2024.05.29 06:41 440Music You Interact to begin carrying a party member. What are you now legally allowed to do? (Stride, Leap, Teleport, etc.)

The Bulk of Creatures is listed within Player Core: "You might need to know the Bulk of a creature, especially if you need to carry someone." We'll suppose your friend is of Medium Size, which is listed as Bulk 6. Unfortunately, "Carry" is not a listed action anywhere in the rules, despite this. We'll assume it takes 1 Interact action and that you will be Encumbered as a result. Interact does not specifically list creature, but there doesn't seem to be an alternative; it does have "Pick up an item from the ground" on the Carrying Items page (there's also a note on Tiny PCs riding larger PCs but no further clarification).
Let's assume you have a speed of 40 feet (Fleet + Quicksilver, if you must have an example). Since you're encumbered, this is now 30.
Rules for Dragging exist, explicitly calling out creature (and as an option instead of carrying them). When doing so, their bulk is halved, it requires 2 hands, and you get a measly (explicit) 5 feet per round, which is confusing, since this ignores bulk limits and character speed. We'll also note that Reposition exists. It requires 1 hand and an Athletics check, and can move 5 to 10 feet per action. There appears to be no RAW way of modifying this for willing or unconscious creatures. Ignoring the confusing rules for Dragging, Reposition seems at least reasonably designed such that you can try to use Athletics to move someone a shorter distance with fewer actions or penalties.
Can you Climb with your friend slung over your shoulder with the Combat Climber feat? Can you crawl with their body on top of you? Can you carry them while flying or swimming with the appropriate move speed? Can you Tumble Through? Can you Leap 15 feet horizontally? Sneak? Balance?
Some spells, like Translocate, forbid you from bringing another creature. Many teleport spells however do not say this! If you are a Monk can you use Abundant Step and bring your friend with you? If you are a Magus can you use Dimensional Assault to do the same? Can you hold on real tight and Flicker together?
You are carrying your friend. You cast Dive and Breach. Do the both of you enter the Plane of Water and come out the other side?
Suppose you first put your friend in a Spacious Pouch. Suppose you Swallow or Engulf your friend first (Perhaps using a rank 4 Enlarge or an Ooze Form to justify this). Does it change the answer?
"But you don't have enough hands!" Fine, give yourself an extra one. Or make yourself Large to justify 1-arming a person. Or assume you are a Master in Athletics. There are clearly ways to mechanically justify the capability.
Is being able to stride while carrying a party member too powerful? What kinds of actions would you allow or expect?

2024.05.29 06:39 Don_gbp Using the Listing Agent’s CAR Forms for RPA in California

I am a new real estate broker whose very first transaction is going to be to purchase a home for myself. Yay!
I have not signed up for membership to California Association of Realtors (CAR) and therefore don’t have access to their standardized forms that seem to be ubiquitous in California.
I would like to submit an offer, what are my options to do so?
Would it be okay to ask the listing again if I can use their CAR forms? Would they draft the RPA? They seem to be motivated sellers.
Or do I just pay for the CAR membership even though I’m not a practicing broker?

2024.05.29 06:38 SnowBrilliant9068 Discussing Delta-8 THC: Q&A With MUSC Scientists

The growing presence of delta-8 THC in various consumer products such as snacks, drinks, and vapes is noteworthy, especially in regions like the Lowcountry. Research from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) highlights the increasing usage of Delta-8 THC among their study participants and a notable percentage of high school seniors nationwide. Here's a breakdown of the insights provided by MUSC researchers Rachel Tomko, Ph.D, and Ashley Dowd, PH.D.
Understanding Delta-8 THC
Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, similar to the more well-known delta-9 THC, which is the main psychoactive component of cannabis. Unlike delta-9 THC, delta-8 is often synthesized from hemp-derived CBD due to its low natural occurrence in cannabis plants. The production of delta-8 THC was facilitated by the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized industrial hemp containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, creating a loophole for Delta-8 THC production.
Effects and Risks
Effects:-
  1. Delta-8 THC produced similar effects to delta-9 THC, including a milder high.
  2. It acts on the same brain receptors but to a lesser extent.
Risks:-
  1. Negative effects reported including anxiety, nausea, dizziness, restlessness, and sleepiness.
  2. The FDA has received reports of adverse reactions such as hallucination, vomiting, tremors, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Some cases required medical intervention.
Consumption Methods
Delta-8 THC is available in variety of forms, including gummies, chocolates, cookies, drinks, vapes, and blunts. These products often come in appealing flavors like watermelon, raspberry, and cookies dough, and are discreet in use.
Availability
Delta-8 THC products are widely available in CBD stores, smoke shops, vape shops, and occasionally in convenience stores. These products are prominently advertised in such outlets.
Future Directions and Challenges
Research
  1. More scientific research is needed to understand the full effects and safety of delta-8 THC.
  2. The MUSC's Cannabinoid Research Collaborative is working to provide accurate information about the content and safety of delta-8 products.
Education
  1. There is a need for educational programs to inform the public, especially young people, about delta-8 THC and its potential risks.
  2. Accurate labelling and understanding of dosage sizes are crucial to prevent misuse. Some products contain dangerously high qualities of delta-8 THC, far exceeding the typical 30 mg dose.
Regulation
The lack of regulation means products can vary widely in content and safety, with potential contaminants posing additional health risks.
Conclusion
Delta-8 THC's popularity is rising, but so are concerns about its safety and the accuracy of products labeling. Researchers emphasize the need for increased public education and scientist research to ensure consumers are aware of the potential risk and can make informed decisions.

2024.05.29 06:35 andrewbiochem South Africa elections can't go wrong for left aligned stocks and Cannabis codified

The South Africa elections result possibilities are even better than I first thought. And imo I do not expect it to be priced in for the Cannabis sector. (Especially with retail out of the loop on this catalyst and great step long term for industry growth)
The cannabis supporting ANC party is being challenged and may lose majority, but that is looking ever more likely that it could actually be really great for cannabis and speed up the timeline to recreation. It appears a left shifted ANC will keep majority, or a hard-left coalition will be formed (by the ANC with EFF or uMkhonto weSizwe Party.) All newly proposed coalitions support legalization even for recreational use. The president's choice to codify cannabis legalization today put the lane up for regulated industry with medical and recreational sales, moving the ANC on this issue to possibly keep majority.
So the outcomes of the Wednesday election will be either great news or very great news, with a lower risk of downside than I first assumed considering the ANC majority being threatened. Getting ready to adjust my timeline.

2024.05.29 06:33 WooliestTuna Credit union holding funds

Howdy, My boss had an issue with a payroll company and decided to cut all of us paper checks on 5/11/24. My credit union accepted the deposit on 5/13/24 and released all of the funds to me on 5/14/24.
Fast forward to this last friday 5/24/24 and I wake up to find OnPoint has now decided that the check is potentially fraudulent and have taken the money back, and locked my account and placed and 80 day hold on that check. It took me multiple phone calls to even get that far to find out what was going on.
My boss has provided multiple forms of documentation to me from his bank showing that the check cleared his bank and they have no idea why OnPoint is holding the check. This has happened to several people within my company who use OnPoint and everyone else who has gotten a paper check have had zero issues.
OnPoint has been very standoffish about this and the other co workers this is happening to have been told various stories from them culminating in all of us getting the same letter today.
Is this something I should pursue legal action over? I’ve already filed a complaint with the NCUA but I need to get access to the funds in my account faster and OnPoint is refusing to allow that.
It is my understanding that OnPoint has essentially violated every reg cc regulation regarding deposits that’s exists.

