Okay so either this is one of those things in life where I realize that I’m getting older, or the situation is ACTUALLY out of control. I’m thinking it’s a bit of both, leaning more towards the out of control side, about 70/30.
Look, I’m only 29. So in the grand scheme of things, I’m not THAT old. But here’s the thing. I love JAI. But my fucking absolute Christ, the amount of zoomer dumb ass nonsensical weird ass pointless bots made by zoomer dumb ass nonsensical weird ass pointless kids is actually infuriating. Seeing 10 different Captain Price bots (FOR WHAT LITERAL REASON EVERYONE IS SO OBSESSED WITH THIS RANDOM VIDEO GAME CHARACTER FROM 2009 I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE BUT ITS SO FUCKING WEIRD AND IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING MAD BECAUSE HALF THE ZOOMERS THAT MAKE THOSE BOTS DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT 1V1 INTERVENTIONS ONLY NO SLEIGHT OF HAND PRO ON RUST TRICKSHOT FROM TOWER LAST KILL EVEN MEANS AND IT SHOWS) and then trying to scroll past that and running into 10 more Alastor and Lucifer Morningstar bots (NO clue what the actual fuck those characters are from and I know googling it will just make me cringe off the face of the earth), and trying to scroll past all those too and then running into weird ass random tiktoker or YouTubers that no one’s literally ever heard of who make videos about shit no one literally cares about, only to maybe finally find a bot I’m interested in, only to try and read its description that’s like 1,000 paragraphs long having absolutely nothing to do with the bot itself, but instead being a 1,000 paragraph tantrum written by some 10 year old kid (you can tell) who forgot to strap on his crash helmet and take his meds this morning, followed by him @‘ing all his little friends that no one knows or will ever even see. I honestly can’t be the only one here who thinks JAI needs an anti-zoomer filter PRONTO, right? ……guys?

In George Orwell’s Animal Farm which is on the subject of the existence of a society of animals living on the Manor Farm. One first thinks that this novel is about the animals living in a farm from the title. But as the story goes on, it gradually begins to make the readers understand the depth content of the workings of society in Communist Russia. George has accurately compared the society of human to the animals to the animals living in the Manor Farm. In this novel, author has compared the Russian revolution, where animals represent the significant personage and act as the leaders in the Russian Community. Animals are used to demonstrate the operation of the communist class system and how the citizens(people) respond to this and the effect of the leadership by early Russian leaders such as Stalin on the behavior of the people of Russia. For instance, the Old Major makes the speech to other animals about the idea of revolution. Since he dies before the beginning of the revolution, it could be compared to the Karl Marx, whose ideas set to the Communist revolution in motion. The seven commandments are consider as one of the important step in the revolution which changed by the rulers of the Farm. This paper talks about how the seven commandments were altered during throughout the story and whether it reflects the message of the Communist Manifesto.
After the rebellion took place in Manor Farm, it changed to Animal Farm where the set of laws was introduced to the citizens of the farm by the leaders. The set of laws which are known as The Seven Commandment are said to be “form an unalterable law by which all animals on Animal Farm must live forever after.”(Orwell) These Commandments were so important that they were painted by Snowball and Squealer “in giant white letters that could be read from thirty yards away.”(Orwell) The original Seven Commandments ran as:

1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall sleep in a bed
4. No animal shall drink alcohol.
5. No animal shall kill other animal.
6. No animal shall wear clothes.
7. All animals are equal.

These commandments were to be followed by all the animals living on the farm at all times regardless. As one can think from the reading, the simplest phrase that explains these commandments is “Four legs good, two legs bad.” As time passed by, the commandments were altered by the rulers of the farm. Napoleon (the pig who emerges as the leader of Animal Farm after rebellion) who very cleverly broke the commandment and reintroduced as “four legs good, two legs are better” Even though the first two commandments state that anyone on two legs is bad and should not be allowed in the farm, they were wracked in the first year. Since the pigs started walking on two legs, the first commandment was violated and more over, the hero of the Battle of the Cowshed, Snowball turned into an enemy of the Farm as he was thrown out by Napoleon and allowing trading through Mr. Whymper resulting in violation of commandments .
The pigs moved back in to the farm house which result into alteration of the first commandments. The third commandment restricts animals of the farm to sleep in the bed which was forced to change by Napoleon with the modification of the commandment by adding “with sheets.” After the rebellion took place in the farm, the first commandment overruled which was being “all animals equal.” As we read thru out the story the pigs were keep on changing the “unalterable laws” for their comfort just like we saw above with sleeping in the bed. According to Napoleon, sleeping on beds is not a major change yet it was not allowed earlier since humans lived on the farm slept on the bed. The pigs changed the commandment so wisely that the other animals of the farm didn’t think as the violation of the commandment.
The next commandment to change is “No animal shall kill other animal”. This happens not long after the confessions and executions of animals on the farm that were supposed traitors and in league with Snowball. After these executions, again Muriel, Clover and also Benjamin plus some other animals felt this did not square with this commandment. Once again, the pigs have changed the Commandments in order to justify their actions. The animals read the Commandment they though did not agree, “No animal shall kill other animal without cause”, and then the animals see how really the Commandments had not been violated.
The next commandment to change is when Napoleon abuses his power and made life harder for other animals. The pigs impose more control while reserving privileges for themselves. Squealer justifies every statement Napoleon makes, even the pigs’ alteration of the Seven Commandments of Animalism. “No animal shall drink alcohol” is changed to “No animal shall drink alcohol to excess” when the pigs discover the farmer’s whisky.
One would never think that pigs ever made change to the commandment about the clothes as they were enough powerful to rule other animals. The seventh commandment explains that all animals in the world are treated equally without distinction. Instead of considering the commandments as “unalterable laws,” they were replaced by worthless slogan “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others,” which is totally opposite to with what they were introduced to other animals.
Orwell has used images to make his argument stronger. He has used events to help readers to understand his thoughts. While reading, we develop a feeling of sadness inside getting attach emotionally to the story. Orwell writes in a way to targets readers emotions because they have the ability to experience and feel the pain suffered by the animals in the farm. The following scene could create a strong sorrow to the readers “So Napoleon, with the help of his dogs, slaughters anyone who is said to be disloyal. The tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon’s feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones.” To top it off, Napoleon outlaws Beasts of England, which had served as one of the only remaining ties between Animal Farm and old Major?” (Orwell 65).

In conclusion, it is clear that George Orwell intended his novel to allegorically represent the figures and events of the Russian Revolution, and through the characters of Mr. Jones as Czar Nicholas, Old Major as Karl Marx, and Napoleon as Joseph Stalin, Animal Farm makes a profound statement regarding the abuse of power. The animals began their revolution with the best intentions. However, their noble ideas of a utopian society where “all animals are created equal” gradually deteriorated into a totalitarian state with a cruel and unjust dictator which, of course, mirrors the chain of events that turned Marx’s dream of a classless society into the nightmare of Stalin’s ruthless regime. This evil cycle of rebellion, power, and then corruption is best described by Barbara Tuchman: “Every successful revolution puts on in time the robes of the tyrant it has deposed.”

