As the title states, (and despite the existential risk to myself - as I am disabled, impoverished, and my survival is reliant on the room I rent in her attic - given her recent threat to have have me thrown out by the police because she could not handle the feelings she had during the argument that she initiated), I have finally drawn a bright red line in the metaphorical sand regarding her treatment of me. This is the culmination of 8+ years of sustained, one-sided, unreciprocated, and unsuccessful effort on my part to sustain, salvage, repair, or improve our "relationship"
 
I've learned a lot from the stories and people on this subreddit, and I know if anyone can understand the way that I'm feeling about this it's you guys.
 
Any input, commentary, criticism, insight, commiseration, etc, is very welcome, and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it.
 
Anyways, enough preamble, here's the letter in all of my ridiculously-verbose inglory (the square-bracketed disclaimers, etc, were part of the letter as delivered to her, since she is selective illiterate whenever there's something she doesn't like):
 
[START]
 
[This document begins with a 382 word AI-generated summary (titled "AI- GENERATED SUMMARY:" below the square-bracketed opening remarks), estimated at 1m23s time required to read. If you are unable or unwilling to make it through even this brief summary, then there is literally nothing else I could possibly do to assist in your comprehension of my positions. The full message following the summary is approximately 2100 words, estimated at approximately 8 minutes to read.]
 
[If you would like assistance in understanding things I've written that you're struggling to interpret or comprehend, you can go to chatgpt.com (no account necessary), or download the ChatGPT app from the Google Play Store on your phone. You can simply interact with the chat in natural language (in other words, type as though you were texting another person) and it will understand what you are saying. If you are struggling to understand how to interact with it effectively, you can simply inform it of that (in any wording you choose) and it will assist you with altering your approach to receive more effective results.]
 
AI-GENERATED SUMMARY:
 
Your son's message is a powerful declaration of his boundaries, grievances, and intentions within your relationship. Here's a breakdown to help you understand:
 
Preface: He advises you to read with an open mind and, if needed, with assistance due to the emotional complexity.
 
Declaration of Disengagement: He firmly states his decision to disengage from any form of interaction or acknowledgment outside of essential landlord-tenant matters.
 
Condemnation of Abuse: He accuses you of perpetuating a cycle of abuse that has deeply impacted his health and stability.
 
Rejection of Coercion: He dismisses the idea that being evicted is a viable solution to the abuse, highlighting the coercive nature of such a choice, and how it leaves him vulnerable to further harm.
 
Criticism of Your Behavior: He unreservedly condemns your actions, particularly your exploitation and manipulation, emphasizing the gravity and effects of your conduct.
 
Challenges to Your Claims: He directly confronts your claims regarding his efforts in the relationship, asserting that he has consistently made extensive attempts to maintain it, despite your accusations to the contrary.
 
Commitment to Compliance: He unequivocally affirms his commitment to compliance with all landlord-related demands, demonstrating his unwavering respect for your authority as the homeowner.
 
Demand for Clarity: He demands clear and unambiguous knowledge of the requisite terms when any changes to living arrangement paradigms are demanded, underscoring his willingness to comply with any directives you may issue.
 
Defense Against Gaslighting: He firmly asserts his unwavering commitment to respecting your property and authority, preemptively refuting any attempts to accuse him otherwise.
 
Insights into Your Behaviour: He offers insights into patterns in your behaviour, linking them to moments of vulnerability or distress in your life.
 
Call for Self-Reflection: He urges you to seek professional help for your narcissism and unresolved childhood traumas.
 
Caution Regarding Gravity: He states that failing to address your responsibilities would be a missed opportunity for both of you to salvage the relationship and resolve underlying issues.
 
Reiteration of Hope: Despite his current stance, he leaves the door open for reconciliation if you undergo necessary personal growth.
 
Closure on Unequal Effort: He firmly states that he can no longer sustain the one-sided effort in the relationship and won't continue to do so.
 
It's evident that he's deeply hurt and demanding acknowledgment, change, and resolution in your relationship.
 
[end of AI-generated summary; my full, non-AI-generated message follows below]
 
[I recommend that you read this in its entirety at a time and capacity level where your literacy and comprehension are at their highest level, and preferably with the interpretational assistance of a knowledgeable and competent support person or technological assistant.]
 
