2024.06.09 15:38 Agile-Am Are most players bad in Efootball league?
 | This is going got be somewhat TL;DR esque, so forgive me in advance. A little background about me. I played PES religiously up until the September 2021 update, which sincerely made me stop playing the game up until late last year. submitted by Agile-Am to pesmobile [link] [comments] While the game itself feels less wonky, I've noticed a significant drop in the amount of skilled online players. The older versions of PES seemed to have more of them. This current iteration, not so much. The following clip is just a very small example of what I mean. Granted, this took place in division 4, but I've seen this same mistake (among others) taking place often in divisions 3, 2 and 1. The guy decided to pass back to his man. I immediately pressed his player. But Instead of smartly spinning around and passing back to his GK, he decided to pass wildly to the flank, directly to my player who was standing in the way. That led to an easy goal and the eventual game winner. He was making mistakes like that all game for what it's worth. This guy's highest rank was division 2. I just can't understand how players with such sloppy gameplay end up anywhere near the top 3 divisions. What do you guys think? Are there currently more bad players than good ones playing the game? Or is there another factor? |

2024.06.09 15:35 Dangerous_Morning286 VR Sim Racing Thoughts
Hi
I am Sim Racing since 6 months now and am doing so in VR only (Quest 3 with link cable). I am not a Pro and I dont have a clue on how to setup cars, tyres etc. BUT I still like to have a realistic driving experience where I do need to improve myself to get better and not some Need for Speed / Forza Horizon casual type of game.
My setup is a Fanatec DD Pro (8Nm) mounted on a Playeat Trophy. I am generally happy with the hardware and did not have issues with it. Software is another thing...
I love sim racing when I am not fighting with technical issues. Theese issues are so annoying that on some days I don't even want to start playing. I will list a few of them.
-Oculus Software taking 5 Minutes to startup, sometimes hangs itself up in setup process -Something always has to update when I just want to play -PC audio not switching to Quest 3 by itself-> having to do it manually everytime I want to play -Sometimes my wheel/pedals are not detected ingame even tho I power them on the same way every time -VR integration in games is absoulute dog shit: Cant use wheel analog-stick to navigate menu. Had to buy a wireless keyboard with trackpad and need to switch between keyboard, quest controller and wheel constantly (depending on game). Why do I even need the quest controller... No way to access desktop view without taking the quest controller and clicking twice to get to it. Hand tracking which would probably solve the issue is not available while using quest link (wtf why?) -Quest 3 battery is trash even when plugged in (max 2-3 hours at max settings) -Constant fiddeling with settings: Cant just swap games as every game needs different kind of fanatec settings. Setting up Force Feedback to feel good is a pain everytime, takes a lot of time and in some games you have to do it even from car to car.
Now to the games I played:
Asetto Corsa: Incredibly annoying that you want/have to use mods to get a decent experience from the game. Initially I spent like 6 hours to get everything looking decent. The need of content manager also implies the need of desktop view and the wireless keyboard between runs. If it works its fine tho. Story mode has a KTM car (level 4 I think) that spins the rear out no matter what I do an locks up steering while braking. Cant procees in story as this level blocks me from getting further. Other people experienced the same thing, its not just me.
Dirt Rally 2.0: Once setup correctly (2 hours of fiddeling with settings) generally very satisfied with the game. One of the better VR experiences I had and not had many problems. Can recommend it.
Asetto Corsa Competizione: Unusuable VR experience on my RTX4090. Getting head ache after 10 Minutes because the picture is very distorted and generally just bad image quality. Gameplay itself feels very good tho. Best force feedback feeling personally.
Automobilista 2: Has to use keyboard to navigate menu. Other than that the VR experience and also driving experience is pretty good. Game lacking story mode content.
iRacing: Incredibly expensive. The game feels great but I hate to play online. This game is for not for me because of the type of content and payment system.
Gran Turismo 7: Fuck Sony. Would love to play it on PC. Would be the exact type of content that I would wish to have from a sim racing game.
Project Cars 2: Couldnt get it to run in VR.
My hopes and dreams for future VR sim racing: I hope that Asetto Corsa Evo which should release to early access in 2024 will have a very very good VR integration. If I start the game, I like to have a wheel-navigateable menu, nice graphics without mods, story mode, good force feedback presets and dialed in presets for different popular wheels in general.
I dont even ask for much and it's a shame that things just dont work out of the box. I get that sim racing and especially in VR does not have to biggest audience and ist still rather niche compared to fortnite and that shit.
When I show my VR setup to my friends and letting them drive they all love it. But they can just sit down, slap on the headset and drive. They don't know the amount of time I had to invest to get everyhting running how it should. I just can't recommend them to get themselves a rig even to I would like to..
I know I am ranting here, but this is just how I feel.
I would love to hear other VR users experience on sim racing in the comments.
Keep racing and stay safe.

2024.06.09 15:32 RzrBldSmile Which chapter is best to explore and free-roam?
I've played through the game before in 2019, mostly for the story.
Now, 5 years later, I've started another play-through, and this time I want to do some more exploring, like hunting a few of the legendary animals, crafting some of the weird things there are, solving some mysteries, and not focus on just the story so much.
I'm now somewhere around the beginning or middle of chapter 2, but I hardly have a Dollar to Arthur's name, which makes it hard to enjoy "the finer things in life" like customizing weapons, clothes and horses. I remember there was a time in my previous play-through when money wasn't a problem anymore, but I forget when that was.
When would you say is a good time to ignore the story quests and do some of that exploring and free-roaming on my own? Should I make the best of chapter 2 while I'm still there, or continue with the story and save the independent adventuring for chapter 3 or 4?
Also, I don't recall this since it's been so long - is there a possibility to free-roam Guarma? Or doesn't it make sense because there's nothing interesting to do anyway?
Thank you for your input.

2024.06.09 15:32 boutell New US and Canadian CCS chargers in May 2024
Here are all (*) of the new US and Canadian CCS (Level 3 fast-charging) stations that rolled out in May 2024, according to the Department of Energy. You can get the data yourself here.
These chargers are suitable for most new EVs on the market, except for:
There were 255 CCS charging stations with a total of 606 chargepoints added or refreshed in May 2024, which is a major uptick in both stations and chargepoints. For comparison, there were only 226 new CCS charging stations in May 2023, with only 421 chargepoints. Things are trending upwards overall.
Some part of this is due to Tesla Magic Dock stations. Previously Tesla didn't report these to the AFDC as CCS, but now they do. And that makes sense because all CCS drivers can use them.
NOTE: most Tesla Superchargers do NOT have magic dock as of this writing (all those shown in this report should have it). I recommend using PlugShare to locate compatible stations for your vehicle.
(*) "What about other Tesla Superchargers? Can't everybody charge with NACS now?"
It's coming for many makes and models, and for newer Ford models as well as a few other manufacturers charging at v3 and v4 Superchargers is already an option with a free adapter from the automakers. GM should release their adapter this year. But since they are not open to all CCS vehicles, this report is not the place for them. Tesla's app provides the best guide to their locations, including locations that work with non-Tesla vehicles.
Other Notes
To streamline this post, multi-chargepoint locations are listed with the number of chargepoints first.
For serious trip planning, I recommend PlugShare. But by all means check out these reported new locations and submit reviews on PlugShare, which makes things better for everyone.
If you'd like to know about new chargers along your routes right away, or just prefer not to check this list monthly when new openings are rare in your area, I've set up a free service that provides email notifications as soon as they open. You can sign up at evpov.com. Or not! I don't really have a business plan here, I built it to help EV owners like myself. PlugShare has a similar feature.

These chargers are suitable for most new EVs on the market, except for:
- Tesla drivers who haven't bought the official CCS adapter yet. Certain older Teslas need additional work done to accept the adapter.
- Nissan Leaf owners, owners of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and some owners of older cars that also use CHAdeMO. If you drive such a car, see my matching post in .
There were 255 CCS charging stations with a total of 606 chargepoints added or refreshed in May 2024, which is a major uptick in both stations and chargepoints. For comparison, there were only 226 new CCS charging stations in May 2023, with only 421 chargepoints. Things are trending upwards overall.
Some part of this is due to Tesla Magic Dock stations. Previously Tesla didn't report these to the AFDC as CCS, but now they do. And that makes sense because all CCS drivers can use them.
NOTE: most Tesla Superchargers do NOT have magic dock as of this writing (all those shown in this report should have it). I recommend using PlugShare to locate compatible stations for your vehicle.
(*) "What about other Tesla Superchargers? Can't everybody charge with NACS now?"
It's coming for many makes and models, and for newer Ford models as well as a few other manufacturers charging at v3 and v4 Superchargers is already an option with a free adapter from the automakers. GM should release their adapter this year. But since they are not open to all CCS vehicles, this report is not the place for them. Tesla's app provides the best guide to their locations, including locations that work with non-Tesla vehicles.
Other Notes
To streamline this post, multi-chargepoint locations are listed with the number of chargepoints first.

