Cool ways to draw

A little less than a year ago I replaced the water pump and thermostat on my mothers trax that went fine I topped it off and she was good for awhile and then over the next few months I continued to top it off because the reservoir kept almost running empty. She would probably go about a month or so in between top offs so I didn’t think much of it thought maybe there was air in the cooling system or something. But as of the last month or so I’ve been adding a ton of coolant way more than I should have to and then last night she stopped by my house the water outlet was cracked and spraying coolant.
My question is, is this a bad head gasket? Could the leak have been here this whole time and burning off on the exhaust very slowly? Or could the water pump have failed again pretty sure I replaced with Duralast. I’m pretty stuck there’s no milky oil and after doing the pump a year ago I checked for a bad gasket with the autozone rent a tool kit and it gave no indication of a bad head gasket any tips or info would be great thank you

I desperately want to like this game. It’s such a cool concept, and I’ve officially played enough that I can’t get a refund. So it can’t be all bad. This is more of a PSA for people who may feel like me or feel like they’re alone in their confusion. You are not.
Act 1 is a great deal of fun. It’s challenging and rewarding to build yourself up from nothing. The first time Tristan stalks you in the woods you’re helpless. Then you drink some of that delicious V-Blood, get you some sip, grind and get better gear, learn about blood types, build a goddamn castle, etcetera and so forth and so on. Awesome.
But even here there’s a little bit of confusion starting to creep in at the edges of your brain. “Construct a Vampire Waygate” the quest says. So you think to yourself “Oh wow. That’ll be mad helpful. I’m so stoked to do this. Oh wait…I can’t use it to transport even a single thing that would be useful to transport. Never mind. I’ll just relegate this objectively cool looking structure to the corner of my plot, never to be used again. And you think to yourself “Why? Why would they do that? Why would someone make the choice to give me a tantalizing option to increase efficiency and then elect, instead, to deliberately waste my time doing an admittedly fuzzy and four legged but still horrendously slow jog back across the map? I don’t know. Why make the camera function in such a way as to make it incredibly dangerous to rotate the thing in combat? Not sure. Why do I have to press ‘F’ 39 times to pick up a health orb which could save my life but only once to pick up some stone dust I don’t need? Beats me.
Enter Act 2 and this game will make you start smoking again. The cool gimmicks the Act 1 bosses have turn in to insurmountable handicaps for your opponent. Think you understand Vincent’s attack pattern? Too bad, now he’s ice skating forward while he does his frost barrage. The steady progress grinds to a halt as you realize that in order to beat this guy you might need better gear, but you can’t get it. Know why? Because the research apparatus needed to even read the fucking book you’ve found is locked behind an even tougher carrier. Want to ride a horse? Not a great idea, they all (yes I have one with decent stats. I spent a long time looking for it) handle like a three legged rhinoceros and will accomplish nothing but getting you set on fire and shot as you try to ride literally anywhere, never mind the fact that they for some reason employ an entirely new method of movement mechanically. Do you need reinforced planks to complete a quest from act 1? Fuck you. Vincent again.
The game feels less and less like a challenge and more and more like a giant middle finger as it goes on, and it’s simply not designed well enough to pull it off.

Where the fuck do I even start with this game?
The countless amount of weird avatars, trashtalking, harassment and immature kids who act like they're the boss of the instance thinking they can just say "Shut the fuck up" or "No one cares", or even the e-gangsters that throw racial slurs at you for just trying to speak. I swear that everytime I'm on VRChat I either have a cool 1 hour good talk and game with some decent people who don't shoo me away, or get myself butthurt and sad because I just wanted to join the conversation or just chill at a mirror.
I am a mature 13 year old INFP kid, who couldn't even get a Quest 2 or 3 for his birthday 6 days ago.
Most of the time I'm in VRChat, I'm just there to play billiards (solo) in Winter Company or fuck around with my avatars, but I get a bit too curious and join either McDonalds or Prison Escape, then I feel like I'm the odd one out of the Vive/Quest/FBT users. Everytime I try to speak, I'm just said to "shut the fuck up".
I'm a person too, regardless of my age. I'm not some NPC in a open-world game that you can fuck around or imaginarily trashtalk to. I'm always on the verge of crying after leaving a instance of black cat or going back to my homeworld after being kicked of my age.
This game honestly makes me want to kill myself in various ways, and not be able to recover from any of my slashed wrists, broken neck, or broken bones.
Please be considerate to children and teens who just want to chill, relax and make conversation with adults. I know that most of the 12 - 15 y/o VRChat players are frowned upon because of how annoying they can get, but sometimes you can meet nice kids that just want to talk.

