC, as well as the crew at large and the DMPC. She ended up being part of a cult that wanted to steal an artifact we had acquired. She was apparently trying to 'romance' my PC because my PC was the one who often guarded the artifact, and needed her to let her guard down. It would have been a super impactful betrayal, but it was literally only a handful of sessions between the first meeting, and the plot twist. We just had to trust the DMs word that we had all gotten super attached to her between actual session meetings and we all should feel like we were stabbed in the back by this trusted individual. And I especially should feel heartbroken because she never really was interested in me anyway.
Later on down the line, despite some very interesting story points, it got creepy again. Our PCs ended up being sucked into a death game show, and isolated from the outside world while being broadcast to universal TV stations. At some point we were all given access to the internet after a few weeks in isolation to search up anything we wanted. Everyone searched up their names among other things. The DM described us finding our newly formed fanbases. He described the other PCs fanbases (men played by men) as having hot debates on their intelligence and decisions during the show, or bets on if they'd be the last ones standing; that sort of stuff. He described my fanbase as leering creeps saying the most unhinged things about what they wanted my PC to do to them s*xually, as well as some spreading photos of my PC without her face covering (she was a Kasatha, which canonically keep their mouths covered. But she had been forced to remove it briefly when it almost waterboarded her after she fell into a river).
Eventually, we weren't able to meet consistently enough to warrant running campaigns anymore, and I fell out of touch with all involved. Oh, we also lost a player at some point right after he confessed to me and I declined his interest.
I went another year not playing before another friend group of mine invited me to play as a guest character. I thought this would be a nice way to ease back into the game slowly after my horrid experiences before. Rather than make an entirely new character for one or two sessions, I brought back my tiefling bard because I still really liked her character, and had started to reshape her personality without being pressured to have her be a s*xual chess piece. The new DM dropped my character in a labyrinth their current party had been trapped in for awhile. I was made to be a level or two higher and be an ally they encountered to help them escape. We did, it was fun! But I was only there as a guest, and had only planned my character to be in one to two sessions before leaving. I was consistently mentioning to the party that my PC would be leaving as soon as they get to her major city, but either they didn't think I was serious or didn't remember. I may have been convinced to come on full time, but unfortunately, history repeats itself. We got to a session where the party got to a tavern and drowned their sorrows and nursed their labyrinth bruises with beer, and the idea of a threesome was thrown in the air between my PC and two others. Now, half of this group were dating someone else in the group, and seemed very comfortable roleplaying casual s*x between their PCs because of it. They started a damn chant pressuring me to say yes, already trying to roleplay it, and I felt sick. I was too anxious at the idea of saying no with how aggressive everyone was for me to agree, so I tried to "roll for yes or no" as an out; the dice failed me, and it rolled a number assigned to yes. I was very quiet the rest of the session, and afterwards messaged the DM that I want my character to leave at the beginning of the next session.
The DM then tried to convince me to stay, despite me saying a clear no multiple times within the same conversation. They begged me to stay saying the party loved my PC a lot, and they would hate to lose me. When they finally relented, they then tried to smoothly transition to talk of making me a new character so I could permanently stay with the party, without compromising my bards story and decision. I kind of got on their case about that, and told them to stop pressuring me and I did not want to play with that group anymore. Eventually, they gave up, but not without some low key guilt tripping.
I tried playing with one more group after this, and while it didn't get creepy, it was also a disappointment as none of the players seemed to care besides me and the DM, despite everyone having encouraged starting the game because they wanted to learn how to play for the first time. Players slowly started ghosting us, drama happened between two players that joined just to have an excuse to talk and try and date (which ended up very messy and they both left), and the new players would get angry at me or the DM if they got confused with the rules or combat dynamics (the wizard rushed ahead of me, the tank barbarian, and then acted like it was my fault when they nearly got killed in the first round because "the tank is supposed to protect the damage dealers").
The DM and I stayed in contact after all the other players ghosted the chat, and ended up bringing over some other new players who had also played before, and re hauled the campaign. This one had so much promise...then quarantine hit, and we couldn't keep up with regular meetings.
At this point, with all my games ending with creeps, messy player dynamics or falling through, I decided maybe these kinds of games weren't for me.
I have new friends now inviting me to play, who have very functional groups (experienced professional DMs, closeknit friend groups, long-running campaigns), but I am too wary to accept any more offers for games, despite deep down really wanting to try again and be part of something I know can be amazing. Maybe I will one day, but until then, I just have these horror stories to think about.

