2024.05.14 01:55 flwwhtrbt Mini Pirate News

Well, let's wrap up what I've found at the very least interesting in the last couple weeks for pirates and purists alike! This one is very small, not much happening lately!
Sony:
As maybe you've seen, there's no better indication that 'if they don't let you buy it, then pirate it' than Sony delists Ghost of Tsushima PC from various Steam regions, much like Helldivers 2 saw.

Following Sony's decision last week to delist Helldivers 2 in 170 regions worldwide on Steam, it seems this will be the firm's PC stance moving forward, and it has since done the same for the imminent PC release of Ghost of Tsushima. More regions have been added to the list, taking the total number of territories affected to 180, which is now consistent across both titles.
Previously, Sony has said that Ghost of Tsushima's single player offering would be unaffected by this additional requirement. The game's Steam Page still states that a PSN account is required to play the Legends multiplayer mode, but it was delisted anyway. Due to the open nature of Valve's platform, these changes are pretty visible, and including Sucker Punch's primarily single player open world epic in this blanket ban comes as a legitimate surprise.
SteamDB's post here shows the refund.
This is bullshit. The good news? Sony do not use Denuvo for their PC games, so it will be available as soon as possible to be pirated.


Rockstar:
By all accounts, it looks like Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption will be releasing on PC - in line with their usual tactics of releasing on a console platform and leaving PC for last, at least it will (probably) be coming to PC.


Denuvo:
A Denuvo 'outage' made a completely single-player game Persona 5 unplayble - amusingly Denuvo claim that "there was no outage related to its servers at this time"
The thing we can take away from this is Denuvo sucks, and it's just better to play the damn thing via Yuzu or Ryujinx.

Related, we now see that it is confirmed that Homeworld 3 will release with Denuvo. The only good news is that Gearbox is one of the few publishers who remove Denuvo. So...just wait for this one.


Just...interesting and useful:
This video guide via YouTuber 'MonroeWorld' shows you how to SSHFS - mount your Steam Deck as a Windows drive.
"Access your Deck's storage using whatever file manager or tools you want ON AND FROM Windows. In a few minutes, you can copy roms, access compatdata, backup/restore save files and more without ever leaving the comfort of Windows. In about ten minutes, you will have your common Steam Deck locations mounted as drive letters in Windows - accessing them just like any other Windows drive" 
Here is a github link for a GUI for the sshfs manager


Hydra Launcher:
Hydra is an open-source launcher released in the last few weeks by the Brazilian community. Being able to download and launch games from fitgirl and dodi - it has/is a torrent client, automatically applies metadata for games, emulators and roms; seems to hope to be an all-in-one piracy portal. Personally, I prefer to manually add games from trusted links myself. But I'm paranoid. At least it is interesting.

Hydra is a free open game launcher focused on being 100% safe, self-sufficient, ad-free, without registration, without subscription and without waiting times.
Hydra combines games from platforms like Steam and Epic Games with trackers from repackers/crackers known and trusted by the pirate gaming community (such as Fitgirl, Dodi and KaOsKrew.
The game downloads are done directly through the platform, as we have our own private torrent protocol.
Hydra currently has the capability to search among a list of more than 13,000 repacks posted in secure places on the internet, but not limited to that. being self-sufficient, Hydra can navigate the trackers not only looking for updates of games that are already registered but also for games that have just been released.


Lastly the AMA with Dodi:
Well and truly locked in for the 16th. I have a post pinned at the top of PiratedGames, and have just reached out to the mods of Piracy about posting in their sub letting the users know what is happening. I also just posted in his discord server (at his behest). The only thing yet to be determined will be the exact time, for Americans it may be the 15th (your time), but...time-zones fry my brain so I don't know. Really excited about having him come by, the repacker scene is fascinating to me, so I can't wait to hear what he says.

Guides?
I'm working on one lil guide since its been awhile since my last. Most probably will post after the aforementioned AMA.

Lastly?
Thanks to all of you, we're nearing 17k members here and you're all super lovely. This is such a strange sub-reddit because everyone is so damned nice. I just wanted to thank you all for being here, it makes it so nice.
If you wanted to show off your Deck's home screen - then this post a couple days ago is where you can do it!


Thanks, all <3

2024.05.14 01:39 AwesomePossum101x Elden Ring Review: Perspective from a Non-Souls Player

I have not played any Souls or Soulslike games prior to Elden Ring. But I enjoyed doing hard things in games (e.g. playing at a higher difficulty level, or handicapping myself in some ways to create a challenge) and thought I'd give Elden Ring a go. I ended up spending over 70 hours on it and I enjoyed it very much, but it's a game that has its own idiosyncrasies.
I'll start with two things that I think Elden Ring did very well. The first, its combat system and character building. Most games introduce complexity into the combat system by introducing a myriad of skills/spells, and players are encouraged to explore synergy between them to create powerful builds. At the fundamental level, Elden Ring isn't any different here, but players will quickly notice there aren't that many skills/spells in the game, and you only can equip one skill (or a handful of spells) at one time. How Elden Ring rewards players is through mastery of their weapons, i.e. how much you understand about your weapon - its reach, its speed, its recovery (after a swing), how it combos, etc. And with over 30 different weapon types in the game (from swords to spears to fists to whips), there's much for a player to explore what weapon fits their style of play. Character building ultimately revolves around your weapon of choice, as it influences how you would distribute your attributes (strength vs. dexterity), what sorts of armours or accessories to wear, and what skills/spells to equip. It's intuitive but yet complex, producing a range of diverse builds, all with its own distinct flavours.
The second thing that Elden Ring did very well is the immersive atmosphere and visuals. The world of Elden Ring is introduced briefly in the beginning to set the stage, and what follows is an exploration of a mysterious realm shrouded in myth and legends. The developers have meticulously crafted a world that is as captivating as it is enigmatic, from the awe-inspiring landscapes that stretch out before you to the larger-than-life creatures that roam its vast expanses.
With that I want to now talk about the fundamental tenet that Elden Ring is built on: difficulty. Difficulty is something that permeates the game and is linked to how various aspects of the game are designed: general encounters, progression, storytelling, dungeon crawling and boss fights. I'll now explain each of these aspects in detail.
General encounters are hard in Elden Ring. This won't be any surprise to seasoned Souls players, but will likely catch new players by surprise how unforgiving it is. Non-boss enemies aren't really a threat in most games, but not in Elden Ring. Any enemy is a threat in this game (including rats), and if you're not careful, you will die. And probably a lot, particularly early on before you're familiar with the combat system. You can't change the difficulty in Elden Ring, and so you are expected to die to become better at the game. There are no ways out.
The game is very cryptic when it comes to providing guidance to help players progress. Unlike most games where there are map markers or some sort of hinting system to help players progress to the next event, all Elden Ring does is that it tells you an approximate direction (e.g. northwest) to move towards for the next objective. As such, you may often find yourself lost and don't know where to go or even what to do. This applies to both main story and side quests. On top of that, the conditions for completing a quest often involves doing a sequence of actions in a particular order without being given any hint. I find such a design mind boggling, and I simply don't see how you would be able to play the game blind without relying on online resources.
The world of Elden Ring is rich with lore and character narratives. But none of that is communicated to the players and as a consequence it is difficult to understand what the story of Elden Ring is about. That is, there is barely any storytelling, despite the world and its characters being embedded with stories (which you can read online). The first time I ran into a soldier encampment, I thought I could talk to them to learn a bit about the world, but all they want to do is to kill me. I quickly learn there's only one rule in the game: kill anything that moves. No one (aside from a handful of NPCs) has anything to tell me, and I am killing all manners of things simply because that is the only interaction I can have with them. When I killed the final bosses and completed the game, I don't even know who they were - I haven't heard of their names, nor do I know what roles they served in the game. I murdered them because they were simply there. Miyazaki, the creator of Elden Ring (and more generally the Soulsborne series), credited this style of storytelling to how he grew up reading English novels with limited understanding and he had to piece the story together with his imagination. While I think that's an interesting anecdote, I am not convinced that's a good justification for such style of storytelling.
Dungeon crawling is punishing in Elden Ring for a few reasons. For one, when you die, you have a chance to lose all the experience that you have not converted to levels. Healing at a save point also respawns all enemies, and that disincentivises exploration because you'll have to chop down all the enemies again to check for an earlier diverging path. Also, Elden Ring dungeons feature unintuitive design where the right path sometimes requires you to drop off a ledge or balcony; that caught me a few times and I had to rely on online resources for help. Over time, I find myself playing more conservatively in dungeons and trying to find the shortest path rather than checking every nook and corner to fully explore a dungeon. I did not enjoy dungeon crawling in Elden Ring, and I think the whole experience would have been much more positive with just one change: remove enemy respawn entirely.
Bosses take hours to beat. Players are expected to die repeatedly to learn how to fight a boss, and the learning curve involves: (1) understanding their moves and figuring out how to dodge them; and (2) finding the gaps between their attacks to land your offense. This is perhaps the one of the few difficult aspects in Elden Ring that I very much enjoyed. Bosses are well designed and come in all forms of creative maneuvers, and overcoming them ultimately prove to be a very satisfying experience. I spent 7 hours taking down Malenia, the undisputed hardest boss in Elden Ring (and arguably one of the hardest in the Souls universe), and I enjoyed every bit of it.
Hopefully it's clear now in what ways difficulty manifests in Elden Ring. But are they enjoyable? That is a very subjective question, as it depends on many factors - your personality, temperament, state of life, gaming experience, etc. Personally, I found most of them frustrating, at least initially, but later on a good part of this frustration is mitigated because I started using online resources such as wikis and guides. But should a game be designed in such a way where players have to use online guides to play it? Prior to Elden Ring I would say no, but here's another thought: maybe Elden Ring is designed to be played by a community (as opposed to one player) and that knowledge sharing among players is what the developer intended to overcome these challenges.
If someone were to ask me, should they play Elden Ring? I'd give this answer: (1) if you like Souls games, it's a no brainer; (2) if you haven't played any Souls games before but you enjoy a bit of challenge in games, maybe give it a go with an open mind; and (3) if you are casual player that mostly play standard difficulty in games, I'd say avoid it - you're likely to find just pure frustration.

2024.05.13 23:17 MightyMoosePoop [All] How an Amazon OP today is some evidence many socialists starve for capitalism reform like PRC or like centrally command economies like the USSR.