2024.06.09 15:27 tomesandtea [Discussion] Mod Pick David Copperfield by Charles Dickens Chapters 1-5
Welcome to our first discussion of David Copperfield! This week, we will discuss Chapters 1-5. The Marginalia post is here. You can find the Schedule here. The discussion questions are below.
One reminder - although this is a classic novel that has been adapted many times over, please keep in mind that not everyone has read or watched already, so be mindful not to include anything that could be a hint or a spoiler for the rest of the book or for other media related to this novel! Please mark all spoilers not related to this section of the book using the format > ! Spoiler text here !< (without any spaces between the characters themselves or between the characters and the first and last words).
Links of Note:
Chapter 1 - I Am Born: David Copperfield launches into the retelling of his life story with that famous line that questions whether he or someone else will turn out to be the hero of his life…but we’ll just have to read the whole thing to find out! Immediately we are let in on the unusual circumstances of David’s birth, which is suffused with superstition, causing the town gossips to speculate wildly. He was born on a Friday night near midnight, which of course means that he’ll have an unlucky life and be visited by ghosts and spirits. (I mean, would this even be a Victorian novel without some ghosts? David assures us that he’s yet to be haunted, though.) He was also born with a caul (inside the amniotic sac) which means he’ll be safe from drowning. This is apparently such great news that they advertise the caul for sale after his birth, but only get one hit on Victorian Craigslist, so they hang onto it until they can put it up for a raffle several years later. David says he remembers that raffle and found it super weird to watch a piece of himself get sold off, which, fair! He does note that the old lady who won the caul died in bed and not by drowning, so I suppose it was worth it?
Anyway, back to David’s birth! His father had been dead for six months on the night of his birth, and his mother was a terrified teenager living alone with Peggoty, her servant-girl, so called because they share the same first name. One Friday afternoon in March, his mother was hanging out by the fire and pondering the likelihood of dying in childbirth, when a formidable woman named Betsey Trotwood showed up at her door. Miss Betsey was his father’s aunt and she loved Mr. Copperfield, but hated her abusive husband, who she paid off to go to India and leave her alone. It worked - he died there! On the night in question, Miss Betsey literally pokes her nose into Mrs. Copperfield’s window and then demands that the pregnant lady get up to let her in. Being a force of nature, she takes charge of the room right away, criticizing the Copperfields’ choice of home (a rookery with no birds?) and making somewhat disparaging remarks about Mrs. Copperfield’s history as an orphan and a nanny. She also declares that the baby will be a girl and demands to be the godmother and namesake so the new Betsey Trotwood (Copperfield) can undo all the mistakes of Great Aunt Betsey’s life. Mrs. Copperfield goes into labor and Miss Betsey stays by the fire, plugging up her ears with cotton. She spends some time mildly abusing Ham Peggoty (the servant’s nephew who was hanging around the house to carry emergency messages) and generally ignoring the doctor. Said doctor, Mr. Chillip, is a gentle man but speaks so slowly that Miss Betsey almost throttles him. When he congratulates her on the birth of a BOY, she smacks him upside the head with her bonnet and leaves immediately, never to darken the Copperfields’ door again! Welcome to the world, David!
Chapter 2 - I Observe: David Copperfield relates some of his early impressions of life: his memories of creepy pantries, stuffy parlors, boring church services, and a loving home. His mother is young and beautiful in these memories, and Peggoty is beautiful to him in her own way (though she insists she is not). One day, Davy's mom shows up with a stranger who walks her home and - gasp! - touches her hand! Davy immediately dislikes this black-bearded, dead-eyed interloper and Peggoty seems to like him even less. He falls asleep while his mother is swooning over her new admirer, but when he wakes up his mom and Peggoty are having a big fight. Peggoty says the new man is bad news and Mr. Copperfield would never approve, while Davy's mom says Peggoty is being unfair and heartless. When all she does is sacrifice for Davy, doesn't she deserve some attention and excitement?! All three of them end up crying, and things are never quite the same between the trio again.
Davy's mom continues to see this man, Mr. Murdstone, who rides up one day and invites Davy to take a little trip with him to see a yacht. Peggoty gets him ready in a huff, and you can just tell this is the Victorian era version of riding on the irresponsible boyfriend's motorcycle without a helmet. Davy gets to meet some friends of Mr. Murdstone and watch them do a bunch of paperwork on the yacht. They also make fun of him, comment on how hot his mom is, and make him drink brandy. Since Davy is a little kid, he thinks they're having a grand time. When he later tells his mom they complimented her looks, she is quite thrilled. And then a few months later, Peggoty invites Davy to go with her to visit her brother for a fortnight. She talks up the trip so Davy will be excited, but it's clear she's worried. Davy wonders how his mom will fare all alone, but Peggoty assures him she will stay with a neighbor. (Lies!) Mr. Murdstone is there to see them off and he has … opinions … about how emotional Davy's mom is during the goodbyes. I'm with Davy when he wonders why it's any of this guy's business in the first place. In retrospect, Davy reflects that he wishes he had known he was leaving something behind forever and he is glad that he and his mom had a touching moment full of love as his carriage pulled away.
Chapter 3 - I Have a Change: Davy endures a very boring journey across flat countryside towards the sea to get to Peggoty’s family in Yarmouth. When Davy complains, Peggoty defends her hometown, as a proud Yarmouth Bloater. (Here's some bonus reading: a Victorian-era article about bloaters.) Davy is won over when they reach the busy fishing town and he gets to see the Peggoty home: it is a boat that has been converted for living, and he thinks it is pretty perfect. It turns out to be a full house due to the generous nature of Mr. Peggoty (original Peggoty's brother). Just don't mention said generosity because it makes him super mad. Mr. Peggoty has taken in the orphaned children - Ham and Em'ly - of his drowned brothers, as well as Mrs. Gummidge, the widow of his fishing partner. Davy's fortnight with the Peggotys is full of happiness. He explores the seashore with Em'ly and falls in love with her. They bond over never knowing their dads, although Em'ly wishes she were a lady in the same class as Davy. Davy reflects that given what he knows of her future life, it might've been better if Em'ly drowned that day by the sea. Dark! Mrs. Gummidge often has melancholy moods where she cries all day and declares she has it worse than everyone else, but the family kindly chalks it up to mourning for her husband and assures her they don't want her to go off to the poorhouse and die.
As the visit draws to a close, Davy realizes he has quite forgotten to miss his home and becomes eager to see his mother and Blunderstone Rookery. Yet when they arrive, Peggoty pulls him into the kitchen nervously. She really botches the delivery of her big news because Davy first thinks his mother may have died and then, when she tells him he has a dad, imagines Mr. Copperfield may have risen from the dead. But she brings him to the parlor to greet his new step-dad: it's Mr. Murdstone, of course. Mr. Murdstone proves himself to be a real downer, kicking things off by correcting Davy's mom (who we discover is named Clara) for jumping up too enthusiastically at her son’s arrival. Davy sneaks away to find that his house has completely changed and the yard has acquired a mean, black dog that snaps at him.
Chapter 4 - I Fall Into Disgrace: Davy has fallen asleep crying after the discovery of his mother’s marriage, and when Clara and Peggoty wake him, his mom blames both Peggoty and Davy for his despair. Mr. Murdstone comes up and dismisses them both so he can be alone with Davy. He explains that if he had a stubborn animal, he’d beat it until it obeyed, strongly implying that Davy had better change his attitude or else. Things get pretty grim for Davy after this. He is kept isolated from both his family and neighborhood children. Mr. Murdstone’s sister, Jane, comes to live with them and immediately takes over Blunderstone. Clara is given no say in household matters: even the keys are kept by Miss Murdstone and, when Clara protests and weeps at being pushed aside, the Murdstones manipulate her into apologies and submission. When the family goes to church, Peggoty is no longer invited and the Murdstones keep Davy and his mother apart; Davy also notices that the family seems to be the subject of much whispering and staring from the community.
Davy’s days are miserable. He is often locked up alone in his room, where he loses himself in his father’s old stash of novels and uses this escape as a survival mechanism. (This collection of novels was taken straight from Dickens’ own childhood, according to his biographer John Forster.) When allowed out of his room, Davy endures lengthy, difficult lessons in the parlor. He suspects the lessons are meant as much to teach his mom the Murdstone tradition offirmness tyranny as they are to educate him. No matter how hard Davy tries, he cannot seem to remember the lessons under such severe supervision. Davy is belittled as stupid for his mistakes and boxed on the ears with his books by Mr. Murdstone. When Clara tries to help Davy at one point, Miss Murdstone catches her, and both Clara and Davy are in a good deal of trouble. Clara is chastised, Davy is removed from the room, and the next day’s lessons are overseen by Mr. Murdstone with a cane and switches. This goes about as well as you would imagine: in his terror, Davy makes more mistakes than ever and is dragged from the room by Mr. Murdstone. To her credit, Clara does protest and try to run after them (unsuccessfully). Mr. Murdstone wields his cane and switches, but Davy bites his hand in an attempt to wriggle away. He then beats Davy severely and leaves him locked in his room for five days. During his imprisonment, Davy sees only Miss Murdstone who brings him meager meals and allows him short walks in the garden each morning and family prayers in the evening, before locking him away again. At the end of this punishment, which feels like years to Davy, Peggoty sneaks to his room to whisper through the keyhole that he will be sent to boarding school in the morning. She tells him his mother isn’t very angry with him, only disappointed, and begs him to remember her and her love for him. She promises to look after Clara and they both vow to write to each other. Davy asks to be remembered to Em’ly and the other Peggotys.
The next morning, his mother expresses her disappointment in his behavior and her hope that boarding school will reform him; Davy seems to realize she has been coached to believe the worst of him. He chokes down a little breakfast before his coach arrives, and Clara steals one unsupervised moment with him to say goodbye affectionately. Then, they are parted, and Davy is on his way to boarding school. It’ll surely be a harmonious and supportive learning environment. Right? Right?!?
Chapter Five - I Am Sent Away From Home: Mr. Barkis, the carrier driving Davy on the first leg of his journey to school, pulls over not too far away from the house. Who should appear out of the bushes but Peggoty! She silently hugs Davy until she pops some buttons of her dress (one of which Davy keeps), hands him some cakes, and slips him a note from his mother that includes two half-crowns. Davy shares a pastry with Mr. Barkis, who asks a lot of questions about Peggoty’s relationship status and cooking skills. He asks Davy to write Mr. Barkis is willin’ in one of his letters to Peggoty, which Davy does at the next stop. As he waits in Yarmouth for the stagecoach to London, Davy eats lunch at a hotel restaurant where he is grifted by the waiter. This unscrupulous man tricks Davy into giving him his ale, most of his food, and some of his money. The rumor goes around that Davy has the appetite of a boa constrictor, making him too nervous to eat at the next stop for supper. Wedged between two men and with a woman’s luggage stuffed underneath him, Davy spends an uncomfortable night in the stagecoach as it approaches London. He finds it strange the next morning, after all the snoring and moaning he witnessed, that the adults insist they were unable to sleep a wink!
Upon arriving at the station in London, there is no one to collect him. Waiting in the office, Davy begins to worry that he will be turned out of the station at night, run out of money and starve, get lost walking home, or have to offer himself as a soldier or sailor (though he knows he is too small for that). Finally, a rather scrawny man - who Davy assumes is the Master of Salem House School - arrives and takes Davy the rest of the way. Weak from lack of food and sleep, Davy begs to stop so he can buy breakfast, and the man takes him to the home of a poor woman (presumably his mother) to cook the provisions they purchase. The man plays the flute very badly as Davy begins to eat, but soon Davy has fallen asleep. He wakes to hear comments of “delicious” which he assumes refers to the man’s music, but I bet indicates they were eating Davy’s breakfast. They continue on to Salem House, where a man with a wooden leg lets them in and throws old boots at Davy’s escort, who turns out to be Mr. Mell, an employee of Mr. Creakle, the school proprietor. Salem House is dilapidated, dirty, and deserted. Davy wonders where everyone is and Mr. Mell informs him that Davy has been sent to school during the holidays as punishment. Another punishment: Davy must wear a sign on his back identifying him as a biter, which makes him increasingly paranoid that someone is always behind him reading it. (Probably not.) He also worries that the students, whose names he can read carved in the doorpost, will all make fun of him for it when they return. (Probably true!) Mr. Mell, an odd man with various ticks, doesn’t pay much attention to Davy, but neither is he mean. We get another ominous reference to the future in that Davy says he dreads the return of boys like J. Steerforth and the presence of “the awful Mr. Creakle”.