What Ideas do you guys have for board themes for maybe the next game.
Toy Dream is one of my favorite boards of all time and I love the aesthetic, so my Idea was a board called Toy Town and it would be very similar to Ribbon Road from Mario Kart as it takes place in a bedroom but there would be lots of different toys all around and covering the board.
I also love the idea of a board where the main feature is a waterfall and the board is split between a top and bottom section with different events and ways to swap between the sections. It would cool if you could go behind the waterfall aswell. The overall area could be inside a jungle.
I would love your ideas on what cool themes they could do.

I (21F) have been close friends with my friend (20F) for almost seven years now. She’s a really cool and fun person to be around, really kind and all that. The only thing not so great about her is that she is pretty flaky. When we were in high school things were different, but now that she’s living at a college a couple hours away we barely talk. It’s all good, when she comes home to visit it feels like no time has passed. It was hard to accept at first that our relationship was changing but I feel like I’m over that now.
This summer she decided to come home to work and get more money for the next year. She lives a couple minutes away from my house. She invited me out to play tennis with her which is a sport we played together in high school. While we were playing we kept talking about how much fun it was, how much we missed it, how we should get back into it twice a week even. We joked around a lot about how we were goi to get so good this summer and just grind. We met up a couple more times and then on a Friday planned to meet the next Monday.
Then she ghosts me. It’s on character (she did this in high school too) but somehow I don’t see it coming. The Monday comes and she ignores our texts. She flakes on a beach plan we’d already made. It took me a few days to figure out what was happening, so I’d already sent a few texts to her asking where she was. This was about a week ago.
Here comes when I think I screwed up. I went on a run this morning and saw her walking with her brother. We exchanged greetings, and she said: “Hey, I’ll text you about tennis soon!”
Then I said, in a completely joking tone: “yeah you should! Instead of just ignoring my texts!” I felt like I was making an awkward situation less awkward by putting it out in the open, but once we went our separate ways I started having doubts. My bf thinks I’m the AH and I was being super passive aggressive. The more I think about it the worse I feel. AITA?

Into plants animals the outdoors, love cats, like to draw talk about shows or the world, tell me abt your hot takes or whatever you feel. Want some cool new friends

Coming back for my second play through, did my first one when the game released originally on my base PS4. Somehow, some way, it chugged along minimal bugs and I absolutely enjoyed it.
Now I’m on PS5 and want another go. Any advice on some fun builds? I see clips of people doing cool shit with the katanas and I’m all for that! Also open to any other builds you guys are having fun with.

Is there any way to change the settings of online league matches, so you can play at least extra time? I know draws are a big part of the actual game, but damn sometimes draws can be even more frustrating than losing.

I’m 20 close to 21 and I love cats people compare my actions to a cat and I have three beautiful orange kitties. My hair is multicolor in the sun orange black brown and I’ve joked that I’m a calico in a human body. I’ve been secretly into furry fandoms since I was 12 and as an adult my furry obsession has skyrocketed. I’ve imaged my firsona as a goth calico with anime style eyes( I’m new to furry terms) I’ve seen fur suits that are exactly what I like. I’m in no way into cats just a crazy cat momma. My family is kinda okay with furries but my little sister says they are cringe and my husband jokes when I bring up furry stuff. I’d love to build my fur sona or even draw it but don’t know where to start. I don’t know if this is just a hyperfixation or I’m a furry. I’m just afraid that since me and my husband have a relationship where he calls me kitten and it’s bdsm related I’m afraid people will accuse me of being a weird furry. I just want to essentially cosplay as a cat because I have three orange kitties of my own and I always joke I’m there bio momma. My fur sona in my head is just my piercings and hair style on a cute calico cat with like my body showing so just head hands feet and tail( I have a medical condition where I over heat quickly) would it be weird if my fur sona has a collar like a cat? Nothing sexual just a collar that says my fur sonas name. ( Alize the calico) my preferd name irl as my fursona name. I hope I explained this correctly.