2024.05.29 06:30 Big-Draw-5245 Women aren't having kids because men (on average) suck and women are still dealing with misogyny

Before everyone comes at me 'NoT aLL MeN' yada yada yada yes some men are good fathers, good husbands ect. There are also women who aren't satisfactory spouses or parents and who abuse people. However my experience and the statistics themselves paint an abysmal picture of men and this is a thread about why women are choosing to avoid men and are increasingly choosing to be single and childfree. If you are one of the men who does the bare minimum I won't be patting you on the back. If you are one of the men who does the bare minimum then this thread wasn't created to complain about you. You can either back me up or move along.
I'm not going to go into too much detail about my personal life but I have kids. I enjoy being a mom, it's the best thing I have done and I don't regret my decision. I have always respected childfree people and their decision but I never understood why they felt that way, I just thought that they had no instinct to have kids and that might be the case for some of them, however I'm really starting to understand an even bigger elephant in the room and I would guess that a lot of it has to do with the state of men and the fact that women are increasingly walking away from relationships because they no longer want to be a maid, hooker, nanny and servant. Women want equality and equity and they aren't getting it. Women work more hours on average than men if you include family responsibilities and domestic tasks and not just paid employment. Women are also still being paid less. We haven't reached the degree of equity needed so that women can have multiple children and further her career. Women already have to work harder than men to achieve the same goals. Women still have to face systematic misogyny and becoming a mother inevitably increases the misogyny women are subjected to in the form of idealized motherhood. Women are held to higher moral standards than men and men get away with lackluster parenting because people expect them to be incompetent. If a man 'babysits' the child for a few hours over the weekend everyone pats him on the back. Men just have to do the bare minimum and they get a trophy. For the first time in history women finally have choices and more and more of them are opting out when it comes to having anything to do with men.
The statistics surrounding men paint a frightening picture. I will provide links here

The prevalence and seriousness of incestuous abuse: Stepfathers vs. biological fathers
According to this study a whopping 1 in 6 stepfathers are nonces and 1 in 40 women are sexually abused by their biological fathers. To make things even more shocking these numbers are underestimated, since the study only highlights women, it doesn't cover men who were sexually abused as boys by their male parental figure. Considering the fact that 1 in 6 boys is sexually abused by the age of 16 and some of those abusers are male parental figures, the numbers are even higher than this study suggests.

Violence against women and girls – what the data tells us
https://liveprod.worldbank.org/en/data-stories/overview-of-gender-based-violence
Domestic violence perpetrators - women vs men
women’s violence usually occurs in the context of violence against them by their male partners; (b) in general, women and men perpetrate equivalent levels of physical and psychological aggression, but evidence suggests that men perpetrate sexual abuse, coercive control, and stalking more frequently than women and that women also are much more frequently injured during domestic violence incidents; (c) women and men are equally likely to initiate physical violence in relationships involving less serious “situational couple violence,” and in relationships in which serious and very violent “intimate terrorism” occurs, men are much more likely to be perpetrators and women victims; (d) women’s physical violence is more likely than men’s violence to be motivated by self-defense and fear, whereas men’s physical violence is more likely than women’s to be driven by control motives; (e) studies of couples in mutually violent relationships find more negative effects for women than for men
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2968709/
When you look at men as a whole group an unfortunate number of them do not make suitable husbands and fathers.
You can't blame women for 'picking wrong' when the statistics are this terrible. Now women have had the choice, they have had enough of men.
So what do you even suggest? Get all the 'good' men with emotional intelligence, kindness and integrity and allow them to take multiple wives? Make it easier for women to exist as single mothers? Because men as a group are failing women and children and enforced monogamy means that a high proportion of women and children will suffer abuse.
Because at this point, if I were a single woman, I would rather SHARE a husband that was a decent person or be single as opposed to having a pool of potential predators and abusers to choose from. That's how bad men are.

2024.05.29 06:29 InaTwinPickle My family is hydrochloric acid

TW!!! S/A, Neglect, Suicidal Thoughts/Intentions, Verbal/Physical Abuse
I've had to endure every type of abuse form my parents, and my sister is following in their footsteps. It started with physical beatings and neglect from my mother, I was left unsupervised for hours and wasn't fed regularly, and I'd get hit if my room was messy or I did something small wrong. When I turned 8/9 the verbal lashings started, I was called every swear under the sun and then some more creative ones, for getting a C or breaking a glass. I also started having serious suicidal thoughts and intentions, with outward signs of anxiety and depression my mother has admitted to knowing about, I was also still getting beaten, once I was playing outside when my sister and I were called in, our ball was kicked into the alleyway so we went to go get it then go inside. We were smacked in the back of the head for not coming right in, I ducked after seeing my sister getting smacked so I got a more severe beating.
When I started developing my father started coming into my room even after I told him I was naked, and once or twice touched me inappropriately. He would also talk about very inappropriate topics with me very often, what kinks he and my mother liked, when the last time he had sex was ect.
When I began high school the physical abuse stopped but the sexual, verbal, and neglect didn't. I was about to commit suicide in grade 9 when I begged my parents for help, I got 2 therapy sessions and was guilted for wanting more sessions, I also didn't receive any medication or cbt or hospitalization. I also was forced to spend everyday: 1-2 hours shopping or doing errands after school with my mother, cook dinner, make my own breakfast and lunch, help meal plan, clean the house, do dishes, manage item levels(garbage bags, soap, etc). Most of these were my sole responsibility even though my mother was a stay at home mom and my sister is less than 2 years younger than me so it wasn't like she was busy corralling a toddler or working.
In grade 11 I started to get utis, I wasn't able to regularly take medication so I asked my mom for help, I didn't get it. I also was told to stop worrying so much when the symptoms returned and got worse instead of taking me to our family doctor. In grade 12 my depression got so bad I was starting to really struggle with my schoolwork, admittedly I exploded at my mother for not getting me any help for it and blaming her for it. I finally got medication for the last month of high school. I also got my wisdom teeth out that summer, that had been bothering me and my other teeth for years, I was ignored the entire time I was in recovery and criticized for needing more pain meds than my sister even though my surgery was more extensive(some of the teeth had started to erupt, fuse with my jaw bone, and were fully developed).
I was also told I had exactly $200 to apply to universities. Most applications cost $150-250, especially the better schools, so I applied to only 3 schools that I knew I could get into because the school I really wanted to go to I wasn't sure I'd get in and the application without tax was $200, later my parents claimed they never said this. I was also forbidden from getting any type of job to pay for my applications.
Now my sister whines about every problem she has, repeatedly, that have been going on for years with zero effort to try and fix them. I've suggested diagnoses from professionals to access resources, therapy, self help books, youtube channels, hell I even bought her multiple self help books that really helped me explicitly as a gift, I offered to pay for some sessions with a psychologist so she could get diagnosed. And shes says I manipulated her into hating our parents, I told her what happened to us, and me as kids, that was the whole "manipulation".
I'm so tired of them and their bs. I live a fair ways from them too. I still care for them which is frustrating because they make me feel like garbage everyone I'm around them. Anyways, thanks for reading my rant.

2024.05.29 06:29 Highwayman1717 Redoing all my emergency kits: Replacing Photons with better micro lights?

All my old kits had Photon Freedoms in some form, I freaking loved those things as a teenager. Flash forward to today, they’re still gorgeous and simple but I can’t responsibly keep one in a survival kit pouch or a medical kit.
I’m seeking the smallest possible lights that can run on a common cell that comes in lithium, that ideally can be attached to a headband or is itself a headlamp. Does NOT need to be powerfully bright, small size and simple usability before all else. AAA or AA, ideally.
Do I want a white LED? What about red for the runtime?

