I mentioned this seed in a comment, finally got around to posting it. I could've sworn I had in the past, but apparently not.
This is one of the most perfect maps I've ever found. Easily defended area. Huge space for animal pastures and crop fields. Solid mountain made entirely of granite and marble. Two steam geysers in the safe area for power, and a third relatively close by the 'gate'.
Full album of images

• The hex info

I always prefer landing in jungles, but you can change the biome by modifying the temperature or rainfall sliders. Lots of trees and animals. No caves, roads, or rivers.

• Full map screenshot

The southern mountain is almost entirely solid. The right side is deep ocean. There's only one way into the valley, though there are a couple of narrower spaces on the mountain that you might want to reinforce with granite walls.

• Full map with fog hidden

Bit spoilery. You can see the ancient danger hidden inside the mountain. The northern mountain is hollow, so don't dig up there. But with as much space as there is, you shouldn't need to anyway.
A nice starting cave
Dig three spots that are highlighted purple and you'll reveal the only open areas in the mountain. The first area on the left makes for a very nice beginning cave to live in until you can dig out more. The third area on the far right has exposed plasteel on the northern edge, though you'll need to dig a tunnel to it.

• Two geysers in the valley

Between plenty of open sand for windmills and solar panels, and a third geyser a little bit outside the 'gate', you should have no problem keeping your base powered, and your power supplies safe.

• My last base on this map

This is end-game Anomaly, mostly vanilla, but it's so far zoomed out that there shouldn't be any spoilers. The top half of the valley became an animal pasture / pen, with the central mountain dug out to be a barn. South half of the valley was used for crop fields. The wonky shape of the wall was to keep as much of the fertile soil for crops as possible - there's three patches of it total, with a small one near the door into the base, and the largest one at the top close to the geysers. Even with a 58-person colony and needing so much storage space because I didn't use any storage mods, I still ended up using only about 2/3 of the mountain. So much room for activities!

Hello there! I haven't played BL2 in almost five whole years. now that I have a capable computer that won't overheat itself to ashes just chugging it at minimum settings, I decided to revisit this old but gold treat of a game, and remembered that last I played it, mods made quite a difference in how much I liked my time.
​
I just don't remember how they work anymore.
If memory serves right, most modifications to BL2 consist of hex edits; most mods downloaded from nexus are indeed these. It then took a hex editor to load them into the game.
I believe that tool was the Borderlands Community Mod Manager? Where it allowed you to place various hex edits of your choosing and run the game with them active, allowing things like respawning enemies and tweaked settings and the like (I remember I used to run a mod that tweaked most vault hunter skills, such as exchanging Zer0's ability placements in the skill tree in a few cases).
Was there something else needed?
On the topic of the BCMM, the more recent comments appear to indicate latest versions have some sort of issue going on. could someone confirm? I managed to more or less test out vanilla BL2 and ensure it is running smooth and stable (somehow, setting PhysX higher leads to crashes?... on an RTX4080?........ but everything else, stable and smooth as marble)
With that: any particular mods you'd suggest I look for? anything that came out in these latest years that made the game way more enjoyable for you? any recommendations?
Thank you in advance. :)

Over 530 Million USD of margin trading usage on BCH has been closed (866m down to 330m), likely as exchanges such as Binance/OKX insider traded against these positions to get them margin called/stop-loss-sold. The house always wins because the game is rigged. Buy spot & self custody!

Killing idiots is my great joy in life, and I’ll thank you not to speak ill of it until you’ve tried it for yourself.

Tom Morfin Riddle, for most of the story going by the name of Quirinus Quirrell, but at times taking up a variety of names, including Lord Voldemort, David Monroe, Alexander Chernyshov, and Jeremy Jaffe, is an antagonist in the Harry Potter fanfiction Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. Prior to the start of the series, he saw the wizarding world as at threat from the muggle world, so he seeked to unify it with him at the helm. Initially creating a Dark Lord alter ego for magical Britain to unify against, along with impersonating someone he killed to play the part of a hero, so he could orchestrate both sides of the conflict. He eventually found the other wizards so incompetent that he gave up on having the good guys win, deciding to have the Dark Lord take over magical Britain, aiming to eventually take over the world, instead.
However, his events hit a snag when he learnt of a prophecy telling of his possible defeat. In trying to resolve it favorably for him, he accidentally ended up killing himself, and to his surprise, his system of improved horcruxes didn't let him come back on his own; he had to wait a decade for Quirinus Quirrell to stumble upon one of them so that he could return, possessing Quirrell's body. After that, he enrolled as the Defense Professor at Hogwarts, at least partially as part of a plot to get the Philosopher's Stone. Eventually, he heard of further prophecies indicating that Harry Potter would tear apart the stars and destroy the world. As taking over the world and becoming immortal would be pretty pointless if the world were destroyed, he resolved to contravene those prophecies every step of the way.
This thread includes a piece of additional information provided by the author outside of the work itself. In line with how the author himself thinks that texts should stand on their own, and that anything he says that isn't in the text itself is merely the Opinion of God, that information will be prepended by [OOG].

Supplemental Feats

Physicals

Strength

• Voldemort ripped a dojo Master's tongue out. Given that he contrasted this with the story that Quirrell learned at that dojo, while Voldemort didn't have the temper to, and the later revelation that Quirrell and Voldemort are the same person, it's unclear which of these stories is true.
• When his true form was resurrected, it had limbs lean and pale, little-muscled but giving an impression of terrible strength.

