I couldn't clear the prelims in my first three attempts, despite all the hard work! I read conventional books like Laxmikanth, Spectrum, etc., multiple times. I read and revised Mrunal's handbook for the economy (the big one) and PT 365's multiple times. I scored above 100 in mock tests (mostly Vision tests, with a few Insights and Forum simulator tests). I was a blind believer in toppers and "the conventional attempt strategies" – leaving questions I had no clue about on the first look, marking the 50-50 or 25-75 questions in the first go, and then coming around in multiple rounds to ARRIVE and MARK the options with confidence at the end. My attempts for the first three times were 89, 83, and 87. Each time, I missed the cutoff by 2-4 marks.
Then came the 4th attempt. I'm a cricket lover (once loved Dravid) and these days a fan of Rohit Sharma. I was sitting in the exam hall with the question paper. I was there after a year of bloody hard work. I had done everything I could (I had made short notes of the PTs to revise on the days before the exam, and the same with tough areas like peasants' revolts, pre-1857 history, etc.). I went through the questions, using the 50-50 method, leaving questions and stuff. Thirty minutes passed by in no time, and I saw I was on the 58th question and had only marked 3 or 4 of them in the OMR. Bloody hell! For a second, I remembered my prior attempts. It was just like this. I remembered my past three times when I finished and went back home on the bus, with each question I attempted and left popping into my head.
From the next second onwards, I started attempting bravely. My frequency of marking in the OMR increased to 80-90 percent. I felt like Rohit Sharma batting. I knew I was well-prepared, so I decided not to respect the questions too much. I was going to hit them now. The brave attempting served as positive feedback each second. I got more courage to attempt, eliminating stuff. I was living in that moment. I was taking each question objectively, with no burden of my preparation. I remembered how I checked the key in the last three years! What I learned and felt when I was checking the keys. "Shit, I could have marked this question. Damn, I made a simple mistake. This was such easy logic." I wanted my mind to have the mindset I have while checking the keys of this paper or while I trace my markings on the bus back. The 50-50 questions and what I left reduced significantly. I had like 5 minutes more to finish the exam. I went back and played all the questions like in the last over of a T20 match.
I felt like I messed up this attempt as I had no clue how many questions I left. I thought I attempted only 80-83. I counted the unmarked questions when the invigilator was about to collect my paper. It was just 3. I had attempted 97. I checked the answer key and scored 124 marks.
In the days leading up to the prelims, I started watching Rohit Sharma's game to get my mindset right. Clear head. If the ball is in the right area, I'm going to hit it. If I can understand the Economic Survey inside and out, if I can understand The Hindu inside and out, if I can understand Mrunal's economy inside and out, if I can read PT 365s inside and out, if I can write GS1, 2, 3, 4 papers with the feeling, "Ah, this one!" I know I am talented (sourced from hard work) like Rohit Sharma. I can middle the ball.
Don't over-respect questions and defend yourself too much. YOU ARE DIFFERENT. NO TOPPER'S STRATEGY WILL FIT YOU. And solving mock tests means you are training yourself according to the institutes' way, NOT UPSC's. An independent set of questions by UPSC makes the situation unpredictable (they are unpredictable because you have predictions and expectations driven by the mocks you gave). Live in that moment. You deserve to be happy while checking keys. So foresee that and do everything needed to satisfy yourself after the prelims—to have the feeling that you left no stone unturned.

Saying this as someone who’s favorite game IS PoE 1, my biggest criticism of it is how much of a brain rot zoomer skinnerbox it is. I think that slower will 100% be more fun in PoE 2 with the new combat, and the only reason slow is boring in PoE 1 is because the moment to moment combat is bad. I enjoy PoE 1 for its depth, freedom, and aesthetic, and I hope the epileptic degeneracy that’s fried the dopamine receptors in some people doesn’t hold back PoE 2.
I also think certain streamers who make a living primarily from being really good at PoE 1 and really knowledgeable about it have a financial incentive to leverage their criticism in a way that steers PoE 2 into being more like PoE 1 in terms of mechanical skill that is required. It was pretty clear from the LA play test that the top PoE content creators were pretty bad at dodge timing and whiff punishing.
At the end of the day I’ll still play and enjoy PoE 2 and 1 regardless of this but considering they are separate games I hope GGG really leans into the skillful action combat. If the endgame speed of PoE 2 is insane, the feel of the combat will get totally lost and ultimately be for nothing, imo.
Edit: Also, I really enjoy playing games with friends and it’s hard to do that when in PoE 1, like D3 and D4, team play amounts to playing follow the leader.

First things first, I know that this is an assembly exclusively thread, BUT thought time I realized the only guys that have a clue about operating systems/low leveler level programming are you in this thread, ( is a joke) and stackoverflow is worse..So this is the question:
I have this PE that I want to load dynamically using a PE loader:
Code:
void excep() {
try {
int k = 11;
throw (k);
}
catch (int j) {
std::cout << j;
}
}
int main() {
excep();
return 0;
}
And this is the PE loader:

8. UWOP_SAVE_XMM128 = 8, /* info == XMM reg number, offset in next slot */

It performs the necessary actions to load the PE (fix IAT, relocs, load the sections), and then I add a dynamic function table using RtlAddFunctionTable() and a VEH which is catching exceptions of code 0xE06D7363 (that is the code of C++ exceptions and not SEH). Then I perform a StackWalk inside that VEH, and finally call the language specific handler of that function that raised the exception.
The problem is that after that call, the loader breaks at runtime and does not handle that exception (although addresses and everything are correct, based on some tests I did).
Why is this happening?
If any of you has dealt with Win Api in the past can take a look.(If you delete, my question I will understand).

