2024.05.16 09:26 i_agree123 Among us based survivor perk rework and some new ones.
Well oiled machine: when healing another survivor press the active ability button to stop the nearest 3 generators regressing and become blocked from being kicked for 10/15/20 seconds. This perk goes on cooldown for 60 seconds.
Guardian angel: This perk has 1/3/5 points, after unhooking a survivor, use one of these points to give a survivor an extra health state for 5/10/15 seconds. If you are sacrificed or moried with at least 1 point left, a random survivor gains this extra health state.

2024.05.16 09:23 JConqistador Unified Necro Minions
There is a general consensus on main points of the uber-killer one shot kill blood golemancer (Army of the Dead, Shadowblight passive, Blood Golem), but not so much on a general build. There are a lot of variations out there by different content creators, I want to kind of discuss the pros and cons and gather my thoughts on how to shape a minion necro that can still kill uber bosses relatively quickly without hampering the ability to speedfarm gear or push pit levels.
I'm not going to get in to the nitty gritty details about exact paragon placement and such, but more a high level overview of different takes on the Minionmancer.
Sources
Considerations
Attack Speed According to the Mega Minion Guide, there are two buckets that can individually reach separate caps of 100%.
- The first bucket
- Cult Leader board will almost always provide 10%, as it's on the way to a key legendary node
- In contrast, the 5% on the Flesh Eater board is kind of out of the way and is likely not worth the 8-ish points required to unlock
- The 25% on Hulking Monstrosity board can replace a gear roll, but that ONLY applies to Golem attack speed so is only relevant if you're focused on stacking golem damage over mage damage. The golem attack speed nodes are also pretty far away from the glyph slot and legendary node.
- The rest (65 or 90%) must come from gear. Kalan's Edict key passive can effectively replace 2 gear rolls allowing us to focus masterworking stats on crit and int instead.
- The Second Bucket
- There is no reasonable way to reach 100% here
- Rapid and Rathma's Chosen aspects do not apply as minions don't have "basic attacks" and we're not casting overpowered blood skills
- Enhanced Reap can give 30%, though won't help with single target fights
- For Accelerating aspect Blight is the only Core skill we may be casting, but we won't be spamming it so it's probably not worth using it over other aspects for 10%
- Frenzied Dead aspect is going to be an auto-include as it's an extra 45% with almost no restriction
Cooldown Acceleration We have a few reliable ways of cheating out lower cooldowns
- Blood Orbs
- Requires sacrificing a ring slot for the Fastblood Aspect and a defensive slot for the Embalmer Aspect
- Not very many reliable ways to get Blood Orbs, need to run Blighted Corpse Tendrils and/or Hemorrhage basic skill alongside Embalmer
- Reaper Upgrade 1
- More consistent on bosses and doesn't require two aspects.
- We won't be able to rely on the other Skeletal Warrior paths to taunt or generate corpses
- Abhorrent Decrepify
- We don't really want to focus our stats on lucky hit, this can supplement but shouldn't be relied on
Corpse Generation When farming, corpses will be plentiful from random trash. When fighting bosses where are our corpses going to come from?
- Sever and Decompose basic skills both make corpses. Sever is slower (1 per 4s), but Decomposition (1 per 1s) requires channeling.
- Hulking Aspect spawns corpses on Golem attacks, good pick for a utility aspect
- Bone Golem Upgrade 1 makes 5 corpses on command, but this is a bit painful as many of the various golem upgrades have really good effects
- Army of the Dead is a long cooldown, but generates tons of corpses. Corpses will have to come from trash mobs between bosses. Taking this means losing Bonestorm.
- Reaper Upgrade 2 has pretty nice corpse generation, but would lose out on the lowered cooldowns from upgrade 1
Vulnerable Application - Decompose basic skill is a reliable way to make the target vulnerable though channeled skills are a pain to use. Would lose out on Sever's attack speed boost in non-boss situations.
- Bone Golem Upgrade 2 applies vulnerable and does pretty decent damage to boot
- Plagued Corpse Tendrils isn't a bad utility option on top of grouping mobs together, but it does have a lengthy cooldown and requires a corpse
- Cold Mage Upgrade 2 is essentially permanent vulnerable, but losing the shadow damage limits our other options severely.
- Bone Prison This is probably only reasonable for the uber-killer one shot variant. Need to pair with Plunging Darkness Aspect
Ultimate Skill - Army of the Dead
- Very spiky gameplay going through peaks and valleys of damage.
- This skill wants to stay unused until you reach a difficult encounter (especially a single target fight). Using this will then end that fight in moments
- More damage than Bonestorm
- Bonestorm
- Very reliable, best to use as often as possible
- More triggers for Shadowblight key passive when paired with Ultimate Shadow Aspect
- Much more defensive option compared to AotD (natural 15% DR and Shielding Storm Aspect can give barrier generation)
Key Passive - Kalan's Edict gives a good chunk of Attack Speed, but is only equivalent to 1-2 gear slots worth after masterworking
- Shadowblight does amazing damage paired with Blighted Aspect, but you need enough shadow damage sources to keep it rolling
Support Skills We have 2 skill slots left after Skeleton, Golem, Generator, and Ultimate. Maybe 3 if we decide to run without a generator.
- Blight (or Bone Prison+Plunging Darkness Aspect) This is almost an auto-include. It gives extra minion damage, plus is an excellent source of shadow damage ticks for Shadowblight.
- Decrepify is a pure survivability option. Very good at reducing incoming damage and is especially useful for pit pushing.
- Corpse Tendrils groups up mobs and can apply vulnerable or generate blood orbs, but this has a cooldown and will consume cooldown acceleration effects making your ultimate take longer to come up.
- (Blighted) Corpse Explosion is purely for more Shadowblight triggers
Book of the Dead - Warriors
- Both Reaper options are good. Taunting defenders are great for thorns builds. Skirmishers are bad.
- Mages
- Shadowblight is such a crucial part of the build that going anything other than one of the two shadow variants seems like the wrong choice. Upgrade 1 is great for Golem focused builds, Upgrade 2 is (slightly) better for mage focused builds. Cold Mages with Upgrade 2 is viable if not running Shadowblight
- Golem (needs more verification on different golem attack speeds)
- Bone Golem attacks quickly and does surprisingly good damage on top of taunting. Upgrade 2 seems to be the better option but an argument could be made for Upgrade 1 for builds lacking corpse generation and for fueling the Corpse-Eater legendary paragon node
- Blood Golem Upgrade 1 is a massive amount of DR, with how rare it is now might be worth it in high pit levels. Upgrade 2 is for silly numbers and stacking pure golem damage to the detriment of minions. He attacks slower than the Bone Golem so the difference is not as large as it may appear.
- Iron Golem Upgrade 1 may provide more damage than the Bone Golem, but loses the Vulnerability or Corpse generation utility.
2h vs 1h Minions
used to just take the weapon damage, so going big 2H scythe was the way to go. Now they also base their attack speed on the weapon speed so the DPS is equalized across all weapon types (
verification needed)
- 2H (Scythe) is great for double dipping damage from the most valuable Aspect (usually Blighted)
- 1H (Wand) allows for faster minion attacks, which means more triggers for things like Hulking Aspect and Iron Golem Upgrade 1 which trigger base off of attacks NOT lucky hit. Allows for an additional aspect. Also necro offhands come with an implicit Cooldown reduction which is nice to have.
Aspects - Offensive
- Required:
- Blighted - Shadowblight builds only, good option for the neck or 2H slot for the bonus 50%
- Frenzied Dead - Massive attack speed boost that does NOT compete with the attack speed cap from gear (verification needed)
- Reanimation - Huge damage boost, good option for the neck or 2H slot for the bonus 50%
- Ultimate Shadow - Bonestorm builds only
- Unyielding Commander's - Army of the Dead builds only
- Needleflare - Thorns builds only
- Situational:
- Plunging Darkness - Bone Prison tech choice only
- Conceited - Bonestorm builds only, also requires Shielding Storm aspect
- Inner Calm - An OK choice but nothing amazing, better with Decompose basic skill since you're standing still to channel anyway
- Defensive
- Required:
- Hardened Bones - DR is so rare, each point is precious
- Embalmer - Blood Orb builds only
- Situational:
- Shielding Storm - Bonestorm builds only
- Might - Decent pick if you have nothing better
- Utility
- Required:
- Blood Getter's - This is double dips back to your minions!
- Hulking Aspect - Decent way to get corpses and get your Golem skill off cooldown
- Occult Dominion - More minions! Put this on the neck if you don't put blighted or reanimation there.
- Situational:
- Aphotic - An OK source of Shadow damage for Shadowblight if lacking otherwise
- Mobility/Resource
- Required:
- Fastblood - Blood Orb builds only
- Situational:
Uniques? - Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul can be a nice quality of life for farming. It also makes it so you can "cast" corpse tendrils without ever putting it on cooldown, meaning it won't eat your cooldown acceleration effects.
- Blood Moon Breeches lets you get some juicy curse effects without taking up a spot on the skill bar, massive extra source of DR as well.
- Razorplate mandatory for thorns builds.
Conclusions
With all that said, where does that leave us with regards to a general minionmancer?
- Kalan's Edict seems underpowered compared to Shadowblight. Maybe early game before you have attack speed rolls on gear, but after that Shadowblight seems like a clear winner. That also means we should probably avoid variations with cold or bone mages.
- Reapers seem like the winner of the melee skeleton options. Upgrade 1 seems especially hard to pass up. Corpse generation can come from elsewhere.
- Golems feel very well balanced to me. Any selection seems reasonable, no golem provides an irreplaceable effect or stands head and shoulders above the others.
- There are an unusually large number of Utility aspects which we want. This makes me lean away from using Blood Orbs as a method for reducing cooldown as it's really hard to fit in the two required aspects.
- 2H builds feel better when paired with AotD style of gameplay as they're both focused on spikes of damage. This is might just be a me thing.
- Some sample variants: https://maxroll.gg/d4/planne8fokq02s#1