2024.05.14 03:08 PyukumukuTrainer [PC][LATE 90S/EARLY00s(?)] A game that traumatised me but am not sure if it was a children's game.

Alright so when I was a child I had a stack of older PC games including things like LEGO Loco and Pyjama Sam n stuff.
One of these games in this stack I do just not remember anything about what it's called or what the goal was all i know is certain scenes that terrified me as a child.
Let me describe the scenes i remember.
I remember a bedroom door opening and being in total darkness having to walk down a stairs or hallway, legit felt like a horror game but looked like a kids game.
A bridge you have to cross. Outside in orange sunlight.
And a dying or game over screen where you see hospital bed and a heart monitor. It's really unsettling. I do not recall for certain but i think the character was in the bed?
The characters were odd, weird humanoid animals.
They were i think black mice humans? I'm unsure what they were. Their bodies were round like snowmen almost. Their hands were also just round balls, very much like how young children draw them. This game was not 2d it was 3D if i am correct. I've been searching this game for years.
The sound i remember it being distorted or scary but I genuinely do not remember if that's just the trauma talking XDDDDDD. This game absolutely terrified me, I still believe it was a children's game however or at least the looks of the graphics and such was child aimed.
Edit : i remembered another detail if I'm correct it also had a character with a tricolour hat like the stereotypical thing with the little propeller on it?

2024.05.14 03:05 bigmakbm1 AMD - Wireless VR and Compression

Hey guys. I am absolutely loving my Reverb G2 as my main headset, but I have also been trying to get my Quest 2 working somewhat decently for Wireless PCVR. I have a Puppis X1 and can connect 1200/1200. The problem is I can not get decent quality no matter what I mess with in VD, the compression is always there.
If I set it to 500mbps, I get issues where I turn my head in game and I get black borders on the vertical sides as there is a frame missing. I can usually get an ok experience at 200, but man the artifacts are driving me crazy. I know you can not trust most content creators who never talk about it, and it never shows on the desktop window as it is a through the lens only problem. I have been told that is the decoder in the Quest that can not keep up with the encoder, so nothing much I can do?
I have a decent CPU, a 7800X3D and a decent GPU - 7900XTX. At launch a year ago the XTX was having some serious driver issues that was fixed about mid summer, and I have more or less had a great experience, some games like Vertigo Remastered for some reason I can not run it smoother anthing higher than graphics 3. More graphical games like Arizona Sunshine 2 I can run maxed out with my G2 native resolution.
So back to it, how is everyone's experience with artifacts using wireless PCVR? I know that it can be somewhat mitigated but others act like there is nothing (although they may need to have used a DP headset to notice).
Others have said it is only AMD cards that do not do wireless PCVR as good as Nvidia, and that is why I have put it in the title to get feedback from other Radeon users. My last rig had a 6800xt and that gave me no issues but I never messed with wireless PCVR much.

2024.05.14 03:05 SSCMaster Evolution. Fact, Fiction, or somewhere in between?

The theory of evolution has been bandied about for decades as the answer to how humans came to exist, as well as how many other species also came to exist. While there is evidence of evolution in the purely "look, there was this creature in the record, and now we have this creature, they look similar" sense, no actual in between stage has ever been verified. There is no partially evolved specimen to have ever been found and verified to be that partially evolved form between the older organism and the newer one. While this certainly does not discount evolution, I find it extremely arrogant for scientists to insist that evolution MUST be the only explanation, without being able to provide that complete and incontrovertable proof. Science should never teach something as Fact, while it has not yet been completely proven. As an aside, I find no reason that, if evolution is indeed proven, that it should cause any issues with faith. If you believe in a Creator that is actually all knowing, why should this being not be using a natural system, such as evolution, to create living creatures? Do we ourselves not do so virtually in games and systems? Creating first a lower product and seeing how it changes, inducing changes perhaps ourselves in our simulations? It seems to me that many people become very hostile, with no true need to be.
PS. If someone does have evidence that the scientific community at large HAS discovered and revealed such a specimen and I am mistaken, please share it. (verified only. archaeopteryx, contrary to belief is NOT a verified specimen that proves this. There is no firm indication that the creature was anything more than a new type of dinosaur found, especially considering that many dinosaurs did have feathers. Please cite only verified and firm discoveries. I am more than happy to be proven wrong.)

