2024.06.10 01:02 GerardoDeLaRiva AEW Nations Trios Tournament

PRELUDE
A few Dynamites before All In – London, The EVPs of AEW, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson have an announcement. Inspired by the 2024 Paris Olympic games, where athletes from across the globe represent their nations, the EVPs want to hold a tournament for trios wrestling, but with teams representing their nations, not their personal allegiances or business.
The championship will be a tournament of trios matches, where team members will share the same nationality; originally or by heritage. All the matches will be scheduled to one fall, except the finals, that will be an elimination trios match.
Immediately after revealing the tournament, The Elite (Young Bucks & Jack Perry) name themselves the representatives of Team USA! Just to be interrupted by the BCC, disagreeing with that. Yuta, Mox and Danielson want a piece of that, so they’ll face next Collision to represent Team USA.
Meanwhile, other wrestlers come together preparing their teams to represent their nations in the Trios tournament, that’ll start after All Out. Some join together fast, others have matches to determine who’s joining the team. Tournament finals will be held at Wrestledream.
PREVIOUS ROUNDS
TEAM ENGLAND: Kip Sabian defeats Anthony Ogogo to join Team England (PAC, Kip Sabian & Will Ospreay)
TEAM EUROPE: Miro defeats Nick Comoroto (Miro, Claudio Castagnoli & Malakai Black).
TEAM JAPAN: Konosuke Takeshita defeats Minoru Suzuki (NJPW loan) (Takeshita, Okada & Shibata).
TEAM AUSTRALIA: Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis & Buddy Matthews.
TEAM PUERTO RICO: Ortiz, Serpentico & Eddie Kingston.
TEAM MEXICO: Rey Fenix, Penta el Zero M & Komander defeat Rush, Dralístico & Beast Mortos to represent Team Mexico.
However, Rush convinces Penta that he’s a best wrestler than Komander, and what really matters is to have the best team possible to represent Mexico, so he gives him a chance to prove himself in a one on one against Komander.
Rush defeats Komander to join Team Mexico (Rey Fenix, Penta el Zero M & Rush).
TEAM CANADA: Christian recruits Angelo Parker and Matt Menard not because he believes in them or loves Canada, but because he wants to win everything because he’s the best. However, they lose a trios match against Top Flight w/Andretti. He beats them down, but comes Adam Copeland for the rescue! They join them to represent Team Canada. They now win a preparation match against Premier Athletes.
But Christian has an ace under the sleeve: he wants to recruit Adam Copeland! Put their differences aside and tag again… with a third member. Someone that’s back into action. KENNY OMEGA!Angelo Parker and Matt Menard aren’t happy about this, so they protest. They also have someone under their sleeve, an old friend: Chris Jericho!
Adam Copeland, Christian & Kenny Omega defeat Angelo Parker, Matt Menard and Chris Jericho to represent TEAM CANADA!
TEAM USA: BCC (Moxley, Yuta & Danielson) defeats The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson & Jack Perry).
However, the Unified Trios champions have something to say about this trios tournament. Yeah, Jay White might be a kiwi (and proud), but the other three members of the Bang Bang Gang also want to represent the USA, and have the right to do that. BCC accepts the challenge.
Jay White defeats Bryan Danielson in a match to heat the feud up.
BBG (Juice Robinson, Colten Gunn & Austin Gun) defeat the BCC (Moxley, Yuta & Danielson) with a Jay White interference.
The Bang Bang Gang will represent TEAM USA!
THE TOURNAMENT
AMERICAS' BRACKET
Team Mexico defeats Team USA with Penta pinning Colten Gunn. Jay White was banned from ringside.
Team Canada defeats Team Puerto Rico with Christian pinning Serpentico (he blind tagged himself in when Kenny already hit the One Winged Angel on Serpentico).
Team Mexico defeats Team Canada in a shocker! Rush rolls over Christian when he was arguing with his team mates. There’s been bad blood between then through all the tournament and that costs them the elimination.
WORLD’S BRACKET
Team Japan defeats Team Australia: Takeshita pins Mark Davis.
Team England defeats Team Europe: Will Ospreay pins Claudio Castagnoli after a Hidden Blade.
Team Japan defeats Team England after Don Callis betrays Will Ospreay to push Takeshita to the Finals! Takeshita pins Kip Sabian while Ospreay is knocked down after Don Callis hit him with a screwdriver.
THE BRONZE MEDAL MATCH at WRESTLEDREAM
The bronze medal goes to Team England when Ospreay hits the Hidden Blade on Omega and pins him.
NATIONS' TRIOS CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS at WRESTLEDREAM
Teams walk down the ramps waving the flag of their countries and with their anthems on the music. The match starts!
Penta pins Katsuyori Shibata 15 minutes into the match.
Takeshita pins Rey Fenix 19 minutes into the match.
Okada pins Penta el Zero M 22 minutes into the match.
Rush pins Takeshita 28 minutes into the match.
Okada suffers an injury in ringside and the match is about to be stopped, but he fights his way into the ring to continue. Despite his injury he pulls an impressive effort, just like Rush wrestling a 1v2 for almost 20 minutes! Rush seems done for, but a masked man attacks Okada. It's MJF! He remembers his feud with Rush where the mexican earned his respect, and MJF is now feuding with Okada! Rush takes advantage of the situation and scores the win!
Rush pins Okada in a 35 minutes epic elimination match!
MEXICO WINS THE GOLD MEDAL!

2024.06.10 00:46 Ninja_Taco_Cat Confusion with villager trades

Im using the summon villager generator however i am struggling with importing nbt from items the item in question is
spider_eye [custom_name='["",{"text":"Unrefined","italic":false,"color":"dark_gray"},{"text":" ","italic":false},{"text":"Cel","italic":false,"color":"light_purple"},{"text":"est","italic":false,"color":"aqua"},{"text":"ial","italic":false,"color":"gold"},{"text":" ","italic":false},{"text":"Essence","italic":false,"color":"yellow"}]', lore=['["",{"text":"[","italic":false,"color":"gray"},{"text":"x1","italic":false,"color":"white"},{"text":"]","italic":false,"color":"gray"}]','["",{"text":"{","italic":false,"color":"gray"},{"text":"☽","italic":false,"color":"dark_purple"},{"text":" ","italic":false,"color":"light_purple"},{"text":"★","italic":false,"color":"aqua"},{"text":" ","italic":false,"color":"light_purple"},{"text":"☀","italic":false,"color":"gold"},{"text":"}","italic":false,"color":"gray"}]','["",{"text":"{","italic":false,"color":"gray"},{"text":"God Item","italic":false,"color":"yellow"},{"text":"}","italic":false,"color":"gray"}]','[""]','["",{"text":"Not very tasty","italic":false,"color":"red"}]'], custom_model_data=121,minecraft:custom_data={essence:1b}] 
however when i put in the nbt [custom_name..custom_data] part of that it thinks the item name in the generator is #spider_eye [custom_name='["",# and it saves the rest of the nbt or from what i can tell the rest of it excluding the ] bracket at the very end
Edit: i need to be able to put the whole nbt in this too because it will be trading custom items back to the player aswell and other instances of that item will be given to players other ways so i need the whole nbt to be the same so the item stacks
TLDR: i need to be able to put the custom item into the villager trade for a project im working on but it just doesnt let me copy paste the nbt how do i get my nbt data into the generator correctly

Recommendations for indoor antenna?
I recently just got the Onn Antenna that says it has a 50 mile range. However, when I was trying to watch the NBA finals I can’t pickup channel 12.1 from KSAT. Tried moving the antenna all over the house and pointed it 141°. Each time I moved it I rescanned.
Any thoughts and help is appreciated!

2024.06.10 00:24 The_Teacat So, here's the deal. (Updates, 6/9/2024.)