Filmmakers and production houses leverage these platforms to create buzz around their releases, engage with audiences, and stream content. Facebook Watch and Instagram TV (IGTV) are examples of social media features being used to distribute short films and promotional material. Challenges and Opportunities Piracy One of the significant challenges in the Indian film distribution landscape is piracy. Despite stringent laws, piracy remains rampant, affecting box office revenues and the overall profitability of films. The industry continues to explore technological and legal solutions to combat this issue. Regional Markets India's linguistic and cultural diversity presents both challenges and opportunities for film distribution. While Bollywood dominates, regional cinema (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, etc.) has significant followings. Distributors must navigate the complexities of regional markets, tailoring their strategies to cater to local tastes and preferences. Technological Advancements Technological advancements in streaming, high-definition video, and virtual reality (VR) offer new avenues for film distribution. Innovations such as 4K streaming and immersive VR experiences can enhance the viewing experience, attracting tech-savvy audiences. Distributors who adapt to these advancements can stay ahead in a competitive market. Conclusion The film distribution landscape in India is dynamic and multifaceted, encompassing traditional theaters, digital platforms, television, physical media, and emerging channels. Each distribution method has unique advantages and challenges, contributing to the overall ecosystem that brings films to audiences nationwide. As technology continues to evolve and consumer preferences shift, the film distribution industry must adapt to ensure that Indian cinema reaches its diverse and expansive audience. submitted by nichefilmfarm01 to u/nichefilmfarm01 [link] [comments] |
2024.05.16 09:00 Ziwaeg Where did the great Philosophers get their ideas from?
I am interested in philosophical concepts yet in all the philosophy debates I've witnessed, people always cite names of philosophers, which make me disinterested and excluded because I don't know all of them. My question is where did famous Western philosophers like Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, or Classical ones like Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, get their ideas from? To an outsider, I just see people relying on these "big names" to formulate all their opinions on general facets of life (that anyone can express in theory). Did these great Philosophers generate their own ideas or expand on the work of previous ones? What about the first Classical philosophers?
Why isn't philosophy individualistic? Why can't someone come up with their own opinion about life (concepts like consciousness, morality, truth), respectfully what is the purpose of constantly referencing these "great philosophers" to the point of worship? In history, which I understand more, there isn't an emphasis on "big names," you are free to formulate your own opinion without citing historians constantly, so long as you back it up with sources and data. I think this is unheard of in philosophy, especially for a no-name or student.

2024.05.16 08:58 dimitriospsaroudakis The Intersection of Mathematics and Real-World Applications: Perspectives from Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC
Mathematics has often been perceived as an abstract and theoretical discipline, one that deals with numbers, equations, and theorems far removed from the practical concerns of everyday life. However, this perception overlooks the profound impact that mathematics has on various real-world applications. Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis, an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, provides a unique perspective on how mathematics intersects with and enhances real-world applications. With his extensive research and academic contributions, Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC illustrates how mathematical concepts are integral to solving complex problems in diverse fields.
The Role of Mathematics in Understanding the Natural World
Mathematics is often described as the language of the universe. It provides a framework through which we can describe, analyze, and predict natural phenomena. Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC work at Aristotle University emphasizes the importance of mathematical models in understanding the natural world.
Mathematical Models in Physics and Engineering
In physics, mathematical models are crucial for describing the behavior of physical systems. For example, Newton's laws of motion, expressed through differential equations, allow us to predict the movement of objects under various forces. Similarly, Maxwell's equations describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. These equations are not just abstract constructs; they have practical applications in engineering, such as in the design of electrical circuits and communication systems.
Dr Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC highlights how advanced mathematical techniques, such as partial differential equations and numerical methods, are used to solve complex problems in engineering. These techniques enable engineers to design more efficient structures, optimize manufacturing processes, and develop new materials with specific properties. By providing a rigorous framework for analyzing physical systems, mathematics becomes an indispensable tool in engineering innovation.
Mathematical Biology and Medicine
Mathematics also plays a critical role in the life sciences. Dr Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC points out that mathematical biology uses models to understand biological processes and systems. For instance, differential equations are used to model the spread of infectious diseases, allowing public health officials to predict and control outbreaks. These models can incorporate various factors, such as transmission rates and recovery rates, to simulate different scenarios and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention strategies.
In medicine, mathematical models are used to analyze the dynamics of biological systems at various scales, from cellular processes to the functioning of entire organs. Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis research may include the development of models to understand the progression of diseases, optimize treatment protocols, and improve medical imaging techniques. These applications demonstrate how mathematics can lead to better healthcare outcomes by providing insights that are not easily obtainable through experimental methods alone.
Mathematics in Technology and Innovation
The rapid advancement of technology in recent decades has been driven by mathematical discoveries and innovations. Dr Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC emphasizes the importance of mathematics in the development of new technologies, from computer algorithms to artificial intelligence.
Algorithms and Computational Mathematics
At the heart of modern technology lies the algorithm – a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task. Algorithms are the backbone of computer science, enabling everything from basic computations to complex data analysis. Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis highlights how mathematical concepts, such as graph theory and combinatorics, are essential for designing efficient algorithms.
For instance, search engines like Google use sophisticated algorithms to index and retrieve information from the vast expanse of the internet. These algorithms rely on mathematical techniques such as linear algebra and probability theory to rank web pages based on their relevance to search queries. Similarly, cryptographic algorithms, which ensure the security of online communications and transactions, are based on number theory and abstract algebra.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming various industries, from healthcare to finance. Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC insights into the mathematical foundations of AI highlight the role of statistics, optimization, and linear algebra in developing intelligent systems. Machine learning algorithms, for example, use statistical methods to identify patterns in data and make predictions based on those patterns.
In the realm of AI, deep learning – a subset of machine learning – involves the use of neural networks to model complex relationships in data. These neural networks are trained using optimization techniques that minimize the error between the predicted and actual outputs. Dr Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC may explore how these mathematical principles are applied to develop AI systems capable of recognizing speech, translating languages, and even driving autonomous vehicles.
Economics and Finance: Quantitative Approaches
The fields of economics and finance have long relied on mathematical models to understand market behavior and inform decision-making. Dr Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC work illustrates how quantitative approaches can provide valuable insights into economic phenomena and financial systems.
Economic Modeling and Forecasting
Economic models use mathematical equations to represent the relationships between different economic variables, such as supply and demand, inflation, and unemployment. These models help economists understand how changes in one part of the economy can affect the whole system. For example, the Keynesian model, which uses differential equations to describe the dynamics of aggregate demand and supply, is used to analyze the effects of fiscal and monetary policy.
Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC emphasizes the importance of statistical methods in economic forecasting. Time series analysis, for instance, is used to analyze historical economic data and make predictions about future trends. These forecasts are crucial for policymakers and businesses as they make decisions about investments, production, and consumption.
Financial Mathematics and Risk Management
In finance, mathematical models are used to value financial derivatives, manage risk, and optimize investment portfolios. The Black-Scholes model, a partial differential equation used to price options, is one of the most famous examples of financial mathematics. This model allows traders to determine the fair price of an option based on factors such as the underlying asset's price, volatility, and time to expiration.
Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC expertise in mathematics can shed light on the development of more sophisticated models for managing financial risk. For example, stochastic calculus and Monte Carlo simulations are used to model the random behavior of asset prices and evaluate the risk of complex financial instruments. These mathematical techniques enable financial institutions to assess and mitigate risks, ensuring stability in the financial system.
Mathematics in Environmental Science and Sustainability
The pressing global challenges of environmental degradation and climate change require innovative solutions, many of which are rooted in mathematics. Dr Dimitrios Psaroudakis explores how mathematical models can be used to understand environmental systems and develop strategies for sustainability.
Climate Modeling and Predictive Analysis
Climate models are essential tools for understanding the Earth's climate system and predicting future climate changes. These models use differential equations to represent the interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC highlights how mathematics is used to simulate the complex processes that drive climate change, such as greenhouse gas emissions and ocean circulation.
Predictive analysis, which involves the use of statistical and computational methods to forecast future events, is also critical in climate science. For instance, statistical downscaling techniques are used to refine the predictions of global climate models to regional scales, providing more accurate information for local decision-making. These mathematical tools enable scientists to assess the potential impacts of climate change and inform policies for mitigation and adaptation.
Environmental Monitoring and Resource Management
Mathematics is also used in environmental monitoring and resource management. For example, mathematical models are used to analyze data from satellite observations, providing insights into deforestation, land use changes, and water quality. These models help scientists track environmental changes and assess the effectiveness of conservation efforts.
Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC may also explore how optimization techniques are used in resource management. For instance, linear programming is used to allocate limited resources, such as water and energy, in a way that maximizes efficiency and minimizes environmental impact. By applying mathematical principles to resource management, we can develop sustainable practices that balance economic development with environmental preservation.
Education and the Future of Mathematics
The intersection of mathematics and real-world applications underscores the importance of mathematics education. Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis work at Aristotle University reflects a commitment to preparing the next generation of mathematicians, scientists, and engineers to tackle the complex challenges of the future.
Innovative Teaching Methods
Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis GMC employs innovative teaching methods to engage students and enhance their understanding of mathematical concepts. These methods may include interactive lectures, collaborative projects, and the use of technology in the classroom. By creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment, Dr. Dimitrios Psaroudakis helps students develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to apply mathematics in various fields.