2024.05.14 03:02 FARTSNIFFER9051 Why Oogie Boogie vs Alastor still holds up 3: Shitty debunks never die

Why Oogie Boogie vs Alastor still holds up 3: Shitty debunks never die
Wow, thank you so much Dependent Ad for this completely pointless and repetitive debunk! I'm getting sick of this so let's get it over with. This is like the third one, sorry if my points are redundant but this debunk itself is redundant.
“Both are sadistic, power-hungry, charismatic and man-eating villains from animated media who have a 1930s aesthetic (Oogie Boogie is based on Cab Calloway. Who was at the height of his popularity in the 1930s; Alastor was alive around the time period and was a radio host).”
The first bit about their personalities is fine, it’s not particularly wrong, just a bit generic. That being said, the 1930s aesthetic is a pretty big stretch on Oogies end given it’s entirely based on inspiration and very little to do with Oogies character. Nothing to do with his looks, mannerism, or presentation screams 1930s. This is comparing someone loosely based on someone from the 1930s to someone dying in the 1930s. Granted, this isn’t a super important connection that keeps the MU afloat so it’s not a big deal but still not a great start.
-Fair enough then
“Both exist in magical alternate dimensions from ours filled with creepy creatures and people (Halloween Town; Hell).”
Firstly of all, what person is in hell? There’s not a single one and I only bring this up because you actually specified. Second, comparing Halloween Town to actual hell is kinda funny. Yes, both are dimensions with monsters, but that’s where the similarities end. Halloween town is a place that’s made to uphold Halloween and keep the holiday afloat. Hell on the other hand is a barely functioning society that was made by accident and is now used to punish sinners for all of eternity. Also halloween town isn’t an alternate version of our world, nothing about it is similar aside from having a community.
-Nitpick much? What do you fucking want me to say? “They live in creepy alternate dimensions with the citizens having contrasting behavior”. Oh wait, you complain about me pointing out the differences in the connections anyway. So I guess it's just a fucking lose-lose for me am I right?
“Both are animal-like creatures (Oogie Boogie is a talking sack of bugs; Alastor is a deer dude).”
Not entirely wrong. Oogie is an actual sack of bugs while Al is more demon then deer but the connection still stands, it’s just kinda boring and not entirely true.
-Fair enough
“While they are intimidating and powerful they still have minions to help them, whether they want to serve them or not (Lock, Shock and Barrel are known as "Oogie's Boys". They're incredibly loyal to Oogie Boogie; Husk and Niffty souls are both owned by Alastor. And because of that Husk genuinely despises Alastor).”
Ummmm, what? You’re comparing kids that follow oogie boogie around and do his dirty work, to what can be described as Alastors slaves. Ignoring that Alastor has actual summons that fit Oogies boys better, this isn’t a connection that goes further then “they have underlings” and even then that’s a stretch. It’s not even like it’s that good of a contrast given that, again, it’s kids who like oogie vs actual slaves.
-What summons apparently Oogie's Boys better? Also I don't see how they're not similar in concept.
“Both before the events of the main story they tried obtaining high social power, with one failing while the other succeeded (Oogie Boogie tried taking over Halloween Town and mix it with his own bug themed holiday, turning it into Crawloween, but failed; Alastor when he was sent to hell started killing off the Other Overlords until he reached the top and became the strongest Overlord in Hell).
Why is this framed as a connection when it’s a contrast? One that’s fine on paper, until you get into the finer details of their worlds. Oogie wanted to rule over halloween town, which would basically give him full control over the holiday of halloween. Alastor on the other hand wanted to be the strongest OVERLORD in hell. This is important cause in the grand scheme of things, an Overlord is not super powerful in hell. It’s the strongest a sinner can get but they’re like mid tiers. Alastor also isn’t the strongest overlord, with Zestial and Carmine being the strongest with it being implied him and vox are about even. It is never stated that Alastor is the strongest overlord, but that he got into a position of power very quickly. In political terms, it’s comparing Oogie wanting to be president to Alastor wanting to be a CEO, which isn’t a bad comparison but falls apart when you look at it just a little closer.
-Pretty nitpicky point to make since while the roles they're trying to get are different they're still doing the same fucking thing. Isn't that what fucking matters?
“Both became infamous in these dimensions because of this, but whether willingly or not they started to lie low (Oogie Boogie was banished from Halloween Town and so lives in the outskirts of it; Alastor after murdering every Overlord completely disappeared from the public scene for [as of now] unknown reasons).”
Ah yes, being run out of town and being banished vs basically taking a vacation. Now I’ll be nice here, lets assume that the popular theory that Alastor was lilith's lap dog for the 7 years he was gone, seeing that’s the most popular theory as of right now. It would now be Oogie being run out vs Alastor being a slave in a different dimension. Is it better? Kinda. Is it good? No not at all. And keep in mind, this is me being nice and going with the popular theory of where Al was, meaning even if it was spot on true it would STILL need to be taken with a grain of salt because it is a theory. At best, it’s a comparison thats relies on a theory to stay afloat. At worst, a shit comparison thats barely comparable.