Yo! First I want to say thank you for taking the time to read my post. I’m still searching for a few more people to talk to regularly, so I thought I’d try another shot to find some decent people.
Anyways about me:
So a little bit about me. Im 25 M and I live in the US. I’m pretty chill and easy going for the most part. I love joking around a lot, so don’t take me seriously most times haha 😅. I like to think that I’m a good listener, or at least i try my best to be. I’m pretty decent at holding conversations too, I can talk about a wide variety of stuff, and I’m not opposed to even talking about more difficult topics, as long as it is civil. I’m go with the flow pretty much, and the energy I get from you I’ll give back in return.
I’m introverted and a homebody, my ideal way of relaxing is wrapped up in a blanket watching a good Netflix series 😌, or just kicking back with some friends playing some games.
I spend a lot of my free time gaming lately. I mostly play Apex whenever I game but I also own some other games too. I have both a PlayStation and a Switch and I’m open to suggestions if you ever had another game you wanted to try playing. Feel free to ask me what games I own btw.
I enjoy listening to music. I listen to a little bit of everything. I like watching tv shows and movies on Netflix, and I’m a huge anime fan! I have more nerdy hobbies overall 😅 and I really enjoy science related topics, i like learning in general tbh. I enjoy playing card and board games, domino’s, ect, and I’m semi decent in chess too. I was learning to speak French at one point but consistency is kinda my arch enemy in well….everything 💀. I like reading every now and then, and I love a good story. I love memes and funny/interesting videos, so definitely feel free to share memes whenever you find them, and I definitely will do the same.
Long term wise, I prefer to keep talking on discord after talking on Reddit for a bit. I also would like it if in the long term you’re comfortable with voice chats. I’m cool with just chatting, but long term it would be better if we could call every now and then. Also, it would be good if we could do virtual hangouts from time to time. Maybe play some games, vibe out to some music, watch some shows/movies/anime together. I’m open to suggestions as well, so if you ever had something you wanted to plan then I’m open to trying new stuff.
Hopefully something in my post appealed to you. If it did, don’t be shy, even if we don’t have the same hobbies it would still be nice to have more consistent friends to talk to. I can hold pretty decent convos, and can talk about a variety of stuff. So don’t be shy, feel free to say Hi! 😁👋

I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet, since there are enough details in this story to bore almost anyone not directly involved.
In December of 2023, I had a reputable company come out to install a brand new mini split heating/cooling system in my home. I paid in full, in cash upon completion of the installation.
The system includes four indoor units, heating/cooling four different rooms of my home. I live in the desert Southwest, so I only turned the system on for heat during a few cold nights at the height of winter. At that point, everything seemed to work alright. In mid-April, I turned the a/c on for the first time. Immediately I could tell that something wasn't right. The system blew room-temperature air for a short period of time before displaying an error code on each of the indoor units. I called the company and just over a week later a technician came out to investigate the problem.
Once again, I'm going to skip over a lot of details here. Suffice it to say that this company has sent technicians out about six times over the past month. What has been achieved thus far is that two of the four indoor units blow cold air, but if I try to turn the other two on, they work for a short period (maybe twenty minutes to an hour) before the whole system shuts down and displays an error code. Over the past few days, one of the two "functioning" units has also begun to leak large quantities of water--like over a pint at a time if I had to estimate. It's happened three times in about four days. That unit is now turned off, so I currently have one functioning mini split unit out of the four that I paid to have installed as daytime temperatures in my area are approach 100 degrees.
Furthermore, this series of events has been punctuated by some truly bad customer service. I've been told multiple times to expect calls back that have never come. A technician has missed an appointment; on another occasion two technicians came out at the same time, confused as to why the other was there. One morning a technician arrived unannounced shortly after 7 AM and began stomping around on the roof, scaring my toddler awake. This is all to say that, after over a month of this process with no end in sight, I'm beginning to lose patience and faith in this company to repair this HVAC system.
Recently I've begun documenting everything in writing and with time-stamped photos and videos, which I've been sending directly to the owner of the company via email. I really hope it doesn't come to this, but I'm beginning to consider some sort of legal action against this company. I paid in full (nearly $10,000) for an HVAC system that doesn't work, and I feel at this point that I've given the company ample opportunity to remedy the situation.
I guess what I'm asking is, am I responding in a reasonable way? And at what point would you escalate this sort of situation with a lawyer, in small claims court, etc.? If anyone has ever experienced a similar situation, I'd love to hear your story. Thanks for any guidance or advice.

