2024.05.14 18:06 CuriousAnachronism 24 M Germany/Europe - Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus

Hello and welcome to my post. I would like to make a friend.
Here are my interests:
History. I have had an interest in history for almost a decade now, it started back in school and developed from there. Well, now that I think about it one could argue that it started even earlier in my life as I liked watching the odd historic documentary or film aired on television but it wasn't regular back then, I never actively sought it out. I am mostly interested in European history in the period between the 18th-20th century but I sometimes branch out to other time periods and other parts of the world. I watch various channels related to history and read articles and sometimes books. I have recently got a few books on the German revolution of 1848/1849 and a historical magazine on the Thirty Years' War. Besides that I try to visit museums sometimes.
Literature. Especially old novels. I like to immerse myself in the Worlds of these books, I tend to read them while listening to thematically fitting music and take my time with them. One time you are following a troubled Youth in his quest for spiritual understanding of the world, another you see the aged and decrepit Doctor gambling his very Soul on the promises of abtaining satisfaction in earthy pleasures, then again your olfaction notices the most pleasant scent known to man even as the one eminating it has the appearance of a revolting Frog. These and many other stories open up to you once you decide to set foot into the literary World.
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I am currently working intently on strengthening it. I believe that if I continue to apply myself in this regard then I should be able to finally conquer it. What language am I working on? Well, if you were to stack all the major works in it they would be as tall as a house... It is fun to go through different works in multiple languages, the same goes for film, games and such.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Well as recently as I played any major story centric game. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad. The main questline at least. Besides that I tried Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and I might give Deus Ex Manking Divided another spin (since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk when it comes to its aesthetics). Dark Souls is one of my favorite series, I still haven't beaten Elden Ring though. When it came out I wasn't in the right mindset to invest a hundred hours into it, with all those bosses and difficult locations. I think I'll only consider playing it if I am streaming it to someone. I am generally interested in either streaming games or having the person I am talking to stream them to me. To be specific I mean streaming to a single person while being on call. Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games, especially Europa Universalis IV and Heats of Iron IV, I tend to only play single player since I find multiplayer with many people to be rather stressful but on the other hand I have nothing against a co-op game. I'm not the best player though, despite the ammount of hours I have in them. Another great game I would mention would be Dragon's Dogma. A very underrated RPG. I recently beat it again and it was an atmospheric and interesting experience. It is one of those games that feel like they have an endless ammount of depth and constant new secrets to discover.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest in them has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good first season from the new arc of Bleach. Some of my favourite series include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass, Code Geass and Attack on Titan. I wouldn't mind if you were to introduce me to some new series, maybe based on the ones I mentioned. My favourite Manga is Berserk which I still follow, althought I am still not certain on the direction that the new author is taking. I suppose it really is a matter of contention whether a somewhat (or considerably warped) vision is better than an unfinished work. One could argue that a few novels remain unfinished and possess a macabre appeal to them as such.
Music. Classical music has a very special place in my heart. A few of my favourite pieces would be: Clair de Lune, Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, Devil's Trill Sonata, Danse Macabre, Valse Sentimentale, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Alegreto (by Beethoven) and Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20a: I. Scene. Moderato. There are more but these ones always invoke something in me when I listen to them. Besides Classical I also enjoy listening to Synthwave, old Western pop and J-pop, both modern and from the 20th century.
Well that about wraps it up for my interests. I would like to add a few things before I finish. I am neurodivergent (autism spectrum) and struggle with mental health. I respect the struggles others have but due to certain negative experiences I do not want to befriend people with BPD and such. In fact I would prefer another Aspie. I am rather introverted and I do not have a large social circle. If I like someone I want to spend as much time with them as possible. I have been hurt in the past by caring about someone much more than they about me so I would like to avoid such things now. Also, since this might bother some, I am reasonably conservative in my views.
If you decide to message me I ask that you send a DM instead of a chat and put the English translation of my title as your own. Take care.

2024.05.14 18:05 Absent-heartless-666 Weekly Young Jump Newcomer Manga Award interview with Ryou Minenami

Found this very interesting interview. Read the tl;dr part if you hate reading longass walls of text.
Note: Page 1 is mostly about Ryou's early days as a struggling novelist, then mangaka assistant and then mangaka and workflows during analog and digital era, the only important part is that Boy's Abyss is... not much of a culmination of her mangaka career, but a work where she can satisfy her ego the most, so i skipped them due to time. Pages 2, 3 and 4 have more info about Abyss.
PART 2: ABOUT BACKGROUND DESCRIPTIONS THAT SUPPORTS THE HUMAN DRAMA
Sauce: https://youngjump.jp/comic_award/interview/2024/05/index2.html
--How do you decide on the locations for your works?
It depends, but I tend to choose places where I have spent time in the past or places that remain in my memory.
--I see. Is there anything important to remember in order to recall the right location for the scene?
You can't open a drawer where there isn't one, so I think it's important to look at various places on a regular basis to increase the number of drawers.
--In "Shounen no Abyss", bridges seem to appear many times in important scenes, including in the first episode. Is this intentional?
Yes, it is. In the first episode, I put the bridge as a kind of borderline between life and death, and I think that the readers came to feel the danger from the bridge. So I may have consciously chosen to use a bridge in decisive scenes. Also, since Reiji is a person who cannot decide for himself whether to live or die, I have him hovering on the bridge, which is between life and death.
(Footnote for a panel from ch. 2: From the second chapter, "Incognito Date". The location of the bridge makes us feel more that Reiji is wandering between life and death.)
--I see. By having them perform on the bridge, you are also conveying the character's condition and humanity.
(Footnote with a page from ch.87: From episode 87, "After the dream". In episode 87, which is set in Tokyo, Reiji's wavering state of mind is expressed in detail using a bridge as a stage.)
--I feel that the timing of the rain is also very well thought out.
Rain is an indispensable element in a gloomy work like this, so I often think about the weather from the plotting stage. Also, when I draw rain, I imagine myself being in the rain. It is cold, my clothes stick to my skin, it gets in my eyes.... I hope that the reader can feel these things.
(Footnote with the page where Akira betrays Shino'oka and gives in to Yuko's temptation in ch102: From Chapter 102, "Amid the Overflowing Water". The texture of the rain effectively shows Nozoe's inclined mind.)
--you have to think about what kind of environment the person is in and what kind of air he/she breathes.
I think it depends on the type of work. For my works, that kind of accumulation is important, but there are also works where other things are important. I think you should think about it according to the kind of work you want to paint.
PART 3: ABOUT THE PICTURE DESIGN THAT SUPPORTS THE WORK
Sauce: https://youngjump.jp/comic_award/interview/2024/05/index3.html
--I assume that it was difficult to learn to draw pictures from a place with no experience in manga.
I learned by trial and error while actually drawing. Even now, I still have a hard time with drawings.
--I see. I (the interviewer) like the pictures in "Shounen no Abyss" very much because they match the content of the story, but it seems to me that you have changed the design of the pictures quite a bit from your past works. How did you decide on the style?
When I started my first serial, "Hoboreru Hanabi", I didn't have time to choose the style yet, so I drew what I could draw at the time. From the next serial, "Himegoto: Juukyuusai no Seifuku," I started to think about "making the eyes a little bigger" or "adding deformation.
--In the next serial work, "Hatsukoi Zombie," you used a much more deformed style of drawing. Why is that?
I think it was because it was serialized in a shounen magazine called "Shounen Sunday. I was conscious of the drawings of Rumiko Takahashi, who I have been a fan of for a long time.
--Did you have the medium of "Weekly Young Jump" in mind when you created the artwork for "Shounen no Abyss"?
If anything, I tried to make the design more in line with the content of the book. Considering the content, for example, it was difficult to use the same body size and eye size as the characters in "Hatsukoi Zombie". However, in the case of "Shounen no Abyss," the reality line differs slightly from character to character, and the way in which deformation is added is different for each character.
--Do you have any advice for new artists who want to improve their drawing?
I think it is important to be aware of the importance of observing what you are drawing. If you just draw from your imagination, you will end up with buildings whose structures you don't know, or wrinkled clothes that don't convey the texture of the wearer's clothing, which is a habit of mine. The result is a worldview that is not convincing. In this age of the Internet and other sources of information, it is important to observe the subject matter carefully and draw it, rather than making rough guesses.
--Do you still search for materials when you draw props, backgrounds, etc.?
Yes, I do. For example, I think about "What kind of room would this person live in?", "What kind of shoes would she wear?", "What kind of car would she drive? I think that the accumulation of such details leads to the sense of daily life that is conveyed in the work.
From episode 19, "seducer". The decor and accessories in Chako's room give us a sense of her life. (there was a page from that chapter i can't put in the post, gomwnnasai, gomennasai, gomennasai....)
End of part 3
PART 4: ABOUT WEEKLY SERIALIZATIONS (this is the important shit)
Sauce: https://youngjump.jp/comic_award/interview/2024/05/index4.html
-I feel that "Shounen no Abyss" has a great live-action feel to it. The characters' actions and the development of the story are unpredictable, and each time I am surprised to see how the story will unfold. Do you have a rough idea of how the story will unfold?
There is a general flow of the story, but basically, I myself draw the story while excitedly thinking, "Well, what will this person say or do on the next page?" In a nutshell, is this a romcom in which Reiji meets a variety of women and decides who he will fall in love (or into the abyss)? It's something like that (T/N: Ryou answered like questioning and answering to herself in the last paragraph of this section)
--I have heard that the starting point of the project for "Shounen no Abyss" was "a story about a double suicide" Do you often draw the story with the theme in mind?
Yes, I decide on the axis to some extent at the beginning. If there is nothing at all, the project itself will not be communicated, and it will be difficult to start a serialization.
--I think that in a weekly serialization, it is necessary to attract the reader intensely in the first episode. What were you conscious of in the first episode of "Shounen no Abyss"?
It's an ensemble piece, so I was conscious of showing all the main characters in the first episode. I also decided to make a memorable appearance of the heroine, Nagi, in the last part of the episode. I also thought about the order of the characters that Reiji meets. First, he meets Shiba-chan, who is outside of his interest, and then he meets and talks with his friend Chako. Then his childhood friend Gen would appear, and things would take a turn for the worse. Then, his family, which is the most painful existence for Reiji, makes an appearance. Then he crosses paths with a mysterious man, and finally a beautiful and bewitching woman appears. In order to make it easier for the reader to enter the world of the work, I made the flow of the story gradually fall into darkness.
--It's like Reiji is going down a flight of stairs one step at a time.
Yes, Nagi is waiting for him when he descends the last step. I changed the background accordingly. When he is with his friend Chako, the sun is out, and when the sun begins to set, he meets his family, and by the time he meets Nagi, it's already nighttime.
--I'm so impressed...! You have built in the backgrounds and elaborated on the details.
(Footnote for 2 pages from the 1st chapter that were shown: Both are from the first episode, "The Boy from That Town". He meets his friend Chako on his way to school in the daylight, but by the time he meets his family, it is dark and shadowy outside. The contrast of the background also depicts Reiji's descent into darkness.)
--What are the most important things outside of your work when working on a weekly series?
Physical strength is important. I also think it is important to keep your mind clear and avoid unnecessary stress. There are many times when I think, "I should have done this better," or "It will be difficult this time because I did that last time," but there is no use in overthinking things, so I try to switch over as soon as possible.
--Finally, do you have any advice for new artists?
I think it is important to have a lot of input while you are young, and to push your luck a little in creating your work.
--Thank you for your valuable talk!
Now, the tl;dr:
-2: Bridges in this manga are used as a gate between life and death.
-1: rain is important in this manga to depict the characters' overflowing emotions.
0: Ryou had to choose carefully the type of atmosphere and air for this manga.
1: Ryou drew Drowning Fireworks on a rush and could define a proper style, she shifts styles according to the tone and magazine shenis doing her works for.
2: She had to study locations and interior plaves to depict characters, their lives and mental states.
3: Boy's Abyss is a romcom on its structure. And the characters were introduced in a way you could instantly get familiarized with from the start, as it's an ensemble work.
4: characters were introduced in a way you can feel Reiji is going downstairs into the abyss. Yuri being the first because she's the character he's the least interested into, Chako next because she's the sun, the light, she's Kana Arima... okno, and Nagi last because she's Chako's thematical opposite and had to have an impactful introduction. and the endgame and endgoal are already decided since day one. Nagi is waiting for Reiji to do the last step
5: a good physical condition, being resourceful and brave enough are the keys for a successful weekly story.
That's it. See ya tomorrow.