Going forward: * Stories involving Solar Girl, the Solarian, and Moonshine will only be canonical if they're published under the Pick-n-Μix Comix label. Same goes for almost everything else, but I've had a special thorn in my side dealing with all the pre-Pick-n-Mix stuff and what I want to do with it in regards to what is or isn't part of the overall canon and continuity, so it's important to point this part out first now that I've figured it out. * The content once belonging to the story-cycles of Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl is now going to be under the Lethericon Books label, which means they're non-canonical to everything in the current stable. * Everything under Lethericon Books is going to be a different format than the Pick-n-Mix Comix stuff. I wrote a lot of different, sometimes slower-paced and less adventurous stuff before I started finalizing the format I wanted for the main continuity and they've been in a really weird limbo of canon, but now they're under this label because that's what it's for. This'll be slower-paced, literary, chapter-by-chapter, less-focused, often very introspective, experimental storylines and extra stuff that are related to the main canon but are not themselves canonical; so, AUs like the Comix universe (a coming-of-age story I've been working on now and then where Grace and Gallo are in high school together — obviously completely incompatible with current canon, for a number of reasons), older stories like Supergirls In The Spotlight that don't fit current formatting standards for what is now the canonical works of Pick-n-Mix (and, at least in that one's case, is reprinted from much older work anyway, so nothing new in regards to new content there), and literary or prose outings (like copies of Certain Kinds Of Sadness and The Lethericon). * (For reference, those last two are just older, introspective art pieces I worked on a long time ago and have no real other place to go — I might put them up for pay at some point, but I just don't know. In any case, Certain Kinds is a bunch of super pretentious "poetry" a different version of me I knew once wrote a long time ago, while The Lethericon is the basis for the imprint's name — a dictionary and glossary of neologisms and new words I made up, and occasionally still contribute to sometimes, and their associated definitions and intended usages. So, just fun, meaningless artsy pieces; nothing related to the Pick-n-Mix adventures, but at a more ruminatory period in my life, it felt worthwhile to explore those things.)
Some additional notes: * I know who Moonshine is now! This has been another thorn in the development of workable Solar Girl stories since the very first iteration of Supergirls In The Spotlight, because I wanted Moonshine to be Solar Girl's best friend and sidekick but the dynamic and civilian identities I made for her never caught on and it kept changing with every new draft of the storyline, so often that I never had one single, consistent origin and identity for her. But, I've been developing stories for the Pick-n-Mix core for Solarian/Solar Girl continuity — an ongoing called Solarian Comix, which I'll talk about momentarily, or in its own post — and things have aligned so that the new, 100% canonical version is more or less set in stone now. * As expected, this was one of the reasons I decided to pull prior storyline outings out of canon entirely and render Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl non-canon. The version of Moonshine in those stories was Caitlin Deckard, a friend of Sarah Gardner's from school, the daughter of a previous generation's superheroes (who are nonexistent in the current Pick-n-Mix canon), and she's a very difficult, emotionally-troubled character — but I've since incorporated a version of Moonshine into the Pick-n-Mix version of Inglenook's history as a major operator during the canonical 'Lonum Wars, after which she moves to Spotlight City and eventually teams up with Solar Girl — meaning, of course, that not only are Inglenook and Spotlight City connected, but that Moonshine has to be much older than Solar Girl by default now and that I have a fairly solid timeline to connect events in Spotlight City too, referencing back to crossover events where their world connects to Inglenook and the Other Realms. * This was the final deciding factor in decanonizing the previous Solar Girl stuff. Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl are set on Earth, which doesn't exist in the Other Realms. I'm very adamant about this; which meant, of course, that any canonical crossovers between Inglenook stories and those Solar Girl stories are functionally impossible. I tried to do a storyline in New Adventures to fix this — the whole series was meant to connect Supergirls into current continuity, actually — but it just didn't work because of the fundamental origins of the setting. So, they had to go.
So, current canon: * Everything under the Pick-n-Mix label is canon. Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl are not. One version is set in the fictional Spotlight City on Earth in 2012 and 2024; the canonical version (that is, the version that slots in with everything else I'm building in the unified Pick-n-Mix universe, which mostly serves to adapt and standardize all this stuff into one overarching canon specifically for this reason and purpose) is a completely isolated, standalone city. * This version of Spotlight City is floating through space, kind of like the space colony of Terra Venture in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy or the colony of Solaris in Jason X (which we never see the surface of, but we might remember its iconic destruction when Jason causes the archaeological ship Grendel to crash into it and destroy the whole thing). I first tried to do this concept with the new storylines in The New Adventures, where the 2012 version of Spotlight City had been shunted into space by Status Quo during the break in between series (and would've ended up crashing into the Other Realms at some point after Meanwhile's reset of the universe, while the new, rebooted, Earth-based version kept on ticking, ideally), but again, that stuff is non-canon now. * I don't know why the Pick-n-Mix version is in space yet, but it will be plot relevant and it will be explored, either in Solarian Comix or a different title meant to explore it. Every Other Realm has its own gimmick, though, so they all have funky origins and they're all tied together; New Galatée from a serial I'm working on called Milk was created when folks from the Inglish nation of Galatée decided to live without association to the Kingdom and left for a brand new realm, for instance. * This means fun stuff like Spotlight City gets brand new historical stuff and its own worldbuilding now! And there can be one solid timeline, one central set of origin stories that are absolutely canon (since that also changed for each draft of the story I've been working on, especially for Solar Girl and Moonshine), and lots of crossovers between realms without being too confusing or introducing multiversal counterparts or anything. (EG, the Solarian can now appear in Inglenook sometimes, and Dr Connector and Captain Mytho can show up in Spotlight City, and it'll all be pretty much continuous and canonical, no worries, easy as. Simple.)
Final notes about the Pick-n-Mix stuff: * Moonshine is Sarah's friend, still, but she's older. They're not in the same age bracket anymore, but kind of split the difference and cover both brackets previous versions have straddled. Here, Sarah (who is still Solar Girl, although not the first Solar Girl) is a high schooler attending New Dawn High School; Moonshine is Margaret Deckard, who works as a janitor at New Dawn and is in her late 30s, meaning Solarian Comix is set sometime in the late 80s, at the very least. (Note: this is the Inglenook version of the 80s, not ours. Timelines across the Other Realms are usually in sync, unless I need them not to be, and there are some aesthetic similarities, but Inglenook and the Other Realms are still fantasy worlds, so it's a brand new 80s and not ours.) Margaret and Sarah are kind of the weirdos at the school, obviously, and Sarah likes Margaret's vibe so she ended up befriending her and they have a weird friendship. At the start of their timeline, Margaret is not Moonshine — but, she was. * Before coming to Spotlight City, Margaret lived and grew up in the Kingdom of Inglenook. Urban fantasy, magic, superheroes, all that fun stuff. From 1968 to 1972, Inglenook got involved in the realm of Carillon, a parallel world home to the corvics (crow-people) and a store of scale oil that was useful to the Silvani people. Inglenook established the colony Oiltown there under Queen Charlotte's purview, but eventually it was discovered that the oil they were drilling had been infected by a nearly-indestructible black goo called the Black Regard, forcing Inglenook's hand. Things erupted, and the 'Lonum Wars started — lots of heroes and members of the Royal Protectorate participated, either by choice or by draft. Jack Scorcher of the Legendeers (although not at that time) was one of them; Margaret Deckard, operating under the name Moonshine, was another. * During this time frame, Moonshine was partners with Nightwalk, a shadow caster who died during the war, leaving Margaret deeply traumatized, along with everything else that happened. Once the war was over, she sought to retire from operations as a masked persona, especially given what she was involved in while she was in Carillon, and so eventually moved to Spotlight City to put everything behind her. * No one knew her in Spotlight City, so she's just Margaret Deckard now. But, in the first few origin stories as depicted in Solarian Comix, her friendship with Sarah Gardner puts this retirement at risk — Sarah becomes the new Sunbearer, Solar Girl, and accidentally creates her foil and initial arch-nemesis, Socialighter, from a rival girl at school. Their fight drags Margaret into things, and Sarah eventually discovers her friend's secret history while cleaning up Margaret's attic. Finally, they're able to be spun off into the title Solar Girl & Moonshine, obviously set in the same continuity — I'm still working out the focal details and central storyline gimmicks for it, but it should be focused heavily on this stuff, and on exploring Moonshine's history in Inglenook especially — and things continue and carry on from there. * (This "found in the attic" storyline was brought in from one of the many possible origins for Solar Girl, incidentally; where the idea was, she'd find a box including the solar crystals, the suit, and the pixie Flare in her mother's apartment, discover her mother either was supposed to be Solar Girl, and take up the identity herself. But, now it's transplanted onto Moonshine because of Sarah's current canonical origin, and Margaret is the one who takes up her old identity. Only at Sarah's urging, and in a moment of desperation against a new enemy threatening the city, though. Of course.)
What is Solarian Comix? And what other titles are being worked on? * Solarian Comix is one of the many ongoing titles I'm developing for Pick-n-Mix Comix, a line of serials adapting all my content and intellectual property into one solid canon, for easy digestion and continuity purposes. They're all in the format of issue-by-issue comic titles — sometimes miniseries, sometimes ongoings, sometimes graphic novels, etc. This one is all about Spotlight City, one of the Other Realms floating through space, protected by an artificial sun that gives the Sunbearers their power. The previous Sunbearer was the Solarian; the current one is Solar Girl. Solarian Comix is something of an anthology that jumps throughout the city's timeline, telling stories in recurring features about the Solarian, Solar Girl, and other characters and heroes throughout the city's history, since there's so much content to cover. Regular features include The Sensational Solar Girl, focusing on Solar Girl's rise to power; Silver-Age Solarian, focusing on the Solarian in Spotlight City's "Silver Age" (likely lasting from the 40s to the late 70s or so); and a bunch of other headliners, such as features centered around the realm-hopping witch Hexcellence, the living glitch Glitchboard, the light-manipulating Emerald Flash and Mock Mirage, and so on. * Related titles currently include Solar Girl & Moonshine, Solar Girl: Meanwhile, and Glitchboard: Tales From The Geistmaschine, which are standalone and aren't published in the chapters and pages of Solarian Comix, but do spin off from them.
Other titles being worked on for Pick-n-Mix include: * Dr Connector, a solo-based ongoing title about my science hero, Dr Connector. The first arc is in progress, titled "Dr Connector Meets The Freedom Beyond", and centers around Dr Connector and the Legendeers discovering the Other Realm known as the Freelands. * Solemn Graces, an adaptation of my pre-Pick-n-Mix novella series of the same name, featuring the detective and witch Grace Morgan discovering the town of Grimstead, which here is called Grimshaw (for plot-relevant reasons), and deciding to get pulled into events there for a while. Each issue is a multi-chapter story, with the first issue in progress, depicting Grace's first several days in Grimshaw — her discovery of the place, her fight with the Spring-Heeled Ripper, her meeting with Gallo Belgrave, and more. It comes as it comes, so it'll be finished at some point, and there are obviously a hundred more and then some storylines planned for future issues, so it'll keep me writing for quite a while. * Help! The Monsters Are Lost Here Too. The period is part of the title, yes. This one's a dungeon-crawler isekai-style story about the new character of Jaden Crofter, who becomes trapped in the Bridgery, a liminal and parallel dungeon world, and discovers that — not only is it filled with weird, strange monsters beyond the imagination — but that it's also trapping the monsters there just like him. So, pretty simple. He teams up with a knight from another world called Sydney Storm, and they get the heck out of there. Not much of it is written currently, but there are some worldbuilding notes and potential excerpts available if you like getting an eye into the behind-the-scenes writing and development process for serials like this. * Idyllville Mysteries, which is largely being reworked into Idyllville Mystery Theater, was an early attempt at an ongoing. This one was an anthology that told short vignettes about the city of Idyllville in Inglenook, and was originally exclusive to redditserials here on Reddit (posted using a corporate account I might continue using for Pick-n-Mix stuff, but maybe not). It's still archived on AO3, but because it doesn't fit current formatting standards, it's being heavily retooled and the original ongoing is basically cancelled. Some useful bits of plot details in those tales, though, and writing it helped me work through some stuff at the time while I was writing it, so I wouldn't be here if I hadn't been there. Thought it was worth mentioning, at least.
Those are the ones that have content available already, but as you can tell — there's so much more going on for the Pick-n-Mix universe, and so much more to come.

Their fight drags Margaret into things, and Sarah eventually discovers her friend's secret history while cleaning up Margaret's attic. Finally, they're able to be spun off into the title Solar Girl & Moonshine, obviously set in the same continuity — I'm still working out the focal details and central storyline gimmicks for it, but it should be focused heavily on this stuff, and on exploring Moonshine's history in Inglenook especially — and things continue and carry on from there. * (This "found in the attic" storyline was brought in from one of the many possible origins for Solar Girl, incidentally; where the idea was, she'd find a box including the solar crystals, the suit, and the pixie Flare in her mother's apartment, discover her mother either was supposed to be Solar Girl, and take up the identity herself. But, now it's transplanted onto Moonshine because of Sarah's current canonical origin, and Margaret is the one who takes up her old identity. Only at Sarah's urging, and in a moment of desperation against a new enemy threatening the city, though. Of course.)
What is Solarian Comix? And what other titles are being worked on? * Solarian Comix is one of the many ongoing titles I'm developing for Pick-n-Mix Comix, a line of serials adapting all my content and intellectual property into one solid canon, for easy digestion and continuity purposes. They're all in the format of issue-by-issue comic titles — sometimes miniseries, sometimes ongoings, sometimes graphic novels, etc. This one is all about Spotlight City, one of the Other Realms floating through space, protected by an artificial sun that gives the Sunbearers their power. The previous Sunbearer was the Solarian; the current one is Solar Girl. Solarian Comix is something of an anthology that jumps throughout the city's timeline, telling stories in recurring features about the Solarian, Solar Girl, and other characters and heroes throughout the city's history, since there's so much content to cover. Regular features include The Sensational Solar Girl, focusing on Solar Girl's rise to power; Silver-Age Solarian, focusing on the Solarian in Spotlight City's "Silver Age" (likely lasting from the 40s to the late 70s or so); and a bunch of other headliners, such as features centered around the realm-hopping witch Hexcellence, the living glitch Glitchboard, the light-manipulating Emerald Flash and Mock Mirage, and so on. * Related titles currently include Solar Girl & Moonshine, Solar Girl: Meanwhile, and Glitchboard: Tales From The Geistmaschine, which are standalone and aren't published in the chapters and pages of Solarian Comix, but do spin off from them.
Other titles being worked on for Pick-n-Mix include: * Dr Connector, a solo-based ongoing title about my science hero, Dr Connector. The first arc is in progress, titled "Dr Connector Meets The Freedom Beyond", and centers around Dr Connector and the Legendeers discovering the Other Realm known as the Freelands. * Solemn Graces, an adaptation of my pre-Pick-n-Mix novella series of the same name, featuring the detective and witch Grace Morgan discovering the town of Grimstead, which here is called Grimshaw (for plot-relevant reasons), and deciding to get pulled into events there for a while. Each issue is a multi-chapter story, with the first issue in progress, depicting Grace's first several days in Grimshaw — her discovery of the place, her fight with the Spring-Heeled Ripper, her meeting with Gallo Belgrave, and more. It comes as it comes, so it'll be finished at some point, and there are obviously a hundred more and then some storylines planned for future issues, so it'll keep me writing for quite a while. * Help! The Monsters Are Lost Here Too. The period is part of the title, yes. This one's a dungeon-crawler isekai-style story about the new character of Jaden Crofter, who becomes trapped in the Bridgery, a liminal and parallel dungeon world, and discovers that — not only is it filled with weird, strange monsters beyond the imagination — but that it's also trapping the monsters there just like him. So, pretty simple. He teams up with a knight from another world called Sydney Storm, and they get the heck out of there. Not much of it is written currently, but there are some worldbuilding notes and potential excerpts available if you like getting an eye into the behind-the-scenes writing and development process for serials like this. * Idyllville Mysteries, which is largely being reworked into Idyllville Mystery Theater, was an early attempt at an ongoing. This one was an anthology that told short vignettes about the city of Idyllville in Inglenook, and was originally exclusive to redditserials here on Reddit (posted using a corporate account I might continue using for Pick-n-Mix stuff, but maybe not). It's still archived on AO3, but because it doesn't fit current formatting standards, it's being heavily retooled and the original ongoing is basically cancelled. Some useful bits of plot details in those tales, though, and writing it helped me work through some stuff at the time while I was writing it, so I wouldn't be here if I hadn't been there. Thought it was worth mentioning, at least.
Those are the ones that have content available already, but as you can tell — there's so much more going on for the Pick-n-Mix universe, and so much more to come.