-How? They're both leaving town and the public scene! It's the fucking same in concept.
“Both ended up showing back up when the kind hearted but naïve ruler protagonists of these worlds needed help with their plans (Jack Skellington when he got Oogie Boogie's minions Lock, Shot and Barrel to kidnap Santa Claus; Charlie Morningstar when she needed up to get the Happy Hotel up and running).”
Oogie doesn’t even show up, like at all. Not once does Oogie ever actually directly help Jack. The very first time they meet in the movie they try to kill each other. Meanwhile Alastor is one of Charlies closet friends, does everything for her, and is acting more like the cool step dad that tries to replace her real dad. Once again, that’s barely comparable.
-He controls Lock, Shock and Barrel and tells them what to do
“[IDK if I should or shouldn't remove this connection, but] Both ended up betraying the protagonists (Lock, Shot and Barrel sending Santa Claus to Oogie Boogie's lair even though they promised to not involve Oogie Boogie in Jack's plan; Hazbin Hotel hasn't gotten there yet but Viv has said that Alastor will betray Charlie).”
I’m not gonna bring up the fact that this uses something that hasn’t happened yet, my alastor MU does the same thing and it does say that it has not happened yet. No, what I’m going to bring up is that viv never said anything about Alastor eventually betraying Charlie. Yes anyone with the slightest bit of foresight knows he 100% will betray her but viv has never confirmed it.
-Fair enough
Ending Thoughts:
As you can tell, none of these connections work well and all of them have at least something wrong with them. They’re at best stretched and at worst flat out wrong. But Connections aren’t everything, so let’s move onto the fight potential.
-In conclusion literally everything I fucking said in the last rebunk applies here and I'm sick of this shit. What the fuck was even the point of this Debunk? Do you have a hate boner for Oogielastor so much you just had to create this?
Fight Potential: Lets look at Alastor's kit first:
Alastor has quite a bit, we haven’t seen everything he can do but we’ve seen that hes a very skilled fighter, being able to work from most ranges but generally likes to keep distance with this minions and tentacles. He also has portal creation, size changing, and fire manipulation. He has an overall fencer style of fighting, opting to bait and punish if he can’t simply just overpower who he’s fighting. Now lets look at what oogie has
Oogie has…fists. And can throw some pumpkins. He also has a shadow, that can also throw pumpkins. And ghosts that do nothing. And can grow big.
-I'll give you that
Ok so one thing I think people don’t understand is everything Oogie can do is very limited given how he’s far more of a trap character with his house having his more interesting shit. Only problem is that there is absolutely NO way the fight could realistically take place there. Alastor is stuck in hell, and has no way to get out. Yes there are ways to leave hell, Lucifer and I.M.P. have shown this but alastor has no way to do so. Oogie meanwhile can’t go to hell, and even if he does go to hell after he dies, well then he just doesn’t have his shit cause they’re in halloween town.
-You act like this issue doesn't apply to every fucking Alastor MU. Have you heard of this new concept DB totally hasn't done before called creative goddamn liberties?
So this would have to take place in a random place where oogie wouldn’t get his traps, so what are we left with? A sack of bugs that can punch, grow in size, and throw pumpkins. Riving I know. And that kaiju fight everyone talks about I doubt would even happen.
-If your big deal is that Oogie Boogie doesn't directly have reality warping magic I think you're surely mistaken https://youtu.be/p2aGTiIjFqk?si=U-Rw_MO7Q6M7TxLm I know it's a fucking commercial before you say anything but DB literally used GBA games for Scooby Doo so don't act like that. Idk how to describe it what I'm trying to say but you can bullshit up Oogie Boogie's abilities since FUCKING DB HAS DONE IT FOR THE SAKE OF ANIMATION POTENTIAL!!!!
Yes, they can grow in size, but Al almost never does. He did so to threaten vox, and against the loan sharks to prove a point. You want to know what he would do? Summon a fuck load of tenticals to just rip oogie apart. Which brings me to the next point.
-Oh yeah, Alastor totally wouldn't do that and want you said is true and accurate based off one fucking scene. And the debate totally reflects how the fight would go down. Omniman vs Homelander & SF Aquaman vs SpongeBob totally don't show that AP isn't affected by the debate.
Debate: So the numbers for alastor are very skewed but lets go ahead and use his lowest end, Town Level and Hypersonic. Keep in mind this is Alastors absolute lowest end. Oogie on the other hand is…Wall Level and Superhuman. No matter what, Alastor fucking SLAUGHTERS. Now I have heard that this includes Kingdom Hearts Oogie, so lets look at that. For this lets use Alastor's absolute highest end and say that it’s true. It’s not but lets say it is just this one time: Planet and 4000c (MFTL+). Anyway oogie is Multi and IMM in speed. No matter what, it’s a complete stomp with the only “““Debate””” being if oogie would get kingdom hearts scaling.
-Why are you even bringing this up? It's a matter of person if a stomp affects their enjoyment of a MU. This isn't some objective issue so what was the point other than you not having anything original to say?
In conclusion I hope someone will actually fucking read this shit instead of ignoring it and making another pointless Oogielastor debunk. Bye