Hello, my name is Ash, I'm 26 from the UK. Uh, I'm trans so let's get that outta the way, I'm looking for actual friends, no one under 18 please (No offense, I may be young but at heart I am a very, very old man.) if you are an artist that'd be great, if you like bunnies, even better! It'd be cool to find someone to learn art with who is pro-active and will mutually strive to get better with whatever goal you have, I'm having a very difficult time right now and just kind of want to better my life, lose weight, get better at art and achieve something with my life.
My art kinda sucks so it'd be cool if I could find someone who is open with their criticism and who is patient with someone who has a learning disability. I am absolutely not interested in romantic relationships, I'm married to my work until I one day get thanos snapped out of the universe.
ETA: Thought I'd add this won't be a one way street, I would like to help you too and have access to just a ton of resource material and a lot of availability if you need somethin'!

My boyfriend met this woman at his job last year and they worked together for a few months before she quit. They quickly bonded because her and I are from the same country. She felt very comfortable to tell him about her dating life and her personal life. The friendship was very platonic and they would text here and there but it never went further than that. After she quit, they never really spoke again.
A couple months later she reaches out to my boyfriend and sets up a double date with us + her new boyfriend. We had a pretty great time with them and I felt like they were a really cool couple. We’ve hung out with them a few times after and have even been in larger group settings with them where they got to hang out with our other friends.
I never really felt like I could get close to her past a certain level just yet and just kind of categorized her as someone that I could hang with only on a group setting. Maybe also because I hadn’t gotten to know her well just yet and I only got to hang out with her twice outside of a group. But my boyfriend now frequently talks to her boyfriend and they have gotten really close outside of our group chat.
But there were a few red flags that occurred along the way: I notice she never compliments me or other women, one time she INSISTED on crashing on a date after my boyfriend had explained to her that this was quality time for us because our new work schedules doesn’t allow us to go on dates as much, she talks about herself…A LOT. Like the times I’ve hung out with her it was all about her. Although I did feel like I got to share my side a bit the second time, I still felt so drained after the interaction. One of those times we were out to lunch with another girl and after that girl was talking about how she was so worried that she wasn’t getting hired after her layoff and her numerous interviews, new friend proceeded to talk about herself and how perfect her new job that she just got hired will be. I thought that was so inconsiderate and tone deaf. She’s also extremely insecure and always needs opinions about her relationship issues. I feel like she doesn’t really take the effort to get to know me. I just ruled those out at first as her maybe just truly being lonely because she has no other friends and was really grateful that I was hearing her out. I also try to understand that she has EXTREME anxiety and overthinking.
But then, her boyfriend goes out of the country for work. She gets extremely depressed and lonely so she messages my boyfriend asking if we can see her. That weekend we already had plans so we set something up for another date. He then reposts that night a picture of him and his buddy as a GUYS night. She sent a passive aggressive joke about the picture and my boyfriend told her to not be that way. She then expressed that she’s annoyed that he didn’t invite her knowing how she’s so lonely and depressed that her man isn’t here and feels like the only way she’d be invited is because of her boyfriend. My boyfriend responded by telling her that he was with the guys and it would be strange for him to invite her especially because I am not there. She then proceeded to send him a bunch of texts questioning who it would be strange for. He ignores all of the following texts and calls me to tell me what happened. What I don’t like is that she then texts me and involves me by asking me if I would have an issue with him hanging out with her in the same group setting without me 🤦🏻‍♀️ it was a series of anxious texting and me trying to reassure her that there isn’t a preference between her and her boyfriend. She also told me that she really liked having my boyfriend as a friend when they were working together because he helped her through her heartbreak with her last guy (an emotional affair with a committed man btw—-I gave her the benefit of the doubt at first and ran with my own narrative that he was manipulative because it was semi true but she also admits that part of it was her fault). I just really did not like the dramatics and have really bad experiences of old controlling friends being this way with me. I felt like she feels entitled to my boyfriend’s time and him because she was “friends with him first”.
This situation gave me so much anxiety because for me it was like “here we go again, another damsel in distress that needs my boyfriend”. While I do appreciate my boyfriend for setting boundaries and being understanding what is respectful and what is not, we have grown A LOT from our past. In the past, like three years ago, I always felt like I had to compete for my boyfriend’s attention with his other females friends because he used to prioritize his friends’ feelings over mine and was always running to the rescue of other people. He completely changed when he realized he was losing me and now fully understands where I’m coming from and was more than willingly to set boundaries.
He thinks we should still hang out with her because he doesn’t want to lose the friendship with the boyfriend and he wants to establish boundaries in person.
I just see why she doesn’t have any girlfriends and I really don’t like that she just assumes that my boyfriend should be there for her. Self absorbed on top of that. Am I looking too far into this all and is it really my own insecurities from the past coming back?
TLDR: boyfriend’s ex coworker and her boyfriend have been hanging out with my boyfriend and I. My boyfriend has gotten much closer to her boyfriend. I’m very hestitant of her because she has some self absorbed characteristics and over talks for hours. I feel like she hasn’t tried to get to know me at all. But she has extreme anxiety and insecurities. She got annoyed with my boyfriend because he didn’t invite her while he was out with other friends and she was home alone because her boyfriend is away. She kind of got me involved in that situation. We have set plans with her but the dramatics really turned me off. My boyfriend thinks we should go because he wants to continue being on great terms with her boyfriend and he feels the need to establish boundaries with her once and for all in person. Am I just being really hard on her because of my past insecurities and she just has bad anxiety?