2024.05.16 08:58 Exotic-Anything-7371 I think god is calling me to the Episcopal church and it’s lighting my soul on fire
I’m someone who has had a very, very rough life. I came from a very abusive family. One way I was abused is my mother twisted Catholicism to blame me for the abuse to torture me psychologically. This led me to become an atheist at 14. I went no contact with my family last year after my mother made me homeless for being transgender and not Catholic.
I’m 21 now. I have been an atheist until yesterday. I struggled horrifically with drugs and alcohol. However, I believe in God now as I realized I did not get sober on my own. I’ve been having so many personal revelations and my life has been glowing up ever since I decided to follow the path of whatever is out there and became sober. It’s because there’s been a god there the entire time. I never thought I would become sober (let alone at 21). Me living the 12 steps of AA and Al-anon has allowed me to heal from my generational trauma in my family and forgive my family. It was after I forgave my family that God reveled himself to me.
I’m very smart. My IQ is 130, my emotional intelligence score is 95 out of 100, and I go to a division I research college. I’ve been through some of the worst crimes against humanity. But, I sprang up, survived, and I have found a way to become a clinical psychologist. I believe it is the will of God for me to help the world in this way. I believe I am a chosen person of God as I’m, naturally in so many situations, helping someone (whatever that looks like) all day every day recently.
However, I’m not sure if Jesus and the Holy Spirit exist. My mother lied to me about so much about them. However, I told a woman who works in the dorm I live in that I believe in God now. With no other context, she said she would get me a Bible and to read Psalms: 27 in the mean time.
The entire psalm explains my life right now. And it fills me with so much power. I quickly emailed an Episcopal church in my area and asked to join their choir without a second thought. I went to an Episcopalian church a few times when I joined AA two years ago, but I wasn’t ready to explore this at that time. I chose that church as it has most of the Catholic traditions I like and they were extremely accepting of the fact I’m a transgender male. I’m going to one of their church services on Sunday morning and calling a devout Christian friend to talk through Psalms: 27 as she’s done a lot of Bible study. Finally, as another sign, this guy at my AA club told me he is an atheist and handed me a chip “As a joke.” It was a metal chip with the Ten Commandments printed on it.
I’m going on a spiritual journey of a life time. I never thought I’d get to this point, but I need to truly explore this more. Whatever the truth is, God will guide me there if I’m ready for it. And, I’m finally ready.

2024.05.16 08:49 SnooObjections9350 Is it bad to be selfish when wanting children?
I’m currently 34 (F) with a 35 (M) partner, recently married very quickly. We both thought we married quickly because we were confident in ourselves. Fast forward 2 years and marriage has brought a nice stability, but also questions of change (both personally and for the relationship).
I’ve always been maternal and desired a stable family, for various reasons that change constantly. He has always been a lone wolf, and to a certain extent, pretty selfish.
Now that we’re together, there’s a lot of questions about children, mostly the why. Will this make us a stronger unit? Will this give us purpose? Will I be a good parent (with you)? What’s the point?
For me, I’ve always wanted to selfishly give my child what I didn’t have, in the most positive sense. I know that’s narcissistic, but isn’t that mindset a good thing? Our generation trying to make a more positive impact than our previous?
What I’m asking for is insight, guidance or direction. Is it ok to have a child with no plan and out of love/idealism?

2024.05.16 08:37 alvisanovari Leveraging Customer Review Analysis for SaaS Success
Hey Everyone,
I've been diving into customer review analysis and wanted to share some insights on how this can boost our products. Whether you're looking to improve your own SaaS offering or find competitor weaknesses, analyzing customer feedback is key.
Why Customer Review Analysis Matters
Customer reviews offer honest feedback straight from users. By analyzing these reviews, you can:
- Spot Areas for Improvement: Pinpoint recurring issues and areas where users aren't happy.
- Boost Customer Support: Understand common pain points to better train your support team.
- Tweak Marketing Strategies: Highlight the features users love the most.
- Drive Product Development: Focus on features that users actually want.
How to Use Customer Review Analysis
- Monitor Your Own Product: Track reviews on platforms like Trustpilot, Google, and G2. Look for trends and address common issues.
- Check Out Competitors: Analyze competitors' reviews to see their strengths and weaknesses. If users complain about poor support on a competitor’s product, make sure to emphasize your stellar support.
- Set Up Alerts: Use tools to set up alerts for specific keywords or ratings. This helps you react quickly to potential problems.
- Create Reports: Summarize key insights from reviews to guide your team's strategy.
Example: Monitoring HubSpot Reviews
I recently checked out HubSpot's reviews on Trustpilot. With an overall rating of 2.6, many users mentioned issues like unexpected charges and poor customer support. Some positives included features and customization options, but these were often overshadowed by negatives.
I wrote about how I did this analysis in detail
here.
By analyzing these reviews, you can: -
Find Opportunities: Offer similar features with better support. -
Avoid Pitfalls: Steer clear of things like inflexible contracts and unexpected charges.
Conclusion
Customer review analysis is a powerful tool for any SaaS business. It helps you stay in tune with what users need and gives you insights into the competition. Regularly doing this can lead to continuous improvement and a better market position.
I've been using
Snoop Hawk to automate this process. It tracks reviews, sets up alerts, and generates detailed reports, making the whole thing a lot easier.
Have any of you used customer reviews to shape your product strategy? I'd love to hear your experiences and tips!

