2024.05.15 11:42 doofthefloof Vreau sa organizez un grup de D&D. Cine se baga?:))
Cum zice si titlul basically. Eu si inca un prieten ne-am face un grup de 5-6 pers. Grupul din care facem parte curent nu se intalneste prea des (4 sesiuni din noiembrie pana acum) si am vazut ca s-a mai postat asta pe aici si erau oameni interesati. Pentru cateva detalii: -zic sa incepem cu un one shot de 1-3 sesiuni, sa vedem daca ne inghitim pana sa ne bagam la ceva mai lung:)) -daca e vreun DM prin umbra pe aici, te vrem in echipa noastra:)) ne-ar placea sa fim jucatori tbh, dar vedem cum se aliniaza astrele in final. -prima intalnire chiar joia viitoare dupa mine, considerand ca ne strangem cativa pana atunci. Va astept cu drag mesajele/commurile tbh:)) facem un grup de facebook/wapp si stabilim mai departe :D

2024.05.15 11:35 Saintly009 26 [M4F] Christian man seeking Christian woman #Washington #Online
I'm told women want a man who knows what he wants, so here's the whole nine yards. If there is anything here that you are not willing to accept, then don't. You will not change me now or years down the line. Obviously I intend to grow and mature (as one ought to), but I have decided who I am and what I want out of a relationship.
I am looking for a woman that I can make a permanent covenant bond with; I have no interest in flings or "long-term relationships."
I don't intend to come across as bitter or angry with any of this, just clear and up-front. It makes things easier for both of us.
A bit about me:
My faith in Christ is paramount in my life. I would not be where I am without him. In taking interests in various things, I've learned a lot about God's character and design. Each new thing I learn fills me with more worship of him and wonder at his works. It is very important to me that you share this admiration of God.
I have a full-time job that I am very satisfied with, but what I feel truly passionate about is art and storytelling. To be honest, I've hit a bit of a block lately as far as my output. But I've been trying to find my feet so I can make something valuable to share with the world. I think that art and stories are a fundamental part of being human, not just a luxury. So pretty much any kind of art will spark passion in me, be it music, cinema, video games, literature, video essay, sculpture, etc. I could go back and forth for hours on a lot of things. My hope is that you and I will be able to enjoy art together and create some of our own.
I frequently spend time with another gentleman from my Church and we enjoy conversations about personal projects and contemporary issues, along with walks along beaches and park trails. He is a very important friend in my life, and I am lucky to know such a kind soul. Things aren't well with my family, so I really need that kind of presence.
While I rely on my bicycle for transport (no car), it's not a problem for me. I've been riding bikes since I was in elementary school (maybe even before). It would be really nice to ride down some trails with you.
What I expect from you:
-You need to be a follower of Jesus Christ. God needs to be an active part of your life because I intend to raise our children under Biblical values.
-You need hobbies and interests apart from me. I'm fine with helping you find things you like.
-You need to have no mileage.
-You must be humble and respectful. "Boss babe" attitudes are not attractive to me.
-You cannot have any tattoos or piercings.
-No cosmetic products. It's not good for your body and I am attracted women, not makeup. This includes fake nails and fake eyelashes. I don't need you to look "pretty." You character is more important to me.
-Related to the previous, no use of image filters in photos. I do not like the type of people who are vain and vapid enough to feel the need to use filters on their photos.
-Again related to the previous, you need to have a limited social media presence. If you have a business or post something of value (like art, for example), then I have no problem. What I'm talking about is having an Instagram or Facebook account where you make random posts to nobody in particular to "update" the internet on your life or post tons of pictures of yourself online. Basing your self-worth on the comments and likes from strangers on the internet is unhealthy, and I find people's obsessive need to take pictures of themselves very unattractive and vain.
-If we marry, I expect you to be fully submissive to me. There can't be two leaders in a household because one will have to submit to the other.
-I expect you to view marriage as something that you put work into. Marriages are a team effort, so I expect you to be a help meet.
-You need to treat me like a partner, not an adversary. Getting into arguments and nagging me helps neither of us. You must have conflict-resolution skills and a solution mindset.
-You need excellent communication skills. This means understanding yourself, putting your thoughts into words other people can understand, and verbalizing things rather than expecting me to read your thoughts.
-You cannot play games with me. Telling me about other guys to make me jealous or planning dates for specific days to pressure me into committing to you are wicked and manipulative.
-While we are dating, you cannot have a "backup plan." I expect you to not be splitting your attention between me and other men. This includes spending time outside of work with other men (family excluded).
-You must be in shape. Don't be dishonest with yourself about your weight; check your BMI. This includes being underweight, anorexic, and bulimic.
-You cannot have taken any COVID-19 vaccinations from any provider.
-No smoking, drugs, or drunkenness.
-I expect you to completely renounce fast food if we date or marry. We will never feed our children McDonald's.
What you can expect from me:
-While we are dating, I will not be speaking to other women.
-I cannot meet your height, money, or attractiveness expectations. I am simply an average dude. I am critical, abstract, and imaginative in my thinking though.
-I will not ask you to do something that is unreasonable or demeaning. I will only ask of you what I expect from myself. No relationship is going to be 50/50 100% of the time, but I will put forth the effort I am able to. I expect the same out of you.