2024.06.10 00:16 ErwinHeisenberg PSA for anyone having trouble getting PSP DLC working through Adrenaline

So, this has been bothering me for a good few weeks now and I haven't found any good solutions for this either here or anywhere else on the internet, so I want to do my part to prevent others from experiencing this difficulty. If you're wondering, yes this works for Rock Band Unplugged. It is precisely because of that game that I figured this out. This should work for you if your Vita was jailbroken recently (I did mine in May of '24) and you use a Mac to transfer files to ux0:/ through VitaShell.
I found that to get Rock Band DLC to work, it must be installed using pkgj. I'm not entirely sure why, but maybe it has something to do with applying some modification to circumvent DRM that I can't trigger manually. Those more knowledgable than me can opine about that. To allow this to happen, you must add the following line to the end of the config.txt file found in the pkgj file in ux0:/ exactly as written below.
install_psp_as_pbp 1
Then, you'll want to open up pkgj and download the DLC that you want for your particular game(s). In my case, it was Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy and Rock Band Unplugged. Feel free to delete that line from config.txt afterward. When you open up the game, either through the Adrenaline UI or from a bubble generated by Adrenaline Bubble Manager, the game should recognize the DLC. You don't need to mess with any of the options in the Adrenaline recovery menu and you don't need to install any legacy plugins to your pspemu folder.
I will note that getting this to work with Rock Band will require a couple of extra steps, which differ depending on how you got the game on your Vita in the first place. If you downloaded the game from pkgj, you actually downloaded Rock Band Unplugged Lite, which has a different GameID than the standard version of the game. After you've gotten your DLC, open up VitaShell and navigate to ux0:/pspemu/PSP/GAME and locate the folder titled ULUS10418. You will need to change this folder's name to NPUH10015. This is case-sensitive. If you got the standard version of the game like I did, you need to change the name of the .iso file to ULUS10418.iso. Again, this is case-sensitive. If you want to know where to get said ROM, you can Google it because I'm not about to let what just happened to Vimm's Lair happen to another site due to my big mouth. Lastly, for some reason, the Rock Band DLC list is incomplete for the USA region on NPS/pkgj, but not for Europe. Feel free to download the DLC from the Europe list if you're using the US version, because the DLC is region-free. But, you will need to either move the contents of the ULES01243 folder in ux0:/pspemu/PSP/GAME to the ULUS01418 folder using VitaShell, or just change the name.