In an OP today titled, "Would Amazon exist in a purely socialist country?" socialist after socialist claimed quickly and with little to no qualifiers resounding "yes".
These "Yes" really told us nonsocialists a lot about you socialists. This was mind boggling. Mind boggling because the majority socialists on here reject Marxist-Leninist history (e.g., not socialism), but here many of you claim that Amazonon existing in a socialist country would be so obviously, "Yes". We are talking about an innovation company that is probably the most significant market global impact in the world since Ford's assembly line.
Ranking fifth in the world in terms of market cap with a staggering $1.045 trillion (CompaniesMarketCap, 2023), Amazon has been able to cement itself as a global giant that has altered how we shop and live. Expanding beyond just delivering goods, it is also a media streaming service and manufactures other technologies such as “Alexa”. Amazon has quickly become one of the most recognizable company names throughout the world. It has achieved such success that it has become commonly used as a verb in everyday language, much like “Google.” However, like many other large corporations today such as Google and Facebook, Amazon started out as a small business building its way up to being a large corporation. The History of Amazon and its Rise to Success – Michigan Journal of Economics (umich.edu)
This leads me to conclude a few things about socialists on here:
The reason most of you are in denial is how much leadership and venture capital businesses like Amazon take. These concepts are the antithesis of what most of you hold dear to "socialism". These are disruptors to the economy.
I cannot understate the following enough and why socialists are particularly bad at the following. If you seek benefits then what are the costs???
In this case, Amazon is going to change jobs for millions of workers and even workers are going to lose jobs. Right now, Amazon has a pharmacy. It is going to put a strain on local pharmacies and some will go under. How is that pro workers?
Pro consumers? YES
Then, mostly Amazon is not a producer but a third party. So they are almost no matter what you do a capitalist model. As they are going in order to function have to profit off of other industries - profit off of workers. Thus this means for most of you socialists you have to enact forms of laws, edicts, or some form of constitutional framework to protect "the workers" from being exploited by Amazon.
The simplest answer is to nationalize Amazon. Hence my last two bullet points of either being a full-blown Soviet Union centrally planned economy (or similar form) or going the Dengist route and overseeing the company by the socialist worker's party. These simple answers leaves out most if not all libertarian and anarchist socialists on this sub. So the answer is most all socialists should be "NO!" to that op. But where are they?
Lastly, that's me working through the problem. Those reading this may have other ideas. I'm not saying I have all the answers. I'm saying it is really sad I have more ideas than the socialists on that thread. The socialists on the thread just seem to go, "Yes" like it will be no problem - smh. And that is really telling how in the clouds most socialists are and don't take the economic realities of their ideology.
tl;dr Something stinks and isn't on the so-called capitalism side.

Considerations for Choosing an Operating System

When you compare GrapheneOS and stock Android, think about what matters most. If you are very concerned about privacy and security, GrapheneOS is great. It keeps your data safe and your device secure. However, if you like having many features, stock Android might suit you better.
GrapheneOS is especially good for Pixel devices. It promises many years of support. For example, 8th generation Pixels get 7 years, while older models get 5 years. GrapheneOS might not work with Android Auto or some banking apps. But it's very secure and focuses on keeping your privacy safe.
Stock Android works well with Google apps and has lots of features. You can use Google Maps and Google Keyboard easily. But, if you switch to GrapheneOS, you lose things like Google Pay and some unique Google features.
Choosing between GrapheneOS and stock Android is all about what you need and like. Think about your privacy wishes and how much you value convenience. Then, you can make a smart choice that meets your needs.

2024.05.13 22:53 Flashy-Let2771 Svenska som andraspråk class

You guys that study SVA do you think you have learn a lot? I really need to rant about school.
I study SVA1 50% on distance so it’s 10 weeks. No lectures, no extra study materials from the teacher. Only study from a textbook, one chapter. That’s it. The rest I have to google or ask someone. I asked the teacher one time because I didn’t understand some stuff, and she said I should google it. So I’m not even sure why I study.
I feel like I’ve wasted almost 10 weeks because I haven’t learnt anything. All my knowledge is from grundläggande level. I did all the homework, never turn in assignments late, went through all the chapter, did all online exercises at least 4 times. When I studied grund level, I got G in everything, and nailed all the tests. Even kapiteltest I would get really high scores.
Today I had a reading exam (NP). After first 15 minutes I knew that I would fail. There were 25 pages. I think there were 7-8 articles or more. Some are very long, and wow…they were on another level. All articles I’ve read in the textbook were easy compare to them.
And during the exam, the teacher didn’t explain anything. The exam had two parts, B and C. I checked all the pages, and was shocked because it was too much and too little time. We got only 3 hours. I tried to calm down, and stay positive. I thought to myself that I could do it. Just relax and read all of the articles carefully.
I looked at the clock, and I had one and a half hour left. I was at page 8. Then the teacher said “Sorry to interrupt you guys but you don’t need to do part C”. Part C started at page 20 or so. I almost said wtf out loud. So I stressed myself out for nothing. I lost all the concentration because this wasn’t the first time the teacher did something like this. She was really bad at communication throughout the whole course. She never explained things. I asked her something, and it took days for her to answer. I asked her last Tuesday about which dictionary we could use in the exam and she replied yesterday. A day before the exam. Like wtf. What was I supposed to do if no library were open?
I have two exams left, and to be honest I don’t care if I pass or not. I chose a distance class because I got really stressed from studying Swedish a year straight. I thought I could study on my own pace, but I didn’t even get study materials that would help me improve my skills to pass the NP. I’m really disappointed. ☹️
I checked that it takes only 5 weeks For each SVA course. 4 days a week at school. Can people really learn a lot in a short period of time? I know that someone can, but why is it only 5 weeks? I have heard a teacher said that 5 weeks is nothing because studying language takes time. Grund level takes 30 weeks full time. 5 days a week at school, but SVA takes only 15 weeks, and it’s much more difficult. I don’t understand a logic of this at all.

2024.05.13 22:33 Leon_Steel Introduction to my fictional Shared Universe the JoeVerse.