[Presumably, after reading a few sentences or less, your defense mechanisms will be activated and you will eject. However, as with the vast majority of the things I have said to you that have gone unacknowledged, I am completely certain that the contents are cogent and comprehensible, and I believe that with competent support and vulnerable effort you undoubtedly have the raw cognitive capacity necessary for comprehension if you are able to stabilize your emotional reactions and put real effort into the actions necessary for you to understand my words.]
 
I will not talk to you.
I will not look at you.
I will not approach you.
I will not acknowledge you.
 
If you attempt to interact with me on any interpersonal level not related to your role as a landlord, I will reserve the right to express just how fucking despicable it is to treat such a vulnerable person with such utter disregard and abuse for so fucking long.
 
The cycle of abuse you have maintained to destabilize me for your own pathological reasons has caused - and continues to cause - extensive damage to my health, stability, and existence. However, since I know your response to this would likely be some variation of "you're not a victim here [my name], so if I treat you so bad, just leave", I'll preemptively and unequivocally condemn such coercive and abusive tactics, and state again (as I did the other day), that the forced choice between your abuse and life-threatening-homelessness is obviously no choice at all, and leaves me perpetually subject to your coercion and abusive control.
 
Such exploitation by you is absolutely disgusting, and honestly I understand why you run away from yourself at every single instance where you're in danger of having your lifelong house-of-cards ego even slightly threatened. I know if I treated another human being the way you treat me for even a moment, let alone for the literal years you have done so, I would not be able to face myself in the mirror either. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.
 
You say I "don't want to be your son anymore", as though it has been someone other than me making hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours of efforts and attempts in order to try and single-handedly keep our relationship alive, and as though it has been someone other than you who has stonewalled me for years about every single legitimate and valid time I attempted to gain even the slightest foothold as a full human being in the owner-pet relationship you have fought so hard to maintain. You siphon, in fact demand, emotional supply whenever you so choose, and then fucking discard me as soon as it appears that I might do anything that would result in you losing even a fraction of a percent of the 99% to 1% imbalance you believe is an immutable part of our "relationship".
 
I will do my absolute best to be in my room as much as physically possible when you are home, so as to minimize the need to be physically adjacent to you in the course of our respective activities of daily living.
 
I, again, remain unequivocally committed to my position of deference and compliance towards any rules/demands related to my existence, presence, or activities as your tenant.
 
As you refuse to provide any sort of unambiguous guidance or clarification whatsoever regarding your shifting demands affecting my ability to access/perform basic activities of daily living, I will continue to act in good faith with respect to my adherence to all previously-established arrangements and protocols (whether codified or de facto) regarding such activities. To the full extent of my abilities, and to the extent that it is physically possible, I will immediately and unequivocally comply with any alterations, additions, or excisions you choose to impose regarding the nature of our physical coexistence as landlord and tenant, regardless of your disregard or intent for any harm to my stability that will ensue as a result.
 
If you intend to attempt to manipulate or threaten or gaslight me to illegitimately and dishonestly accuse me of failing to comply with your rights and demands as the homeownelandlord, then I can assure you that such efforts will be ineffective and inadvisable. The extensive history of my genuine, documented, and unwavering commitment to absolute respect of your home, property, and landlord-tenant authority is unassailable, and nothing has or will change about the good faith nature of my efforts to simply live peacefully and work on stabilizing my health and continuing to attempt to develop basic protocols that offer me the opportunity to seek the ways and means required to sustainably exist, survive, and seek meaning and fulfilment as a human being.
 
To try and make it a bit more bite-sized (without warranty as to the efficacy of said efforts), since I know when your ego is threatened you conveniently - and dishonestly - become completely unable to read a couple thousand words:
 

• I have never been more disgusted by the actions of anyone or anything more in my entire fucking existence.

 

• I will continue to be an absolute model tenant, despite the harmful effects of your constant abuse, and I will unequivocally comply with any demands you make with your authority as my landlord. I will explicitly and aggressively defend against any attempts to gaslight me, or attempt to dishonestly accuse me of failing to comply with any such demands.

 

• Feel free at anytime in your life to decide that maybe it might be time to face the fact that - though skillful in your delusion - you are the same scared child you were 40 years ago, and if you ever want to truly and meaningfully experience what it's like to be secure with yourself beneath the false veneer of superficial and ego-protecting interactions you surround yourself with at the exclusion of true and honest existential vulnerability, then you need to seek, engage with, and be honest and vulnerable with, professional clinical care for your intractable narcissism and the lifelong effects and deficits associated with same. In other words, to reductively and rhetorically restate what you disgustingly told me the other day as a means of deflecting from the fact that you couldn't go more than two seconds without contradicting yourself, “get your fucking meds adjusted”.