2024.06.09 23:58 DiamondVoid149404 The Alphaverse Part 2

Paradox, Viciate, and Lorenzo continued on their descent into the castle to the Well of Wisdom. A sacred place bestowed on the Alphaverse since its creation. A well that possess the most valuable wisdom from across the Megaverse. Paradox had his group stop in one of the chambers for he assumed his prisoners will be awaking from the poison soon. He then had his chains wrap around King Alexander, Venessa, Cross, Tray, Selena, Malissa, Lucrest, Leoped, and Phonix. Viciate deployed several drones that aimed their weapons at the chained prisoners with Paradox standing resolute holding the Matrix of Eternity in his hands. The prisoners eventually woke up one by one and were greeted by crude words and jeers directed towards them. The chains that bound them prevented them from utilizing their powers to break their bonds and even if they did, the bullets from the drones will prove extremely lethal to their weakened state. Paradox ordered the prisoners to be placed in a line on their knees as he snapped his fingers which summoned imps and more infernal warriors to act as guards. King Alexander, "You can't restore the Matrix in the Well of Wisdom, it will shred you to pieces." Paradox smugly, "Maybe, but that's why I'll have each of you go in for me and see who can withstand the Well." Malissa, "He's going to sacrifice us! Where is Joan? Did she escape?" Paradox, "Oh I believe Tray knows the answer to that." Everyone turned wondering where Tray could be until he finally spoke, the others were shock at his new appearance for he appeared otherworldly to them. Tray did not lift his eyes towards the group, but rather hung his head low. Paradox's eyes beamed with sadistic delight as he spoke, "I guess one can say your sister is now very OPEN MINDED!" It took a few seconds for this joke to register in the minds of the prisoners, but when it did, all of them violently shook the chains in order to be free. "Go ahead use all your powers to break those chains, it only transfers your power levels into my soul. Lockjaw was right, all of you are complete fools in underestimating these accursed chains!"
He grabbed Phonix as his victim but stopped when what seemed to be an earthquake began to shake the foundations of the castle. The earthquake only intensified the longer it went, Venessa, "Does anyone else hear bass boosted music?" In a spectacular explosion of dazzling lights and rifts across space and time, Diamond's glowing body appeared in a giant hole in one of the castle's walls while blaring Hit Me Baby One More Time. Everyone was left speechless when they saw Diamond, believing it to be a ghost. "PARADOX!!!!!" In terror Paradox began to back away, "Impossible, I scarred you for life! HOW ARE YOU EVEN STRONGER THAN BEFORE?!" "It is not for you to know the circumstances that brought me here before you today. Regardless I am back. AND THIS TIME THERE IS NO POWER IN THE MEGAVERSE OR THE NETHERWORLD THAT IS GOING TO STOP ME!" Paradox ordered Lorenzo, Viciate, and the rest of his minions to dispose of Diamond as he journeys deeper to the Well of Wisdom. Viciate used his powers to generate clones of his allies as he slowly approached Diamond. Observing this, Diamond began to smile, "How about I even those odds." After finishing his sentence, 20 identical clones of Diamond manifested themselves behind him. Unlike other clones or copies, these 20 were able to act independently as a collective hive mind. The original Diamond attacked Viciate head on while the duplicates attacked the other clones and others attempted to free the prisoners. Viciate attempted in drawing his sword to strike Diamond in an exposed position, but Diamond's intense senses was able to prevent Viciate from using his sword. In a matter of seconds, Diamond punched Viciate to a bloody mess before leaving him stuck on one of the walls.
His abilities alerted him of several imps closing on his position, and in a swift motion, Diamond created a new Sword of Light, which was far longer and sharper to simultaneously decapitate all of the imps that circled around him. While watching all of this unfold before her very eyes, Selena could not help but smile at seeing Diamond restored to his former self, "He's back." A clone of Diamond randomly appeared next to her, "Nice to know I'm no longer on house arrest." The clone was able to free Selena from her chains and started to free the rest of the prisoners. After freeing them, he gave the group a new set of orders, "I may not know all of you, but focus your abilities in taking down those devilish warriors over there. I'll handle Paradox." The clone soon vanished alongside the other copies leaving only the original Diamond left. Just when Diamond started to follow Paradox's trail, Lorenzo used his acidic whip to suspend Diamond in place. Lorenzo was successful in his attack and used this advantage to expel fatal toxins into Diamond's lungs. "Ugh. Dude, you got some serious oral hygiene problems. Here take a mint!" Lorenzo's mouth was open due to him being stunned seeing his foe unphased with his lethal toxin. The supposed mint landed on his tongue, which resulted in a strong electrical shock being sent all over his body causing him to black out. "Nice whip though, I'm for real going to take this for my collection." Diamond bent over and collected the whip before resuming on his mission to destroy Paradox. Paradox was nearly at the entrance of the Well, but felt his body frozen in place, no matter how hard he tried to move. He finally realized he was frozen by Diamond's soul manipulation, yet when he made this realization, Diamond was already floating horizontally whispering into Paradox's audio receptor, "I think I am going to show off my newfound abilities."
Paradox tried to slice Diamond with a chain along his back, but Diamond vanished before he could land a hit. He reappeared behind him and with a simple flick, Diamond sent Paradox crashing through the castle's walls and ceilings. Paradox regained his stance as he morphed into Astros as he stopped a punch from Diamond which sent shockwaves, shattering any neighboring glass. Paradox kicked Diamond at his shin before hitting him with brute force across his face. He summersaulted backwards a few yards as he morphed into the Ice King. He then summoned several frozen daggers and sharp projectiles as he sent them flying towards Diamond at light speed. Diamond noticed the projectiles flying towards him as he achieved speeds that made time around him slow down several seconds. It was if things were occurring to him at a quarter speed, so with a wave of his arm, he took control of the projectiles and had them float around him before resuming time and sending them back to Paradox. Paradox moaned loudly as the projectiles lodged themselves in tight crevasses of his body and interfering with some of the vital mechanisms. The two teleported away from the castle into the depths of the grand city where they continued their battle. Paradox changed into Shen the disgraced Shogun as he desperately tried to slice off Diamond's limbs and head. Diamond casually dodged each attack with ease he summoned the Sword of Light which has grown longer and sharper to reflect his reunion with the Light. The two blades collided with each other, but Paradox was no match for Diamond's swordsman skills.
Diamond noticed Paradox's right arm malfunctioning from one of the ice projectiles and taking advantage of this weakness, he punched Paradox repeatedly in the chest before kicking him to the floor. He then created a revolver from his nanites and fired four bullets consecutively into his weak spot. He knew his bullets succeeded in wounding his opponent, for the sound of loose air began to hiss from broken wires and Paradox's arm glitching by morphing into many different appearances before changing back to its default appearance. Diamond smiled smugly as he released that Paradox was truly terrified in that moment, "Where has your self-confidence gone? Are those appearances not making you comfortable in your mechanical body?" "SHUT UP!" Paradox then changed into Mecha-Diamond as he was able to grab Diamond by his throat and threw him into multiple buildings. The two eventually landed on top of a commuter train before Diamond could free himself. Diamond sliced his opponent's arm to free himself and used his thrusters to fly backwards as he observed Paradox's body shifting gears to re-forge the missing arm. While in the form of Mecha-Diamond, Paradox had four mechanical tentacles grow out of him, which resulted in Diamond activating his suit to grow tentacles of his own. The two opponents had their tentacles wrap around each other as they fired their blasters at each other. Diamond tried to create two clones of himself, but Paradox's tentacles grabbed him and tossed him into one of the train carts as the civilians screamed in terror. He gradually regained consciousness as he prepared to find Paradox, but for a long minute, he could not sense Paradox. It was not until a lady screamed of a large spider approaching them from the other end when Diamond released it is Paradox crawling on all fours with great speed. Paradox shifted back to full height in a most grotesque fashion as his body spun in different ways before his head shifted back to its normal size. Diamond yelled at the passengers to run to the other cart as he dealt with Paradox. While the passengers fled, two extra mechanical arms began to form on Paradox's appearance of Mecha-Diamond as all four of arms ignited red plasma blades. "Attack Diamond!" The four arms began to spin in opposite directions of his body in quick movements as he rapidly approached Diamond that it was impossible to strike him above or behind.
Confused on what his next move should be, Diamond noticed parts of Paradox's chest plate were loose as it was glitching in and out. Out of options, Diamond swung at Paradox which he swiftly blocked with the four blades, but Diamond was able to have his nanotech grow on Paradox's arms as he then had the nanites send an electric shock on the foreign host, which granted him an opening in tearing off the chest plate and firing two blasts from his repulsers into Paradox's chest. This stunned Paradox as Diamond charged at him and began to tear all the vital wires, buttons, and controls that operated Paradox's mechanical body. Paradox's voice box became affected as it began to shift into different tones and voices as he tried to speak, "No, I will.....not.....be bested a.....second......time." Paradox was able to gain control of his arms as he threw Diamond out of the train cart out into the city's skyline. Diamond was able to shoot a grapple around Paradox's legs as he pulled both of them out into the air as his body began to glow golden with pure Light. Paradox descended towards him with chains around his body as he prepared to strike fatal blows on Diamond's body. Diamond closed his eyes as he extended his right arm while having his fingers form a finger gun. He whispered silently with firm conviction, "Through the power of Heaven's Light all things are possible......grant me the power to send this foul demon of a man back to the infernal depths where he belongs." Diamond then fired a large blast of pure Light towards Paradox as his enemy screamed in anger, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" The power caused from this blast was so strong and hot that it started to melt the metal on Paradox's body and causing any remaining circuits to fry.
Diamond floated towards the ground as he stared at a ball of fire fall towards the ground as it created a large crater. He stepped forward and saw Paradox's mangled body as his soul still held possession of it. Paradox was still able to manipulate his body to change into whoever he chooses, and as a last resort he changed to Diamond's mother. "Trevor.......how could you do this.....to me......your own mother.......after all your father and I have done for you this is how you repay us?" "Quit your bull you pathetic character of a soul. If I had the power to judge you in the afterlife, I would create a separate place for sadistic manipulators such as yourself so all you scoundrels can do nothing more than hurt yourselves for your sins!" Diamond then used his power to lift Paradox in the air and was about to crush his body and seal his soul permanently, but as he did so a blazing portal appeared as a pitch-black arm reached out and snatched Paradox before Diamond had time to react. Dumbfounded, Diamond de-activated his suit and left his Light form in order to process what happened. Realizing there was nothing else to do he traveled back to the castle. When he arrived, he saw how the group of heroes easily defeated all of the devilish creatures and were tossing all the dead bodies into a giant pile. Only one thing concerned him, the fact Lorenzo and Viciate's bodies were both missing from the battle. He reasoned they managed to escape, but with the injuries they sustained, it would be a long while before they would show themselves again. After making this assumption, Diamond's family greeted him with open arms and hugs, yet even Diamond did not recognize Tray's new body. Tray had to explain his entire story again to Diamond so he would understand why he looked like "A living glowstick." Hearing Tray's story about Joan made Diamond sorrowful and offered to help in making sure Joan's body receives a proper burial. King Alexander and Diamond hastily organized the funeral and gave Joan's family time to grieve and remember their youngest member that was stolen from them.
While the mourners were conversing with themselves, the king wanted to lead Diamond through the many rooms and wings of the enchanting castle. He wanted to show Diamond the inner secrets and history of this castle, so he very discretely led him down a flight of stairs into an older section of the castle where even most of the king's court were not allowed to enter. The two stepped through two enormous emerald doors and continued on through the darkness. The king ignited a turquoise flame from his hands and led Diamond to a large wall. King Alexander, "Stare at these murals Diamond. Notice the story they tell." Diamond stared at the murals and paintings on the wall trying to understand the history behind them. He saw what appeared to be angels directing two races. To the right were humans with their leader baring a resemblance to Alexander with folded hands in prayer as their eyes gazed at the Heavenly specters, in addition it appeared that swords and shields were descending towards them. To the left were the ancient race of Enders who also had their gaze towards Heaven, but descending towards their hands were scrolls with quills, signifying their role to write and document. At the front of the line of Enders stood none other than Ranfus, although significantly younger. Diamond continued down the wall as the next scene involved the leaders of the humans and enders being coronated with the two leaders' hands being locked in agreement. The next scene depicted what was either a battle or war where many humans and enders were dead, brough to their demise by rebellious humans. It depicted how after the battle Ranfus took the remaining enders away to a place that could supervise the entire Megaverse free from human interaction. The last scene showed the battle worn king of the humans siting on his throne with a tear in his left eye, while his right side remained stoic. His left arm pointed downwards to a decree while his right arm pointed upwards with a grand castle and city floating in the palm of his hand. "The Enders used to dwell with you?" "Indeed, for you see, the king in those murals is actually my great-grandfather. Time goes by very slowly for us here, not only that but we tend to live for thousands of years. Originally, after the first man and woman were created and fell into sin, we were created in the aftermath of that event. We bear the same weaknesses as other humans after the fall, but we were created to protect the Enders, who would document the shifting tide of Creation across the Megaverse. Our special duty connected us more in tune with the messengers of Heaven and we strived to live up to our mission of acting as the second example for the Megaverse, the Main Omniverse being the first. Yet, a few of the humans of my great-grandfather's time were seduced by the powers of evil for the many fallen angels, now turned demons, preyed upon their fallen status and sparked division between human and ender. Eventually a genocide broke out where rogue humans wanted the power of the Enders to themselves and would slaughter anyone who opposed them. My great-grandfather and Ranfus ultimately triumphed, but the damage had been done for the Enders no longer trusted us and collectively agreed humans everywhere were unpredictable and destructive. Ranfus left this Omniverse with the survivors of his race, thus leaving us as the sole inhabitants of this realm. From the ashes of the old kingdom, my great-grandfather led the creation of a new one as you can see here, but the reason why his left side is sad is the fact he did not kill the leaders of the rebellion. He did not want to take their lives, so instead he banished them to the wildness of the Megaverse. After casting them out of this Omniverse, he placed a ban where no one will be able to enter or leave. Using his divine gifts, he was able to practically make it seem like this Omniverse was erased and could not be discoverable unless him or another king wills its borders to open up once again."
"And what happened to the exiled ones?" "Most of them died across the Megaverse but their main leader, Mek'el continued following the path of evil and grew stronger in the powers of darkness. This granted him an unnatural talent of cheating death, but when an event in Omniverse 63,745 occurred when that Omniverse's Celestial had an offspring with that Omniverse's name for an angel, Mek'el sensed the potential of such an offspring." "Hold on, that's the Omniverse the Megaverse Council and I had named Evangelion. Yeah, those creatures they call angels are definitely not real angels, but you mean to tell me that this Mek'el influenced The Devourer?" "No, Mek'el BECAME The Devourer. He transferred his soul into the newborn soul of the deadly offspring, completely fusing with the new soul. In response to this, my great-grandfather on his deathbed, ordered my grandfather to create a device that could end Mek'el once and for all. That device was the Matrix of Eternity. It was hastily crafted before my grandfather sent it to Omniverse 63,745 hoping it could destroy Mek'el there. Unfortunately, it did not fulfill its original purpose due to Mek'el fully becoming The Devourer and traveled across the Megaverse eating the Core of whatever Omniverse he entered. His travels would take a long time to reach his next destination, but nothing could stop him. The Matrix continued to grow with wisdom in Omniverse 63,745 before an apparition of an Ender ordered a singular person to send the Matrix in the direction of the Main Omniverse. Eventually, the Matrix landed in your Omniverse, but was kept hidden for a long time with only glimpses and rumors of such a treasure of untold power being passed on from dimension to dimension. Finally at last, you found it in 2021 just as The Devourer arrived in your Omniverse. Little did you know, but upon his defeat when you unleashed the power of the Matrix, it sent shockwaves across the Megaverse. Myself along with my people celebrated when we felt the destruction of The Devourer, finally knowing a dark piece of our history has been put to rest." "When I traveled to Omniverse 63,745 last summer, it was promoted that they created the Matrix of Eternity." "Their leaders simply changed the story and wiped our part out of their history books, for the select few who told you it was their ancestors that created it are not at fault. For they too believe this error, this is simply a mistake on their ancestor's part and nothing more. Come along now, let's head back up a few stairs back to where there was an intersection, there is more I need to show you."
The king led Diamond to a room with many floating orbs that had different colors symbolizing a different Omniverse. "I am aware that you and the Megaverse Council have a broad idea to all the soldiers at the disposal of our enemy. But I want to show you some specific souls that are.......unique. The person known as The Ageless managed to recruit several corrupted versions of the strongest beings in your Omniverse's hierarchy. Among them consist of a fallen Omniversal Tribunal, Protectors, Insanity Trio, Bad Time Trio, many alternate timeline versions of you, and other powerful individuals from the Megaverse. The Ageless and Demonic Council calls this elite group the Bad End Friends. King Alexander brings forth an orb that displays the souls of those fallen humans. This reveals the true thoughts of their soul and what their soul really says." Diamond leaned forward to hear the cries of their souls and was surprised to hear their souls cry out in unison. "We just wanted to heal but now our nightmares are real, and we'll never wake up for we're torn apart! We want freedom! Freedom! Freedom!" Diamond could not believe what he heard, for it caused him to step back to avoid their cries. "Secondly, I want to briefly touch on the Ageless' story. Thousands of years ago lived a man born with unnatural gifts, he could enter into violent places and leave with minor bruises. He was able to kill the celestials in his world with his mere hands and crude weapons. Yet, he was not satisfied, he wanted more power and more entities to kill, for he enjoyed the bloodlust. This led to him being sought out by the fallen Seraphim now named Black Hat. He offered him more power and an entire place beyond his imagination to live the rest of his days as a butcher. The man agreed and henceforth became an unwavering servant directly to Black Hat. Eventually, he earned a reputation by parading himself as a savior wearing polished white and gold armor, in order to win the trust of many defenders who protected their native Omniverse. Once he won their complete trust and learned their secrets and fears, it would be too late for that Omniverse. For it would be a matter of time before complete carnage would be unleashed on all the helpless souls in that Omniverse. Thus, he was given the title Harbinger of the End.......a human who is an undisputed champion in gladiator battles with a mind to match his muscles.......a man always youthful, laughing at the hands of time........The Ageless."
"The last thing I want to reveal to you is the location of our enemy's base. The Megaverse Council has discovered it and that is Omniverse 6,666,666. That Omniverse had so many events that ran parallel with your Omniverse it was almost an exact copy. However, before your Omniverse was assaulted by Black Hat's forces in 2021, they won a resounding battle in that Omniverse. Everything that could have gone wrong in that final battle, did indeed go wrong." King Alexander used his powers to generate a vision of that fateful day. The scene pans to a bloodied and defeated Diamond with a shattered Sword of the Omniverse with Black Hat towering over him. The two listened intently when Black Hat spoke, "The Initiative has fallen. Its members......lost. You have been deceived......betrayed.........purged." The vision hovers over countless bodies of Initiative members that had died in the battle with some of their corpses disfigured and mutilated they were unidentifiable. "I can feel you are scared of judgement day. You led millions of souls to their grave. Your lukewarm faith shaken due to your pleas and petitions being ignored. So, I offer you a choice. Join us and postpone the judgement day, have all the pleasures of the world handed back to you, and avoid living the life as a failure!" The defeated Diamond raised his teary eyes and spoke, "I......accept!" The crowd around him chuckled as Black Hat stepped away with Alastor taking his place, "It's a deal!" The defeated Diamond shook his hand and became controlled and a vessel for Alastor until his original body could be restored. After this moment a large echo of thunder echoes across the battlefield with a bright light shining in the distance. The Ageless, "What is that?" Black Hat, "The veil of the Main Omniverse has been lifted. We are no longer kept out! We must seize this opportunity before it's too late." Ageless remain here with Alastor's vessel." "Why?" "If things go sour for me and my forces in the Main Omniverse, I want us to still have a strong foothold here in the Megaverse. This Omniverse will be perfect. I will be taking half of our forces with me." "What of the few people who survived this battle, should I find them and use them as prisoners and entertainment?" Black Hat had a sadistic smile, "There are no survivors!" The vision then played the sounds of screams with Diamond begging Alexander to end the vision. "That's enough! I cannot watch nor listen to this vision anymore! Please end this nightmare!"
Alexander ended the vision as the two were brought back to reality. Alexander spoke with sympathy to Diamond, "I did not show you that vision to torture you. I revealed it, because you need to understand exactly what to expect from our enemy and take deep root in your faith." "Why did the pleas and petitions of that Diamond go unanswered?" "Truthfully, that Diamond did not pray for deliverance, he instead wanted more glory and praise. When he was in public and prayed, it was for show, and he was not sincere in the words he said. Even at the last moment, he received a message from Heaven begging him to repent from his prideful ways and deliverance would come. Yet, in that last moment, he refused with his soul saying no it has to be my way and I do not want to change the life I am living and that's final. It was his fault no Heavenly aid came, now he has no one else to blame other than himself for his misdeeds and wickedness." Diamond's body had a series of goosebumps when King Alexander finished speaking. He always wondered what would have happened in the final battle for his Omniverse if there was no intervention, now he wished for this catastrophic example to leave his mind.
After this event, King Alexander led Diamond to a sacred place called the Veil of the Celestial Plane to speak with his angelic friends. Along the way, King Alexander explained to Diamond the difference between True Balance and Perfection. How True Balance is the perfect imperfect form of Perfection, because as mortal creatures that are finite with flaws no person alive can reach True Perfection. He explained how demons fear True Balance and how the demons only focus on temporal goals not eternal, for all that awaits them in eternity is eternal punishment. (This is a footnote, because at the end of this post in the comment section I will share the entire conversation in greater detail, for some reason the Sub-Reddit automatic rules count it as a rating post no matter how hard I rephrased the dialogue. Very weird that happened because it never happened before, but hopefully I will be able to share that conversation in full under this post, because it took a lot of effort in composing the dialogue.)
Filled with courage and zeal from their conversation, Diamond entered into the Veil and soon found himself in a vast empty white plain where numerous figures of light floated around him before manifesting themselves as angelic beings. He observed how each of the nine choirs of angels were present. "The Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and Angels. All present here at this very moment." A Seraphim spoke up, "Why do you wish to commune with us?" "I am here seeking advice from my Heavenly friends in these trying times. I'm sure all of you are very much aware and can sense in the Celestial Cosmic Plane that the forces of evil are growing ever so powerful. I can feel it within my being that soon a final confrontation may happen." Saint Michael the Archangel, "You already possess all that you need. You know the prayers for deliverance and aid. Furthermore, you know how your enemy thinks." "With all due respect, this time it is different. Different than the way it was for the fate of the Main Omnvierse. This....is the fate of the Megaverse....of everything that had exist, currently exists and will exist. Please there must be some advice all of you may be able to bestow upon me." A Virtue floated towards Diamond's soul to speak, "These particular demons feast on fear, chaos, and revenge. They want nothing more than to see the righteous fall, yet their common weakness is the sin of pride." Uriel intervened, "Pride, that ancient sin which was the sole root that led a third of our former brothers and sisters into disobedience. Fully rejecting the True Love of the Father and willingly following the arrogance of the fallen light bearer, who now brings darkness and death to everyone." Azrael quickly followed up with Uriel's statement, "When they fell from grace, they still retained their position and powers. Now with their leaders nearly having their bodies restored before their fall, through the power of The Seed, they are more of a threat to the Natural Order."
Diamond came to a sudden realization, "With Cloaked Shadow having control of the Dark and shadows in general, does that mean he was a Power before he fell?" The choirs nodded as Diamond responded with his hands near his mouth deep in thought. "I see, well if pride is their weakness than surely arrogance is a key factor in their personalities. Perhaps if the Matrix of Eternity is re-loaded with the knowledge accessible from the Alphaverse, it could overwhelm them." A Cherub, "Yes! The knowledge from the Alphaverse can restore the Matrix and used to harm the demons!" Saint Gabriel the Archangel, "Do not be afraid in this next step in your journey, Trevor. Since the fall of man, the Devil and his minions have actively been at war with mankind, searching for ways to snatch souls from Heaven. Yet, in the history of not only the Megaverse, but your own world, you know that God conquers all, even in the darkest times. From the persecution of the early Christians under the rule of the Mad Emperor Nero, deadly heresies, scandals, political and religious wars, the French Revolution, Napoleon Wars, Russian Revolution, Mexican Revolution, World Wars, down to the present. The demons worked through man to not only bring ruin to the face of the Earth, but to attack the Church. However, both the Earth and the Church have endured and will continue to endure until the end of time when God will come in all His splendor and glory and reward the just while punishing the wicked. For they will receive their reward." A Throne, "There is one more thing that will surely turn the tide of the war, but only as a last resort." Diamond, "What is it? Please share." A Seraphim, "The hypothesis of you being able to fuse with your friends Ben Tennyson and Xavier is true. If Xavier is fully in tune with his scarab and enter into his phase known as Sacred and Tennyson into Alien X, you three will become the singular most powerful entity in the entire Megaverse." Saint Michael the Archangel, "Be warned for this should only be used as a complete last resort. For there can be no going back when you three become a singular entity. There might be potential for you three to separate from this final form, but if there is, it will be certain death for no mortal can yield that much power. Arise young warrior, take courage, and have total faith on the Lord, He will hear your prayers. Remember we are at your side and every warrior in the final battle will have their guardian angel with them at all times."
The Heavenly beings once again became balls of bright light, which slowly blinded Diamond before he awoke from his vision back in his own body just before the Veil of the Celestial Plane. King Alexander stared at Diamond before helping him to his feet. Diamond, "I know what I must do. I must re-load the Matrix in the Well of the Megaverse." Alexander, "That's suicide. For you to be exposed to so much power and knowledge, it will vaporize you." "Believe me, it will work. Just help me recover the pieces of the Matrix and I will reforge it with the nanotech from my suit." Diamond sprinted with great haste through all the flights of stairs Alexander had them take, back to where the pieces of the Matrix laid. He had Alexander hold the pieces together in their proper position as the nanotech from his suit crawled around the broken pieces and fused the Matrix back together again. During this time the other heroes caught up to Diamond and Alexander and decided to watch as Diamond would enter the Well of the Megaverse. King Alexander led the group to the entrance of the Well where everyone wished him good luck. Diamond transformed into his Light form and entered the Well. This form allowed him to withstand the pressure around him as he opened the Matrix to collect wisdom from all corners of the Megaverse both the good and bad. When he did this, thousands of images and lifetimes flashed in his mind causing him to scream, in order to avoid his mind from overloading he constantly switched to different forms and phases every 30 seconds. Everyone waited anxiously outside after hearing Diamond's screams and began to fear for the worst, but just when their hope wavered, a silhouette started to walk towards them. From the depths of the Well emerged Diamond holding the restored Matrix of Eternity firmly in his right hand. King Alexander, "Welcome back Diamond!" "Thanks. With the Matrix restored and the new alliance your Omniverse has made with the Megaverse Council, hope for our victory has reached an all-time high." The heroes only stayed for a few more hours at the Alphaverse before returning back to the base of the Megaverse Council. Upon arrival, the Council members were stunned to see the return of their leader, and with swift orders, Diamond once again regained leadership of the Megaverse Council.
Epilogue
In a desolate place with abandoned buildings in Omniverse 3. "Volxi, can you head downstairs into our storage to bring some refreshment to our party?" "You got it sis!" Volxi entered into one of the chambers to find a spare stash of spiked beverages but was startled when she heard a voice echo in the darkness. "Time's running out Vol." She leaned over to view where the voice was coming from until her eyes landed on a glowing dark green warrior. She gasped as she recognized it was her old friend from Omniverse 8. "Cayden what happened to you?" "That name no longer has any meaning for me." "You look so different. Your skin is green and your eyes black. You look like......" "A ghost? Phantom? Condemned Soul?! Truly a miserable fate I have fallen into. Given a body constantly degenerating and repairing itself, allowing me to phase between matter but how painful it is feeling my cells destroy themselves before regenerating and repeating the process all over again." "Is this a dream?" "No." "I thought not, if it was there would be something to replenish my throat." Cayden hands Volxi a bottle. "Thanks mate. I still have a cup on me. Here it's on the house." Cayden took a long sip before speaking. "We haven't seen each other since the destruction of your people's original home. A lot has happened since then. Last year a terrible event plagued the Megaverse and I tried to stop it. I made my own device that enabled me to visit other Omniverses. I could sense something sinister causing many Omniverses to die. I took my weapons and went to who I thought was responsible. That man was so strong and talented, he mortally wounded me without taking our fight seriously. I thought at that moment when I laid dying that I would give anything to get a second chance at life. To see my friends and family again. My requests were answered by a figure in black business attire and a top hat."
Volxi groaned for she knew who he was referring to while Cayden continued on with his speech. "I accepted his offer and became what you see before you. The only part that was positive is in our contract, I managed to still own partial control of my soul. Perhaps it is through this partial ownership that causes me to experience great pains and desperately seek liberation." "And you came back to your friend for aid huh?" "No, I came as a messenger." Volxi stared at him with concern. "You struck a deal with him too, Volxi. A deal before your home, the ninth Omniverse was destroyed, causing you and all the survivors to wander throughout the Megaverse." "I forgot all about that deal. It can't happen this soon, he did not even stay true to his promise." "Is that really a surprise?" "DANG IT! Alright I'll wager my way out of it. I always do." "You can't talk to yourself out of this one!" "How long do I have Cayden?" Cayden stepped close to Volxi where he was only a few inches away from her face. "That name has no meaning for me, I'm The Shameful now. You have only a few hours. He will send his terrible leviathan to drag you, your sister, and this entire Omniverse along with you! Already his army sets their eyes on this world, drawn by ravenous hunger, by the one who bears the crimson scar." The Shameful laid his hand on a piece of Volxi's face that was not covered by cybernetics. "Make peace with your losses and may it only be a swift end and not a contract of servitude. Alas, he always comes to collect what is his." In that moment The Shameful vanished from her sight and without a moment to lose, she started running back upstairs into the settlement screaming for everyone to pack their things and prepare to leave. Her sister, Val stopped her, "Did you fall down the stairs giving you that slash across your face? What's coming after us?" Volxi stared deep into her sister's soul, "We need to run as far as we can and get our people to safety before it's too late." From a few hundred yards away The Ageless stood waiting for the perfect time to strike with Maestro Zorro summoning the nightmarish Leviathan.