Introduction to my fictional Shared Universe the JoeVerse.
I want to share a overview/introduction to my fictional universe that I've been slowly building overtime. I've unfortunately fallen into eternal world building hell where I build far more than I write but at least I thoroughly enjoy it. What I mostly want from this post is to see if the wild amalgamation that is my universe is at least on a surface level "Coherent". I'll answer any questions best I can.
Disclaimer: the pictures shown in the character summaries are not mine and are shown for concept art purposes. These character summaries are taken from across the JoeVerse universe.
Notes: Some information is purposely left vague due to the requirement of story details and I tried to simply the explanations. It may see very unorganized but I created a continuity timeline to help keep track of the verse.
I also created detailed guides for the many Stories, Races/Species, Factions, Locations and Dear God hundreds of Character profiles. Speaking of characters, I really enjoy casual power scaling of fictional characters etc, so when scaling my own universe I exclusively reference the Vs Battle Wiki Tiering system. It is undeniably superb I recommend everyone at least check it out https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Tiering_System?so=search
Here is what a somewhat completed character profile would look like. https://docs.google.com/document/d/12KilbOVt5RFYg3IckKOYiLPt_UDjrBo5/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=111896033102767588703&rtpof=true&sd=true
Lastly, I agree the name of my verse is terrible, it is a placeholder, I will also be sharing a Fun Facts towards the bottom for shits & gigs.
Introduction:
Welcome to the JoeVerse(Name Pending), a long time literary project that acts as both homage to what I love as well as a deep-dive into my creative mind. The JoeVerse is a fictional "Shared Universe" where a large number of characters, locations and stories created primarily by myself and in collaboration with others take place. The JoeVerse is depicted as existing within a large "Multiverse" consisting of a number of separate & distinct universes, all of which help make up the JoeVerse Multiverse.
The most crucial aspect of the JoeVerse Multiverse is that it also incorporates a large number of genres from all major science fiction and fantasy concepts, such as how aliens, gods, magic, mythology, cosmic beings, parallel universes, interstellar travel and extremely advanced human-developed technology all exist prominently throughout the Multiverse.
The JoeVerse primarily was created to express my love for "Action" and the many forms it comes in. For example the many pieces of media entertainment I consumed as a child. e.g Cartoons, Comics, Anime, Books, Video Games, Martial arts, Music, Movies, etc) all strongly and directly influenced the creation of the JoeVerse. The JoeVerse's many stories primarily focus on the aspects I like about these pieces of entertainment such as Action, Characters, Power-Scaling, Continuity, Worldbuilding and Paying Homage to these oh so cherished pieces of media.
)))JoeVerse Prime: At the heart of this multiverse lies the mainstream continuity, which is known canonically as "JoeVerse Prime". JoeVerse Prime is based on a fictitious take on the real-world. For example, Earth found within the JoeVerse Prime has mostly all the features of the real one: same countries, same public personalities (politicians, movie stars, etc.), same historical events (such as World War II, the Cold War), and so on; however, it also contains many other fictional elements, such as new geographical locations, political organizations and a number of new & different historical events.
Corners & Sub-Corners:(Re-read if needed) The JoeVerse Prime is divided into four separate major settings of distinct & “Broad '' genres known as "Corners". The four respective Corners are Earth, Intergalactic, the Naatherlands and the Interdimensional. All Corners house minor settings of typically more “Focused” genres & stories known as "Sub-corners". The Corners and their respective Sub-corners are liable to "Crossover" and even connect with one another.
Four Corners explained:
)Earth: Starting with "Earth", home to an abundance of "Action & Adventure" series featuring primarily humanity through various times in history (I.e stories can take place anywhere from Ancient times all the way to the Modern era and beyond).The majority of stories told on Earth feature subjects & characters such as war, criminals, detectives, espionage, politics, assassins, soldiers, super soldiers, spies, mutants, zombies, magic, warriors, martial artists and then some.
There are also Earth's five sub-corners, starting with the "Underworld", home to the stories of "Urban Fantasy" about the supernatural & often cruel world of Vampires, Gargoyles, Lycans and much more all vying for survival and power while living just under the periphery of human civilization. The Underworld explores the supernatural civilization that has co-existed alongside humanity since ancient times.
Then the second Sub-corner, the "Holy War", a myriad of stories using lore based on the many “Mythologies & Folklore” of various human cultures, these stories follow the secret, ancient, bloody war of the Celestial Church. The Celestial Church is a 2000 year old clandestine organization of holy; warriors, soldiers, mages, knights, nuns, monks and more gathered from the many religions & cultures from around the globe to be the stalwart shield & sharpened blade against the supernatural, the unending swathes of powerful demons attempting to invade Earth and the unspeakable evil entities from alternate dimensions all of which has threatened humanity since it's conception.
Then the "West Coast Tales", a dramatic & grounded anthology series based in and around the West Coast of America. In every story we follow new characters in vastly different situations in life as they deal with family, drama, violence, romance, finances, sickness, coming of age, natural disasters, etc.
Then, the "Virtual World", a video game-like dimension that is home to various "LitRPG" focused stories. The Virtual World is directly connected to Earth via the highly popular, full-body capsule operated VRMMO known as the T.B.G system(Name pending). The Virtual world naturally houses the concept of "Gaming" thus it converts anything that enters it into data that follows its unique laws of reality and thus it has NPCs, Boss fights, Exp, Quest, Stats, H.U.Ds, Builds, Classes, etc.
Finally, the "Kaijin conflict" is the "Kaiju genre" focused storyline about the international conflict between the South Korean based Iskandar Industries with a human mutant sub-species known as the Kaijin. The Kaijin have superhuman abilities and are liable to become animalistic and go on a rampage; they also have the ability to transform into giant destructive monsters known as Kaijus.
)Naatherlands: The next Corner, the "Naatherlands", a large somber dimension that is home to the land of the "Supernatural & the Macabre". With it having stories of Vampires, Lycans, Gremlins, Gargoyles, Witches & Warlocks, horrific wildlife & flora and warring factions led by barbaric warlords. There is also varying levels of industrialized magic-based technology all in the backdrop of a Victorian era-esque(Gaslamp) setting.
And it's singular sub-corner the "Court of Blood", a "Political" focused series that shows the inner workings of the cunning, devious and often blood thirsty motives and actions of the royal members and leading factions of the upper echelon of the Naatherlands as they go about the cruel game of politics.
)Intergalactic: Third Corner, the "Intergalactic" is the setting encompassing the vast Cosmos of which Earth is a part of. The Intergalactic is home to various "Sci-fi" stories full of aliens, robots, artificial intelligence, spacecrafts, advanced and futuristic weapons & technology, interstellar bounty hunters, psychic power wielding warriors as well as galaxy spanning empires and Interstellar warfare.
Its first Sub-corner, "The War of Order & Chaos" is a "Mecha" inspired set of stories about the eternal struggle across the known universe between the immensely powerful chosen warriors of Order & Chaos known as the "Exuu'd". The Exuu’d are random individuals chosen from around the cosmos, if Chaos they are made to spread destruction, misery & death, if Order they are made to spread salvation, love & positivity. For the side of Chaos an Exuu’d can be criminals, scumbags or even prolific serial killers, for Order the Exuu’ds can be lawmen, samaritans or even average civilians. Regardless of origin the Exuu'd all fight each other for the very balance of the Cosmos. They are also gifted the powerful, sentient mechanized beings known as the Exxoms(Mechas) to assist in their endeavors. Exxoms all have unique designs, personalities and weapons & abilities.
Its second Sub-corner "Aon", a "Sword and Planet" inspired storyline, planet and accompanying solar system. The Aon system is locked outside of time & reality and for unknown reasons travelers from the Intergalactic, Interdimensional and even across time get pulled into the mysterious system by an unknown force. Since being secluded by conventional time both the inhabitants & technology have progressed in a way that there are varying levels of technology. There are crude medieval swords & armor as well as lasers, bolters, throwers and other advanced energy weapons. All inhabitants of Aon regardless of age and race are magically kept in their prime age & appearance. There is also a special & powerful magic known as "Laasa", that only women can harness and use. This has led to the majority of the system being ruled or fought over by factions of women led armies and warriors.
)Interdimensional: Lastly, the "Interdimensional", a catch-all term referring to the nigh-infinite Dimensions that make up the JoeVerse Prime. The Interdimensional is home to many genre blending stories of action, fantasy, science fiction and adventure all in the backdrop of numerous and radically different settings. This corner is populated by a myriad of exotic and powerful races such as the Angels of Heaven, the Demons of Hell, the reality warping Mymths, the cosmic beings known as the Balancers, the biologically altered insectoid empire known as the Urrglom, the humanoid Avian warriors known as the Harrpen, the technologically advanced bloodthirsty androids the Praeoids and much more.
It's first Sub-corner the "Collegium Historia", an “informational” adventure series about an interdimensional group of like minded Scholars, Zoologist, Historians, Explorers and Warriors that work towards the detailed exploration & documentation of the untold number of dimensions and the species & culture they may hold. With the group being led by the renowned, cantankerous explorer and swordsman Scuto Magnus.
Then it's second Sub-corner "The Fantastical Land of ORBIS"(Name pending), a standalone "High-fantasy" world full of adventure, danger, magic and awe. With ORBIS being an immense landmass the size of Earth. ORBIS is also full of creatures & beings such as Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and so much more. There are also a slew of fantasy iterations of medieval humans cultures e.g Daiyomondo Empire(Feudal Japan), Gyellhaer(Viking Age Scandanavia), Kingdom of Stanum(Chivalric Knight era Europe) and the Shou Chongtu Empire(Warring States period China).
JoeVerse Fun Facts:
Shared Universe definition: A Shared universe is a fictional universe in which multiple independently created works are set. One or more authors may contribute works to a shared universe. The works within the universe may share characters and other story elements, with or without continuity.(For more detail please check the official Shared Universe Wikipedia. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_universe)
The concept of the “Corners & Sub-corners" are inspired by and based on the genre, character & location organization of Marvel and DC Comics.
Non-Canonically, the characters Cole Xaiver, Aiden Steel and Joseph were the first JoeVerse characters ever created in that order. With each of these characters being made to embody an aspect of the aforementioned media entertainment, Cole (Western media & concepts), Aiden (Eastern (Anime) media & concepts), Joseph(a mixture of both).
The JoeVerse Multiverse is strongly inspired by and to some extent based on fictional works such as, the Marvel universe from Marvel Comics, the DC universe from DC Comics, the Image Universe from Image Comics, Star Wars from George Lucas, the Halo series from Bungie, the Dragon Age series from Bioware, the Borderlands series from Gearbox Software, the Godzilla series by Toho, the Resident Evil series by Capcom, the Gears of War series by (Cliff Bleszinski) Epic Games, the Skyrim & Fallout series by Bethesda, the Call of Duty series by Activision, the Metal Gear(Big Boss) series by Hideo Kojima, One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, the Spawn series by Seth McFarlane, Dragon Ball Z by Akira Toriyama, Overgeared by Park Saenal, Solo leveling by Chugong, Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara, Psycho Pass by Gen Ubrobochi, the Elex series by Piranha Bytes, A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin, Starship Troopers series by Paul Verhoeven, Avatar by Nickelodeon, Samurai Jack by Genndy Tartakovsky, Ben 10 by Man of action, Bakugan by TMS, Kingdom by Yasuhisa Hara, One Punch Man by One, the Nasuverse/Type-Moon universe by Type-Moon, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, RWBY by Rooster Teeth, the Tank girl series by Deadline, the Warhammer 40k universe by Games workshop, Street Fighter from Capcom, Mortal Kombat from Midway Games, the Transformers series by Hasbro, the Gundam series by Yoshiyuki Tomino, the Matrix by the Wachowskis, James Cameron's Avatar by James Cameron, Mad Max by George Miller, Fist of the North Star by Buronson, literally all Zombie Media in general and much much more.

2024.05.13 22:09 speednskillz 3.23 is good, Master Modes and the new flight models are not.

So this is what i think of master modes, i posted it as comment on another post and wanted to make it a post rq. And keep in my mind master modes as a concept is okay, however im am totally against limiting ship mobility in any mode, at least a mandatory mobility limit.
  1. Master modes locks combat into a tiny speed envelope, forcing face hug fights and reducing the skill ceiling by an insane margin. It is now a DPS race. "Its to fix jousting!!!!" no sweet child, good pilots dont joust, they glue themselves to their enemies blind spots, or try to. Watch avenger ones videos, hes rarely jousting. Jousting is a mid tier tactic. High level pilots wont joust unless they want to force one to recharge shields or get missiles off. So no, if you were jousting pre 3.23 thats a skill issue. Now there are no skill issues. Its who has better DPS. noice. guess thats good for low skill pilots. Huh guess that explains the vote a bit?
for example pre 3.22 i would always watch my closure speed on the bandit, if its more than 300 m/s ive fucked up. Now thats not an issue because you cant even go fast enough to get closures of 400+ m/s. No need to manage speed when there is no speed. sigh. On top of the speed nerf, all maneuvering thrusters have been nerfed, so actually flying evasive and weaving shots is impossible. That was 3.22s actual high skill meta. Literally dodging laser bolts in my flipping space ship. SO COOL :))) now what is it. BRRRRR my guns bigger my ships hull is heavier...
I was nearly unkillable in my old m50, as long as i didnt make a mistake -talkin PvP here-. Its not like i could kill much but they couldnt kill me, unless with a lucky missile hit. Now nope. M50 is just as weak as a noob would expect :(( sad day man.
  1. Master modes makes ganking far easier. QT jamming is insane right now and the fact that higher speed is locked to a spooled drive, (which makes ZERO sense, but well get to that) means that you cant even move and youll have no shields cuz you spammed into Nav mode. Get wrekt literally ANYONE who isnt the very best pilot, and even then you stand little chance as the ganker is likely in a squad. For those that play{ed} Elite dangerous, think FDL gank squads chain interdicting you. That is now in Star Citizen. Thank you master modes.
Why this sub supports this i have NO idea as you folks seem to hate gankers and "griefing" yet this is OBVIOUSLY going to make that problem SO much worse. Everyones talking about "youre not supposed to play solo" disregarding how much of a time sink this game is... and how getting people together consistently is not easy. And beyond that, thats also encouraging gankers to group up as well, how do you not realize that? And AND ontop of that they say work together, for what? the pultry rewards you get, and then have to split?? at least give us mission stacking amongst party, like Elite dangerous has, if youre gonna mutter about wing men and the like...
  1. MM makes flying less realistic than it was in 3.22. And dont go on about how 3.22 was realistic either. That's not relevant. What is relevant is that 3.23 is LESS realistic than 3.22. For one the shift to nav mode to combat can force a mach 5 to mach .08 deceleration in 1.5 seconds... guess what buddy, youre dead, your neck snapped... this game has g forces and g out modeled soooo why tf am i still awake after that? less immersive right there. and yes i know the elevators have insane acceleration as well and im willing to suspend my disbelief for that as it would be sucky to have long ass elevator rides where youre getting thrown around. IM not willing to suspend my disbelief for some asinine feature that violates the laws of physics on several points. or at the very least the laws of this game. Like how the hell am i even slowing down. Considering they nerfed retro thrusters and even before they couldnt get close to that kind of deceleration. Its literally the GAME just saying "OPE YOURE IN COMBAT MODE YOU GOTTA GO SLOW NOWWWWWW" that legitimately makes me angry. its an insult. And then it forces you to stay at that speed. hey, buddy? im slamming thrust, im in space, that means im accelerating. thats how physics works. It doesnt matter what freaking mode my ship is in. If im hitting thrust im going faster and faster. If im hitting no thrust then i continue at current speed. meaning the game is LITERALLY FIRING YOUR RETRO THRUSTERS TO PREVENT YOU FROM MOVING. guys this makes me unresoanbly angry. theyre using my ships thrusters to prevent me from going to the speed I fucking want. GET YOUR GRUBBY FUCKIN PAWS OFF MY FUCKIN CONTROLS. I DECIDE WHEN MY THRUSTERS FIRE. ITS MY FUCKING SPACE SHIP DAMMIT.
okay im sorry turned into a rant there. it just makes me super angry, and they do shit like this IRL too, they being car companies. Forcing my damn car to break and shit, with no way to disable it. Treating us like children, really irks me. This is a god damn game man, let me move freely.
  1. Where in sci fi does a ship need to disable its sub light maneuverability for any mode. Ill wait. Not Star trek ships. Not star wars ships. Not any popular sci fi i can think of that has a dumb ass mobility limiter. Why is that? cuz it literally makes no sense. You always need energy to slow down in space always. the only way i could think of them justifying the slow down is if they said something like the quantum drive distorts space around the ship and you cant go faster safely, or something. which is to say that in QT mode youd be slow Not in combat mode. lol.
All in all this update took alot away from combat to add a cheap Arcady gimmick. Combat pilots arent satisfied and arent having fun. Folks talking about relearn combat. Why would i relearn something thats less fun? answer, i shouldnt and i wont. This ggs for me and Star Citizen until this is cleaned up. It doesnt need to go back to 3.22, but it does need to change drastically, and in the direction of 3.22. Many combat pilots feel the same as me.