Durability

• Quidditch needed solid iron Bludgers just to stand a decent chance of injuring the players, since wizards tended to be a lot more resistant than Muggles to impacts.
• A fall from three stories high wouldn't kill a wizard.
• Hermione claimed that witches were more resistant to falls, but Hermione's mother didn't quite believe that.
• A boy fell head-first into the floor, being left groaning and rubbing his head. Hermione comments it was lucky he hadn't been a Muggle, or he might have snapped his neck.
• After Fred Weasley got hit by a stone club, and sent flying through the air until he hit a wall, Harry commented that, if Bludgers didn't kill wizards, then Fred should be able to survive a blow like that.
• A witch slapped a student hard enough that a Muggle would have lost teeth.

Speed/Agility

• Fought Gregory Goyle, in a sequence too fast for Harry to make sense of what was going on.
• As soon as Lily Potter began casting the killing curse, he began doing so too, completing it before her. We later learn it took him less than half a second to cast it.
• Moved his wand so fast it was like it had Apparated (teleported) into place.
• His duel with Bahry is something Harry doesn't think he'd be able to understand even if he was watching from a meter away, it was all happening too fast.
• Before Tracey could run three steps away, Quirrell hissed, and Tracey fell to the ground and did not move.
• Harry was viscerally shocked at how fast Quirrell tore the shields surrounding the Aurors apart, he almost hadn't been able to see the successive lashes of color.
• Began chopping a root one-handed, the knife moving almost invisibly fast and with no apparent effort.
• Cast the Killing Curse, it blazing out faster than Harry could possibly have cast the Patronus Charm, faster than he could possibly have moved. It was already over even as Harry cried out and went for his wand.
• After Harry raised his gun but a fraction of a second before he pulled the trigger, Voldemort jabbed his wand downward, and created a wall of dirt to intercept all three bullets.
• Dodged a Stunning Hex which was moving towards him almost faster than the eye could see.

Stamina

• Quirrell says it would be wise to fear him, even were he starved and nine-tenths dead.
• Reacted poorly to being stunned by Severus, needing to be taken to St. Mungos, here he was found to have a state of exhaustion indicating he'd been overworking himself for weeks.
• While recovering from that state of exhaustion, he spoke six of the thirty incantations he used to safeguard important conversations, as that was all he could manage.

Perception

• Could tell when he was about to have company in his classroom, turning off a spell before Dumbledore arrived.
• Crushed a blue beetle that was observing his meeting with Harry. Given the context from last chapter, this seems to have been Rita Skeeter Animagus'd into the form of a blue beetle, which Quirrell located in the room somehow.

Magic

For generic uses of magic, not associated with particular subsets or with named spells.

Combat Magic

• Even back when he was learning martial arts, he was a prodigy of Battle Magic. With wandless magic alone he could have killed every martial artist in that dojo.
• A brief and terrible magic lashed out from his wand, scouring the hole in the wall, scarring the huge chunk of metal that lay in the room's midst.
• Created a dark red octagon that withstood forty or so fiery bolts. Hermione couldn't imagine a Shielding Charm that powerful, one that could withstand an army.
• At his direction, pure magic, pure power crashed into a room like a flash of lightning, like a thunderclap echoing about that deafened McGonnagall's other senses, the papers on her desk blown aside not by any conjured wind but by the sheer raw force of arcane might.
• With a twirl of his wand, sprayed a liquid at a plant. This seems to have been acid.
• Created a barrier, a slight shimmer, a globe-shaped distortion in the air, that would explode if touched, by any material thing, capable of killing Harry.

Object Enchantment Magic

• Cast a spell on the golden plaque in the Pioneer 11 probe, making it last a lot longer than it otherwise would.
• Touched his wand to Harry's mokeskin pouch, murmuring a quiet incantation, adding some new enchantments that would let him enter the pouch on his own in snakeform, and leave it on his own, and hear what went on outside while he was in the pouch.
• Placed a trace on Snape's wand.

Temperature Magic

• After seemingly pondering on how to torture an inkwell to death, it caught fire in his hands and burned with a terrible slowness, hideous black-orange flames tearing at the metal and seeming to take tiny bites from it, the silver twisting as it melted.
• Burned through the substance of Hogwarts, trying to reach Harry's fight with the troll. He burned through many walls and floors this way
  • He later says this was a spell of cursed fire, with which he burned through some walls and floors.
    • This was talked about earlier as an extremely dangerous and destructive spell, which people tried (and failed) to use to kill Dementors. It's the sort of spell that would be used to destroy an ancient device such as the Sorting hat.
  • This spell requires the permanent sacrifice of a drop of blood; your body would be lighter by that drop of blood, from that day forward. It's not the sort of spell to cast often. On top of that, strength of will is demanded for the cursed fire not to turn upon the caster and consume them.
• As he walked through a huge pipe, the sheets of cobwebs burned away before him.
• Despite his many layers of shields, Macnair quickly fell into seven flaming pieces. It's unclear whether this was done by Voldemort alone, or whether the other Death Eaters had a role in it.

Teleportation Magic

• Tossed a bronze Knut at Harry, he caught it and was teleported to Diagon Alley. Soon later Quirrell teleported there.
• Gave a flick of his fingers, and when his hand finished the gesture he was holding his wand. Madam Pomfrey thinks she confiscated it off of him.
• Lowered his gun, it seemed to disappear into his hand. The gun once reappeared in his hand at Harry's hesitation, and was later found, among his other possessions, to be in his suit jacket.