First time reading this author. It wasn’t super exciting for me at the start, had to trudge through until “Ballad of Simon and Eleanor” which was where things really picked up.
I liked a lot of things about this book. The inclusion of Kat into the plot at the end was really good. I liked the whimsical fairy tales, especially Simon and Eleanor and how their story panned out, despite everything that happened.
I’m not particularly sold on Zachary-Dorian as a romance? Implied age-gap aside, Zachary seemed to like Dorian because he’s cool and suave, but there’s not much reason for Dorian to reciprocate? Maybe aside from needing company after leaving behind his assassin life, but that’s not compelling enough for me I guess.
I am glad it had a happy ending, but there are so many things I couldn’t understand.

• Zachary’s death: the “bees” said he was “the end”. Was the only reason he died was to create a dramatic, climactic ending for the story? Why was there a need for an “ending”, for the sea to rise and swallow up everything? Was it to resolve Time and Fate’s (Mirabel and Keeper’s) story?
  
• The story sculptor: at the end the bees let Zachary meet the story sculptor, who turned out to be Mirabel. But the sculptor was also the person who made the box/story/concept to hide Fate’s heart, and Fate was also Mirabel? Is Mirabel playing/representative of multiple characters?
  
• Who was the silhouette in the book crypt?
  
• Why bees and honey? Yes their speech pattern was absolutely hilarious, and there’s a theme between a Keeper and Bees, but what do they represent, what purpose do they serve? Are they the story tellers? Why are they also the Kitchen? Why is the sea made out of honey specifically?
  
• Owl King (and owls in general): I understand the title is passed along many generations of owls, none of whom are named. But Dorian met an Owl King before coming to the inn, what did that moment mean? And the sword (that allegedly “will kill the king”) targeted Zachary instead. The owls in the original Time and Fate story were antagonists, ripping Fate apart. And in the present they did come attack Zachary and Mirabel when they descended. But otherwise they were… kinda chill? Some stories had them be pretty peaceful, like when the middle daughter killed a King and just lived with an owl, or when Simon said “the owls guide and propel the story forward, why are you afraid?” Are they inherently good or evil, or are they simply a neutral plot device to move the plot along in different stories?
  
• What were the voices in Zachary’s head right before Simon came and snapped him out of it? Who or what’s the force that’s stopping Zachary on his “quest”? Again, is it the owls? Is it the “stars”, the ones that conspired against Time and Fate? What did Simon mean by “we are the stars?” Why were the stars happy at the end?
  
• What happens at the very end? Kat opens a door into a new Harbor, where Zachary, Dorian, Simon, and Eleanor are heading to? The sea floods the old harbor? Will Mirabel and Keeper join them, to create new doors to invite more people to join them? Everyone being alive aside, the new HarboSea seems so lifeless and barren, where all the books and architecture has been destroyed/consumed, so is it a really a good thing that it lives on?
  

I know this is a lot of questions, and some of them might be dumber than others. I’d love to hear your guys’ explanation of what these details meant, thank you!