-I will not raise my hand against you. My hands will be a safe place for you.
-I will be available to listen to your troubles and help you bear through them.
-I will not demean you or humiliate you, whether or not you are in the room.
-I will show leadership in our house and exercise restraint with a mild temper.
-I will cherish you and treat you as my own body.
-I will devote myself to displaying my love for you in a language you understand, even if I am feeling distant from you because of troubles we face. I expect the same from you.
-I will not turn to another woman and betray you.
-I intend to keep every promise that I make with you.
-I will treat our children with patience and kindness, but diligently discipline them and instruct them appropriately.
Please tell me a bit about yourself and what you expect out of a relationship, but be practical and clear. A list of platitudes like "loyal, honest, etc" does not help me understand what you're looking for. Think about what your expectations look like in a tangible, everyday way.

2024.05.15 11:34 Meydeey Google : Réponses IA Intégrées dans le Moteur de Recherche
Google a annoncé une mise à jour majeure de son moteur de recherche : l'intégration de réponses générées par l'IA. Cette nouveauté, appelée "AI overviews", sera déployée cette semaine aux États-Unis et s'étendra bientôt à d'autres pays. Cette innovation vise à offrir des résumés succincts des informations trouvées sur le web, directement en haut des résultats de recherche.
Par exemple, tu pourrais avoir un assistant expert à tes côtés via ton téléphone ou des dispositifs innovants comme des lunettes intelligentes. Ces assistants seront capables de reconnaître l'environnement via la caméra d'un smartphone et de fournir des conseils pratiques.
Apple est également en train de conclure un accord avec OpenAI pour utiliser les capacités de ChatGPT sur l'iPhone. Cet accord pourrait être annoncé lors d'un événement en Californie le mois prochain, avec une possible mise à jour de Siri, l'assistant numérique d'Apple.

Qu'est-ce que les "AI overviews" ?
Les "AI overviews" sont des résumés générés par l'IA qui apparaissent en tête des résultats de recherche. Ces résumés sont créés par la technologie Gemini de Google et incluent des liens vers les sources d'information. Cela permet aux utilisateurs de trouver rapidement des réponses à leurs questions sans avoir à parcourir plusieurs sites web.
Pourquoi ce changement ?
Google fait face à une concurrence croissante de la part d'autres moteurs de recherche alimentés par l'IA, comme Perplexity, et des rumeurs selon lesquelles OpenAI développe son propre outil de recherche. De plus, des fonctionnalités de recherche par chat IA sont déjà disponibles sur des plateformes comme Facebook, Instagram et WhatsApp. Ces alternatives sont souvent préférées pour leur interface plus épurée.
Impact sur les utilisateurs et les créateurs de contenu
Pour les utilisateurs, cette mise à jour signifie une recherche plus rapide et plus efficace. Tu pourras poser des questions complexes et obtenir des réponses détaillées en une seule fois. Par exemple, tu pourras demander à Google de diagnostiquer un appareil électroménager en panne en le filmant avec ton smartphone.
Cependant, les créateurs de contenu et les petits éditeurs sont inquiets. Ils craignent que les utilisateurs ne cliquent plus sur leurs sites web pour obtenir des informations, ce qui pourrait réduire leur trafic. Selon le cabinet d'études Gartner, le trafic des moteurs de recherche sur le web pourrait chuter de 25 % d'ici 2026 en raison de l'utilisation accrue des robots d'IA.
Les avantages des "AI overviews"
- Recherche plus rapide et efficace
- Réponses détaillées et précises
- Liens vers les sources d'information
- Possibilité de poser des questions complexes
Le projet Astra de Google
En parallèle, Google travaille sur le projet Astra, qui vise à créer des assistants numériques pour aider à accomplir diverses tâches. Ces assistants seront intégrés dans des produits Google comme l'application Gemini ou l'Assistant. L'objectif est de fournir un agent d'intelligence artificielle universel qui soit vraiment utile dans la vie quotidienne.Par exemple, tu pourrais avoir un assistant expert à tes côtés via ton téléphone ou des dispositifs innovants comme des lunettes intelligentes. Ces assistants seront capables de reconnaître l'environnement via la caméra d'un smartphone et de fournir des conseils pratiques.
La concurrence dans le domaine de l'IA
Google n'est pas seul dans cette course à l'IA. OpenAI a récemment publié une version améliorée de son logiciel, GPT-4o, qui peut générer du contenu et comprendre des commandes vocales, textuelles ou visuelles. Cette technologie est capable de faire des blagues, d'écrire des chansons et d'aider à résoudre des problèmes complexes.Apple est également en train de conclure un accord avec OpenAI pour utiliser les capacités de ChatGPT sur l'iPhone. Cet accord pourrait être annoncé lors d'un événement en Californie le mois prochain, avec une possible mise à jour de Siri, l'assistant numérique d'Apple.
Conclusion
En résumé, l'intégration de réponses générées par l'IA dans le moteur de recherche IA Google représente une avancée majeure. Elle promet de rendre la recherche en ligne plus rapide et plus efficace, tout en posant des défis pour les créateurs de contenu. Le projet Astra et la concurrence avec des entreprises comme OpenAI montrent que le domaine de l'IA est en pleine effervescence, avec de nombreuses innovations à venir.➤ Découvre nos Formations IA, Automatisation et Growth

2024.05.15 10:22 FaithfullyYoursJesus I left church because....