For a little background my husband (25m) and I (20f) have my husband's best friend and business partner (40m) living with us while he goes through a divorce. Before my husband and I met they both partied at clubs just about every weekend, and for the whole of our relationship he has talked about how much fun he had and how wild it was. BUT he also talks about how he would never do it again because he doesn't want to risk our relationship, or our son's (2 month old) future. We both did come to the conclusion that there is too much inherent risk of cheating at places like this.
Here is what's concerning me; him and his bf (best friend) went to this hotel's restaurant (that is near the area where the clubs are at), do get some work done relating to their business. They have done this often to focus better, and I've even have gone a few times before the baby was born, so I've trusted him.
Well last night (Friday) they did the same thing after we ran our errands, which would have put him there 10:30-11:00pm. That's not out of the ordinary since he's a night owl, and they often do this after their day jobs and stuff. However my husband didn't let me know he got there, only checked in twice the whole time he was out, each one of those tests was 2-5 words, came back at 2:40-ish am when he told me they wouldn't be long, was pretty close to the drunkest I've ever seen him, and smelled a little like alcohol.
When he did get back his bf immediately left, which he said he was going to meet a girl. Then my husband started telling me about things that happened, and some of it just didn't add up; he told me that he had 5 drinks, but the bar at the hotel closses at 11pm so he wouldn't have had enough time to get all of that. He also told me that they coincidentally bumped into another person who works on their business every once in a while when they were there. Her day job used to be a bottle woman and she goes to the clubs a lot still. That is also where they met the woman his bf went back out with.
I've been feeling all uneasy about the situation since then, and today my husband told me a little bit more; apparently his friend and the lady went to my husband's favorite nightclub when they went back out… but that club closes at 2am, and they got back past then. So I asked him about it and he immediately got defensive (clubs have been a little bit of a sore subject before so I'm not ruling it out that that's just why he got defensive), but said that there was a special event after hours. I didn't think clubs did that… especially when there is only about 3 more hours before the sun starts to rise.
At this point I'm thinking they just went to a club since it would take them 20-30isg minutes to get home from there, and they got home almost exactly that after it would have closed. I don't just want to think or accuse him of doing something he didn't do though so I look into it a bit more and find the lady’s Instagram that they work with, and found that she and her friends are clubbing… one of them is also from our of town here celebrating their birthday. On top of that they were clubbing that night, and have pictures of them having dinner at a restaurant (plausibly the one my husband was at, I can't tell) and walking through streets that kinda look like the ones between the hotel and the clubs. I won't take the assumptions I'm making from the Instagram pictures as fact though, since I'm not 100% sure.
The whole gist of the story is that I think my husband might have gone to the hotel, have actually met the girls there, and went with them to the clubs instead of working..
So at this point I'm feeling crushed. If he lied about this then could he have cheated or lusted for another? I'm about average looking, and all of these women are basically models. My husband has often described the bottle women who work at these places as models too… plus I have large shoulders for a woman, and a postpartum body.
I'm praying this is just my insecurities and not the truth, but all of this sits so wrong with me… I've prayed for guidance but idk what to do… should I confront him about it, or is this a situation where God would preach patience? Has anyone been in this position and/or have some advice?

Hello everyone! Hopefully my story reaches whoever needs it. I sadly struggled with BV for 9 months straight before it finally went away. It all started when I was sexually active with a guy that was no good for me. It was my first time ever having BV so I didn’t understanding what was going on with my body at the time. After ending the connection my vaginal health wouldn’t get better for the life of me. I was constantly going to the clinic getting tested, making multiple doctors appts but no matter how much antibiotics was given to me I would still have BV. The antibiotics I took were Flagyl (took this about 4 times) and Clindamycin cream (used this once) and both gave me the same effects. I always finished the meds and my downstairs area would smell like dirty water! I was miserable and super insecure. Before having any vaginal issues I was drinking a lots of water and taking my probiotics on a regular basis. In those nine months nothing was working! I spent around $200 in probiotics trying different brands and different strains to see what would work for me. I can’t say they didn’t work because I did feel and smell a difference but I still wasn’t back to normal. Finally after a long 9 months with lots of research and a good amount of money spent I am happy to say I am free of the shackles of BV. I been BV free for 4 months now. Here are some tips for anyone struggling.

1. Drink lots of water! I know it’s very cliché to say this but dehydration can intensify body odors. I recommend drinking about 40oz - 64oz a day. Stop drinking water when your pee is clear. You don’t wanna over hydrate your body and lose electrolytes.
   
2. Invest in a good probiotic and be patient. Sadly a lot of reviews online for probiotics are fake and some companies pay for good reviews. Avoid the brands that have reviews like "after one day of taking this probiotic all my problems went away." Learn from my mistake of being gullible enough to believe that. Look for probiotics with variety of strains, between 7 to 20 strains will do. CFU count can be a little tricky but I notice my body reacts will to 50 cfu. I don’t suggest 100 cfu because it could give you adverse effects and make your BV or yeast infection worst. If you need any recommendations feel free to message me.
   
3. TEA! There are lots of different teas that have amazing benefits for you vag. I researched the benefits of a lot of teas before i came across hibiscus tea. This tea has completely changed my life for the better. Funny enough I had a dream about hibiscus tea after i brought it and something told me to give it a try. Before i tell you this recipe I recommend you do your own research on this tea. If you have low blood pressure I do not recommend you drink this because it could lower it even more. Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants and assist the body in fighting infections. You could drink the tea alone but i personally didn’t feel the most benefits from doing that. What I do is brew a cup of tea for about 5 mins, add a SPLASH of Apple cider vinegar with the mother. ACV does have some antibacterial and anti fungal properties that could help with health of your gut and vaginal Microbiome and the "mother" is the cloudy particles you see within the vinegar, which is made of good bacteria. Not a shot but a splash of it, took much ACV can be harmless to your throat and teeth. To sweeten the tea I use 100% organic, honey. This is optional but if you have pure 100% pure cranberry juice not from concentrate in your home add a splash of that too. Literally a hour after drinking this I smelled significantly better and continued drinking this for 7 days straight, once a day. My ph balance was right back to normal on day 7. Now I make this for myself about 2-3 times a week. If you come to the conclusion that you can’t consume hibiscus tea a good alternative is green tea, ginger, turmeric, peppermint, licorice, and black tea.
   