Hello guys, I've been trying to typify myself but I always identify with different functions and maybe my compression is not the best in the subject.
I'm a girl and I'm 21 years old, English is not my main language so sorry for any mistakes.
Section 1
How do you work? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters that determine whether you can do work or not? What are they?
I work because I have no choice, that's how the world I was born is and that's how I'm going to live, I admire those who try to change the course of things like a superhero but I'm a mere citizen.
Because people have dreams and goals and they can't achieve what they want without money unless they're lucky enough to be born into an elite family, if so they won the lucky roulette wheel of life.
I don't work well in heavy environments, I survived only 1 day in a factory because a woman keep screaming at me, everyone tried to convince me to try harder but I was feeling to overwhelmed.
How do you determine the quality of work? How do you determine the quality of a purchase? Do you pay any attention to it
Result.
I'm a bit picky with the quality of my stuff, especially the fabric of my clothes. It's because of comfort but also for aesthetics.
There is a professional next to you. How do you know they are a professional? How do you evaluate their skill?
They get the job done on time and well done. I don't think there's only one way to do things, we are all taught in a certain way but then we also adapt, we end up creating our own way of doing things that work for us.
If you struggle to do something, how do you fix that? Do you know if your performance is better or worse than others?
It depends, I usually learn by trying until it works but I can't always use this technique so I seek tutorials or ask for help.
Definitely, I'm very paranoid about my job, I hate feeling incompetent. If I have the conditions and knowledge to take the initiative to do something at work, I'll do it, but if I'm insecure then I'd rather stay quiet I don't want to mess things up.
How do you measure the success of a job? What standard do you use? Do you pay attention to it? When should you deviate from this standard?
I like easy jobs, constant stress is not for me. Easy, the money, the free time I will have, the responsibilities (few I expect) and the effort.
Section 2
What is a whole? Can you identify its parts? Are the parts equivalent to the whole?
I'm so confused, am I supposed to give a definition or come out with some abstract sentence?
What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view? How do you know you are being logical?
Logic to me is something that makes sense, when your actions and words are coherent and when you take into account all the factors to make a correct decision. Contrary to what the Alphas may believe, Logic is not coldness, in fact, to be completely logical you have to take the emotions of others and your own into account, otherwise you are just emotionally unavailable. For example, killing half the population just because someone killed your cat is not logical, you're actually being driven just by emotions.
What is hierarchy? Give examples of hierarchies. Do you need to follow it? Why or why not? Explain how hierarchy is used in a system you are familiar with.
In short, it's when you're on the first floor and need to climb the stairs to get to the second, you may be able to pay someone to build an elevator to get up there faster, or you can't afford it and you have to overcome all the conditions, shortness of breath, pain in your legs, the stairs that are old and falling apart...
Hierarchy is something natural and will always exist, no matter how much you hate it, the world is not a fair place and there will always be someone eating fried chicken in a lamborghini at the expense of a child who makes clothes for shein.
If you're ambitious you have to do it, but if you're like me who just want to have money to live a "basic life", then you don't need to climb so many stairs, just the necessary ones.
What is classification? How does classification work? Why is it needed and where is it applied? Give examples.**
Is when you take a product, tangible or not (e.g. a bread or skills) and give it a certain punctuation/category according to certain requirements.
Obviously, imagine that you built a building made of toothpicks (product) that would collapse 1 minute after being exposed to the wind because no one had the brilliant idea to take into account the meteorological conditions (requirement)
Are your ideas consistent? How do you know they are consistent? How do you spot inconsistency in others' ideas?
I'm usually an introspective person, so even when my ideas are incoherent I think about them at some point and "correct" the incoherence, unless I'm really emotional I think that during those moments no one is coherent.
Yes, but I usually prefer to keep quiet if it's none of my business.
Section 3
Can you press people? What methods do you use? How does it happen?
Usually no, first of all I don't like to force anyone to do anything because I don't like to be forced either, second that I'm not good at forcing people especially strangers and it's the main reason to have been bullied and still have problems with people walking over me.
What I do is that I tell the advantages of doing something the way I want or admit that it would be convenient for me.
What can happen is when I do something for a person over and over again and they never reciprocate, and there is when I can be a manipulative and childish (passive-agressive)
How do you deal with opposition? What methods do you use to defend your interests?
It depends on the situation, I react badly if it's the example I gave earlier. If someone starts trying to control me indirectly, I can react two ways, or I play dumb for the sake of peace or the manipulation goes directly against my interests and in that case I walk away (with strangers) or protest (people close to me).
When do you think it's ok to occupy someone's space? Do you recognize it?
When they occupy yours is the only situation I can think of right now.
Do others think you are a strong-willed person? Do you think you have a strong will?
I don't know what others think.
It depends if it's about something I'm sure I want, for example a lot of people say I'm crazy for wanting to leave the country but I made that choice for myself and that's what I'm going to do, if I don't change my mind until then (which usually doesn't happen). Otherwise I think I can be seen as lazy, I need a very strong motivation that comes from myself.
How do you satisfy your physical senses? What examples can you give? What physical experiences are you drawn to?
I really like hot baths and pleasant smells. I'm a bit paranoid about my own smell, I'm always putting on deodorant for example.
On the other hand I'm not very good with my internal health, I have to force myself to remember to drink water and food is optional, I don't usually eat breakfast and especially at work I only eat salty snacks or soup most time. I tend to eat more when I want to be greedy or have food available, if I have to do it then I don't eat or I make something simple. I have a friend who judges me for it (I think she has strong Si).
I like some extreme activities, for example I've done canoeing which I loved and every summer I go to the scariest carousels at the fair, I feel free.
How do you find harmony with your environment? How do you build a harmonious environment? What happens if this harmony is disturbed?
I like quiet environments where everyone is genuinely fine and not pretending, so if any of my friends are feeling bad I try to help them. I also like to go to beautiful places with friends or alone like organize a picnic, go to a waterfall...
What does comfort mean to you? How do you create it?
Being in a place alone where I don't need to be anxious all the time, where I can let my guard down, eat sushi while listening to the sound of the rain in warm pajamas and under my blanket creating some fake scenario on my head.
How do you express yourself in your hobbies? How do you engage yourself with those things?
When I was a kid I tried to start playing piano but I dind't last long because It requires a long time to get results and I didn't want to practice at home. I prefer simpler hobbies without commitments, for example playing video games, painting, reading books, and trying new hobbies.
I'd really like to start trying to go to craft classes, but short classes to then be able to try another one until maybe I find one that suits me.
Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself, or trust someone else to do it? Why?
If I had the money I would call someone to take care of the big part, I would tell them exactly what I want, then I would just take care of the details.
Is it acceptable to express emotions in public? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions
That's not a question of being acceptable or not, emotions can't always be controlled, you never know what someone is going through behind the scenes.
But I admit that I prefer people who don't show emotions in an dramatic way, for example in my work there are a lot of people who start screaming and who are clearly exaggerating and I have to control myself not to laugh.
I'm mostly touched by people who are more reserved with their emotions because I identify with them.
How do you express your emotions? Can you tell how your expressions affect others in a positive or negative way?
I never had emotional support so I like to deal with my emotions alone.
I don't know if I consider myself a very emotional person , I have my moments where I start crying for many different reasons because I kept a lot of things inside me, I also have days where I'm in a very bad mood without knowing why and I start being mean to close people.
I'm a very private person, I don't like exaggerated demonstrations, a lot of "i love you" and compliments make me bored and seem fake.
Are you able to change your demeanor in order to interact with your environment in a more or less suitable way? How do you determine what is suitable?
These questions make me think that I don't know myself that well.
I think so, I know how to dress up and not talk about inappropriate things even if I make some mistakes, like smiling in the middle of a funeral because my colleague told a joke or showing involuntary annoyance when someone try to do a lot of small talk with me.
In what situations do you feel others' feelings? Can you give examples of when you wanted to improve the mood of others?
I am fickle in many aspects of my life, empathy is one of them, sometimes I have a lot and sometimes I don't have any. It really depends on my relationship with people and how much I like their personality. I'm very suspicious of other people's motives.
My father doesn't usually cry a lot and he's not manipulative at all. I suspect he's a Lse or sli, so when he cries I know it's real and it affects me, in other hand my mother is manipulative and when she starts crying I always think it's fake or that she deserves it (maybe she is a iei).
Section 6
How can you tell how much emotional space there is between yourself and others? How can you affect this space?
Complicated, I wouldn't say I'm completely blind to how others feel about me, but I'm definitely very pessimistic and because of that I like to be reassured about what my loved ones think about me.
I'm very suspicious of others and sometimes I start overthinking that everyone hates me or wants to hurt me. As soon as a friend has a more negative reaction, sometimes because of their own problems that have nothing to do with me, I get hurt or I start trying to guess what they are thinking about me and as you can imagine it's almost always negative. Although now I'm starting to try to be less negative because you never know what others are thinking or feeling.
How do you determine how much you like or dislike someone else? How does this affect your relationships?
By personality, values, way of seeing the world, I like people I identify whit and I can trust. People with character that I consider dubious I try to not interact.
I have a very small group because I have a set pattern, at the same time they are different obviously but what unites us is that we are all very open-minded and we don't like to meddle in other people's lives.
How do you move from a distant relationship to a close one? What are the distinguishing characteristics of a close relationship?
We start talking, I like what they are about and it's that simple. Sometimes it takes me 3 months to consider someone a friend, other times I only see the person 3 times and I already know I can trust them.
It has happened once that I stayed in a "friendship" because I wanted company at school, but I stopped seeing him as a friend and started seeing him as an acquaintance.
How do you know that you are a moral person? Where do you draw your morality from? Do you believe others should share your beliefs on what's moral? Why?
I am a moral person in my own criteria. There are people who follow the morality of religion, others follow the morality of a group... Some of them I consider wrong and stupid, but I just don't make friends with these people and it's as simple as that.
The only thing that everyone should do is to respect others because it made life easier for everyone and it's such a simple thing if everyone does it.
Someone you care about is acting distant to you. How do you know when this attitude is a reflection of your relationship?
I don't know, it depends on the situation.
But I try not to take it personally (don't mean that I don't take it, on the contrary but I try to suppress it). What I do is that I ask what happened or i leave them alone. I don't like is chasing after others so I've ended friendships without knowing why, the person just stops talking to me and I take that as a sign.
Section 7
How can you tell someone has the potential to be a successful person? What qualities make a successful person and why?
I would say that one of the things is to have the ability to always be ahead of others, to have that special touch that some people have.
Where would you start when looking for a new hobby? How do you find new opportunities and how do you choose which would be best?
I already have ideas of hobbys that I want to try, so I would look in my internal library and choose the one that I felt like doing. I like manual and simple activities (I'm not an artist) I've done canoeing and I don't hate extreme activities, but I don't think it's considered a hobby and I don't know if I would do it that often either.
How do you interpret the following statement: "Ideas don't need to be feasible in order to be worthwhile." Do you agree or disagree, and why?
Ideas have to start somewhere, at first they may not make sense, but then when more ideas come up and they are molded, they can become a possibility. Or maybe people just want to come up with crazy ideas and that's okay too.
Describe your thought process when relating the following ideas: swimming, chicken, sciences. Do you think that others would draw the same or different connections?
I didn't make any connection, unlike the guy I took this questionnaire from. I just read the sentences and nothing else.
How would you summarize the qualities that are essential to who you are? What kind of potential in you has yet to be actualized and why?
The part that I fear the most, having to describe myself even more with qualities (gives me the impression that I'm bragging). This is going to feel more like a list than a text, sorry for the disappointment. I'm faithful, I like to make people's lives easier (if they haven't done me wrong), I strive to do what I promised, I hate being in debt.
I definitely have to improve my charisma and try to get along with new people more until I get used to it and don't get so bored.
Section 8
How do people change? Can you describe how various events change people? Can others see those changes?
Everything changes people, the personality you have today was the result of all the moments of your life and also of your brain (parts more or less developed and this also affects).
We're always changing every day, it's just that we're so used to the changes that sometimes we don't even notice it.
Sometimes I go through a similar situation that has happened before and I see how much I have changed in the way I deal with the problem.
How do you feel and experience time? Can time be wasted? How?
I think time is the most powerfyl weapon, you learn to deal with things with time, time brings peace but also chaos, time makes life evolve both positively and negatively, time kills you but also brings life. Time is truly the most important thing there is, when a certain moment passes you can no longer go back and fix things.
It all depends on the point of view, today you can consider it something important but later you see that it was a waste of time, the important thing to keep in mind is to think about the future because what has already happened cannot be changed.