Hi! I've been wanting to vent out about this before but I just didn't know how to start and where to start. I've been carrying this burden in my heart for quite awhile now. This is regarding our Pastor. To start, I just want to say that he is a good person. Knowing him from the time we moved here in the province four years ago. he is indeed a good man. I remember the time he was dreaming to have a big online platform. I was there when he was just starting four years ago. I was the one who managed and organized his facebook page and his youtube account. I was the one who edit his videos and photos early on. He gave me money few times in exchange of my service but most times, I was doing it for free. Honestly, I didn't mind doing it for free because I love doing something for the ministry.. for God.. for Jesus Christ. I was a very active young people in the church back in the days when we were still living in the city. It has indeed become my lifestyle even after we moved here in the province. You know, I've noticed something about him. The things that he wanted me to edit, it's like the branding was focused most about him. God's word second. Like for instance, he wanted every thumbnails his face is in it. For the photos with bible verses, he always wanted to have his photos included. I was able to keep it to myself for such a long time, eventually I grew tired helping him. I've lost my motivation to edit because in my heart, something wasn't right.
Fast forward, I stopped doing it. But I was entrusted to do another assignment at church, I was assigned to do the projector during service. I'm not complaining about my task. I always love doing things for God. Going back to our pastor's platform. He is getting close to having 100k followers on his FB page now, but a lot of people are bashing him because according to them, he doesn't practice what he preaches. He is very worldly for a pastor. His videos speak volumes. Also, he is becoming toxic in dealing with people in the comment section. He would lashed out at every people who were trying to rebuke him in a loving way. It's like to him, they're always against him and he is always right and as if there's nothing wrong in what he does. For me, it's sad and heartbreaking. It's like he values his fame now more than God. It's like he would be okay to do bad publicity to become more famous. Bad publicity is still a publicity. His page will still has engagement from it regardless. More engagements means more revenue.
Actually, he believes in a hypergrace teaching and that's what he teaches in the church. One day, I've made a decision that I would temporarily stop going to that church because I want to grow more in faith and in God's grace even if it entails that I have to be alone in the wildnerness. I wasn't growing there. There was no discipleship.. the praise and worship was taken for granted.. there was no bible study.. there was no spiritual accountable partners. Basically, just going to church every Sunday and come out from the service just like nothing happened. I don't want that. I told him that I would stop going to church temporarily and come back soon but all the more I don't want to go there anymore. I want a leader who can rightly lead me, not blindly lead me. Just right now, he is viral because last Sunday after the service, they recorded a video of them dancing to a secular song inside the church. A lot of Christians were disappointed and upset. But as for him, he is boasting about in his facebook account. It's heartbreaking to see how fame and the greed for fame can change a person. Actually, after he got monetized and received his pay, he kicked me out of his page already without telling me that he would do it. But when he was first starting it, he told me he would make me an admin. I understand that it was his page but it's sad on my part that when was just starting, he told me that he would involve me but when he's becoming famous, he just kicked me out without notice. if you were in my shoe, do you think it's reasonable for me to stop going to that church? Probably some of you would suggest for me to find another church, but after what happened, for now, I just want to stay home and listen to preachings online.

2024.05.15 10:13 GheorgheGheorghiuBej Cum se manipuleaza opinia publica
Sa zicem ca esti un partid mare la guvernare si vrei sa introduci o masura nepopulara. Exemple posibile ar fi:
submitted by GheorgheGheorghiuBej to Romania [link] [comments]
- trecerea la impozitul progresiv
- stagiul militar obligatoriu
- Lansezi pe piata ideea, prin diversi analisti platiti sa fie "talking heads" pe la televizor, sau prin canale neoficiale, pe Social Media (Reddit, Facebook, Tiktok etc.). N-o dai ca sigura, ci "se discuta" sau "ar fi bine sa..." sau expui problema ("nu mai avem bani la buget", "nu ne putem apara de rusi cu ce avem"), urmand ca tu sa ajungi in mod natural la concluzie in capul tau. Fiind "doar o discutie", esti intr-un spatiu sigur, nu ti se poate intampla, este doar o idee.
- Ideea devine din ce in ce mai prezenta in discutiile de la televiziuni. Se prezinta argumente, aparent pro si contra, intr-un simulacru de obiectivitate. Se apasa din ce in ce mai mult pedala pe argumentele "pro", pana cand se produce nervozitate publica.
- In acest moment, din culise apare "Salvatorul", de obicei domnul prim ministru Ciolacu, care joaca acest rol in spatiu public. Fiind o figura proeminenta a statului, isi pune intreaga autoritate pe fraze rostite apasat: "Nu va fi niciun impozit progresiv", "Nu avem nevoie de armata obligatorie". De obicei, se ofteaza usurat, si domnul Ciolacu mai castiga niste puncte de imagine. S-a rezolvat, nu se va face! Inapoi la munca...
- ...insa dupa un timp, discutiile cu argumente pro sunt peste tot, iar cele contra au obosit. In sfarsit, e timpul ca Primul Ministru sa-si suflece mainile si sa se apuce de problema!
