Player broke me and the other player so much that they rolled up a new character
2024.05.16 13:19 the_gay_harley Player broke me and the other player so much that they rolled up a new character
So, we're running a homebrew campaign that I like to call the "training wheels campaign" since it's my first time as a DM and my players are new to DnD. Everyone is on the same page that this campaign is meant for all of us to mess around a bit, get a hang of the game and find out what works best for us to make everyone have fun.
The original party was Karl-Otto, the human artificer (he's going to end up breaking us), who is basically Iron Man; Fern Witherbloom, the fairy barbarian; Makoto, a half-elf bard; Presley, another half-elf bard; and Sakaria, a tabaxi wild-magic sorceress (DMPC to balance the party a bit). Makotos player left the group after their little prequel adventure because they realized they're not interested in DnD. The prequels were my idea to have them play a little before session one and thereby having a better introduction than just "you're all at the same tavern at the same time". Presley will most likely be the next to leave because since his prequel adventure his player couldn't make it to any session we had so far. Next game night will be their final chance to show up.
So for pretty much all of the game so far the group was Karl-Otto, Fern and Sakaria. Now that I've given context let's take a look at what Karl-Otto did.
After hearing some business men complain about the lack of energy and enthusiasm some workers of theirs were showing lately the party headed out to interrogate one of the workers. He didn't spill the beans but the group just trailed him for the rest of the day. During the night this NPC snuck out and made his way to an old barrack that was left untouched since the civil war around 250 years ago. They managed to solve a puzzle to get access to the long forgotten catacombs beneath the city. There they had an encounter with some specters before finding a group of cultists in the main chamber.
Karl-Otto had Fern take place inside of his Handy Haversack playing dead to deceive any potential threat. Sakaria managed to sneak out of sight but Karl-Otto wasn't stealthy at all due to his heavy armor. The cultists noticed him immediately and confronted him about his motive for being here. He stated that he wanted to apologize to the NPC from earlier but he rolled low on his persuasion check. No one in or out of the game believed him so of course a fight broke out. It was the three PCs versus four cultists, a cultist leader and a hidden succubus I nerfed a little to better match the player levels.
After a few rounds Karl-Otto was paralyzed by the Hold Person spell but didn't take any hits due to his high AC. The NPC from earlier fled the scene and a few cultists were looking rough. That's when I decided to have the succubus show herself, tell the cultists they suck and then vanish into thin air again. It was just too fitting to not do it. We killed most of the cultists, leaving only the guy who fled earlier and one other alive. This last one was quickly interrogate but not after Fern in her rage tried to kill him too, accidentally killing Karl-Otto in the process (nothing a quick cure wounds spell couldn't handle).
When asked how they summoned that succubus the cultist reveals that they didn't actively summoned her. Their group was a bunch of incels and their combined sexual frustration is what attracted the succubus. With that information Karl-Otto and Fern were roleplaying a bit giving me time to rummage through my note to find what I had planned for after the combat. But I noticed someone asked me a question and it was Karl-Otto's player. He repeated what he asked but I still couldn't figure out what he wanted to know. Fern's player stepped in to give me context.
Turns out Karl-Otto wanted to know if the succubus would show up again if we force our prisoner to do nasty things to the corpses of his comrades. My mind went blank for a moment before I started to laugh and cry at the same time. We wrapped up the session shortly after but since he was staying at my place for the night I had a chance to talk to him afterwards. I still can't believe I actually had to tell him that Necromancy is okay at the table but Necrophilia isn't.
Now he rolled up a druid character since that's what he wanted to play to begin with but since he's new to DnD he just copied the Iron Man build from the YouTube channel DnDbuilds as his first character