2024.05.29 06:29 Regular_Bee_5605 Thoughts on first day of taking brand name Concerta vs. Trigen generic: brand name releases much more smoothly, has a higher peak 8 hours in, and I expect will last 11 or 12 hours

For the trigen I'd typically reach this same peak at 5 hours in and it would last 8 or 9 hours in. But now with the brand name I both felt the initial release more quickly, it's been a smoother, more continuous ascending release, and just like the chart shows, I feel the peak amount of medication in my system now, 8 hours later, where over the next few hours it'll gradually decline.
Definitely seems like it's going to last the full 12 hrs as Jansenns chart shows, a few hours longer than Trigen's, and it's both more effective and more smooth in its release. Glad I got my doctor to write Dispense as Written. That OROS system does make a difference.

2024.05.29 06:26 InternalFun1121 Thoughts on magic system: biomancy

Hi :D, I made a crude first draft of my magic system. I don't like it very much, and I was wondering is it actually trash or am I overthinking it? HELP ME REDDIT.
Biomancy:
Part 1: Origin and Structure of Bio-Catalysts
●Origin of Bio-Catalysts ○Historical Background: - Ancient Mutation: Bio-Catalysts originate from a rare genetic mutation that has existed in humans for millennia. This mutation was dormant until recent scientific advancements enabled its activation. -Scientific Discovery: Modern scientists discovered these mutations and learned how to activate and harness them. This led to a new field of study: Biomancy.
○Activation Process: -Gene Therapy: The activation process involves advanced gene therapy, where specific sequences are targeted and stimulated to awaken the dormant Bio-Catalyst organ within the body. -Catalyst Trigger: Special chemicals or controlled environmental stimuli (like exposure to certain radiation frequencies) are used to trigger the growth and activation of the Bio-Catalyst.
●Structure of Bio-Catalysts
○Biological Makeup: -Specialized Cells: Bio-Catalysts are composed of unique cells that have properties not found in typical human cells. These cells can store and manipulate energy or matter. -Organ Integration: These organs are seamlessly integrated into the body’s systems, connecting to the circulatory, nervous, and lymphatic systems to draw energy and manage bodily functions.
○Types of Bio-Catalysts:
  1. Luminal Glands: -Location: Typically found near the adrenal glands. -Function: Absorb and store various forms of energy such as light, thermal, and kinetic. Release energy in controlled bursts.
2.Electro-Cores: -Location: Often located near the heart or the spinal cord. -Function: Generate and manipulate electrical energy, create electromagnetic fields.
3.Molecular Nodes: -Location: Scattered throughout the body, particularly in the hands and forearms. -Function: Manipulate molecular structures to alter states of matter or transmute elements.
4.Phantom Veins: - Location: Interwoven with the vascular system, primarily in the limbs. -Function: Allow the user to phase through solid objects by destabilizing molecular structure.
5.Chimera Cells: -Location: Distributed throughout the body, with high concentrations in the muscles. -Function: Enable temporary physical alterations, like growing wings or hardening skin.
6.Regenerative Core: - Location:Typically near the liver or the bone marrow. -Function: Accelerates cellular regeneration for rapid healing and recovery.
Part 2: Powers and Abilities
●Luminal Glands ○Energy Manipulation: 1. Light Manipulation: -Absorption: Absorb light energy from the environment, such as sunlight or artificial light sources. -Release: Emit concentrated light beams or create blinding flashes. -Applications: Can be used for illumination, blinding enemies, or focused laser-like attacks.
2.Thermal Manipulation: -Absorption: Absorb ambient heat from surroundings, cooling the area. -Release: Release stored thermal energy as intense heat waves or fireballs. -Applications: Heating objects, melting barriers, or creating thermal shields.
3.Kinetic Manipulation: - Absorption: Absorb kinetic energy from physical impacts. -Release: Discharge kinetic energy to enhance physical strikes or create shockwaves. -Applications: Enhance physical combat abilities, create forceful impacts, or kinetic shields.
○Electro-Cores Electricity Manipulation: 1.Generation: -Internal Dynamo: Continuously generates electrical energy. -Storage: Stores excess electrical energy for later use. -Applications: Power devices, create electric barriers, or unleash electric shocks.
2.Manipulation: -Control: Precisely control the flow and intensity of electrical currents. -Magnetism: Generate electromagnetic fields to manipulate metal objects. -Applications: Electromagnetic pulses to disable electronics, levitate metal objects, or create magnetic shields.
● Molecular Nodes ○Matter Transformation:
1.State Alteration: - Solid to Liquid/Gas: Change the state of materials by altering their molecular bonds. - Applications: Melt solid barriers, create fog or gas clouds for concealment, or harden liquids into solid forms.
2.Transmutation: - Elemental Change: Transmute elements by reconfiguring atomic structures. -Applications: Turn lead into gold, create new materials on the fly, or neutralize toxins by changing their composition.
●Phantom Veins Phase Manipulation: 1.Phasing: - Pass-Through: Temporarily destabilize own molecular structure to pass through solid objects. -Duration Control: Control the duration and extent of phasing. -Applications: Evade attacks, infiltrate secure locations, or escape restraints.
2.Intangibility: -Partial Phasing: Make specific body parts intangible while maintaining overall solidity. -Applications: Allow projectiles to pass through without harm, phase through walls, or grab objects within solid structures.
●Chimera Cells Physical Alteration: 1.Form Shifting: -Temporary Changes: Grow wings, claws, or other appendages for a limited time. -Applications: Flight, enhanced combat abilities, or specialized tools.
2.Defense and Adaptation: - Hardened Skin: Temporarily increase skin density to resist damage. -Enhanced Senses: Temporarily enhance senses such as sight, hearing, or smell. -Applications: Combat adaptation, environmental resistance, or sensory augmentation.
● Regenerative Core Healing and Recovery: 1.Rapid Healing: -Accelerated Regeneration: Heal wounds and recover from injuries at a rapid rate. -Applications: Quick recovery in battle, reduce downtime from injuries, or assist in healing others.
2.Enhanced Immunity: -Disease Resistance: Increased resistance to diseases and toxins. -Applications: Survive in hazardous environments, recover quickly from illnesses, or assist in detoxifying others.
Part 3: Activation Mechanism
●Energy Requirements ○Energy Sources: -Metabolic Energy: Primary energy comes from the user’s metabolism, necessitating increased caloric intake. -External Energy: Secondary sources include sunlight, electricity, or specific chemicals that can replenish energy stores.
○Energy Management: -Efficiency Training: Users learn to maximize efficiency, minimizing energy waste. -Recovery Periods: Regular rest and recovery periods are essential to prevent burnout and maintain peak performance.
○Control and Training Skill Development: -Basic Training: Initial training focuses on understanding the Bio-Catalyst’s basic functions and simple applications. -Advanced Techniques: Further training involves mastering complex abilities and combining different aspects of the Bio-Catalyst’s power.
○Focus and Precision: - Mental Discipline: Users must develop strong mental discipline to control their powers effectively. -Precision Exercises: Regular exercises to improve precision, such as target practice for energy projection or fine control for molecular manipulation.

2024.05.29 06:23 Oogalyboogalyer “The Descendent Of Thunder”Yuchirō Kashimo

Name: Yuchirō Kashimo

Age: 19
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 178 lbs

Appearance

Yuchirō is a tall, lean young man with a build that balances strength and agility. His black hair is wavy and short, often appearing tousled, complementing his sharp facial features. His cyan eyes are piercing and expressive, reflecting his playful yet intense nature. He wears a black hoodie with the sleeves perpetually rolled up, signaling his readiness for action at any moment. Paired with his hoodie, he sports jeans and sneakers, giving him a casual yet capable look.