- Se difuzeaza idei tot mai extreme de rezolvare a problemei. "Vom pune impozit progresiv de 40% intre 5000 si 9000 si de 60% intre 9000 si 200000!" si "Se vor recruta barbatii intre 18-70 de ani". Se vor scurge documente in spatiul public. E aproape groasa, din nou!
- Vine din nou Primul Detensionator al Tarii si ne comunica ca "s-a inteles gresit", e vorba numai de 20% pentru primul prag si 30% pe al doilea. Iar barbatii vor fi recrutati doar pana la 35 de ani. Lumea ofteaza aproape usurata. E bine! Am evitat un dezastru. Din nou, Ciolacu primeste puncte.
- Legea trece pe repede-nainte. Se adauga amendamente in favoarea potentatilor. Daca ai peste 20000 salariu si-o alunita pe obraz, esti scutit de impozit. Daca ai pana in 35 de ani, iti poti anula recrutarea daca platesti 10.000 de Euro la Bugetul de Stat.

2024.05.15 08:45 Ok-Cattle-9520 Is my (36m) fiancé (33f) might be cheating on me or am I just being paranoid?
I do t know if it’s just me or if this stuff is suspicious. We’ve been together for a year now. Here’s the reasons I think she might be cheating:
submitted by Ok-Cattle-9520 to relationship_advice [link] [comments]
- We used condoms at the beginning of our relationship. Then about two months in we stopped. Now all of a sudden she wants to start using them again. She said it’s because she doesn’t like the smell we both produce when we have sex and that the condoms help.
- We barely even have sex anymore. We’re going on two months now.
- She accidentally turned off her location services on her phone and I can’t see her location. She can still see mine. When I asked her about it, she said she didn’t know how to turn it back on. I walked her through it and got it back on. A day later, they were off again.
- She doesn’t wear her engagement ring. When I asked her about that, she said it’s because she doesn’t like being asked personal questions about her life while she’s at work. That kind of makes sense, but when she goes out with friends, she doesn’t wear it either.
- When invited to go out with friends, her friends don’t invite me to tag along. Our group of friends is one that we have both known since high school. We’ve both been friends with this group for almost 20 years.
- She’s been distant. We used to cuddle every night and now I barely get a kiss good night.
- She recently started doing her makeup and hair in the spare bathroom. She’s always done it in our shared bedroom or bathroom. When I asked her about it, she said it’s because she doesn’t want to wake me up. I’ve told her that she is the only person in this world that could wake me up and I’d have no issue with it.
- It took her two weeks to tell her family about our engagement. When I shared it on Facebook, she got upset with me.
- She always keeps her phone unlocked. That’s not the issue, but she used to always just leave it lying around. Now she never lets it out of her sight. My phone is locked because I use it for work and have sensitive company information on there. She has the password and has her face assigned to it, so she always has access.
- She used to take calls while I’m in the room and always used speaker phone because she said it’s easier for her to hear it. Now within the past month she leaves the room and uses the regular speaker.
2024.05.15 08:44 KitticusCatticus Is the FDA hiding Purina's dirty little secret? Kitten Chow, Proplan, Beneful, & many more found with highly elevated levels of vitamin D. Almost 1000 pets reported dead, many more sick. 92% were given a Purina/Nestle food. (Dogs too!)
Yet the FDA hasn't released any official statement or recall because Purina is putting on a hard poker face, denying the allegations of affected pets, which includes almost 1000 FDA reported fatalities. That's just what has been reported. Families like ours, who recently lost a perfectly healthy pet, are just now realizing this may have been the cause.
This needs to get BIG. Tell everyone you know. Bloggers, get blogging. You make videos? Make one on this. Get this info out. Because the FDA and Purina sure aren't.
Some more links for those interested:
What they've admitted to already: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/nestle-purina-petcare-company-voluntarily-recalls-purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets-el-elemental-dry (Notice they say there will be no announcement until "scientific research has been done."? Well. Who's doing this research and when? How many more pets need to die before they can fit this in their schedule?)
An info site made by pet parents, for pet parents: https://truthaboutpetfood.com/971-pet-food-complaints-reported-to-fda-january-2024/
A Facebook group where this all started to come to light through pet parents sharing their stories: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DuncanStrong/
I actually joined that group way back when our youngest cat was starting to fade. My perfectly healthy kitten who wasn't even 2 years old yet. But I thought he was so terribly sick, there's no way it could be from the food. Had to be something crazy no one could diagnose. He was throwing up non stop to the point he gave up eating. Then his liver shut down, and he passed. Now I'm really questioning everything. My other cat happened to be eating a non-purina brand food because she's a senior and she's fine. Please, switch foods before this happens to you and yours. 💜 🐈🐕👨👩👧👦

2024.05.15 08:12 rocultura Mexican Michael Jackson impersonator causes stampeded and dozens injured/died, ~2010
This incident was always in the back of my mind whenever I would think about Michael Jackson as i just remembered it so vividly. I remember first hearing about it maybe a few years after his death, I might have saw it on the news or my mom showed me a facebook post about it on her phone. It was only when i brought it up recently to some friends who slightly remembered it that I realized no such incident occurred with absolutely 0 evidence. I could be mixing a few incidents up, such as general impersonators and the general hysteria associated with MJ concerts, but I really truly remember one isolated incident in which a lot of people were hospitalized or killed. I even feel like I remember seeing a picture of the guys face but I cant put a finger on it.