 

• When faced with any sort of challenge to your control or authority, your lifelong fear of abandonment has caused you to push people away before they have the opportunity to leave you, resulting in premature, self-created, and misdirected sabotage of significant relationships at the first sign of disturbance or genuine vulnerability. I know you're terrible at recognizing or interpreting patterns or facts, but think, for example, about when your efforts to remove me from your life and/or house have been at their most intense:

 

• (a) in 2016(ish) when conflicts about my role in helping with the [redacted address][job of cleaning out my grandpa's apartment after Alzheimer's took hold] triggered feelings of grief and fear in you at the decline of your father's health and the inevitability of his then-upcoming death,

 

• (b) in late 2019 through 2020ish, in the leadup to and aftermath of your father's death, where you threatened or demanded my removal from your house during damn-near every single minor conflict about utterly insignificant household disputes. The vulnerability and grief you felt surrounding his death triggered the core-level unresolved sense of abandonment you carry as a result of the lack of parental affection you received because of, inter alia, the level of care required by your [editor's note: dying of CF as a teenager] sister and resultant lack of parental support available to you as a result,

 

• (c) in 2021ish, surrounding your mother's acute medical events and her subsequent death, where your treatment of me followed effectively the same patterns and underlying causes as the item above (sans explicit threats of eviction, opting instead for the more oblique and covert references that have been your MO until the recent regression to explicit threats within the past few days).

 

• (d) in 2024, surrounding the final decline and subsequent death of [dog], where all of the same behaviours described above returned and steadily escalated, culminating in telling me to get the fuck out of your house because I wouldn't stop moving some boxes for 30 minutes, and then telling me that you were going to call the police to have me removed from your house as a result of your inability to force me to stop making accurate statements that damaged your ego and need for unquestioned interpersonal control in your self-appointed role as the sole ruler of the relational hierarchy you fought so hard to maintain.

 

• You need to actively and vulnerably seek and participate in professional clinical treatment for the lifelong effects of the hollow narcissism that has maladaptively protected you from your deepest childhood injuries and vulnerabilities, at the expense of truly genuine connection with, at the very least, your firstborn and only son.

 

• [note that the contents of this bullet point are neither a threat of suicide, nor an indication of any intent whatsoever to harm myself or others. I am including this disclaimer to preemptively remove your ability to selectively manipulate my words in order to further gaslight me]
  If you want me gone from your house, and life (and possibly my own life, given the extreme existential risk posed by homelessness for a vulnerable person with the significant disabilities I am faced with), then you will have to have me physically removed from your house in cold blood, and until the day you (or I, depending on the order) die you will live with that being the last time you ever saw the son that you took for granted and abused for 32 fucking years while he groveled at your feet begging for even scraps of affection or humanity from the person who constantly love-bombed and discarded him at her convenience to serve her own narcissistic desires worth no regard for the whole entire person she was subjugating to the role of, barely, a pet.
  

 

• Be aware that if you choose to remove me from your life as a pathological and assuredly-ineffective avoidance mechanism to try and preemptively shield yourself from the fear of abandonment that is triggered in you as a result of my overwhelmingly valid and necessary actions to demand that you cease your lifelong efforts to subjugate me in your self-created hierarchical position at the top of our unequal relationship, then you will be doing yourself an irreparable disservice by extinguishing whatever sliver of opportunity might remain for you to get the help you need to allow you to finally see me as a real person and begin making real decisions and changes and efforts to participate in efforts to salvage whatever scraps of hope might remain for us to have a relationship before both/either of us die.

 

• Feel free to ignore and/or conceal the tens of thousands of words of documented history in order to share contextless excerpts of this text within your self-serving echo chambers in your efforts to receive false validation of your delusional victimhood. Or, alternatively, feel free to vulnerably share this in its entirety - along with the full corpus of my messaging regarding the severity of the harms caused by your behaviours - with a competent and knowledgeable mental health professional(s) for the purposes of seeking treatment for your underlying pathologies and working towards genuine growth.

 

• In the unlikely (though incomprehensibly-or-perhaps-delusionally-still-hopeful) event that you are still reading, I will conclude by saying that the possibility for any hope of salvaging our relationship lies firmly and solely within your control.

 

• After over 8 years of significant, relentless, documented, often-vilified, and absolutely unreciprocated efforts to single-handedly to put 100% of the effort into a relationship that you reaped the benefits of while remaining unwavering in your abdication of even the slightest of responsibilities, I have run out of ways, means, ideas, and capacity to continue unsuccessfully trying to do both of our parts.