4. Take a shot of Pure 100% cranberry juice not from concentrate twice a day. Yes cranberries are mainly used for UTIs, but with long-term consumption, it can help the overall pH balance of the vagina. I recommend the Lakewood Juice brand.
   
5. Ask for a different antibiotic. Please be vocal about a specific antibiotic not working for your body. A lot of doctors love to prescribe Flagyl because it’s considered the standard for BV but it doesn’t completely eliminate the problem. For any of my ladies who have been prescribed Flagyl over and over again please consider trying oral clindamycin! This is the only antibiotic that has completely cleared my BV. Please be cautious though, it can be really hard on the stomach so i do recommend you take a probiotic about an hour after the dose. For example, if you have to take two pills a day after your last pill take a probiotic a hour after. This is to prevent the loss of the healthy bacteria in your gut. YOU DON’T TO GET C DIFF. If you have IBS, Ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease please talk to your doctor to see if it’s a good fit for you. Tips 1-4 are for replenishing your Microbiome and maintaining your pH balance.
   

If you come to the end of this post, thank you so much for reading. I hope my story encourages you and gives you a sense of hope that you can gain control of your body again. Feel free to ask any questions or message me! F**k BV.

Friend of mine owns a HP OMEN 30L PC with AMD Ryzen 9 5900x CPU. Sadly the PC is shipped with the most trash CPU cooler ever, so the CPU reaches temp like 65-70c in idle. Pretty much since he bought the PC he has had issues with more demanding games, where the PC just shutsdown/crashes.
We decided to try undervolting the CPU with Omen Gaming HUB software that is shipped with the PC. Tried to undervolt from 1.4v to 1.3v and 176x core multiplier to 150x core multiplier. Initial tests show that he now has less than 40c in idle, and the PC has yet to turn off while gaming. Previously his PC would crash 100% of the time within an hour on games like Rust or Baldur's Gate 3, after the undervolt he could play Rust for multiple hours. However, he now feel some small shuttering/lag while gaming.
I tried to google for "AMD Rryzen 9 5900x core multiplier" and "AMD Rryzen 9 5900x undervolt", but cannot see anyone mentioning a core multiplier in the hundreds. I see multiple people say that they have a 1.25v undervolt with 4.4Gz but don't know how that would translate to core multiplier in this software. And my friend does not want to enter BIOS.
I'm wondering if the PC was sold with an unstable overclock, as every other picture and example of Omen Gaming HUB software I find, you can increase the core multiplier higher than the default, but his default setting is the max setting (176x core multiplier).
Does anyone know what is reasonable core multiplier and core voltage values for a undervolt?

Especially if you’re from Louisiana. I took the test Friday, can I expect to see something from them on Monday?
Ever since that one guy/girl posted on here about how their quick results said they passed, but they actually failed, I don’t trust the quick results. I googled everywhere trying to find another case of this happening, or at least something that said that the quick results are 100% accurate, but I’ve only found blogs and message board posts that claim the quick results are 100% accurate, no reputable sources. Anyone here who knows they passed, still hanging around that could tell me how long yall waited for an email from the BON?

In this post, I will show results of some testings I've conducted regarding the Life Drain disease.
Some background on me
I've been playing Outward since May 3rd, 2024. I only bought the base game because I thought it is the Definitive Edition, but it turned out to be the Old Outward. I have then bought the Three Brothers DLC to make it possible to play both the Old Outward and the DE Outward. Since I have been playing the Old one from the start, I continue to do so without converting the save to DE because I found the Old Outward is easier to play compared to DE. And that is the reason why these testings are in the Old Outward, not the DE Outward.
Some info on Life Drain prevention
As many of you have known in various posts on Reddit of how to prevent Life Drain, you can do so if you attain 100% status effect resistance. So I won't go over details on how to achieve that.
Before testing
I have obtained the following before starting to do my faction quest: full Slayer set, weaver backpack, Miasmic Tolerance passive skill and one Bracing Potion (For some reason, Hex Cleaner does not give me 75% status resist. I guess that is because I am playing the Old Outward). As you can see, I did not have the Djinn lantern yet because this is my first playthrough (not first character, I scrapped my four ones at the beginning of the game to learn the game) and I have just finished my faction quest.
Test #1 - Getting Exalted and see how the Life Drain disease is contracted
Day 259 @ 22h00 - Before joining the peace conference in Monsoon (Holy Mission questline)
Day 259 @ 22h10 - Before joining the ritual to get Exalted and having no extra resist against status effect (except the 15% from being well-rested)
Day 259 @ 22h20 - In the "In Between" and got the Exalted passive skill, no Life Drain contracted. So the passive skill was gained between 22h10 and 22h20.
Sleep until Day 269 before 22h, then wait patiently until 22h20.
The Life Drain disease is contracted on Day 269 @ 22h15
Sleep until Day 279 before 22h, then drink a Bracing Potion @ 22h00 while wearing full Slayer set and Weaver backpack (160% status effect resistance).
The next stage of Life Drain is not contracted @ 22h15, even after the potion effect wears off.
On the following days 289, 299 and 309 @ 22h15, the Life Drain disease did not progress to its next stage despite not having 100% resist (actually 85% resist because lacking of the lantern).
Test #1 Result: Only have stage 1 Life Drain (be noted that I have not quit nor reloaded the game during this test)
Theory after Test #1: The disease only need to be resisted once per playing session. Further testing needed...
Test #2 - Testing the theory above with a backup save
Day 260 @ 0h33 - Before the ritual
Day 260 @ 0h38 - "In Between" with Exalted gained. The skill was gained between 0h33 and 0h38.
Sleep until Day 270 before 0h30, then drink a Bracing Potion @ 0h30 while wearing full Slayer set and Weaver backpack.
The Life Drain disease is NOT contracted on Day 270 @ between 0h33 and 1h00
Continue the test until Day 280 and 290, still no Life Drain.
Test #2 Result: No Life Drain contracted. The theory is partially confirmed. The disease only need to be resisted once. Further testing on game reload...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test #3 - Testing the theory on game reload using the previous save
Reload the game using the Test #2 save: exit to main menu and quit the game manually.
The game is reloaded on Day 290 @ 10h18
Sleep until Day 300 before 10h, then wait patiently until 10h18.
The Life Drain disease is contracted on Day 300 @ 10h18
Test #3 Result: Life Drain stage 1 is contracted after 10 days after a reload. The Theory is confirmed. The disease only need to be resisted once per playing session.
CONCLUSION:

• Life Drain prevention is possible but not in the long run (Old Outward edition)
  
• The disease only need to be resisted once (by achieving 100% status effect resistance or higher) per playing session.
  
• After reloading the game, the 10-day timer is reset at that particular in-game time.
  

SOLUTION:

• Be wary of the timer when booting up the game.
  
• Manually reset the timer by reloading before the 10 days in game if not having 100% resist at the time.
  
• If your playing session gonna be long then it is recommended to resist the disease once. Either by at the start by sleeping straight 10 days, or by doing it after playing for 10 days in game.
  

PERSONAL THOUGHT: This is gonna be tedious for some people including me. Despite the double damage benefit from being Exalted, I think I won't take it on my next Holy Mission playthrough. Exalted my ass, more like Exhausted.
\ May need further testing on whether the disease can be contracted after resisting it twice in two play separated sessions (two reloads). Currently I cannot do this because I don't have the lantern and only have one Bracing Potion. And some further testing needed in the DE Outward...*

Would like to share my CFA experience.
First, I passed Level 1 and 2 on first attempt in 2021 when computerised testing was first implemented due to COVID. Felt both level 1 and 2 was tough but manageable. Passed both borderline above the MPS.
Took a break before starting to attempt level 3 in 2023 due to full time job. Couldn’t handle and hate studying, sick of CFA 😩.
Level 3 1st attempt. Preparation: Used MM videos, CFI question bank and mock papers. Was averaging 60% on CFI mocks. Wasn’t very strict on marking essay questions. Total spent about 200hours, but of which, only 100 was real focus study. Rest was just watching MM videos without taking notes. Was familiar with cheat sheet. Not super familiar with all the content. Took it light and easy, still went out with friends and stuff.
Actual exam: Felt managed time ok as managed to complete on time but with little time to spare to check.
After exam feeling: Felt quite confident that it would borderline pass again like other 2 levels. As expected at every level, knew that I flunked a handful of questions for each paper.
Result: Boy was I wrong. FAILED borderline. Did v poorly in ethics😟 and derivatives.
Level 3 2nd attempt: Preparation: This time, did not use MM videos at all, quickly ran through whole CFI curriculum. Focused more time on doing test bank questions, focusing on weak areas especially derivatives and ethics. Spent about 100 more hours of focus study time. Averaging mid 60% on mocks. Was very familiar with cheat sheet and good overall knowledge.
Actual Exam: Again felt confident would pass this time, having better overall content knowledge, formulas and how questions would be structured.
After exam feeling: As expected at every level, knew that I flunked a a handful of questions for each paper. Felt quite confident that it would be somewhere borderline pass.
Result: Borderline FAILED AGAIN. Very disappointed. Again, did poorly in derivatives. Improved on ethics but still only 50%. Did worst in alternative asset. I thought this was not the career not for me and wanted to give up.
Level 3 3rd attempt: Preparation: WENT THROUGH curriculum again, this time using 2024 Schweser notes (like I did for Level 1 and 2), wrote down notes this time. did CFI question bank, did same mocks again and new ones provided by CFI. No videos. Averaged high 60s and low 70s on mocks. Spent a good 150hours of focused study. Very familiar with cheat sheet. Familiar with content. Scared going in because I can’t imagine if I failed again.
After exam feeling: SHIT. Felt like it was my worst attempt yet. Stuck on a few questions and just stared at it for long time, did not know how to answer. Wasn’t confident at all with 50% of my answers. DID NOT have any time to check at all. Was typing to the last second. I was certain that I failed. Seriously felt like crying. All that studying gone to waste. Wasn’t good enough to be in this industry. Felt like a big loser. 😢
Results: Passed. I don’t know how but I thank God. This is truly a miracle.
Morale of story:

1. ⁠Don’t give up
2. ⁠The recommended study time for Level 3 is 350 hours. Believe it, don’t get complacent or take short cuts. Put in the hours. Schweser notes is good.
3. ⁠Feeling after exam doesn’t mean a thing. Most important is how much you have prepared.

I am thankful it is over and wish all of you still in the journey to continue pressing on! U will definitely make it.