2024.05.15 08:09 Ok_Fish_9387 Intel i9 is slow
My newly built computer, an i9 with 128gb ram, 4060 Nvidia card, rapid fast SSD, and more than adequare cooling, is sort of "slow". I use a 49" curved screen and that might be why, but I am still curious and would like input from you guys.
In the browser even on Facebook it can be a tiny bit slow when typing text. YouTube can also be slow in terms of moving my mouse over a button and it takes 0.5 second for the icon to change. Things like that.
When this happens the computer fans ramp up and it gets faster. It just seems like the computer is on drugs and needs a slap across the face to wake up and work. I rather have it work all the time, I don't care about the power cost or whatever.
Any ideas? Much appreciated!

Link for all the chapters available here: Engines of Arachnea on Royal Road
Zildiz felt her exomorph go rigid as it lost contact with her central nervous system. Curse that wretched Leaper! She’d forgotten just how durable their physiologies were. Their exomorphs had three times as many backup systems as those of Gallivants, unsurprising given that they had to retain control over their complex musculature. She’d been a fool for thinking that merely cutting it in half would do the trick. The error would wind up costing her life in these next few moments unless she took drastic action.
She was blind—her helm and its sets of eyes had sustained catastrophic damage and left her soft innards exposed. Even worse, she was crippled, the exomorph’s augmented muscle fibers unresponsive to her nervous system's inputs. But perhaps she still had the sheer physical strength to swing her blades. Zildiz tried to flex her wrist and was rewarded by a vigorous twitch of her pinky finger. Just in time; she could hear the Leaper close by, the leaf litter crackling as it approached.
Not yet, she told herself. Just a little closer. Hands pawed at her face and tore off the remnants of her helmet, scraping the hemolymphic gel from her naked face. What the hell was it doing? Zildiz had to restrain herself from crying out and striking at the air in panic.
Not yet! It was a crime to interrupt a fool when he was digging his own grave. Zildiz lay perfectly still as the Leaper fiddled around with her exomorph, feeling helpless and violated as never before. Vowing to give the bastard a slow and painful death for this, she curled her hand into a fist and waited until she felt its fingers caress the surface of her innards. Letting out a scream of incoherent rage Zildiz thrust at her unseen enemy, heard a cry of pain and the Leaper stumbling away, swearing profusely.
“Ow! That hurt, you witch! What the blazes are you?” the Leaper cried out. Zildiz frowned. That hadn’t sounded like the croaking of a Leaper. Speaking a slow and halting fashion, she replied:
“I would ask you the same thing.”
“I am Rene Louvoture, assistant navigator, 9th Battalion, 3rd Pathfinder Regiment.”
Zildiz shook her head at the string of gibberish.
“I am Zildiz, of the Blade-Wings. Why haven’t you killed me?”
“Why would I?" said the voice, sounding both shaky and incredulous, “You’re just like me, aren’t you?”
“How so?”
“Open your eyes and see for yourself.”
Zildiz realized with a start that it was referring to the primitive ocular organs of her innards. The thought hadn’t even occurred to her. The last time she’d been out of her exomorph was when she and Menash had been together, many cycles ago. With great effort her atrophied facial muscles remembered how to lift her eyelids, and she beheld a world of total darkness.
Bioluminescent growths from the surrounding vegetation gradually helped her to see with her naked eyes, and she beheld the prey-form standing over her with a hand clamped to its bleeding shin. Its albino exoskeleton was ripped and stained with blood. In its fist it clutched a short blade that emitted a constant, low hum. Zildiz propped herself up on her elbow and locked eyes with the creature. To her disgust she found that its exomorph had a completely transparent helm allowing her to see its bare face in all its lumpen hideousness. It had a head of curled black hairs, matted and moist like the growths on a Leaper’s belly. The prey-form’s flat, broad nose gave it a singularly pugnacious look, while its skin was as milk-white as that of a flesh-eating maggot’s. Zildiz dragged herself back, her first instinct being to recoil from it.
“Don’t move,” Rene advised her, “You’ve suffered some sort of spinal injury, I think. Can you feel your legs?”
“No,” Zildiz lied, thrusting out her chin at him defiantly, “What do you care?”
“I told you, I’m not about to kill you. We’re the same, can’t you see? Human!”
“We share the primal pattern, but I am a Gallivant. You are not. That is all that matters.”
“Right,” Rene sighed and sat down on the rotting log, “Whatever that means. Ye gods, I need a stiff drink right about now.”
Zildiz eyed him suspiciously, convinced it was some sort of ruse. He was just gauging how crippled she truly was and waiting for her to lower her guard. Very well; two could play at that game. In the meantime, she would try and work some feeling back into her exomorph.
“Are you really a hatchling?” she asked it suddenly.
“You heard that nonsense, did you?” Rene glanced up, “Of course not. I was just leading them on. The ‘fire giant’ isn’t a living creature, it’s a machine—a Divine Engine. What, don’t you have them wherever it is that you come from?” he joked, smiling at her. Zildiz grimaced at the sight, and he stopped.