 

• I am not closing the door to the possibility of reconciliation if/once you have undertaken the extensive individual work you need to do if you are ever going to be able and willing to put the necessary effort into repairing our relationship. But neither am I continuing to continue working outside your closed door hoping that one day I might be able to do enough to influence you to treat me like a full, real, EQUAL, human being.

 
I love you, and goodbye for now. I hope to see you on the other side, but I cannot force you to undertake the journey.

Hey people I watched Guilty today . It was a fun movie. I like thriller , horror movies, but not gore haha. I can watch almost everything like action, sci-fi, thriller, mystery, rom-com when I feel like watching something lighthearted. I also love stop motion. Does anybody else here like it? I watch shows as well on Netflix and other streaming platforms. I’m watching only Murders in the building these days. Feel free throw suggestions at me haha.
I feel like I’m an open book so yea come ask me anything. I like going on road trips and stopping on the side of the road to take pictures of mountains, water bodies or nature in general. I feel most alive when out in nature. I like taking pictures or sun and moon too but those don’t turn out very well haha. I just love taking random pictures all the time.
Anyways I’m looking for someone who relates to this , and even if you don’t , just hmu, we’ll find something else that we have in common haha.

Anyone has a same problem and know how to fix this, I'm using beacon launcher and add suyu for switch platform, but when I clicked the rom thumbnail from beacon, its just opening suyu emulator. I downloaded suyu debug release version on github. also try open the game directly from suyu and no problem.

So, I've been having an issue for a while now. Never used to be a problem. Me and my partner live very far apart (Me, western Canada, her, southeastern Brazil) but as of a few months ago (I want to say around January we first noticed it?) we've started having a bizzare problem when trying to play games together.
If we host a private server of pretty much any game, it works differently depending on who is hosting.
When she hosts, I have no problems at all. But when I host the exact same server, with the exact same settings, she always has major latency issues. Even weirder is sometimes she says her actions are delayed, but they don't seem to be delayed at all when looking from my own client, which means the server must be recieving her actions just fine but then has trouble sending them back... Which makes no sense, because I assume it has to be using the same route it would be when I connect to a server she's hosting (where again, there are no issues.)
It makes even less sense since her computer is significantly weaker than mine - an Intel i3 9100f and NVidia GTX 1660 Super, while I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600g and an NVidia RTX 3060, and I also have double her RAM and at a faster speed too. She uses an ethernet connection, and while I do use wifi, it's Wifi 6 on 5G, with a dedicated antenna, and I consistently have a full, stable connection to the router. It makes no difference whether I manually or automatically port-forward either.
Neither of us has any problems with download or upload speeds. And again, this only happens when I'm hosting. When she's hosting it's fine. It makes no sense to me, since no matter who's hosting, it's the same connection between us, right? So if it was a problem with our networks, surely there would be noticable latency for the client in either case, right?
Despite some very foggy memories of my networking course from college, I have no idea where to even begin figuring out the cause of this.

Just picked up a used AVIN Avant 2 (yes it's old), but it's a nice upgrade from stock for not too much money.
AVIN themselves refuse to even provide the download link for the last available ROM if you are not the original buyer (Read: never buying anything AVIN again...), so I'm looking to see if anyone has the ROM they would be willing to share?
Yes, it's old. I'm not even looking for them to support the unit, I just want to download the ROM that they have and are willing to give the original owner.
Thanks, if anyone can help out :)