Ideally in one light that isn't so large I have to carry it in a jacket pocket, I want the anderuil UI, 2-way clip for hat or pocket if it's straight but would prefer a right-angle I think, magnetic base, dual-channel or beam characteristics offering both. Aux lights would be cool for night vision. I like the idea of having a long run time and max output high enough to singe your eyebrows but really I just need it powerful enough to see what's coming in time enough to react to it while going no faster than about 20mph on the bike which Siri says is about 30ft/sec. So, 300ft of throw would give me plenty of time not to break bones (like I have in the past). A runtime of about 4 hours at a level that offers that level of throw. Not sure about battery but ideally around the 4 inch mark overall length of light. Not too particular about the charging aspect. I had a Zebralight a long time ago and that was cool until a corroded battery ruined it but having to keep the headband on me kinda sucked. I wasn't biking back then but don't recall it having a lot of throw. I found myself using the clip more frequently than the band just to keep EDC more convenient. Want something that can fit well into my pocket with the other things in my EDC kit but still has as much functionality that you can pack into something that size. After looking around, I feel like it'll probably need to be 2 lights to cover all the features I want but figured I'd float in by the Round Table first. Appreciate it.

Considering that the next arc is going to be an idol arc where they are going to find Sadako: negator of Unchaste (according to the leaks) there is most likely a chance that there is going to be a lot of fireworks and food stands which would make a cool way to bring both UMAs in for a double UMA battle and there are no rules saying you can't do multiple quests at the same time, so this is basically 3 birds with 1 stones. Plus considering that both Sadako and Enjin were together during the end of Ragnarok, this will give the chance see more of Enjin and Sadako relationship and expand upon their characters and the first time we see both of them in real combat.