You Want to Make Money and So Does GameStop: When I Move You Move
So if you're reading this you were probably kicked in the pants during premarket trading 06/07/2024. Cohen released Q1 earnings early and filed to to issue 75M newly minted shares from the company's treasury. Kitty was taking us to the moon, and the rocket exploded before it exited the atmosphere. So now what? Here's a sober reading of where things stand and where I think Cohen's turnaround is going.
tldr: Cohen is turning GME into a Berkshire Hathaway type company and the share price will rocket to mars if you trust the process.
Take a step back and consider the situation. Shares of a video game pawn shop are the proxy for a battleground on wall street.
Many hedge funds and large whales think the company will fail, and buy puts or take short positions on the stock. Others like you and I think the company's stock is going to go up via a squeeze, or because the fundamentals are rapidly improving under Ryan Cohen's tutelage.
What happened yesterday matters less than what happens tomorrow.
I have a thesis for what Cohen's thinking, and why Friday's moves by GameStop will be good for the stock that you like.
So 75M new shares represents 15% of dilution and raises outstanding shares to 420M (nice). Technically 421M but whatever.
At the end of trading Friday, 279M shares traded. Loud AF volume. Cohen very easily could have completed the 75M share offering selling into that frenzy given that extraordinary liquidity. Including premarket prices, the stock traded between $26-64.
Share activity 06/07/2024 per yahoo! finance
What this means is:
Racks on Racks
Assuming Ryan Cohen lined up some trades from the line of people that want their hands on shares, we could have sold those 75M shares at a $40/sh average. That means the company just raised a fresh $3 Billion with a B.
Add that to the $2 Billion already in the bank and you got nearly $5 Billion cash and no debt or liabilities.
Assuming Cohen decides to take a nap on that cash pile, the company will generate $250,000,000 Interest Income per year at a 5% rate. THIS IS BIG.
At a minimum this means GameStop will be profitable this year, next year, forever.
Remember back in March 2024, we learned GameStop was profitable for the first time in years?
Source: GME Earnings Release FY 2023
What if we slap $250M of interest income onto the $6.7M of FY 2023 income? We'd have a 2023 net income of $257M vs a net loss in 2022 of $313M. That's a $570M swing in income.
But we are in FY 2024 and we just got Q1 results...and guess what? FY2024 net income is going to crush FY2023, and the media isn't telling you that.
jerk off hand motion
Let's analyze Friday's Q1 earning release (the worst earning report of the year as it follows the holidays).
https://gamestop.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gamestop-discloses-first-quarter-2024-results
We learned: Expenses are shrinking and our Net Loss for the Quarter was $32M compared to $50M the year before. That's a 36% improvement in profitability in a 1 year timespan.
What we should see in the quarters to come is a decrease in expenses as GameStop closes less profitable stores in locations where multiple stores exists. Revenue will decrease yes, but so will expenses, and margins in the remaining stores will grow.
Remember, GameStop was profitable for the year, and with continued cost cuts at retail stores, and with $250M interest income, will make FY 2024 net income of $3-400 Million, or a $1 + Earnings per share.
Cohen is doing the impossible: making GME stores income generators.
So what? I want to shit on my boss's desk on Monday?
Well if you want to make money think like Roaring Kitty and Ryan Cohen. Remember RK is DeepFuckingValue, and he sees value in this play from a fundamentals lens.
Here's what Cohen is doing:
$250M of interest income is cool, but not cool enough. Imagine a quarter or two from now we get a big update from RC and this is what he does with the $5B cash:
example of DeepFuckingValue
A move like this would cause tectonic plates to shift on wall street.
GameStop's cash balance shifting into equities turns the company into a mini Berkshire Hathaway raising the floor on the stock price, eliminating bankruptcy and setting us up to make money on the stonk through capital appreciation.
Say Cohen is as savvy as we think and his investments of GameStop's capital increase 20% and he sells them in a year? 20% on $4 Billion of gain is net income of $800M, $2 EPS. Company now has nearly $6B cash. Rinse, repeat
If you can see my point, Cohen/Kitty see GME as a DEEEEEEP value play.
GameStop can use it's cash pile to leverage it's earnings potential and explode it's market cap. Consider this:
https://preview.redd.it/6vvxvjnu8m5d1.png?width=443&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd6b75fd61bee727366ed290efd5cfb8a5458445
If GameStop can increase it's war chest, our marketcap floor increases. At a $84B evaluation GME shares would be trading at $200 ($800) pre split.
When GameStop makes and raises money, we make and raise money. When I move, you move.
So don't be discouraged about dips. This play is still live, there's value here and I'm invested regardless of any squeeze. This is NVIDIA before it was $1200/share protentional in my opinion.