Chapter 1 - I Am Born: David Copperfield launches into the retelling of his life story with that famous line that questions whether he or someone else will turn out to be the hero of his life…but we’ll just have to read the whole thing to find out! Immediately we are let in on the unusual circumstances of David’s birth, which is suffused with superstition, causing the town gossips to speculate wildly. He was born on a Friday night near midnight, which of course means that he’ll have an unlucky life and be visited by ghosts and spirits. (I mean, would this even be a Victorian novel without some ghosts? David assures us that he’s yet to be haunted, though.) He was also born with a caul (inside the amniotic sac) which means he’ll be safe from drowning. This is apparently such great news that they advertise the caul for sale after his birth, but only get one hit on Victorian Craigslist, so they hang onto it until they can put it up for a raffle several years later. David says he remembers that raffle and found it super weird to watch a piece of himself get sold off, which, fair! He does note that the old lady who won the caul died in bed and not by drowning, so I suppose it was worth it?
Anyway, back to David’s birth! His father had been dead for six months on the night of his birth, and his mother was a terrified teenager living alone with Peggoty, her servant-girl, so called because they share the same first name. One Friday afternoon in March, his mother was hanging out by the fire and pondering the likelihood of dying in childbirth, when a formidable woman named Betsey Trotwood showed up at her door. Miss Betsey was his father’s aunt and she loved Mr. Copperfield, but hated her abusive husband, who she paid off to go to India and leave her alone. It worked - he died there! On the night in question, Miss Betsey literally pokes her nose into Mrs. Copperfield’s window and then demands that the pregnant lady get up to let her in. Being a force of nature, she takes charge of the room right away, criticizing the Copperfields’ choice of home (a rookery with no birds?) and making somewhat disparaging remarks about Mrs. Copperfield’s history as an orphan and a nanny. She also declares that the baby will be a girl and demands to be the godmother and namesake so the new Betsey Trotwood (Copperfield) can undo all the mistakes of Great Aunt Betsey’s life. Mrs. Copperfield goes into labor and Miss Betsey stays by the fire, plugging up her ears with cotton. She spends some time mildly abusing Ham Peggoty (the servant’s nephew who was hanging around the house to carry emergency messages) and generally ignoring the doctor. Said doctor, Mr. Chillip, is a gentle man but speaks so slowly that Miss Betsey almost throttles him. When he congratulates her on the birth of a BOY, she smacks him upside the head with her bonnet and leaves immediately, never to darken the Copperfields’ door again! Welcome to the world, David!
Chapter 2 - I Observe: David Copperfield relates some of his early impressions of life: his memories of creepy pantries, stuffy parlors, boring church services, and a loving home. His mother is young and beautiful in these memories, and Peggoty is beautiful to him in her own way (though she insists she is not). One day, Davy's mom shows up with a stranger who walks her home and - gasp! - touches her hand! Davy immediately dislikes this black-bearded, dead-eyed interloper and Peggoty seems to like him even less. He falls asleep while his mother is swooning over her new admirer, but when he wakes up his mom and Peggoty are having a big fight. Peggoty says the new man is bad news and Mr. Copperfield would never approve, while Davy's mom says Peggoty is being unfair and heartless.

