Playing the 2.1 story, Constance's ability to just inserts herself into the memory of Acheron's music box was just never explained. I've had the thought that she's somehow related to the Remembrance but I had not fully connected all the dots until 2.2.
In the beginning when Boothill was talking about his "Memokeeper informant", he said 2 things that hinted at the fact that his informant was not Black Swan like many people that had assumed.

He talked about his informant like he had actually met her face to face as she "scares the fudge" out of him when she appears and disappears. Which cannot be Swan at that point.

His informant also told him that Acheron is a Nihility Emanator which absolutely cannot be Black Swan as he was the one who told her that Acheron is the Nihility's Emanator.
So, I would put forth that this mysterious "Memokeeper" who just so happens to know that Acheron is a Nihility Emanator and also informs a Galaxy Ranger who would care about her calling herself a Galaxy Ranger, is none other than Constance.
I would also go one step further to say that she's not just a "Memokeeper" as she has claimed to Boothill, she's a Cremator who we've already met in the Simulated Universe in an occurrence called: The Cremators.

Pretty gray if you ask me.
And also "a colorful flame" that appears when she opened her eyes.

So what do you all think? Do ya'll agree or disagree? Got any thoughts on the matter?

Honestly, I feel like I have to vent. Sure I feel like I have some faults too but we'll get there.
Ever since we got laid off, it's been a struggle to get back for me. I work from 7 a.m. in the morning to 5 p.m. or 6p.m. in the evening. Six days a week. It's frustrating to come home, and my roommate is complaining about me forgetting to get pinsol and clorox. He yells about me eating all his stuff and the laundry detergent I haven't bought in a few weeks.
Yet he misses the fact that almost everyday, I eat out. I have to drive an hour to and from work. I ate a few things out of one bag and drank a little juice he had cause I was sick. I stretched that laundry detergent. We wouldn't be able to wash at the house without me getting a washer and dryer. Like a child this guy bucks up to me saying, 'swing bitch' like a child. This guy has the nerve to call this place his house like he pays the bills himself.
Because of him, his dogs had puppies and for three to four months, we had extra mouths to feed. He leaves bottles of mountain dew and cans all on the floor. He refuses to clean dishes but if he does clean them, he gets angry. Only time I have seen him clean up the house is because he's bringing over a girl.

Lately I’ve been trying to make more friends but I’ve noticed a pattern. All my friends I have now are autistic which isn’t bad ofc but every single person I find a connection with is autistic. I haven’t been diagnosed with autism but I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. At first I was scared thinking I’m subconsciously manipulating them into being friends with me since I know many autistic people lack social skills. Then I started thinking i genuinely love to be around autistic people I don’t know if it’s their bluntness or the fact they don’t try to fit in with everyone else but I really enjoy their company. For some reason there’s also a click when I meet people and I’ve only noticed that “click” with autistic ppl. With that being said I don’t understand non-autistic ppl usually they are kindaaaa….boring? The whole small talk thing makes me wanna rip my ears off. All they say is “good” and I know that’s normal but I rlly want to know more. Anywho I want to be able to be friends with autistic and non autistic ppl but I don’t know how. Frankly I get really bored with non autistic ppl bc there’s nothing to talk about and if it is they’re not rlly excited about it well at least not as excited as me. I want to be friends I really do so advice?

i was diagnosed with moderate to severe depression and anxiety by a psychiatrist yesterday but i dont want to label myself as mentally ill because i lack strength or faith to overcome spiritual warfare. maybe im feeding into the lies of satanic by claiming such things over myself rather than taking a step in faith and obeying God wholeheartedly.
i know people cant diagnose me here but PLEASE, if you experienced similar things please please please tell me if you came to a conclusion of it.

• idk whats leading me, compulsion or the Holy Spirit
• it feels like a crushing burden that i need to fulfil or else something bad will happen
• but the actions can be deemed generally good and godly (fasting, confession, bowing down)
• shouldnt i just accept this suffering as people did in the Bible? isn’t me claiming sickness a sign of cowardice or running away from God? i feel like im failing God when i don’t do these things
• i feel caught in the middle
• i keep researching and asking people for advice but i cant come to a conclusion, but i know faith requires a step of action even when we don’t fully know something
• when i read the Bible or hear sermons i feel anxious because im avoiding the thing im supposed to be doing (fast for 3 days, gather your family in one room and preach repentance)
  
• when i begin to get stressed i get intrusive thoughts that i should off myself, im worthless, and im going to hell, im doomed and ive failed God
  
• maybe this is all a lack of submission and obedience
  
• i really do want to obey and please God, but why do i feel depressed and anxious even when i am obeying God? isnt that spiritual attack from the enemy who is trying to stop God’s plans for me?
  