2024.05.14 18:04 ScholarOk1692 Forever a misfit. 19f and I will never have a friend

We had univ ball today and it ended at 9. Everyone's gone out, while I have come back to the room, all by myself with no one to go to clubbing or dinner with. All my life I have been incredibly lonely and I'll forever be just lonely. I'll never have a friend circle or be happy life, it's so hard to not hate myself. I don't know why I end up like this, both in school and in college. I don't know what exactly is so fundamentally and intrinsically wrong with me. Sure I have few friends but I don't have anything solid or a friend circle. It's so hard to imagine next 4 years of my life like this. I hate myself so much, so so much. I am gonna get some alcohol and puke and drink myself to sleep because nothing better waits in life for me. I hate myself so so much. I don't know what is wrong with me. I'll never be happy and not lonely and I can't seem to accept it no matter how hard I try- when I have no one to drink with, no one to accompany me to a hospital or just no one to sit with. I hate myself so so much. I will never be not okay or not lonely. This is worst come to worst. Before this I would at least gonout with my ex-partner's friend circle. I have no one in my life and I'll never be okay. I am so so lonely, I hate living this life. So much. I hate myself and my life so freaking much. So so much. I'll never have a friend, never have anyone. i'll be crying and drinking myself to sleep. I hate this life so much. So much emptiness inside my chest. So much pain. So much emptiness.

2024.05.14 17:59 Geldvos $CRYM Disruptive weed extraction technology with nearby catalysts

Cryomass technologies ($CRYM) is a $7 million market cap that has developed the technology to improve the extraction of trichomes out of hemp and marihuana plants. Trichomes are the part of the plant that contains THC and CBD, it is the part of the plant that is most valuable to create and generates the cash.
The current methods to separate trichromes from the plant are still done with techniques which have been developed in the 1960's. With these methods a lot of the trichromes are lost in the process as these are very delicate particles.
Cryomass has developed (and patented untill 2038) a technology to freezedry the biomass close after harvest which preserves the biomass. This allows companies to store their plants longer with less loss. Next, Cryomass can also separe the freezedried biomass a lot faster and with out (chemical) solvents. Producing solventless adds value as you add no chemicals. It's like buying biological food. It commands a higer a price as it is more natural and more healthy. The difference is: biological food is more expensive to produce than traditional food. In the case of Cryomass, they can produce the higher quality product at a lower cost. It's a win-win.
https://preview.redd.it/k8dh2sytze0d1.png?width=650&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a7cd3479ec53148a8a7791cbc15271868dce80a
They had issues with bringing their machines in the market initially as

the market didn't believe their extraction numbers at first. "It looks too good to be true".
The capex for 1 of their systems was initially very high for a system that is new and wasn't proven yet.

Both issues are now gone. They made a beta machine which they are operating for over 2 months now. The machine is processing 2k-4k lbs of biomass per day. This has been done in collaboration with potential customers who saw with their own eyes the speed and quality of the separation process. That solved problem 1.
Problem 2 they solved with their innovative financing solution they announced earlier this year (CryoMass Announces Non-Dilutive Financing Agreement (yahoo.com)). Cryomass didn't have the cash to up front invest a new machine. The potential customer didn't want to upfront the investment. The largest shareholder (CRYM Co-Invest LP) provided cash for the construction for up to 5 units. In return Cryomass agreed to issue four warrants to Co-Invest LP with 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock underlying each warrant, for an aggregate of 20,000,000 underlying shares of Common Stock. The warrants have exercise prices of $0.25, $0.50, $0.75 and $1.00 per share of underlying.
==> these warrants are USELESS if the stock price does not go above the exercise price. That fact that the largest shareholder entered into this agreement is because they are confident that the sharepass will surpass these levels. As im writing this, the stock price is 0,0387. That means x6 to reach the lowest exercise price, x12 to reach the $0,5 exercise, x18 to reach the $0,75 and a wopping x24 to reach the $1 mark.
Cryomass will not simply sell these machines. They also retain a royalties of around $5/lb processed. Lets say a system does 2000 lbs /day for 4 days a week and 11 months a year. That would give 2000 lbs * $5 * 4 days * 4 weeks *11 months = $1.76 million revenue for a system on a yearly basis. The CEO has already confirmed that with 2 machines active, they will become cash flow positive. They have the beta machine operational, and now they announced the sale of their second machine.
I expect Q1 result this week or next week at the latest. Maybe that will give us some (audited) insights in the performance of the beta machine, but it will probably will be to early. If it's too early, then Q2 results mid august will be the time to expect fireworks.
A nice backwind for this stock is that the Cannabis sector seems to have made a bottom and is starting a new uptrend. Legislation and public narrative is evolving positively for the sector.

Stock performance of Cryomass has sucked so far. Mainly because so far they couldn't get their machines in the market and there was a liquidy threat. Both of those issues are now resolved but are NOT yet reflected in the share price. Imho that is only a matter of time.
May the stock go as high as the end consumer of the sector!

2024.05.14 17:49 Slashermovies I think I finally discovered what's wrong with the keyboard controls in this game.

Something has always irked me about how Elden Ring cancels inputs or downright does inputs even if I've pressed something else to cancel it.
For fellow keyboard and mouse users, we all know the action is done on button release instead of press.
However what's interesting is dodge doesn't have any queue system yet all other actions do.
So if you dodge and immediately press jump, you can full on take your hands off the keyboard and those button presses will queue no matter what. You can't cancel it.
Seriously keyboard players give this a try. Dodge and immediately press jump before taking your hands off the keyboard.
Now the problem arises of it not feeling good because dodges can't be queued. If you dodge and immediately press dodge again, the game "eats" that input and it doesn't register. This encourages spamming despite everyone claiming the game discourages spamming.
This is why the game feels off to play compared to the prior entry. The button queues are absurdly long for all actions (except dodge).
Couple this with certain enemies and bosses which have extremely delayed attacks or super quick strikes, and the whole "Discourages spam" doesn't stand up because these fights are absolutely BUILT to spam the dodge button at least on keyboard and mouse because of said queue system.
It's an artificial difficulty added that only slightly exists in Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro which is why Elden Ring feels really bad to play as a keyboard user.
And for those that tell me to use a controller you seem to be ignoring the fact that all the other entries work fine with keyboard and mouse.