2024.05.16 13:19 ChillOutBar 2023 Cos d'Estournel
£720/6
98-99 Points – James Suckling
“The finesse is pretty phenomenal here, with such complexity of fruit and vivid, bright flowers. Lavender and rose. Seductive. Ever-so long and precise. Lead pencil and graphite. Reminiscent of old, great Cos, such as 1955 or 1982, but with so much more form and modernity. A renaissance of Cos. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot, 1% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.”
96-98 Points – Antonio Galloni
“The 2023 Cos d’Estournel is fabulous. Dark, resonant and inviting, the 2023 has so much to offer. All the elements are beautifully woven together. Black cherry, plum, licorice, espresso, mocha and incense fill out the layers. Readers will find a Cos endowed with tremendous substance and intensity. [I can't remember a young Cos with this much fruit concentration](), yet there is nothing overdone here. I loved it.”
96-98 Points – Jeff Leve
“It takes some coaxing to find the red, purple, and white floral bouquet, but it comes with swirling, along with Asian spice, smoke, tobacco, and licorice. But, it is the palate that offers thrills with its silky, fresh, opulent textures. There is a vivid quality to the fruit, coupled with a relaxed character, finishing with black, red, and blue fruits complicated by Indian spices. It reminds me of a modern version of the 1990, with selection. The wine was made from blending 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV, 3.75 pH. The harvest took place September 12 to September 29. This is the first vintage, since 2008 the estate green harvested. The Grand Vin was produced from 53% of the harvest. The wine is going to be approachable early in its life, yet it has the ability to age for decades. Drink from 2029-2060.”
97 Points – Jane Anson
“Step into Cos d'Estournel, with its richness, depths and layers of cocoa bean, liquorice, espresso, chocolate, exceptional chewiness on the tannins, making things fairly serious at this early stage, with a promise of slow-revealed pleasure over the decades ahead. First time doing green harvest in the vineyards since 2008, causing some worries over the late heat waves on already ripening grapes, but they have retained balanced alchols here, and there is plenty of juice to lift things up on the finish. Harvest September 12 to 29 (last year finished September 22). 50% new oak for ageing, 53% 1st wine. In organic conversion (that began in 2021, but have had to extend after addition of a few more plots to the vineyard).”
95-97+ Points – Lisa Perrotti-Brown
“The 2023 Cos d'Estournel is deep garnet-purple in color. Energetic notes of cassis, wild blueberries, and fresh juicy raspberries pop from the glass, giving way to underlying hints of rose oil, black pepper, and anise. The light to medium-bodied palate is taut with tightly wound, shiny black and red berry layers, framed by firm grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, with pH 3.75 and TPI 72.”

2024.05.16 10:50 Impressive-Ad-5914 My simple system, that really really works (for me, and I hope for you too). Scroll to bottom for results...
Step 1. Vision: Create ambitious 10 year vision for your life that covers health, wealth and fulfillment. Print it out, stick it up. (This takes some real soul searching to do properly)
Step 2. Annual goals: Work out your annual goals that work towards the vision. Print it out, stick it up under 10 year vision, check off as done.
Step 3: Quarterly goals - create 3-5 key quarterly goals that align with your annual goals. Print it out, stick it up, under annual goals. Check off, as done.
Step 4: Sunday night - plan week ahead with 3 key weekly goals. Only takes 5 mins.
Step 5: Daily plan - Night before set 3-5 key tasks for next day. These are my non-negotiables. Get them done! (On the rare occasion you don't they get put on the next day until done or deleted if no longer mission critical).
Step 6: Capture and sort - have a task capture board set up on themes - Trello is my go to for this. That way whenever someone drops something on you drop it on there in the relevant column and get back to your key tasks of the day. (Use this board to help you plan your day/week if you need.)
Step 7: Perfect your schedule - design your perfect workday schedule that works around your life with key non-negotiable times for key tasks.
Step 8: Pull the levers - look for "force multipliers" all the time - something that you can leverage to get more done, earn more, boost health - eg AI, a VA or batch cooking.
I am not reinventing the wheel here but that is kind of the point - this simple organisation system has helped me 1) get in the best shape of my life at 40. 2) achieve financial independence and 3) hit the sort of work life balance I previously only dreamed of.
Hope it helps. 👍

2024.05.16 10:26 zhujzal Successful concept test: passive steering assist (PSA)
| Passive steering assist is simple: it's a gimbal system, but does NOT utilize stabilization. Instead, the fan rotating on the wagon wheel is balanced & weighted so that it swings opposite the direction you're turning, creating independent thrust that helps sharpen the turn. The fan cannot swing past 45° and drag the flyer down. The PSA enables the flyer to do 360° turns on the spot whereas otherwise it would turn slow and wide. submitted by zhujzal to HyruleEngineering [link] [comments] |