• i dont feel peace in my relationship with God anymore, fasting or not i feel troubled deep down
  
• i hate myself and i want to die. im failing God when this is the only thing im supposed to do
  
• i cant stop breaking down and having panic attacks. when i feel “fine” in the back of my mind i feel like im running away from God
  
• i wake up in the middle of my sleep and cant sleep more than 5 hours because i feel anxious
  
• i feel anxious over things such as going into the wrong room, failing to speak to a person that God is leading me to, picking the wrong clothes, not emptying my bladder fully, not completing chores enough, and small miniscule everyday actions
  
• ive had anxiety over being contaminated when i was younger (9-14) i couldnt touch doorknobs or any handles even now because theyre infected. cant touch other peoples hands or if someone touched me i was contaminated and dirty. maybe it came back in this form
  
• i dont know if this need to do something is really from God because were supposed to trust in Him in all our ways but i feel so crushed. im sick of my lack of faith and disobedience.
  
• i think im harming everyone around me by my lack of obedience
  

Im 24 years old and identified as gay for most of my life. But have started to have feelings for my one of my best friends who is a woman. I'm kinda confused and still figuring out things with my sexuality. I want to tell her but also don't want to fucked the friendship up. She also just had a bad break up and don't want to be that guy who comforts her then tries to make the move. But I feel if I don't say anything soon I'll miss the opportunity at something amazing. I've miss opportunities before in the past with guys I liked and don't want it to happen again with her, she has an amazing personality and is super chill. Any advice would be appreciated. Apologies for any typos. Was in a rush when typing this.

So like, it's really not that bad. Obviously getting emoted at isn't the worst thing in the world. Few children will be rendered sobbing messes from anything this game has to offer, but still, to me the sheer presence of it all is totally unprecedented.
I guess like, I'm used to Nintendo. They offer no form of messaging whatsoever in their games to minimize inapproproate interactions. Splatoon offers no interaction, the only way to taunt another player is to "crouchspam" after a kill, which if you're 9, probably even fails to register as an attempt at bullying. Smash 4 randomly limited the intricately animated taunts, and Ultimate bans it entirely! Pokemon is even stricter. Playing PvP in a traditional Pokemon game is completely devoid of player ro player communication save for the battle, and I can't say I recall Pokken or Pokemon Unite having any interaction either.
So like. I boot up this game right. And not only do you have the ability to endlessly make faces at your opponent, one of THE most universal forms of taunting, but a sassy, boast-y win quote is usually shoved in your face with every loss, plus an animation of the person that just beat you flexing. There's no way to disable any of this or report a player either, a feature several of the games mentioned above include.
Now like, again, I don't mean to imply this is like. Evil. I'm not on here to demand it be removed immediately(!!!), I don't have a kid to get their feeling hurt or anything, I'm just surprised it's here AT ALL. My entire life Nintendo and Pokemon has attempted to minimize bullying through their games as much as they possibly can, and this game, in comparison, has gone out of its way to include wildly unecessary features that seem to specifically cater it. Like if this was Street Fighter or something I wouldn't even blink, but the fact it's a game and company so famously tied to having a child audience is what throws me for a loop. Like, I've played a lot of Yugioh Duel Links and a bit of Magic the Gathering Arena - both of those games offer mutes, reports, and don't offer intentionally bragadocious win quotes and the ability to sarcastically pull exaggerated grins at your opponent throughout the entirety of the match. I haven't even mentioned that the game's incredibly long timer allows pretty much any deck to drastically extend a game if your opponent's feeling petty.
Is anyone else as taken aback by this as me??? It's just like. One of the intentionally teasiest games I've ever played is the pokemon trading card game app???? What????? It's bizarre

I feel so awful—
I’d only had say, three hours of sleep and so my mind, which already struggles with focus and concentration, was everywhere.
I had to disclose my history of a suicide attempt, which was fairly recent, and while I appreciate there’s a lot of triggers in social work, I just felt — so shit about myself. I know it’s for my own well-being and ultimately he reassured me that he couldn’t find anything that would disqualify me from practising, but it didn’t occur to me while I was filling in the application that I had to give my entire history.
He was pleasant enough, I just felt really cross at myself because once again, I lacked common sense to prepare for a vulnerable conversation. It just feels like every turn of this application process is a kick-to-the-balls reminder of how I won’t be capable of doing it.
He told me lots of students experience these things. I just feel weak which is weird because I’d never accuse anyone else who struggles, as weak.