So I found out about this game through the Wiki. I had no idea there was a Famicom game, 2 Super Famicom games, 4-5 PS1 games, Game Boy games, Dreamcast, DS games about Mini 4WD. All -JPN only. This one seems to be the most like actually playing Mini 4WD in real life. So I download the Shining Scorpion ROM and start playing it on an emulator. I'm pretty lost since I can't read Japanese but I recognize the parts you can buy. They are dead-on like the real parts. Right color gears, endbells, wheels, rollers, all of it. So I'm motivated to learn it.
3 days after downloading it I see what looks like the cartridge in a local game store. No way. Only way I knew was recognizing the Japanese logo from the emulator. I ask the guy working who could read a little Japanese and he was like "Yeah it says 'Shinning' Scorpion Racing". My city isn't known for having a lot of import games at all unlike a coastal city so it was crazy! I get it home an put it next to my home track box and see the Japanese "Yonku" on both. Break the Super Famicom lockouts off of my SNES and fire it up. It's it.
This was way better than using the emulator since it already had a save on it. Whoever had it before grinded their brains out on the track in the first hobby shop in order to be able to buy all this stuff from the hobby shop in the second town. Unfortunately there is very little English documentation of this game and talking to NPCs to learn more is impossible for me. Problem now is course outs on the track where you race against the guy who looks like a 1940s cartoon depiction of a monkey with a bow tie. I have added all the weight possible to my car. Front, side and rear 19mm rollers. Wide rubber tires (the game seems to like these for stability even though few people race with wides today -- some things the game likes aren't how things are done 25+ years later) Tried dual rear rollers both high and middle plus low and it wasn't as stable. Hyper Dash 1 motor, Rev Tuned and Torque Tuned are too slow and still course out sometimes. Even with Hyper Dash I am still 2nd place at the most before eventually coursing out. Both types of 4:1 gears and the 5:1 gears all course out. Switching to 1.2v batteries from 1.5v doesn't stop it either. Car is very heavy. Anybody else played this one and did well?

Here recently I been giving my N64 some care. I just bought an Super Eon 64( I probably overpaid for it but I wanted to play on my HD tv so I bought it) and a retro fighter controller that I love. So my quest is, is the Everdrive worth the price. Also, where do I download roms for that as well. Thank you.

I was in game when 3.23 went live and consequently got booted out of my desperate attempt to earn the last few aUECs to get myself a MOLE miner. So after calming down and accepting the fate of what was inevitable, I started downloading the patch and suddenly, I was left countin minutes and after two hours of loading... I got irritated and started looking for what went wrong. Fired up the console and saw a bunch of lines with "busy" responses from the server... and consequently quitted.
Downloaded the game again (in full) and met the same fate after four hours.
Started looking for forum posts regarding the issue and found EPTU symptoms, but this can't be the case cause this is live. Later found out that the symptom was persistent in the live server and I'm not the only one having this problem. Even new players whose first time in the SC verse got met with this kind of rejection.
Started to think that my US$297 investment just got flushed down with no official communication from CIG. Not even action being done.
I got desperate and had to invoke the dreaded "Character reset" with another full download and install of the game to no avail.
WTF is going on?

I’ve been learning how to use ROMs to emulate older games on my pc and I’m a bit confused about the laws involved. Every tutorial explaining how to set up an emulator says “I can’t discuss how or where to download ROMs/BIOS but just google it; it’s super easy”. After googling I found some seemingly very legitimate websites that host these files for download.
Why would it be illegal to discuss downloading ROMs but not illegal for these websites to host them for download? Is it illegal to download ROMs/BIOS from these websites? (I’m in USA)

What am I missing? I can get every other emulator working, I figured atari stuff would be as easy as putting nes roms on there but it's not showing up. Am I missing a step or was there something else I needed to download? I'm trying to play some berserk and moon patrol and gremlins.

Semi-Multiplayer - WatchCDDA.net

WatchCDDA.net is hosted by r7st and allows for semi-multiplayer ASCII version of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. It can be a bit confusing to get started so make sure you check out the Instructions page for more details and join that Discord to communicate while playing. Any issues need to be expressed on WatchCDDA's Discord, not the subreddit - any troubleshooting posts will be removed.

• Requirements:
• WatchCDDA.net Account (set up is on Instructions page)
• SSH client (like PuTTY)
• Willingness to use ASCII (no tilesets yet)

FAQ

• How do I use this subreddit?

If you're new here, make sure to read through the above. Secondly, any simple questions should be confined to this weekly announcement post. If you've found a bug or a new strategy, or wondering what type of playthrough to try, you should make a separate post about those.

• Flairs? What are those?

There are two types of flairs: user flairs (which are currently customizable) and post flairs. If you make a post, make sure you're flairing it appropriately for others. There are some exclusive flairs you cannot pick but should be on the lookout for, such as:
Changelog - these posts have very informative posts regarding changes.
Fixed - these posts generally have a solution to a bug or problem.
Lastly, if you flair a post [Help Wanted] and someone answered satisfactorily, make sure to re-flair it with [Solved] so others can find the solution instead of looking through tons of posts.

• Oh no, my anti-virus says the launcher is a threat!