Hello guys. I have been part of this community for quite a while now and really believe your support and feedback is more beneficial than 1000 doctors (or at least in my country). I am 40 year old male that has been probably suffering from low T since I can remember. I used to be a semipro athlete but it wasn't until my late 20s that I had blood work and saw that my T levels where very low with respect to my lifestyle. (In the low end of the standard 18-64 year old baseline used.) Because I was an athlete and "within" range no doctor agreed to prescribe trt. It wasn't until a 2 years ago where I couldn't take it anymore since it started affecting my Libido and every aspect of my life. I am 204 cm was 120kg throughout my sports career. Rose up to 140kg prior to covid. Post covid I hit new high of 185kg. Thats when I knew I need to get my shit straight. Started carnivore diet May 2023. Was life changing for me. Lost around 20kg first 3 months. Then got on trt in July 2023 . And that was a game changer. Initially my doctor told me to use 1mg/250ml Testoviron once every 2 weeks. But I knew that would suck ( thanks to this subreddit) so I started with 0.5ml every 7 days. Huge change in libido and overall wellbeing but after 3 months felt that a day or 2 prior to injection was feeling low. Also bloodwork on through day showed an ok level of testo but not what I expected. So I shifted injections to every 5 days. I have blood work done every 4-6 months and will share below. My issue now is I have had low platelets throughout my life. (Some autoimmune issue.) My range is usually between 85-110 where baseline is 150-400. So since November my hematocrit levels have surpassed 50% ( 51 in nov23 53 in Feb 24 and 54 june24) Due to my low platelets doctor has refused to allow me to draw blood. And all facilities as well do not accept to donate blood with high hematocrit levels unless with doc prescribed. I have seen another doctor who also refused due to my low platelets count. So now the issue is the doctor wants me to stop trt for a few months to recover my hematocrit levels and then we may restart with much lower doses. I believe this is crazy because it has been really life changing for me in every aspect. But I also feel some side effects of high hematocrit (red face, low energy levels) I am not sure what to expect or what to do next thinking of dialing down my injections or increasing frequency maybe. I hydrate well and been on good diet. But I really don't want to stop trt. I need your help and experience since I can't seem to get any proffesional help in my country since trt is relatively taboo.
Jun2023 ( prior to trt ) -Hematocrit: 43 - glucose 110 - testo 7.08 nmol/ml - platelets 98
Nov 2023 (1 injection/ week 0.5ml) - hematocrit:51 - glucose 100 - testo 16 -platelets 110
Jun 2024 ( every 5 days ) - hematocrit : 54 -glucose : 91 - test 26 -e2 : 74 pg/ml -Platelets : 89
I am sorry for the crazy long post but I have been following almost every subreddit here for over a year to get all information needed but I never found anything that has to do with low platelets.
My current body weight is 140kg I know I have at least 15- 20kgs I need to get rid of. But I have packed a good amount of muscle and strength .

Druid is finally here after the test server and there were a lot of changes, some good, bad, and ugly.
I think it's not really a point of contention that Druid is very overtuned right now, but I think it breaks some of DaD's gameplay fundamentals.
Good

1. The shape-shifting scales now. Test server damage of shape-shifting was pretty much equivalent to punching. Hopefully demonform gets the same treatment. You should be looking to build strength or agi, regardless of spell casting.
   
2. Shape-shifting abilities are relatively balanced. Each form's niche ability has some use and interacts well within each form's kit.
   
3. The spells are diverse, and besides a couple spells, they are mostly balanced. The versatility is pretty high for the class as both a caster and melee character.
   
4. A lot of skill expression through spell casting and balancing shape-shifting. Very engaging gameplay.
   

Bad

1. Scaling on the shape-shifting is way too overtuned. Bears can hit for 300+ damage with 200hp and 50%pdr. They are clunky, which can be a rightful downside, but has a weird upside. You can 180 as an enemy swings and they will do limb damage as they hit your giant ass. Panther can hit move cap and deal massive damage. Even the chicken can hit for over 100 if you stack enough resourcefulness.
   
2. Entangled vines and treant are busted. Vines last way too long and can change the tide of a fight in an instant, and you have 4 charges. In duos and trios, it's a no-brainer to use this and a free kill a lot of the time. Treants are a bit too damaging or tanky depending on how you look at it. I don't think it's as powerful as vines, but still very strong.
   
3. Despite nerfing dark reflection, thorns is back for some reason despite feedback on the test server on complaints about DR on live.
   
4. Instant shape-shifting is very overpowered, will get into more next line.
   

The Ugly

1. Rat fundamentally breaks the game. You can get into areas of the map that are not intended, very exploitable, and I'm surprised it even got added after the test server. If it weren't for Druid's lack of ranged, they'd be absolutely dominating across the board.
   
2. Instant shape-shifting breaks the flow of combat, fights feel silly and literally feels like a game of cat and mouse, but not in a fun way. Compared to the past, it feels like the most drastically different combat change, and that can be good or bad depending on your perspective, but it feels off as you try to kill this shape-shifting juggling hooligan. If you aren't getting one shot in HR, your dealing with shape-shifting spam in norms. Juggling between rat/human/beapanther. Druids pretty much have access to sprint with panther, and savage roar with bear in an instant is another way of putting it too, with no downsides when used correctly, they are very bloated in terms of power creep.
   