WHY DO THE CONTROL GROUPS OPPOSE AN ET PRESENCE?
J. Burkes MD 2018, edited 2023
One concept about the nature of the alleged UFO cover-up is that there exist quasi-governmental/quasi-corporate based clandestine cells sometimes described as “the control groups.” According to this proposition, these secret networks are keeping a lid on the UFO challenge by working behind the scenes to maintain what has been called “the UFO truth embargo.” This has involved a sophisticated psychological warfare program directed at the population in the form of a de facto policy of ridicule and denial.

Given that these control groups have also been working to reverse engineer UFO technology for over seven decades, it is conceivable that they have made significant advances. The extreme secrecy concerning such breakthroughs might have created what UFO historian Richard Dolan has called “a breakaway civilization.”

In 2017, a new openness on this subject has been allowed by elite power concerning this potentially destabilizing issue. This started with corporate media revelations about a secret Pentagon project studying UFOs. Since then, former, and current government officials have confirmed the reality of what are now called UAPs. Full disclosure of information about flying saucers is not what is happening. Instead, there has been an intensification of what non-human intelligence analyst Grant Cameron has called the US Executive Branch’s “gradual acclimatization program.” This involves allowing a mixture of some accurate information as well disinformation on this still highly classified subject to be released publicly. The gradual acclimatization program according to Grant Cameron’s analysis has for decades existed in parallel to the coverup.
Corporate, military, intelligence and political power brokers don’t operate as one on this issue. Different factions struggle over the speed at which the limited disclosure will unfold. In my opinion, as stated above, this issue, at the most basic level, still threatens all terrestrial elites, but not the Earth’s peoples.


Why do might the rich and powerful oppose an ET presence? The following are just a few of the reasons.

1.What we call flying saucers can apparently fly circles around “top gun” jet fighters, thereby showing the military to be impotent in securing terrestrial airspace.

  1. During ancient times the so-called aliens may have played a role in establishing all the major faiths. If the masses of believers on our planet started to accept this possibility, then it would threaten the power and influence of organized religion.

3.Alleged ET “free energy” generating/propulsion systems if downloaded into our technological culture under conditions of world peace would threaten the largest industries on our planet, the empires of oil and coal.

  1. In my opinion, the rich and powerful take great efforts to maintain a self-image that is an illusion of strength and invulnerability. An extraterrestrial presence could certainly challenge this self-image and the very concept of human sovereignty.

YOU CAN’T CONTROL AN ET THAT WANTS NOTHING

https://preview.redd.it/qyhzxp1fx80d1.jpg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2cc51c1b751b8070885c7984521a4930b7cabb8
But what makes the control groups most afraid I suspect is that if UFOs are controlled by ETs, the alleged aliens don't seem to want anything. They often simply appear in the sky for a few moments and then disappear. This behavior transmits the simple-minded message, “Hello, we are here."

ET beings, as far as we know, are not engaged in mining operations on Earth. They don't play the stock market to get rich. They usually flee when approached by military jets. Their interactions with humans occur under conditions of secrecy. The so-called aliens come to us often at night. Our interactions are predominately mental and typically when we are alone, thus little objective documentation can be acquired during the close encounters.

THREATS OF VIOLENCE, BRIBERY, AND BLACKMAIL DON’T WORK WITH THEM.

From the “control groups” point of view, I imagine that the alleged ETs appear to be immune to the usual bag of tricks that the super-rich use to keep the rest of us in line. Maybe the “ETs” scare the control groups because unlike politicians they can't be bribed or blackmailed. It is hard to shoot down UFOs and they don't seem too troubled by all the bad publicity they get from Hollywood alien invasion fantasies.

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT MIGHT BE ESSENTIAL FOR OPEN CONTACT WITH ADVANCED CULTURES.

The attached photo mime of a man walking with a small child in a forest suggests to me the following. Perhaps what we need on this planet is a simpler type of existence, one that allows us to be closer to nature. As in the image, walking in a beautiful forest might be far more fulfilling than the race to acquire wealth, power, and the mountains of things that our consumer culture tells us that we need. Thus, the man walking with a child in nature can’t be controlled because he wants nothing beyond a simple existence. I am suggesting here that the alleged ETs might want no things as well, placing them beyond the control of the ruling classes.

From my understanding of the spiritual teachings of Eckert Tolle, consciousness is no thing. It is an awareness that allows us to be awake and be aware that we are awake. It is infinite in its scope and universally experienced but can’t be defined by words. The ego however can be defined. According to Tolle it is a mind structure that is obsessed with form, both material things and thought forms. Identifying with form compels the ego to enhance itself by always wanting and sometimes getting more. For many of us this means more money, fame, sex, and for the ruling classes more control over others.

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT COMBINED WITH PROGRESSIVE POLITICS MIGHT BE THE KEY.

What happens when more of us reject this plane of existence that the Buddha reportedly called "the nightmare of the day”? What happens when millions of us say the message of oneness that is promoted by all the major faiths applies to what for many appear to be technologically and spiritually advanced ETs operating here on Earth?

Well, I imagine you get a change in the mass consciousness that could facilitate getting rid of the control groups and the oligarchs that they serve. "Peace on Earth and in the Cosmos!" can be the slogan to link the UFO presence to achieving planetary unity based on principles of peace and cooperation. In my opinion, this can only happen when we embrace universal consciousness. That is not only our potential link to every intelligent being in the universe via telepathy, but also to the fabric of reality itself.


I offer an additional interpretation of the mime
“You can’t control a person who wants nothing.”

If consciousness is “no thing”, then those of us that ultimately identify with universal consciousness, rather than with the ego, can’t be controlled either.

Additional Comment by the Author:

In response to this blog, one reader asked the following question, "I guess the concept that it may take centuries is the part that escapes me, will the earth put up with us that long?"

Joseph Burkes MD: We often get confused with what I imagine are the "needs" of our planet to those of the rather self-destructive humans that now has reached eight billion in number. In a vision I had in Carlsbad Cavern, I saw the Earth as being like a beautiful woman that was full of life and proud of her creations. Our mother, the Earth, has the capacity to regenerate life on her surface despite the onslaughts of many epochs of extinction. This has been true in the past and will continue for hundreds of millions of years.
We are not destroying the planet. In a sense this notion is yet another expression of our incredible hubris to proclaim that we can. She will do just fine in the long run. I believe this is true even if we destroy our civilization and the survivors are reduced to conditions of barbarism, eking out a miserable existence in the few highlands that will sustain some primitive agriculture, or by hunting and gathering.
I have posted a blog about champion remote viewer Joe McMoneagle's remarkable vision of Earth civilization in the year 3000. It is written up in an important book called, "The Ultimate Time Machine." It is a lovely picture of a planet with only one tenth of our current population. According to McMoneagle’s remote view, humanity will live in environmentally sound small cities of no more than at most 100,000, Housing will be in concentric circles with green zones in-between them. Transportation to the city centers will all be underground, and recycling and reuse will reduce the level of pollution and waste to a minimum.


Alas, this is only one possible future and as Joe has pointed out, the future is changing all the time. So, let's be determined to work towards what was seen in retired Sgt. McMoneagle's remote view. Let's link the message of peace, environmental protection and social justice to a phenomenon that is inspiring a growing number of contact activists to celebrate sisterhood and brotherhood extended out into the Cosmos.

Comments:
Norman Michael Marburg Jr "The powers that be must wonder what to do with people who have traded ego for universal consciousness and who are happy with enough. They have nothing to sell us beyond our most simple needs. There is little need for governments and religions when a society values truth over policy and learns to live simply, patiently and compassionately with all beings. PS, there is a reason why Tolle carries the Tao Te Ching with him wherever he is. C. G. Jung quoted it of the in his later works. After years of reading it, study and my own experience, I am convinced that its tenets comprise the IOS for all advanced sentient beings of the universe."
Another comment agreed that “the only way to overcome the elitist control group that enslaves humanity is with combined connected consciousness,” but he wanted to know how such a radical transformation might occur?
Joseph Burkes Thank you (name deleted) for asking this central question? I have been posting this blog periodically for several years and I believe you are the first to ask "how such a radical transformation might occur?" Successful evolutionary movements typically achieve results over long periods of time. The tyranny of repressive ideologies, such as forced onto the masses by the feudalistic Catholic Church in Europe, was worn down by a series of developments that spanned centuries. The Protestant reforms that reflected the growing strength of business classes in combination with the scientific revolution created a new kind of society. In that pluralistic environment the Church fathers could no longer dictate their "truth" to the masses. In the former Soviet Union, it took just 70 years for a police state regime to fall apart. Unfortunately the Putin regime has reestablished many of the controls that existed under communism.
Our civilization is probably facing an existential crisis in the form of global warming and resultant climate change. Young people all over the planet are realizing this and they are starting to march demanding action. The problems we face cannot be solved by nation states, so some kind of just world government will hopefully replace what UFO Researcher Stanton Friedman called "the tribal warfare" waged by "Earthlings." Although opposed vigorously, especially in so called "red states", meditation is starting to be taught in some public schools. The popularity of modern Buddhist teachers like Eckert Tolle reflects this shift away from organized religion to a spirituality based on a more direct connection with universal consciousness.
Clearly a more complete answer to your question goes beyond what can be conveyed in the "word bytes" on social media, but I hope my blogs will give hints as to where we will need to go to turn things around. I imagine the struggle will not be easy and will unfold over centuries after much blood, sweat and tears have been shed.

YOU CAN’T CONTROL AN ET THAT WANTS NOTHING

But what makes the control groups most afraid I suspect is that if UFOs are controlled by ETs, the alleged aliens don't seem to want anything. They often simply appear in the sky for a few moments and then disappear. This behavior transmits the simple-minded message, “Hello, we are here."