Antivirus products are known to detect the launcher as a threat and block its execution or delete the launcher. The reason for this is uncertain, but most likely due to a launcher component, PyInstaller, that is commonly flagged as a threat by antivirus software. A sufficient workaround is to add the launcher binary to your antivirus' whitelist, or to select the action to trust this binary when detected. More information can be found from the launcher's FAQ on Github.
If you are paranoid, you can always inspect the source code yourself and build the launcher from the source code. However, you are still likely to get false positives.

• The UI is broken or weird, is this normal?

If you think the UI isn't set up correctly, make sure to press } to access the UI Settings panel. You will be given a choice of several different styles, with "Labels" being the recommended setting for new players and "Classic" for veteran players.

• I think the subreddit should have ... or The subreddit should change ...

Great! The modteam is always looking for feedback, please make a post about your purposed change or idea and let the community decide through voting and debate. If it's something that is a bit more sensitive, please send it through modmail.

i have issues playing games on n64 idk if it does happens in nds or the others but i have a lot of texture issues. Between cutscenes in zelda ocarina of time and at the end of the game, it just crashes out the texture ruining the momment a lot. Same thing happens in majoras mask in the day cycle texture it just puts a white box texture instead, it is annoying at some point. Tried to changes roms and nothing even languages, anyone knows how to fix it?

So I haven't used Bumble in about a year, when I deleted it I made sure to put the account to Snooze mode so nobody could see my profile. I downloaded it again 6 days ago but I forgot that I used Apple ID to sign up on my account, and this time accidentally used my number to sign in which didn't belong to any account. I said f*** it and created a new account, thinking maybe I'll get a boost. So, same phone, 2 accounts, one with Apple id and one with phone number.
However, back in the old account, I would get AT LEAST 1-3 matches a day and likes as well, but in this one, only 1 match, no other likes and It's been 5 days. Am I shadowbanned or something because I have 2 accounts now? What action should I take?

Introduction

Welcome, summoners! In the complex world of League of Legends, mastering macro strategies is essential for players who want to control the game beyond mere individual skirmishes. This guide dives deep into the art of macro gameplay, teaching you how to read the game, make strategic decisions, and lead your team to victory through superior map management and objective control.

Understanding Macro Play

What is Macro Play? Macro play refers to strategic decisions that affect the broader game state, including objective control, wave management, and territory dominance. It contrasts with micro play, which focuses on individual mechanics and lane battles.
Why Focus on Macro?

• Game-Winning Strategy: Effective macro play can lead to a significant advantage, often deciding the outcome of games.
• Team Synergy and Control: It enhances team coordination and allows for more predictable and controlled gameplay.
• Long-Term Advantages: Mastering macro strategies can consistently put your team ahead by maximizing resource allocation and timing.

Core Components of Macro Mastery

To excel in macro strategies, players must develop skills in several key areas:

• Objective Prioritization: Understanding which objectives (like dragons, barons, or turrets) will most benefit your team's current state.
• Map Awareness: Keeping track of ally and enemy positions to make informed decisions without needing constant updates.
• Wave Management: Manipulating minion waves to create pressure on the map, forcing the enemy team to respond to your movements.

Advanced Macro Strategies

Implement these advanced tactics to refine your macro play:

• Rotational Play: Learn how to move as a team around the map, securing objectives and gaining territorial control.
• Vision Control and Denial: Use wards and sweepers effectively to control sight lines and deny the enemy team valuable information.
• Pressure Points: Identify and exert pressure on the weakest points in the enemy's defense to split their focus and resources.

Building Team Coordination

Since macro play heavily relies on team efforts, enhancing team dynamics is crucial:

• Clear Communication: Develop concise and clear communication habits to quickly relay strategic decisions.
• Role Responsibilities: Ensure each team member understands their role in macro strategies, from the split-pusher to the team fight initiator.
• Adaptability: Be prepared to adapt strategies based on the evolving state of the game and the enemy's responses.

Leveraging Technology and Tools

Use technological aids to sharpen your macro skills:

• Replay Analysis Tools: Utilize tools to analyze game replays for missed opportunities and successful strategies.
• Strategic Planning Software: Some tools can help simulate different game states for strategic planning.
• Real-Time Decision Making Aids: Explore apps and platforms that provide real-time advice based on current game data.

Conclusion

Mastering macro strategies in League of Legends opens up new dimensions of gameplay. It allows players to influence the game at a strategic level, leading to more consistent and impactful wins. By focusing on macro play, you develop a deeper understanding of League's complexities and how to manipulate them to your advantage.

Introduction

Hello, summoners! Mastering the jungle role is crucial for controlling the tempo of a game in League of Legends. This guide is designed to enhance your jungling skills, focusing on strategic monster control, effective ganking, and optimizing your impact across the map.