3. Overall clunkiness of the shape-shifting should be addressed at some point and probably will.

My ex Sarah, initiated a breakup because I was too physically ill for her to want to take care of me. Long story short but she gave me a rare STD from a past partner that caused permanent damage to my body. I knew it was her because I had only ever had two sex partners my entire life and my other partner had tested negative for that rare STD. Before doctors could find out what was wrong with me, I developed severe and sudden onset symptoms including frequent vomiting and nausea, severe weight loss, and limping as my legs no longer worked properly. It bothered her that we couldn't party and do all the things she wanted to do. Also, Sarah transitioned from male to female in the middle of our relationship and I welcomed it with open arms because I loved her. I went to clubs with her even though I was disabled and tried to make sure she felt loved and supported as much as possible.
Sarah however, would never return the favor. She would often become cold and distant when I was sick and once even left me on the cold floor of a hotel covered in my own vomit and urine. I begged her to call an ambulance and she turned around and pretended to sleep. When I was finally able to get the strength to get off the ground 7 hours later, I called myself an Uber to the hospital. It turned out that I had a stomach blockage. When I confronted her about this she said she didn't believe that I was ever sick because she "had an ex who lied about having cancer". I showed her official paperwork of multiple diagnoses as a result of this STD. She apologized, told me she believed me, but even then still treated me as though I was still an inconvenience. I felt so embarrassed every time she wanted to go out and party, and I could barely even walk.
There were many instances of verbal abuse as well, often in public places. For example, we went out on a date at a bar once. I had let her know that due to a family emergency, I might take out my phone a few times. The second I take my phone out, she bashed the table, tossed the chair, left a $100 bill on the table and walked out even before the food even came. I was so humiliated and other people asked if I was okay. She apologized after, but that is just one of many instances of this kind of behavior. I am not a perfect human by any means but when I tell you not ONCE did I ever raise my voice at her in the entire relationship... I have a very big fear of confrontation so the way she responded to things caused me to develop panic disorder and symptoms of schizophrenia. I was hospitalized 42 times in one year usually with a BPM over 150 and was admitted to a psych ward. Keep in mind, before I met her I had no prior mental health history. I had a stable job, a healthy body and was never on mental health medications. My only prior relationship of 5 years was also stable and loving but my partner moved across the country so we chose to end things.
The underlying issue was that Sarah was on a cocktail of medications, Antidepressants, anxiety medication, ADHD medication and another drug for mental health which I can't recall. Because of her ADHD, she would sometimes forget to pick up her medications. At the same time, she was experimenting with different medications and dosages (under doctor supervision). This meant she was always on a different combination of psychiatric medications throughout out relationship. Her mood was really unpredictable and I never knew when she would snap. For example, we had just went to ikea that day and everything was great. We had a fun time installing curtains in her new apartment. I would sometimes suffer from really bad brain fog from the antibiotics and panic attack meds I was always on. Well apparently I didn't realize I made a face after she asked me to pass her something, which caused her to yell "Stop making that stupid fucking face I cant stand it". Then she proceeded to mock me...
She would also go through my phone behind my back, accusing me of cheating when I would never do such a thing and there was nothing to even possibly HINT at the thought. She said she did this because her "exes all cheated". Even though she would always go to gay bars alone wearing nothing but lingerie. And I never bothered her once about it. I didn't want to interfere with her freedom of expression. She was finding her new identity (transitioning from male to female)
After 4 long years she broke up with me in public after I coincidentally bumped into her at a bar when our mutual friend and I went out for drinks. Sarah was talking to other girls but I was just so happy to see her and ran to give her a hug. But she seemed upset that I had ruined her day. She went on a rant for 20 minutes about how she can't stand me always being sick and said she fell out of love with me a few months back but didn't want to tell me. She told me soulmates don't exist (I never said they did), how I am "not special" (never said I was) and she could "find someone tonight if she wanted to".
The panic attack I had from her yelling at me so much in public was so bad that I started puking blood. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital and after she never checked up on me. Instead I woke up in the hospital the next day to see that she started following hundreds of plus sized porn stars and sharing their posts. After causing me to drop to 91 lbs at 5'8".
After that I blocked her on all social medias. I had also blocked her number. One day about 6 months after the breakup I received a voicemail from her from another number. She said it was an emergency and was crying so I called her back. She told me how her hamster died because she forgot to feed her and was crying and blaming her ADHD saying she basically forgot the hamster existed. This turned into a long conversation about her apologizing, her feeling lonely because no one wants to date her. She moved across the country and I made it very clear, I had not even the slightest interest in getting back with her.
She said she cared about me as a friend and missed the friendship we had. I agreed to remain friends but only unblocked her on Instagram. She then started sharing with me intimate details of her sex life with strangers and other people she would meet at bars. It seemed like every conversation would turn into her sending me memes about sucking off trans girls and trans penises. Then she would tell me how she was good at sucking dick and would only top people. Then it progressed into telling me how trans girls anuses felt better than vaginas and that was really the last straw for me. I had told her numerous times this made me uncomfortable. She said she was just sharing information that she shares with all her female friends and made me seem unreasonable for not wanting to discuss her sex life. Especially when she knew I was dealing with a death in the family at the same time. And I'm not just a female friend, I pictured myself at one point spending my life with her. Why do I want to picture her sucking dick and what her partner's penises look like?
I make it clear that she has a very bad issue with respecting boundaries and I block her instagram. About 3 weeks later, she makes a new account with the same picture and almost the same name. She likes my posts and all my stories. I go to the page to check the account because I was confused as I thought I blocked her already. As soon as she liked my posts with this alt account, she uploads photos of her making out with other people and talks about how good dick is. Was this behavior intentional or am I just looking too hard into things? I just can't understand what I did to deserve any of this...

Hello!
LONG POST! Image heavy (and shitty loading times). 5 Pages! Apologies for the length, trying to pre-empt your questions and show fixed scope.

Request:

One person with excellent, higher-order programming skills in Godot GDScript who could pair with my graphics and programming abilities for a highly popular 1990's game title, top down racer remake.

Game Synopsis:

Single player, Super Cars Clone but more realistic + crazy + more detailed and prettier graphics. With 1990’s styling and Roguelite-ish collect & combat precepts throughout.
Image set

Citing the Original Game:

Proof of Concept, Playable Game:

You can download and play it here. Do note: Road elevation changes marked by Red and Green rectangles on track, in case you’re confused about varying accelerations. AI is hypershit.
Playable Game Link
Some of the old video’s on there show the lo-res flippers, water cannons, pits, pins, rough roads, trains, etc, in working order.