2024.05.14 17:48 water_elaborate 23M Bulgaria, looking for a weird one

Looking for a (weird?) wife, and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to have multiple wives or not I am saying this for your due consideration.
I have dark hair white skin, am underweight 5’6 with acne scars
NSFW questions in DMs bc Idk if its allowed to talk about on this sub. details in DMs for this reason unless i get confirmation that it's ok.
I have autism, OCD, ADHD, synesthesia and others (all self diganosed but i have obvious things idk if i should get into that)
I don’t mind piercings, I enjoy them, but someone is not more or less attractive for not having them. I don’t like gauges and some of those extreme circles and cuts. I don’t have any body modifications nor had planned to make any.
I don’t mind tattoos at any place either besides health concerns n I doint have any either.
I don’t like when ppl have big round lumps of flesh that stick out, I do mean big, small/medium maybe ok or even attractive
Need to find her attractive without make up – yes I do mean without make up and there are women who I find attractive without and I do mean without make up of any age. I don’t think I care if she wears make up or not, but I have concerns it’s toxic and the other one if I turn out to be hypersensitive or irritated by it because I am autistic.
I don’t care about race or ethnicity or nationality or anything or location.
I don’t mind how she decides to cut or dye her hair, besides that im concerned about toxins and damage, but I am not imposing on her.
I like appreciate and enjoy alternative fashion (and before it was cool), ive also liked fashion that some alt people have called “too basic" (which may partially be their own insecurity), i just like what looks good. There is fashion I find too basic and kind of anti fashion in that sense too maybe bc I feel like is what people who don’t want to be judged for being anything thats not basic would wear. I don’t like it when people are mean to others based on what they wear or other pointless hierarchical stuff like that.
I don’t recall ever saying “cover up” (regarding clothing), especially wouldnt say it in an imposing way I don’t like to talk in impositions that kill a person’s invidivuality or there’s smth like you know that feels like it kills you when someone commands you. I don’t like to impose on people in that way.
If she cheats, Im not gonna attack, physically emeotionally or otherwise abuse , im not looking to hurt someone I love (besides BDSM and that stuff you know). Men have been allowed to have many wives but wives only 1 husband. I didn’t become christian bc I wanted to opress or restrict women but I believe bad things happen when you sin.
Is reflective and tries to not mistreat others
body count? Isn’t it irrelevant if she’s the right one, I never cared if she’d be a virgin until I understood more about christianity and the spirit world.
I need to be properly emotionally supported, and I want and hope to be good in her life too. I can also have irrational emotions where ik now something is not so but I am procsesing those emotions a certain way you know.
I am interested in very dark and mature topics and things, even if there are times where I may not be able to handle them properly.
Ive been interested in esoterics, occult and c0n5p1r4c135 and I do believe the c0n5p1r4c135 are real and this is important to me.
I don’t care if she talks to others to men or has male friends, idk if I even carei if she’s flirting, there’s no intention to cheat so why would I care??
I can flirt with others too but I haven’t done it much out of concern of leading them on + it doesn’t by itself have any intentions to do anything further. i can be possessive but it will be in the cute way and it can be fun to tease or be teased like that maybe idk but i dont want ot be abusive posessive.
i have female friends she can have male friends that doesn't mean anything and i find the discussions regarding that ridiculous, maybe very low vibrational or of low conscience. i havent done anything with any of them ever except with 1 who is kinda like a relationship but there's painful and difficult topic and even then not physically tho we never met physically.
If its God’s will for her to be with me and she messes up then I will just forgive her. I don’t care to check her phone besides out of curiosity, I think all those games are very below me and maybe obviously should be below anyone who claims to be in a christian marriage, granted im careful regarding eating my words.
I have to eat mostly carnivore diet with vegetables, some fruits and carbs sometimes for my health, but I have nothing against vegans if they are actaully healthy, also I know a lot of ppl can not be healthy on a vegan diet based on long story also some even on the carnivore maybe, im open to sharing details at some point but maybe not worth it here.
ethically wild, I can handle dark humor, I have enjoyed it and used it a lot myself, im not legalistic christian (if you know what that is) but im still trying to be right than wrong so I want discernment on the issue and how to handle it, if smth is actually wrong then I will try to just not do it.
I don’t care if she shaves or not.
I don’t like it when ppl make the same kind of jokes or have the same locked in interests that don’t evolve or aren’t inherently somehow stimulating and genuine. For example ofc I understand enjoying the same food or listening to the same music (except ofc that can get old at some point). I understand what feels samey to a person can vary between people and across time, but I don’t think I mean that. If a bunch of ppl make the same kind of jokes and turn it into something hierarchical and baisc, like they think everything else is dumb cuz theyh aren’t open to perspectives, ideas, growth and improvement hence they fixate on doing the same thing thats too bland over and over.
A lot of ppl have very juvenile if thats even the right word mentality to look down on others for vapid reasons including interests, when you don’t even understand them. while ive had those intrusions I figured its wrong and foolish to just give into such a lowly hostile urge, whilst I understand being overwhelmed and misreacting/just getting mad at smth for no raeson but u can figure out u shouldn’t be mad or its not that deep.
Ive looked donw on ppl for thing I saw as them being lowly about it like getting high off of the same joke instead of improving ur brain cuz I think u can even feel like when u are stupidifying urself and ingoring improvements just to do the same thing over and over again, like u can prolly feel like smth inside telling u maybe u should look elsewhere now or this could be betteur losing cognition bc ur stupidifying urself. I understand again being overwhelmed and looking for some stability but I don’t think that susually it. Al ot of those ppl may be doing the same stupid things to be liked by others and t hus disingenuous to their real self, bc as soon as u start growing improving going in different directions ppl start getting weirded out and ostracizing u. I look down on that.
I don’t need her to shave. Idk if I wont find some body hair too extreme, but so far I haven’t
! respect boundaries. If one of us doesn’t want something or anyhthing at all be it months or years even that should be respected. This is for love first not exploitation. Not any exploitation from either side and look for each other’s well being.
I want to have her walk around the place flashing me, trying to tease me and show off her body in various and subtle ways. She can be naked too if she wants or wear anything she wants
I think how someone moves can be very attractive and also developed, this goes for me too
I want to learn to dance so we can have fun and I can arouse her
I think women have qualities and do things in a way I value, enjoy and admire
I think men and women have different patterns in positive and negative ways (with individual differences of course too) and analysing them and acknowledging them with honest attempt to understand is not wrong, while exploitation abuse and denial is wrong.
if im smarter than her I recognize she can have important and valuable things to say, similarly if she’s smarter than me she also doesn’t know everything and isn’t abusive about it
about money, I have wanted money to help myself and others, not out of greed I think.
I have thought of if I need or have to or if its better to to live in the right kind of community. Takes a village to raise a child but maybe even to function, maybe the people who function not in it are the abnormal ones. I don’t think of a cold community or one that forces warmth and makes you sick, there’s a kind of higher understanding or spirituality.
I don’t mind if she’s richer smarter or more competent than me. I however want to be richer smarter and more competent regarding improving myself and growing, not to feel less insecure than her, and of course I want those things so ican be able to support her and others too anyway.
I don’t mind if she’s a girlboss or not or whatever I think its irrelevant and If she has gifts and drive and doing God’s will why would that be bad? Of course I don’t want her to be stressed out
I don’t wear deodorant or fake odors, maybe if they were natural or non toxic. I also don’t like perfume and would prolly prefer if she doesn’t use it but idk.
I think children are a very serious matter, over time in my life I was thinking about how I’d do things differently and how I’d treat children and communicate and teach them, and I’d feel like I’d see how other ppl are failing children and also children are not attempting to learn how to treat their future children or other children or ppl better like it’s weird but I think someone is going to get what I mean. Bc of my physical and mental issues I am concerned how well I wil lbe able to take care of children of course I hope to improve and God to heal me.
I don’t want my weird movements adjustments or whatever to be judged.
I don’t mind pets or maybe even can enjoy them but again am a bit concerned about my health issues. I don’t have allergies to animals that I know of. I don’t like making their health worse I don’t like selective breeding for that reason unless you’re selecting for improving health maybe.
I am usually not afraid of bugs but I don’t like killing them. If its pests like bed bugs or some kind of infestation it can make sense, but I don’t like killing random harmless spiders or others. Maybe if harmful even I’d prefer to take them away. No im not afraid of bees or wasps esp if they are alone or very small numbers, tho I may prefer to not be around a hive.
emotionally sophisticated and doesn’t criticize my whining, while my whining isn’t attempting to get her attention, pull or control her. If I need some sort of emotional support I can ask and if she is able to provide it then she is, and if she has to prioritize something else I understand and I mean I genuinely understand. Emotional support should be mutual and not leeching. I understand it may not be completely equal or if its not possible to be, but we should both care as much as we can in our respective situations.
needs to care about her health, I don’t mean exercise and exercises can be damaging and forced too, thus again neesd to care to even know of that/unless she’s managing to be really fine anyway. I am not against smokers or alcoholics, but I’d prefer it if she stops. I want her to be happy and healthy.
If she’s over or underweight bc of health issues I understand
I don’t drive part related to health issues and concern it may be too dangerous for me to drive.
God first. I don’t believe anything works without him.
I won’t k1ll her if she cheats nor 4bus3 her. I am saying bc I thought some men hide things and reveal them after they are deep. I don’t want ot be like that.