Let me begin by saying that I went into this book apprehensive but hopeful, having seen it with nought but two 3-star ratings. I assumed it had spelling/grammar flaws and was fully prepared to power through them.
However, that is not what I found.
For you see, this wasn’t a book. Sure, it was available for purchase on the Amazon store, but do not let that deceive you. This book is the mad scribblings of a wattpad fanfic writer brought onto the big stage.
Am I saying wattpad just to bash on those users? No. I say wattpad because the author advertised their wattpad account in the first chapter.
Now, I can look past an advertisement. Life these days is filled with them. But it comes in conjunction with other major flaws. Firstly, the chapters are short. We’re talking 2-4 pages a chapter, and every chapter opens with an image, and ends with one too. These images are frequently the same, and serve no real purpose in the story.
Then, we have the author’s notes that very clearly came straight from wattpad, asking the reader to comment their thoughts on xyz. These could’ve been edited out, and the story would’ve been better for it.
With the more meta elements out of the way, let’s talk story.
good gods the story is bad.
The premise is interesting, a MC is the villainess in a novel whose fate is death, and she remembers her past life as someone who read the novel. (Mind you, this is extremely similar to one of the most popular posts on cyoa, the one about being an otome villainess. But hey let’s not judge, maybe it’s coincidence that the story is extremely similar to the exact choices you can make in the cyoa)
Anyways, I’m sure many of you have encountered a story where—for lack of a better descriptor—things just happen. No real struggle or sequence of events other than the plot being dragged along by the author. People meet MC and just like her. The love interests for the novel’s heroine just want her. She’s the top academic student which makes the crown prince (who in the novel is the one who got that title) desire her. Hell, it’s so obvious that the author wants you to think she’s badass. Why do I say that? Well, in one of the chapter by chapter author’s notes, they say word-for-word, “isn’t our main character badass?” She’s frequently described as both the most beautiful ephemeral creature in the room, but surprise surprise she’s actually emotionless and a master manipulator and so god’s damn cool just like her already.
This is a fanfiction poorly masquerading as a novel, and I thoroughly warn against wasting your time reading it.

Hi all!
I'm using a Samsung tab s9 ultra, which has a usb-c 3.0 port. I have attached a male usb-c to female usb-a adapter so I can connect a wireless mouse dongle to it. It seems to be working, but I wondered if because of the different protocols different usb-types use to provide or pull power to the source, the amount of power pulled to the dongle would be different than intended. To better put it: is is possible to damage the usb a dongle by using the adapter on my tablet, as a result of incorrect power draw from the dongle or incorrect power push from the tablet? Besides, the tablet says 'charging usb device', which I believe is just the dongle pulling current to function (can't disable this either).
I've read some things but I am not sure that I understand it correctly. I'm assuming it is safe to use the dongle this way, but I wanted to be sure because the mouse was expensive and the dongle got a bit warm haha!
Thanks!