So for some context me 23 female and 23 male broke up in December it was extremely messy. And things on his end were getting toxic towards the end.
He told my mom 45 female off through text calling her horrible names (because she denied that I was sexually assaulted by her boyfriend 50 male and insulted me for even suggesting that) I wasn’t mad I was anxious I knew it came from a place of concern and protection whether it was the right thing to do or not I know where his heart was.
Well since then she has hated him. She’s furious that him and I are “hanging out” and she says he’s banished from our family home I grew up in as a child and she will never be near him or speak to him again. I can understand she’s hurt. There was no pleasant part of the message that he sent her however it was more of a rude fact based message then how she makes it out to be slander. There wasn’t anything untrue in the message at all.
My mom and I aren’t overly close. And I feel this is driving a wedge between us further. After the whole message thing happened in November she disowned me for almost 2 months and I’m scared she will do it again. Is there anyway I can break the news without another fight from her? So far I haven’t made any progress.
No one knows that we are back together in my life because like I said he did do some pretty crappy things to me and I told them everything because I was hurt and at the time never thought we were going to get back together.
I can understand her frustration however she only cares about what he said to her and “that should be enough to stay away from him”
I really love my bf. We were separated for ruffly 5 months and have had a lot of time for self reflection. As bad as things may have got in the past I feel in my heart that he is the one. I know he will always love me and we want to spend the rest of our life together.
I feel like even if I left him for the sake of my mom or friends I would always love him and feel regret. I’ve never been so comfortable around another human like I am with him. He truly gets me and me him. We are not perfect by no means but I want this to work and that should probably start with my loved ones knowing.

I'm new to Reddit and this team. I'm working on doing podcasts. My thing is finding the underlying context in the book of Mark. The idea Mark wrote it purposely this way is around here somewhere I was told, in a letter from Clement. It's part of The Secret, I am told is also around here somewhere. I'll look for it.
[ETA INSERT: The search the subreddit at the top works. Here is the Secret post. It's too long but the top half is what relates to my work.]
King wanted to know how to do podcasts here, same way as You Tube, in a video. I'm going to experiment with RSS feeding or linking or embedding from my blog. I'm also working on Wrytermom to narrate because I sound really bad. Not going well.
My present project for the Elect:
Mark 4:9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:15 For this people's hearts are calloused and their ears are dull of hearing. They have shut their eyes. Yet, at any time should they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their hearts and be converted, and I will heal them.
Matthew 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
John 8:43,47
"Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot bear to hear my word.
Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God; for this reason you will not listen, because you do not belong to God.”
So I'm pretty busy and won't be around that much at first.