2024.05.16 08:29 TheTruthTalker800 I think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Also Have a Notable Cult of Personality Among White College Educated Men & Women in the United States Today
Reasoning and proof to back up this claim, as I'm sure everyone with an IQ 100 or greater is by now well aware Donald Trump & co have
THE cult of personality among resentment of poorly to not well educated voters of all stripes, but particularly a majority white voters in the US.
However, I would at this point very much argue that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris also have one to a lesser extent, it turns out...and here's how.
President Biden and VP Harris had about 40% of white voter support in the 2020 election- they still have about that much now 4 years later in 2024 believe it or not, but after a disastrous by any objective metric 4 year term, and have not lost or gained any support in this time with said bloc-- it is overwhelmingly concentrated among well educated voters in the Caucasian bloc, especially women, as trivia.
References: Nate Cohn, NYT Polls--
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/05/upshot/polls-biden-trump-2024.html "The survey finds that Mr. Biden enters his campaign as a badly weakened candidate, one running without the strengths on personal likability, temperament and character that were essential to his narrow victories in all six of these states in 2020. Long-festering vulnerabilities on his age, economic stewardship, and appeal to young, Black and Hispanic voters have grown severe enough to imperil his re-election chances. On question after question, the public’s view of the president has plummeted over the course of his time in office. The deterioration in Mr. Biden’s standing is broad, spanning virtually every demographic group, yet it yields an especially deep blow to his electoral support among young, Black and Hispanic voters, with Mr. Trump obtaining previously unimaginable levels of support with them."
Biden Has Particularly Lost Favor With Young, Nonwhite Voters
Whom they say they voted for in 2020 | Whom they support now |
Nonwhite, under 45 | Biden +39 68-29 |
Nonwhite, over 45 | Biden +47 73-26 |
White, under 45 | Biden +5 50-45 |
White, over 45 | Trump +16 57-41 |
(Based on New York Times/Siena College polls of 3,662 registered voters conducted Oct. 22 to Nov. 3 in six battleground states. The 2020 vote is based on how respondents say they voted in 2020, though margins are similar to The Times's estimates of the results. Numbers are rounded.)
"In contrast, Mr. Biden has retained the entirety of his support among older white voters, helping him stay relatively competitive in the older and predominantly white Northern battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, even as Mr. Trump builds a more comfortable lead in the more diverse Sun Belt states. There’s no reason to assume that next November’s final election tallies will match the results of these surveys. But if they did, it could represent an epochal shift in American politics, one with the potential to reverberate for decades as young and nonwhite voters make up a growing share of the electorate. Many familiar patterns in American politics would be blurred. Racial and generational polarization would fade. It would be the culmination of a decade-long realignment of the electorate along the lines of Mr. Trump’s conservative populism, all while dashing Democratic hopes of assembling a progressive majority around a new generation of young and nonwhite voters."
Second source:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/upshot/biden-trump-black-hispanic-voters.html Nonwhite voters White voters at the bottom "Mr. Biden’s tepid support among these voters appears to be mostly responsible for the close race
in early national surveys, which show Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump all but tied among registered voters even as Mr. Biden runs as well among white voters as he did four years ago."
Third source:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-15/biden-risks-losing-significant-share-of-black-vote-king-says** "**President Joe Biden risks losing a significant share of Black votes in his rematch with Donald Trump unless his campaign improves his outreach strategy, said the daughter of slain civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. 'There are people in the Black community who are feeling like not a lot has changed,' Bernice King said Wednesday in a Bloomberg TV interview."
Fourth source: Axios, Polls--
https://www.axios.com/2023/11/06/biden-black-hispanic-voters-losing-polls Overall point/conclusion: Joe and Kamala haven't moved with being favored by 40% of white voters and it's chiefly coming from them having >50% approval among well educated white women with postgraduate or higher degrees, despite falling consistently with their own core base in margins in Black, Hispanic, Asian, and young white voters consistently like with the country from 2020 to 2024. This all essentially indicates a cult of personality is concentrated to me chiefly around the former demographic, because Biden's standing has deteriorated among everyone but this bloc by this point, and for several reasons imo (I'll elaborate on that in another reply to those curious).

Alternativ eröffnet auch der ‘
Sky Garden’ mit Afterwork Drinks und einem super Blick über die Stadt!
Neben den vielfältigen und exklusiven Sonderangeboten der ansässigen Fachgeschäfte und den Privaten Ausstellern, werden vor allem Künstler mit besonderen Einzelstücken das Herz aller Sammler und Kunstliebhabern höher schlagen lassen.
Ab Donnerstag beginnt das Internationale Documentary Film Festival in Wien! Die Säle des Votiv und De France Kinos werden wieder zum Zentrum der dokumentarischen Filmkunst und des ethnographischen Filmschaffens.
Vielleicht gut geeignet für den verregneten Freitag? 🌧️
Eine Mischung aus Kultur und street food festival mit Fokus auf asiatische und österreichische Kultur und Küche. Klingt irgendwie ein bisschen verrückt, aber vielleicht lustig? Kann man auf jeden Fall gut mit einem Ausflug auf die Insel verbinden!
Am Sonntag gib es im Prater einen recht coolen Open Air rave von ‘Du Tanzt Mich Mal’. Am Mainfloor gibt es House, Minimal und Acid und am Rooftop Floor downtempo.
Achja, alternativ kann man auch direkt am Kobenzl Raven bei ‘

🤌 Laurin’s Picks
This week a couple of extra events as the Monday is a public holiday! 🙂 Let’s get to it 🚀
This Thursday there will be another free concert at Superbude in the second district. This time there will be a concert of James Choice, you can listen to the music
here. I will most likely be there, so say hello if you are also there! 🙂
Alternatively, this weekend the ‘
Sky Garden’ is officially kicking off the season so if you want a nice after work drink with an amazing view, this is the place to be!
Next to special offers from all the local shops, there will be a variety of artists displaying their art right in the second district! Great if you enjoy browsing through some unique art!
This Friday there will be the kick-off of the international film festival in Vienna. There will be various documentaries shown in both the Votiv as well as the De France cinema.
Maybe perfect for a rainy Friday? 🌦️
Potentially a strange mixture of different cultures, food and traditions. At the same time could be pretty cool and refreshing to combine all of this into one street food festival!
Either way, it’s happening on the Donauinsel, so if the weather is nice, you can definitely enjoy this as a small trip! 🙂
This Sunday there are a couple of nice raves! First up, at Prater with ‘Du Tanzt Mich Mal’. They will play a mixture of house, minimal, acid and downtempo.
Alternatively, you can also check out the party happening at the Kobenzl, which will provide you with probably the best view over Vienna you can get. The party there is ‘
Kein Sonntag ohne Techno’.

2024.05.16 08:06 ZeroPB Do you feel dumb like me ? Need advice
Me and my brother are in our 40s. We are both smart men. But we feel like we were failed and I feel dumb.
We were sitting talking about how aware we are almost in mid-life about finances, career, and education. How our influential friends, family and teachers of the past shaped us. We both agreed and complained a bit about how one family who is prestigious they teach their kids about importance of finances, college and being someone who has an amazing career. Sends there kid off to college and so on.
Then there is us. Spent too much time on the wrong things growing up and bunch of unnecessary stuff between friends who are no longer around. Goofing off. How our parents didn't prepare us about saving money, debts or how choosing the right career was important. Our parents had this mentality of "they will figure it out" with no guidance. I'm a genx a true latch key adult. Same as my brother.
I pointed out how old our parents educational understanding are, they learned education from educators, in a world that had the knowledge which was already several decades old. So our parents were limited as well. Which was passed on to them. Which in turn, They passed that several years to my generation. The point is you see how outdated that education is!? It's failure.
So with all of this now awareness of the way the money, debts, and prestigious education works. What I know now. I should of known a long time ago!
I feel dumb. Even with my college education I obtained late. I feel bad for my older brother he has it worse. My teachers, mentors parents were ignorant themselves. Why didn't anyone show us or care to. But no we will figure it out mentality works for everyone. I have no retirement. It's like f*** now what!?
Just thinking about the fault or big screw of it all. Makes me feel dumb ass hell!