“A machine,” she said slowly, “Like this one?”
Zildiz gestured at her disabled exomorph. Rene chewed over that piece of information. So that was what she was wearing: a living machine, a sealant suit of chitin and muscle equipped with weaponry and capable of flight. Like the Engine, it was a level of technology he hadn't even known could exist.
“Not exactly,” he finally replied, “I mean, it isn’t quite as revolting as yours. No offense,” he added quickly, snatching a quick glance at her face. She had a hawkish look about her, all thin lines and edges, but somewhere in there was a wild and timeless beauty which defied his attempts to pin down as some definable quality of womanhood.
“So you have been inside of it,” she confirmed with a look of satisfaction.
“I didn’t say that,” Rene stammered, feeling like he was losing the battle for information, “I merely observed it from a distance. I mean, the sheer size of it. Who wouldn’t have? You saw what I—what it—did to the Amit mound.”
Rene bit his lip, mentally kicking himself for his careless slip of the tongue. Zildiz narrowed her eyes at him, partly out of mistrust and partly due to the head-splitting migraine she was feeling. It had been so long since she’d been forced to rely on this basic sense organ, and its rods and cones were out of practice.
“The grey behemoth, this Divine Engine, as you call it. Did the Vitalus send it to cull the colony? Are you a Hollowore?”
“A Hull-of-War?” Rene repeated dimly.
"A Inkarnid? An Aspect of the All-In-One?"
“Look, I haven’t the foggiest notion what you’re talking about. And I’m the one asking questions here, don’t you forget it. Flame and perdition!” he swore, “You really nicked me, you know that?
Rene set his sword to aside and bent over to poke at the shallow stab wound on his shin. Zildiz chose that moment to burst into action. She was on her feet before he knew it, slicing at him with her blade arms. Rene yelped and rolled backwards off the log, narrowly avoiding dismemberment and flipping over nimbly to his feet, cursing himself for letting her gain the upper hand.
“Stop! Please, I don’t wish to hurt you!” he shouted at her as he ran circles around the dead tree, keeping it between himself and her wicked blades. Her movements were awkward and ponderous, as though her legs weren’t used to supporting the weight of her body. Scowling wrathfully, Zildiz kept after him as he jogged just out of her reach, the two of them playing a very earnest game of ring around the rosy. Finally Rene had enough and took up the club again, whacking her on the back of the knees so that she fell forward onto her hands. Her nose flattened itself against a pebble, producing an indescribable pain. She groaned and clutched at her face while Rene sat on her back to keep her pinned down.
“Sorry! Sorry! I really am. But it seems at this point to be abundantly clear,” Rene shouted as she flailed at him ineffectually with her blades, “That I have no other option but to take you in!”
“Just try and feed me to your brood, I dare you!” she screamed as blood trickled from her nostrils, “I’ll carve out their eyes and feed it to them!”
“What? No! That’s not it at all!” Rene cried, mortified, “As a soldier of the Fleet, I am hereby placing you under arrest as a hostile belligerent. Henceforth, you may consider yourself my prisoner of war!”

“I didn’t say that,” Rene stammered, feeling like he was losing the battle for information, “I merely observed it from a distance. I mean, the sheer size of it. Who wouldn’t have? You saw what I—what it—did to the Amit mound.”
Rene bit his lip, mentally kicking himself for his careless slip of the tongue. Zildiz narrowed her eyes at him, partly out of mistrust and partly due to the head-splitting migraine she was feeling. It had been so long since she’d been forced to rely on this basic sense organ, and its rods and cones were out of practice.
“The grey behemoth, this Divine Engine, as you call it. Did the Vitalus send it to cull the colony? Are you a Hollowore?”
“A Hull-of-War?” Rene repeated dimly.
"A Inkarnid? An Aspect of the All-In-One?"
“Look, I haven’t the foggiest notion what you’re talking about. And I’m the one asking questions here, don’t you forget it. Flame and perdition!” he swore, “You really nicked me, you know that?
Rene set his sword to aside and bent over to poke at the shallow stab wound on his shin. Zildiz chose that moment to burst into action. She was on her feet before he knew it, slicing at him with her blade arms. Rene yelped and rolled backwards off the log, narrowly avoiding dismemberment and flipping over nimbly to his feet, cursing himself for letting her gain the upper hand.
“Stop! Please, I don’t wish to hurt you!” he shouted at her as he ran circles around the dead tree, keeping it between himself and her wicked blades. Her movements were awkward and ponderous, as though her legs weren’t used to supporting the weight of her body. Scowling wrathfully, Zildiz kept after him as he jogged just out of her reach, the two of them playing a very earnest game of ring around the rosy. Finally Rene had enough and took up the club again, whacking her on the back of the knees so that she fell forward onto her hands. Her nose flattened itself against a pebble, producing an indescribable pain. She groaned and clutched at her face while Rene sat on her back to keep her pinned down.
“Sorry! Sorry! I really am. But it seems at this point to be abundantly clear,” Rene shouted as she flailed at him ineffectually with her blades, “That I have no other option but to take you in!”
“Just try and feed me to your brood, I dare you!” she screamed as blood trickled from her nostrils, “I’ll carve out their eyes and feed it to them!”