Welcome Bonuses While most online casinos offer a standard deposit match bonus, MetaWin takes a different approach that’s tailored to its innovative blockchain competitions. Here’s how it works: As soon as you connect your crypto wallet to MetaWin, you’ll automatically receive 1 free ticket entry to the current big prize competition running at the time. For example, the most recent competition had a prize pool of 5 ETH (over $9,000 at current prices!). Just by signing up, you get a free lottery ticket for a chance to win that huge prize. But MetaWin doesn’t stop there. You can then purchase additional entries at discounted rates to increase your odds significantly: - 50 additional entries for 0.012 ETH
- 165 additional entries for 0.036 ETH
- 780 additional entries for 0.156 ETH
- 2,000 additional entries for 0.36 ETH
As you can see, the more entries you purchase, the bigger the discount per entry. So maximizing your investment can pay off massively if you hit that smart contract jackpot. With each new competition cycle, the prize pools reset with new opportunities to win big payouts or rare NFTs just for joining. How to Signup Rather than a traditional account registration process, MetaWin just requires you to connect a cryptocurrency wallet to get started. Here are the steps: - Visit the MetaWin website on your desktop or mobile device.
- Click the “Connect Wallet” button at the top.
- Choose which crypto wallet you want to use – MetaWin supports MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and over 300 other wallets through WalletConnect.
- For MetaMask, just approve the connection request in the wallet window that pops up.
- For WalletConnect, you’ll be shown a QR code to scan with your mobile wallet app.
- That’s it! Your wallet is now connected to MetaWin.
No personal information, email addresses or cumbersome sign-ups required. Simply connect an Ethereum wallet and you’re ready to play. The connected wallet acts as your secure MetaWin account. Deposits and withdrawals happen instantly by transferring ETH to/from your wallet address. You can also participate in competitions and purchase entries directly from your wallet balance.

Everything is kept anonymous through your encrypted wallet connection.

This members overview area provides all the essential data you need about your MetaWin gaming in a clean, easy-to-digest interface. You can also quickly jump to the game lobbies, hop into competitions, purchase additional entries, or withdraw winnings straight from this main account area with just a couple clicks.

2024.05.16 09:27 Impressive-Ad-5914 My simple system that really, really works
Step 1. Vision: Create ambitious 10 year vision for your life that covers health, wealth and fulfillment. Print it out, stick it up. (This takes some real soul searching to do properly)
Step 2. Annual goals: Work out your annual goals that work towards the vision. Print it out, stick it up under 10 year vision, check off as done.
Step 3: create 3-5 key quarterly goals that align with your annual goals. Print it out, stick it up, under annual goals. Check off, as done.
Step 4: Sunday night - plan week ahead with 3 key weekly goals. Only takes 5 mins.
Step 5: Night before set 3-5 key tasks for next day. These are my non-negotiables. Get them done! (On the rare occasion you don't they get put on the next day until done or deleted if no longer mission critical).
Step 6: have a task capture board set up on themes - Trello is my go to for this. That way whenever someone drops something on you drop it on there in the relevant column and get back to your key tasks of the day. (Use this board to help you plan your day/week if you need.)
Step 7: design your perfect workday schedule that works around your life with key non-negotiable times for key tasks.
Step 8: look for "force multipliers" all the time - something that you can leverage to get more done, earn more, boost health - eg AI, a VA or batch cooking.
I am not reinventing the wheel here but that is kind of the point - this simple organisation system has helped me 1) get in the best shape of my life at 40. 2) achieve financial independence and 3) hit the sort of work life balance I previously only dreamed of.
Hope it helps. 👍