2024.05.16 08:05 johnlime3301 Regarding AI Grad Student and Art-Related Fields
| As someone that did spend most of my education on implementation of deep reinforcement learning, I used to think that the biggest issues of the video are that the engineers in this video failed to produce good results for the animation and that the marketing for the audience was horrible,especially with the outlandish claim that this is made to replace animators with machines. After the huge backlash on machine learning in the recent years, I am beginning to understand that there is something inherently corrupt about incorporating AI into art, regardless of whether the training process utelizes preexisting data, which deep reinforcement learning doesn't. While reinforcement learning is a lot closer to locomotion from the perspective of biology and physics, the point of animation is to do all of the work from scratch, observing every keyframe and adjusting them manually. My passion, which was to someday mimic a really vague understanding of animal behavior in the form of games or pseudo documentaries, will probably be compromised, if it wasn't already. The bright side is that I now know the feeling in which most people in my generation get lost after college and end up going into careers outside of their interests. I was trying to avoid this situation, but unfortunately I was delving deeper into the territory of moral corruption. submitted by johnlime3301 to gamedev [link] [comments] |
2024.05.16 07:57 ronakkapadiya I(24M) tried asking girls to date, over the period of a year. I put effort, trust, loyalty, honesty, healthy-conversation on table and for gods sake no one has ever said yes to date or any further. Like whats wrong with girls? To context yeah i do look good. Its about the topics i bring not look.
○Some said they want to explore more, meet new persons. ○Some talks with me for few days then tell me they wanna just be frieds or they are interested in someone else(after talking for days with me. ○Some are not ready for relationship(i can wait but they deny) ○Some are already committed.( its genuine, no offense)
So with this , 20+ girls i asked till today(in 1 year) and (one at a time, yeah I'm loyal to one I'm about to talk) noone has ever said yes to date or to hangout.
Sometimes Its not that i directly ask date, i also bring a point that we can start with friendship but i clear intention regarding dating. Then if she only want to be friends and friendzoned me, then I'm not that guy. And i simply walk out. No scope for that.
May be i havent met the person who understands this or the generation is unable to understand what values i bring to the table.

2024.05.16 07:54 WeirdPen8303 2AM Cannabis DD
Why Cannabis Has The Best "Meme Stock"
Hello fellow regards, its 1:50 AM im high, and im ready to give my first brief DD ever into the cannabis sector. I've been studying the cannabis sector since November, and i would like to give a brief DD on my thoughts. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL, JUST A DUDE WHOS TIRED AND REALLY LIKES WEED. This saying I might be wrong on some points and this is only my opinion at 2AM. I might try to do another post after more research with everyone's help. if you have any opinions or find any information please leave a comment and lets get high together.
2019-2021: We already know the sector has tanked since 2021 and Canada's announcement into the industry. As some like INCR might have lost momentum from terrorist attacks in Isreal, others like SNDL had a "meme" approach into the U.S Cannabis Debt (SunSteam I believe its called). The important thing is companies overproduced, lost their competitive advantages, and had horrible timing. Whatever the various reasons are, almost the entire sector has taken a hit. Now when you bring up investing to the company, everyone will say "its to risky and has no moat" and yes this is true...or is it?
2023-2024: As vaporizers have had a dominating approach into the market, cannabis "carts" are exposing the younger generations to an easier, "odorless", and convenient way to expose themselves to THC. Think as them as a gateway into the industry, and just like a Juul it exposes new audiences into the market and could create long term relationships. Not only has cannabis found new ways to be innovative, but the industry has seen an unreal amount of new consumers the past decade. And this will only keep growing as we keep removing world wide restrictions overtime like Germany.
Past 6 Months: A new wave of young investors are ready to begin their journeys, now that trading is easier then ever. More then likely they're going to consider cheap stocks as they get high *cough cannabis*. Now im being bias, but coming from this generation shit feels high and im broke. Why would I invest $10 into META right now compared to SNDL? Theirs no doubt the sector has been seeing some of its most profit in years, And as the FDA rescheduling comes into play more then likely by this summer, its only a matter of time until the sector moons.
The Future: Im not a physic but I do have some judgements and opinions about the future of the cannabis sector. Firstly, long or short term many etfs like MSOS or YOLO look incredibly great right now. It'd be safer to play ETF's in the sector for long term investments. This is because of the incredibly small amount of tradable stocks in the sector. Few if any cannabis stocks are American companies, with the majority being Canadian or in the EU. With the amount of competition in the sector, there is a possibility we could see more American cannabis stocks listed on the NASDAQ exchange. Competition is already a killing factor within the industry, a flood of American ipo's could cause more viability in the market, and potential damage or benefit certain stocks.
Final Thoughts: With all this said, I completely understand the fear and hesitance people get when considering investing into the sector. There are many many risky factors, past issues, and future threats. But do NOT let that discourage you from investing just $5 long term. The sector is comparably undervalued compared to how overvalued CGC and Aurora was in 2021. For short term people are anticipating for the FDA reschedule, this would seriously open many doors and more profitable opportunities for the sector. Now the competition needs to be controlled for federal distribution and other meanings. The sector will only gain more popularity overtime=more profit.
Best ETF's: MSOS, CNBS, YOLO, TOKE
Safest As of Rn: GTLS, MSOS, SNDL,
My Favorite: SNDL. MSOS, CGC, CRON, TLRY
Eyeball: ACB, INCR (reddit wont let me post the others to prevent "pump and dumps" but look into hair testing, Colorado, and more stocks east)
Cannabis Is The Best Meme Sector, That Will Make Our Fellow Stoner Regards Even Higher :)

2024.05.16 07:52 asymmetricalbaddie Frozen is a story of monarchy
I’m a huge fan of Frozen and have been for years. Recently while watching the crown it occurred to me that Elsa and Queen Elizabeth are similar. In one episode, QE injects medicine in her face so she can smile more.
Obviously we don’t know what time period Elsa is in so depending on their level of advancement and media availability / exposure people might not be as tuned in to the monarchy. Regardless, the theme of image as everything is strikingly similar between modern monarchy and Frozen.
This might sound silly but I’ll point to the most obvious: Elsa’s “conceal don’t feel” mantra. Conceal is the key word. Elsa’s powers threaten her family’s power and status. As the crown princess it is especially a concern.
There’s no way Buckingham Palace could board up their doors for years nowadays, but I read Frozen is set in 1843. At this time many countries still had monarchies and things were only just starting to change on a global scale.
Elsa’s later arch, where she decides to “let it go” and embrace her powers is interesting in this light. Obviously, Elsa was embraced by her people immediately but it’s a Disney movie. I’m glad they added some more realistic / political world building in Frozen 2. While I get it’s just a Disney princess movie, the first one has so many moving parts. I’m not a huge fan of where they took it and I hope they can make everything make more sense in Frozen 3 since they’re insistent on making it a franchise.
I think ultimately Elsa’s story of being forced to suppress a huge part of who she is so that her family can maintain political power is an extremely human depiction of what it takes to have political power like that which is generations of child abuse. Look at Henry the 8th and Queen Elizabeth I for another great example. I hope we get some of this in the franchise at some point, Elsa realizing that her parents could have been better to her if they prioritized actually parenting their kids instead of using their kids for dynasty building…