2024.05.14 02:58 meseeksfan 36 [M4F] #Koreatown - I'm looking for a Geeky and Nerdy female friend, hopefully a romantic level connection.

I'm Introverted, quiet, master-otaku, and love journaling (though it's mostly on my phone-notepad nowadays). Never beating the feel of pages and ink though 📚). But insanity have disrupted my writings and stuff which....really sucks.
Speaking of insanity, another thing that I enjoy is going to my group therapy sessions, Really like my peers (they're my people☮️🏝️). Sometimes I don't wanna go when having one of those days, but more times than none, usually glad..
Love music, that's my go-to hobby. I'm one of those cats that rewind melodies in musical pieces I like a bunch of times🤣. Music touches me in ways that's hard to explain.
Trying to be a good Christian in my faults. Learning Life and laughing at the misadventures. Off the grid.
Probably write better than talking....I don't know, sometimes I have my talkative days. Like trivia (but maybe better at behind the scenes stuff about Video Game, Manga, Movies, and music type trivia). I like playing video games. My favorites are the "Metal Gear Solid" series, the "Yakuza" series, "Red Dead Redemption 2", "Control", "Uncharted" series, "Death Stranding", and "Katana Zero", the story heavy stuff (I love cutscenes😊). Like gaming news.
Usually have to reset, as I can't wait to get back home. Movie buff of course with mostly older films. I haven't kept up with the new movies. Some look interesting, I'm just picky, you know....when you seen great movies over the years you kinda.... expect good films because you know they can be.
Will always be a big kid🤪.
I like using emojis. Don't know why.

2024.05.14 02:57 Neat_Finger_6136 AU idea

I want to make an AU where it's Undertale but Frisk's main goal is to only kill Flowey.
I wanted to use names like "BrokenTale" or "ShatteredTale", but those are taken. "ShatterTale" is my best idea, but it's similar to "ShatteredTale".
The story plot is Chara convincing Frisk to open their eyes and be brave enough to see trauma, for they have Phobophobia, the phobia of being phobias. At the end of the Pacifist route, when Flowey is about to end his line "E v e n i f i t m e a n s k i l l i n g y o u *insert number* t i m e s!", a gaster blaster sound plays, with a black screen. "R u n". It shows a scene of Frisk running, then leads to a suicide.
Frisk starts pleasing themself by killing flowers reset after reset. Then, practices to sew on their clothing. "If you kill too many, the next human won't survive the fall.", Chara says.
Eventually, Chara shows Frisk a flower growing on their head, for the amount of resets is corrupting the timeline. Frisk realizes they have to actually finish the story before too many resets, then they will die, flowers growing out of their body. Frisk, with all their practice, sews their eyes shut. Scared to face trauma ever again.
Chara will try to calm down Frisk the whole game. Throughout the whole play through, even in Grillby's, Frisk's face turns into a "=)" face whenever Flowey is mentioned. In the true lab, there will be a soul jar, then Frisk forms an idea. Frisk made an invention where Frisk could take an alive person's soul and give it to a dead person. Other characters will stay the same. Toriel happy, Sans chill, Papyrus cool, Undyne strong. Alphys excited for her date, and Asgore watering plants.
Asriel Dreemurr fight will be corrupted. While the Asriel Dreemurr fight, Chara says Frisk is too focused to kill Flowey, not enough DETERMINATION to save everyone. Frisk only has enough to save one of their friends.
In the end of the pacifist route, if you choose Frisk to hug Asriel, it will result a stab in the back. Soulless pacifist, Asriel defends Chara from Frisk, for Frisk is obviously not happy. Soulless Pacifist can happen by stabbing Asriel in the back, too. Chara will NOT be happy.
I want ideas to stop this AU from being cringe. Any ideas?