• Don't typify me according to clichés, thank you.

Is there anything that cannot be described with words? What is it? If so, how can we understand what it is if language does not work?
Language is limiting, you can indulge feelings in others through sentences but you are never sure how others will interpret it.
I would say feelings and experience is one of the things, you have to go through them and let others go through too.
How do you anticipate events unfolding? How can you observe such unfoldments in your environment?
I don't really know, I think from what has already happened, from the people involved, from myself.
I sometimes tend to try to predict things and I like to be prepared for all eventualities because it makes me feel safer, but I also know that predictions are not 100% certain. I've missed opportunities because of this.
In what situations is timing important? How do you know the time is right to act? How do you feel about waiting for the right moment ?
It depends on when I've decided it's time to act.
I'll use the example of my driver's license, I started getting my license 1 year before the end of school but then I decided to finish school first to focus on my license after (also out of laziness I admit). My parents bothered me a lot because I needed to get the license but I only did it when I saw that I needed it to work and I couldn't leave it for later anymore (can expire). It was a bad choice, but I needed a reason to have motivation.
I finally finished this, I couldn't take it anymore. Thank you for reading this far ;)

Lee mains - I need your help
Tenryu Lee here.
I made a similar post before but I want further opinions.
Basically I’ve gone mostly beyond the point where execution is an issue - the only things I have yet to learn are incorporating WR1,2 /B2 loops into my combos to squeeze out 70+ damage (right now I can consistently do the 60+ damage versions out of any launcher). Also I still struggle to do acid rain perfectly but we’ll get there.
My main issue: the gameplan.
Characters like Reina have seemingly insane pressure and the burden is on the other player to read and react (hopefully before they get chipped to death). Outside of b3,3 into misstep which gives me a mix up opportunity, I’m not sure how to apply the same pressure. It seems like I’m always just reacting with my tools rather than fishing for openings / creating opportunities.
I’d be super grateful if someone could walk me through my tools and when to use them, as well as the mindset I should have while playing Lee. I used to play Lars and I was very used to just pushing out strings, going into stance and pressure the enemy but that doesn’t seems as easy with Lee - maybe I am playing him incorrectly.
Also, is it just me that sucks with the b4 as a keep out tool? When I played Lars it seemed like his equivalent orbital was much more easy to use as a keep out?

Made this as a little parallel to my own world. (Don’t say “I’m sorry for your loss or nothing like that, it’s been years since and I’m fine.)
I should definitely show the other sides of my characters more, I show the kabamm, wapow, epic cool super omega fighting side too much.
I need to finish the Friday things from a month ago…
Why must I procrastinate everything maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
(Repost, I accidentally posted while I was adding stuff)

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

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.”

I know its late guyzz but I needed to finish the series and give u my review. Don't hate me for being this late .

 Main leads : 5/10 no hate to them but sometimes I felt like their acting is acting. Sometimes they acted really well but sometimes it just didn't work for me . Maybe because of the directions or something it felt little off Second leads : 8/10 i like especially pwarang . She is my fav in this gl ... how she made angry faces, cute faces , when she was angry on the main lead everything was top notch. I liked her , I want to see her in another gl with the main lead soon . Don't know how many years I need to wait. But yaa her character was matured, understanding, introvert, tall , handsome everything. And the little junior was also cute . Whenever I saw them in the screen I felt like " yes now some pleasure moment for me " ... Whenever warang came to the screen she gave some mature lines which is nice then the main leads who had lack of communication skills. Supportive leads: 6/10 the glasses one who was the friend I liked her as well . Other than her everyone needs to improve their skills . Male actors were pretty nice but still Storytelling: 5/10 wtf !!! Pretty lame ... it's no doubt a good story but too stressful sometimes. How everyone is so into male leads . Everyone wants them to become their gfs ... just too much ... they didn't let me forget the series. " SHOW ME LOVE " how they messed with those characters, Storytelling etc ... they know how to ruin a good show ... it felt like a normal yt show made by normal people... bruhh it's a big show make it I catching and tempting ... but naahh the directors were sleeping maybe Theme : 4/10 ... My question is where are the teachers!??? It's based on university or school maybe ... so where's the teachers? There was not a single teacher in the university dudee ... and the seniors acted like teachers, done everything by themselves etc . No classes at all . And also rarely saw their parents. Even when warang got a accident as well . Also how the main lead forgot all her memory after accident, then the male proposed her , he acted like a boyfriend all were too much for me . Cinemagraphy : 3/10 ... they need to learn from BLANK or maybe from SECRET OF US (trailer was pretty eye catchy) both series has had impressive angles , cinemagraphy and fabulous actress. Atleast BLANK . The show felt like a cheap yt video by normal makers Second leads time: 2/10 ... I am asking where is my fav couples time !? They are Second leads u should respect them as well and give them more time . I rarely see them together! 