2024.05.16 08:58 artofPreparation "Therefore, the one receiving such blood shall be receiving not just a simple bodily fluid, but shall be receiving the patterns of the very being of the entity who served as donor, and shall, therefore, be creating a tie between the two entities" : Latwii
C Yes. In our healing practices, especially in the area known as surgery, there is a—they use, they replenish a person’s blood with that of others, and over the years I’ve been giving blood for such purposes, but of late I’ve seen material from various groups which refuse, even at the point of ceasing existence, to accept blood from another due to a passage from somewhere in the Bible instructing then not to partake of blood. Is there any harmful effect to the acceptance of blood from another? I see it as merely a giving of life from one to another. I can’t see any harm in the practice. I am Latwii, and am aware of your question, my brother. In response, may we say this is not a simple matter, for indeed one who is approaching the limits of what you know as life and does, therefore, require what is called the transfusion of blood, such a practice might be deemed quite helpful, for indeed it is one means of prolonging the incarnation and might be the only means for many upon your planet, for their knowledge does not yet include other means.
In such cases it cannot be said to be other than helpful if each party does wish to aid in the prolonging of life which grows short. On the other hand, there are situations which mitigate against the transferring of that known as blood from one entity to another if the entities are not involved in what you call the …
[Side one of tape ends.]
(Jim channeling)
I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument. As we were saying, there are instances which are not favorable to such a transfer of this vital fluid from one entity to another, for there are various, shall we say, patterns or parts of an entity’s pattern of being of the bodily complex which are transferred in this process that may be detrimental to another.
We speak of areas now which are little known to your peoples, and are, therefore, most likely to be somewhat confusing, but we shall continue. Each entity does through the power of mind before incarnation create the pattern of the physical vehicle which it shall inhabit. This vehicle, in each cell of its substance, does contain the complete blueprint of the entity, much as a hologram. This is true also of the fluid known as blood. The state of being of health, shall we say, to use somewhat of a misnomer, is clearly reflected in the blood and each cell of that fluid. The transfer of such vital fluid to one entity from another does then transfer the patterns of being or of health from one entity to another, these patterns having a great complexity of interrelationship from the experience of the entity who has provided the blood for transfusion.
Therefore, the one receiving such blood shall be receiving not just a simple bodily fluid, but shall be receiving the patterns of the very being of the entity who served as donor, and shall, therefore, be creating a tie between the two entities in which some of which you know of as karma, shall be shared. This appears quite insignificant when the entity is facing what you call the life and death situation, but does grow in significance as the entity does continue its incarnation and as the entity which served as donor does also continue its incarnation. It is then left to what might be called higher levels of the being of both entities to complete the balancing of the karmic patterns which have been set in motion by this transfer.
C In the case where one receives, say, a pint of blood, which is the usual unit, is the amount of the being of the donor that is received by the individual a sufficient enough amount to actually interfere with the being of the person receiving? I am Latwii. My brother, we feel that you have correctly stated the situation. The amount is significant in that it serves as what you might call a ratio, a blending the beingness of the sources of blood, both of the donor and the one receiving the donation.
C Yes. In our bodily systems, cells are constantly being used up and replaced. After a period of time would that amount of beingness be slowly removed from the blood of the one receiving? I am Latwii, and am aware of your question, my brother. We may say in this case, in general, that this is not correct, for the reproduction of the blood fluid is by the existing ratio of blood, and this existing ratio does then reproduce itself much as what you have called the cloning mechanism does reproduce an exact duplicate of itself.
The dilution, shall we say, of the donor’s karmic patterns may occur in another manner, this being the balancing of the patterns of behavior of the one which has received the donation, and also of the one which has served as donor. Carla Before we leave this sanguine subject, I’d like to check a couple of hunches. Is it true that the link between patterns of the entities works precisely both ways? I am Latwii. Yes, my sister, we do recognize this to be true in our understanding of such matters.
May we answer you further?
Carla Yes. Hunch number two. Is this link the time/space portion of this very central fluid which is called blood, that is magical in nature, and is this why some of the more primitive of our tribes peoples have used blood to become blood brothers and things like this, why even as children we do things like that? Does this have a magical potential in the time/space portion of its reality? I am Latwii, and again we find agreement with your statement, that the portion known as the time/space portion or metaphysical portion of the entity is that which is affected in what you have described as a magical nature.
C Yes, while we’re on the subject. If the pattern of beingness in each self … what of the situation as in our, in the drinking, in the partaking of blood orally as opposed to taking it into the veins directly, if ingesting the cells of another being, whether flesh or blood, do you still pick up the beingness? I am Latwii, and am aware of your question, my brother. Again, we find that the general response can be somewhat misleading, for such an action as you have described would have far different results with different types of entities. Those most likely to accomplish such an action would be those who have begun the practice of what you might call the black magical arts and such an adept then would gain power, the power of the one whose vital fluid it consumed. An entity who had no training in these arts and rituals would simply gain those karmic ties in the time/space or metaphysical portion of your existence.
C I was just curious because in our legends of creatures such as vampires, they’re always able to remove the being and leave just a shell, more or less, though animated, no longer expressing that which it was, and I was just curious as to the source of that idea, whether there was some truth behind it. I am Latwii, and am aware of a general query. We may respond by saying that your legends in this regard have distorted greatly the foundation of facts in such situations, but have reflected some of that which is more nearly true. The magical nature of the fluid you call blood has been reflected in such stories and legends, for indeed the entity whose blood has been removed in some degree is only a shell of the former self, the greater portion having passed to the entity consuming the blood, the greater portion of power also passing with that consuming.