Telekinesis Magic

• Has, in many cases, telekinetically moved relatively small and light objects within a range of a few meters through simple hand gestures.
• Knocked down two hundred students to stop them from dragging down Potter faster than Harry. As he began to sit up after casting it, Lupin said he shouldn't be doing that, but Quirrell quickly responded by saying that he didn't cast such a powerful Charm by strength alone, he did it by being efficient.
• Has, in many cases, telekinetically moved other individuals.
• A powerful wizard can cut through a solid metal wall in seconds, with a gesture and a word. An average adult wizard would take a few minutes to do that, and would be winded afterwards. Voldemort is later described as a tremendously powerful wizard.
• Made six sets of double doors slam shut all at once.
• Stripped naked forty-four bullies and stuck them to the ceiling.
• Levitated Tracey into the air then placed her down again. Harry was concerned that he was going to rip off her legs.
• A wave of his hand floated a cauldron into place. A brief circling of his finger set a spoon into motion, which continued stirring without being held.
• Tore the True Cloak of Invisibility away from Harry and towards himself.
• Walked up to a workspace he'd made for himself. The dirty old stone doors swung open without being touched, the marble slabs rose up from the ground. The stone doors closed behind him and Harry. He waved his wand above his head in a small circle, then an altar and six dark-marble obelisks rose up from the ground.
• With a violent gesture, the robes around the original Quirinus Quirrell's sleeping form were torn in half, his purple-and-green tie shredded, and his suit-jacket drawn to where Voldemort stood.
• Waved his hand at an obelisk, it began to rotate, then turned itself to lay flat upon the ground. Another obelisk turned to lay flat. Soon after four obelisks lay flat upon the ground, evenly spaced, the other two had been floated away. He gestured at the sleeping mouth of Quirinus Quirrell, and from Quirrell's mouth floated up two teeth, one went into Voldemort's pile of items, the other floated to before the altar.

Sleep Charms

• Charmed Harry's parents asleep.
• Made three Aurors unconscious.
• Before Tracey could run three steps away, Quirrell hissed, and Tracey fell to the ground and did not move.
• Gave out another terrible hiss, the three Aurors and Professor McGonagall fell off their broomsticks and dropped heavily to the forest floor, lying motionless.

Magic Suppression

• With considerable effort, was able to cross the wards Dumbledore had placed around Harry's house.
• Caught the Auror Bahry's stunner at the end of his wand. Not blocked, not countered, not deflected, caught like a fly in honey.
• Poked at Bahry's stunner where it still wavered on the end of his wand, drawing out red sparks and flicking them away with his fingers, slowly disassembling the hex.
• Continued to draw threads of fire out of the much-diminished stunbolt still captive on the end of his wand, his fingers now weaving small patterns of Bahry's own magic before flicking to disperse them.
• Prevented Bahry's mirror from letting him communicate.
• Pronounced words in unrecognizable languages that would white out the whole area, tear away half of Bahry's shielding, and cause Bahry to stagger back.
• A sensation of something dark pressed down on all present. All shielding spells died out without any visible hex touching them. There were more flashes of light as more desperate spells were fired, but they fizzled out in midair.
• Made two barriers of solid blackness dissipate like smoke.
• Dumbledore believes Quirrell pierced Astorga's shields when Daphne Greengrass struck at him. Harry is confused at this.
• An Auror interrogator spat Polyfluis Reverso at Quirrell. Quirrell sneezed, which somehow caused the mirror-silvered ray to disrupt in a shower of white sparks. He did this despite not having a wand.
• When Hermione cast Stupefy at him, the stunbolt slowed to a stop in front of his raised hand. He then flicked his forefinger casually at it, sending it shooting back over Hermione's head.
• All inner-circle Death Eaters are accustomed with putting up anti-Apparition, anti-portkey, anti-phoenix, and anti-time-looping wards.
• After he hissed, Draco tried using his mirror yet it remained lifeless, Tracey tried casting Prismatis and Stupefy but nothing happened.
• Gave forth another terrible hiss, and all the shielding spells on the Aurors and Professor McGonagall winked out.
  • Narration later says that Harry was still viscerally shocked at how fast the shields had been torn apart. He almost hadn't been able to see the successive lashes of color which had torn away the shields like tissue paper.
• Spent months befuddling all the wards and tripsigns upon some of Hogwarts' chambers.
• Banished some purple fire with a stroke of his wand.
• Harry only had a twinge of regret over not bringing a portkey, as an inner-circle Death Eater such as Voldemort would routinely put up boundaries against portkeys, if Severus were to be believed.

Magical Countermeasures

• Harry explained his mental barrier against Dementors to Quirrell.
• He and his fellow Death Eaters plan to exorcise the surrounding area in case Harry leaves a ghost upon death.
• Has set wards against Time's looping.

Matter Manipulation/Creation

• With a gesture, made a harness, small cloth device, and something like handcuffs appear on Bellatrix.
• Sealed the exits with slats of dark metal that looked stained as though with blood.
• Jabbed his wand downward, causing a wall of dirt to rise from the earth, intercepting three bullets.
  • The dirt wall later crumbled at another gesture of his wand.

Clairvoyance

• Tapped a portkey, pinpointing that it would send the user somewhere in London.
• Deployed a gigantic square of something like parchment across the Hogwarts Quidditch field, functioning as enchanted screens, showing the events of a mock battle he organized.
• Had cast several tracking Charms on Draco Malfoy, which even after months let him know when Draco's health fell below a certain level. Harry later casts doubt on this story.
• Magically checked and graded tests surprisingly quickly.
• Has spells that can detect the True Cloak of Invisibility.

Light/Darkness Magic

• Plunged a corridor into utter darkness, so that only Tracey could be seen. Her eyes were changed, to the exact shade, to the green of Harry Potter's.
• As soon as Quirrell entered the interrogation room at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, its original light dimmed and began flickering. The room then became lit by a sourceless ice-colored glow which illuminated all of Quirrell's skin except, somehow, his eyes, which stayed in darkness. The Auror on duty outside the room had tried to dispel this effect four times without the slightest success, despite the fact that Quirrell had surrendered his wand and had shown no sign of speaking any incantations nor exerting any other power.