Riyandiwilliam : https://www.instagram.com/riyandiwilliam/ (Either her lover, friend, or work with her) 🙁Summary: January to March 2024Jpndate.com / Datesteady.com / Cudate.com / Sayhiup.com are dangerous Romance scams. All the women are paid actors for the website from Korea/China. They will try to get into a relationship with you very fast, don’t fall for it. They are milking you for money like if you're a cow. They will threaten to kill you or your family if you call out their scam. They might also say they will sue you. If you stop paying them, they will text you very little. They will never video call you face-to-face. Jpndate.com has a sister scam website from the same people called sayhiup.com. When you buy something on Jpndate the payment goes to Cudate Limited, so that site must be part of the scam also.There also Datesteady with the same layout. There is a company in China doing all type of illegal and immoral practices. Their name is Zhengzhou Zhongzhiqi Technology Co., Ltd. / 郑州市中之祺科技有限公司 . They have their main technology business but they also run a list of many scam websites stealing money from American men, Asian, and European men. Such as Cudate, JPNDate, DateSteady.com, SayhiUp. These are romance scam sites where all the women work for the company. If you make a female account it will pend forever. Only men get approved. They claimed before to be an American-owned company then I exposed them now they claim to be Dutch. Their servers are all in China. They never filed paperwork with any foreign country. They are none of these the Chinese pretending to run many dating sites when in fact it’s all fake. They claim to be in nations their not. They have fake terms of service. I used PayPal before I didn't know it was a scam. I paid in dollars, but they refused to refund me till I told PayPal. PayPal made them pay me back. Then they refused to pay me the total amount they wanted to pay me on yuan when I paid dollars. I reported them to FTC. They also try to hack my laptop for me telling the government the truth about them. They probably get funds from the Communist Party government or SW Entertainment in South Korea. They are very very bad people. Please look into it or forward this message somewhere where it can be looked into. Pretends to be a legit dating site but feels more like a pay-to-use website for fake love. All women here are paid actors for the site. The same few women have multiple profiles pretending to be different people. The funny part is anytime you call out JPNDate bs they change their terms of service. Screenshot everything people. They have a fake page saying they're trying to stop scammers, it all bs they are the scammers.