Ive had emotional and rage issues about perceived injustices (towards me and others, even when im not lcose to them or don’t know them. I have thought and speculated maybe I care more with strong emotions about ppl that I’ve never met or are very far away than most people directly that I have observed and felt out of place for it.) and I know sometimes I wasn’t actually right other times I wanted to know what is the right thing to do say and experss cuz I had thoughts like if I hurt them they wont get better, they may even get worse, I don’t even enjoy hurting ppl especially in the brain or if its smth permanent (even if I believe God can heal, ive even had angry thoughts ofc like if He can heal why don’t I beat these wrong doers up cuz they have no qualms about doing it to others unfairly He can just heal them, I also thought if I had the right words and perception I could lead them away from their wicked ways) , and sometimes I wasn’t able to, ive physically hurt people out of being pushed too much and rage and with that I think I have let people off and not confronted them a lot in part bc I wasnt sure if I was even right to confront them other parts bc ofc of fear they will mistreat me if I reveal I think what they did or said was wrong instead of discussing it and thinking about it/ they already expressed they didn’t care or justified it in twisted ways that im not sure I could argue with or if thats even human.
I have to live and I think everyone in a spacious place. Too narrow will cause muscle issues and variety of issues that will worsen over time you are not sick becaues you are old you are sick because you ignroe and distort your body. I didn’t last long at all, some ppl last longer than me just to make excuses that im lazy + their brain melts and they don’t use it much anyway so superficially they last.
Im anti v4xx I think a lot of health info is a scam and ive experienced it and saw others experience it, I think some things can be true or not have better ways at a moment to deal with some issues but it doesn’t mean its not inherently flawed or manipulated information to make u a lil bit less sick or make u sick in a different veiled way even if it makes it “better” in some kind of way, I don’t mean its ok to let someone die or suffer more bc of too much skepticism, my point is I believe in honesty and integirty cuz u cant heal soemone with lies,
and medicine like other sciences is corrupted . be careful and discerning unfortunately u cant leave ur health in the hands of conventional doctors u have to research and fight for urself.
I have experienced various synchonicities. I think God has helped me and guided me.
Throw things away and tidy when we’re ready to. Tired or health issues is not the same as lazy. No tartorship or tyranny about it. Im not growing black mold either ofc
if a woman gets SA’d, and she doesn’t want to tell exactly what happenned, but she wants help, is it right for her to be upset at you and hide information, provided you live in the 20^th century without internet and much media information, and if you don’t have personal experiences with SA or almost anyone has ever talked about it to you in your life, and you are just confused at why this person is refusing to communicate, and u have to take care of this and that issue, yet u don’t know if they are mad at u even for something that’s not even your fault or related to you if that happens a lot, then then u pressure her too much and now she’s hurt, you didn’t even think to make the situation accessible bc u’ve never even heard about that. If someone has an issue and they don’t tell your previous experiences and imagination so far suggest that they have stolen smth or messed up smth and don’t want to talk out of selfishness, not even bc they are scared of you.
I think I have went through humiliation, and doing things I didn’t want to, and failure to do what I wanted and weakness, to the point of not being able to process things and I think losing braincells and personality bc of it, trying to recover it and my functioning and health. I think most ppl are too fake and superficial, not learning anything maybe. Not reflecting, not trying, if they have gone throuhg something like that I think some people amy be just letting themselves go insane and hurt others while in denial instead of processing it, while I understad how difficult is to process it especially when people around you shame you and oppress you for it. I think I need someone who has at least the cognitive understanding for that. I don’t want to put others down for enjoying things.
Ive liked variety of media and art over time, vareity of criticising it and ideas of improving it too, and lately after understanding more about the world and Jesus Christ some of it was interestingly seen in different light. Also over the years I may have seen media nad the world in different light. I have synesthesia autism, adhd and maybe some form of OCD, besides maybe others. I’ve beebn able to induce things in my mind and some information that seemed so obvious to me others had said they realized from psychedelics, you have probably already heard some people’s minds can work like that too. Well some of the media is ofc immature since it doesn’t align with christian principels that seem true after trying to understand more and and a lot of the media is for brainwashing
ive wanted to do art music dancing and others but have struggled with health issues that I hope to resolve. If she wants to do any I am generally worried about toxicity from paint so I wouldn’t use it and wouldn’t recommend using it.
Semi ex astrologer. Bc im not sure if its all considered divination since I’ve had synchonicities related to it that I’ve felt like or wondered if God sent them to me. I do think He communicates with us somehow in various ways.
I think its importan tto be able to explain to a child why something is or isnt a certain way, bc I felt alienated from a lot of christians who just seemed to “know” things and judge things as evil or whatever with no explanation and cringe when I ask for one. I als orealize it can be hard to talk about, both bc of the content, how traumatising can be to think about again and again from an adult’s perspective + being too busy or struggle too much, not able to expalin anyinthg and everything one thinks.
I have health issues that can make it hard to think or process emotions bc of maladjustment in my cranial bones related to the whole body and pinched nerves and wiring issues, that I hope to resolve , and may need miracle healing for some of the damage, this is also why i write this way in the state i am its difficult and straining to write and use the exact corrects words and format everything in perfect order
I don’t want to hold her back from God in any way.
I sought for spiritual answers if spirituality was real until I started figuring out more and then about witchcraft, but I observed patterns in my life regarding a sin I was commiting and other reasons that made me think that it can’t be a coincidence any more + someone claiming he stopped m4g1c p0rt4l by saying “Christ is King” (but I will say Jesus Christ) and that the bible was telling the truth. The bible had upset me before in part due to things taken out of context and difficulty understanding, and of course Jesus does things a bit differently than the old testament, even if the law is still important, He teaches forgiveness.
I care a lot about the gifts of the spirit and the presence of God in my life but also in everyone else’s.
I think awareness or pcoessing of emotional nuance and self control are attractive as well as being free spirited but not exploitative
I don’t smoke or drink or do drugs I don’t even take medicine nor intend to for the most part, I don’t judge anyone who does but I’d discourage them. If my wife does I’d discourage her, I wont pester her about it unless I get discernment that I should and that it will be helpful, but I won’t judge her and I never judged anyone who did, except when they were hypocrites. I have never ingested more than a small cup iirc, if even that from alcohol and only on occassions, and then barely on any occassions. I have never smoked a cig or a joint or anything besides 2^nd hand air. I stopped taking medication for illnesses years ago and I only took sweet drugs as a child bc they were sweet after being told not to.
I have however engaged in various parts and ways of PMO for various reasons
I think everything we have is given to us by God, or if we eorked for it opportunities or what was needed to achieve it was also given, so no one can be proud.
I have done weird things for health, personal amusement and other reasons includingi finding people who may relate and enjoy them but have been accused of attention seeking and I find that deeply repulsive because im sorry for trying to find people to connect with? I didn’t push things that others arent intersted in on them, I was jst trying to exist, some ppl don’t make the difference bc they have a really small world and don’t even think about others much and why they do what they do thus make the wrong assumtpions and attempt to harass and antagonize you. I find that very repulsive simultaneously ive known what other people’s intentions and results of actions and thoughts would be, and they would be confused and hostile towards me for acting like I know them, but I DID. And what I thought would happen happenned so I was just used and hurt and bc they are soo deep in to their own mess they don’t realize what they are doing wrong and a lot of the time don’t even remember that I said what would happen. Ive spent too much time and effort on ppl hoping they would change. I am not looking to be used up by a partner nonetheless. I don’t pretend to know everyhting or be perfecct but I think some ppl are so lost, esp after ive been also judged for my mistakes and not explained like I deserve respect so many times.
Narcissist abuse mention below line warning. Hoenstly you shouldn’te ven read it because I am concerned it may just upset you. I am posting it because I think its important to show that I am aware. Specifiaclly mentions narcissistic “whatever” podcast men who project it on the women.
__________________________________________________________________
Ive had a habit over the years of engaging with media that infuriates me bc I overthink how to react in those situations bc I don’t understand how that in front of me can be a human being with a brain who cares about others and if I showed distress or anger I’d be judged and harassed for it again, despite them being harassers and controllers I nthe first place, and I am afraid of forgetting about it and walking into such situation and being unable to control it. For example the “whatever” podcast the narcissist men were saying in an imposing way how a woman only thinks for herslf bc she wanted to be aborted bc her mother didn’t have neough money to raise her. Obviously u need money to raise someone properly for various reasons, and if he himself odenst understand that a lot of ppl like that are controlling demanding and imposing, while bitter about the sacrifices their toxic environmetns forced them to make (or they made out of their own inferiority hopelessness and lack of faith) or weere actually spoiled, but bc of that they imposed themselves on other people bc I know such ppl and how they grow up and how they treat other children, and are “thankful for being alive”, but obviously don’t have enough empathy for someone who is emotionally intelligent and has struggled to not be exactly like them, bnc those ppl also harass and abuse minorities and vulnerable groups and I have storie about that dotn wanna get into, and they pretend they don’t know what im saying when I do. No I shouldn’t have to remember everything u did and ddi wrong with ur life to expali nto you how you are mistreating me and beg for you to stop. This is a narcissist. I don’t like abortion after understanding that it’s actually alive very early own and has a soul already I think or smth, but before I didn’t know that when I was more justifying it, but I can explain to someone, instead of abusing them into making them lose any ounce of respect for themselves, bc growing up in harsh environment can also often invite other people to mistreat you, even if not always the case.
Bc of ppl like that cotnrolling my own life Ive also had a lot of bitterness and thoughts of revenge and this is part realted to my health issues, and there’s evil that I don’t know if ppl do it just bc they don’t understand genuinely, bc its demons or bc they have to be done something actually important for. I knew better as a child than 30 something year old men, and I have all these issues and I am still better, how can they justify it now? So I have wanted discernment regarding what should be done about various issues. No I will not talk to you or bother you with the dark stuff over and over again I even try to avoid it or build self control bc it can make you go insane im just putting it here to show that I am at least aware and thoughtful of that.