“What? No! That’s not it at all!” Rene cried, mortified, “As a soldier of the Fleet, I am hereby placing you under arrest as a hostile belligerent. Henceforth, you may consider yourself my prisoner of war!”

2024.05.15 07:25 Sin-God A New Chain: Another Day Another Dollar
A/N: This incorporates a new build, with additional drawbacks and perks. I added a few gamer functions, as well as Lightning Quick, Brute Strength, DPS, and Rogue. More details are available over on Spacebattles (I also edited the original chapters there to reflect the changes).
Within minutes of entering the building and clocking in, I'm speedily typing away at my computer. There are stacks of papers on my desk that I am dedicatedly transcribing and digitizing.
This is my job, at least on most days. I have to take sheets of paper, invariably assorted forms related to insurance, and digitize them. In minutes I have already done this to a few different types of forms, from applications to the paperwork regarding claims and investigations into claims. "Speed Typist" mixed with "Lightning Quick" allows me to easily breeze through even dense forms and shift between the programs I need to use for each type of form. My job is hilariously, almost offensively, easy and I have already heard that we have a backlog so I have plenty of stuff to go through.
As I type I begin to think about each of my gamer perks as well as my system. Every few minutes I'll "mistype" thanks to "Buggy" and I'll spend a split second going back and fixing my mistake but between "The Devil's Own Luck" and "Lightning Quick" I'm able to fix my mistakes in a span of milliseconds. While I type I use "Observe" every instance I can, throwing in a tiny burst to the overall amount of experience I gain.
I use my enhanced mind's passive ability to follow two trains of thought while I work. As far as anyone can tell I'm diligently doing my job, but in actuality I'm exploring my system. Through passive, almost imperceptible gestures, mostly due to how fast they are, I am messing around with my rather system.
I whittle away the hours I need to spend at my job doing this. During this time I get a few of my skills to level up a few times, thanks to my decision to faithfully and diligently hone some of my other abilities like "Observe". Eventually lunch rolls around and Amy sneaks up behind me so she can surprise me and draw me away from my work. I feign surprise when she reaches me up and taps on my shoulder, and this is a perfect chance for me to try something out.
I make small talk and I silently activate my ability to pause reality while I'm in the middle of a sentence. The world freezes around me and I get to see Amy freeze as she reacts to what I'm saying. I have a reason for doing this, it's all for the sake of experimenting with some of my more intriguing abilities.
I focus on Amy even as I interact with my system's UI and I activate my "Gacha" mechanic. In my mind's eye I can see a logo representing a capsule machine beginning to stir to life and spin some of the capsules containing various awards, and I think about two enormously powerful perks: "The Face" and "Silver Tongue".
These two charisma enhancing perks are incredibly valuable tools in my repertoire and I have yet to meaningfully use them. One of them, "Silver Tongue" is not as directly powerful as "The Face" but it offers me broad knowledge of psychology, enhances my charismatic intuition, and makes me incredibly attractive. The real powerhouse of a perk is "The Face". By focusing on people and thinking of something I want them to believe or persuade them to do I have a supernatural intuitive sense that allows me to know the best sort of argument I could make to achieve that goal. To test this I study Amy while wondering if there's any way for me to convince her to go on a date with me, and after a split second of thinking I begin to feel vague intuitive senses of what I could say and do that would make her see me as a potential romantic interest, and I know that doing that before I ask her out would guarantee success if I wanted her to go on a date with me.
I immediately shift tactics and try to see if I could persuade her to give me 100,000 dollars, and I am unsurprised when I do not gain any vague sensations about how to make that happen one way or another. "Worth a shot..." I tell myself, and if I could smile more I would. Both of these perks are strong, but I'm clever enough to recognize that they become even stronger when I add "Beautiful Mind" and "Well of Wisdom" to the mix. WoW is especially handy in a combination like this, since it allows me to pick and choose the most efficient route to my desired outcome. This is especially true if I mix it with my ability to pause time, since I can give myself breathing room and contemplate how to most skillfully word my arguments and present my positions.
The gacha machine, or some abstraction of one, in my head slows to a stop. When it does a symbol of a capsule pops out and I am delighted to see that I've won a mundane iPad like device, a handy thing I can use as a computer for the time being! This is quite handy, and I can see this particular mechanic becoming something life-saving in a moment of desperation with the right amount of luck. The decide immediately fills a slot in my inventory, and I make a mental note to pull it out and use it later.
I unpause time and over the course of the next few minutes I use my skills, mixing all of the aforementioned perks and functions of my gamer skills as Amy and I walk over to the cafeteria. It is only when we're sitting through the door into the cafeteria that I sense an opportunity to ask my friend something.
"Hey, do you want to try a soup I made? I like it but having a second opinion is always good." I remark, causing her eyes to brightly light up. I grin at her and we walk over to the same table we ate at yesterday. I hand her the small container I'm holding my soup in, and she looks at it. I see her inhale and watch as her eyes light up. We're the first of the people to arrive at our table so no one else sees this. The container I gave her also has some silverware which she uses to go ahead and take a sip of the soup. I am delighted when time freezes and I get a notification alerting me to the acquisition of a new class: that of a chef. I immediately equip it even as I click through the drawback that appears before me. This also confirms that at least in some cases what is needed for me to get a class is for me to do stuff in front of others or at least involve them in some way.