Personality

Yuchirō is characterized by his playful and cocky demeanor. He thrives on the thrill of battle and seeks out strong opponents to test his abilities. His enjoyment of fighting often overshadows any sense of duty to protect others; he openly admits his indifference toward saving civilians or being a hero. Instead, he adheres to a belief in social Darwinism, valuing strength above all else. This philosophy drives him to constantly push his limits and prove himself against the strongest curses and sorcerers.

Backstory

Yuchirō's upbringing was steeped in the knowledge of curses and cursed energy, setting the stage for his current path. He describes his backstory as relatively uneventful, though it is later revealed that he is a descendant of the powerful sorcerer Hajime Kashimo. This lineage hints at his natural talent and potential, which he strives to live up to and surpass through his own efforts and battles.

Abilities

Cursed Technique: Electrical Siphon

Yuchirō's cursed technique, Electrical Siphon, allows him to convert various forms of energy around him into electricity. This ability is limited to vagabond energy—energy that is disconnected from its source—and cannot convert fundamental forces of nature or energy already tied to an element. The effective range of this technique is 10 feet. The complexity of the energy being converted determines the amount of effort and cursed energy required.
He primarily uses this ability by converting his own cursed energy, enabling him to manipulate electricity with precision and power. However, the conversion and control of electricity are energy-intensive processes, leading him to rely heavily on his extension technique, Charge.

Extension Techniques

Domain Expansion: Thunderous Hunting Grounds

Yuchirō's Domain Expansion, Thunderous Hunting Grounds, is currently unrefined. By forming the Indra Mudra, he opens his domain, allowing him to automatically absorb energies in his environment and channel them into powerful electrical attacks. However, due to its incomplete state, the domain lacks a barrier, making it less effective defensively but still formidable offensively.

Other Abilities

Equipment

Combat Style

Yuchirō's combat style revolves around his mastery of electricity and his ability to convert various forms of energy into powerful attacks. He uses his speed and agility, augmented by his Charge technique, to outmaneuver and overwhelm his opponents. His playful yet strategic approach to battle often catches adversaries off guard, allowing him to exploit their weaknesses with precision strikes. Yuchirō's lack of empathy and single-minded focus on becoming the strongest make him a relentless and unpredictable opponent, always seeking the next challenge to prove his dominance.

Goals and Ambitions

Driven by a desire for power and recognition, Yuchirō aims to be the strongest sorcerer and achieve the highest authority in the jujutsu world. His belief in social Darwinism fuels his ambition to conquer and dominate, seeing every battle as an opportunity to grow stronger and assert his superiority. Unconcerned with traditional values or the well-being of others, Yuchirō's path is one of self-interest and relentless pursuit of personal greatness.

2024.05.29 06:23 MinuteMedium5833 What you need to know before buying an ergonomic chair?

Hello folks, I have been using ergonomic chair and other smart furniture stuff for a while and just wanna share a bit of my experiences (and issues, too) when using these "ergo" thing so that anyone who's looking for a purchase can have a better reference. I also made a similar post for standing desk that you can check out here: https://www.reddit.com/StandingDesk/comments/1cu0tww/sharing_my_standing_desk_experiences_tips_fo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
So what should you consider when looking for a good ergonomic chair? While it's highly subjective and depending on each person's preferences and styles, I have summarized some bullet points that I believe lots of people will relate to:
  1. Seat padding & backrest quality should be top priority: because these 2 parts will affect 90% of your experience and feeling when you sit on the chair. For me there's 2 popular types of seat padding in the market right now: Cushion (or Foam) and Mesh. It's a short statement, high-quality mesh is more comfortable than a cushion since it's breathable (wich support better air flow and don't make you feel overheated when sitting during long hours). But it doesn't mean that cushion seat sucks. If a chair makers use a high-density foam and incorprate lots of memory foam (a material made from PU, and also used in mattress to enhance comfort) layers, then the outcome quality of the cushion can be comparable (to some extent) with a mesh seat as well. However, with a normal person it's not easy to check this info, and as far as I know, most of brands don't public these details (density specs and foam layer technology). So if I have to make a suggestion, going for a mesh seat would be an easier option. And if you still prefer the cushion seat, consider choosing reputational brand like Herman Miller or Harworth. About backrest, I highly recommend you go for the mesh materials. Leather backrest is not meant for ergonomic, it's meant for gaming and some specific office/home decoration style. Fabric backrest is not worthy to invest, even though it's fairly cheap. And design? for me a single-panel backrest design is enough, but there're some products that offer multi-panel backrest (like the Sihoo DORO S300) for even more customized positions - which is also good because it can perfectly adapt to your exact position and create a good form for your back. But be notice that it will cost you extra $100-$300, so if you have generous budget, go for it. if not, there is no problem at all with a single backrest design
  2. Lumbar support, armrests, and headrest are 3 core adjustability features that you need, anything else is optional. A luxury chair can offer up to 10 different adjustability points. More adjustability features mean more expensive the price is, so I recommend that you just focus on certain things that really matter to you, and for me there are 3 of them: lumbar support, headrest, and armrest. Lumbar support matters the most because it directly affect your spine and back posture. A good lumbar support is the one that's highly adjustable in different angles/position, and you can check this out on the spec info on the brand's website. Do not go for fixed lumbar support because you will never know if the size of the chair fits with your body or not. I would be really mad if I buy a chair just to find out that its lumbar can not adjust to fit my sitting position. With headrest & armrest it's more easy to decide. Headrest should at least be able to go up/down and tilt to adapt to your head's proper position. 3D to 5D armrests should be fine for me, and going from 3D to 5D totally depend on what you need. with 3D armrest, you can move it up/down, forward/backward, inward/outward; 4D armrests can rotate left/right, 5D ones can rotate vertically. You won't need to pay more for 6D armrest, unless you are a real hardcore gamer or have a specific task that require it (with normal use case, I don't think that most people will need 6D armrest on your chairs). Additionally, there's couple of things you need to notice about armrests & headrest design: armrest should be lockable because sometime you will find it really annoying when you try to focus on something and would need the armrest to just stay in same position. With headrest it's a bit similar, some low-quality made headrests can easily slide up and down when you sit even if you don't want to, which is very irritating. There're not best practice on how to avoid this, so I recommend you checking different actual user reviews of the chair you intent to buy.
  3. Price: A basic ergonomic chair usually ranges from $199 - $299. With this price you will have basic material (foam, tpe plastic...), basic adjustability, and you can't expect all features that I recommend above (I take price reference for US market only, and my opinion could be wrong in some markets). With a bit higher budget, like $399 - $499, there are quite lots of choices that check 90% of my recommendations. I can name some including Flexispot C7 (mesh seat, 2-panel mesh backset and even a footrest), Autonomous ErgoChair Pro (mesh backrest, high-quality cushion, but their lumbar only offer up/down adjustments, you can not tilt it or push it forward or backward), Branch Verve Chair (this one have a fabric back, not the mesh one, but one of my friend who use it said she has no problem with that, it's still comfy for her). That is just my personal opinion and you should always look for more actual reviews of them before you make any purchase. Regarding the high-end segments, it's no longer about the specs but about the look and feel of the products, as well as how trusted the brand is. You can spend around $1200 on a HM Aeron Chair and can just forget about this post, simply because at HM they put lots of efforts in R&D, and the outchair is already made from finest materials, huge adjustability features and more importantly, its design is unique (the impressive thing about HM is that you can actually go to their website and find out who created which products, like the HM Aeron Chair is created by a designer named Bill Stumpf). Other familiar brand names in this segments that you can take a look is Harthwork (not actually a different brand but like a collection under HermanMiller name), SteelCase...
TL;DR: Seat Pad & Backrest should be considered first, and go for highest possible quality for these parts. About adjustability, focus on 3 most important feature: lumbar support, 3D-5D armrests, adjustable headrest; Pricing: choose what suits your budget - a chair under $399 do not offer lots of premium features; a chair from 399 offer most of standard features and quality; if going above $1000 then care about brand's reputation

However, there were a few minor drawbacks as well. After my first use, I had a bit of trouble with the mounting system. Even though the included epoxy was effective in securing the cap, I faced some difficulty getting rid of captured air. Eventually, I found a workaround that involved leaving some of the glue-free while inserting the cap, but I wouldn't say it was ideal.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase of the Raymarine Cantilever Mounting Socket. It's a well-engineered product that delivers a rock-solid performance, and while it's priced a bit higher than some alternatives, it's worth it for the peace of mind it provides.