2024.05.14 17:45 the_morrigu Best exterior lightning mods, but not too dark and with good compatibility (Or config recommendations)

Hey all!
Right now I'm modding the whole lightning system in Skyrim (v1.6.640). For interiors, I'm using ELFX and ELFX enhancer with ELFX Fixes plus the Unofficial ELFX SMIM fps patches. I think that's all I need, yes? I think interiors look good, a little dark but not unbearable. I chose ELFX over Lux because I've read that the latter is a bit more taxing on performance and darker. Not sure about the patching situation though.
However, I'm not sure what mod to use for exteriors so that they don't look way too dark. I'd like to still be able to see at least a little without needing a torch (but of course if I want to see even more, I'm perfectly okay with needing one. In fact, that's a good thing!). Plus, I'm concerned about this mod's compatibility with my other mods, like the weather one and SPO.
I'm trying LOSII right now, because I really like the lamp posts additions and would like to have those even if it means using another similar mod, but I think it's a tad too dark... plus it seems like some meshes aren't affected by it? Might be a problem related to my LO though. If you think that's the case, please help! (LO listed at the end of the post)
As an important note, I'm using Skyrim Project Optimization (concerned about compatibility with this one) Particle Patch for ENB, ENB Dynicamic Cubemaps, ENB Light, EVLAS, and Embers XD. As for weather mods, I'm using Azurite Weathers II. Also planning on installing Azurite Horizons ENB. Oh, I also have Dawn of Skyrim Director's Cut and The Great Cities - Minor Cities and Towns.
Here's the relevant LO:
[Fixes/Adjustments]
-Skyrim Project Optimization SE
-Particle Patch for ENB
-ENB Dynamic Cubemaps
[Atmosphere & Weather]
-Embers XD
-ENB Light
-EVLAS
-Azurite Weathers and Seasons v2
[Interior Lightning]
-Enhanced Light and FX
-Unofficial ELFX SMIM FPS Performance Patch
-ELFX Fixes
-ELFX Enhancer
[Grass Mods + Fixes]
[Multiple Exterior Edits]

LOS II + Campfire addon and patches for: USSEP, CRF, SMIM, ELFX, 3DNPC

[Single Area Edits]
-Multiple Player Homes (like Eli's Breezehome)
-JK'S Interiors + Patches
[Multiple Area Edits]
-Dawn of Skyrim Director's Cut
-The Great Cities - Minor Cities and Towns SSE Edition
I'd really, really, really appreciate it if anyone would comment on my LO :) I followed the Logical Load Order Guide posted on SkyrimModsXbox and the Maxwell Template here , but some sections confused me a bit so I followed my gut. Might have made a mistake tho. I'm specially worried about whether the Atmosphere/Weather section is well placed like this, my concerns are possible conflicts with interior lightning mods and exterior lightning mods, like LOS II, maybe even grass mods?
Anyway, thank you so much for reading, this got way longer than I expected it to!

2024.05.14 17:42 Mr____Grim 20 [M4F] Europe/Anywhere. Play with my hair and I'll cook for you forever.

Hey Hey the names Kacper, yes like casper the friendly ghost XD I'm a college student studying English philology but I do voice acting as a side thingy, so hope that means I have a cool voice XDDD
in my free time I like playing video games and would be nice if we could play together, especially if you can carry 🙏 (i suck 💀) I also listen to a TON of music, it's a problem at this point XDD (i had 83k minutes on my spotify wrapped, for the love of god send help). I also really enjoy stuff like writing, reading, painting, gardening (I have like 9 plants in my room rn XDD) watching movies, anime, reading manga, working out and making sculptures with clay
As for me and my personality, I'll quote my bestfriend here "he's a chill and funny guy", now you may be asking yourself: was he held at gunpoint and made to say that and yes he was XDD, dont worry he's fine...probably XD, as for looks I have short dark brown hair (growing it out) and dark brown eyes, along with glasses, I'm also average weight and I'm 189cm tall and according to another friend I have a ✨️panache✨️ voice, what does that mean? I have no clue but their pretty looney so I think its good? XDDD I also always try and make light of a situation trying to crack jokes and just overall just trying to make people happy and I've been told I'm protective of people I'm close with XDD
I would like to say one thing that may sound a bit harsh, but if your the type of person to ghost/ignore/ignore for attention or the like then don't message me, ik it can seem harsh but we're all adults here and shouldn't play those types of games.
I would prefer someone from 19-28 location doesnt really matter to me but if theirs a big time difference you should have good communication skills. Id like someone charismatic, bold, confident, loving but most importantly is someone i can have a fun relaxed, comfortable conversation with and not one where im carrying the whole thing like im sisyphus XDD. And I'd prefer if we started as friends as I don't like rushing things like this.
I would like to make this more indepth but I'm currently bothered by my brother for something and I might need to suplex him soon 🙏 XDD hoping to hear from you soon tho ☺️ (when you message Introduce yourself!)

2024.05.14 17:39 Mineral_Miscreant Elemental resistances and damage questions

Hi everyone. I'm relatively new to Tactics Ogre and am enjoying playing the game for the first time. I've been doing some research on resistances and would appreciate some clarification. Some of these interactions are not intuitive for me. Thanks for your help!
I'm going to partially quote How Damage is Calculated in Tactics Ogre: Reborn v1.01 - 2023-01-20 by u/charlesatan to frame my questions.

If the attacker's Action element is strong against the defender’s Affinity, the defender's Elemental Resistance that will apply is the element that is strong against the former's element (i.e. it will check the defender's equipment for which element to best use). This cannot reduce the attacker's modifier bonus to below 0 (i.e. if the elemental resistance > the damage bonus, this will reduce the damage bonus to 0).
If the attacker's Action element is weak against the defender’s Affinity, the defender's Elemental Resistance that will apply is the element that matches the defender’s Affinity.

Does this mean with dark affinity characters I should equip dark elemental gear for resistance against light?
Also, if your character's affinity is strong against an attacking affinity, then the damage value from resistances can actually go below a neutral value. Is this pretty much right?

If the attacker’s weapon Element is strong against the defender’s Affinity, apply the weapon’s elemental damage value as a percentage modifier to the Stat Overhead. (For example, if the defender is ice, a weapon with 20 fire would increase the Stat Overhead by 20%.)
If the spell’s Element is strong against the defender’s Affinity, apply the weapon’s elemental damage (regardless if it matches the spell’s Element or not) as a percentage modifier to the Stat Overhead. (For example, if the defender is ice, and the spell used is fire, and the weapon has an elemental value of 20–regardless if it’s ice or fire or some other element–the Stat Overhead would increase by 20%.)
Currently, spellcasters don’t get to apply any bonuses (including elemental damage bonuses) from their weapon if they are either wielding a two-handed weapon or wielding a one-handed weapon and nothing in the offhand.

So I understand that having a light character use light magic with ripples rod cudgel in the primary hand and a shield/dagger in the off-hand will increase magic damage (I guess weapon element doesn't really matter). Does this also apply to weapons such as daggers. As in casting dark magic against light character will do more damage if an elemental dagger is equipped in the primary hand with something in the offhand?

The bug is that for defenders, instead of using the corresponding defense values, the defense value used is dependent on the weapon used in the defender’s primary hand.

How does this affect damage? For example does 30 resistance decrease damage by 30% if your character resistance matches the damage of your primary weapon?
I hope I explained my questions properly. Thanks!