ET beings, as far as we know, are not engaged in mining operations on Earth. They don't play the stock market to get rich. They usually flee when approached by military jets. Their interactions with humans occur under conditions of secrecy. The so-called aliens come to us often at night. Our interactions are predominately mental and typically when we are alone, thus little objective documentation can be acquired during the close encounters.

THREATS OF VIOLENCE, BRIBERY, AND BLACKMAIL DON’T WORK WITH THEM.

From the “control groups” point of view, I imagine that the alleged ETs appear to be immune to the usual bag of tricks that the super-rich use to keep the rest of us in line. Maybe the “ETs” scare the control groups because unlike politicians they can't be bribed or blackmailed. It is hard to shoot down UFOs and they don't seem too troubled by all the bad publicity they get from Hollywood alien invasion fantasies.

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT MIGHT BE ESSENTIAL FOR OPEN CONTACT WITH ADVANCED CULTURES.

The attached photo mime of a man walking with a small child in a forest suggests to me the following. Perhaps what we need on this planet is a simpler type of existence, one that allows us to be closer to nature. As in the image, walking in a beautiful forest might be far more fulfilling than the race to acquire wealth, power, and the mountains of things that our consumer culture tells us that we need. Thus, the man walking with a child in nature can’t be controlled because he wants nothing beyond a simple existence. I am suggesting here that the alleged ETs might want no things as well, placing them beyond the control of the ruling classes.

From my understanding of the spiritual teachings of Eckert Tolle, consciousness is no thing. It is an awareness that allows us to be awake and be aware that we are awake. It is infinite in its scope and universally experienced but can’t be defined by words. The ego however can be defined. According to Tolle it is a mind structure that is obsessed with form, both material things and thought forms. Identifying with form compels the ego to enhance itself by always wanting and sometimes getting more. For many of us this means more money, fame, sex, and for the ruling classes more control over others.

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT COMBINED WITH PROGRESSIVE POLITICS MIGHT BE THE KEY.

What happens when more of us reject this plane of existence that the Buddha reportedly called "the nightmare of the day”? What happens when millions of us say the message of oneness that is promoted by all the major faiths applies to what for many appear to be technologically and spiritually advanced ETs operating here on Earth?

Well, I imagine you get a change in the mass consciousness that could facilitate getting rid of the control groups and the oligarchs that they serve. "Peace on Earth and in the Cosmos!" can be the slogan to link the UFO presence to achieving planetary unity based on principles of peace and cooperation. In my opinion, this can only happen when we embrace universal consciousness. That is not only our potential link to every intelligent being in the universe via telepathy, but also to the fabric of reality itself.


I offer an additional interpretation of the mime
“You can’t control a person who wants nothing.”

If consciousness is “no thing”, then those of us that ultimately identify with universal consciousness, rather than with the ego, can’t be controlled either.

Additional Comment by the Author:

In response to this blog, one reader asked the following question, "I guess the concept that it may take centuries is the part that escapes me, will the earth put up with us that long?"

Joseph Burkes MD: We often get confused with what I imagine are the "needs" of our planet to those of the rather self-destructive humans that now has reached eight billion in number. In a vision I had in Carlsbad Cavern, I saw the Earth as being like a beautiful woman that was full of life and proud of her creations. Our mother, the Earth, has the capacity to regenerate life on her surface despite the onslaughts of many epochs of extinction. This has been true in the past and will continue for hundreds of millions of years.
We are not destroying the planet. In a sense this notion is yet another expression of our incredible hubris to proclaim that we can. She will do just fine in the long run. I believe this is true even if we destroy our civilization and the survivors are reduced to conditions of barbarism, eking out a miserable existence in the few highlands that will sustain some primitive agriculture, or by hunting and gathering.
I have posted a blog about champion remote viewer Joe McMoneagle's remarkable vision of Earth civilization in the year 3000. It is written up in an important book called, "The Ultimate Time Machine." It is a lovely picture of a planet with only one tenth of our current population. According to McMoneagle’s remote view, humanity will live in environmentally sound small cities of no more than at most 100,000, Housing will be in concentric circles with green zones in-between them. Transportation to the city centers will all be underground, and recycling and reuse will reduce the level of pollution and waste to a minimum.


Alas, this is only one possible future and as Joe has pointed out, the future is changing all the time. So, let's be determined to work towards what was seen in retired Sgt. McMoneagle's remote view. Let's link the message of peace, environmental protection and social justice to a phenomenon that is inspiring a growing number of contact activists to celebrate sisterhood and brotherhood extended out into the Cosmos.

Joseph Burkes Thank you (name deleted) for asking this central question? I have been posting this blog periodically for several years and I believe you are the first to ask "how such a radical transformation might occur?" Successful evolutionary movements typically achieve results over long periods of time. The tyranny of repressive ideologies, such as forced onto the masses by the feudalistic Catholic Church in Europe, was worn down by a series of developments that spanned centuries. The Protestant reforms that reflected the growing strength of business classes in combination with the scientific revolution created a new kind of society. In that pluralistic environment the Church fathers could no longer dictate their "truth" to the masses. In the former Soviet Union, it took just 70 years for a police state regime to fall apart. Unfortunately the Putin regime has reestablished many of the controls that existed under communism.
Our civilization is probably facing an existential crisis in the form of global warming and resultant climate change. Young people all over the planet are realizing this and they are starting to march demanding action. The problems we face cannot be solved by nation states, so some kind of just world government will hopefully replace what UFO Researcher Stanton Friedman called "the tribal warfare" waged by "Earthlings." Although opposed vigorously, especially in so called "red states", meditation is starting to be taught in some public schools. The popularity of modern Buddhist teachers like Eckert Tolle reflects this shift away from organized religion to a spirituality based on a more direct connection with universal consciousness.
Clearly a more complete answer to your question goes beyond what can be conveyed in the "word bytes" on social media, but I hope my blogs will give hints as to where we will need to go to turn things around. I imagine the struggle will not be easy and will unfold over centuries after much blood, sweat and tears have been shed.

WHY DO THE CONTROL GROUPS OPPOSE AN ET PRESENCE?
J. Burkes MD 2018, edited 2023

On social media pages I have posted articles discussing my assessment that an ET presence would threaten the rich and powerful, but not the Earth’s peoples. If this analysis is correct, then how might our rulers protect themselves?

One concept about the nature of the alleged UFO cover-up is that there exist quasi-governmental/quasi-corporate based clandestine cells sometimes described as “the control groups.” According to this proposition, these secret networks are keeping a lid on the UFO challenge by working behind the scenes to maintain what has been called “the UFO truth embargo.” This has involved a sophisticated psychological warfare program directed at the population in the form of a de facto policy of ridicule and denial.

Given that these control groups have also been working to reverse engineer UFO technology for over seven decades, it is conceivable that they have made significant advances. The extreme secrecy concerning such breakthroughs might have created what UFO historian Richard Dolan has called “a breakaway civilization.”

In 2017, a new openness on this subject has been allowed by elite power concerning this potentially destabilizing issue. This started with corporate media revelations about a secret Pentagon project studying UFOs. Since then, former, and current government officials have confirmed the reality of what are now called UAPs. Full disclosure of information about flying saucers is not what is happening. Instead, there has been an intensification of what non-human intelligence analyst Grant Cameron has called the US Executive Branch’s “gradual acclimatization program.” This involves allowing a mixture of some accurate information as well disinformation on this still highly classified subject to be released publicly. The gradual acclimatization program according to Grant Cameron’s analysis has for decades existed in parallel to the coverup.
Corporate, military, intelligence and political power brokers don’t operate as one on this issue. Different factions struggle over the speed at which the limited disclosure will unfold. In my opinion, as stated above, this issue, at the most basic level, still threatens all terrestrial elites, but not the Earth’s peoples.


Why do might the rich and powerful oppose an ET presence? The following are just a few of the reasons.

1.What we call flying saucers can apparently fly circles around “top gun” jet fighters, thereby showing the military to be impotent in securing terrestrial airspace.

  1. During ancient times the so-called aliens may have played a role in establishing all the major faiths. If the masses of believers on our planet started to accept this possibility, then it would threaten the power and influence of organized religion.

3.Alleged ET “free energy” generating/propulsion systems if downloaded into our technological culture under conditions of world peace would threaten the largest industries on our planet, the empires of oil and coal.

  1. In my opinion, the rich and powerful take great efforts to maintain a self-image that is an illusion of strength and invulnerability. An extraterrestrial presence could certainly challenge this self-image and the very concept of human sovereignty.

2024.05.13 21:07 tuttifucky The prosecutors office's evidence pejury (the doc cover change) was found... Prosecutor office's in mental breakdown! The reversal of Lee Jae-myung's investigation, which made the reporter sigh, "Ah..." The prosecutors office's in civil war situation... Some prosecutors take revenge on Yoon Suk Yeol