Mind Manipulation

• Placed his wand on Snape's forehead, spoke some words, moved his fingers in the air as though manipulating a puppet on strings, and then Snape pushed himself up and stood once more to guard the corridor door.
  • We are earlier told that he intends to control Snape and use him to guard that door.
  • We later see Snape acting oddly, as if following a script rather than being aware of the world around him. Anyone inquisitive enough would probably notice something wrong with Snape.
• Before Tom reshaped the infant Harry into a version of himself, he invoked a curse upon himself and all other Tom Riddles who would descend from him. That none of them would threaten the others' immortality, so long as the other made no attempt upon their own. The curse also ended up binding Voldemort, but took no hold on the infant Harry. However, now that Harry tried to end Tom's true life just then, the curse is lifted.

Flight Magic

• Floated down to Harry from above, not touching any of the plant's leaves or tendrils, flying without apparent difficulty.
• Conventional knowledge says it's impossible for wizards to levitate themselves, or any object supporting their own weight. Yet Voldemort alone can fly - how? Initially this was done by attaching some short enchanted broomstick rods to his arms and legs, but in the current body, this was done by having someone cast broomstick enchantments on his bones.
• Flew past a spiral staircase of leaves and through a trapdoor.
• Upon obtaining his new body, took out four short wooden rods from his old possessions, and attached them beneath his robes. After that, he was able to fly.

Magical Creature Sacrifice Ritual

• There exists a ritual which can sacrifice a magical creature, transferring its magical nature to a subject. This usually fades after a few hours, with the subject sometimes dying when that happens, but the Philosopher's Stone should be able to make it permanent. He intends to sacrifice a mountain troll, applying its nature to Hermione. Over the course of the ritual, the mountain troll crumbled in on itself, becoming ashes hanging in the air, then dust, and then the dust was gone.
• The sacrifice seems to have worked; Hermione regenerated from a cut extremely quickly.
• He then sacrificed a unicorn. The unicorn swayed, and then disintegrated as the troll had done.

Misc

• Has completed trials requiring an amount of magic which Harry would not possess for another few years.

Spells

Killing Curse

• The Killing Curse is formed of pure hate, and strikes directly at the soul, severing it from the body. It cannot be blocked, and whomever it strikes, they die. It is told that Harry survived, being the only person to ever survive it, having it rebound and strike the Dark Lord, leaving only the burnt hulk of Voldemort's body and a scar upon Harry's forehead.
• The Killing Curse is unblockable, unstoppable, and works every single time on anything with a brain.
• The Dark Lord Crucioed a dojo's students into insanity, and then finished them off with the Killing Curse, while the dojo's Master was forced to watch. When all the students died this way, the Master followed. Given that he contrasted this with the story that Quirrell learned at that dojo, while Voldemort didn't have the temper to, and the later revelation that Quirrell and Voldemort are the same person, it's unclear which of these stories is true.
• All the Killing Curse takes to cast is power and a certain mood. The caster has to want the victim dead, but not for the greater good. It takes a cracked soul to cast. As a magically embodied preference for death over life, striking within the plane of pure life force, it's impossible to block.
• The Killing Curse keeps going until it hits a soul, straight through shields, and straight through walls.
• Casts Avada Kedavra three times in quick succession, killing a centaur. While Quirrell immediately after claims it was a stunning hex, and wakes up the centaur to demonstrate that, we later learn that he actually did kill the centaur, and just temporarily revived it with Inferius afterwards.
  • [OOG] In response to a question on Reddit asking if Harry not hearing Quirrell cast Avada Kedavra in this scene implies he can cast it wordlessly, the author responded that he can cast it wordlessly.
• Quirrell found out that the Killing Curse can be cast with something other than hate, a second level to it, like Harry found for the Patronus Charm. That's how some Dark Wizards were able to cast it many times in one fight, despite that conventionally requiring the desire to kill someone that many times over. Harry later figures out this alternate fuel; indifference.
• Used the Killing Curse to kill a gigantic three-headed dog.
• The Killing Curse is unblockable, unstoppable, and works every single time on anything with a brain.
• A being with the combined powers of a mountain troll's healing and a unicorn's life-preservation would only have the Killing Curse and Fiendfyre to fear.
• Used the Killing Curse on the original Quirinus Quirrell. Quirrell's unconscious body did not even jerk, the green light struck into it without other sign.

Cruciatus Curse

• The Cruciatus Curse produces unbearable pain. If it's extended for longer than a few minutes it produces permanent insanity. The Dark Lord Crucioed a dojo's students into insanity, and then finished them off with the Killing Curse, while the dojo's Master was forced to watch. When all the students died this way, the Master followed. Given that he contrasted this with the story that Quirrell learned at that dojo, while Voldemort didn't have the temper to, and the later revelation that Quirrell and Voldemort are the same person, it's unclear which of these stories is true.
• People can be Crucioed into insanity.
• Draco believes that Voldemort used the Cruciatus Curse to keep Death Eaters in line.
• Voldemort judiciously used the Cruciatus Curse on his Marked servants.
• When playing the role of Voldemort, he didn't have to suppress his impulse to Cruciate people for being idiots.
• Crucioed a Death Eater, making him scream for long, long seconds.
• Crucioed another Death Eater, the screaming only lasted a few seconds.
• Crucioed yet another Death Eater. He screamed for what seemed like a full minute.

Simple Shield

• Taught his class the Simple Shield.
• The Simple Shield is only large enough to protect the faces and chests of eleven-year-olds. On top of that, one can't fire and hold this shield at the same time.
• The Simple Shield isn't capable of protecting against all spells.

Sleep Hex

• Somnium is the primary means of taking out opponents in a set of war games Quirrell ran with his students. With how integral it is to the ruleset, and with all the students in the war games knowing it, they must have learned it from somewhere, so I've included it under the assumption that Quirrell taught it to the students, or otherwise is familiar enough with it to cast it, despite never objectively showing that capability.
• The Sleep Hex renders those it hits unconscious.
• Sleep Hexes can't be seen, as the spell is too weak.
• A near-missed Sleep Hex can cause numbness in part of the body.