They also replied with different accounts knowing info about me I only told the other account. Do you like Asian women? Real Asian women? These ones are real! I know who they are. Hi! This is Mark Faraday talking to you. This is my story of how a website named JPNDate Dancing Idol scammed me out of 4080 American dollars. From the time period of January to March 2024. First, I was on Japan Cupid, a dating site. On Japan Cupid, no one can chat unless one of you has a membership. I bought a 1-week membership. Within 5 minutes to 10 minutes, a woman nicknamed Yomi from Japan messaged me; this should have been a red flag for me. We talked for a while. She said she was interested in me. She asked me if I could move over to the dating site JPNDate because she paid for membership there and not Japan Cupid. She also promised to delete her account on Japan Cupid after we changed sites. She does delete her account off Japan Cupid. Japan Cupid is sus also. I don’t think it is the same company but it is still very sus. However, these women used that site to find men like me. That is a story for a different day. Unlike a normal scam artist, who may only have 1 or 2 photos, she has several photos on her profile. My trust in her grows a bit seeing that. She then privately messaged me several more photos of her. She asked me for some photos, which I sent. She then sends back happy and heartfelt emojis. She told me she doesn’t date Asian men anymore because they were violent to her in the past and her last boyfriend cheated on her. She talked about how she didn’t want to fight with me. She also said we could talk about any topic. She would compliment me often, as I did for her. Of course, on my profile page, I try to post my best pictures. Throughout my life, I have had many different hairstyles. She even mentioned this and got very happy and asked if I was a hairstylist. The spam of talking on JPNDate.com between us was from January 20th, 2024, to March 24th, 2024. On JPNDate, there is an upgrade system. You need Blue Diamond to chat with others. Crown to send videos. Blue Diamond is 20 dollars per month, and Crown is 80 dollars per month. I got the Blue Diamond membership at first. It showed her with it too. After a day or two, she asked me to upgrade like she did to the Crown membership so she could send me a video. I upgraded it, and she did actually send me a video. All pictures and the video match the same person and the same face. Some pictures were in different locations, and some were like three different pictures in the same place. We then later buy a 6-month Crown membership for each other because it is cheaper than 1 month at a time. I bought it for her, and she bought it for me. At this point, I start to believe. This person was giving me all their time. They reply very often, and their texting time was the same as Japan timezones every single day. They spoke not only English but also Japanese almost fluently. However, they did let me know that they're still learning English and sometimes use a translator. She let me know that this website has something called a mall. This should have been red flag number 2. You pay 1 American dollar for each gold point. Paypal is the only thing that works. When we started dating, she said it was normal for couples in Japan to send each other gifts. It was a symbol of forever love in Japan, she claimed. As an American, I didn’t know if this was true. I googled it and couldn’t get a clear answer. She said whatever I bought her, she would buy me as well. She asked if I liked necklaces or charms. I said anything was fine. She wanted me to pick up a necklace. At first, she picked up a $1,000 necklace from the site mall and asked me. I said no; that's way too much money for that. She said how about a 300-dollar Jade Romance charm. She told me to get her white one; she would get me the green one. I questioned if she was legit. She started crying. She somehow convinced me at the time that she was legit again. I did buy it. A few weeks later, I did receive the overpriced Green Jade Romance love charm to my address from her. I never told her which day exactly my tracking information said it would come to my house, but I asked her, and her tracking date was the same week as mine. By the way something almost the same as this necklace is 12 dollars on Amazon. It also broke when I got it in the mail. Probably cost them 2 cent to make. For the next few days, we had a wonderful, happy conversation. It is late January, and I know Valentine's Day is coming. I offered to get her flowers. I got her flowers and chocolate at a very high price of multiple hundred dollars. She then gets so happy. She told me many times how she wanted to go to America and find me. We talked about many topics for several more days. She told me she worked in an office in Tokyo. Yomi told me her real name was Miyuki Miyamoto. Which is very funny because I told her before I was a Nintendo fan, and this is the same last name as Mario and Zelda Creator. She also said she had her apartment to herself, which is true; she does own an apartment. She talked about how life is stressful right now in Japan. She claimed to have grown up in the Japanese town of Nagano, Japan. She also said she had gone to a university in Tokyo with a major in computer science. She wanted to visit America in July for 15 days when she had her time off. July is a normal time for people to get off in Japan for vacation, so I thought nothing of it. I told her that I was from a smaller town in California, but I lived not far from San Francisco. I told her how my town is quiet and how I could see mountains outside my house. She said she wanted a peaceful life and that life in Tokyo is too fast. And she always had great things to say about every picture I sent. We also talk about going on dates. I asked most of the questions, but she did ask me questions as well. I started to ask her a lot of questions about Japan. Like if she visited Himeji Castle, she said no. However, she did say yes to visiting Mount Fuji. I should have asked for a photo of this, but I didn’t. She was very happy; she told me very many topics about Japan. We even briefly talked about anime. She told me she liked Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and Detective Conan. This information is important later. We also talked about how both of us were big Disney fans growing up. She told me she wanted to go to Disney Land when she came to California to visit me. One day she told me, how work was busy today. I told her it was okay and we didn’t need to talk today. She did, however, still text me a little bit that day. This was the only day during our whole time talking when she was super busy. There is nothing wrong with this; all humans get busy. I decided to spend my evening drawing a picture of me and Yomi on a date to surprise her. When I sent it to her, she did not react. This was a red flag for me. I tried to convince myself that she just didn’t like drawings that much. I know I sound really dumb right here, but whoever I was talking to is very smart and knows a lot of things. I was in deep love. We started talking a few days later about the idea of meeting and going on dates together. I know that the yen is weak against the American dollar right now. I told them I would pay for anything they wanted when they were in America because I was in love. This was a big, big, big mistake. They then asked if I could give them 1500 dollars to buy a plane ticket. Never give money to people you never meet in real life, folks. Don’t be dumb like me. Turns out the ticket was actually 2100, so they asked for another 500 dollars the next day, claiming their friend let them borrow the money, and they paid the difference. They did show me a picture of a plane ticket. With the name Yomi and the correct airports in Tokyo and San Francisco. This gave me more trust in them; I got a lot of photos, videos, and even a picture of a plane ticket. At some point, I talked to them about social media. They claim to only have Skype and Line. I found it very hard to believe a woman in her 20s wasn’t on Instagram or Tik Tok. I went on Instagram and typed Yomi, and I found a Yomi who looked just like her. This made me think: why did she lie? What confused me is that all the pictures on her Instagram were different from the ones she sent me, other than one image that was the same. Meaning that the images were not clearly stolen from there. I looked up JPNDate online; there isn’t much info on this website (Right Now), other than one reddit forum from 1 year ago. Someone said something about being scammed by an IDOL on this site. They also said the website wasn’t in Japan but in China. I was wondering why I never saw new females joining the website; it was the same 23 pages worth of them. I wanted to test the website to see if it was legit. I made another account, a fake male account with AI artwork. It was approved in one second. I then made a fake female account; it said pending approval. It has now been 2 weeks since I made that account, and it still says pending approval. This means all the women on this website have to be fake actors. There is also a setting on JPNDate to see who has been online last or which accounts are the oldest. When I asked weeks before, Yomi claimed she had been on this website only for a short time. Her oldest picture was dated October 20, 2023. Yet she has the sixth-oldest account on JPNDate, according to the website. The Reddit forum I talked about before was over a year old. When I was on this website for a month, at least 10 other women tried to text me. There was this one profile of a woman from Taiwan, age 20. She texted me three times in one month. When I joined, her age was listed as 20, and at some point, she changed her age to 25 on her profile. I ignored all these women. This proves again that all these women are fake. I do know these are women based on how they type, but they are not truthful like they act like they are. As I write this, I just realized this is Yomi's friend or sister; it matches the other Yomi account's sister tag. They are part of the same dance agency Aiu_Agency on Instagram from SW Entertainment in South Korea. I knew this website wasn’t telling the truth. I found the JPNDate IP address and tracked it to a server in Hong Kong, China, hosted by Alibaba cloud servers. Reddit was right; the website is Chinese. However, Yomi is Korean which I learned later. I took pictures of the website code just in case. I asked Yomi if she knew Alibaba. Then she asked if I’m going to China—a very strange follow-up question. At this point, I was confused. Who is Yomi? I couldn’t find anything about Miyuki Miyamoto, only Yomi. On Yomi’s Instagram, she speaks Korean, not Japanese. I started to think there are no Japanese women on this website like they claim to be. She does speak Japanese, though. I started using more than 10 different software programs to track who Yomi was since she kept asking me for money. I found like 1000 pictures of an idol, WeChat model, singer, dancer, person on endless Chinese dating sites, and a valiant professional gamer part of the AI’U agency for over 8 years. I found two other Instagram accounts with Yomi's face. Another account in Chinese with an idol name other than Yomi also had a Facebook page. The Chinese account has a post about her going to Australia in early 2024, where she is typing in English words. It was a fake trip. I also found an account where she speaks only Korean on Instagram. I also found a tik-tok where someone dances and looks 100% the same as Yomi, to whom I’m talking. The part that is crazy is that none of the images are 100% the same, but the person is the same in all of them. This shocked me; I follow all the accounts. I saw the stories daily to see who this person was. Her Yomi account is just her normal pictures and atm company or something. Her Korean account is about traveling to Singapore, Spain, and South Korea. She also posts a lot about Disney toys here. When I talked to the scammer about Disney, I had no idea about this. At this point, I knew that many men had been scammed out of money for fake love, not just me. These women are real women. However, there are actors pretending to be in love. They will crush your heart and call you names after a few weeks if you don’t buy their stuff. It has to be from JPNdate Mall only, nowhere else. JPNdate Mall prices are crazy high. I am not sure if the point of the website is just for money or if it is actually for women to study English or what. Chinese women, pretending to be Japanese (most of them), that have connections to Korean music, dancing, and gaming on professional teams. Man, what a hell of a story this is. This sounds like a Hollywood movie, but it's real, or at least partly. At this point, everything I say seems to be true based on what I know. They are connected deeply with SW Entertainment. Yomi told me early on that she had one older sister and one younger brother. It seems like she is actually a twin, and she is the younger sister. Or it’s her friend she calls a sister from the dance Aiu Agency. Yomi claims to be 25, but I think she is closer to 27 or 28 based on finding a listing of her work in 2015 at Twitch Gaming. You have to be 18 or older to work at Twitch gaming, unless your parents sign things. Unless this job is fake, I don’t know. When I showed the pictures I found to Yomi on JPNdate, she played the victim card on me. Saying she thinks I’m a liar and she wants to break up. Then she gave me her Skype account to try to prove it was legit, and all the other images and accounts were stolen and fake. Her Skype name is Rose, with a One Piece picture. She sent me many voice clips, crying, trying to convince me that she was real. I put them in software, and the voice was 30% human, 70% AI. Clearly, a woman is changing her Chinese or Korean voice to sound Japanese. A PC gamer would know how to do this; they do it all the time to troll. Yomi told me she didn’t play video games anymore, but I found a picture that wasn’t that old of a woman who looked the same as her; she had a Nintendo Switch with a white OLED in it. Btw it’s a known fact that Yomi uses software to cheat in the Pc FPS games. We talk for a few more weeks on Skype. I can’t let Yomi, her sister, whoever the man is (I think her lover), and her idol dance friends scam men for their time and money. Yomi Chiense's name is Vera Yuanxin (维拉). Her twin sister goes by veravera_zhangg. Yomi “deleted her profile” when I exposed her. But One Yomi is still there with no pictures. Two they clearly have other accounts with people who look like she just changed hairstyle, talking and trying to scam other men. Remember when I said the anime part was important? On Yomi's Korean account, she has a friend with whom she talks about Digimon. She gave him a Disney toy. She told me she wanted to cosplay a fox; his profile is a fox. There is just so much proof that these are the same people. Later someone hit me up on Reddit from the Phillippines and told me how the same person Yomi scammed them. How for months Yomi promise them so many things. Then when they said it came to going on the plane to visit him they said they were sick or dying or something. Yomi also made a fake Instagram pretending to be Joe Biden and sent me a friend invite. I messaged and it was so funny how bad it was on their part. I said “Yomi are you trolling me?” then they deleted their account. This was on April 6th, 2024. Yomi tries so hard but use a lot of cheap things that are clearly fake like ai artwork, bots for like at ai_u agency, and fake profiles where she comments herself and attacks anyone who calls her out fairly. After exposing Jpndate they Ip ban my address lol. Then on social media joke about attacking me. If you call out their BS they threaten your family and yourself. Just stay away from all these sites if you're going to date online use well-known legit sites. I contacted Paypal and me and JPNDate.com had many emails back and forth. They pretended to do an investigation on Yomi real identity and said she was really Miyuki Miyamoto. It was so bullshit. I told them I would sue them if they were lying, The site no longer exists. The scam does, however. What happened After JPNDATE? April-June 2024 In April many fake Instagram accounts started following me each day. They are romance scams I never got them like this before. I didn’t fall for any of them. All or most were likely Yomi and her friends. Paypal did get me 4000 of 4080 dollars back but it took 6 weeks and multiple emails. JPNDate tells me they will be closing soon after PayPal went after them hard. Like I said I just wanted to find love. I made some stupid decisions along the way. However, I want to find out the truth and make sure other men don’t get scammed by them. I keep messaging Yomi's skype during this period, they never block me. They unfriended me but I could still send messages I wasn’t blocked. They even responded 2 times out of the 50 times I did this in the multiple-week span. I contacted the Aiu_Agency on Instagram (It is the same people as JPNDate) they pretended to be different people. I told them about Jpndate. They called me a hero, they said they loved me, and they thanked me for sending them all the pictures that Yomi sent me on Jpndate and Skype. They follow me on Instagram for 2 days. Then they unfollowed me randomly for no reason. They said their agency would do a police report and kill the scammer. I knew this was so bullshit. I told them how the scammers were making new profiles of them on Japan Cupid. Which is true. The leader Mingmei1344 (Which is Yomi Chinese account) claimed I was the scammer setting them up. She plays the victim card on me. I showed her all the messages and how I got the pictures, I didn’t steal anything. She told me her and her friends are okay if I hacked them, because I’m from the CIA. I am not from the CIA. It was a joke I made a few days before when she pretended to be a mob boss in Korea. I told her I am not a hacker. Right after that she and her friends all ban me other then Mingmei1344 account. Mingmei1344 Message me 1 more day, then block me. However, Mingmei1344 and the Aiu_Agency keep posting things on topics I told them days or weeks before. I checked their old post they never talked about any of this before that. I told these to Yomi on JPNDate and skype not Mingmei1344 again proving it is the same person. They look the same as well. Like the blue feather concept in love mythology, Gundams, Nintendo, Persona, and many many other topics. Yomi claimed to not know anything about videogames before I talked about it with her. I think this is partly a lie. This confuses me so I make fake Instagram accounts to message Mingmei1344 and Aiu_agency. She replies to my messages and Mingmei1344 even does a ask me a question thing on Instagram and replies to all of them. She clearly knows these accounts are from me Mark however she replies anyway. The replies were nice and positive things. Then later she bans them all again. Often Aiu-Agency Women (Yomi and her friends, Mostly Yomi) pretend to go to countries they are not actually in the picture, it’s all greenscreen effects. They also use Ai for Music covers Artwork. For music covers they pretend to sell millions of copies of but there is nowhere to buy such a music cover CD they claim to sell. Their music covers are claimed to be from popular songs kpop songs. I looked, at least not right now such CDs aren’t real. Of course, the songs are real but not their covers. Yomi is most of the women in the pictures but not all. They will post Ai cover artwork, multiple pictures of them using the greenscreen effect, then put a high-quality image of a famous Korean male singer. They never took these pictures of these Korean male singers. They download them and edit them. They pretend to perform with them but it is all fake. Mingmei1344 started always putting her with all the famous Mark’s in Korea. Only her not her staff with Mark’s. I think it’s a reference to me. She didn’t do this before meeting me I looked at her old post. Again Mingmei1344 is Yomi who is Jeong Nahyeon, who pretends to be Miyuki Miyamoto. She still references me sometimes in other ways and I send them messages to see what will happen next. One time I wrote about loving her to see what she would say. I do love Yomi, however I don’t want anyone to get scammed. I told her we could travel across the world together. She wrote in her next post on Aiu_agency on Instagram she liked this future with her future husband. It was a direct reply to what I asked the day before. I joined DateSteady after being contacted by a woman on Japan cupid. She is very interested in me and Yomi so I tell her everything. |
2024.06.09 15:19 Cubed_Up 30 M UK I’m basically a massive nerd
A little about me
Music is my absolute favourite. I listen to indie/alternative mainly but I love some rock and metal too. If you want to make a playlist and swap songs on the daily, we’ll be friends immediately.
I have a soft spot for anime and manga. I’m all caught up on JJK, Chainsaw Man, and One Punch (both manga and anime). The last anime I finished was Goblin Slayer Season 2, it was still enjoyable but nothing like the first season. Currently reading Solo Leveling for the 3rd time 🤝 if you have any recommendations I’ll gladly take them too
Anything resorting to Space is an instant hit with me, talking about dying stars, what the future holds for space travel and the life of the galaxy is beyond interesting for me. Can rant about it for hours
Gaming has been with me for as long as I can remember. My main platforms are PC and Xbox, I have a Switch and PS4 Pro but they’re just there for the exclusives. If you’re looking for anything co-op, I’ll be your guy. Currently playing through modded fallout 4 and the new Destiny 2 DLC (Fallout show was amazing)
I’ve also wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons for the longest time, so if you’re looking to teach a beginner. Here I am
I have also recently bought my first Magic the Gathering deck (Tyranid commander) simply because I have an unhealthy love for anything Warhammer 40k.
I’m in the East of the UK, so if you’re around that area it would be perfect. I am totally okay if you’re abroad, I live on the East Coast US time since I’m a huge night owl.