Hello, politics is easy. Politics level 10!
Today, the opposition Democratic Party revealed a shocking fact that the prosecutor office manipulated the evidence and led to perjury by prosecutors through the so-called document cover change in the last presidential election fraud trial.
At a press conference of the Democratic Party of Korea's Special Task Force on the Manipulation of Political Prosecution Cases, headed by Representative Min Young-bae said as follows.
In March, it was confirmed that the prosecutors changed the cover of Seongnam City's official public trip to Australia and New Zealand during the trial of mayor, Lee Jae-myung's "I Don't Know him." First of all, please like this, and if it was helpful, please click on the subscription button.
Now, since this was the document that Mayor Lee Jae-myung approved for at the time, the business trip schedule has changed, and the participant will be changed internally from Team leader Lee to Kim Moon-ki. However, the changed document will just exist without going through the internal approval line.
Therefore, it is true that then-Mayor Lee Jae-myung has never seen or approved for documents which had a participant changed to Kim Moon-ki. however, the prosecutor office argues that it is false to say that then Seongnam Mayor Lee Jae-myung did not know Kim Moon-ki because he approved for the official trip document with has Kim Moon-ki as one of participants.
However, when we checked informant's prosecutor office's internal reports, they created a new document that was manipulated the cover of the approved document and the inner paper of the non-approved document. With this, the prosecutor presented it in court during Choi's interrogation process, which was in the approval line at the time.
Here, Sector head, Choi sees the document and testifies that Seongnam Mayor Lee Jae-myung aproved the document which has Kim Moon-ki as a trip participant. So, the prosecutors made Lee Jae-myung look to have a lie that he did not know Kim Moon-ki even though he had approved Kim Moon-ki's official trip during court session. During the back briefing at the press conference today, about this shocking prosecutor's evidence manipulation and perjury, there are questions arising among news reporters . They also said, "Oh," and lamented that they had been deceived by prosecutors during the all these period.
Even with the fact that Lee Jae-myoung said he didn't know this section chief, Kim Moon-ki but that he couldn't help but know him during their official trip together, is the falsified evidence and was fabricated by prosecutors. In fact, the mayor of that time, Lee Jae-myung, had no choice but to know if the evidence is true, but the prosecutors manipulated the circumstances and manipulated it. By manipulating the official document, a new document was created with cover of document A and with attachment of the inner contents of document B, of which Lee Jae-myung approved. Then the new document presented as a completely new proof, not document A nor document B. When the prosecutor presents the document and asks the witness, the witness thinks that the document is objective and correct because of the public confidence in the prosecutor, and he just answered positively, saying that the prosecutor's evidence would fit the question, but his positive answer eventually became very unfavorable to defendant, Lee Jae-myung
The prosecution mixes the official document that Mayor Lee approved with the official document that did not get any approval. It was created by forging a new document by weaving the inner papers of the document dated December 24, 2014 on the document cover dated December 2, 2014.
The prosecutor presented this document during Choi's interrogation. Moreover, he does not show the official document directly, but only presents the blurry TV screen capture of the documents. Choi was deceived by the prosecutor's evil intention, and he made statements as the prosecutor wanted. Thus, the prosecutor secures a perjured statement that the mayor of Seongnam at the time approved the trip document in which Kim was included as an attendee. No other regime, including military dictatorship, has fallen evil like this before.
In this way, the prosecutor office demonized Lee Jae-myung by making him a liar in court room and all through News media by the perjury of changing the cover of document document presented at the court room. If the prosecutor office is this evil , how about the rest of the Lee Jae-myung cases investigation? The Democratic Party has so many such cases of which they have sorted them to be organized by the type of the perjury method.
First, the prosecution falsified statements in the investigation. A case in that perspective, was the illegal intimidation of then deputy governor, Lee Hwa-young.
In this regard, important facts have recently been revealed. A week ago, the Democratic Party of Korea asked for an interview with jailed Lee Hwa-young but was rejected. The prosecutor office gave the reason that he could not be interviewed because there was a separate investigation on him, but the separate investigation was never done. It's been a week, but I can't tell you what it is. I have been blocked my mouth by the prosecutor office.
And the detention center, where Lee Hwa-young is jailed at the time, announced that they had lost the record of Lee Hwa-young's prosecutor office appearance, but reversed the previous announcement today, saying that it had never been lost. After this process, the record of Lee Hwa-young's prosecutor office appearance was released today.
During the time of prosecutor perjury processes, as we suspected, the attendance records were concentrated, and the duration time was also significantly longer, ranging from 8 to 10 hours. In addition, the number of appearances and records prepared markedly, there was a discrepancy. So, it is common for an inmate's appearance to be written in a record whenever he goes to the prosecutor office, but he went to the prosecutor office a lot, but his appearances do not have any record.
Then what did they do instead of writing a record? Did they drink together at their office? Did they appease him? Also, the prosecutor office is suspected of coaxing Lee Hwa-young through a prosecutor-turned-lawyer, but there was no record of Lee Hwa-young appearing at the prosecutor office whenever those lawyers met him. In other words, the prosecutor office coordinated the lawyer to coax him. These circumstances support the prosecution's perjuring of statements related to Lee Jae-myoung trial cases..
Second, the prosecutor office perjured the evidence. Representatively, the phone conversation transcript was perjured as a senior citizen in Wirae New Town related conversation. Third is investigation falsification, fourth is evidence record perjury, and fifth is the fact perjury.
We announce the perjury by type. Representative Min Young-bae explained this as follows.
"We never told you that we would conduct an independent counsel investigation on the case of Cho Kuk fucker, but some Nazi propaganda media distorted the fact, as if the independent counsel will look into such a case again, but it is not at all. What we are trying to see is that in this series of cases or in the course of prosecutorial investigations, the prosecution will cover up and perjure the truth on Mayor Lee Jae-myung cases, and thus we are proposing an independent counsel targeting prosecutor office's perjury activities."
So, some Nazi propaganda media outlets are saying that the Democratic Party will also look into Cho Kuk case , and the Democratic Party won the election by a landslide gap and do all these with the armbands. We are saying that we will not do an independent counsel on a case-by-case basis, but that we collect cases of projector office perjury cases all togatehr and make them all in an independent counsel case. The so-called special prosecutor office perjury case will be pursued at once. Before that, we will attach the cases of perjury corresponding to the five types of perjury mentioned above
Now, let me summarize all.
Today, the press conference held by Democratic puts the prosecutor office in a panic by breaking out document evidence perjury done by projector office. Currently, prosecutor office's internal informants are souring to the Democratic Party.
The reason is that the Yoon Suk Yeol is soiling the some remnant pride of the prosecutor office, some prosecutors are trying to survive on their owndespite all these. Today, the Yoon Suk Yeol replaced Song Kyung-ho, the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, who pushed for the investigation of Kim Gun-hee, former call girl spouse of the president and the first to fourth deputy prosecutors under him, and also replaced a large number of staff members of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office of Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok.
On the surface, it seems that those prosecutors are promoted to the posts of senior prosecutor, but its interpretation is that they are demoted and that kind of interpretation is prevailing. One of senior prosecutors under him were also sent to one post like at the Legal Research and Training Institute.
In addition, the Yoon Suk Yeol today fired several subordinates of Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok, Han's best friend. With Lee's tenure only four months away, the firing of senior prosecutor general's staff, senior prosecutors' staff, is the reason why this HR changes are quite unusual. The prosecutor general would naturally be replaced if the prosecutor general's term expires, but with only four months left in his term, Yoon changed HR under him in advance. Yoon wants to fire Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok right away, but he couldn't, but sent him and his clan a message of do nothing and leave the office quietly.
Even so, their feud is a lot different from what we think. So, instead of confiscating or investigating Kim Gun-hee, let's just do a summons show and protect the remnant pride of the prosecutor office and that's Han Dong-hoon line's idea, but the Yoon Suk Yeol turned the tables, saying that even that's never possible.
In the end, Han Dong-hoon line, those who wanted to pretend to be fair but ignorant and unfair Yoon Sung-yeol turned table upside and they would not just step down without chirping. Therefore, the prosecutor's civil war situation has begun, and in that civil war situation, the inform of harming President Yoon Suk Yeol are pouring into the Democratic Party.
I'Today's Yoon Suk Yeol seems to have taken over the prosecutor office with the new prosecutor appointments, but there are rebelling prosecutors who wants to fight back by informing to the Democratic through Han Dong-hoon. Yoon Suk Yeol will collapse simultaneously inside out .

2024.05.13 20:14 Extension_Hippo_7304 I don't want sexual desires or sexual thoughts

I don't want sexual desires or thoughts, as they are a hindrance and an encumbrance rather than a help. After being blackpilled, I've come to realize, as much as I tried to hide it before, the truth is I hate women and they hate me. The feeling is natural as it is innate. It's an inherent aspect of my being. Ultimately, I consciously hate women. I try my damnedest in real life to avoid women. Whenever I'm on Instagram, I always block any feed with a woman, unless it's something like plastic surgery. I even make sure to steer far away from normie sites. Reddit is normie as fuck, but it's a good therapy place.
My overarching point is that I don't want sexual desires or thoughts. I'm ultimately a narcissist. I care about myself and my looks first. Ultimately, I don't want kids. The whole thing is expensive and ultimately a scam in my opinion.
The issue is my biology. As much as the tossers, the cunts in society act like you can control your sexual desires, they are lying through their fucking teeth.
Down below is what creates a human to be attracted to another human. It's not subjective love, not an ethereal phenomenon. It's a species specification that we share that attracts each other to us to create spawn and offspring.
Pheromone receptor genes: The vomeronasal organ (VNO) expresses receptor genes like V1rs and V2rs that encode vomeronasal receptors (VRs). These VRs bind species-specific pheromones and initiate signaling cascades. For example, the V1rb2 receptor in mice is crucial for male-female recognition.
Olfactory receptor genes: Olfactory receptor (OR) genes like ORs and TAARs encode receptors in the main olfactory epithelium that detect volatile pheromone components. Genetic variation in ORs influences individual differences in odorant perception linked to mate choice.
Neural patterning genes: Homeobox genes (e.g., Lhx6, Emx2) and transcription factors (e.g., Fezf2, Ctip2) regulate the differentiation and connectivity of sexually dimorphic neural circuits involved in processing social/sexual cues.
Now let's look at how these genes influence the underlying neural pathways:
Visual pathway: Retinal photoreceptors transmit signals via the optic nerve to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. Neurons in the LGN project to the primary visual cortex (V1) where lower-level features are processed.
Ventral stream: V1 projects to extrastriate cortices like V4 for coloform processing and then to the inferotemporal cortex (IT) including the fusiform face area (FFA) specialized for face perception.
Dorsal stream: V1 also projects to the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) crucial for spatial attention and integration of form/motion cues related to biological motion perception.
These ventral/dorsal streams converge in regions like the amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) that assign emotional/motivational salience to socio-sexual cues.
Olfactory/Pheromone pathway: Odorants/pheromones are detected by ORs/VRs which transduce signals to the main/accessory olfactory bulbs. The main olfactory bulb sends projections to the piriform cortex, entorhinal cortex, amygdala, and OFC for conscious odor perception and emotional processing. The accessory olfactory bulb sends VNO projections to the medial amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) which interfaces with the hypothalamus to modulate neuroendocrine responses and motivation.
Integration of Visual/Olfactory inputs: The amygdala, OFC, ACC act as convergence hubs integrating multimodal sensory inputs from vision, olfaction, audition related to conspecific cues. Their outputs to the ventral striatum, particularly the nucleus accumbens, modulate dopaminergic reward/motivation circuits, gating approach/avoidance behaviors.
Hormonal Modulation: Steroid hormones like testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone organize and activate these neural circuits in a sex-specific manner. Testosterone has organizational effects by influencing sexual differentiation of the hypothalamus and amygdala during development. In adulthood, testosterone and its metabolites act as activational signals - binding to androgen receptors (ARs) in the amygdala, BNST, hypothalamus to facilitate male sexual behavior and modulate sensory processing of female cues.
Unfortunately, as of now, there is no technology that can kill off sexual desire. Now let me answer an age-old question asked, "If you could get rid of sexual desire, where would that lead you?"
Simple, no more frustration by women, they wouldn't even register on your mind. I mean, just like how a female lioness doesn't register in my mind, similarly, a female human wouldn't register in mine. In truth, there is no universal beauty. Beauty is always species-specific, and a giga chad in one species isn't a giga chad in another. With no attraction to women, you're no longer being driven by the chains that genes hurl over you. You can actually focus on life without having to deal with all the bullshit nature hurls upon us.