Understanding the Role of a Jungler

What is Jungling? Jungling involves managing the area between the lanes, known as the jungle, where neutral monsters reside. A jungler's responsibilities include securing these monsters for buffs, supporting lanes through ganks, and controlling key map objectives like Dragon and Baron Nashor.
Why Master Jungling?

• Game Influence: Junglers have unique opportunities to influence all lanes, making strategic plays that can lead to team advantages.
• Resource Management: Efficient management of jungle resources can starve the opposing jungler and tilt the resource balance in your favor.
• Adaptability: A skilled jungler adapts their strategy based on the flow of the game, making decisions that can pivot the entire game's outcome.

Core Skills for Effective Jungling

To excel as a jungler, you’ll need to master several essential skills:

• Pathing Efficiency: Learn the most effective routes through the jungle to maximize time and resource management.
• Timing and Counter-Jungling: Master the timing of monster respawns and learn to anticipate and counter the enemy jungler’s moves.
• Gank Execution: Develop the ability to execute successful ganks by reading lane situations and knowing when and where to appear.

Advanced Jungling Strategies

Elevate your jungling with these advanced tactics:

• Vision Control: Utilize wards strategically to maintain control over the jungle and track the enemy jungler’s movements.
• Objective Prioritization: Know when to prioritize ganks, when to secure dragons, heralds, or barons, and how to balance these choices effectively.
• Team Coordination: Work closely with your lanes to set up ganks, secure kills, and push objectives, ensuring that your actions are synchronized with team goals.

Building Synergy with Teammates

Effective communication and coordination with your team are crucial for a jungler:

• Communication: Keep your team informed of your position and plans. Use pings and quick messages to coordinate ganks and alert teammates to the enemy jungler’s location.
• Adaptability in Playstyle: Adapt your jungling style to fit your team’s composition and strategy. Switch between aggressive ganking and conservative farming as needed.
• Support During Team Fights: Beyond early game ganks, contribute to team fights with timely engagements and by securing flanks or chasing down fleeing enemies.

Utilizing Technology and Tools

Enhance your jungling with the help of modern tools:

• Jungling Apps: Use apps designed to help track jungle timers and suggest optimal paths.
• Replay Analysis: Regularly review your gameplay to identify strengths and areas for improvement, particularly your pathing and gank timing.
• Online Coaching: Consider engaging with professional coaches who can provide personalized insights and improvement strategies based on your play style.

Conclusion

The jungle is a battleground of wits, will, and strategy. By mastering the jungling role, you not only increase your team’s chances of winning but also gain a deeper understanding of strategic gameplay in League of Legends. Elevate your game and become the jungle master your team needs to dominate the Rift.

Brushed the dust off my moto G pure because my current phone has shattered. G pure was in reset state, so once I activated it (was fairly smooth) until it updated on its own and became laggy to use - thing would stutter going from one app to the next.
I was considering to flash a custom rom, already unlocked bootloader, fast boot and oem unlock using their site. But the flashing bit is a bit confusing since I'm not sure what custom rom to put in and how.
Phone model is XT2163-4 Canadian retail. Would really appreciate some step by step guide if possible. I've already downloaded the stock rom using Lenovo search and rescue in case of failure. Just need help flashing a custom rom in and would really appreciate any input if at all.