2024.06.09 15:14 DrivingMyLifeAway1 The High and the Mighty - 1954 - SPOILERS
Just finished watching this movie on Amazon Prime and didn’t find any previous posts here with any significant discussion about the content. I’m curious what others think of it, good or bad. I’m going to focus on the bad but others feel free to share what you liked or correct me if I’m out of line with my critical thoughts.
I found it entertaining but also seriously lacking. As you may know, it is considered by many to be the precursor to later airline and other disaster movies, including the comedy Airplane. It does some things well but not enough, in my opinion.
Spoilers
The film starts out with a mild dose of humor as we are introduced to the passengers of the doomed airliner, via a style that I immediately recognized from the tv shows Love Boat and Fantasy Island. We also get the much more serious intro to John Wayne’s character pilot Dan Roman and his losses.
Then as the flight begins from Hawaii to San Francisco, we learn more about the passengers, largely through flashbacks, as more of their stories are told, with some humor and some much more melodramatic, also a precursor to the future airliner disaster movies especially.
But for my purposes I want to focus on the aspects that simply didn’t make sense to me and detracted from what should have been building tension and a feeling of realism which would have made the film better for me. First, while there was later discussion of what was going wrong with the plane and what they needed to do to survive, there were several points where the lack of dialogue among the pilots and navigator seemed unrealistic. Specifically the unexplained vibrations that everyone was feeling but was initially shrugged off. It wasn’t until the stewardess got burned by spilled coffee and told the pilots that they even started to do something to find the cause. They knew there was an oil leak in engine 4 (from the preflight inspection) but that never got mentioned again.
Then, the scene where the passenger with the gun gets up and ends up discharging the gun in the struggle that ensued. Simultaneously, engine one catches on fire and the propeller disintegrates, causing a fuel leak that means they are almost certainly going to have to ditch in the ocean. I had to rewatch the scene four times before I finally concluded that the gunshot had nothing to do with the engine fire and the timing of the two events was purely coincidental!
I’m sorry but that severely damaged the entire credibility of the movie for me because nothing about that made sense to me. A single pistol gunshot seems extremely unlikely to cause an engine to be destroyed but yet that’s exactly how the filmmaker appeared to set it up and lead the audience to believe. But none of the follow through made sense, given that premise. Yes the Swedish (?) passenger took the gun away from the jealous man, but none of the other passengers talked about what had just happened to either clarify that the gun had nothing to do with it or that the guy had nearly or potentially killed them all if the plane crashes. Surely some would believe he was entirely to blame! Or the crew would explain what the facts are and that the gunshot was not the cause. No one even mentions that they have a homicidal man onboard and they all just act like he’s no longer a threat. Even the Swede gives him the gun back when he asks, only to watch him immediately get up with the intention of killing the man he wants to kill in the first place! No one else knows or cares.
This alone ruins any credibility the movie had. But wait, there’s more! After the engine failure, supposedly there are 11 minutes they have to make up to reach San Francisco. And they think they have made it up, until the navigator realizes he made a terrible mistake and got confused about miles vs nautical miles. But then shortly afterwards 11 minutes becomes the magic number again. The only hinted at explanation that is given for how they made this time up is that they flew slightly slower and lower to conserve fuel. If that’s true, why weren’t they doing that earlier? Instead they throw luggage overboard but never discussed whether that helped or not. Apparently it did!
Finally, most of the final scene is ludicrous, with the exception of Dan Roman walking off at the very end whistling the memorable theme, which was perfect. My criticism is of the lack of seriousness concerning the multiple engine fires and fuel leaks. Yeah, the press is there but the passengers disembark as though everything was normal, except for the rush to avoid the press and see loved ones. No emergency procedures. No cautions from the crew, just sauntering down the steps. The PR guy is smoking a cigar! I honestly don’t know what would have been procedure in the 50s for a near disaster. But certainly medical personnel would have been on hand to evaluate any possible injuries, information would have been written down about reimbursement for the luggage, follow up by the FAA, or SOMETHING. And the crew all just says good night and walks away like it was just another flight. Even if formal inquiries were not done in the 1950s, I still can’t imagine they wouldn’t have wanted to talk about what they just survived amongst themselves, even if briefly. Not to mention that the attempted murderer is allowed to disembark normally too!
Also I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the slap scene that obviously plays into the 1980 Airplane. It wasn’t believable in 1954 but gives an antecedent to the hilarious scene in Airplane. Wayne really wasn’t that heroic. He just had to be the voice of reason and calmness in the midst of Robert Stack’s meltdown as the lead pilot.
The movie was too long and 20 or more minutes could have easily been cut. Even drawn out, I was mostly entertained, despite my criticism, and enjoyed seeing where disaster films began.