2024.05.13 20:08 DirtyWaterDaddyMack Talking Shop - Sludge Volume Index

Talking Shop - Sludge Volume Index
If you recognize this format, yes it’s me – let’s keep the personal identifiers to a minimum please.
TODAY’S TOPIC: ~SVI~
Sit back and relax with your favorite sample jug and let’s chat about SVI. The last couple messages have been in relation to settling where we discussed Stokes’ Law, bulking vs. rising sludge, and clarifier parameters. We usually don’t sit around punching numbers on our abacuses (that’s not a thing anyway) to figure out our DT or SLR every hour of the day. On our rounds, we’re hopefully not seeing the extremes of bulking sludge or rising sludge either. What I’m trying to get at is more along the lines of how we fine tune our well-running process when things slightly change… Enter in the Sludge Volume Index (SVI). The secret in remembering what SVI really represents is in the word INDEX. Just as a person’s BMI is an index, our index will measure our settleability in relation to our MLSS concentration.
Refresh on the settleometer:
  • First 5 minutes are most important
  • Usually 30 minute test (SSV30)
  • Always scaled to 1,000 (regardless of its size)
  • Used in conjunction with MLSS to determine SVI
“Plant A” may run a settleometer test and have a Settled Sludge Volume (SSV30) of 200. “Plant B” may run the same test with a result of 300. Which one performs better? To really compare, you’ll want to look at HOW it settled during the first 5 minutes. The floc density, speed of settling, clarity of supernatant, etc. are important to catch at the beginning to get a sense of what you’re working with. After 30 minutes, your settleometer may look completely normal even though you had a different observation in the first 5 minutes. After 30 minutes, leaving it sit longer will allow a bit more compaction and tell us more about denitrification, but most of the action has already happened. Here’s a graphic showing a typical speed of settling:
https://preview.redd.it/g8irvggnf80d1.png?width=624&format=png&auto=webp&s=9ff9fc583e9856298cd10ab31091e80841d03831
Back to “Plant A” and “Plant B” – let’s say they both fall into the “just right” settling observation, just with different final SSV30 values (200 vs. 300). To help make a judgement, you’ll need to factor in MLSS to calculate the SVI. If “Plant A” has an MLSS of 2,000 ppm and “Plant B” has 3,000 ppm, it turns out they both have the same SVI and are probably running pretty well.
The formula for SVI is:
SVI = (SSV30) * 1,000 ÷ MLSS
Take a look at this Sludge Volume Index sheet for some explanations on how SVI works.
“Plant A” SVI = 200 * 1,000 ÷ 2,000 = 100
“Plant B” SVI = 300 * 1,000 ÷ 3,000 = 100
The perfect world SVI = 100. There are various sources that say 50-150, 80-120, 100-300, etc, but to understand how perfect 100 fits comes from understanding density (see the linked spreadsheet above). Let’s stick with “Plant A” running an MLSS of 2,000 ppm. If their SSV30 triples to 600, settleability is way worse with a deeeep blanket. If we use the formula again, we now calculate SVI at 300. For every gram of solids, there is more space (volume) being occupied – more milliliters. It’s possible our specific gravity changed, but it would have to be cut to 1/3rd of what it usually is. Maybe we just have larger bugs, less compaction, waaay too many bugs, or some combination. This could be from young age, old age, the wrong kind of bugs, or maybe a hydraulic issue. We’re in the business of conserving space, so a minimal SVI is best for allowing more sludge to settle as it flows into the clarifier. However, if SVI is minimal, it might mean the sludge is grainy and able to compact easier which may indicate old sludge, aged like a fine wine. Possibly fermenting like a fine wine, too. Maybe to the point that we see rising sludge. Maximum SVI would indicate space is becoming occupied, thus reducing clarifier capacity and possibly resulting in bulking sludge.
At a quick glance, the BMI analogy works here where a high number is undesirable. Less popular, but we also don’t want a number too low either. We want a middle-of-the-road “happy zone”.
We can loosely associate SVI with age (high = young), but as usual, there are other factors to consider. Aeration rates (filamentous anyone?), sheer volume of sludge, or the ever-confusing impact of RAS rates (mass balance) will impact SVI in the clarifier, settleometer, or both. Here’s a graphic that shows how an SVI increase could mean young sludge OR excess (old).
Tracking the SVI and comparing it to blanket depth, RAS rates, MCRT, etc will help us fine tune the plant as things change. It may lead to a decision to change AIR, RAS, or WAS (one at a time, please). It’ll also help us with future troubleshooting when we need to answer the question of “Is this a system problem, or a clarifier problem?”
Go put that sample jug to use!
PRACTICE QUESTIONS:
Previous answers:
A. Filamentous settles poorly, so decrease SLR to allow more opportunity to settle.
C. Denitrification causes rising sludge.
C. Organic settleable solids have a lot of bound water in their mass, so they’re more buoyant with a specific gravity being closer to 1.0.
  • What is the sludge volume index?
    • A measure of the gravity settling in the secondary clarifier
    • A measure of the settleability characteristics of the sludge
    • A measure of the health of the activated sludge process
    • A measure of the accumulated sludge deposits
  • A potential cause of the presence of clear supernatant above poor settling sludge in a secondary clarifier is __________.
    • Low F:M ratio
    • Excessive D.O. concentration
    • High nutrient levels
    • High F:M ratio
  • A sample of a mixed liquor in an activated sludge system is placed in a 1.5-liter cylinder. After 30 minutes, the volume of the settled solids was 375 milliliters. The MLSS for the aeration tank was 3,500 milligrams per liter. Calculate the SVI.

2024.05.13 19:47 CathanRegal Looking for Some Help with My Situation (I can't follow the road map as written)

Sorry in advance for the blocks of text...I'm not great at paring my thoughts down.
Relatively new to the DS platform, but really enjoying it. Started DS after finishing DuoLingo A1 in April, so I can't really say my progress will be similar to others. I decided to transition from Duolingo specifically because it was making me angry and becoming demotivating. I don't like getting told I'm wrong because my meaning was correct, but I didn't perform a word-for-word translation. We all know language doesn't work that way.
Further, I HAVE to use some level of Spanish periodically for work, so I just know things even if I don't always know how to say them correctly. Specifically, I can direct someone through certain computer or web-based activities, ask simple questions, and talk to small children in a way they understand. It just is what it is. I also have had to read kids picture books in Spanish for years for work. Like I said...it just is what it is. Most of my exposure in working with Spanish speakers for work is LATAM Spanish, specifically South American.
The result is that I have decent comprehension in some areas, and can easily watch Intermediate videos on a lot of topics, but every now and then I stumble into a video, and am suddenly totally lost. It's a very frustrating experience at times. I can currently watch beginner videos in general without mentally translating at all. I treat Superbeginner videos as something to only use for exercise, or when partially distracted, because it just gets really, really boring.
By Guide:
Shelcin was the first video I saw, and I was like "Oh wow, it's a meme video, but in easy Spanish. Nice." So I watch quite a bit of her content.
Andrea is fun for me, because I just think she makes very engaging facial expressions. That's like the dumbest reason to like a teacher, but you're welcome.
Agustina might be my favorite so far, just because she's easy for me to understand and I'm really interested in travel content.
By Guide:
Pablo is harder for me to understand.
Michelle is very hit or miss for me, sometimes I can't understand her at all...what's the difference between her accent and Andrea's that makes them so different in terms of comprehensibility for me...
Andres is enjoyable as well, but I would really struggle to understand him if he was speaking faster.
TL;DR: My predicament: I don't really know what to do about the sections of videos I just have no understanding of. I literally go from "I understand all of this" to "I caught like 3 of those words, and don't understand what's happening anymore" really quickly sometimes. I know the answer is probably just more input, but should I stick to the stuff I find really enjoyable in the intermediate area, or should I try to watch some beginner content in the areas I don't enjoy as much but may include more vocabulary I don't know yet?
Question 2: Should I try to read less? I can't avoid reading kids books entirely. It's part of my job. But I do also read some for pleasure during work hours because it's covered under "work I do". Should I try to limit my reading down to what is absolutely necessary?

2024.05.13 17:38 SuperXDoudou Doing the Math : Tempering and Probabilities

Hey,
Below you'll find probabilities of looking for specific affixes using the Tempering system. The probabilities are computed before any Tempering.
The idea is to answer this question : "I just dropped this Legendary item, what are the odds that I can get the two affixes I want ?". This can help you assessing the cost (mats) and risk (do I need a back up item before my attempts?) associated with your build idea.
I based my reasoning on how the Tempering system worked in the PTR according to this maxroll.gg guide written by Slothmaster. This article was my inspiration for this work as I wanted to verify their own calculations (spoiler : my results are very similar to the examples they gave, that does not change the conclusion about the best strategy).
TLDR: I would like to cite Maxroll's recommandation :
It is advisable for players to pick at least 1 recipe that has a very low number of affixes, or multiple acceptable affixes
I would complete by saying that by lowering your expectations, you indeed increase dramatically the odds of getting the item you want. I like this system because it makes very easy (likely and cheap) to get a functionnal build (with acceptable affixes) but very hard (unlikely and costly) to get a perfect build.
Be aware : since some devs stated in recent interviews that not all changes are documented in the Patch Note, it means the Live tempering system could be different from the PTR's one, hence the calculations could be wrong.
Vocabulary :
By "size" of a Temper Manual, i mean the number of different affixes obtainable when using it. It is between 2 and 5. The bigger the size is, the less likely it is to obtain a specific affix.
By "desirable" affix, I mean one of the affixes you want from the Manual. It mostly depends on your expectations. Having lower expectations, you can be "ok" with any of 2 affixes ouf of 4, even if one of them is not "best in slot".
Case 1 : High Expectations : Each Manual has one desirable affix
Desirable affixes 1 / 2 1/ 3 1/4 1/5
1/2 93.75% 84.00% 74.08% 65.57%
1/3 84,00% 73.66% 64.16% 56,35%
1/4 74.08% 64.16% 55.51% 48.54%
1/5 65.57% 56.35% 48.54% 42.33%
How to read : If I a Manual has one desirable affix out of 4, and the other one has one desirable affix out of 5, the probability of getting the desired affixes out of 5 rerolls is 48.54% (approx 1/2)
Case 2 : Medium Expectations : One Manual (columns) has 2 desirable affixes, the other Manual (lines) has 1 desirable affix
Desirable affixes 2/2 2/3 2/4 2/5
1/2 98.44% 97.01% 93.75% 89.13%
1/3 91.22% 88.34% 84.00% 78.88%
1/4 82.20% 78.67% 74.08% 69.07%
1/5 73.79% 70.06% 65.57% 60.86%
How to read : If a Manual has one desirable affix out of 4, and the other Manual has 2 desirable affixes out of 5, the probability of getting two desirable affixes after 5 rerolls is 69,07% (approx 2/3).
Case 3 : Low expectations : Each Manual has 2 desirable affixes
Desirable affixes 2/2 2/3 2/4 2/5
2/2 100.00% 99.86% 98.44% 95.33%
2/3 99.86% 99.31% 97.01% 93.07%
2/4 98.44% 97.01% 93.75% 89.13%
2/5 95.33% 93.07% 89.13% 84.14%
How to read : If a Manual has two desirable affixes out of 4, and the other Manual has 2 desirable affixes out of 5, the probability of getting two desirable affixes after 5 rerolls is 89.13% (approx 9/10)
Case 4 : Very low expectations : One Manual (columns) has 3 desirable affixes, the other Manual (lines) has 2 desirable affixes
Desirable affixes 3/3 3/4 3/5
2/2 100,00% 99,98% 99,59%
2/3 99,86% 99,64% 98,77%
2/4 98,44% 97,67% 96,13%
2/5 95,33% 94,01% 91,93%
I do not copy the other cases because of the rapidely diminishing returns of lowering your expectations : going from 2 desirable affixes to 3 desirable affixes only increases the probability to get what you want by a few points.
Further details for nerds :
Here are some assumptions I made concerning the design of the Tempering system :
Picking an affix is a Bernouilli trial (with a success being "picking one of the desired affixes"). For each Temper line, we are looking to the probability of obtaining a success after n repetitions. Thus if X is the random variable computing the number of trials needed to get one success, X follows a geometrical distribution. The difficulty here come from the fact that we do have 2 independant random variables, one for each Tempering line, but the sum of the number of trials of both variables has to be equal or inferior to 7 (because you have 1 initial pick for each Tempering line, plus up to 5 rerolls total for the item).
Let be p the probability of picking a desired affix during one trial, k the number of desirable affixes in a Manual of size n, then
p = k/n
Let X (resp. Y) be the random variable modelizing the frequence of trials needed to get one success with the first (resp. second) Manual. Then the probability to get desirables affixes after 5 rerolls is, for a,b positive integers different of 0 such that a+b=7 : P(X<=a AND Y<=b) = P(X=1)*P(Y<=6) + P(X=2)*P(Y<=5) + ... + P(X=6)*P(Y=1)
English is not my native language, please pardon the mistakes and let me know below if you spot one