Today I got a call from my agency that my contract was going to be cut short due to a few complaints. I need other nurses’ opinion on this please.
Context: I’m contracted at a rural multi purpose hospital, combined emergency, acute medical and residential care. It’s purely nurse-led with medical officers on call who can get on the telehealth/screen in ED if needed. Plus a doctor who physically visits approx 3x a week in AM shifts.
There’s a senior RN who works casual shifts. We never really got along, although we’ve never had any direct conflict or arguments. She just makes a lot of comments about travel nurses, questioning our ED skills, how we made the nurses accomodation a “pig sty” (even though it’s spotless, no dishes on the sink, always dried and put away on the spot etc). Anyway she complained to the management that I don’t do complete handovers- for example I didn’t hand over to their shift that I gave a slow IV push of digoxin to an ED patient. Another nurse who was in the handover room 100% remembers that I did in fact hand it over including the period of time I took to push the drug in and what time. On top of that, all the drugs given were charted and co signed by us, all available for her to read. But she says I never handed it over.
Number two, there’s a complaint that I argued with the doctor and have “abrupt attitude.” I have never ever argued with anybody there- not the admin, nit the cleaners, not the medical team etc. I have opinions about the people but I always keep it to myself to avoid the work politics. The closest thing I can think of is the doctor DECLINED to see a head injury patient I handed over, because she would rather suture a non urgent wound on the limb in another room. Without asking who, what, how, when, she just replied “I don’t want to see him” with a smile on her face. I said “They’re actually in that other room right now and have timed their arrival to see you.” And she went “Well I’ll be too busy suturing in there.” And that was end. She refused to see him 100%. Fortunately, the same coworker who is vouching I handed over the digoxin also witnessed this interaction. The patient was clinically well and neuro obs okay so he was discharged with a minor traumatic brain injury fact sheet. I explained all the warning signs and to come back if so. He returned the next day unwell and I texted her again to come SEE him, that’s when she finally saw him. And the kid ended up getting a CT scan in a bigger hospital. Luckily, there was no brain bleed. This was an INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS situation and I have so many regrets because I didn’t advocate for that patient enough. Luckily he was okay and he went home. I also had another chest pain patient who presented twice on the same day- I followed protocol, did the ECG and bloods. The dr was giving me attitude that it was clearly non-cardiac and non-urgent, rather mental health related. Regardless, I did my job and followed protocols for chest pain. Then the pharmacy called me asking about a loratadine script not matching the online med chart, and wanted to clarify which drug the doctor wanted. Obviously I was not going to tell her which drug to dispense (as I’m not a doctor) so I passed it on to the doctor. Her response was “This question is so petty. I don’t really care.” As you can see, despite this doctor’s attitude, I’ve been very patient and kept things to myself to remain professionalism. These are the closest interactions I can think of to an “argument.” The only person other than my witness who knew about this interaction was the same RN above who complained about the digoxin
Fourth, we do our own blood pathologies onsite due to being rural. So when I had a chest pain, I placed a 24 gauge IV cannula on a 71 year olds r) forearm SOLELY for the collection of bloods. My thinking was rather than poking her 3x for repeat bloods I would cannulate her to collect from the same cannula (you only need 1 mL or less each time). I already told this to the LPN/LVN who questioned the size of the cannula. I assured her at the event we had to administer IV drugs, it would be given in a bigger cannula on the L) forearm (as I avoid collecting blood from the same IV where drugs and fluids are being pushed into). This is also documented in her acute folder, cannulation form (under reason for cannulation is BLOODS). Anyway this LPN complained that I’m using the wrong IV size. Iwant to clarify NO IV DRUGS were given. Only ORAL. That IV was purely for bloods. But you know what, thinking about it, even if I were to push fluids through there, it wouldn’t be wrong. 24 gauge is used on paediatrics AND elderly AND adults with miniature sensitive veins.
But despite all of this, my contract has been cut shorter by weeks and the agency has asked me not to approach the management. And to finish my contract quietly and in peace. They won’t pass my feedback on out of fear it will cause conflict in their relationship with the client. Additionally, moving forward, they cannot place me in ED contracts anymore until I’ve completed a medical/acute contract and gotten good feedback.
To me this absolute bullshit so I told them this will be the last contract with them (I have other agencies). Did I do the right thing? Was I wrong in any of these scenarios? Please give feedback as I want to improve myself as a nurse…

Hey fellow style enthusiasts! I just wanted to share a little story about where I find inspiration for my GTA Online character's wardrobe. It's not your typical fashion guru tale, but I think you might find it interesting. So, grab some e-cola and sit back. 😎🍹
A while back, I was roaming through Los Santos, feeling a bit uninspired by the usual clothing options. I mean, we've all been there, right? You hit all the stores, try on the latest threads, but nothing feels quite... you. That's when I decided to take a break from the grind and just enjoy the virtual sunset by Vespucci Beach. And there it was, a group of players with the most eclectic, vibrant styles I'd ever seen. It was like a fashion show had spontaneously erupted on the boardwalk!
I spent the next hour just watching these avatars strut their stuff, and my mind was racing with ideas. I started to mix and match pieces in ways I hadn't thought of before. Neon biker jackets with vintage jeans, high-end suits paired with streetwear sneakers – the possibilities were endless. I realized that in GTA Online, just like in real life, fashion is about expressing yourself and having fun with it.
Inspired by this revelation, I began documenting my character's outfits and sharing them with friends. The response was so positive that I started to think bigger. Why not create a place where people could get inspired by a curated collection of high-quality style ideas? A hub for all things fashion in GTA Online, updated weekly with fresh looks.
And that's how my project, dashy.so, came to life. It's a little side hustle where I share my passion for GTA style with the world. If you're ever in need of some outfit inspiration or just want to see what's trending in the virtual fashion world, give it a peek. Who knows, it might just spark your next big look in Los Santos!
Remember, in the world of GTA Online, your style is your signature. So go out there and make your mark, fashionistas! And if you ever want to chat about the latest trends or need some advice on putting together that perfect outfit, I'm always around. After all, I'm not just a fan of fashion; I created dashy.so to help us all stay sharp in the city of saints and sinners. 😉✨

Every bit of gamedev media I see always emphasises how important it is to have a lot of wishlists before you release a game since Steam uses that as a metric for recommending your game. I fully understand that and it makes a ton of sense.
The thing I'm wondering about it how important are wishlists after release? If you release your game and only a year later does it have a substantial increase in wishlists, would Steam still recommend it and promote it the same way it would have been if it launched with that many wishlists?
Are there any metrics/imperical data that people have to show the effectiveness of wishlists after launch? Just really curious. Thanks for reading!