2024.06.09 15:13 Ilikememes8642 Doncaster Rovers to Glory - Part 2
 | Welcome to part 2 of my Doncaster save! If you missed Part 1, I'll link it here https://www.reddit.com/seriousfifacareers/comments/1cy5zjm/doncaster_rovers_to_glory_part_1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button submitted by Ilikememes8642 to seriousfifacareers [link] [comments] We're back for Part 2! So last time out, we reached mid November. We had a decent start to the season, being in 6th place after 17 games and we had 2 cup ties, in the fa cup against an unconfirmed opponent and in Round 2 of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy against Grimsby. Before we look at how we got on in these fixtures though, we turn our attention to the January business. Nathan Butler-Oyedeji signed from Arsenal on a short-term loan Unsurprisingly, a few of our loanees were recalled by their parent clubs. Matthew Craig returned to Tottenham after some underwhelming performances at Centre-Back, and Billy Waters returned to fellow League 2 side Wrexham after only managing 5 appearances. However, the biggest surprise was Bolton's decision to recall Conor Carty, who managed 13 goal contributions during his time at the club. This left us short up front, so we signed 21 year old Striker Nathan Butler-Oyedeji on a short-term loan deal from Arsenal. We also made a free signing. With Jon Taylor confirming he won't renew his contract, we agreed terms to bring in Irish winger Dylan Connolly on a pre-contract deal from Bohemians. However, he joined up with the club (Unexpectedly) on 1st January. Apart from that, it was a quiet window. We did sell a few academy players, selling 4 for a combined £745,000. We do have a few pre-contract deals for next season (which I won't reveal until Part 4) and we have a few players going on a free at the end of this season, which I'll go into more detail later. Now let's see how Doncaster have faired from where we last saw them in November. Doncaster have shown some good form, sitting 2nd with 10 games to go We have now reached March 12th and Doncaster are in a very good position to get promoted to League 1. The Rovers sit 2nd in the league, 7 points clear of 4th place Stockport, with 10 games left. It started off very poor, with Doncaster losing 5 league games in a row from a 7-4 defeat against Swindon on 21st November until a 4-0 loss to Tranmere on 16th December. This caused them to slip down the table, going as low as 10th. However, since then, Doncaster have won 11 out of 13 games and stormed up the league. The last 10 games won't be easy, with games against Notts County, Bradford, Mansfield and Wrexham still to come. If Doncaster keep up their impressive form, that 2nd last game of the season against Wrexham could very well be a title decider. We will see how they get on soon. Now let's turn our attention to the cup competitions, starting with the fa cup We made it to the 3rd round, putting in an admirable performance away at Middlesbrough We were drawn against fellow League 2 side Tranmere in Round 2, and managed to achieve a 4-3 victory, which is impressive considering they would beat us 4-0 in the league a few weeks later. The Rovers were full of optimism when drawn against Middlesbrough in the 3rd round, and would've been overjoyed when new loan signing Nathan Butler-Oyedeji scored a hat-trick in the first half to put Doncaster 3-0 up. However, Middlesbrough managed to catch up and then beat us comfortably in the replay. The lads did themselves proud and everyone (except the board, thanks again EA) will be happy with how we performed. Oxford haunting us in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy In the Bristol Street Motors Trophy, we scraped past Grimsby in the 2nd Round, obtaining a narrow 5-4 win. However, the Round of 16 draw wasn't very kind, putting us against the same Oxford team that beat us in the group stage. Unsurprisingly, we couldn't handle them and lost again. Aliman Walid will be hoping to get revenge on the U's if Doncaster get promoted to League One next season (and if Oxford don't get promoted) Squad stats - March 2024 Aliman Walid has pleased the board so far in terms of what they're expecting him to achieve this season. The promotion fight is exactly what they were hoping for and gaining automatic promotion would be an even greater accomplishment. In terms of his financial objective, the small fire sale of youth prospects in January has amassed to 17% of what the board were hoping to achieve. With a number of decent players currently in the academy, this number will likely rise next season. Aliman also has to choose 1 academy player to play 50% of games next season, which he is not short of options for. Finally, avoiding defeat against Tranmere will be crucial for the Brand Exposure objective, which is to avoid defeat in 5 consecutive home games. Failure to do so will mean Doncaster will need to win their last 5 home games, including the games against Mansfield and Wrexham. There is a clear favourite in goal Looking at the squad, Lo-Tutala has kept his starting place in goal. Louis Jones has somewhat restored his reputation at the club and racked up a few appearances. Ian Lawlor however doesn't like sitting on the bench and has handed in a transfer request. Therefore, he hasn't played a single game since the last part. Also, there is still no clean sheet at all for the goalkeepers. Will they get 1 before the end of the season? Competition at both Full Back positions In Defence, Olowu and Bailey have kept their partnership going strong at the Centre Back spots. Richard Wood and Jay McGrath have managed to get a number of appearances but Tom Anderson has struggled to get any gametime lately. Left Back and Right Back are much more contested though. On the left, competition has remained fierce between James Maxwell and Jack Senior with both players getting a fair share of minutes. The same can also be said recently for Right Back, where Jamie Sterry has improved and is pushing Tom Nixon for minutes. Dylan Connolly has struggled to make an impact Harrison Biggins has worked his way back into the team with some impressive performances, being rotated regularly with Zain Westbrooke and Ben Close. Despite this, he will be leaving at the end of the season alongside veteran Tommy Rowe. George Broadbent has had a disappointing season, struggling to break into the team. On the left side of midfield, the situation has remained the same. Habeeb Adelakun is the main starter and Kyle Hurst the dependable understudy. It will be interesting to see what happens at the end of the season with Adelakun returning to Lincoln. On the right side, Molyneux has remained the strong favourite, making the joint-most appearances for the club this season. However, the battle for the understudy has taken an unexpected twist, as new signing Dylan Connolly has struggled so far, and Jon Taylor has come into some good form of late, grabbing a few unlikely goal contributions and pushing Connolly to 3rd choice. The strikers are just insane, especially Miller George Miller has 65 goal contributions this season. The best player in the league and we'll be fortunate to keep him next season. Joe Ironside has also shown some impressive performances and knows how to get the crowd going. Maxime Biamou can make an impact off the bench and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji has already made his mark, especially after that Middlesbrough fa cup game. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that Caolan Lavery is at the club, but he won't be for much longer as he'll be moving on once his contract expires. Current Team Lineup That's all for Part 2! Will Doncaster go up? Will they finally get a clean sheet? Will Caolan Lavery actually do anything? Find out in Part 3 which will be coming out very soon! Hope you enjoyed reading through. |