2024.05.16 07:38 Mountain_Counter929 Making Aliens based off every pokemon type combination (Fighting)
Fighting/Normal:
OHKO (One Punch Man but instead of one effortless punch it’s a touch of death combo he has to )
Species: Mugen
Planet: Sonof
Appearance
- Humanoid blank white body
- Thick Smooth/Blocky appearance (like made of pillows)
- Headband and Gi are common wares
Powers and Abilities
- Enhanced Strength
- Unlimited Stamina
- Extremely High Pain Tolerance
- Semi-Mechanical Nature does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe
- Slight combat prowess
- Slightly stuns the opponent on contact with physical force (specifically after a physical hit. Applies to non living beings as well)
- Once an attack lands, it’ll receive enough energy to continue physically attacking it in a never-ending combo. Dealing blows significantly faster, gaining strength with each hit and eventually able to deal noticeable damage to almost any target with each hit.
Weaknesses/Drawback
- Slow movement
- Limited Fighting Capabilities
- Attacks are usually short
- Can extend reach but takes notable time so it needs to make an effort to land combo
- Combo can be interrupted, loses momentum and needs to land another hit when it does.
Species/Planet Fact: The Mugen started as semi-organic creations by a long dead civilization who sought to try experiments designing different types of warriors. Eventually the planet will be inhabited by foreign researchers. These researchers have been working on enhancing them with various effects to increase their capabilities, and give them more movement and combat options. But during testing it was discovered that watching the Mugen fight with or without enhancements is incredibly entertaining resulting and a strong source of combat study. This discovery redirected their experiments being used for sports instead of warfare even preventing what would’ve been an interplanetary war by turning it into a competitive sport, exploding the planet in popularity. During this explosion there was the discovery of a single fight between two Mugen that have went on for centuries before the first immigration and has been fiercely protected from interruptions since its discovery.
Fighting/Grass:
Doungwun Nemetrix predator of the Chunwin (See Kung book in Grass Types)
Appearance
- Green Body
- Mantis like Body
- 2 Pairs of claws with sharp fanged ends, each with a long membrane hanging off of them.
- Multiple pair of locust-like wings under where abdomen should be.
- Reptilian head
- Pupilless Eyes
Hunting Method
- Flight
- High reflexes
- Claws able to capture and break of Chunwin limbs, and attach to body of prey.
- Membranes absorb attack from Chunwin
- Long retractible tongue able to launch with precision and strength, able to pierce the body and grasp onto vital organs.
Planet/Species Fact: Despite the Doungwun seemingly biologically engineered to beat Cunwin on one to one combat, countering their various techniques. They rather take less ‘honorable’ tactics whenever possible. In populated areas they’d quickly overwhelm their prey with high numbers and quickly attack before the Chunwin gets a chance to swing. If there are aren’t any others nearby it’ll try to ambush its prey from hard to reach angles in the air. Only when it’s alone and has caught the attention of its prey, will it attach itself and engage its prey in close range combat. Most Chunwin societies simply use traps, or other tools to protect themselves from these predators. But a predator that chooses to engage in a one on one duel is more respected and results in a more respected death (for either one). So some Chunwin warriors leave themselves open to solo Doungwun attacks as some form of test.
Fighting/Fire:
Racaln the Nemetrix predator of the Clabestro (See Firing Squad in Fire types)
Appearance
- Large translucent viscous puddle with various organs inside, including left overs from prey

Hunting Method
- Raises body with jaw to consume prey on its body
- Full sensory of targets on its liquid body
- Viscous body can regenerate (and even split into multiple organisms)
- Prey stable on body is inflicted with Hallucinogenic and Auditory illusions, to make them unable to see and hear others allowing the Racaln to strike admit this confusion
- Also able to block telepathic and electronic communication
- Able to use the natural weapons of digested prey (ie the guns of the Clabestro)
Planet/Species Fact: Racaln only prey on the Clabestro when they’re split up and small. They don’t do any harm when they’re merged on one bigger body. But since most Clabestro combat (which happens very often) has them in their small split up forms. This makes it common for Racalns to be collected from the wild or bred in captivity to be utilized as excellent traps, and denying area. This practice would also be used as a mark to safeguard places from violence, to prevent Clabestro from splitting to engage in combat. This practice has spread to official gatherings like courts and diplomatic meetings.
Fighting/Water:
Ultimate Slush (See Original in Water Types)
Appearance
- Dark Green Body
- Loses gourd

Fighting/Elctric:
Ultimate Fightning Rod (See Web Work in Electric Types)

- When visible, can absorb all kinds of energy
- Able to unleash a large burst of both sound and light with absorbed energy
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
- Unable to extend body parts
- Can only deal damage in large bursts of energy
- Is no longer invincible when exposed a large energy influx in a prolonged duration
Fighting/Flying:
Ultimate Fight and Flight (See original in Flying Types)
Appearance
- Black/Brown coloring scheme
- Face is more crow like
- Tails are longer
- Hawk-like eyes and wings
- Larger body
Powers/Ability
- Stronger
- Faster
- Enhanced Senses
- Hypnotic Stare
- Invokes Intimidation into targets provoking them into either fighting or running
- When staring at foes, they’re able to read gains seconds precognition into multiple visions whether they fight or fly and combinations of timelines when they do both. Visions show what they would do, but is able to be altered with the newfound knowledge in real time.
- Precognition can predict unknown interferences like hidden dangers
- Heightened intelligence and brain processing speed to plan out effective strategy to hunt or combat their attempts
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
- Unable to split self into two forms
- Using hypnotic stare on multiple targets can overwhelm self

Fighting/Ice:
Giengar Nemetrix predator of the Ashe (See Burrzerker in Ice Types)
Appearance
- Skeletally thin limbs
- Very lanky frame (usually hunched over)
- Large Wooly body
- Long clawed fingers
- Sharp Teeth
Hunting Method
- Immunity to cold
- Silent movement
- Inflicts hallucinations on target nearby especially Ashe
- Inflicts shadowy hallucination of a competitive animal (usually the same as the affected prey) causing the target to continuously attack hallucination.
- Target eventually tires out attacking hallucination, losing adrenaline and succumbing to hypothermia or exhaustion.
Planet/Species Fact: Giengar are omnivores. In cold seasons they eat large predators with their primarily skill of inducing hallucinations that tire out its target before having its body frozen over for it to consume with its teeth designed to crush frozen objects. They gain this power by consuming mushrooms from warmer, jungle biomes that contain spores which has a similar effect to targets that breathe them in (though less concentrated and ends with less fatalities). Giengars are immune to these spores so during the warmer seasons they migrate to the jungle to consume high amounts of these mushrooms to expel their spores in large concentrations during hunting season. Normal Ashe that occupy these jungles stay away from the dangerous arctic biomes the Giengars hunt in, so to them the Giengar are seen as harmless. Since even if the Giengars try to use the spores against them, the conditions aren’t lethal and the lack of the Ashe’s adrenaline won’t inhibit their ability to recognize their condition and react accordingly instead of wasting their energy fighting.
Fighting/Ground:
Ultimate Mudripper (See Original in Ground Types)
Appearance
- Diamond Skin
- Loses eyes
- Elongated Snout
- Six pairs of short legs

- Can’t Swim
Fighting/Rock:
Ovivine Nemetrix predator of the Sabter (See Mountain Goat in Fighting Types)
Appearance
- Sheep-based body
- Green Wool
- Flowers growing on body
Hunting Method
- Wool is able to absorb strong impacts
- Vine-like tendrils on side of body able to connect to cliffsides
- Able to camouflage selves into a grass pile
- Grows a disconnected field perpendicular to the cliffside making it look its prey is on the ground
- Field camouflaged to be unable to be seen from below
- Able to communicate with Sabter to trick it on standing on the field, of the cliff before falling to their deaths.
Planet/Species Fact: While Ovivine can talk and mimic sentient emotions its only purpose is to gain the trust of prey as a mere predatory mechanism, their brains aren’t capable of deeper introspective thought or sentience when alone. Sabter are worn of the Ovivine though largely they are seen as myth with how very few sightings they are and how little the Ovivine are actually active due to their slow metabolism. Ovivines cover their prey on the floor and slowly consume it whilst morphing its body to appear as a mere lump of ground covered in grass, which is another factor into how little they’re seen. Occasionally they encounter some Sabter who are very much aware of them, and their tricks so in those cases they simply push them off the cliff side. Though this method relies on the element of surprise since their physical strength is much weaker than the average Sayter.
Fighting/Bug:
Ultimate Float Stinger (See Original in Bug Types)
Appearance
- Slightly bigger body
- Longer wasp like structure
- New Vertical striped black and white body
Powers/Ability
- Able to summon a near indestructible hive shaped structure
- This pocket dimension draws in 2 individuals (which can include the creator) into an arena pocket dimension.
- Telepathic communication with all individuals in pocket dimensions
- Individuals in the pocket dimension must follow certain reality altering conditions to set a “fair fight”
- This usually includes removal of “powers” but can also vary to have no removal or even the addition of powers
- Fight doesn’t have to be direct combat and more of a much as a sport
- Individual size are usually scaled to be relatively similar
- Individuals leaves once one or both is considered ‘defeated’ or by the creator’s permission
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
- Rules set in arena must be made to be fair for both individuals