I recently had the chance to use the Shimano Altus CT91 Rear Cantilever Brake with Link Wire during a grueling mountain bike ride.

As a reviewer, I've been using the InstallerCCTV Universal Cantilever Wall Mount for my TV for quite some time now, and my experience with it has been nothing short of satisfying. Made of heavy-duty aluminum and steel, this mount is incredibly sturdy, providing reliable strength to hold up to 45 pounds, no matter the type of television I use.

Nonetheless, this minor inconvenience hasn't detracted from my overall positive experience with the InstallerCCTV Universal Cantilever Wall Mount.

2024.05.29 06:17 andrewbiochem Election result possibilities are even better than I thought

So here is the sweetest thing. The cannabis supporting ANC is being challenged and may lose majority, but that may actually be great for cannabis and speed up the timeline to recreation, because now it appears a hard-left coalition will be formed, by the EFF or uMkhonto weSizwe Party. All newly proposed coalitions support legalization even for recreational use. The president's choice to codify cannabis legalization today put the lane up for regulated industry with medical and recreational sales, moving the ANC on this issue to possibly keep majority.
So the outcomes of the Wednesday election will be either great news or very great news, with a lower risk of downside than I first assumed considering the ANC majority being threatened. Getting ready to adjust my timeline.

2024.05.29 06:15 Ityoluckyday Is it realistic for me to get into UNC Chapel Hill?

I am currently looking into UNC Chapel Hill and how it has a multitude of opportunities for people looking into biochem or pharm
I wanted to know how likely my acceptance would be as I am unsure I meet a good standard for the college. I posted my most notable or concerning information below:
Out of State Application
GPA: 3.7 unweighted, 4.4 weighted
Class Rank: 45/85
SAT: 1520
ACT: 34
A few extracurricular achievements like two minor club leaderships, state swim, all state orchestra, multiple medical internships/shadowing.
I was mostly concerned about my GPA and class rank as it is below the current accepted average. To explain the below average class rank, I go to a fairly competitive school where by senior year we take 12 AP classes and have around 15 valedictorians (4.0 GPA) each year. With these stats would it be considerable for me to apply for fall 2025 UNC Chapel Hill?

2024.05.29 06:14 TuhsEhtLlehPu Why does the art in mh3 seem to be higher quality than what we get in standard sets?

Is this just coincidence? Mh3 art seems of MUCH higher quality than what we usually getin standard set releases.
More textured, interesting, less of that generic corporate look.
is this deliberate? Because its a 'premium' set?

Ancient History

Growing up, I was always pretty active and started running in High School. Going into my Junior year, I began to take running much more seriously and made steady progress with a 5K PR of 17:06 at the State meet. Going into my Senior year, I had been training 6 days a week with the team and hitting 40-60 miles a week consistently with hopes of going low 16's by the end of the XC season. Then, disaster. Pain in my quads was getting worse and worse until a bone scan finally revealed bilateral femoral stress fractures - one midway along the midline of each femur. I was devastated, and completely stopped running from August until February. By then, it seemed like things were getting better and I was able to put in some good miles for the spring Track season. I was always a better mid-distance runner, and was able to snag a few PRs of 2:00 in the 800m (agony, 1s off) and 4:35 in the 1600m. By that point I was basically over running, completely burned out and sick of running.
10 years later...
I wake up one morning in April of 2017 to take a shower and realize that I have no temperature sensation in my right leg whatsoever. I'm now finishing grad school, I've moved across the country, first kid on the way and due in a matter of weeks. I'm not working out much at this point, maybe running every few months at best. Stress is high. I go to urgent care and the last 6 months of subtle pins and needles on the left side of my face and the occasional double vision start to make a lot more sense. Multiple Sclerosis. It's not a death sentence, but I felt like the world was ending. My kid was due in 4 weeks and now my future was completely uncertain. A month or two, an MRI and one spinal tap later and the diagnosis is confirmed.

Training

Fortunately, new medicines have made MS much more manageable and I was lucky to have a great medical team. Perhaps the most important thing to keep the disease in check beyond highly potent immunosuppressants is regular exercise. Time to start running again.
Starting out was rough, but within a few weeks I was able to feel ok running 15-20 miles a week in the 8-10 min/mile range. I keep that up consistently for a year or so and run my first 10K with a time of 44:42, which I was pretty proud of at the time. Things are going well for a while, second kid is on the way, my MS seems mostly stable, albeit leaving me with some permanent loss of function of my left leg (these gait issues will come up later), pins and needles in my right leg, and fatigue. Then COVID hits. Now I'm at home, with much more time. I increase my mileage a bit, now running 20-30 miles a week but not really following any particular plan or anything. Move across country, keep running when I can.
Mid-2023 I decided to finally take it up a level. I was mostly using the Garmin Daily Workouts at this point and running consistently 30 miles a week. I decided to run my first half-marathon, just as a virtual training run, and felt pretty good about my time with an 8:24/mi average pace. Going into fall, I juggled some illnesses but kept running. Unfortunately around November I started to develop Sesamoiditis and had to really limit my running to 35-40 miles per week. I ran a Christmas 5K with a time of 19:14, which felt pretty good, but was still dealing with the Sesamoid issue.
Over time, the Sesamoid started to resolve but I would occasionally feel some twinges in my right Adductor. Nevertheless, I felt like the time was now to try for my first Marathon. Around February, I finally committed and decided to do the Pfitz 12/55 plan. I had been consistently in the 35-40 range for a few months, so felt like I had a decent base. At first, I found the plan quite difficult to deal with. It was the most structured running I had done since high school, but after a while my schedule adapted and I was hitting all of the workouts. About halfway through, the Adductor issue started to really rear its ugly head. It seems like it's a combination of gait issues from my MS as well as compensating for the weakened Sesamoid. I attempted to strength train, but had to back off a bit.
At best, I was able to hit 53 miles a week, occasionally having to skip some workouts for cross-training or rest. I felt like I nailed the 20 mile runs pretty well and overall the LRs felt good. I ran one 5K as a kind of "tune-up" with a time of 19:21, pacing a friend, so putting in maybe 80-90% effort. Due to injuries and some travel I was never able to do one of the longer tune-up races. Unfortunately, the Adductor issue continued to wax and wane, finally flaring up badly about 3 weeks out from my target marathon. After a consultation with Ortho, I was told to stop running cold turkey for two weeks prior to the Marathon, and then a follow-up last Friday I was given the green light to try it ... cautiously ... but consider dropping out if it is too painful.