2024.05.16 07:47 Mr_Schmock Brave's "Strict" Fingerprinting Capabilities - GONE
It is frustrating, how Brave has stripped away its "Strict" browser fingerprinting capabilities, citing Website incompatibility issues, when it wasn't the default option in the first place. I've been using strictest privacy settings on Android + strictest on Android-Brave + always using Private mode, but now the "Strict" fingerprinting option is gone.
Browser fingerprinting relies on multiple system + browser variables, including a graphics and audio test (in the background), designed to create a unique fingerprint. The only browser that allowed "Strict" fingerprinting capabilities was Brave. It was the only one able to mess up Google's high precision fingerprinting (which also includes mouse-curser micro-movements and typing habits / typos to complete the whole picture). This is suspeciously gone now and it seems when heavily used, is stripped away (in an effort to prevent it being widespead enough to arouse regulators' suspecions of anti-competitive practices?)
This is wrong. Absolutely wrong.

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

- 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.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

Giengar Nemetrix predator of the Ashe (See Burrzerker in Ice Types)
Appearance

- 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

Ovivine Nemetrix predator of the Sabter (See Mountain Goat in Fighting Types)

- 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”

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:

- 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)

- After regrowing a body part that was already attached, the original detached body part will lose its structure and melt

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.

- 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)

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 06:37 Logical_Monk_4474 Passed- 4/19/24; Low NBME Scores
First off, I am a current MS3 that is at the end of third year rotations. My story is kind of hectic, and if I can pass this thing anyone can. I took the CBSE my institution provided at the begining of my second semester of MS2. I pretty much bombed it. I started studying soon after the results as I planned on taking it early June of the year. I used UWorld, Pathoma, Boards and Beyond, and Sketchy Micro to prepare. Prior to my June test date, I hadn’t cracked 60 yet on a test. I was a mess trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I had to postpone my test date from June last year to April of this year which is currently my third year. I was going through my third year rotations for the majority of the time and had to balance my step 1 with my shelf studies. i learned so much through hands on practice and started to feel more comfortable about the exam but it was still probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to do but it was worth it.
NBMEs: CBSE- 44; 27- 49; 29- 48; 30- 43; 25- 50; 26- 53; 31- 61; 30 retake- 65; 29 retake- 61; 27 retake- 67; Free 120 (new)- 68; Free 120 (old)- 73
I completed the retakes 1.5 months, 1 month, and 2 weeks from my test date respectively. Took the new 120 a week out and the old 120 3 days out. As for last minute studying, Mehlman medical aarows and risk factors are game changing. Specifically the aarows, it’s an amazing review. Goodluck to everyone who is studying and those that are waiting. Keep working, stay focused, and never give up. 🤝