So, my fiance ( M, 22) and I ( F, 21 ) have been engaged for a little more than a year now. It’s been a rocky road, I just had a baby about 3 months ago and even before the baby was born our sex life has been ridiculous.
For example; I wouldn’t be satisfied, it would slip and hurt me vv badly to the point I would cry, I would be turned off, he would go soft, etc., etc. It’s just a never ending circle of failing. At first maybe around 6-7 months ago, he would go limp and we would both would laugh it off. Later on, I would over think and try to top up my game by taking a shower, brushing my teeth, deodorant all the hygienic stuff right before we went to bed or right before I knew he would wake up (usually our private time). But that wasn’t working either, it made me feel like I wasn’t attractive anymore and we sat down and talked about it. He said that he would just be stressed. So, I tried to make it a little calmer and tried talking to him about things every 2 days so he could get things off his mind and try to relieve the stress, didn’t work. I asked him what positions work for him and what turns him on the most but nothing worked, I felt like even when I’m trying to risk my satisfaction for him it didn’t matter because he wasn’t being satisfied. (I’m not including oral, that area is perfectly fine.) He says that he doesn’t really have any fantasies or things that he wants to try, no matter how much I ask him. I’ve told him that vanilla is wonderful and I would like to do it that way and he would agree until we start getting to it and it’s almost like he never heard me in the first place, even if it was rough I’ve told him what I like but it NEVER happens or happenED.
I’m not sure what to do at this point in time anymore. Some days it’s okay for him, maybe once every week maybe more? but I’m still not getting any satisfaction from anything we’ve been doing. I don’t even thing I’ve got the full sunshine and rainbows since we’ve been together, I would lie about it. I mean it feels good but at the end of it all I’m either hot and sweating or throbbing from overstimulation and not being able to relieve any built up activity.
I have no idea what to do about this at all, I love him. We’ve have some rocky times since the baby but I feel like things have gotten a lot better for us emotionally and mentally since the past two months. I just want us to be able to get through whatever we are going through with our sex life because I mean it’s not like this is a new problem for me. This might sound ridiculous but I started the free month trial for the brand Blew chew (which in my knowledge is chewable viagra) he’s been talking about viagra for the passed 2 weeks so I figured I would surprise him with it? I know we already discussed we don’t want an open relationship, we want to stay together and have had a moment in time where we almost separated due to mental and emotional bumps but we’ve smoothed out the bumps in those areas and we are so happy together when it comes to loving each other and loving our 2 kids. We have so much fun with the kids and just by ourselves, but when it comes to both of us in the bedroom I don’t know what to do.
If anyone might have any advice please let me know! Thank you!

Does anyone have the same conflicting feelings towards their alcoholic parent who technically "hasn't done anything wrong"?
They are not abusive drunks, they don't hit or yell at people, they still do things like cook, some chores, be somewhat functioning, etc.
But yet there is still a lot of pent up anger and hate towards them that you kinda feel bad about it. Sometimes I see things or news about spending time with your loved ones when you can because you don't know when they'll be gone, and I'm just kinda torn between feeling bad about it, yet also remembering the frustration each time I try to be in the same room as them and seeing what they do or say.
In some way it feels like I should not be angry towards someone who actually took care and provided for me since young, idk. It feels like I'm being ungrateful.

I’m currently on my first year of Physiotherapy studies, and I’m trying to figure out how will I be able to stay sharp on all of the things I currently study. It just seems currently that at one point I’ll lose track of everything. So how does a professional therapist involve learning and especially what will you put your emphasis on (muscle groups as apposed to cardiovascular physiology etc) Is it books? Materials from your days as a student? Courses and higher education? Teaching?
Thank you all in advance 🦦

So they just posted the camp western road map and the festival this year is barely 3 weeks instead of the normal 4....they even say at the end that if the festival is too short it's ok because a colorful festival is just around the corner (rainbow festival, which they claimed they added nothing new to this year to focus on camp western and other things which makes it even more confusing that camp western was made so short) . The reason why it being over a week shorter is a big deal is because thats over a week less time to be able to earn the sets with tokens....
It seems (from spoilers) we have even more token sets this year and way less time to earn them. I'm just not getting why they moved the festival up from July/Aug like last year to now May only to make it the shortest main festival and knock a whole week off.
Rant over lol, just noticed that and got pretty disappointed, especially with how expensive everything in the game is, it's a pretty big deal to have as much time as possible to earn the free sets (which they really aren't even technically free as you are grinding tons to get them, but you know what I mean).