Synopsis of Theme:

You are an up and coming racecar driver. It is the 1990's when flamboyant super cars, daring films(James Bond esq) and thrilling car races are all the buzz. Catching this excitement, a movie studio has noticed your driving talent. During a racing season, you'll be given access to 'unique' races at movie locations. Ie: "Blues Brothers Mall scene", or driving through a mine site with giant excavators and blasting of rock walls for that all important movie-shot. Or, many other weird and unusual prop-heavy locations, like a slime factory, or an industrial petrochemical plant complete with fiery explosions and other such spectacular events. To achieve access to these, you need to prove your worth on the daily race track. Many are non-ordinary tracks. They'll have things like giant water canons to push you around, wobbling roads, uneven rocky tracks, dips, jumps, giant pinball flippers, oil firing canons, trains and other devices all while in furious and intense competition with other NPC drivers.
Be forewarned, the video’s below show a distinct lack of polish. Ie: skidding-black level on packed dirt, no inertia correction in skid, no proper power to gear ratio etc, etc.

Overview of Game ‘Chunks’:

Some Cars
Ok. in absolute brief: You start at ‘D’ category, have access to those cars and parts at that level. Above, cars on the left are ‘D’, then the next two are ‘C’, then next two are ‘B’, ‘A’, and the last two are ‘Ultra Class’ category. Each Category is an entire season of 10 tracks each. Including special event tracks.
On the roads, there are props, you plough into them for rewards, and special things called ‘chits’. Props are fences, oil drums, wood piles and anything that looks like it needs a good smashing.
Ultimately, Chits are used in a mini game (like Wheel of Fortune), to earn higher grade parts, cash prizes and even a better car than your current season’s level cap.
There’s a parts shop, a car shop, a Tv studio(for the WoF bit) and your assembly garage.
When you complete a season, if you make it into the top 3 racers at the end, you can upgrade to the next season D -> C. That means better and faster cars, higher grade engine parts, more challenging drivers, more tracks and bigger prizes on the Wheel of Fortune spin mini game. And you keep going until you reach Ultra class, where you’re driving monstrous hypercars against the best to win the entire full season.
It is meant to be a difficult game, just like the original. Practice makes Perfect.

Market Expectations:

Do note: Top down racers are NOT big money earners, so don't expect a huge audience. We would probably be lucky to fit just Below 'Make Way' at position 15.

What Happened and why am I doing this:

Me: Senior IT Manager. (BMech Eng.). + Hobby Artist (Pretty OK & particularly fast) + VB6 Coder (Strong skills). Was working on a BIG VB6 program for enjoyment. (https://nelfid.com/)
(https://www.reddit.com/roguelikedev/comments/1aeaoo8/2024_in_roguelikedev_monstergirl_resonance_call/ )
Had to stop. Looked at Godot for continuation, seriously impressed, started learning it, WOW. Decided to build a racer for shits and giggles and to learn from it. Ok, fun, easy, cool, and then decided to upgrade it with pretty graphics and decent gameplay. Game testers went nuts, I went nuts. Too much fun.
But, I’m long suffering from a sleep disorder. So re-re-re-learning Godot between medical hiatuses isn’t fun. However I can churn out art and Godot prop code no matter my condition.
I’m still a beginner at Godot, an advanced coder in VB6, I can prototype well. HOWEVER, I’m better at smashing out tracks worth of art, cars portraits, cars sprites, car cutaways and Godot track and props setup.
What I am NOT good at is the higher order setup of minimising repeat code and proper setout of node hierarchies (I haven’t learned it yet). I’m tired of bashing my head against, all the old vector math, engine math, gearing data and power curves. (I graduated that stuff at University too many years ago.)
I’m looking for someone who likes THAT, car-frictiony-enginey-handling-math. Someone who likes building car-part-shop-garage-drag-drop-thingy-interfaces. Someone who enjoys a good thrash and smash car game with a penchant for comedy and silliness. Someone who’ll also help with all the OTHER things needed to put a game on Steam and random marketing functions. Someone who knows how to handle multi-packed scenes and not build shit code.
As needed, I’ll be covering ALL the art, all the interface art, you-name-it, you just make it work. I’ll also be building and drawing all the tracks. Ideas and creation for silliness, wackiness, interesting tracks, cool props, etc, will be a duo effort for building them. If you have art skills too, great, join in.
Do note: I’m aiming at hand-drawing 50 tracks in grand total, their props and variants. This is an astronomical amount of work. I WILL get burnout, and the contingency is to ask the audience for fun and silly ideas too. This way, the track-select-bucket can be filled over time. Even after Steam’s Early Access commences. Seriously, you’ve got to go above and beyond to stand out nowadays.
Have SQLite skills? Good, because we will be using it.

Build Time:

Speculatively guessing for build time. Minimum time 3 months. Maximum time 6 months to complete.

Goal Post 1:

Schedule I'd like to do: Prep the game with a first stage demo. As per above, but with say 3 tracks, and 3 different user cars and proper NPC AI. Chuck that on Steam as a first port of call. This shouldn't take long as the shop/parts/Tv studio are not relevant here. Just racing and a simplistic track select menu. Car types can be basic hard coded engines and handling here (ie: no part swapping yet).

Goal Post 2:

Second stage demo: and with it, Early Access. Entire Season 1 Tracks ready. All stuff is here, shops, parts, Tv studio. Category 'D' racing is fully open here. The user can run through the whole 1'st stage, 10 tracks (with celebrity tracks included). However, more difficult grades C, B, A and Ultra cars, parts and other tracks are not available. This is so the users can get a 100% feeling for the game, and if they want to go to the next level (more difficult, more tracks, more parts, more cars, more excitement) they'll have the incentive to purchase the full game. Early access means we'll start dumping down new tracks and celebrity tracks as they get made so EA's can get them in the random bucket as we go along.

Goal Post 3:

Real Launch: Everything done, but tracks might not be fully complete yet (at least 50% done). Track selection is done from a diminishing pool randomly selected per each season. If short, it will select from the bucket again. At this stage the entire game should be coded in full, with the exception of new props for upcoming tracks. Which you'll be helping out with.