Let's explain the situation from the beginning. We are a group of 6 friends and little by little our friendship has deteriorated. I sent him a WhatsApp explaining that I would not take any more trips with him until his attitude changed. Now my friends are telling me to forgive him since we have a trip for the summer.
When we were 17 we always met up to get drunk and smoke. But years have passed and I'm turning 21. And I'm getting tired of this environment.
I think the turning point was when I bought my car on my own (when I was just 19 years old), I was working for months and once I bought it it was wonderful, everyone was super excited until the problems started to occur. Many responsibilities fell on me, organizing plans, taking home, always doing the shopping.
I mainly had a problem with a friend, let's call him House. House was always my closest friend and I knew him from school, in high school we hung out occasionally but when we created the group we became even closer.
We met every day and it was very cool, but I already realized that he sometimes had anger problems (once he broke the neighbor's air conditioning because they stood him up) as well as a childish attitude of always being right.
A few days before I quit a job that was exploitative and I was having a hard time, I promised House that I would pick him up and take him to a nightclub (after work) that is 4 km from his house (5 km from mine). . But I quit so I was happy to be able to drink and have a good time, until he reminded me of the "promise". By that time he had already resigned 1 week ago and we already bought the tickets 2 weeks ago. He didn't say anything to me until we were at the party and he made a passive-aggressive comment at me. I feel bad and I manipulate the rest so that they say that I had to keep my promise... Well, it's not that big of a deal but it was a wake-up call for me.
I had some friction with him, such as him falsely accusing me that he was stealing gas money from him after a trip for wanting to "overcharge him", something totally false. Or one time he got drunk and was on the beach on my birthday yelling at me and another friend to give him the bottle we were all drinking, we refused because he was 3 steps away and if he had wanted to be with us he could, Then he became aggressive and confronted me a few centimeters away, I pushed him and threatened to hit me. Afterwards we "reconciled" but I already mistrusted in a certain way because of what he had shown me.
His parents divorce, he starts drinking every day, he is dissatisfied with the studies he chose himself, no one forced him and he chose a higher degree with no way out because he was funny in front of others. He hasn't gotten his driver's license, he's not progressing in life, and so the months go by.
In my town there is a party and it is like the party that the entire region comes, including people, we are talking about tens of thousands of young people partying, well House meets us but informs us that first he should have a few beers with his friends, proceed not to be separated from them all day. The worst thing was that every time we told him to do something he followed them from one place to another like a dog, until I understood what was happening, he was with them all the time because they were taking cocaine. That disgusted me a lot since he knows that I don't like that and that if he had stayed with those friends of his I wouldn't have cared, but he had stayed with us.
A week later he organized a plan, as I always do, to go have a barbecue in the mountains, a beautiful place where House tells me that he has no money, I invite him to eat with another friend. When we arrive I see that we have forgotten the meat, so I have to call my aunt who lives 20 minutes away to go get it. I did the shopping alone, in the end I went down alone with my aunt, I bought them beer since House and another stayed upstairs drinking. When I arrive they criticize the meat I bought, I forgot to buy bread, and they criticize the coals I bought since they were very "small", in the end we cooked everything even on meat.
After 2 weeks I plan to go fishing, and that's when House openly tells me that the barbecue was "fucking shit", which seemed like very strong words to me. Mainly when they come from a person who has never driven to take me (he doesn't have a license...), I don't buy the meat, I don't cook and worse still he didn't even thank me for having invited him to eat, he has pay from his parents, they are officials. My parents are immigrants and I have earned my money by working. After that he reproaches me saying that since I am studying and he is "working", he is practicing sports. HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A FULL TIME!! Which is my obligation since I am freer than him, he doesn't know that lately I have been studying 9 hours a day, super stressed and bad. After that discussion, I didn't speak to him the entire trip back.
I don't want to see him, it's as if he had clicked on me * and no matter how much forgiveness he asks me and they tell me that "it was just a few words", it doesn't seem that way to me.
What do you think is pride or should I forgive him for the good of the group?

"Don't clump infantry"
"When dealing with X, you should Y"
"Try not to X"
Stuff like that.
With how long people have been playing CoH 2, and me getting my friends into the game, I'd love to hear what you guys would consider to be great, general knowledge things people should know about.
Anyway, just figured it'd be a cool discussion, and way for other fans to give insight to those that don't want to be overwhelmed by all the guides out there.