Pre-Race

My taper was compromised pretty heavily by the injury, so I was really feeling worried about how the race would go. That said, I knew that the training was done at this point, and so an extended rest shouldn't make TOO much of an impact if I feel ready. I carb-loaded three days out and tried to take on a lot of fluids. While my injury was feeling better, the next worry was the temperature. Forecast was saying low 60s for the start of the race, ramping up to the mid 70s by the time I expected to finish. We drove up to Burlington from the Boston area on Friday with the kids, and I likely did too much walking on Saturday but overall I was feeling ok and was fortunate to get a good amount of sleep Saturday night (7.5hrs).
I'm a scientist by training, so planning and preparation is second nature to me. I woke up at 4:45, had a cup of coffee, half a bagel, a banana, and a Maurten 160 drink. Because of the temperature, I decided to prepare two 500mL bottles of Tailwind, one that I would take with me and one that I would pickup from my wife at the Half point. I planned for 4 gels (Maurten@5mi, Gu@10mi, Maurten+Caf@15mi, Maurten@20) and to get a cup of water at every aid station each 2.5mi. I jogged down to the start at 6:15am, used the restroom probably 4 times, and lined up with the 3:30 group.

Race

My plan was to start out with the 3:30 pacer group and see how things go. The course is advertised as being flat and fast, but I'm not sure I believe that because there is a big hill you run up twice with 120ft of vert over about 1/2 mile and between 5-7% grade at times. The course is essentially two figure 8s, and you start in the middle. At 7:15am, we took off. The first few miles felt a bit stiff, but I was chatting it up with the pacers and feeling pretty relaxed. We were going a bit ahead of pace, clocking in at 7:50 per mile for the first 4-5 miles. Around the 10K mark, I was feeling a bit antsy and the pace was slowing down...I decided to head off alone, despite a lot of reservation that I was making a poor decision.
Around Mile 9, I was starting to feel a bit of tightness in my legs and my HR was in the high 160s. I was a little bit concerned about this early fatigue, but I knew from my training that I feel like this on almost every single run and it doesn't really seem to get worse, it just seems to be part of my mechanics or something. I kept pushing on, mile after mile, keeping my pace pretty consistently. Every aid station I got a cup of water, drank some and splashed the rest on my head. This made a HUGE difference in the end.
Mile 13, came in at the Half feeling great. Started up one of the hills and saw my wife. *Disaster* she had the wrong bottle. No carbs, no Tailwind for the 2nd half, and my current bottle was empty. At this point, I had also been taking my gels early. My stomach was feeling great so instead of a gel at every 5th mile I was taking one at every 4. The race provided gels at mile 8 and mile 21, so I had picked up an extra gel by this time and made the decision to stop at the next aid station around mile 15 and fill up my bottle with Gatorade. Salvation.
Kept chugging along, feeling a bit of fatigue setting in around the slog from mile 16-19. At mile 19, I saw my wife again and she had the correct bottle (it was my fault, she thought I meant for her to give me a larger, recovery bottle I had prepared of Skratch for after the race). I got my bottle of Tailwind and hit the monster hill at Mile 20. This was my slowest mile at 8:15 (GAP of 7:40) and it really sapped my strength. I was thinking that this must be like running Heartbreak Hill the entire time I was going up.
Through the hill, into the last 10K. Starting to feel desperate, just pushing forward every step of the way. The pacing in this marathon is quite strange, because it also has a Relay of either 2-person or 4-person teams, so you're always seeing different people with way fresher legs than you. Ended up finding a woman to run with who was crushing it, and we paced eachother the last 3-4 miles. Took a last gel around 24 miles and grinded it out to the end.

Berlin next... then Boston?

Post-race, I was feeling pretty happy with my 3:26 time. To be honest, I felt a little anti-climactic, although I'm not entirely sure why. I didn't feel a ton of adrenaline or emotion throughout the race and things seemed pretty collected. That said, I'm pretty surprised at how much I loved almost every minute of the race itself. Maybe it was just because it was my first time, but it was truly a fun and rewarding experience.
I think there were a few areas where I could have pushed just slightly harder, but given it was my first marathon on a somewhat challenging course in the heat I'm overall happy with my time. I absolutely nailed my hydration/fueling and my pacing, with a slightly negative split overall, so I'm really pleased with that. As a whole, I'd give my training cycle maybe a 6/10; I think I definitely raced too many of my training runs, likely leading to some of my injuries. I was also only able to go above 50mpw in 2 of the 12 weeks of the program.
Given my somewhat poor training cycle, I'm hoping that I still have a lot of room to improve. I was a bit worried that my MS would cause issues during the marathon, particularly my left leg, which tends to lose coordination in long, higher intensity efforts. Fortunately, it felt pretty good throughout.
Earlier in the year, I was lucky to get a spot for both Berlin and NYC. Given their proximity to each other, I'm going to try and defer NYC to next year. I've now been thinking through if I want to try and apply to Boston for 2025. Given my MS, I am technically eligible for an "adaptive" application, which has a cutoff time of 6:00. I feel in two minds about this, because on one hand I feel like I'm maybe taking a bit of the easy way out, when it might be possible for me to hit sub-3:05 some day. On the other hand, I don't know how many years I have left running so I'm thinking I might just seize the opportunity now and then try and qualify through the more "standard" way in the future. Curious on people's thoughts on this, and thanks for reading!