2024.05.13 17:23 Tempitthrowoutit 25+ yrs married no kids, went LC with MIL 4 yrs ago

Decades long escalation of MIL’s comments - first seemingly ignorant/insensitive comments, over time turned up a notch to micro aggressive comments, culminating in U.S. southern genteel phrased (thus built-in plausible deniability) bigotry and ultimately an outright insult directed at my upbringing and parents led to my going LC.
(Context: my family of mostly atheists with humanist and social justice values, and containing multiracial and LGBTQ+ members is just about the exact opposite of her family and values.)
DH (and I) initially had the ‘she didn’t mean it that way’ or ‘just the way she is’ attitude but as these comments continued, escalated, and typically only when she and I were alone, I began to get a clue. But as MIL almost always made sure never to say these things in DH presence he really had no idea how bad it actually was. 2020 via Zoom contact with MIL, DH and myself showed MIL at her worst, and DH finally witnessed some more of these and he thus supported my LC but still maintains she ‘doesn’t REALLY mean it that way’ but he is sad, stressed and under pressure from MIL about the rift.
And I certainly never expected him to go LC, I support and encourage him in their relationship. MIL did a good job with raising him, and that was especially hard after his father passed away while he was young. I have a lot of respect for her and her relationship with her children and don’t want to interfere with that. Therefore for the past four years I spend holidays with my family members, and he spends most of the holidays with his family. Families live distant from the other so DH and I no longer spend most holidays together. Yes, this sucks for us.
I am open to us trying to set clear communication and discussion topic boundaries to try to ease the situation. So input on these proposed boundaries to set expectations would be welcome.
  1. I will not interact one-on-one with her. (E.g. take her to a dr. appointment, chat on the phone, or have lunch with her).
  2. There is a MIL family rule ‘we do not discuss anything polarizing or divisive’ but that rule is only invoked by MIL - and then only after she had made a religious or political statement or argument that one of her children or grandchildren objects to. Once one of them responds she shuts it down with that rule. She will also shut down one of her children or grandchildren if they bring up something she disagrees with (usually political). It is never invoked on her. I want to make it clear I WILL be invoking it at all times to any MIL’s problematic comments with a clear ‘that is not a topic I will discuss with you’ statement. (In the past, I generally walked away or if we were one on one I would change the topic randomly when she did this - thus I think this change needs to be brought up explicitly to properly set expectations.)
  3. Any and all discussion of my family is out of bounds. That includes the ‘simple polite inquiries’ about how my family is doing (as any answer is not simple and likely would include polarizing or divisive topics and I simply refuse to disrespect my family by lying or downplaying their reality) as well as MY discussing or bringing up anything about my family (even innocent childhood memories etc.) Kind of a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ situation. No exceptions, hard and firm boundary with no end date. I want a clearly understood boundary of: talk about my family and I will leave.
So am I missing anything obvious? Am I foolish to even try? My anxiety level and mental health has been so much better since we have been LC but my DH has certainly paid a price and certainly we both miss being able to celebrate holidays together.
Really, this would mean when I’d go to MIL family holiday gatherings I would politely smile and not talk much - keeping a distant but polite presence-if MIL keeps her polite socially acceptable face on. (I’d put the odds at 50/50). BUT If MIL pokes the bear or tries emotional manipulation (her strong suit) I’m probably going to blow, and it won’t be pretty, and everyone will lose.

2024.05.13 16:42 AK_Speaking Stutterer To Public Speaking Coach. Ask Me Anything

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all having a good day!
My stutter has plagued every aspect of my life, in every way it possibly could. Growing up in school, I had countless experiences which led me to feel embarrassed, ashamed of myself, and even made me end up on my bed at the end of the day, crying my eyes out. The bullying, relentless shaming, belittling, just because I took an extra few seconds to say what I wanted, was detrimental to my mental health.
As a result of all this, I strayed away from the vast majority of speaking opportunities. I barely started conversations, rarely took part in class discussions, never took part in the debating team, rarely made phone calls and rarely made new friends. Mostly, I spoke when spoken to, and kept conversations as short as possible.
Living like this for years meant that I became quite a reclusive person, who did everything in his power to hide stuttering. I convinced myself that I liked this, and found comfort in solitary. This of course was not good for my mental health, or my stutter. As you can imagine, at this point of my life, public speaking was quite literally the last thing I could ever imagine myself doing.
However, just before I went to university (age 18), I had one of the worst speaking experiences of my life. This was a massive wake up call for me, and made me rethink my entire life. I essentially thought what my life would look like if I was just a passive passenger to my stutter. Those thoughts and realisations of the potential future, shook me to my core. I knew a change had to be made, but I just did not know how.
Fast forward a few months, and a bunch more negative speaking experiences, and I am in my first term of university. I am browsing the SU page, and see something which honestly strikes fear into the hearts of all speakers, let alone little old me with a stutter. I see:
"Public Speaking Taster Session" - Led by the university public speaking society
Now, I am sure many of you will understand this, but damn was that a scary proposition. Speaking in and of itself was terrifying, this was another level. But, there was something about it, which made me attend. To this day, I don't know what it was. However, there are some things in life, which quite literally change the path you were going to take in this world. They pivot you in a completely different direction. Attending this session was that pivot for me.
Expecting to be mocked and ridiculed for my stutter, what actually occurred was the opposite. The public speaking society had one of the most welcoming, supportive and encouraging environments I had ever been in. There was no judgement, no belittling and no mocking. Everyone there, including the exec team, genuinely wanted to help you improve to make you the best communicator you could be.
I was instantly hooked, and attended every weekly session. I started becoming better at public speaking, and continued to hone this skill. I entered competitions, I won some of them too. Simultaneously as this, I took help from a speech coach who was the first person in my life to say, we will work on getting you over the fear of stuttering, rather than achieving fluency. This new approach was monumental for me, as I had always been trying to be fluent, I never thought once about dealing with the underlying fears. Through intensive exposure therapy and a great support group, my fears of stuttering did indeed start to diminish. Therefore, although the aim was never to be fluent, fluency naturally became more prominent in my speaking as the fear dropped. For those wondering what sort of exposure therapy it was, essentially the aim was to desensitize your brain to stuttering, and more importantly, the judgements you got from others whilst stuttering. Thus, I was made to have dozens of interactions both IRL and on the phone, where I had to stutter on purpose throughout. Seems counter-intuitive at first, but it works wonders.
By the end of the academic year, I decided to run for presidency. I was highest voted for, and then became president of the public speaking society. I then led it for a year. In this I would deliver weekly workshops to 80-100 people on how to become better speakers. This included coaching skills such as body language, vocal variety, confidence.. etc.
On top of this large group coaching, I also had a smaller group of people (5-6), which I also coached on a weekly basis. I stepped down from presidency after a year to focus more on my studies, however I still continued to coach public speaking to the smaller groups for an additional year. After graduating and leaving university, I started my day job in London. However, I realised there was a massive public speaking shaped hole in my heart. I searched far and wide to find public speaking clubs which could replicate the feeling I had at university, but I found none. So, I decided to start my own.
That is when I founded my own public speaking coaching platform, which I run to this day alongside my day job. On it I use all my experiences as a stutterer and public speaker, to help people get over their fears of speaking/public speaking, and become the most expressive and confident communicators they can be.
To this day, I am still a stutterer. I still stutter in my life, in various different speaking interactions. However, the stutter no longer holds me back from doing what I want to do. It no longer scares me as much as it used to. In some ways, I have to thank my stutter, because without it, I don't think I would have had the relentless drive, which caused me to pursue every avenue possible to become the best speaker I possibly could. People often say to me that most fluent individuals stray away from public speaking, yet I with a stutter ran towards it. I do still wonder to this day what direction my life would have taken if I didn't attend that taster session. It probably would have been very different to what it is now.

2024.05.13 16:41 AK_Speaking Stutterer To Public Speaking Coach. Ask Me Anything

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all having a good day!
My stutter has plagued every aspect of my life, in every way it possibly could. Growing up in school, I had countless experiences which led me to feel embarrassed, ashamed of myself, and even made me end up on my bed at the end of the day, crying my eyes out. The bullying, relentless shaming, belittling, just because I took an extra few seconds to say what I wanted, was detrimental to my mental health.
As a result of all this, I strayed away from the vast majority of speaking opportunities. I barely started conversations, rarely took part in class discussions, never took part in the debating team, rarely made phone calls and rarely made new friends. Mostly, I spoke when spoken to, and kept conversations as short as possible.
Living like this for years meant that I became quite a reclusive person, who did everything in his power to hide stuttering. I convinced myself that I liked this, and found comfort in solitary. This of course was not good for my mental health, or my stutter. As you can imagine, at this point of my life, public speaking was quite literally the last thing I could ever imagine myself doing.
However, just before I went to university (age 18), I had one of the worst speaking experiences of my life. This was a massive wake up call for me, and made me rethink my entire life. I essentially thought what my life would look like if I was just a passive passenger to my stutter. Those thoughts and realisations of the potential future, shook me to my core. I knew a change had to be made, but I just did not know how.