2024.05.14 02:41 QuirkyReveal3982 Kaufmo's Abstraction: TADC Film Theory

Kaufmo's Abstraction: TADC Film Theory
Me: 🤓
I have a fun theory and I just joined this page to talk about it. If it has already been referenced, or if information has been given to prove this theory otherwise, feel free to let me know.
In episode 1, when Caine brings Pomni to "The Grounds", he bluescreens while trying to list off activities. The error on the bluescreen is "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". Now, there are hundreds of different blue screen errors, but according to Google, this error code indicates that "invalid system memory has been referenced". Why this code specifically?
I think this is when Kaufmo abstracted. Abstraction seems to be some kind of virus, causing everything it touches to glitch out. In this context, since they’re in a computer, the bluescreen makes sense. I also thought that the description of the error code is a very weird coincidence, considering what’s going on here.
I'm wondering if there is a triggering event for abstraction. I think that Kaufmo might have regained a real-life memory, and since the program (Caine) erases your memories to begin with, it’s considered a fault and causes the abstraction. An invalid system memory has been referenced.
I don't think that Caine alone caused Kaufmo to abstract, I think he abstracted as part of the system programming, like a failsafe.
Call it a hunch, but I think that Jax caused the abstraction, let me explain. He was the last one to see Kaufmo. I think that Jax induced an abstraction by helping Kaufmo regain a real-life memory (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA = invalid system memory has been referenced). How do I think he did this? The bowling ball. Was Kaufmo a bowler? He kinda looks like a bowling pin. And then the art on the Jax pin merch also has a bowling ball in it.
With new information from episode 2, I'm definitely thinking that Jax is an evil NPC, getting back at the "creators" of the game. Why do I think he's an NPC? Other than Caine's ominous reference to getting NPS and humans confused, Jax supposedly has keys to everyone's room, he got the key to the Candy Kingdom somehow, and he breaks the 4th wall.
What do you guys think?
TLDR: I think that when Caine bluescreened, Kaufmo abstracted. Kaufmo remembered a real-life event, causing their abstraction. I think that abstraction is a failsafe for The Amazing Digital Circus, and that Jax caused it.

2024.05.14 02:41 BinaryTinkerer Godot vs Gamemaker

What are some pros and cons of Godot and gamemaker for my first game (my game is going to be terminal based in teaching basic penetration testing) I started in Godot but it’s very confusing with nodes and designing scenes that take the proper data from GDScript files. I come from a 2yr background in Java

2024.05.14 02:39 Total-Ad-2620 Original Trilogy What If - Positive Vibes - Discussion!

Alright, I'mma about to make a ludicrous statement, but stick with me. I wish we could get a remake of the original trilogy.
Now, I think the original trilogy is a masterpiece and should remain as it is, but I would love to see a fully funded movie that's considered Legends/What If/AU that considers all of the retroactive changes to Star Wars.
As a kid, I watched the original trilogy too young and didn't like it all that much. What got me into Star Wars was The Clone Wars and games like Fallen Order.There's a lot of hate out there for the changes these prequels added, and I think that it's at least semi justified simply because so many changes have been made that the original canon struggles to make sense. I personally would love to see a version of the original trilogy that sees all the new characters interact with the first story. How would all of these new beloved characters affect the original canon? I want to hear your thoughts!
If this were ever a thing, what specific moments or scenes would you want to see? What moments would change? I want to know!