2024.05.29 06:10 GeometryDash_Gamer AS Characters Worst to Best

AS Characters Worst to Best
Previous posts: TDI, TDA, WT, ROTI
AS Character Ranking
15: Mal (El Mal Villano) - Yeah this guy is bad, but…not in the way the narrative wants us to see him. While he's not my personal least favorite villain, he is worse in the sense that we are supposed to take him seriously and see him as the 'ultimate' evil. And his downfall is the worst in the series without a doubt. As for his actual run as a villain, while his schemes are conceptually better than Island Heather, the dude makes himself way too obvious to be believable. And a handful of characters drop many IQ points for him to stay hidden as long as he does, Cameron having it especially bad. It’s also absolutely ridiculous that he did nothing upon being aware Mike is on the loose inside their brain, which makes me think maybe his stupidity was just contagious to others. Credit where it's due, he has his good moments and some occasional schemes that actually hit the mark for me. I also really like his voice, and he is surprisingly hilarious at times, both ironically and unironically. But no amount of boat noises, scaring Chris, mockingly imitating Mike in the confessional, or how funny the sheer stupidity behind some of his lies are, can make up for his god-awful writing and how much the season suffers as a result
14: Mike (Multiple Problems) - I could've just ranked him and Mal in one. But they are both terrible in separate ways that need more explanation to fully cover. On Mike's end, on top of being an objectively undeserving winner from a gameplay standpoint, his story is just depressingly bad in every way. His journey throughout his brain is underwhelming, save for a few amusing moments mostly from his alters. And he ironically doesn't get much focus despite being the most important character of the season. Especially not helping is that his development of learning to be more honest about his MPD in Revenge of the Island gets regressed here, and the plot requires him becoming brain-dead for Mal to gain complete control. Though I wouldn't be so hard on him if he actually learned from his mistakes like in Revenge. But as it stands, he learns nothing, everything works out ideally for him, and his plot concludes in a way that just all-around reeks of garbage storytelling. I wouldn't consider him one of the most infuriating characters, but there’s just very little I actually like about him. He is boring for most of his screen-time and fails as a protagonist on so many levels. And in some cases, a depressing character is worse than an infuriating one, especially given how important he wound up being to what was supposed to be the 'ultimate' season. The one thing I can actually give him credit for is that he had a good performance in a couple of challenges. Though beyond that, this season was a big fall-from-grace for him
13: Sierra (Codysexual) - At her worst, she sucks balls, and I think we all know why. Her obsession with Cody is incredibly cringe and unfunny, and the Camcody plot is especially cancerous with zero purpose of existing. With that said, she actually has some occasional moments I like, and she is surprisingly really good in episode 5 in particular. I also don't find her lows to be as bad as her World Tour incarnation. Though while she has more positives than most people give her credit for, I don't think Sierra's characterization here was anything either her fans or criticizers wanted
12: Jo (The Shot We All Wish Wasn't Cannon) - Jo had a promising start in the first episode, only for her remaining two episodes to turn her into an even bigger egotistical dumbass than she ever was in Revenge. Not only does she learn absolutely nothing from her mistakes, but she makes one of the stupidest challenge blunders in the history of Total Drama, yet has the gall to think she's still superior to her teammates. Her and Aleheather fighting for an alliance with Gwen was cool and made for some good comedy, but even then, it was very short-lived. And overall, her characterization here was just insulting and disappointing
11: Sam (Justice Against Gamer-phobia) - While the general premise of Sam being in this season was questionable, it could've worked…had they actually utilized him in any way. But as it stands, the dude does barely anything besides being a boring pain-magnet who is amusing in select moments at best, only for the one noteworthy moment he has to lead to a huge ass-pull that happened under completely nonsensical reasoning. Though I suppose in a way, his treatment in his elimination episode prepared us for what was yet to come. Speaking of which...
10: Duncan (The Flip and Flop #1) - All-Stars had the grounds to be one of Duncan's best seasons. But instead, he wound up being a painfully inconsistent mess with an exceptionally terrible sendoff to boot. Throughout Gwuncan, he repeatedly fluctuates between being nice and supportive to Gwen, and being an ignorant dumbass who for some reason tries to get Courtney's attention again (and not just in "Moon Madness" either). It's such an insulting direction to take him given he was clearly tired of her before and only came back to All-Stars for Gwen. And even in the context that he didn't truly get over Courtney, it never gets capitalized on and just makes him agonizingly stupid and pathetic. The premise of his nice-guy schtick is also dumb and makes him come off as an annoying crybaby. And while it had episodes where it worked a lot better, even the better aspects of it (i.e. his friendship with Zoey and any potential he had with his past history with Mal) get absolutely squandered in favor of making him lose every last brain cell he ever had, culminating in one of the worst sendoffs in the series and rendering his entire run in All-Stars worthless. I tried to like and defend Duncan this season. And afterall, it's Duncan so I'll always find things to like about him. But his flaws are far too glaring to look past. I don't think the writers had any idea what they wanted to do with him here. And the fact his portrayal repeatedly flip-flops between a likable and interesting character and a pathetic loser with zero self-awareness, makes him painful to watch. And given he's one of my favorite characters, it only makes this iteration all the more devastating...
9: Courtney (The Flip and Flop #2) - Also rather hit-or-miss even outside of her elimination episode, which completely assassinates her character. Courtney was just plain unlikable for no reason during her time on the heroes team, with not even a good challenge-performance to back it up. However, she got quite better during her time on the villains team. Not to mention, her moving on from Duncan and learning to just ignore him was nice. The less said about her friendship with Gwen, the better. Though her romance with Scott was surprisingly cute. And even if Mal came in and ruined it in the form of the godawful Cameron x Courtney plot, it just made me feel bad for her on her end. But of course her elimination episode wiped its filthy ass with anything good she had going for her, by putting great emphasis on her worst qualities and amplifying them by 100, all in favor of mercilessly trashing on her. It's almost scary how similar her and Duncan are regarding how they were treated in All-Stars, from the writers having no idea what to do with them, to both having the most insulting send-offs in Total Drama history. They both had potential to develop for the better, only for it to be completely thrown away. But like Duncan, it doesn't mean there weren't some good things about her
8: Cameron (From a Badass…to a Dumbass) - Yet another character who falls victim to some of Total Drama's worst cases of character assassination during his elimination episode. But compared to Duncan and Courtney, he didn't have any significantly bad moments beforehand, plus still had some cool moments. Him using Scott as shark-bait in episode 8 was an interesting morally-gray moment, and a really cool strat that almost got him out of last place in the challenge. It's a shame his elimination episode completely forgets about his intelligence and even strips away all his senses of basic human decency during the Cameron x Courtney plot. Admittedly, he wasn't consistently remarkable beforehand. And narratively, he does rather little despite being one of the first people to catch onto Mal. Nonetheless, he still had his good moments for me
7: Scott (The Farm-boy Buffoon) - Despite his personality change, I still find Scott pretty enjoyable at his best. It’s nice that he mellowed out, and his goofy side is endearing, coupled with some especially hilarious moments. On top of that, we get some pretty nice insight on his outside life. His romance with Courtney was surprisingly cute initially. Though unfortunately, he doesn’t stick out very consistently for me. And while his new strategy of laying low and having a better social game is valid, it’s not really capitalized on, and the strategic side of him barely gets touched on beyond his few attempts to find the immunity totem. To make matters worse, he got painfully dumbed down at times for the sake of Mal, and even left a sour last impression in his elimination episode for that reason. While he is one of the better parts of late All-Stars, he still leaves a lot to be desired
6: Gwen (Better Friend than Girlfriend) - While Gwen was always flawed writing-wise, this is the one season where her portrayal is genuinely problematic. She acts crappy to Duncan and Courtney on multiple occasions yet gets victimized compared to them. Her romance- I mean friendship with Courtney is super forced and cringe, and showcases both of them coming out on top over Duncan, even though all three did wrong in the Love Triangle. At least that’s until Courtney’s heel-turn down the line happens and ends with Gwen herself coming out on top, and finally “escaping her toxic relationships and ending the season with better friends while both Duncan and Courtney suffer”. There are so many things wrong with this narrative. Though even then…these aforementioned flaws didn't take up that much of Gwen’s character for me. She still has a handful of good moments outside of Duncan and Courtney. Her friendships with Cameron and Zoey are both wholesome and really brought out her more likable qualities. Besides this, she still has plenty of individual moments I like. She’s especially amazing in episode 9 in particular. All things considered, Gwen is still a good but very flawed character this season, and I get why some dislike her. Though I think All-Stars has some of her best highs in a while (besides the Action special)
5: Lindsay (The Smartest Character of the Season) - It says a lot that the very first boot manages to crack more than the half-way spot up this list. Lindsay still has some especially funny jokes, and her characterization is honestly not as bad as some people make it out to be. Her stupid moment was only a one-scene joke that was followed up with her doing the challenge. Plus, I can at least meme and argue that she just acted dumb on purpose to quit the competition, which is based given how disastrous this season turned out at its worst. And it was even implied she wanted to leave at some points. While I wouldn't unironically call her the smartest character of the season, I think she is still funny and leaves relatively unharmed compared to other characters
4: Lightning (Sha-larious Early Boot) - Despite lasting for only two episodes, the dude really delivered. I'd argue he's even funnier here than in Revenge, his pre-recorded message to Jo being my favorite joke from him yet. The only disappointing thing about him is that his background with his dad didn't get expanded on at all, which even then, ties more to "What could've been" rather than an actual characterization flaw. He's easily the least scathed in a season full of terrible writing, and was a hilarious early-season presence. You especially gotta love his badass challenge performance in episode 1
3: Zoey (Warm and Competent) - I'll admit, she didn't have much of an arc, and her obliviousness to Mal gets increasingly hard to defend as the season goes on. She was also occasionally over-powered to an annoying degree (mainly episode 3). But she still has many great attributes. She made for a surprisingly good team leader and performed well in challenges, pulling some especially cool feats. Though on top of that, she was incredibly kind and tried to see the best in everyone. And both her performance and kindness made her incredibly likable and easy to root for. She had great interactions with multiple people outside of Mike, most notably Duncan, Gwen, and even Courtney sometimes. In fact, had the season did the conclusion of the Love Triangle more justice, Zoey would've been the perfect character to help the three patch things up. All things considered, I find her a deserving winner. And despite her flaws, she’s one of the better parts of the season and a great protagonist for All-Stars standards
2: Heather (The Afterglow of a Queen Bee) - Sure she kind of goes back to being mean, and her taking pride in her villainy doesn’t make much sense when you take the World Tour finale into consideration. Though at least she isn’t as bitchy as she was in Island. Her relationship with Alejandro is still just as fun as ever and sometimes brings out her nicer side. Plus, their feelings for each other even get expanded on nicely in the finale. And all things considered, she’s not that bad in her elimination episode, despite being questionable at one point. Also, "Nice Heather" was an absolute treasure (rhyme not intended)
1: Alejandro (Diamond in the Dump) - Amidst a season that screwed over many characters, Alejandro is the biggest highlight. Even then, his elimination episode made him look weirdly weaker than usual at some points. And he maybe could've done more with his schtick of pretending his legs are still asleep. But while not the absolute least scathed as a whole, he was the least scathed as well as one of the most interesting characters that lasted through the merge. Put in a somewhat similar position to Action Heather, he was forced to rely on just his skills to get as far as he did with no one trusting him anymore. And as I said, Aleheather was still very fun this season. Their back-and-forth dialogue made for a lot of entertaining moments, and I really enjoyed watching them play mind-games with each-other throughout. Despite this, they also had some sweet moments and proved to genuinely care for each-other. In addition to this, it was very satisfying seeing him stand up to his older brother. His rivalry with Mal also had some really cool moments, especially on Alejandro's behalf. And it was a rare interaction where Mal actually had more struggles and didn't consist of Alejandro being entirely dumbed down, even if Mal came out on top in the end. While his highs aren't as good as his World Tour iteration, I think All-Stars was a nice progression for Alejandro in some ways, and further proved that you can involve the guy in just about anything and make it interesting