Dark Mark

• Voldemort invented the Dark Mark to keep his force of Death Eaters united. Any breach of their loyalty would be punished by death, and any slack or incompetence would be punished by pain. None could escape Voldemort's grasp once they took his Mark, and they agree to take it because it made them unified.
• Lucius says that the Dark Mark only binds those who truly consent to it. But it's unclear how true this is, since this is said as part of his lie about not being a Death Eater.
• If someone bearing the Dark Mark knows they are caught for a Death Eater, before others who have not yet seen their bare arms, the Mark reveals itself, whether they want it to or not. If the others have already seen their arms bare, it does not reveal itself; nor if they're only being tested and not caught. Thus, it seems to identify Death Eaters, but only those that have already been found. Those that bear the Dark Mark can't reveal its secrets to those who don't know them, unless a test for Death Eaters based on asking questions they can't answer is suspected, in which case they can speak freely.
• Marked servants cannot escape punishment except by success, with no reasonable efforts accepted.
• After Macnair tried killing Voldemort, Voldemort said Macnair acted in sheer stupidity, for Voldemort commands their Marks.

Polyjuice

• Polyjuice can be used to impersonate others.
• Polyjuice'd himself into a lanky bearded man. Wearing a different body like this hinders your magic.
• Bahry is surprised that Quirrell can perform magic as delicate as he manages to when Polyjuice'd into someone else's body.
• Without redosing, Polyjuice only lasts for an hour.
• If a Polyjuice potion is contaminated with material from an animal, it can transform the consumer into a human-animal hybrid.

Disillusionment Charm

• The Disillusionment Charm turns things invisible. This tends to be accompanied by the sound of an egg cracking.
  • But not always completely so; after Snape Disillusioned Harry, there were still hints of distortion in the air when he moved.
• Disillusioned himself and his broomstick, creating a popping sound.
• Turned Bellatrix and himself invisible.
• Tapped himself on the head with his wand, creating a sound like an egg cracking, then turned invisible.

Obliviation

• Obliviation erases memories, but not all the effects of the experience.
• Obliviation selectively erases memories.
• Obliviated Bellatrix.
• An Obliviation could, by accident, erase ten years of someone's life.
• Casted a mass Obliviation.
• Obliviated the exact details of where he hid his horcruxes from his memory.
• Used Obliviations and False Memory Charms on Hermione. Obliviations to remove her memory of his failed attempts to get her to do evil.
• Checked on the Weasley twins, found and took their map, and Obliviated them afterward.
• Obliviated Mr. Nott and Miss Greengrass.

False Memory Charm

• The False Memory Charm creates fake memories in people.
• When cast perfectly, a False Memory Charm is indistinguishable from true memory, but one of such quality requires as much time to create as a true memory. Still, a subject's reaction to gaining those memories is hard to predict in advance without Legilimency.
• The False Memory Charm is far more difficult than Obliviation. You had to try to live the other person's entire life inside your own head. Quirrell quickly performed six False Memory Charms.
• False Memory Charmed a student into remembering Harry handing them a letter.
• Casted a mass version of the False Memory Charm, the one that just had the subject fill in the blanks using their own suggestibility.
• Used Obliviations and False Memory Charms on Hermione. False Memories were implanted of Hermione watching malfoy plotting against her.

Inferius

• A corpse risen by Inferius won't be able to think, and its body will still decay.
• Spoke a Latin-sounding incantation, ended with Inferius, to make a three-headed dog rise from death. Upon seeing this, Harry realized that Quirrell had also used this on the centaur who confronted him in the Forbidden Forest, although at that time it was cast without the spoken Latin.
• A later whispered word caused caused the three-headed Inferi to become a corpse again.

Fiendfyre Phoenix

• Spoke Az-reth six times, tracing a flaming rune that began to pour out twisted fire, blazing crimson, further red than blood, glowing as searingly intense as an arc-welder, with veins of black that seemed to suck the light from the fire. As much fire had poured out as the volume of a small bush.
• Within the blackened fire, animal shapes twisted wildly from one predator to another, before it took on the form of a blackened blood-burning phoenix. Something told Harry with a terrible certainty that if that black burning phoenix met Fawkes, the true phoenix would die and never be reborn.
  • Whenever a phoenix's body fails, they immolate themselves in a burst of fire and leave behind a hatchling, or sometimes an egg. As many times as they die, they'll always be reborn.
• Made a gesture with his wand, the phoenix flew to a door, consuming most of it and part of the archway with a single sweep of its crimson-burning wings.
• Faced with huge statues wielding swords and clubs, the Fiendfyre phoenix passed through them, leaving them cracked and burned. It then returned to hover an inch above Quirrell's left shoulder.
• Harry's dark side or just plain instinct was advising him not to get anywhere near that black-crimson fire hovering above Quirrell's shoulder.
• Is the standard counter-Charm for a boggart. The blackened fire flew into the room with a common boggart, there was a single squeak, and then nothing.
• A curtain of purple fire would have looked more threatening to harry, if it hadn't seemed pale and weak by comparison to the blackened flame hovering over Quirrell's shoulder.
• In the corner the Fiendfyre phoenix waited, some of the nearby stone beginning to gloss over as it melted to greater smoothness.
• The phoenix melted through a marble wall, creating a corridor large enough for Quirrell to follow through.
• The phoenix charged into the Mirror of Perfect Reflection. This consumed a minor concealing illusion that was on it.
• A being with the combined powers of a mountain troll's healing and a unicorn's life-preservation would only have the Killing Curse and Fiendfyre to fear.