!? Maybe they had like 23min in the whole series . The story only revolves around the main lead being dumb , crying...
And why literally why everyone were into main leads !!? It doesn't make sense at all . And why I felt like their relationship was kinda toxic !!!

Conclusion: I don't hate any gl series or gl related stuffs so I don't hate it either. It's just I don't like it . Plzz tell me 23.5 is better then this because I have high hope for the series and will watch it after it finishes its 12 parts . I want second leads to have thier own series . Plzz don't hate me for giving little numbers . 🥹 

Characters: Husky, Angel, Devil, Softy
Husky and Angel are married and have two kids, Devil and Softy.
“Oh, Husky, baby.~” I heard my wife, Angles, voice coming from the bedroom. I was with Devil, showing him how to make the perfect drink, non-alcoholic of course. “Husky! I want you!” I heard the voice more angry than loving. I sighed and told Devil to go find his sister, Softy. When I got to the room, I said, “Wha- Oh, Ummmmm…..” There she was, on the dead rose covered bed. “Oh Husky, baby, there you are. What took you so long?~”
“I was showing Devil-” Got cut off by Angel getting off the bed, and now on me.
“Shhhh.~” She began, “That doesn’t matter right now. Right now, all I want if my baby with me.” She began kissing my neck. I tried to push her off me. “Baby, don’t you love me?”Angel said. I started to speak then got cut off again. “Of course you love me. If you really did love me, you would do what I say, right Husky?” I just nodded. She squealed with excitement. I heard a small voice behind me. I used my wings to keep Angel hidden as I turned around. There before me stood Softy.
“Mommy, brother won’t give me the sword!” She sat down and started to cry.
“Oh shhh. It’ll be fine.” I made another sword appear. “Here Softy.” Softy stopped crying and squealed like her mother, Angel.
The next day. “I’m heading to the Hazbin Hotel!” I yelled so the whole house could hear me. “If anyone wants to come with me, come now.”
“Husky.” I looked around the room, and saw Alice standing behind me. “You're going to the hotel, are you now?”
“That was my plan.” The next thing I knew, I was in a dark room, flashing red and white lights at what looked like a hallway. I walked towards the light. “AHHHHH!” I was now falling. I saw pictures of me and Angle on our Honeymoon, our wedding day, our first kiss, and so much more. I opened my eyes and saw I was at my bar spot in the hotel. “What just happened?”
“It’s awake.” I heard a voice, I didn’t recognize. “It is awake.” I heard another voice I didn’t know.
“Huh?” I sat up and looked at the people that came up to me.
**************************************************************************************
End of the chapter: For more just ask! :D

My players are currently in the middle of Foul Weather at Wayside. 3 Level 8 characters (Paladin, Wild Magic SorcereBard, and Warlock/Bard. They have defeated the elemental armor, and made it to the inn. Which is where I ended the session. I did not follow book advice of halving the air elemental's armor, but did keep Emmalou around a little longer. They were successful but beat up, I gave hints through Emmalou for them to get out of the storm as all players were fighting inside the storm radius. I also dropped the hint of praying to Talos in continuing through the storm which they also did do, and also had Emmalou take a rest prior to heading back the Leilon recommending the player do the same due to the intense battle. They did not take the short rest preceding on. 2 players were struck by lighting twice and one player was struck 6 times in route. I rolled one set of damage for all lightning strikes. Needless to say they were quite beat up after that.
Now that you have the context, the next session I had a player unsure if they would be able to play. I said let me know I have a plan, as one of my players came to me with an idea about a prayer to Talos. The player could not make it, so we played. My player gave their prayer and I had them roll a Religion check. They failed the DC, which triggered a nearby lightning strike and what I can beat describe as a divine image. I indicated this by saying your vision seems to have an ethereal gleam around the edges of it. The 6 impaled humans I morphed into Ghouls who instantly jumped on the character of the player that could not make it killing them. They battled them off and made attempts to save the character unsuccessfully (no resurrection like spells). They went through some of the inn finding more undead which is what I morphed for this vision, but kept number of enemies the same in each location and kept the glyph of warnings in place.
After an emotional session trying to save this character and me basically giving them a feeling of hopelessness, to which a day later I was applauded for the session and delivery of it, they kind of quite never entering the main area of the inn so they really didn't uncover too much. The intent was to give the players an idea of what "could" be in there. After they went up to the second floor on the barn side the barricaded the door and long rested. I used this opportunity to snap them back to reality to the point right after the prayer was said and called for another Religion check which was a natural 20.
I used this opportunity to grant them a boon as they are pretty beat up and hope it is strong enough. They get the benefits of a short rest, and have advantage on attacks for the next 30 minutes. Is this enough? Should I give them more or stick with it? I don't think a full long rest is warranted as many hints were ignored. But maybe recovery of half of used spell slots?

Hello there! I've been playing this game for a long time, with big pauses from time to time. Now I started the game again after watching the TV-show (I assume there are a lot of us who did). I like the game, as it does things better than many other mobile games, also the graphic style is awesome. But every time I play this game I just can't get rid of thoughts about some kinds of lesser improvements that could've been made just to make the game more balanced generally.
The thing that disturbs me the most is the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system which many players could find disbalanced and weird. Like, some of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points are completely useless (as Charisma) or serve just for one purpose (Intelligence, Strength). Others, vise versa, could be critically important, like Endurance and so on. I've been thinking on how to make attributes useful for different goals. And as we already have Vault rooms specialized on certain attributes, I think it would be interesting to make them all valuable for quests. I'm not thinking about changing the game fundamentaly, but just to make some small changes. I would also be glad to look for other ideas in comments. Here are my suggestions:
S - increases the damage with melee weapons: each score increases damage with +1; bigger inventory. Max inventory possible for dwellers is strongly decreased and might be increased only by character's strength level.
P - crit attack scale slower (no changes), also bigger amount of random lockers while questing available (depends on the highest Perception in the party).
E - each score gives an additional +10 hp (10 endurance = +100 hp). Level up hp bonus from endurance is halved.
C - each score gives +1% for damage and hp for other members in the party (depends on the highest Charisma in the party, also doesn't provide bonus for the dweller himself).
I - more xp: leveling speed increases with 10% per each score. Also increases the chance of getting random rare or legendary junk in quests and wasteland instead of common item (depends on the highest Intelligence in the party).
A - attack speed increased (no changes)
L - higher level of crit (no changes)
Some other possible changes:

1. Legendary dwellers have default special traits. Like, the Ghoul obviously should have 100% immune for radiation and so on.
   