2024.06.09 23:40 spogetini [P] Developing a model for resource-constrained devices

I'm developing a project where I want to generate a stereoscopic 3d image pair on the 3ds, to enable 3d-mode viewing for applications that don't possess this capability.
Here's a model that does the exact thing that I need, but not at the performance that I require: https://github.com/browarsoftware/stereofast
At this point in the project, I have used this tutorial: https://tvm.apache.org/docs/how_to/work_with_microtvm/micro_custom_ide.html to run a benchmark on the 3ds. the model used in the tutorial (Visual Wake Word model that recognizes if a person is in the frame or not) takes 125-129ms to run. this is not great. I'm currently in the process of porting MiDaS small 256 to the 3ds for benchmarking, but I'm worried MiDaS or any depth-estimation models are too resource-intensive for my project, so I was considering designing my own model with some semantic segmentation or depth estimation capabilities to deal with my hardware constraints.
The problem is, I have no idea what operations are more or less resource-intensive when it comes to machine learning models, so I decided to post here for advice.
If I design my own machine learning model optimized for my use case, what are the maximium possible capabilities the model could have while maintaining OK performance? what should I consider?
for reference the n3ds specs: ARM11 MPCore Quad Core @ 268MHz (one reserved for OS) – Quad Core VFPv2 Co-Processor (vector processors) – 256MB FCRAM–

Training

For background, I (36M) started running in 2020, set the goal of running 12 marathons in 2024 and have completed six so far: Houston (3:12), Surf City (3:14), Napa (3:11), LA (3:25), Eugene (3:06) and Ogden (3:06). Number seven would be the Tunnel Marathon.
After Ogden, I finally started to feel the cumulative effects of seven marathons in six months, dating back to CIM in December. It seemed like every lower body part that could ache was aching -- toes, arches, ankles, achilles and shins -- and recovery took longer than usual.
Even though my body was barking at me, I still felt like I was in good marathon shape, and metathon predicted a 3:06 one week out, which was close enough to a BQ time for me to decide to use the Tunnel Marathon to take a second crack at running under 3:05. With summer having arrived early in northern California, I also told myself that it would be my last PR-type effort for a few months at minimum.
During the three weeks between Ogden and Tunnel -- before beginning a 6-day taper -- I squeezed in one long run of 21 miles and a handful of medium long runs between 12 to 15 miles. My last quality session before the taper was a half-marathon, in which I set a PB of 1:28. While it may not have been the most sensible decision, it gave me a confidence boost that I might be able to hold 7-minute mile pace for a little more than three hours.

Pre-race

I flew into Seattle Friday morning and rented a car to drive to one of the race-affiliated hotels in Issaquah. The hotel was within walking distance to a Safeway where I picked up a box of uncrustables and several pints of ice cream since I have the palate of a toddler.
On Saturday morning, I stuck to my usual pre-marathon 4-mile run and ended up getting a bit carried away, logging two miles at sub-7-minute pace. Afterwards, I noshed on pasta, pizza and cookies until packet pick-up, which was held between 12pm-4pm at a local middle school parking lot. From the time I parked to the time I got my bib, not more than 5 minutes passed, which is the quickest bib pick-up I've experienced.
Race morning, I woke up at 3:15am, had coffee, did some light stretching and set off on a 40-minute drive to the start line at the Snoqualmie Pass. I didn't have an appetite but forced down a few mini graham crackers Southwest hands out during flights.
Over the past few marathons, I've lucked out on the weather, and this marathon continued that trend: low 50's with plenty of cloud cover at the start with highs in the 70's later in the day.

Race

After letting myself get sucked into the 3:05 pacer's race in Ogden, the phrase that kept swirling around in my head at the start area was "Run your race," which to a large extent meant start conservatively. To reinforce that approach, I ordered a pace band from findmymarathon and selected the very conservative start strategy, which had me aiming for between 7:10 to 7:20 per mile through the first three miles.
One of the appeals of the Tunnel Marathons is getting to run through a tunnel for a little over 2 miles, and this is where things got perilous. The terrain in the tunnel is straight out of Home Alone 2 with a litany of booby traps: uneven pavement, huge potholes, mud and puddles of water. Even though I and everyone around me had their head lamps on, someone a few feet in front of me took a nasty fall, and I rolled my ankle due to a pothole.
After making it out of the tunnel, I caught up to the 3-hour pace group, which is not something I've ever done before, and ran with them for about a mile. Due to the near disaster earlier, I decided to pass the 3-hour pace group so I could see the pavement in front of me, and this became one of my primary objectives for the remainder of the race.
And so, from mile 4 on, I was more or less on my own, occasionally passing an early start marathoner or having to dodge oncoming bike riders. I did make a point of taking in the scenery when crossing bridges, but as soon as gravel was underfoot again, I quickly turned my attention to the ground in front of me.
After coming through the half well under 1:30, I thought perhaps I was going too fast and needed to dial it back. I took inventory of how I was feeling, and the effort didn't feel particularly labored, so I just kept clipping off sub-6:50 miles (which feels bananas to write).
At mile 20, I took my fourth and final gel and allowed myself to entertain the thought of running under 3 hours. Given the struggles I've had in the last 5k of marathons, I told myself to take it one mile at a time. As I entered those final miles, my legs were feeling good, so I started to crank down the pace, dropping down into threshold pace for miles 24 through 26. Making the last turn and entering the final straightaway, I could vaguely see 2:50 something on the clock and gave one final push to the finish.

Post-race

After crossing the finish line, I was in disbelief. Not only did I run under 3:05, but I ran under 3 hours, which frankly is not something I ever thought was in the cards for me. A volunteer handed me a cold towel and cup of water, and I spent a few minutes soaking in the finish line area.
There was an interesting variety of treats, from potato chips to fresh fruit and slices of cake and mixed nuts, but I just grabbed a couple cans of coke and cartons of chocolate milk before hopping on a bus back to the start line.
At the risk of statng the obvious, the Tunnel Marathon is a very fast course, though the terrain does present some challenges. Certainly happy I got a chance to run this marathon and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to others.

2024.06.09 23:28 DisciplineNo1000 The Evolution of IPTV: From Cable to Internet Streaming

The Evolution of IPTV: From Cable to Internet Streaming
https://preview.redd.it/317pl02d6m5d1.png?width=1260&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c3efdad8ca9f9aa239eda3afe985772cca823fa

Introduction

The world of television has undergone a massive transformation over the years, shifting from traditional cable to internet streaming services. At the heart of this revolution is IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television. But what exactly is IPTV, and how did we get here? Let's dive into the fascinating journey of IPTV and see how it has evolved to change the way we consume media. With IPTV Trends leading the charge, we're seeing a new era of viewing convenience and content diversity.

The Early Days of Cable Television

Cable television was a groundbreaking development when it first emerged. It brought the promise of more channels and better reception compared to the traditional broadcast TV. Technological advancements in the 1940s and 1950s allowed for the widespread adoption of cable TV, providing households with access to a variety of programs from across the globe. However, cable TV had its limitations, including fixed schedules and lack of interactivity.