The Sonic franchise had a large gallery of villains, both the original saga and the Archie Comics and IDW comics, there are many to choose from to adapt them in the movies or series of the Sonic cinematographic universe.
Let's talk about what villains I could or would like to see in the future of SCU
One of my favorite things about the Archie and Idw comics is their excellent variety of villains outside of Eggman.
in Archie: we have warlords, wizards, dark gods, alternate universe doppelgangers, aliens, a corporate mastermind, and then some.
IDW: we have two traumatized cyborgs and a group of criminals
Scourge :I love because, well, could anyone resist taking such an inherently good character, and turning him evil? I love the dynamic he and Sonic shared, being able to get into each other's heads, but ultimately staying themselves. It is true that it would be super repetitive to have a hedgehog that is an evil counterpart to Sonic, let's go (let's have Shadow) of course it can make Scourge see that unlike Sonic, he was not afraid, even so he used his powers to obtain power and control in his planet it would be perfect to see more hedgehogs than just being limited to sonic, amy, shaodw and silver
dr Finitevus :I always loved him; he wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, although he had unique abilities and intelligence. It was his knowledge of the world that allowed him to pit the world against the heroes or the heroes against each other. When he didn't need to be somewhere, he just wasn't there. He fought proxy wars by recruiting other characters to, knowingly or unknowingly, carry out his orders. It was a refreshing change of pace from Sonic's usual bad boy.
It will be an excellent way to get more out of the echidna lore, what a bad taste the knuckles spinoff left in our mouths, this tribute already deserves to adapt its entire arc in the comics to the SCU since it would be great to see more echidnas and give it a try. the treatment you deserve
Enerjak: a character full of energy and creativity with a cool and creative design, I always liked this character and he generated some pretty good plots and conflicts. It would be another option along with finitrevus to be a personal threat to Knuckles and the others on how Knuckles should confront one of his species and prevent him from following the steps of going astray.
Mammoth Mogul:I like his powers, his suit and his elegant way of speaking. But I don't think he has much personality. and he is conceited, he keeps escaping from justice and causes problems for Sonic, a mafia lord would be perfect in a detective plot either with the chaotix or with sonic it is also related to the chaos emerald of course they could change this that He looks for them because they are a legend
metal sonic :Its design needs no explanation.When he is in control, he can be as smart as Eggman and as terrifying as one of Sonic's god-level villains.
His rivalry with Sonic has a lot of depth. Thematically they are natural rivals of the franchise, nature versus machine, but also in terms of characters, one is a free soul and the other is in a prison of multiple things.
Metal has very personal problems derived from his rivalry with Sonic. His identity is built around the idea that he is the best version of Sonic, he is the real Sonic, but every loss shows him otherwise and all he can do is face it and try to say that Sonic is the copy and Metal is the real one. . But no matter how strong he is, how fast he is, even if those traits are more than what Sonic is capable of, he loses. That's the tragedy of him, he's in a cycle of not accepting reality and he's punished for it and so far we've gotten great ways to show that character. We got healthy parts of his character, scary parts, interesting parts and sad parts.And the good thing is that, unlike other rivals, he is a villain, not an antihero or a redeemed character, a villain who can be explored without being the good guy.He's also had some amazing boss fights over the years.This would be a perfect character to take on Eggman's legacy and use it for your own benefit.
Dr. Starline: Amazing villain that you love to hate, he played his role to perfection and left lasting effects long after his death in the form of the equally good Surge and Kit. What I like most is that he could have easily been like everyone the other sidekicks and try to one-up Eggman, but instead he still idolized him and was ultimately used to cement how good Eggman is as a villain.
He would be another perfect candidate to take Eggman's place and he is a thousand times better than Agent Stone or any generic Eggman assistant who only exists to provide a moment of comedy that is not funny.
The metarex and the dark oak (sonic x)
I think the writers did a great job creating a new arc for sonic x
It's a fun sci-fi take on Sonic that gives us a galaxy-spanning adventure. You still have individual episodes that are reminiscent of your weekly episodes of Star Trek or whatever that have their own independent stories on individual planets, but also the overall story of the season is still moving forward. I feel like this is the best way to do episodic television.
I love the idea that we have a planet full of animals, but in Sonic's universe there are also plants.
The plot twist of Metarex being formerly plant people (Seedrians, if I remember correctly) turns them from this vague threat into a completely personal threat, as we've had plenty of time up to that point to see Cosmo become part of the Team Sonic. .
It's always good to have that underlying message that plants and animals can get along despite their differences. In today's world, many people have yet to discover the real-life equivalent.
Plus, you have the entire Tails and Cosmo arc and the culmination at the end. Don't lie, you always cry too!
prefect official as the final boss of the sonic franchise
Merlina :Merlina doesn't understand that death is a natural part of life, which is why she is afraid of it. This is a real fear called thanatophobia, but it is a fairly extreme case. Anyway, after defeating her, Sonic consoles her by telling her to make life worth living with the time she has, thus resolving her internal conflict and also ending her character arc. This type of deep writing is something that Sonic Adventure to Black Knight excel at.
Well, that was all, write in the comments which villain from the Sonic franchise you would like to see adapted into SCU in the future. Leave your opinions in the comments. I would love to read them.