2. Fighting inside the Vault uses the same system, as fights in quests.
   
3. Dwellers with long range weapons don't change their position after defeating an enemy, only the direction.
   
4. Power Armor reduces the damage taken (10%, 20%, 30%), same with radiation.

Please read the Wiki, Rules, and FAQ before posting.

I wonder if it is too soon to quit. I wonder if I have wasted a portion of my life on writing. I wonder if I am just some talentless hack who will never create the kind of quality storytelling that has inspired me throughout my life. I wonder if I am just being impatient and irrational.
It was roughly four years ago when I decided to pursue the craft of writing fiction. I was a fresh-faced job seeker, having completed Highschool, but it was difficult to find a job since the country that I live in has a soaring unemployment rate and growing up in disfunction, hence barely having any money to afford college or university, did not make the job hunt any easier. And don't forget the Covid-19 pandemic.
During this time of inactivity, I decided to dabble in writing prose and poetry, eventually desiring to write fantasy, sci-fi and horror fiction. I was keen on learning, practicing and experimenting with various approaches to writing fiction in a way that saw that I would create the best stories that I was capable of. So that meant my time as a kind of sort of writer have been filled with a lot of trial and error.
From 2022 I decided to ramp up my efforts and went on to write a bunch of short-short stories, novelettes and vignettes; there were a whole lot more incomplete stories. It was around this time that I managed to land a job. A temp job that has somehow gone on to this day. There is no financial certainty whatsoever.
I still have managed to churn out quite a few first drafts of short fiction, despite the lack of time I had to read and write. I still was and am in a season of trial and error, so I consider these stories to be learning curves at best, dumpster fires at worst. So, these stories have never found their way out into the world.
After quite some time I managed to devise an outlining technique that all but guarantees the completion of stories as long as I follow a strict routine. This out-lining technique helped me to take the insurmountable brick wall that I crash into when I make it up as I go along out of the equation, and without putting me to sleep from boredom, but the end product has always seemed... stale. Maybe even a little dead inside.
In the past few weeks, I have been trying to strike a balance between the plotter approach that gets things done but leaves the end product feeling stale and the pantser approach that allows for filling the work with intrigue and spur-of-the moment emotion that makes my worlds and characters feel more alive, but rarely gets anything longer than a vignette done.
Recently I have been experiencing a lot more stress, making it that much harder to create. I am in a position where I wonder if I will ever do well at writing fiction. I asked my mother(who I am still living with since I don't make enough to move out) to help lighten my load when it comes to the house work or at least support me if I decided to quit my day job, but instead she brought to mind that I have not even made any conceivable progress (publication and making money) with my writing.
Have I wasted my time? Should I quit on this dream? Or am I being irrational and impatient? Is seeing results after four years of writing expecting too much of myself or have I been at this for far too long without making anything of myself?

I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Being able to run endlessly in the first game made sense and gave us a feeling of accomplishment. And the locations and enemies were the same as before also have perfect sense. .
But how will it be done in the second? If we defeat Khronos, the surface cannot remain the same. The same applies to the last location underground. Cerberus should not be chased away by anyone. Hades, of course, should not be captured.
Or the developers will change some locations and enemies so that it makes sense. Or we will be stuck in an eternal time loop but then we will never have victory. Or maybe the runs will become something like memories? But then the interactions with the characters on the locations will have no meaning and no development.
I have no doubt in the Supergiants that they will make things cool. Still, I can't stop thinking about it and worry a little.

I saw a post on the Hulk not long ago, and it inspired me to rant.
Okay, so it's not exactly a hot take to say that the Hulk was done dirty in the MCU. Despite Infinity War and Endgame being peak Marvel in the eyes of many, this is definitely the character who people had the most complaints about.
The biggest reason for this is that Hulk was not in these movies. His character had already "died", before any of us had realised it. The most frustrating part about this is that there was such a clear and well written path that the writers could have taken in order to make the Hulk's conclusion feel not only satisfying, but outright iconic.
But first, let's go over what happened as a refresher for those who have forgotten. After being absent from the MCU since Age of Ultron, the Hulk makes a surprise (probably not that surprising tbh) reappearance on Sakaar in Thor Ragnarok. It's revealed that he's been in Hulk mode for years and, for Banner, Ultron was only mere moments ago.
Hulk's performance in Ragnarok was pretty good. He fought Thor, and though he definitely would have lost, he proved that he was still a powerhouse. He then faces Hela's wolf (I think this is meant to be Fenrir but it doesn't look like it so I'm just gonna call it wolf), killing it by punching it off a waterfall. He then staggers Surtur in one blow, which is by far his most impressive feat, even if it was just meant for a bit of comedy.
Now Hulk/Banner is returning to Earth with Thor, and the movie ends with Thanos' ship looming over the Asgardians. The hype for Infinity War has never been higher. So what happens now?
Well, Hulk immediately gets destroyed in a fistfight by Thanos, who wasn't even using his stones. That's a bit of an L, sure, but a pretty good way to hype up Thanos in all honesty. Given that he's been anticipated for over 5 years, and yet hadn't even left his chair until now, it makes sense that he'd need to beat up someone strong in order to establish how powerful he is. It may have come at the expense of the Hulk, but this is not the problem in the slightest. Thanks to Heimdall, Banner lives to see another day.
What if I told you that that was the Hulk's conclusion? His final scene. After being gone for so long, he beats up a wolf and is effectively dead for the remainder of the MCU. Yeah, you'd think I was crazy. But other than a couple rebellious moments where he doesn't take over for Banner, that's the last we see of him. The Hulk is gone.
In Avengers Endgame, Banner effectively kills the remnants of the Hulk by fusing them with himself. As the brains, he's the one that takes control. This isn't really immoral because Hulk is kinda just an alter ego of Banner. I think that's how we're meant to see it anyway. But the second Professor Hulk showed up onscreen, that confirmed that the Hulk we'd grown to love was dead.
I don't have a problem with the directors killing off Hulk. They killed Natasha. They killed Tony. Steve seems to be dead. Hawkeye is trying to retire. Other than Thor, who is a god, everyone else is passing on their mantle to the next generation. They don't want to fight anymore. I can understand the decision to remove Hulk from the story in order to allow his son to get some spotlight. But that doesn't make this writing good. This is actively one of the worst ways to kill a fan favourite character that I have ever seen. It's like the directors were trying to have bad writing.
And there was such a painfully obvious way to do this right. In fact, it fits in so well into the story that 99% of us probably thought this was what the directors were alluding towards. For Hulk to go out on his own terms after one final Hulk out moment.
It all makes so much sense. Banner tried multiple times to bring out Hulk in Infinity War, and it never happened. There was even a climactic moment in the Hulkbuster suit where it seemed like Hulk was about to burst out of it, and yet he refused again (this was the last sighting of Hulk entirely). After being beaten up by Thanos, Hulk seems to be hesitating to fight. PTSD? Some other kind of trauma? Who knows? After all, it was never explained.
Hulk's character change in Infinity War is the greatest change a single character has ever had over the span of one movie, in my opinion. It is entirely out of character for the Hulk to shy away from battle. That's why it felt like this was meant to be buildup to something great.
Picture this. All hope seems lost during the final battle of Endgame. Thanos has defeated Captain Marvel, and there's no one left to stand between him and his goal. And then, suddenly, the Hulk jumps onto the scene. He manages to get the gauntlet off Thanos, and from there they rematch. This is a younger Thanos. A weaker Thanos, perhaps. But more importantly, a Thanos who has no idea what kind of monster has just come after him.
Perhaps the Hulk made a deal with Banner upon seeing Thanos again after 5 years. He'll disappear forever, and in exchange he will draw upon all the potential power he'd have used in those future years. He becomes bigger, like the 2003 Hulk. I'm sure there's a comic book we can reference here, but I'm not too familiar. The most powerful version of Hulk appears to defeat Thanos before disappearing forever.
After this, we can let a few more clashes happen before Tony's final sacrifice. But this is the equivalent of Cap wielding Mjolnor. Or Wanda's rage moment. For the Hulk, this would be the conclusion to his character. A final smash that would remind us all who he is.
Tony Stark was the only casualty in the final battle of Endgame, which means a lot of focus was on him in the aftermath. If Hulk "died", there'd be a risk that it would take away from Tony's moment. But I think we can all agree that this is better than just subtly offscreening him.
This was such an obvious way to go about his final arc, so maybe that's why they didn't do it. Everyone would have seen it coming. But not all expectations are supposed to be subverted. This kind of scene would be a satisfactory end to one of the most iconic faces in Marvel history.
TLDR: Hulk was an enormous missed opportunity.