The Birth of IPTV

As the internet began to flourish in the late 20th century, a new way of delivering television content emerged: IPTV. Unlike cable TV, which relied on physical coaxial cables, IPTV uses the internet to deliver content. This was a game-changer, offering a more flexible and interactive viewing experience. Early adopters quickly saw the potential, although initial reception was mixed due to bandwidth limitations and technological constraints.

How IPTV Works

IPTV functions by sending television content over the internet through a series of protocols. Instead of traditional broadcasting methods, IPTV uses IP (Internet Protocol) to deliver video content. This allows users to stream content directly to their devices without the need for a satellite dish or extensive cable infrastructure. The role of the internet in IPTV cannot be overstated, as it provides the backbone for delivering high-quality video content seamlessly.

Advantages of IPTV over Traditional Cable

One of the biggest advantages of IPTV is the enhanced viewing experience it offers. Users can enjoy high-definition content, interactive features, and a more personalized viewing experience. On-demand content is another major benefit, allowing viewers to watch what they want when they want. Additionally, IPTV tends to be more cost-effective compared to traditional cable services, making it an attractive option for many households. With IPTV Trends, you get the best IPTV service tailored to your needs.

Types of IPTV Services

IPTV services come in various forms, catering to different viewing preferences:
  • Live IPTV: Streaming live television broadcasts over the internet.
  • Time-shifted IPTV: Allows users to watch previously broadcasted shows at their convenience.
  • Video on Demand (VoD): Provides access to a vast library of content that can be watched at any time.
With IPTV Trends, you can access all these types and enjoy the best IPTV experience available.

Major Milestones in IPTV Development

The journey of IPTV has been marked by several key innovations. The early 2000s saw the introduction of more sophisticated streaming technologies, which improved the quality and reliability of IPTV services. Major companies began adopting IPTV, further driving its popularity. This period also saw significant impacts on the entertainment industry, as traditional cable providers started losing ground to internet-based services.

IPTV and the Rise of Streaming Giants

The entry of streaming giants like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video transformed the landscape of television viewing. These platforms leveraged IPTV technology to offer vast libraries of content, often producing their own exclusive shows and movies. This shift not only changed viewing habits but also intensified competition in the entertainment industry, leading to collaborations and mergers.

Challenges and Criticisms of IPTV

Despite its many advantages, IPTV is not without challenges. Technical issues such as buffering and latency can affect the viewing experience. Content piracy is another significant concern, with unauthorized streaming posing a threat to the industry. Additionally, regulatory challenges vary by region, with some countries imposing strict rules on IPTV services to protect traditional broadcasters. IPTV Trends addresses these challenges by offering reliable services and adhering to all legal regulations, ensuring that you receive the best IPTV service without any hassle.

The Role of Smart TVs in IPTV Adoption

Smart TVs have played a crucial role in the widespread adoption of IPTV. These devices come with built-in internet connectivity and apps, making it easy for users to access IPTV services. The integration of IPTV into smart TVs has provided consumers with a seamless and convenient way to enjoy a wide range of content, contributing to market growth. IPTV Trends is compatible with all major smart TV brands, making it easy for you to access the best IPTV content on your favorite devices.

Impact of Mobile Devices on IPTV Consumption

The rise of mobile devices has also significantly impacted IPTV consumption. With smartphones and tablets, users can now watch their favorite shows on the go. Mobile apps have made IPTV services more accessible, catering to the changing viewer demographics that increasingly favor mobile viewing. IPTV Trends offers a top-notch mobile viewing experience through its IPTV smarters expert app, ensuring that you never miss a show, no matter where you are.

Future Trends in IPTV

Looking ahead, the future of IPTV seems promising with continuous advancements in technology. The potential integration of 5G networks could further enhance the quality and speed of IPTV services. Predicted market trends indicate a growing demand for personalized and interactive content, driving further innovation in the industry. IPTV Trends is at the forefront of these innovations, constantly upgrading its services to provide you with the best IPTV experience.

Comparing IPTV with Other Streaming Technologies

2024.06.09 23:27 L-DFile What I expect in the VS Blackbeard arc

Not long ago, I made a post about what my expectations are for the Elbaf arc. And it that list, I believed that the end of that arc could be a setup for the next Arc where Emperors Luffy & Teach will have their long awaited war!
While Idk exactly how, where, and/or when it will happen, I do in fact have a list of what my expectations will be for that very arc, which will be the main topic of this post. So without further ado, let's begin shall we.
What will inspire Luffy to go face Teach?
Besides being partly responsible for what happened to Ace & the WB Pirates, there are more good reasons why Luffy would go after Blackbeard, regardless of what his crew may think. For example, there's:
‐ The attack on Amazon Lily, where Teach tried to kill Hancock in an effort to get her Love Love Fruit, even though Rayleigh was able to thwart it in the last minute.
-Auger & Aokiji kidnapping Pudding, although that would mostly be something that will inspire Sanji to join Luffy in facing his fellow Emperor.
-Garp's capture, and possible execution (which I'll explain a bit more later in the post).
And although it hasn't happened yet, we can assume that Teach will kill Shanks not long after their long awaited reunion.
Plus, let's not forget that both Fishman & Wano will perish the moment Caribou tells the Blackbeard Pirates that 2 of the Ancient weapons are located there! And I don't expect Caribou to receive the same redemption arc Bellamy did.
Who will side with Luffy during this arc?
Based on what I have said on the 1st part, it should stand to reason that the Strawhats' side in this arc will most likely be an alliance involving the Big Mom Pirates, Hancock's group, and the Marines lead by Koby.
But while this kind of alliance is possible, the only question is whether or not they will put aside their differences & work together! After all:
- The Big Mom Pirates may hold a grudge against the Strawhats for what happened to their mother even though it was mostly Kid & Law's doing.
-Although Hancock would do almost anything for Luffy, there's also a chance her bias thoughts on Koby & Vegapunk for what they did to her homeland may cloud her judgment, whether or not she would at least give them a chance to earn her trust like Luffy did.
- Due to the events in Egghead, some Marines may not want to risk whatever is left of their resources to save Garp, even if there willing to get help from another Emperor like Luffy to do so.
However, since Luffy has the power to make those around him into his allies, I can see a moment similar to what he did in Udon where he inspires them to choose whether or not they'll join forces.
Buggy & Cross Guild's involvement
Back when we last saw Buggy, we not only watched him bravely stand up to his "commanders", and but also announced to everyone that Cross Guild will participate in the search for the One Piece.
And with the help of the recent chapter where we saw Crocodile's reaction to Vegapunk's message, including the part about the Ancient Weapons, this could be by far the only thing that could inspire all members to help each other get what they want, regardless of the risk.
Unfortunately, since the Blackbeard Pirates were able to get their hands on Garp, who is on their wanted list, I can see this leading to an event where 2 Emperor class crew will organize a public execution that will force Luffy & Koby's group to go to war with similar to how the Marineford war was set up. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Crocodile & Mihawk use this as a way to punish Buggy for trying to get his way.
However, I also believe that the Genius Jester will find a way to get the last laugh. Because let's not forget that Buggy was in fact the very 1st person to learn about the unusual things involving Teach, which he would eventually tell Shanks about. So in the likely event Shanks won't be around long enough to tell Luffy, then it would only make sense for Buggy to help him on his fellow Emperor's behalf, even if it was never intentional. And since the main topic is on Teach himself, I will now begin the next part of the post which involves more about him.
More information on Blackbeard himself
In one of the recent chapters, when Saturn was talking to Devon & Auger, Blackbeard's "special linage" was mentioned, which made some fans & myself very curious on.
Now I don't know what it really means, but I do know that sooner or later, the full revelation of it will have an important role in the final saga to moment we get more of it. It may even have to do with why he wanted to make Beehive Island a country that is affiliated with the government.
As for how the SH themselves may know about it, my best guess is that they'll learn it from either Marco (who was formally in the same crew as Teach), Shanks (who was scared by him), and of course Buggy (which I have mentioned earlier).
Aokiji's inner conflict
Ever since the day when Aokiji was revealed to be the 10th Titanic Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, I strongly believe that it is more inevitable for Luffy to recruit his final Senior Officer now more than ever! And since he was partly one of the people who captured Pudding, it would make sense for Sanji to be his opponent when the time comes!
However, there are some people who think that Aokiji won't stay loyal to Teach forever, even though we will need more time to see how his character arc plays out.
Law's comeback
Just like what I said with Kid on my Elbaf list, I also believe that Law's time in the story isn't over yet. And some obvious reasons for that are that he still needs to know more about the D initial, as well as wanting to save his crew from the Blackbeard Pirates, which will somehow lead him to reunite with the Strawhats, and also join their alliance in that arc.
Who knows, on the off chance Teach were to meet his end in that arc, while he is still alive, perhaps Law might end up inheriting his Emperor title just as Bepo hoped for in one of the recent recap episodes.
Garp's future fate
Now I can't guarantee whether or not Garp will be saved. But I do believe that what he told Koby & the others about how the young generation's safety is a major priority will have an even bigger role in that arc.
But at the same time, I would also like this to be a decent chance for either Luffy or Garp to have a moment of realization and accept that they may not have been in the right as they once thought, as well as question if the path they chose was a good one.
Anyway, this is everything I have to say, but what do you think? If you have any opinions on this topic, or know something else i may have missed, then please tell me in the comments section below. Thank you!

2024.06.09 23:22 Pazzberry101 Notes from the Frigate Beta Test (04/30/2024): Celestial Armada

Hello everyone! I was given the okay to share the notes and sheets I made to learn about the new race, the Celestial Armada. Yes, I am that kind of dweeb.
What follows is the post I made in the play-test section (only available to founders at the moment (?) to help everyone make sense of the new race as being dropped a new funny race with new funny units is a lot to take in all at once. Since everyone is curious about how they play, and of course, drawing similarities to Protoss from StarCraft, people want to know how they work and how they differ.
I want to emphasize that all of these notes were made during the "Frigate" play-test which took place back in April and lasted until late May. The early access release of the game is going to feature a ton of changes in the numbers, balance adjustments, and of course, units that don't exist yet. The amount of changes between the previous play-test and the one I am sharing now was substantial setting aside fact that they dropped a whole new race
If you want my notes on the other races, let me know. I also made those.
Howdy, call me Paz.
I am the sort of loser who will spend the first five hours of a fresh new close beta making a reference sheet with all of the units stats. Apologies if there are any errors in it, I promised I double checked all the numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if there is an error somewhere in there. I hope it's all presentable and digestible. No idea how long these numbers will stat accurate due to patches. For everyone else, I want to lay down Celestial macro basics because I was a bit confused by all of their funny mechanics, and I wager many more people will be confused by all of their funny mechanics:
I think that about covers it. I don't have a single idea about what popular builds will sprout from these mechanics, I think this faction most of all has the most potential for shenanigans considering all of their econ buildings can uproot and just go somewhere else. Thanks for reading, and I hope the sheet is useful.