Marketing:

Marketing is informal at the moment, and happy to share ideas and discuss approaches accordingly. Currently I've been collecting relevant forum/group websites for those who love or may love this stuff.

Sound:

Music and sound effects assets will be from sites like Zapsplat and other affiliate style sites. (So we'll need to program in a car CD Player or Tape Deck, lol) If worthwhile to translate for other languages, we can do that as it's not a text heavy game.

Revshare:

Rev share will be pinned at 50/50 unless there is some other extenuating circumstances. Official company setup and final legals will occur immediately prior to Early Access -> pending interest level by users.
You won't be 'just' coding. Wherever we can both cover each other's backs to smash things out as fast as possible, you'll need to be flexible. Game's are not just coding and artwork.
I expect you to be proactive because I’ll have my hands full with art and technical props.
Let’s do our best to get it over the line.

Response:

I won’t be responding to Discord currently. My account seems to have been inactive-erased, I haven't ‘dug’ in my records for it, that’s a ‘later’ thing. DO NOT DM me, myself and others want to see and verify who you are first, exclusively write below.

Timezone:

East-coast Australia timezone, happy for any talent, anywhere. English language only.

About you:

If you are interested and have some seriously strong Godot skills, please introduce yourself, what you've done, programming background, any training or other videos you've made (please link them). Can you program caengine physics and road AI exceptionally well already? How do you avoid spaghetti code? How long have you been tackling Godot? Do you know shaders? What are your daily hours/location? What can you do for your 50/50 rev-share of this project?

^{Lastly, if you’re good and we work well together, I’m happy to discuss any future projects that require similar arrangements. There is a mountain of short-term, popular 90’s and similar games begging for modernisation and graphical updates.}

I got an oscilloscope kit the other day and the build has been going well so far, but I've discovered there is a 120pf capacitor missing (either lost or not in the bag). Could I replace it with a 100 or 150? I have those kicking about and I don't really want to mess about with the back and forth to the seller. Or does it need to be that value, figured I could test the 150's and find the one closest to 120. Would that have a big impact on the operation of it?
Any help would be appreciated.

TL;DR: In short, I am very disappointed, but I'm hoping the issues can be resolved via firmware updates, mainly: significant green/yellow tint and myopia adjustments miscalibrated.
I ordered the Viture Pro on the 23rd May, it shipped on the 28th May, and finally got delivered on the 9th June. I'm in Australia.
Packaging
The unboxing experience has been stellar, the packaging is one level above Xreal's.
Case
I do like Xreal's case not needing a zipper, but the utility of Viture's case is better, with lining for both the glasses and the cable, whereas Xreal's is simply a plain case without any inserts.
Build Quality
I would say on par, both are very well built.
Styling
This is highly subjective. I've seen many many reviews on both. For someone with a small head, I thought the Viture would look better on me... hmmm... not quite, I think I still prefer the Xreal. Having said that it's not a big deal for me, I'd be mostly wearing them at home, and perhaps on flights.
Wearing Comfort
This one goes to the Xreal, by a large margin. Xreal's leg ends are soft, bendable and very thin, making putting on and off the glasses a breeze. The Viture on the other hand, has hard leg ends, which requires more force to bend the whole legs outwards when putting on and off.
When the glasses are on my face, I can feel the plastic legs clamping on me with the Viture, whereas with the Xreal I almost don't feel anything.
Screen Brightness
Xreal Air 2 Pro technically has lower nits (500 vs 1000 perceived), but in reality I couldn't tell much of a difference. Viture Pro might appear ever so slightly brighter. Although, interestingly, the Viture Pro's lowest brightness is lower than Xreal's (although with significant contrast drop).
Also, Viture Pro has OSD to display brightness and audio levels when you adjust them, Xreal doesn't.
Sound Quality
Disappointingly, to my ear, the Xreal Air 2 Pro sounds better, it is slightly louder, and has significantly better clarity.
Image Quality
This might be the most disappointing part, and I'm really hoping a new firmware will address this. As is, on the latest 0603 firmware, the Viture Pro has a significant green/yellow tint - like, not a little bit, but very very significant. This makes movie watching (my primary use case) a no-go.
Electrochromic Screens
Very similar between the two. Xreal has three levels, Viture Pro has two, but realistically only the 0% and 100% are useful anyway. One small thing I noticed is that when you push the button, Xreal changes the level immediately, Viture Pro has half a second delay, no biggy.
Screen Edge Clarity
I used to own a pair of Xrea Air (the 1st gen), and from memory, I think that one has the best screen edge clarity.
The Xreal Air 2 Pro notoriously has blurry edges, which I can confirm. After swapping to using the smallest nose pads, I was able to make the edges clear enough, but it still has a slight colour shift.
The Viture Pro is better, however the edges I would say still have a little bit of colour shift. Although, can't say it effects my use case at all. I've tried to look at text, and they are fine.
Myopia Adjustments
This is one of the main reasons I bought the Viture Pro despite already owning the Xreal. As I'm a contact lens wearer, I'd like to use the glasses in bed without using contacts.
Obviously the Xreal doesn't have this functionality. However, this is another major disappointment that I'm hoping a firmware could fix. When the myopia dials are set to 0, the screen is actually blurry!! I thought it was my eyes at first, but nope, I had to dial them both up slightly in order for the screen clarity to equal that of Xreal's.
Verdict
As you can probably tell, I am very disappointed. As is, the Viture Pro is unusable with the significant green tint. And the usability is impacted by the miscalibrated myopia adjustments.
I'm hoping both of these issues will be fixed soon via firmware updates.
P.S. Tested both glasses on both macOS (Macbook Pro) and Samsung Dex (S24 Ultra).