2024.05.29 06:09 The_Sodomeister A different take on Mech Warrior

I've hit legend with Mech Warrior twice now, but the second list takes a very different form than the first. Admittedly, the first time wasn't "dominant" by any stretch, I just played a lot of games with a slightly-over 50% winrate. This new deck was a much easier coast to legend, and it felt much higher powered both in terms of deck strength and meta positioning. So this writeup will of course be dedicated to the second and current iteration of the deck.

Card choices

My absolute most favorite thing about this deck right now is the crazy amount of synergistic cards. Tons of packages come together, with shared synergies and complementary strengths. There are even other packages I tried in other iterations (riffs, armor gain, excavate, etc) which didn't make my cut, but still have definite potential in alternate lists.

Mech package

Frequency Oscillator, Zilliax, Boom Wrench, Testing Dummy, Containment Unit, Inventor Boom
I don't run any tutors for the combo pieces, and haven't needed them. You almost always end up with a wrench + Testing Dummy by ~turn 7 with the amount of draw in the deck, and the deck has lots of survivability in the meantime.
Instrument Tech just felt bad as a 2 drop, particularly for tutoring as weapon that doesn't have any real standalone value or immediate impact. The deck ran way smoother when I just relied on regular draw to dig for pieces.
I'm iffy on Containment Unit. The deathrattle isn't game winning, and the magnetic ability isn't useful very often. Though it's ridiculous to magnetize onto a Testing Dummy and proccing both deathrattles twice with the Boom Wrench. But that's a rare hit, and the deck often wins on its own without really needing Containment Unit. It's the best of the other "big mech" options, but it's worth experimenting with other utility cards instead.

Taunt package

Tar Slime, Unlucky Powderman, Backstage Bouncer (+ Dummy & Zilliax)
Fantastic stabilization against aggro and decent protection against OTKs. Backstage Bouncer also sucks up a ton of removal that suddenly isn't available for your stronger turn 6-8 plays. Backstage Bouncer also turns your weaker drops (Tar Slime, Oscillator, Greedy Partner) into valid threats.
I've flirted with the draw-2-taunts card - who doesn't love a good 2 mana draw 2? - but honestly you're usually looking to draw other stuff when you're really in a pinch. The other draw options were generally more impactful.

Draw package

Needlerock Totem, Gold Panner, Roaring Applause
Since we don't run tutors for our combo pieces, the draw really helps getting set up with whatever is needed for the current match. Digging for taunts and clears vs aggro; digging for executes vs tall minions; etc.
Roaring applause is a pretty interesting card with a surprising amount of hits in this deck. Mechs, elementals, totems, and undead.

Execute package

Sanguine Depths, Execute, Garrosh's Gift
This package is the most surprising performer and became a staple in all my Warrior decks. It was a necessity when Warlocks were running rampant, and still helps vs the assortment of giants and buffed minions that are still seeing play now. Cheap single removal never feels too bad.
Sanguine Depths is such a versatile location, and 3 procs for 1 mana is absurd value in a deck with strong survivability like this one.
I've tried replacing Garrosh's gift with Blast From the Depths (and adding Kobold Miners for a full excavate set), but the versatility of Garrosh's gift just felt more impactful. I wouldn't be surprised if an optimal version made room for the excavate package though; the ox is another ridiculous power swing for this deck.

Other card choices

Greedy partner: accelerates your combos by a turn. This can be the difference maker way more often than you might think. It allows Wrench on 4 into Testing Dummy on 5, sometimes even allowing the mini weapon if you have another coin or the Oscillator discount.

Omissions

More Board clears - the deck can generally put enough minions on the board to contest whatever your opponent has. The goal isn't to save up for one big combo turn. The goal is to apply midgame pressure and then pull off something backbreaking once you have sucked up your opponent's resources. Essentially, the goal is to outlast your opponent's board clears, instead of worrying about your own.
Riffs - the deck wants more minions early, and can't wait for 5 mana to start getting minions on board. The 1 and especially 3 mana riffs don't cut it.
Armor - your best defense is a bit of offense, and these cards are generally zero offense. Part Scrapper is pretty bad without Safety Goggles, as otherwise you're basically spending 4 mana to save 5 mana later (not great). Meanwhile, these cards eat up your draw, while you're looking to draw impactful or combo pieces.
Excavate - this is probably the closest package that deserves to make the cut. Replacing Executes or Garrosh's gift with Blast Charge, and then replacing another 2 drop with Kobold Miner. It was stronger when Pain Warlock was rampant, since you needed the Blast Charges to handle the giants. Now, they're more likely to sit dead, or get wasted on low-impact minions for the sake of the excavate. Also, the flexibility of Garrosh's Gift is hard to quantify, but quite often you're actually going for Shield Block.

Playstyle

The deck is surprisingly capable of keeping early presence to match aggro, while having enough mid and late game threats to pressure control decks.
The deck has a lot of 2 drops, so you often have to make some awkward choices through turns 2-4. Finding ways to get multiple procs off a single totem / gold panner can be incredibly important. And against aggro, these can basically soak up your opponent's attacks to protect your face.
It is not always better to proc both weapons on the same turn. Sometimes you should swing the 3 attack weapon and save the mini for a subsequent combo. Aggro sometimes doesn't even kill the Testing Dummy, allowing the same proc next turn.

Mulligan

Matchup dependent.