2024.06.09 23:12 ME_CPA You Want to Make Money and So Does GameStop: When I Move You Move

You Want to Make Money and So Does GameStop: When I Move You Move
So if you're reading this you were probably kicked in the pants during premarket trading 06/07/2024. Cohen released Q1 earnings early and filed to to issue 75M newly minted shares from the company's treasury. Kitty was taking us to the moon, and the rocket exploded before it exited the atmosphere. So now what? Here's a sober reading of where things stand and where I think Cohen's turnaround is going.
tldr: Cohen is turning GME into a Berkshire Hathaway type company and the share price will rocket to mars if you trust the process.
Take a step back and consider the situation. Shares of a video game pawn shop are the proxy for a battleground on wall street.
Many hedge funds and large whales think the company will fail, and buy puts or take short positions on the stock. Others like you and I think the company's stock is going to go up via a squeeze, or because the fundamentals are rapidly improving under Ryan Cohen's tutelage.
What happened yesterday matters less than what happens tomorrow.
I have a thesis for what Cohen's thinking, and why Friday's moves by GameStop will be good for the stock that you like.
So 75M new shares represents 15% of dilution and raises outstanding shares to 420M (nice). Technically 421M but whatever.
At the end of trading Friday, 279M shares traded. Loud AF volume. Cohen very easily could have completed the 75M share offering selling into that frenzy given that extraordinary liquidity. Including premarket prices, the stock traded between $26-64.
Share activiy 06/07/2024 per yahoo! finance
What this means is:
Racks on Racks
Assuming Ryan Cohen lined up some trades from the line of people that want their hands on shares, we could have sold those 75M shares at a $40/sh average. That means the company just raised a fresh $3 Billion with a B.
Add that to the $2 Billion already in the bank and you got nearly $5 Billion cash and no debt or liabilities.
Assuming Cohen decides to take a nap on that cash pile, the company will generate $250,000,000 Interest Income per year at a 5% rate. THIS IS BIG.
At a minimum this means GameStop will be profitable this year, next year, forever.
Remember back in March 2024, we learned GameStop was profitable for the first time in years?
Source: GME Earnings Release FY 2023
What if we slap $250M of interest income onto the $6.7M of FY 2023 income? We'd have a 2023 net income of $257M vs a net loss in 2022 of $313M. That's a $570M swing in income.
But we are in FY 2024 and we just got Q1 results...and guess what? FY2024 net income is going to crush FY2023, and the media isn't telling you that.
jerk off hand motion
Let's analyze Friday's Q1 earning release (the worst earning report of the year as it follows the holidays).
https://gamestop.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gamestop-discloses-first-quarter-2024-results
We learned: Expenses are shrinking and our Net Loss for the Quarter was $32M compared to $50M the year before. That's a 36% improvement in profitability in a 1 year timespan.
What we should see in the quarters to come is a decrease in expenses as GameStop closes less profitable stores in locations where multiple stores exists. Revenue will decrease yes, but so will expenses, and margins in the remaining stores will grow.
Remember, GameStop was profitable for the year, and with continued cost cuts at retail stores, and with $250M interest income, will make FY 2024 net income of $3-400 Million, or a $1 + Earnings per share.
Cohen is doing the impossible: making GME stores income generators.
So what? I want to shit on my boss's desk on Monday?
Well if you want to make money think like Roaring Kitty and Ryan Cohen. Remember RK is DeepFuckingValue, and he sees value in this play from a fundamentals lens.
Here's what Cohen is doing:
$250M of interest income is cool, but not cool enough. Imagine a quarter or two from now we get a big update from RC and this is what he does with the $5B cash:
example of DeepFuckingValue
A move like this would cause tectonic plates to shift on wall street.
GameStop's cash balance shifting into equities turns the company into a mini Berkshire Hathaway raising the floor on the stock price, eliminating bankruptcy and setting us up to make money on the stonk through capital appreciation.
Say Cohen is as savvy as we think and his investments of GameStop's capital increase 20% and he sells them in a year? 20% on $4 Billion of gain is net income of $800M, $2 EPS. Company now has nearly $6B cash. Rinse, repeat
If you can see my point, Cohen/Kitty see GME as a DEEEEEEP value play.
GameStop can use it's cash pile to leverage it's earnings potential and explode it's market cap. Consider this:
https://preview.redd.it/2i4v8wp50m5d1.png?width=443&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ce021d595a6684083e1ccc19b485febea5a3531
If GameStop can increase it's war chest, our marketcap floor increases. At a $84B evaluation GME shares would be trading at $200 ($800) pre split.
When GameStop makes and raises money, we make and raise money. When I move, you move.
So don't be discouraged about dips. This play is still live, there's value here and I'm invested regardless of any squeeze. This is NVIDIA before it was $1200/share protentional in my opinion.

Moose Maple organized a fake funeral for himself to draw out the Terrorist group that has been going after him.
During it, one of the terrorists decided to go up to the podium and give a speech, claiming he killed him.
Moose then revealed that he was not in fact dead, and they challenged each other to shirtless combat
‎ ‎ ‎ Eventually, Maple knocked him out (with an assist from a Local);
‎ ‎ ‎ Multiple officers on scene joined Moose on kicking the downed perpetrator.
The leader of the organization, Pane, expressed that he knew Maple was faking his death, and promised the police force that the death of one of his goons would be paid in blood.
Moments after, the terrorist sniped Maple, causing further panic.
From the rooftops, the enemy took out a couple more officers.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Nolan gets sniped.
On the garage of the building, an armored car was parked, thought to be the terrorist's vehicle.
‎ ‎ ‎ As officers were searching it, it started beeping, and it eventually exploded
‎ ‎ ‎ Minutes later, a second explosion.
An RC car with an explosive, controlled by Pane, arrived at Lana's location
‎ ‎ ‎ With precision, Officer Grey managed to defuse it
Officers chased the RC car until it exploded, fortunately not harming any officers.
Pane managed to get away in a submarine.
Six officers were downed in this scene, multiple are in the ICU.

2024.06.09 22:09 Significant_Oil_8278 AITAH for kicking family out of my wedding?

I’m going to try on my wedding dress today and I was ready to do it alone but my man of honor stepped up and saved the day. Brought up ALL the feefees.
My wedding is exactly what I dreamed of when it comes to the most important part - he is truly the man of my dreams (maybe even better bc I didn’t even imagine anyone this awesome). The location is lovely, our money is going to an arts centenational park and that’s very “us.” It’s minimalistic and limited waste and that makes us happy. It’s only 50 of our closest people…
Or who I thought were our closest people? This is where I’ve realized the real difficulty of the wedding process has begun. I’m one of 8 kids, it was rough (big understatement) growing up and most of my siblings don’t talk to my mom. My oldest brother got married two years ago and everybody put on a brave face and had a great time despite the anxiety that comes along with interacting with my mom.
I gave my (formerly abusive) mom a chance to be a part and she completely crumbled under the pressure. Her behavior regressed to her worst days circling her own drain with alcoholism and failure to accept a BPD diagnosis. She made the first several months of planning so stressful and was such a bully that my autoimmune disorder was flaring like nuts. I had to ask her not to be a part.
I kind of anticipated that even though I was hoping for the best case scenario. Of course we were going to butt heads bc of the generational gap but she got into master manipulator mode and it began negatively effecting everyone else involved too - that was finally enough to not involve her but I don’t have regrets in trying.
What I did not expect was for two of my siblings (who tbh I have also felt bullied by much of our upbringing together) to ghost me for the two years of planning and let me know via other siblings that they won’t be coming.
I love boundaries, I respect boundaries - I wish I could understand why they couldn’t come to me and try to work something out to where we could celebrate together (even though it made me nervous bc they have hefty center of attention energy) in an experience where they feel happy and safe and I could and would do everything to set them up for success but I feel like I wasn’t even given a chance. But my older brother was?
We’ve all lived apart for quite some time now so we aren’t as close as we used to be. At first I was QUIETLY a little sad for my brother’s wedding I wasn’t specially involved at all other than to be a guest but I live on the other side of the country, learned later it was the only way he could convince my brother to come was to make him the best man, never took it personally and told my brother I want a job so I’ll be the self designated party starter! When he was ready, I’d get everybody dancing and it was one of my favorite nights of all time! We had an amazing time - the difficult best man brother did get in my face and yell once but I did a private cry and moved on super fast; everybody says he doesn’t do well under pressure.
My dad (I’m his youngest) has said he dreamed of our first dance since I was born but when I came to visit for a week he hid in his room the majority of the time and we hung out for a total of 15 mins. Felt like he didn’t want to get to know my husband who was there with me and that he didn’t actually care to be a part. I need a plan so I’m inclined not to do a fathedaughter dance. He’s always acted like more of a roommate but he’s lways mentioned this stupid dance! Neither of my older sisters are married.
It feels like everyone in my family is making excuses for everybody else not being in a place in their life to attend and that makes me sad. I haven’t had much support that this could be a little disappointing, missing out on the excitement of celebrating with your family whether you anticipate it or not, outside of my fiancé, MOH, and “man of honor.” Most of my convos with my other family about the wedding have become about the people who aren’t coming.
Maybe I’m misinterpreting the whole make your wedding day about you? AITAH for not inviting my mom, brother and sister bc I am scared they’ll bully me after rejecting me for the past few years?

2024.06.09 22:00 IClient511407 How do I ensure Drive mapping(s) are available to a service set to run as “Local System Account”

Hello:
I’ve got an app that only seems to like its work files to use a Drive:\Path location (e.g. X:\App\Datafiles) rather than an UNC (\server\Share\DataFiles). The app needs a windows service yet the setup program only gave options for “Local System Account” or “Network Service Account”.
Given these limitations, how to ensure that “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM” (the account that is behind the “Local System Account” option in the Windows service MMC) always has the drives necessary to allow this app’s service to access its files?
I looked into it and don’t like what I see: * a batch file as a scheduled task set to “at system startup” calling psexec to map it. I don’t like this option due to not being able to control with 100% accuracy that the batch file will run before the services for this app start up (thus causing the system to fail the service startup) plus it needs an external tool and is kind of a hack job as it leaves a (false) “Disconnected Network Drive” visible to everyone who logs in at that server (admittedly only myself and a select few other people) * choose to run the service with a specified local account but then need to muck about with NTFS and share permissions on a directory by directory basis (it expects certain directories/files full control, while others read/write, while others with various permissions if using anything other than local system) * upgrade and get on with it. This is not a valid choice due to: (1) I am supporting a customer who’s line of business has centralized on this thing as THE way to handle email and calendaring, (2) “old timers” gonna be “old timers” and resist change with “if it ain’t broke… why fix it? Along with justifying not moving to a newer generation of this messaging system that still exists by citing things like “we’ve sunk the last x (10+) years of our data (email, calendaring, documents) into this system, migration up to a later version would be too costly financially, interfere with day to day business operations, and we’ve already gotten custom development work to extend this messaging system for our organization’s needs beyond accepted industry standards”, (3) it plays well with their instant messaging and presence system for both inter-site and intra-site use (IM Made by same vendor) and custom integration with their PBX and paging system, (4) I don’t have the cash to upgrade my lab to a newer version nor the time to take additional training on upgraded versions, plus I got lucky getting their exact version in a lot of assorted old software on eBay.

2024.06.09 21:28 tommyswamp Forgot 1099 forms on taxes (very small $$ amounts)

Hello all.
I am 22 years old and thus still getting used to all the tax forms and rules. I realized recently that over the past few years, I have bought and sold small amounts of stocks through cashapp that I failed to report. I was able to locate the 1099 forms on the app, and the most profit I made from these stocks was $10 in a year. I attempted to amend this year’s return but was unable to find the correct 1099 form for cashapp in turbotax. I figured with such a small amount I would still be in the same tax bracket, but I want to be sure this won’t screw me over in the future. It was an honest mistake that I would not mind paying for, I just worry about any extra penalties. If anyone has any advice let me know.
Thank you!