In today’s article we are going to tell you about Free Fire Old Version. Free Fire is a third-person action shooter that is designed to play like an engaging battle royale title. Like many of its relatives it follows a character from right behind them and gives you a good overview of all the activity happening on the map. All the characters in the game are placed on the same island and it is their job to get out of said island alive. In the Free Fire Old Version game,
50 players can be assigned the same map at a time, but they have to fight to the death until only one is left. When maps are filled with 50 people the action can become extremely hectic and it can be difficult for individual players to see what is going on. That being said, as long as your connection is solid you shouldn’t experience much lag. As you know, Free Fire Old Version is a very famous game like BGMI. There is not much difference between the two games but the paths of both are very different Currently we are talking about Free Fire,
so let us tell you that this game has also made people crazy about it all over the world with more than 10Cr+ More people play this game and entertain themselves. Additionally, game managers can make a round last as long as they wish, but most games will probably not last more than 15 minutes. As the time limit begins to decrease, players may begin to behave more and more erratically. This will help make it attractive to those who don’t have time to explore a serious triple-A shooter game like Free Fire Old Version. It presents everything they do in a more concise and enjoyable package.

Rant underneath:
I've been using reaper lately for mixing because it's really conveniant and malleable (i can configure almost everything exactly how i want) and now that I came back to ableton to produce I just felt how clunky it is compared to Reaper and reminded me why I don't mix in it
1- Ableton is super slow: loading plugins takes like 2-3 seconds, scrolling up is slow, deleting a track is slow. It just feels laggy. Mind you I have a good cpu (ryzen 5950x and a super fast samsung ssd). It also felt like that in 11 so its not just an ableton 12 thing
2-there are tons of bugs
There's even bugs from previous live versions that still haven't been fixed like removing a sample out of a drumrack also unmutes the muted notes)
my files are still pending analysis and its been stuck for weeks
some shortcuts don't work if you use a language other than US english
the browser and the collection filters stop responding after a few minutes
plugins seem a lot more unstable and crash (that was also the case in live 11 hence why i mix in reaper because high latency plugins just made it super unstable)
3-shortcut removal and workflow
why did they remove the return track shortcut on arrangement view??
plugin windows that open all over the screen, you can't float single plugin windows on another screen, you can't edit the shortcuts except by assigning another keyboard command and making it a template,
the browser is a mess (categories stay open even if it doesn't make sense and you need to find your way for example why is the song's key category appearing when i select effects?) and while i wanted more browser customization it still feels limited and doesn't actually speed up the workflow. (with crucial buttons like clear filters not having a shortcut, having to close categories manually and ending up spending more time in the browser than before)
I would have loved ARA support and all the other things suggested in the centercode forums. But that's okay, I just want the things it claims its doing to actually work and it's frustrating seeing other daws like Bitwig or reaper having so much workflow oriented customization while Ableton is lagging behind! I don't want another synth, improve the stability and the performance!!
who else has been experiencing this?

In today’s article, we are going to tell you about Tekken 8 APK Download, which is a very famous game, this game has been made very well by the developers.