2024.05.14 17:32 pitchthrowdodge Classic Starter Guide: An In-Depth Look

With all the new players entering the game as of late, a lot of the same questions get asked - specifically, ones like "How can I make the perfect team for classic/endless/etc.?". The guide ahead is an attempt at answering more common questions on the former end, from the perspective of someone who almost exclusively plays Classic and many wins under my belt in doing so. Community feedback welcome; hopefully something like this can expand into something like a wiki/full guide so we can help new players down the line, too!
Classic and You: Starting Out
So you just picked up the game, but not sure where to start. "Which starters are best?" "What team should I go with first?" "I unlocked [x] - can I beat Classic with this?"
Let me reassure you: you can beat Classic with anything. (Yes, even something like Caterpie.)
That said, it's understandable to not know where to start, especially if you don't know all the starters, or maybe haven't played all the various generations of Pokemon through the years. Many of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, and some are built stronger than others. For example: Fuecoco is commonly the #1 recommended starter out of the base selection you get when first starting the game. Why? His final evolution, Skeledirge, naturally learns Torch Song, which is a hard-hitting fire move that guarantees a Sp. Attack buff each time it hits. This lets you snowball fairly quickly, as each attack makes you stronger and stronger during battles. Many starters have "specialty" tricks like this that give them an edge - Sprigatito's final evolution, for instance, gets Flower Trick, a hard-hitting grass move that always crits (and therefore always ignores opponent defensive boosts and/or your own negative debuffs). Even with all these being the case, though, there's no "perfect" team to start with that will guarantee a win - and in fact, getting a win on your first run can be exceedingly difficult. Your starters all only have 10 IVs, neutral natures, and no egg moves - they're the bare bones minimum to get going. And that's okay. But it means you need to temper your expectations.
Pokerogue is a rogue-like - and in classic rogue-like form, you build upon what you start with little by little. Your primary goal shouldn't be to get a Classic win at the start. It's certainly doable, but even if you win, you're still likely without any reliable starter to take on Endless just yet, so there's no sense in rushing there. Instead, focus on that concept of building - specifically, building your starter pool. Every time you catch something, you unlock it as a starter (if you don't have it yet). You also get candies, which can be used to power up those starters by either unlocking a passive ability (unlocking additional features) or reducing their point cost, letting you bring more starters to each run (or more powerful ones!). Catching things with higher IVs also make your starting stats better - catching a 31 Speed IV Pidgey, for instance, means your Pidgey starter now permanently has 31 Speed IVs. More stats = more power, and getting higher IVs on your starters is probably the biggest early jump you can get on pushing your team further.
With this in mind, making a "perfect" team is less important than just making A team, so that we can go out and catch some things. As for what to catch, though, here's a list of things I'd keep an eye out for:

Anything with a missing and/or "dark" pokeball under their name. Just like in some of the main Pokemon games, Pokemon in Pokerogue will be marked with a pokeball if they've been captured before. If it's missing, and you want it as a starter, catch it! More importantly, though, is the "darkened" icon of the pokeball - this indicates that you've unlocked the starter, but this one has something you don't have yet; maybe a gender, or maybe an ability you don't have yet. For instance, a Meowth starter that you have may only have Pickup, but the one in battle before you now has Technician. Catching these "darkened ball" pokemon will unlock more options for your starters, letting you switch between these unlockables at the pokemon select screen when you start your later runs. I generally recommend catching as many of these as possible - in the beginning, it'll seem like every pokemon has a dark ball, but that's because you don't have many things unlocked yet. As you unlock more things, they'll get rarer - and more importantly, when you start looking for those elusive Hidden Abilities (HAs), these darkened balls will help you discover them more easily when you have everything else already unlocked. Remember, this is a rogue-like - we're building our starters here for future runs!
Anything "rare". This is somewhat subjective, because "rare" can mean anything from "hard to find" to "legendary". In general, though, I recommend keeping an eye out for things you don't see often - starters, for instance, or legendary/pseudo-legendary/ultra beast/etc. "boss" monsters at the end of every 10 waves. But catching duplicates serves a secondary purpose - remember, it also gets you candies, which you can use to power up those rare pokemon starters you have later. Getting candies from friendship is certainly doable, but especially for rarelegendary pokemon, this can take a loooooong while. Catch them if you can to make it easier on yourself later. (A sub-point of this: If a rare or starter is available in a daily run, consider "farming" the daily run over and over to catch them again and again! Many of the daily run guides point these out intentionally for this reason - daily runs can sometimes be the best way to target farm candies in this way.)
Anything you plan on using a lot. Somewhat of another sub-point of the above, catching duplicates of things you know you'll use often can be useful for candy collection. Specifically, this works well for things you know you'll use often - your first few shinies, for instance, or general-use pokemon that have Pickup. Build your Zigzagoon army! Candy collecting is especially useful for these to reduce costs, letting you take more of them with your legendary into Endless mode when you get to that point.
Any shiny. This goes without saying for many, but shinies are the lifeblood of Pokerogue. You need them...a lot of them. They come in three flavors - starting from the weakest, a yellow shiny (Luck 1), then blue (Luck 2), and finally red (Luck 3), with the color being the "star" marker of the shiny pokemon on their HP bar. Eventually you'll want as many Luck 3 shinies as you can get your hands on, but when you're starting out, you're building from 0 - so catch any you see, even if it means failing your Classic run to do so. A new run takes an hour to start back up; a new shiny could take days or even weeks to find in Classic. (Ideally, though, don't be afraid to refresh/"save scum" to try and find a way to catch it without sacrificing your run if you can, and if you're willing. No sense in wasting all that work.)
Don't neglect your team. Remember, our eventual goal is to win Classic...but more importantly, we're hoping to get as far as we can, and 190 if possible. The sprint from 180-190 is the most profitable floor in Classic for egg vouchers, with each Elite 4 member & the Champion at 190 giving them upon victory (Plus, first time wins get you bonus achievement vouchers too - two for one!). With this in mind, you want to make sure to balance your team out as you go, and don't neglect it as you progress. Perhaps your team needs a good rock-type wall to throw in the way of hard-hitting trainer pokemon. Maybe you're looking for a Ground-type to soak all those electric moves you keep running into in the electrical biomes. Good team building will carry you further than any IV or egg move ever could. Even the strongest legendaries can fold to a weakness.

This "starting out" phase doesn't have a specific length of time to get past - everyone progresses at their own pace, and some will get luckier with egg pulls and catches than others. Don't get discouraged. Just keep building on what you have - that's your initial goal, and it only gets easier as you do it.
As you start going through your Classic runs, the main resource you're looking to accumulate at first is egg vouchers - as many as you can get your grubby little new player hands on. Beating gym leaders, Elite 4 members, the Champion, and beating Classic all reward you with them. Doing the Daily Run each day also rewards you with a 10x pull voucher. Rarely, they can even show up after beating a stage in the item choice rewards - if so, pick them, usually over most anything else. Eggs build on your starters, and usually with either massively boosted IVs or egg moves to give them considerable bumps in power. Rarely, you can even get shinies from them.
And speaking of the egg gacha: only pull from the Shiny gacha at first. The entirety of your goal as a new player should be accumulating shinies. The legendary gacha is misleading - you only get increased odds for the shown legendary, not all of them (at least as of this post), and even then legendaries often have a huge starter cost tacked onto them, making teambuilding difficult early on. Once you build up your starter collection with a good few handfuls of shinies, and are cruising along in Endless vacuuming up vouchers, you can spend some on the other gachas for specific niches if you like (move gacha for egg moves, legendary gacha for legendaries), but for the most part the shiny gacha is where the money's at. Besides, the shiny gacha can hatch legendaries, too - so you're not missing out on legendaries by not hitting its specific gacha.
I Got a Few Shinies And Legendaries - What Now?
Alright, so you've been cruising along, catching everything you see and building your starter pool like the rockstar rogue-like player you are. Keep building from here, but now you have more options - you can start bringing shinies on your Classic runs to improve the quality of item rewards you get at the end of each floor; you can maybe even bring a legendary/ultra beast along to have an easier time against the end boss and get that first win. At this point, if you haven't gotten that first win yet, now's the time to start knuckling down and making a serious go at it. Some general points of advice for Classic success I haven't yet covered:

Early on, focus on 1-2 pokemon. Ignore the rest. Same advice as in Endless works here. This perhaps sounds counter-intuitive, but until at least floor 30-40, try your absolute hardest to only focus on leading with 1-2 pokemon (and that second one should ideally only be necessary to cover the weaknesses of the first). Your immediate early-game hurdles are the two rival battles at floors 8 and 25 (and maybe a Gym Leader battle at 20), and if you try to level everyone evenly you're going to find it harder to win. The Exp All and Exp Charms you get from rival battles and item rewards will more than catch your team up later even if you don't ever use them...so don't worry about them for now. Right now, you're creating the Ultimate Early Game Juggernaut(s) to get you through the initial hurdles.
Be frugal with your money in the beginning. In Endless, it's common practice to reroll often to look for specific items - candy jars, rare candies, etc. That's because in that mode, once you get set up you have almost unlimited income. In Classic, your income is much more limited (usually hovering ~$100k or so by the mid to late floors), and you don't have the luxury of blindly rerolling for optimal results. The option to "save scum" your re-rolls exists, if you were willing - after winning a floor, check the rerolls, and if you don't like any of the offerings, refresh the page. This will "start the floor over", resetting the rewards and refunding your money. This isn't really necessary, though; in fact, I rarely reroll rewards at all until floors 180-200, and often settle with generic healing/item rewards. Why? You'll notice through your runs that in the midgame (floors 50-150, mainly), you'll accumulate quite a bit of gold; instead of using this gold for rerolls then, where it doesn't help much, you should instead wait for the later floors where you start to take on the toughest opponents of the run - the Elite 4 and Champion on floors 180-190, the final rival battle at 195, and the final boss at 200. Specifically, 180-190 is where you'll buy more healing items than perhaps the rest of the run combined (to keep your team healthy in between each Elite 4/Champion battle), and 190-200 are where you really want to look for things like X [stat] items to give your team that extra "oomph". Even the strongest legendaries fear a Butterfree packing +4 X Specials and an X Speed. Money saved early on lets you dump it into rerolls later where it matters most. (Don't ruin your run by being *too* frugal, though - if your party is near death early on, spend it. You can't spend it later on if you're dead.)
Pickup is NOT necessary (but it is helpful). I see a lot of general advice in posts on pokerogue that tell new players to stack Pickup team members on Classic. This isn't necessary, or even arguably desirable past maybe the first 20-30 floors unless you're running a very strong carry that can solo all 200 floors (which is extremely unlikely, and far more difficult to boot). I've won Classic many times without using Pickup at all, and I can't say as I miss it when I don't have it. More importantly, you need to be cautious which items you're picking up - the end boss can and WILL use them against you, so things like Sitrus/Enigma/stat boosting berries that you picked up along your 200 floors suddenly seem a lot less useful when they're in enemy hands. That said, if you bring someone along with Pickup, be generous with handing out berries and other items to your party regularly using the "Transfer" option, so you can reap the benefits all throughout your 200 floors. Sitrus, Enigma, and the speed/attack boosting berries in particular are great in trainerival battles where you expect to take hits and want to revenge kill things. In the endgame against the final boss, though, perhaps load everything on a party member you hope never to bring out (such as your Pickup mon) so they don't get stolen. (Hot take: I prefer to use no berries at all in my Classic runs if possible, with one exception: Lum! Lum is amazing for healing status effects, especially when it feels like some trainers have all the hacks against you, and it doesn't feel bad if/when it gets stolen later.)
The same goes for Pokerus. The biggest advantage to having pokerus is capping out your levels faster; even without it, in the later floors you'll still cap your levels by each final stage so long as you pick up a charm or two along the way (which you'll usually do, pokerus or not). It's also a decent help for that floor 11-25 range where you're at your weakest and that second rival challenge comes knocking. In Endless it's common practice to take a pokerus pokemon so your carry can keep up with the level gains of the floors until you get fully set up; in Classic, the scaling doesn't feel nearly that punishing. If you can bring a good pokerus pokemon, though, it's more helpful than not - just don't go out of your way for it or feel like it's "necessary".
Understand how biomes work, at least somewhat. Many of them chain into each other naturally, which is part of where the memes come from regarding "endless water biomes" or similar. As you start to expand your starting 2-3 into a full 6, know what biomes you need to look for and what to avoid. This is part of why the Map is one of my favorite item rewards to pick early on - it lets you target farm the remaining members of your team much easier, and towards the last 50-80 floors you can choose the easier ones to coast through while you finish building your team. In particular, routes you need to keep in mind:
- You always start in "Town" and move into "Plains"; this is 100% guaranteed in every Classic run. This means the first 20 floors are always weighted heavily to normal- and grass-types. When building your starting team, it's helpful to keep this in mind - for instance, picking up things strong against these two types (shoutout to Flamigo/Hawlucha!) and maybe not bringing a grass type knowing that you're likely to catch one early on if you're desperate for filler.
- "Metropolis" vs. "Lake" vs. "Grass": Moving out of Plains, these are your three options available if you have the Map by now. The biome you leave Plains for is the biggest observation you can make for your run - it will dictate how you form the rest of your team as you progress into the midgame. If you get diverted to Lake, but need an Electric-type (for instance), you need to find a way to get the map to divert to "Construction Site" or loop back to Plains, or you may be hard pressed to find an Electric-type at all in your entire run. The same goes for Fairy- and Steel-types - "Fairy Cave", the biome with the largest quantity of fairy types, is only accessible through "Meadows", which requires you to go through the forest biomes first. If you're not looking like you're going through those areas, you'll need to be less picky about what fairy-types you come across if you hope to snag one. (I recommend visiting the wiki for their nice little flowchart diagram if you ever want a more nuanced look into each path and where they can potentially lead, along with what spawns in each.)
Build a well-rounded team. Building mono-type teams is cute, but ultimately extra work. Focus on coverage and being able to handle anything that comes along - remember, the last floors feature a variety of Elite 4 members and the Champion, all of which will require a varied approach on what types of Pokemon to bring for best results. By floor 100, you should either have most of your team set or a plan to fill the rest out by the time you reach ~170. By 180 it's likely too late (with the exception of maybe getting a last Mushroom or TM to fill out a moveset).

2024.05.14 17:32 Geldvos $CRYM Disruptive weed extraction technology with nearby catalysts

Cryomass technologies ($CRYM) is a $7 million market cap that has developed the technology to improve the extraction of trichomes out of hemp and marihuana plants. Trichomes are the part of the plant that contains THC and CBD, it is the part of the plant that is most valuable to create and generates the cash.
The current methods to separate trichromes from the plant are still done with techniques which have been developed in the 1960's. With these methods a lot of the trichromes are lost in the process as these are very delicate particles.
Cryomass has developed (and patented untill 2038) a technology to freezedry the biomass close after harvest which preserves the biomass. This allows companies to store their plants longer with less loss. Next, Cryomass can also separe the freezedried biomass a lot faster and with out (chemical) solvents. Producing solventless adds value as you add no chemicals. It's like buying biological food. It commands a higer a price as it is more natural and more healthy. The difference is: biological food is more expensive to produce than traditional food. In the case of Cryomass, they can produce the higher quality product at a lower cost. It's a win-win.
https://preview.redd.it/5s7sstsjie0d1.png?width=650&format=png&auto=webp&s=f06a7057f80a5017cf37b1b40514535d43da0b64
They had issues with bringing their machines in the market initially as

the market didn't believe their extraction numbers at first. "It looks too good to be true".
The capex for 1 of their systems was initially very high for a system that is new and wasn't proven yet.

Both issues are now gone. They made a beta machine which they are operating for over 2 months now. The machine is processing 2k-4k lbs of biomass per day. This has been done in collaboration with potential customers who saw with their own eyes the speed and quality of the separation process. That solved problem 1.
Problem 2 they solved with their innovative financing solution they announced earlier this year (CryoMass Announces Non-Dilutive Financing Agreement (yahoo.com)). Cryomass didn't have the cash to up front invest a new machine. The potential customer didn't want to upfront the investment. The largest shareholder (CRYM Co-Invest LP) provided cash for the construction for up to 5 units. In return Cryomass agreed to issue four warrants to Co-Invest LP with 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock underlying each warrant, for an aggregate of 20,000,000 underlying shares of Common Stock. The warrants have exercise prices of $0.25, $0.50, $0.75 and $1.00 per share of underlying.
==> these warrants are USELESS if the stock price does not go above the exercise price. That fact that the largest shareholder entered into this agreement is because they are confident that the sharepass will surpass these levels. As im writing this, the stock price is 0,0387. That means x6 to reach the lowest exercise price, x12 to reach the $0,5 exercise, x18 to reach the $0,75 and a wopping x24 to reach the $1 mark.
Cryomass will not simply sell these machines. They also retain a royalties of around $5/lb processed. Lets say a system does 2000 lbs /day for 4 days a week and 11 months a year. That would give 2000 lbs * $5 * 4 days * 4 weeks *11 months = $1.76 million revenue for a system on a yearly basis. The CEO has already confirmed that with 2 machines active, they will become cash flow positive. They have the beta machine operational, and now they announced the sale of their second machine.
I expect Q1 result this week or next week at the latest. Maybe that will give us some (audited) insights in the performance of the beta machine, but it will probably will be to early. If it's too early, then Q2 results mid august will be the time to expect fireworks.
A nice backwind for this stock is that the Cannabis sector seems to have made a bottom and is starting a new uptrend. Legislation and public narrative is evolving positively for the sector.

Stock performance of Cryomass has sucked so far. Mainly because so far they couldn't get their machines in the market and there was a liquidy threat. Both of those issues are now resolved but are NOT yet reflected in the share price. Imho that is only a matter of time.
May the stock go as high as the end consumer of the sector!

2024.05.14 17:31 okbinhok Dark Matter Playoffs PJ Washington

What are your hopes or predictions for cards we could potentially get after the conclusion of the round 2 of playoffs? Last night I was hoping the Mavericks would win so we could get a PJ Washington card, he was going off and my team is relatively weak at SF. Or a Dan Gafford even? What players are you hoping will play well so that we could potentially get their card made? A free Naz Reid would be sick too.

2024.05.14 17:29 TrollHumper Surprisingly gutsy writing choice (main antagonist related).