Confundus Charm

• The Confundus Charm can change someone's beliefs.
• Quirrell had planned to Confund the monitors facing the aerial surroundings if Azkaban, causing them to see a repeating loop of scenery for a few minutes.
• A Confundus Charm would wear off after a few hours.
• Harry proposed a plan where Quirrell would Confund himself to mimic Dumbledore's state of mind upon defeating Voldemort.
• Quirrell enacted this plan, holding his wand to his head, saying Confundus, and suddenly his expression changed.
• Harry soon notes that Quirrell's Confundus Charm had been imperfect. The underlying personality of Quirrell was leaking through.
• The Confundus soon wore off naturally.

I just ran an experiment. Yesterday I took some leftover tiles and thinset them to a scrap of hardiebacker. This afternoon I took a stonegrinder to them, starting at 100 and working up to 800 grit diamond disks (makes a nice 'honed' finish). It looks AWESOME. The tiles have a much more uniform finish, the edges are cleaner, the disks took out all of the milling marks and wore down the high tiles to flush or close enough to be well within comfort. The whole process took about 10 minutes on an ideal setup: workbench, standing up, etc. So, increase the time by 50%, 15 minutes per square foot, 2.5 hours to make the shower floor immaculate. Not what I really wanted to do, but it looks like it'll turn out pretty good in the end.

As the sun sets and the world above quiets down,a hidden realm awaits beneath our feet. Caving, or spelunking, invites us to venture into the Earth’s secret chambers, where ancient formations and untold stories await. Here are some of the most captivating caving destinations around the globe:

1. Waitomo Glowworm Caves, New ZealandLocated in Waitomo, New Zealand, these caves are home to the mesmerizing Arachnocampa luminosa glowworms. Their luminescent bodies create a unique light pattern, turning the cave into a celestial wonderland. Take a boat trip to witness this natural light show up close.
2. Barton Creek Cave, BelizeNestled in the Cayo District of Belize, Barton Creek Cave is both a tourist attraction and an archaeological site. Its giant passages stretch over 21,000 feet, adorned with massive speleothems. Dive into the underground river for an unforgettable experience.
3. Harrison’s Cavern, BarbadosBarbados’s Harrison’s Cavern, shaped by water erosion, boasts unusual stalagmites and stalactites. Explore its cathedral-like chambers, where calcium-rich water has sculpted otherworldly formations. A tram tour takes you through this subterranean wonder.
4. Marble Caves, ChileCarved by the turquoise waters of General Carrera Lake, the Marble Caves in Chile are a surreal sight. The swirling patterns on the walls create an ethereal ambiance. Visit during sunrise or sunset for magical reflections.
5. Son Doong Cave, VietnamAs the largest cave in the world by volume, Son Doong is a jaw-dropping wonder. Its massive chambers stretch for 9 kilometers, reaching heights of 200 meters. Prepare for an otherworldly adventure deep within the Vietnamese jungle.

Realtors, I need advice & I hope this is the proper forum for this post. We are getting our home ready to put on the market Spring 2025 (yes, I’m a chronic planner). I’ve made a punch list of repairs we need to do, but would like to get opinions on a few items:

1. We have a Thermador range that is older & 2 burners don’t work. We’ve tried to have it repaired, but Thermador no longer makes the exact part we need since it’s older discontinued model. Do we replace range before we list the home, or just list this defect in the seller’s disclosure?
   
2. Our kitchen has white shaker cabinets w/ tung oiled maple countertops & a large island with carrera marble-look quartz top. It is beautiful, but what are your thoughts on the wood countertops? Will they be a deterrent to potential buyers?
   
3. Our kitchen backsplash is 4x4 white square tile. Any thoughts on leaving it as is, or update?
   
4. The floor tile in our bathrooms is 4x4 white square (apparently white square was the 90’s version of subway? Lol) Was considering putting LVP over the tile. Thoughts? Trying to avoid ripping out & installing new tile.
   

For reference, I’m in a suburb of Houston known for the amazing school district. Gated neighborhood, 1 story built in 1996, 1900 sq ft, 3/2/2. Same floor plan comps have been selling with a mix of updated finishes (either updated kitchen or bathrooms, but usually not both), $350-$375k.
I appreciate any & all advice. We are working with a realtor, but I’d like to hear from the thinktank, as I’ve learned so many helpful things from this group, and value your opinions. Thank you!

Irving Forbush, Forbush Man

"Money. Is that all you people care about? You'll do whatever it takes to turn a buck, won't you? Why, next you'll be telling me that you're changing the color of the Hulk, making everyone into Skrulls and completely doing away with Spider-Man's ██████! All this just to sell a few more copies? ...Why isn't someone keeping an eye on you degenerates?"

Irving Forbush was originally the office gofer at Marble Comics, and lived in a house with his shrewish maiden aunt, Auntie Mayhem who was indirectly responsible for her nephew becoming a superhero (in a fit of pique, she slams the fabled cooking pot over Irving's head, inadvertently providing him with the disguise he'd been looking for).[citation needed]
Forbush Man went on to triumph over a number of super-powered adversaries. All of his victories were purely accidental; lacking superhuman powers, dumb luck necessarily played a major role in all of his adventures.