- Slightly slower and weaker outside of hives
- Reality altering rules only affect targets inside a hive
Fighting/Psychic:
Muscle Memory (Alien Taskmaster)
Species: Reffox
Planet: Arbeitar

Weaknesses
- Can only memorize and mimic movements not powers
- Can only enhance strength and speed in short bursts
- May be at risks for learning ineffective techniques
Planet/Species Fact: Due to the fact that all Reffox are all physically the same and that any unique skill that are developed is quickly assimilated by one another. Reffox populations share a yearning for a sense of identity. So many Reffox head off to other cultures/planets to use their learned skills to be able to make an identity of themselves, whether it be an athlete a performer, a warrior, a hero, or in some cases a criminal or ruler. This feeling is felt through all Reffox and when two of them meet, they silently agree to not show their skills to each other to keep their identity. Though if they do want to share they return to Arbeitar to tell their stories or inspire new skills for the next generation who would tell their story.
Fighting/Poison:
Biolence (Fist of the North Star Powered by drugs, and can weaponize their own explosions )
Species: Gomane Planet: Omawoshindyu

- Able to control cyst development early
- Cysts become more powerful with more hazardous substances given
- Able to transfer poisonous cyst development onto others from force of contact, usually other species skin is not built to handle the expulsion causing damage when they pop
Weaknesses
- When exposed to hazard substances, the Cysts become faster developed and harder to control possibly hindering the body
- Loses strength build after cyst has popped
- Mind can be altered to be more violent depending on hazardous substances consumed, commonly manifests in an addiction or violent temperament (usually removed when expelled)
Planet/Species Fact: Eons ago a large vapor of toxic alien pollutants was mysterious dropped on Omawoshindyu mutating all inhabitants and killing off massive amounts of life, however life stiff have adapted and eventually evolved resulting in the modern Gomanes. By the time their own society has formed, the pollutants have been absorbed into the earth or dissipated from the atmosphere allowing fertile greener life to grow. Ironically most of Gomane society promotes healthy activity like proper diet in exercise, for it allows them to control their cyst development more effectively even when there sped up, which they use in hunting and combat sports. However crime activity is still noticeable involving addiction, violence, and gang activity. Mostly originating in highly polluted/deserted wastelands. As various poisons are being produced and mines
Fighting/Ghost:
Body-structor (Havik from MK1 with hints of Water Law from One Piece)
Species: Rankensain

- Able to detach own limbs/body parts and effectively control them when attached.
- Able to grow a detached body part on the detached body
- Able to detach others limbs/body parts of target on contact
- Able to attach body parts detached this way to self
- Body parts detached this way can still be controlled and are controlled by the head/brain they are attached to (all head/brain are in control of themselves). If their original head/brain is detached they can still be controlled by that head/brain unless it’s on attached to another of the same body part in which case they can’t move.
- With the exception of Rankensains who can control their own body parts even while their heads are on a different body.
- Different body parts can be reattached to other bodies detached this way, even in places the body parts don’t go
- Specifically in the Omnitrix after retransformation original rankensain body parts will dematerialize and all new attached body parts from detached bodies will fall off.
Weaknesses:
- Slightly slow
- Detachment requires strong force of contact
- Targets dispatched bodies can reattach their own parts, and can’t take them off again when put back into place (Can only be detached again by a Rankensain)
- Body parts attached to wrong part of body can be dispatched by anything even by accident
- Targets can disconnect different a body part that wasn’t originally there’s
- After regrowing a body part that was already attached, the original detached body part will lose its structure and melt
- Will die if all body parts are destroyed too fast
- Only their own body parts can detach other limbs
Planet/Species Fact: Body parts are the Rankensains main currency. While most body parts are gathered from hunted animals on their world. Rankenstains have developed interplanetary transportation to gather valuable alien body parts. Often by nefarious methods like warfare, grave robbing, or even homicide, making them a disdained and feared species across multiple planets. There are labs made to create clones of existing limbs to replace active hunting to remove the need for travel, but with how often exploration is used and how slow the cloning process is, Rankensains still commonly hunt aliens for their limbs as part of a darker slightly underground culture. To get around their negative reputation, Rankensains would remove their own brains and implant them into other bodies to disguise themselves.
Fighting/Dragon:
Medisnake (Combat Snake with Street Fighter Chi abilities)
Species: Ansatryu
Planet: Chakrenin
Appearance:
- Long Reptilian Body built similarly to a Skink

- Able to access pressure points that puts allies in a similar state
- Natural chi-like energy and mastery
- Energy skills normally manifest as enhanced athletic skills and energy projection at a basic level
- Energy can be personalized into a different element or even power
Weaknesses
- Personalization initially requires a level of training that the Omnitrix transformation doesn’t initially give.
Planet/Species Fact: Initially Ansartyu were seen as pets of another more human-like species called the Shotogun and as intelligent as their owners. However, eventually the Shotogun would discover their ability to tap into their own personal well of the same chi-like energy and start practicing it for various means. However back then only a handful of masters would be able use it, and only at a very basic level. Until one Shotogun prince discovered that his treasured Ansatryu was able to tap into and unlock further levels of mastery. With this knowledge the prince learned from his Ansatryu and developed a closer bond with it, even teaching his pet higher levels of intelligence as he was taught further mastery of chi. Later he would teach others how to learn from their Ansatryu and his own Ansatryu will give intelligence to others of his species, leading to the point where Ansatryu are now partners living in the same world as the Shotogun in relative harmony.

- Weapon projectiles can only stay out a minute before dissipation
- Weapons take time and varying degrees of focus to charge before launch which increases with duration of animation
- Shooting out a large powerful weapon increases load time, and can’t shoot more weapons while the giant weapon is out
Species/Planet Fact: Arthmo is an artificial species created from a combination of alchemy and engineering by a master at both, commissioned by a great king. They were meant to be used as weapons of warfare and even companions. However an enemy army raided the kingdom, and killed both the lord and creator after the first Arthmo woke up. So the lab was well hidden so the Arthmo followed the instructions of its creator and created more of it, and slaying the enemy army. Now they defend the remaining members of their kingdom to allow it to rebuild. However, rumor has it that a surviving enemy found the original Arthmo lab.

Species/Planet Fact: The spotted biological materials that generate the Dalmate’s projectile “spots”, is a shared trait amongst a handful of different Cereberence animal species and even some plant life. Those species has a spot of a different color that was meant harm all other species/subspecie for predation or predator avoidance. Other species that don’t have this projectile ability do have spotted patterns on them to warn predators, or even create similar marks on objects to protect territory by intimidation.To weaponize their own “spots” Dalmate tribes would farm different animals and use them in different methods that changes their spot markings to battle other tribes with their own spot slinging skills to prevent it from being simply absorbed into its targets body.
Fighting/Fairy: Best-O Change-O (Magical Girl/Boy Recruiting Bunny)

- After an allies enchanted objects breaks they lose their gained abilities
- Ally abilities also go away when the Omnitrix Transformation ends
Planet/Species Fact: Lunakessho is a magical planet where all the inhabitants would practice magic, protected by an order of Usegin knights. However dark forces used by villains and monsters would arise practicing this dark magic and almost threatened to corrupt the universe. The Usegin order managed to fight them off but with a threat on that kind of scale and some remaining presence of their enemies they decided to seal of the planet into another realm. However, now there is an occult group mages summoned the order on various points of different moons using a ritual that was meant to be used in case they’re needed. While the Usegin heroes did manage to get involved in their traditional hero work. They’ve learned too late that this ritual will eventually corrupt them once all the full rituals is complete, and they’re powerless to stop them. So they now go to various planets and recruit and train other magical warriors to stop them when the time comes.