The game makes it clear that the humans were better off with Chronos was in power. I expected the whole Golden Age thing to be just a propaganda pitch. After all, what is and isn't a Golden Age is a metter of perspective. Maybe it was only so "golden" for Chronos himself, no? Maybe, to him, the creation of humanity was all just a mistake and it's time to wipe the slate clean on that, or something along the lines, eh? Maybe, he just wants to destroy the world and start over, creating some golden age for whatever he chooses to populate it with?
Nope!
He's not a world-destroying dark lord. Titanomachy and the follow up we see here is not a good vs evil conflict. He treated his family in an abominable way... but, apparently, things were very different for the human kind. The writers didn't take the easy way out. Even Nemesis admits that the mortals had it better under Chronos, which Melinoe casually dismisses.
"How splendid that must have been for them! If only Chronos could have been so generous with his sons and foster-children. You think him being somewhat nice to some mortals makes up for what he did?"
I really love that dialog. I love just how perfectly in character it is for a Greek goddes to say. It's her family that matters not some mortals, lol.

2024.05.14 17:28 AkitsukiRyou Depressed

Hello everyone, I'm a 33F from SEA and currently unemployed. I have a long term depression since I was a teenager and have been a working progress to be better for myself.. I was fine, but this year hits hard when I lost my job. Other than that, I was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. Right now, I feel hopeless since it's hard to get a job no matter how hard I try with my age and medical conditions and I'm starting to have a dark thoughts, I honestly don't want to hurt myself like I used to but I feel that it won't go away. I can't talk about this with my family because I'm ashamed since I'm already a burden for my retired parents and I don't have any close friend to talk about this..

this post is going to be all over the place . i apologize in advance lol . need to let out my stream of consciousness before i lose it .
today everything has felt wrong . i don't know how else to explain it besides that . i feel bad for staying in bed for slightly too long . i feel bad for not immediately going to my girlfriend and try to spend time with her . i shame myself for wanting time to myself because i've felt burnt out from everyone recently . i feel so guilty for wanting to be alone so much . even talking about how i feel doesn't help because i feel like i have no right to complain . or even that i'm being sensitive or overreacting to something . my girlfriend has to reassure me that these things aren't true and aren't our reality . i feel bad for her having to reassure me in the first place . a normal person wouldn't have to be told what's real and what's in their head . i try to go outside on walks , listen to music , and try to take my mind off of things . the moment i get back , it's as if i never left and i'm right back at square one . i haven't had my medication in a month or two now . not by choice really . my insurance was cut off and i don't have any money to pay for it out of pocket . it feel as if i've lost all the progress i had made in the months i had been taking my meds . i feel like how i did before starting them and it's makes me not want to try to get better anymore . i get so mad at the smallest of things . at times i feel like screaming and crying all at once , but moments later , i'll feel completely fine and see how irrational my thinking had been . sometimes i get so red hot with rage that i can't even picture a reality where im not upset . but moments later , having calmed down and trying to regain my composure , i fall right back into my emotions again . it's all so overwhelming . i catch myself staring out into nothingness a lot of the time now . thinking about so many negatives that feel impossible and pointless to put into words without sounding crazy . i'm so good at finding the negatives in any situation . i don't know if this is more ocd than bpd , but i have a big problem with staring at myself in the mirror . sometimes for hours on end . looking for any imperfections to fix . hating the person that stares back at me . i know im not crazy but that's still how i feel most of the time . no matter how i try and go about things , i always end up in the same spot that ive been trying so hard to get away from . i feel such a great deal of shame for even existing . for my loved ones having to simply be around me . i wish i didn't feel this way , but i do . the only solace i can seem to find is smoking weed with my girlfriend , but even that is short lived . i can only seem to focus on the negatives . they always completely outweigh and overshadow any positives there are in my life . all i want to do is curl up into a ball under my covers and stay shrouded in the darkness forever .

2024.05.14 17:18 CrimsonGatSett "Early Access"

I've played tarkov since 2017 ( a year after it's release) and a few things I'd like to note. First I'm not going to mention the obvious with the new edition.
To start, I hate this new Era of "Early Access" titles, when it's really just an excuse to not produce the game at the start. Dayz is not exception. If you were to tell me in 2017 that tarkov would not be in 1.0 I would have waited to buy. I have 1500 hours so it's been fun, but the fact that they do "major" changes every year vs wipe is so pointless. Since you get no real rewards for playing each wipe or even reaching kappa, the next wipe feels stale. Sure we got 3 new maps in the past 5 years but they've been unrunnable and not fun to learn. Adding landmines and other zones to new maps is just frustrating when they are in the middle of the map. When "Early Access" is thrown around I usually think that they are experimenting and trying to find and fix what works best. BSG however makes very tiny changes and will brandish them as game breaking. Each year I've played, audio, performance, and cheating have not only been a problem but all seemed to get worse as new content arrives. The rapid changes they are making because of the new failure they brought is how the game should of been handled to begin with. IMO I feel like having the same quests (with the exception of a FEW new ones) gets boring. For the people who haven't gotten kappa, it's fun getting until you've gotten it once or twice then it just feels stale, kinda like beating a story game a few times. If they have 3 separate quest lines, COMPLETELY different containing 0 quests from each similar, per wipe of the year (3 wipes usually per year). I feel like a game that's been out for 8+ years should of been out of Early Access years ago.
I also feel that edge of darkness should of gone away about 4 years ago. Before people freak, I say this because they kept it for greed, they could of added the unheard edition and been fine (as long as what was included was given to eod). The reason I think EoD should of been removed earlier than now is that too many have it. I honestly forgot about the custom name tag when buying it, and thought it was just a bug or player scav when I got killed by a white tag. It was never after I'd see white tags, and with 1500h that's saying something. EoD should of been limited, usually a "limited" product doesn't last 8 years.... unless it's Baja blast. They could of released the more expensive version and given EoD holders the items in it, EoD however was so broken, if you played tarkov frequently you had to have it. Money and guns don't matter from it, but a lvl 4 stash and gamma case makes a huge difference, and I'd still argue there are less than 100 people that have gotten Kappa that haven't owned EoD.
Arena is the last thing I wanna talk about, I know I got a large wall of text. BSG was so upset about arena doing bad they felt the need to make another cash grab with UHE. Arena however could of and CAN still be fixed easily. First remove all the maps in it now. Second add snips from maps similar hlto how CSGO did their 2v2 maps where they are fractions of other maps. Snips from maps like customs, maybe making it a Dorms fight, or for bigger team battles maybe even sawmill from woods. This would be the absolute cheapest way to get players to play, while still having features like voip. Of course the biggest change and most important, is stop trying to be CS or valorant. We don't need a buy system with money yatatat that's not what Arena needs. I'm fine with TDM and I enjoyed the 2v2 3v3 5v5 tournament mode but stop with the money to items modes. Also important, the weapons, armor, ammo etc... I hate what I'm about to say, but this feature needs to be copied from Call of Duty. What I mean is that you can make custom loadouts with whatever you want. Yes I get that it would issue a meta to the game but a system like this where armor and ammo stay at mid tier would work way better than play the game for 50h they you get to get a dusk cover on your ak. Another system, which is the one I want more, is one that compares to both Arena and Regular. Guns, ammo, armor, etc... pull directly from your stash, if it's tdm you'd keep the weapon and total ammo you had per death, where as a more hardcore version would be you can die and get looted per round and lose/gain gear giving more or less incentive to the quality of gear brought. There could be quest and other reqards that would give some help towards your Tarkov Regular character such as money and gear. This would give a boost to Early game and players not familiar with active combat. With familiar maps and situations relative to the real game, this would 100% give people a reason to buy Arena. But similar to other games the way to prevent fall off of the game even with changes, is a reward system that bsg can control. Rewards like winning a tournament gives you permanent clothing or gives you a random item like scav junk case does in the hideout. With rewards and a rotation on maps in the pool Arena would easily be playable.
Thanks for reading this wall of text, these are a few changes I think if implemented Tarkov would have reason to play and not just play until 30 and quit which is what the average level people stop at per wipe, and also give reason to play Arena.

2024.05.14 17:15 Jim_Reality CURIOUS. Question 2 of 2

Does human-created synthetic (silicone based) life have a purpose? Let's look at biological life.
Biological life all revolves around the chemical oscillation of O2 and CO2. It's fundamental- animal forms move O2 to CO2 and benefit from its exothermic release of stored energy. Plant forms act in reverse and consume solar energy to create organic matter and move CO2 back to O2. Water is critical too by providing the H atoms needed for creation of organic matter.
Life revolves around E= MC2, with plants creating organic matter by converting miniscule amount of energy to mass with photosynthesis with an energy input, and animals consuming the matter and enjoy the release of subsequent stored energy. The C2 constant is so huge we can't perceive the mass change in chemistry- we look at the atomic masses in chemical equations as assume mass is conserved. To our eye it is, but it's not. It's no surprise humans love burning fossil fuels to release CO2 because its the same exact process as when we breath and eat. Animals are designed to enjoy the release of energy release from consuming organics. It's out fundamental purpose.
So then turning to synthetic like, silicone- based, electricity based, or whatever... What would be it's purpose in our know physical universe? It doesn't seem to have one. Matter and and energy exist and have purpose, but biological life seems to have evolved from a natural interplay of the O2, CO2, and H2O reactions that creates a balance to prevent uncontrolled one way conversion of mass to energy, or vica versa.
For those that understand this, thoughts? Does artificial life have a purpose that would sustain it?