The show kind of made the Starks more rustic than they where in the books. House Stark in the novels where not as wealthy as the Lannister's but they where a lot wealthier than the show.
First lets look at what they wear in the books which is nothing like there costumes in the show.
Side note Lord Rickard owned Steel armour and gold spurs.
When Arya is packing to go to Kings Landing she files where chest with silk and Sansa is fond of blue silk.
In Kings Landing Eddard looked nothing like what he did in the show, he always wore what he called his council silk. Ned also commissions a new uniform for his guards. Long cloaks of heavy grey wool decorated with white satin borders. Their cloaks are pinned with hands of beaten silver representing there Lords office as hand of the King. When he was on the Iron Throne Ned wore a white double embosomed with a grey dire wolf.
In Winterfell at the feast welcoming the King and Royal Family they all dressed grandly, including Benjen Stark. There are high born brothers in the Nights Witch from the north and south and I have never seen one dressed as well as Benjen at that feast, not even Lord Commander Mormont himself. He wears rich black velvet high black leather boots. His wide belt has a silver buckle and very heavy silver chain.
When Bran is attacked by Wildlings he is attacked for what he is wearing and he is second legitimate son and he is wearing a wolfs head broch of silver and jet. Jet is a gemstone and this is not a formal event this is just outriding in the woods.
Jon wears fine blacks and mole skin gloves which would not be cheap. At Winterfell harvest feast Bran is dressed quote, as befits a Prince and Robb wears a bronze crown and Catelyn describes her sons royal Kingly attire as quote magnificent.
Also Theon Greyjoy dressed very well when he was living with Stark in silk and Gold and Balon fears the Starks have made him soft. I doubt Greyjoy money was funding Theon's extravagant lifestyle. When he takes Winterfell he crowns himself Prince of Winterfell and orders and orders a new crown forged with black diamonds and chunks of gold. Where did he get the gold and diamonds if not from Winterfell's plundered treasury. And before Winterfell Bran and Luwin gave the Manderley's gold and build a royal fleet and mint coins.
At the Winterfell harvest feast
Now lets look at Winterfell it is much bigger and much grander than in the show this is a Castle built of granite which is an opulent martial.
Winterfell is a huge castle complex spanning several acres and encircled by two massive granite walls.
Remember the Castle is built over natural hot springs and as the wiki explains.
The water is piped through walls and chambers to heat them, making Winterfell more comfortable than other castles during the harsh northern winters.
Also from the wiki
Inside the walls, the complex is composed of dozens of courtyards and small open spaces. Weapons training and practice take place in those yards. The inner ward is a second, much older open space in the castle where archery practice takes place. It is located next to the broken tower. Inside Winterfell stands the inner castle, which contains the Great Keep and the Great Hall. Winterfell's towers and halls have diamond-shaped window panes.[6]
Inner Castle
The Great Keep is the innermost castle and stronghold of the castle complex. It was built over natural hot springs to keep it warm.[5] The Great Keep contains bedchambers for House Stark[5] as well as the solar of Lord Eddard Stark.[7] The building is connected to the armory by a covered bridge.[8] From a window on the covered bridge, one can see the entire yard.[9] Beneath the Great Keep are cellars with narrow windows.[10]
The Great Hall is used for receiving guests and the place where the household dines together, including the Lord of Winterfell. It is made of grey stone[11] and has wide doors made of oak and iron,[12] which opens to the castle yard, and a rear exit leads to a dimly-lit gallery.[12] Inside it can hold eight long rows of trestle tables, four to each side of the central aisle,[12] and the hall can seat five hundred people.[13] There is a raised platform for noble guests, and the walls are covered with banners.[11] The hall contains the high seat of the old Kings in the North. The seat's cold stone has been polished by the many lords who have sat upon it, and its massive arms are decorated with the carved heads of snarling direwolves.[14][15]
The small sept was built for Lady Catelyn Tully, a southron, by her husband, Lord Eddard.[16]
Courtyard and Other Buildings
The First Keep, a squat and round drum tower, is the oldest surviving part of the castle but is no longer in use. Around it lies a lichyard where the Kings of Winter would bury their loyal servants. The keep has gargoyles atop it.[17][6] Maester Kennet determined it was built after the Andals arrived.[18]
The broken tower, also known as the Burned Tower, was once the tallest watchtower in Winterfell. Over 140 years ago a lightning strike set it afire and the top third collapsed inward, but no one rebuilt it.[19][20] It stands behind the old inner ward. Crows nest atop the broken tower.[19]
The ancient godswood of Winterfell has stood untouched for ten thousand years, with three acres of old packed earth and close-together trees creating a dense canopy, which the castle was built around. At the center of the grove stands an ancient weirwood with a face carved into it, standing over a pool of black water.[16] Across the godswood from the heart tree, beneath the windows of the Guest House, an underground hot spring feeds three small pools, with a moss-covered wall looming above them. The godswood is enclosed by walls, and is accessed by a main iron gate, or smaller wooden ones.
The Glass Gardens[21] is a greenhouse heated by the hot springs, which turn it into a place of moist warmth.[5] It is used to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers.[9][22] The garden has green and yellow glass panes[10] locked in frames.[8]
The crypt of Winterfell, located near the First Keep, is where members of House Stark are buried. The underground crypts are long and narrow, with pillars moving two by two along its length. Between pillars stand the sepulchers of the Starks of Winterfell, the likenesses of the dead seated on thrones, with iron swords set before them to keep the restless spirits from wandering, and snarling direwolves at their feet. The crypts are deep under the earth, cavernous and bigger than the complex above ground. They are accessed by a twisting stone stair and a huge ironwood door that lies at a slant to the floor. The stair continues below to older levels where the most ancient Kings in the North are entombed.[23][17][10]
The Bell Tower is connected to the rookery by a bridge. The bridge is covered and runs from the fourth floor of the tower to the second floor of the rookery.[6][8]
The maester's turret is below the rookery.[24]
The Library Tower houses the library at Winterfell. A stonework staircase winds about its exterior.[8]
The Guards Hall is in line with the Bell Tower, and further back, the First Keep.[6]
Winterfell has undercrofts and cellars.[25] The castle also has dungeons,[25] including tower cells.[26]
Walls
Winterfell is a huge castle complex spanning several acres, defended by two massive walls of grey granite with a wide moat between them.[4] The outer wall is eighty feet high, while the inner is one hundred feet high.[4] There are guard turrets on the outer wall and more than thirty watch turrets on the crenelated inner walls.
The great main gates[7] have a gatehouse made of two huge crenelated bulwarks which flank the arched gate[8] and a drawbridge that opens into the market square of the winter town.[27][28]
There is a narrow tunnel inside of the inner wall stretching halfway around the castle, allowing travel from the south gate all the way to the north gate without interruption.[19]

• The Hunter's Gate is close to the kennels and the kitchens. It opens directly onto open fields and the wolfswood, so people can come and go without having to cross through the winter town. It is favored by hunting parties.[4]
• The East Gate[10] or east gate[29] leads to the kingsroad.[10] The Kingsroad Gate[7] may be another name for the same gate.
• The Battlements Gate is a small arched postern in the inner wall. It crosses the moat between the walls but does not have a passageway through the outer wall.[7]^#

When Jon Snow becomes Lord Commander of the Nights Watch he considers building a glass building but thinks it will be costly and for such fine glass he would need to look Myr and by the freedom of a few glass makers.
We know Sansa loves lemon cakes and lemon trees do not grow naturally in the north importing lemon seeds to Winterfell from the reach or Doren would not be cheap. My guess would be the seeds came form Doren as one need only sail up the narrow sea than the up the White Knife.
Finally Maester Luwin has his own turret and mentions having servents of his own. The Starks top servants have servants
Not as wealthy as the Lannister but it clear Ned and Robb after him where unlike in the show 2 of the wealthiest man in the world.

Okay, that's totally not a click bait title. Now what I'm asking, I'm fully expecting no now else to be able to try out for themselves. The device I'm referring to here is made for creators. Musicians/video editing, that kind of thing, and I don't imagine there's anyone else looking at this and thinking, games.

Ultimately, this is a Plug'n'Play USB 2.0 HID device. Within the settings, you can set the tuning of the knob to send keystrokes. When setting it to left and right cursor keys accordingly, turning the dial within the OpenEmu GUI does the same thing as pressing the keys on the keyboard. Turn slow, move slowly through my games list, turn fast, move quickly through the game list.
This first point I'm making is that the keyboard strokes are picked up nicely.
Here's an example of mapping the "l" and "r" keys and doing the same in TextEdit.

Can you see where I'm hoping to go here?
Load up a game, let's say Pong or Arkanoid. Are the key strokes picked up? Are they knickers!
Anyone have any idea why this may be the case?