2024.05.16 07:28 harriskeith29 Who is MOST likely & worthy to be Goku's successor? (and why I want it to be Pan)
TLDR- In terms of likelihood, my bet is personally a toss-up between Pan and Goku Junior. Gohan is wishful thinking in my opinion. If I had to choose a favorite, I'm currently in favor of Pan because, aside from having the latent potential, I consider her the most interesting and unique candidate.
Toriyama decided years ago that he wasn't the guy (no matter how many times he surpasses his father), and I gave up on Goten after the end of Dragonball Z. Aside from never caring for his character to begin with, I've seen no evidence that he will surpass or even aspire to reach the same levels as Goku or Gohan.
At this point, I simply write him off as "Goku's other kid" whose greatest accomplishments were: A) Unlocking Super Saiyan 1 off-panel (in the original manga) with virtually no struggle (Wow, how compelling; And no, I don't care about that creatively cheap 2nd generation hybrid or S-cells explanation). B) Being one half of an infrequently useful fusion. Goku Junior may very well have the potential, but I just have no attachment to him as a character because we didn't spend enough time with him for me to invest in his future.
He may have had a serviceable arc in the A Hero's Legacy film overcoming his fears & anxieties about fighting (basically a rehash of young, cowardly Gohan's development; Credit where it's due, he at least had to struggle a little more for SS 1 which we see play out onscreen). But GT's finale where he & Vegeta Jr. face off just didn't leave me with much of an impression of him. He doesn't come off unique in any way. In terms of which character has the latent potential and presents as an interesting character, the best candidate I see is Pan.
To that end, one thing I sincerely hope Super does for her character is making up for one of GT's biggest wasted opportunities: LET- PAN- GO- SS- ALREADY! I always found the fact that DB's first canonical female Super Saiyans were new characters from another universe ridiculous. There is ZERO justification that's going to satisfy the majority of fans' desire to see Gohan's daughteGoku's granddaughter achieve something she should've been allowed to long ago. Most DB lovers have never supported that "only one quarter Saiyan" crap.
In many fans' POV, the amount of Saiyan blood or cells shouldn't dictate a Saiyan's capabilities to begin with, at least not to such a restrictive degree that a quarter's worth isn't more than enough. Being of a different species entirely is a different situation. Even then, however, one of DB's most common criticisms over the decades was certain characters becoming irrelevant as the power creep grew until Saiyans, Namekians, and androids (among others like Frieza) were insurmountably stronger. Even in the Tournament of Power, it was painfully apparent which characters would probably make the most difference by the final battles.
This is one reason fans have suggested for years now that at least one of the human characters should be able to unlock Ultra Instinct or some other technique to let them compete more effectively again. But I digress. Obviously, everyone shouldn't be equal all the time. Specific characters outstripping others comes with the territory of Shonen. But it speaks volumes when Pan has become such a fan favorite since GT that her English voice actor Elise Baughman commented that she was similarly surprised the character never unlocked SS.
If you don't want that to become a common criticism of Saiyan characters, then don't make the same blunder with Super's Pan. It's an unnecessary limitation that would deprive the fandom of seeing one of the most important & beloved members in the Z Fighters' next generation sport that iconic golden haiaura + teal eyes. The "Toriyama couldn't figure out how to draw female Super Saiyans" excuse doesn't fly anymore either. Numerous talented artists created decades of fan art that could've been used for reference. Besides which, Toriyama wasn't the only artist in the history of the franchise to design characters.
DB Super, Heroes, and Xenoverse (among other projects) introduced female Super Saiyans that looked just like a lot of that fan art. It would take no effort to translate that look to the canonical version of Pan. At this point, Super Saiyan is more than a transformation, motif, or even an in-universe rite of passage for Saiyan warriors. It's an integral part of the series' image and appeal, a globally recognizable visual that is inseparable from Dragonball's pop cultural identity. Like it or not, however much more powerful characters become, there will ALWAYS be a demand for Super Saiyan to remain relevant to some extent. And it SHOULD be.
If Toyotaro and the IP owners are smart, they'll remember that. Whatever Toriyama's intentions or preferences were, to keep this form out of Pan's reach simply because Dragonball's creator (R.I.P.) never canonically gave it to her would be a mistake. Respecting his wishes is one thing, and his vision for the world should be respected as a guiding force in shaping DB's future. I would never advocate for his will to be disregarded altogether.
What his will should NOT do is shackle DB from new creative possibilities if/when (again) countless fans want a possibility to be explored and would reward you for it with their money. There's a balancing act between business & artistic integrity in every marketable story. But ultimately, I see no way in which letting this particular long coveted desire finally be canonized would do anything but BENEFIT Dragonball going forward.
Comment below, who is your pick to be Goku's successor and why? What would you want for them? Feedback is welcome, but please respect each other's differences of opinion & preference.

In terms of which character has the latent potential and presents as an interesting character, the best candidate I see is Pan.
To that end, one thing I sincerely hope Super does for her character is making up for one of GT's biggest wasted opportunities: LET- PAN- GO- SS- ALREADY! I always found the fact that DB's first canonical female Super Saiyans were new characters from another universe ridiculous. There is ZERO justification that's going to satisfy the majority of fans' desire to see Gohan's daughteGoku's granddaughter achieve something she should've been allowed to long ago. Most DB lovers have never supported that "only one quarter Saiyan" crap.
In many fans' POV, the amount of Saiyan blood or cells shouldn't dictate a Saiyan's capabilities to begin with, at least not to such a restrictive degree that a quarter's worth isn't more than enough. Being of a different species entirely is a different situation. Even then, however, one of DB's most common criticisms over the decades was certain characters becoming irrelevant as the power creep grew until Saiyans, Namekians, and androids (among others like Frieza) were insurmountably stronger. Even in the Tournament of Power, it was painfully apparent which characters would probably make the most difference by the final battles.
This is one reason fans have suggested for years now that at least one of the human characters should be able to unlock Ultra Instinct or some other technique to let them compete more effectively again. But I digress. Obviously, everyone shouldn't be equal all the time. Specific characters outstripping others comes with the territory of Shonen. But it speaks volumes when Pan has become such a fan favorite since GT that her English voice actor Elise Baughman commented that she was similarly surprised the character never unlocked SS.
If you don't want that to become a common criticism of Saiyan characters, then don't make the same blunder with Super's Pan. It's an unnecessary limitation that would deprive the fandom of seeing one of the most important & beloved members in the Z Fighters' next generation sport that iconic golden haiaura + teal eyes. The "Toriyama couldn't figure out how to draw female Super Saiyans" excuse doesn't fly anymore either. Numerous talented artists created decades of fan art that could've been used for reference. Besides which, Toriyama wasn't the only artist in the history of the franchise to design characters.
DB Super, Heroes, and Xenoverse (among other projects) introduced female Super Saiyans that looked just like a lot of that fan art. It would take no effort to translate that look to the canonical version of Pan. At this point, Super Saiyan is more than a transformation, motif, or even an in-universe rite of passage for Saiyan warriors. It's an integral part of the series' image and appeal, a globally recognizable visual that is inseparable from Dragonball's pop cultural identity. Like it or not, however much more powerful characters become, there will ALWAYS be a demand for Super Saiyan to remain relevant to some extent. And it SHOULD be.
If Toyotaro and the IP owners are smart, they'll remember that. Whatever Toriyama's intentions or preferences were, to keep this form out of Pan's reach simply because Dragonball's creator (R.I.P.) never canonically gave it to her would be a mistake. Respecting his wishes is one thing, and his vision for the world should be respected as a guiding force in shaping DB's future. I would never advocate for his will to be disregarded altogether.
What his will should NOT do is shackle DB from new creative possibilities if/when (again) countless fans want a possibility to be explored and would reward you for it with their money. There's a balancing act between business & artistic integrity in every marketable story. But ultimately, I see no way in which letting this particular long coveted desire finally be canonized would do anything but BENEFIT Dragonball going forward.
Comment below, who is your pick to be Goku's successor and why? What would you want for them? Feedback is welcome, but please respect each other's differences of opinion & preference.