Trying my best to write a guide for the different mechanics of the game. Starting with Cities and Towns first. The game hasn't released yet so there might be some changes.
I will try to avoid National Spirits (NS) in my explanation otherwise the content is just a tad bit too much for a post. Each NS would require its own post to discuss all the benefits, their costs, and the 'n' number of strategies that would follow. Also, I am not a streamer and haven't played the game yet. These are observations / analysis on videos from YT and Twitch. Previous post
​

• Firstly, SPACE YOUR CITIES APART. This game is a lot different than Civ6 or Hexarchy. Most playthroughs have a problem: not enough space for the cities to grow. Except for Praetorian who left an enormous area for city expansion {but is now starting to face issues with the problem of not enough tiles on like Age 7 or 8 or something. Give his playthrough a look bcz his game was the best imo}
• The cities are defined by their region levels. Higher the region level, better will be the resource creation of the city. Buildings can only be built in a city. Different tiers of buildings are dependent upon region level and tech, etc. Buildings are not visible on the hex map.
• There is an upkeep cost of culture per turn for every city you integrate. So don't go owning every city. Integrate those that have high potential. Leave the others as vassals. Build up prosperity for those.
• Cities have needs! If the needs are not met then the city doesn't grow as fast as it can. Max growth is 200% but 150% is recommended at the very least. The upper limit on pops is set on the region level of the city and thus, on the tech and Age that the game is in. #
• Then come the improvements. Built using improvement points [IP], these are hex tile modifications for better resources, efficiency, etc. Visible on the map. All hex tiles can be improved except for mountains (unless Age of Aether is achieved).
• The best addition that Millennia has given is probably the towns. Towns are the bulwark of strategy for this game: "Thinking about a new city? Look for good towns first"
  • Firstly, the town allows for the expansion of the city. Towns lower the total influence over their immediate 6 hexes and then those hexes can be claimed faster. They also give bonuses with the improvement on these 6 tiles.
  • Towns increase the region level of the city. Quite important. #
  • Towns must be built to give the best bonuses. A 3/4 hill hexes mining town [3/4 Mtown] is incredibly powerful. But this might not be possible at the start of the game.
  • At later stages, 'Claim Territory' + 'Creating Town' can make a huge difference to the production of the city allowing it to expand quickly. The key to a good city is high production and the key to high production is a good town.
  • Also, towns can be used in conjecture with outposts. Towns might take a bit of time to expand their borders. However, an outpost allows for instant 6-hex expansion. The outpost can be absorbed into the city as a town via Absorb Outpost. This can massively help in navigating around difficult terrain [because border expansion through grasslands is very easy but forest and hills is very slow] ^*
  • Rivers also give adjacency bonuses to farms and plantations. Combining towns and rivers seems the best possible strat for agri-based towns and cities for high bonuses.
  • Higher level towns allow for specializations that grant even more powerful bonuses to adjacent tiles. Combining 6 foresters with a 3rd level lumber town would skyrocket the production of the town. This is the ideal scenario but that might be unlikely though for mines and plantations. [Though I have seen a 5 hex with marble on a Twitch stream, however, they were playing for the first time and the 1st town was wasted as a coastal town but those optimal town positions do come up in the game]
  • Towns can also spawn units and local militia/garrisons which give a lot more defense to the city.
  • Roads are also dependent upon the positioning of towns, cities, outposts, etc. Roads provide a movement buff to all units. That makes them incredibly powerful and quite necessary to manage a large empire.

^* Imagine if your city is cramped due to mountains or hills or forests, you can skip over them using Pioneer, put an outpost, and absorb it. This would not only give 6 hex expansion but also allow for the spread of the influence directly over the difficult terrain and perhaps into plains. These outpost-absorbed towns might also be situated in good areas as they might form a 5/6 Ltown / Mtown.
6 hex adjacency is quite difficult for mining but is quite possible for lumber. Use the outpost method for lumber towns if possible. If Create Town is used then the border growth will be there but it won't be instant.
Best town improvements: Mines > Lumber > Clay > Agri (no plantations included) > Coastal