FULL VAULT RECORDS DOWNLOADED. PLEASE SELECT A TERMINAL TO VIEW RECORDS. [RESEARCH LEAD RICHARD PANTON]
YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS SECURE FILES. PLEASE ENTER CREDENTIALS.
[HACK SUCCESSFUL!]
CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED. WELCOME, RICHARD. OPENING SECURE RECORDS...
[Additional Parameters] OPENING...
While the purpose of this experiment is to monitor all residents, and due diligence in this is required, particular attention is to be paid to the following residents for the stated reasons:
Overseer J. Kendall - Uninformed of true experiment before implementation.
Researcher Q. Saint - Early onset dementia. Volunteered for research position and was granted on basis of additionally taking part in the experiment.
Resident M. Michaels - Photographic memory.
Resident F. Darling - Short term memory loss.
Resident C. Darling - Long term memory loss.
[Failsafe Protocol] OPENING...
FOR USE IN THE EVENT OF CATASTROPHIC EXPERIMENTAL DISRUPTION. ALL SECTORS OF THE VAULT OTHER THAN THE PRIVATE QUARTERS OF R. PANTON WILL BE FLOODED WITH AN AEROSOLIZED NEUTRALIZATION AGENT, AUTOMATED SECURITY WILL BE DISPATCHED TO RETURN RESIDENTS TO THEIR QUARTERS, AND DEVICE ACTIVATION WILL OCCUR. CONTINUE? [YES] [NO]
[Overseer Failsafe] OPENING...
FOR USE IN THE EVENT OF CURRENT OVERSEER DISRUPTING EXPERIMENT PROTOCOLS, INTENTIONAL OR NOT. DEVICE WILL BE ACTIVATED ON OVERSEER AT NEXT ACTIVATION CYCLE WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE. CONTINUE? [YES] [NO]
[Research Logs] OPENING...
[Oct 30 - Nov 5] OPENING...
Control week. 0 activations. Several residents report various physical or mental health improvements, all tangential to experimental goals. Clear implication of placebo effect.
[Nov 6 - Nov 12] OPENING...
7 activations. No events outside of expected and acceptable deviations. Continued expression of placebo benefits from general populace.
[Nov 13 - Nov 19] OPENING...
4 activations, 1 every other day. Beginning trials of variable and non-standard intervals between activations. One notable event - Researcher Saint mistakenly activated his own system an extra time. Event considered acceptable given Saint's preexisting condition; monitoring his interactions with other residents showed an assumption of his condition as an explanation of his behavior.
[Nov 20 - Nov 26] OPENING...
1 activation. Extended periods of time between activations potentially problematic, will continue to pursue until confirmed. Numerous residents complaining of frequent, abnormally long sensations of "deja vú." Two notable events - One. F. Darling required isolation 3 days after most recent activation; expressed anxiety and staged a potentially violent incident over "alternate timelines" he believed he was viewing within his mind. Isolation caused conflict with C. Darling as well. Investigating long-term solution. Two. General populace has begun performing nearly the exact same actions after each activation, with insignificant differences. Residents will hold the same conversations, begin and end the same activities at the same times, etc., as prior activation cycles.
[Nov 27 - Dec 3] OPENING...
2 activations, 5 days apart. Several notable events. One. Researcher Saint asks to be recused from either experimentation or research. Declined before reason for request given. Two. All vault residents simultaneously experience rapid-onset, intensely painful "thunderclap" headaches 3 days after first activation for the week. Three. A recurring conversation between M. Michaels and another resident results in secondary resident falling unconscious and being placed in infirmary after Michaels seemingly "went offscript," i.e., responded in a significantly different way from how this conversation normally goes. Resident did not wake until second activation of the week; no further changes observed.
[Dec 4 - Dec 10] OPENING...
8 activations. Major changes in paramaters to avoid disruption; F. Darling and Researcher Saint are to be pulled from general population and isolated after each activation under guise of quarantine related to surface world disease. Both residents have proven problematic on a consistent basis for opposite reasons; Darling's short-term memory loss seems to have slightly "immunized" him to the desired effects of the device, while Saint has undergone an alarmingly rapid degeneration of his mental condition. General populace has begun reporting persistent, intense, and uncomfortable feelings of familiarity with places, events, and people that they should not remember. Failsafe protocol activated on day 3 as a result of a conversation between M. Michaels and F. Darling after Michaels breaks into secure zone. Hypothesizing that returning to daily activations will lessen or remove these issues.
[Dec 11 - Dec 17] OPENING...
7 activations. General populace has become deeply unwell, clearly demonstrating subconscious retention from previous activation cycles. The strain on the psyche has physically damaged nearly 40% of residents and psychologically damaged over 80%. Repeat activations are not resolving symptoms as prior. Failsafe engaged on Overseer Kendall twice in 3 days. Full retention within 7 hours on both occasions, situation nearing critical mass. F. Darling and C. Darling have begun using their complementary conditions to understand the nature of the experiment, both are immediately apprehended and isolated by automated security after each activation under guise of "underground hysteria." Researcher Saint has degenerated to the point of near non-function, is taken to infirmary after each activation under guise of massive stroke in his sleep. M. Michaels has seemingly been unaffected by activations since experiment start. Clearly aware of experiment protocol, non-active threat as of yet; however, Michaels has been apprehended by residents and automated security in secure zones on no less than 4 occasions. Unsure how to procee NOTE: TERMINAL ENTERED TIME-OUT SHUTDOWN BEFORE FINAL ENTRY WAS MANUALLY SAVED.