2024.05.16 06:31 GuruSensei My belated thoughts on S1(spoilers ahead)
Ahead of the S2 premiere next week, I thought it prudent to catch up courtesy of Max. In short......IT's GREAT!!!! I think unlike some other well known adaptations, MAWS does a far better example of showing the Clark/Superman connection, in that Superman isn't compelling without a compelling Clark. Not to mention, the light hearted romcom approach gives Lois a bit more agency within the story, and i think making them young adult allows for potential threads they couldn't do with older takes. Some additional random takes:
- Goddamn this show is HORNY haha. It's refreshing having even nervous Clark wear his heart on his sleeve everytime he crushes on Lois, and it's literal seretonin by the time they kiss at the end of Zero Day pt 2. Just squeeing both on the outside and inside
- I love Jimmy. He manages the embody the traditional ighthearted, idealistic characterization without sacrificing any sort of agency to his role in the story. He's not simply a third wheel to Clark and Lois. He shows competence at his job, and he's a true G 'cause he chooses to hold Clark's secret.
- The General is an interesting character. He's a complete hardass, and for most of the episodes, he's so wantonly cruel to the criminals he kidnaps and exploits. However, you still understand his fear of Superman throughtout, given how we see Superman piecing together his not so innocent origin, and with Superman's ship activation in the season finale which of course sets up Brainiac and Zod, i expect more butting heads, so to speak, between Lois, the general and Superman.
- I find it interesting how Jor El's hologram stays mostly untranslated besides some select words. I think that choice works for this particular story, because Clark's superpowers are alien to himself, especially as he's discovering his superpowers. It's less an instance of realism and more a choice that suits itself to Clark finding his own existence and origin alien.
- In episode 2, he buries the ship after saving his parents from falling in the hole in the ground. This, to me, is such a small, but significant defining moment for me in establishing Clark's innate protectiveness. He would rather keep his history literally buried than harm falling on his Ma and Pa. That, to me, feels as much in line with Clark protecting Lois from the guns in 1x06 out of pure instinct rather than knowledge of his powers.
All in all, a great, damn time. The show seems to play to 2 tones: the lighthearted, romantic comedy angle with the young Clark/Lois/Jimmy trio, and the more serious stake-heavy storylines with the criminals and their stolen tech and whatnot. It balances both fairly well. This is solid proof, for me that Superman does not need to be a grimdark character to be compelling. You can still inject plenty of compelling pathos and dark subject matter without making Superman Omni-Man or, god forbid, Homelander.
I really look forward to Season 2. I'm fully on the twunk Clark train :)
P.S Studio Mir also animated X-Men '97(finale aired on D+ today), which is also awesome and great-looking. Superhero animation FTW :)

2024.05.16 06:22 ozzihel Just rolled out of the shop
Nightmare of a customer came through the shop today. Out of state, obviously worried about being swindled, refused to let any work be done out of her sight. Came in at about 10:30 for 4 tires, chose a discontinued style that we didn't have in her size anyway, was offered the updated style in the same brand that is the same price point. Said she'd shop around, came back an hour later and agreed to the 4 we had, appointment set for 3pm as it was by this time only a few minutes before the shop closed for lunch and we had other tickets scheduled for the afternoon. She sits in the parking lot the whole time. 1 ticket canceled at 2 so the manager walks out and let's her know that we can get her in early. And at this point the insanity begins. We, as a policy, use footmats and seat protectors to keep clean. She demands we triple layer them, and clean our shoes, but that also she will drive the vehicle up to the bay, she will only allow us to drive the last car length. Also we are not to touch anything other than the steering wheel, gear shift, and keys, she will be watching us from in the parking lot the whole time. She will open the trunk, and hold up the carpet so you can crank down the spare too (4 new use best for new spare, best had 0/32nds.) It only gets worse however as you need to use new gloves to work on the tires, also she wants to keep the old valve stem, core, and cap; and why did you replace those without asking (store policy, no charge) and what pressure are they at, and why 30 doesn't the sidewall have something to say, don't open my door without asking, why does the sticker not match the sidewall that doesn't make sense. Get to balancing and a new level of insane begins where she tries to demand I reuse the old wheel weights, and it doesn't make sense that the new tires wouldn't balance the same as the old. Have to try and explain that stick-on weights are not reusable, and that a new multi-mile matrix RS2 tire has no reason to weigh the same as a Michelin defender made 5 years ago. Finally get that explained but she still insists I reuse the hammer on weights for the inside edge. At this point I'm an hour and a half into this nonsense and over it so I oblige her insanity and do my best, somehow it worked. Get all her tires put back on the car. Get the spare put back under, somehow? managed to talk her into letting me use new valve cores. And let her drive away around front to pay. I step away to take care of another customer who has been waiting almost an hour at this point for a task only im certified to do. About 6 minutes into that my coworker shows up and informs me she has changed her mind and wants her old tires reinstalled, because we are a bunch of lying cheating criminals taking advantage of her, she didn't want to buy the RS2s she wanted the discontinued tires we don't have, and that we told her as such at 1030 in the morning. So cue it all beginning again. Somehow at the crack of quitting time I managed to have her out of the shop, and hopefully out of my life with a blown out spare tire, two fronts with cords showing across the outer half of the tire, and rears at 0/32nds. But the customers right, and all the workers upset. So if one of you poor souls in central illinois winds up with a turn of the century toyota rav 4 with blown tires, washington plates, and that smells like rancid lettuce, be ye warned, turn it away.