Chapter 1 : The Terrace
Clara was staring at the Orion's belt, basking herself under the moonlight. the fresh air caressed her skin as she stood there mindlessly taking in the scent of the summer air. One could see the huge clouds of gasses coming out of the chimneys of industries nearby. The terrace was her favorite place to be. From there she would look at the city lights far away and dream of living a lavish life in the city. People hated ‘city life’ because of the chaos but she was born out of chaos and that was the life she dreamt of. She suddenly heard her phone beep and she tried taking it out of her pocket, but she failed to do so. For a moment she felt as if her hands were paralyzed but then she saw that she didn’t have her hands. She was suddenly standing on the brink of the wall of her terrace and there were kids laughing out loud telling her to jump, a girl came to her giggling and laughing. Almost immediately she pushed her from the 6th floor. Clara woke up panting, her whole body trembling and covered with beads of cold sweat. She felt a pair of hands on her stomach and got sucked into her bed, there were people all around her but nobody was noticing her. She was panicking, “oh god, get me out of this dream. Please” she sobbed uncontrollably, that is when a woman started running after her with an axe in her hands. She ran to a distance and slowly got fatigued by the act of running constantly. The woman slowed down and morphed into an older woman, and decapitated Clara with her axe. Clara could still see her decapitated head lying on the ground and a teardrop falling from her eye. But then she realized that the decapitated girl looked a lot younger than her present self. Perhaps she was still alive she looked at her hand and this time she saw only two fingers in her hand. She fell unconscious and woke up again in her room. She hoped to have woken up from her nightmare, she looked around the room and then she saw a lot of difference. It wasn’t her room…
Chapter 2 : The Room
The room's walls were painted with warm colors which gave them a comforting vibe, it was different from her original room which was barely plastered and whose wallpapers had started to rot away from the excessive moisture. Clara looked around the room, still trembling with fear due to her nightmares . Although she didn't quite recognize the room, but still somehow a sense of familiarity washed over her and she felt deja'vu of the concrete walls surrounding her. She looked around the room for some time to gather her thoughts. Afterward she went to look at herself, in the mirror attached to the closet . Upon inspection she found a huge scar on her forehead possibly from an accident. She was now starting to get confused. How had she gotten that scar?how did she get here? And what was the meaning of the nightmare she had before ? Whether it was a nightmare or was it real? As she was brainstorming these questions she suddenly found out that something was written on her chest barely visible due to her clothes. She took off her clothes to see the engraving written on her chest. She looked at the mirror and to her surprise found a message written on her chest by what seemed like a marker . The engraving read 'Look how big the monster inside of me has become!!' . Suddenly a soul crushing fear paralyzed her body rendering her mind into a state of panic . She lay on the floor for a while, it was as if the engraving on her chest had cast a hex on her body . Clara didn't quite understand the engraving but she was certain of one thing, that something terrible had happened which she couldn't remember. After a while as her body began to regain its composure she started to search around the room and After some time of inspection found a journal inside of the closet. It read...
Chapter 3: The consciousness
"14th april 2023 It's been a month since I have been trapped inside of my own mind reliving my past memories as nightmares only to be killed and wake up in another nightmare. If you find this then remember this is not real nothing is, infact the world around you is a creation of your own subconscious the one making your life miserable is none other than you yourself. There is no point in resisting for, the more you resist the harder it will be for you to wake up that is, if you ever wake up . And at last remember the shape morphing creature following you is your pure subconscious you already know what you have to do to wake up but you won't accept it now, would you? because I didn't."" It felt as if the whole world had collapsed into itself as the pain of realization gripped Clara ,the nightmares she had were just as real as her own reality and she had been doing it for god knows how long. She felt light headed and when she regained herself, she found herself standing on the same terrace she had been thrown off by the young girl the place where it all began.
Looking around the marble panelled terrace she found the same girl who had pushed her off but this time she knew it was not a girl but rather her own conscience. She was trying to kill herself this whole time but couldn't because of her own conflicting desire to live. She looked at the projection of her conscience. Now she was not afraid of it, for she knew what she had to do ,she hugged the projection of her conscience and holding her jumped off the terrace . This time she was not afraid she felt liberated as if her whole body was melting with her surroundings her heart felt light as if she had finally achieved peace. Then her eyes opened but this time she wasn't in her room or the terrace but rather on floor her body was paralysed and blood was gushing out of her.
Blood was staining the floor she had finally snapped back to reality but it was no different from her nightmares . The only difference was that she was now dying and she knew she won't wake up ever again after this.. Oh Such a horrible fate for a person to live through an endless nightmare not losing hope and to keep on going, thinking it will soon stop only to wake up and find herself dying and realise that she would be mere dust after 100 of years only a particle consisted of nothingness truly a pity.

I’m not sure if this is a sub relevant post, but I figured someone would get a kick out of it.
So, for reference, I’ve mounted a plenty of TVs before - both before and after going out on my own doing handyman work. They serve as a nice fill-in on days with quick jobs and as weekend work. I’ve never had an issue with them.
About a month ago, I did a job for a couple that were still in the process of moving into a newly built lakehouse. They needed 4 TVs mounted, two in bedrooms, one in the living room, and one over an outdoor fireplace. They had several other small things that needed done as well, furniture assembly and the like.
Everything but the living room TV went smoothly. The mounting went fine, as the builder had blocking specifically put in for the TV above the fireplace mantle. The only issue being that the blocking was too high for where the client wanted the TV, so I used the hex lugs from the mounting set on the top row of the bracket, and two 1/2 toggle bolts on the bottom (spaced around 20” apart to avoid putting too much stress on too small a section of drywall).
So, I mounted the TV, and turned it on. Lo and behold, it was cracked. I hadn’t checked the TV screen prior to installation, so I had to assume I had done it. The clients were extremely patient about the entire thing, and suggested returning it to Walmart. I returned it, they bought the new one, and I installed it. No issues, just a load of stress and a ton of apologizing.
Now, skip ahead to yesterday. I had been back there several times for a variety of small projects they needed done, and the clients decided they’d like to change the angle of the TV in the living room to sit flatter against the wall. So, the husband and I took off the TV, I changed the mounting angle (the load of the TV made it tough to do while mounted), and remounted the TV. After it was back up, I was working on slightly adjusting how it was sitting, and BOOM. The mount came out of the wall completely.
The bottom rail brackets hadn’t been put back on yet thankfully, so I was able to catch the TV as it fell. The top lugs apparently weren’t set properly into the 2x10 blocking, and obviously my two toggle bolts on the bottom didn’t do nearly enough to support the weight (dumb of me not to better support the top, and to even bother with the toggles).
So, I reattached the mount with some 6” lag screws I had on hand. 4 on top, one on the bottom through a stud. I hung from it to ensure it was secure, put the TV back up, and was distraught but unsurprised to find that there was a crack behind the glass of the TV in the top right corner.
I had only $329 in my bank account, and the TV was worth $578 or so (70” Samsung). I told them I’d give them everything I had, and not charge for that days work/come back and work until we were square. Again, they were extremely patient, and only asked me to pay for half. So I paid them $320 (I wanted to do as much as I could), and we went and got yet another TV. After it was on the wall and 100% secure, they still paid me $100 for the day (I fought like hell against taking it).
It was a shit day, and I don’t think I’ll be touching another TV mount. But, let me tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever met sweeter clients. I’m pretty young to be working solo (22), and so I know some mistakes are a given, but it was a profoundly disheartening experience. Especially so because it was entirely due to an oversight that came from inexperience.
All that said, I made a similar mistake when I was younger working as a tile setter. I cut a marble curb too short - on rent week no less. It left me broke after buying a new one, but I never made the same mistake. I hope this was a new, hard way for me to learn to be more cautious and through in the future.
I’m determined to make it up to them somehow - just not in any way that involves handling a TV.
TL;DR I was a dumbass who managed two break two TVs at the same job, and I’m extremely grateful to have the kindest clients known to man.