2024.06.09 15:10 John_Swift1 How I passed my SHRM-CP (without the Learning System)
As I was studying for the SHRM-CP exam, I came across several posts on here that were useful in helping me along the process, so I thought I would share some information on how I passed for future test takers. Please note that I did NOT purchase the SHRM Learning System. I studied by myself using free online resources and a few books I bought off Amazon. Prep/Study Time
I studied for about 4–5 weeks. On weekdays I studied between 1–3 hours per day, on the weekends I would do 4–6 hours per day, and during the last 7–10 days, I studied about 4–6 hours per day. Of course, I took a few nights off here and there as well. Keep in mind that you may need to study more or less given your work experience (I have a Master’s in I/O Psych and about 2 years of relevant work experience). To be honest, I wish I had started studying 2–3 weeks earlier. I would recommend giving yourself at least 1.5–2 months to prepare for this exam.
Resources:
1) SHRM BoCK — This is a free PDF that you can download off the SHRM website. I used this resource to guide my overall learning. I dissected the entire document and made flashcards on Quizlet for everything I did not know. In particular, I focused on the “key concepts” for each section and made sure I knew the definition of each term. There is also a glossary of terms and definitions at the end of the document, so I added all those terms into Quizlet as well. The glossary does not have every definition you will need to know, but it’s a good start. For the terms I could not find a definition for, I would either
A) Google it
B) see how the SHRM website defines it,
C) use one of my other resources to find a definition
D) go to Youtube to learn more.
2) SHRM-CP Exam by certexamdb Test Prep: You can find in here
I explored a few different practice exams, but this was by far the most useful. You cannot use this as your only resource, but it is a great start.
3) PHSPHR Professional in Human Resources Certification Study Guide by Anne Bogardus: You can actually find a PDF of this online for free. At some point throughout the study process (usually after a practice exam), you will likely realize that you need to go into more depth with certain concepts. This is where this study guide comes in. I didn’t read it word for word, but I spent a few hours skimming through it, went through some of the practice questions at the end of each chapter, and read in detail certain sections that I was weak on. This resource is very detailed but not too complicated which is great. I would highly recommend allocating 1–2 study days just for going through this resource. Keep in mind that it will provide you with more detail than you need, but you can just focus on the concepts that are relevant to the SHRM-CP.
4) SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP Certification Practice Exams (All in One) by Kelly and Simon-Walters. About 10 days before my exam, I came across this resource which consisted of 500 questions that were broken down into each of the sections outlined in the SHRM BoCK. When I took the practice exam in the certexamdb Test Prep I scored terribly on the situational judgment questions. This book is GREAT for preparing you for those questions. Just keep in mind two things when using this resource:
It will consist of some questions with terms or concepts that you did not come across in any of the other resources — you can just ignore those (it’s extra information that you do not necessarily need), (2) the quick answer key has some inaccuracies (ignore it) but the answer key with detailed explanations is correct so make sure you use that when scoring yourself. Make sure you answer both the SHRM-CP and the SHRM-SCP questions (they are both relevant). This really helps with the situational judgment questions, but also with knowing how some of the terms and definitions apply in a real setting. When focusing on these questions, I realized that I had memorized some definitions, but I still didn’t know how to apply those concepts. This book helps with that.
5) Quizlet Flashcards created by other people — A lot of people have created quizlet sets (even from the Learning System) that they have uploaded. Those are free, so make sure you use them! Also, some people have even created practice sets for exam questions (which I think are from the learning system as well), so make sure you review those as well! Basic Study Tips: Unfortunately, without the Learning System, there is no single resource that you can use to prepare for this exam. Therefore, make sure you use a few resources just to make sure you get exposed to most of the material that will be on the exam. As you go through each resource, keep revising your flashcards and adding new ones. Make sure you periodically review flashcards as you go rather than waiting to cram everything in a week before the exam. When you go through practice questions, you will soon realize that you often need to know more than just the definition… you need to know when and how something applies as well. For example, you need to know what FMLA is, but you also need to know what the eligibility criteria is, when it is applicable, etc… I had one massive set of flashcards (about 500), and then I also had smaller sets of flashcards for some sections (e.g., a set for HR Laws, another set for Finance/Accounting terms). I would memorize using the smaller sets, but then I went through the giant set I had created a few days before my exam to make sure I knew everything. Do a ton of practice questions and understand why you got certain questions wrong.
6) SHRM LMS Books
Here’s a quick overview of the step-by-step process I took to study and prepare:
I finished the exam in a little over three hours. You get no breaks, but you can always take them as needed. Time is likely not going to be an issue. Here are some takeaways that I had about the exam: — There were surprisingly few questions on US Employment Laws & Regulations and Labor Unions. I spent a lot on these sections when studying, but there were not many questions at all on these topics. — The test questions were different than any of the practice exams I had taken (however you should be fine as long as you know the material) — The situational judgment questions can be exhausting with having to read 2–3 paragraphs for each 2–3 questions. — Make sure you carefully read the question. For example, you are often asked “what is the first step you would take” or “what strategy would you use.” These can be tricky, but they can also easily reveal the right answer. — No matter how hard you study, you will encounter a few questions where you come across terms that you’re unfamiliar with and you will have to guess blindly. Just try to eliminate what you do know is wrong and take your best guess. Don’t stress too much about it. — Use the highlight, strike through, and flagging options during the exam. It helps a lot. — Often, the correct answers for the situational judgment questions have something to do with (1) getting leadership buy-in, (2) having HR be a strategic partner, (3) making sure the action is aligned with the org’s mission and vision (4) HR being proactive, (5) doing a needs assessment of some sort, (6) having HR be some sort of facilitator.

I studied for about 4–5 weeks. On weekdays I studied between 1–3 hours per day, on the weekends I would do 4–6 hours per day, and during the last 7–10 days, I studied about 4–6 hours per day. Of course, I took a few nights off here and there as well. Keep in mind that you may need to study more or less given your work experience (I have a Master’s in I/O Psych and about 2 years of relevant work experience). To be honest, I wish I had started studying 2–3 weeks earlier. I would recommend giving yourself at least 1.5–2 months to prepare for this exam.
Resources:
1) SHRM BoCK — This is a free PDF that you can download off the SHRM website. I used this resource to guide my overall learning. I dissected the entire document and made flashcards on Quizlet for everything I did not know. In particular, I focused on the “key concepts” for each section and made sure I knew the definition of each term. There is also a glossary of terms and definitions at the end of the document, so I added all those terms into Quizlet as well. The glossary does not have every definition you will need to know, but it’s a good start. For the terms I could not find a definition for, I would either
A) Google it
B) see how the SHRM website defines it,
C) use one of my other resources to find a definition
D) go to Youtube to learn more.
2) SHRM-CP Exam by certexamdb Test Prep: You can find in here
I explored a few different practice exams, but this was by far the most useful. You cannot use this as your only resource, but it is a great start.
3) PHSPHR Professional in Human Resources Certification Study Guide by Anne Bogardus: You can actually find a PDF of this online for free. At some point throughout the study process (usually after a practice exam), you will likely realize that you need to go into more depth with certain concepts. This is where this study guide comes in. I didn’t read it word for word, but I spent a few hours skimming through it, went through some of the practice questions at the end of each chapter, and read in detail certain sections that I was weak on. This resource is very detailed but not too complicated which is great. I would highly recommend allocating 1–2 study days just for going through this resource. Keep in mind that it will provide you with more detail than you need, but you can just focus on the concepts that are relevant to the SHRM-CP.
4) SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP Certification Practice Exams (All in One) by Kelly and Simon-Walters. About 10 days before my exam, I came across this resource which consisted of 500 questions that were broken down into each of the sections outlined in the SHRM BoCK. When I took the practice exam in the certexamdb Test Prep I scored terribly on the situational judgment questions. This book is GREAT for preparing you for those questions. Just keep in mind two things when using this resource:
It will consist of some questions with terms or concepts that you did not come across in any of the other resources — you can just ignore those (it’s extra information that you do not necessarily need), (2) the quick answer key has some inaccuracies (ignore it) but the answer key with detailed explanations is correct so make sure you use that when scoring yourself. Make sure you answer both the SHRM-CP and the SHRM-SCP questions (they are both relevant). This really helps with the situational judgment questions, but also with knowing how some of the terms and definitions apply in a real setting. When focusing on these questions, I realized that I had memorized some definitions, but I still didn’t know how to apply those concepts. This book helps with that.

Here’s a quick overview of the step-by-step process I took to study and prepare:
- Go through SHRM-BoCK and create flashcards
- Go through and memorize SHRM Learning System Flashcards (You can find these on Quizlet and search “SHRM Learning System”)
- Take certexamdb Test Prep Practice Exam, review, and identify weak areas.
- Go through the Bogardus PHSPHR book and focus on weak areas (fill in flashcards)
- Memorize the newly created flashcards for weak areas, flag ones that you continually get wrong or confused with.
- YouTube hazy concepts and terms to gain a richer understanding, use Khan Academy when applicable.
- Retake certexamdb Practice Exam
- Go through questions in the book by Kelly and Simon-Walters
- Identify weak areas, read through explanations, create and memorize flash cards as needed
- A few days before my exam, focus on my large stack of flashcards, go through other people’s flashcard sets, and go through practice exams on Quizlet.

I played a lot of a game that is very similar to Rucoy Online
(I won’t say the name so the post won’t be deleted) and I want to offer a few improvements to what’s in this game
I didn’t write about artifacts, pets and quests because they can create an imbalance in the online game.

(I won’t say the name so the post won’t be deleted) and I want to offer a few improvements to what’s in this game
- Lighting (why do underground locations have lighting?) it would be more logical if some locations were not lit, then torches would make sense
- The secret of the map (why the entire map is immediately open to the player) unexplored areas should be painted black
- Weapon enchantment (poisoning, stunning, igniting, devastation, charms mobs)
- New traps (teleporting, summoning, dart trap, poisoning) The game only has a spiked trap, which is very few.
- Different types of weapons balanced by attack speed (why there are only 3 weapons), you can add subtypes of weapons. For the knight, a mace (stuns enemies), a chain (deals long-range damage and disarms enemies), a halberd (repels enemies and causes splash damage). For the archer, a crossbow (deals long-range splash damage like a magician) and poisoned, igniting, stunning arrows. For the magician of the book (repels enemies, poisoning, devastation, charm mobs, summoning skeletons).