As time resumes I see Amy's face light up.
"This is delicious!" She states with a delighted and sincere grin. I light up as she tells me this and I lightly cheer. This is excellent news, and my acquisition of this class is very fascinating. When it comes to classes I have a unique ability to get them to "Prestige" once they reach a high enough level, and given my current build's focus on support, buffing, and healing, if I can master a class like that of a chef I can do a lot.
"I'm so happy you like it!" I exclaim, sincerely. It really does taste quite good, but my whole body is enhanced and I'm superhumanly sensitive to things like taste so there's no guarantee that what I taste will be what others taste. That said, cooking is an absolutely incredible skill so if I can master it... Well, I'll always be able to prove my worth in almost any situation involving other people. Cooking... is a cracked skill to have in real life.
Our friends join us and as they do Amy turns to them and hands one of the women the container. Mary looks at us quizzically and Amy pantomimes for her friend to try the soup. Mary's look of confusion only becomes more apparent, but she still dutifully does as she's been asked, using her own silverware to do so. Her eyes light up as well and I feel how much experience I have as a cook slowly increase, which brings a smug smile to my face.
"This is delicious! What is this?!" Mary asks, and I grin and point at me. She smiles, impressed, before handing it back to me.
"I made this soup last night. I liked it but I didn't know if I was going crazy or not." I remark, and that gets a laugh out of Amy.
"Well, if working at an office ever gets boring you could make a living as a chef. This is amazing!" She states, and I can hear the honesty in her voice. It's kind of nice how much she likes the stuff, and a part of me wouldn't mind making more food for her if she's gonna be this enthusiastic about what I give her to eat.
It's hard not for me not to beam at my companions in passive delight the whole time we're eating lunch. The lunchroom conversation is kept simple and we simply inform each other about upcoming plans and light gossip, all of which I've heard before thanks to my enhanced, and growing, senses. Super Sensory is a strong enough perk by default but because of my ability to expand every facet of myself, coupled with the universality of "Master of All" I am just passively growing in my ability to hear stuff. Seeing as I am uncapped I could see myself someday hearing every conversation in this building, almost certainly by the end of the year given how all of my growth is linked together and builds on each other.
Lunch comes and goes in a blur and in minutes I'm back in front of the computer. In front of the computer I'm a blur, my fingers strengthened by Lightning Quick and Speed Typist. I whittle away the hours diligently doing my job, distracting myself and minorly doing other things by making use of my dual trains of thought, and even when I overcome instances of "Buggy" every few minutes I still find myself grateful that I took the drawbacks I did. This work would be... less than fun otherwise. By the time my workday comes to an end and I find myself outside of the office I've filled out hundreds of forms and diligently pushed various skills of mine to new levels. Colleagues of mine are walking around me and also leaving the office. I casually pause time. making use of my pause ability again, and I begin to think of what to do and where to go next.
"I suppose now's as good a time as any to go and see about volunteering..." I eventually realize as I think about the various things I can do from here. I momentarily wonder where I should go to try and do that before I remember what I told Amy and the others yesterday about how I volunteered at a clinic. WIth Healer volunteering at a hospital would be good for me, even if I couldn't do as much good as I'd like too since I am not a doctor. I unpause time and smile as I reach into my pocket, use "Inventory" and retrieve my cellphone.
"Where is the nearest hospital?" I ask aloud, into the phone. Some of the people walking past me glance at me curiously and I smile sheepishly as my phone begins to tell me where to go. I begin to walk in the direction the phone indicates, happy to have a chance to begin to do some good.
The walk isn't terribly long. It turns out that the hospital is in a part of downtown that I didn't explore last night, and I reach it less than five minutes after I start walking, just in the opposite direction of where I was going before. The hospital isn't huge, which surprises me since I don't seem to be living in some small town but in a decently sized city. I walk into the main entrance and step into a large lobby where a decent amount of foot traffic seems to happen, judging from the footprints I can faintly see on the floor beneath me. I walk up to a receptionist desk and the man behind it doesn't bother looking up and instead taps the clipboard in front of him. I glance at it and laugh when I see that it's a standard questionnaire for people who are visiting a hospital for normal, health-related reasons. My reaction surprises the man, and to be fair it's definitely odd for someone in a hospital to laugh at the sight of a hospital questionnaire.
I am laughing at the questionnaire because it's amusing to think about the possibility of getting sick, I'm a gamer, and while normally that'd conjure images of nerds and geeks in my case it means that my health is protected. I have two very powerful perks/features that wildly mitigate the dangers of sicknesses: "Tough As Nails" which guarantees that it'd take something supernatural or almost supernatural to stand a chance of even slowing me down, and "Gamer Body". Gamer Body is interesting in this context since it gamifies negative conditions and allows me to, quite literally, sleep them off. Even something like losing a limb can be cured with a night of sleep thanks to my abilities which feels radically overpowered given how little it cost. I have other perks which further lower my odds of being negatively affected by sicknesses, such as "The Devil's Own Luck". I also have my magic, which includes spells that completely heal and purify the body, and would work on me just as readily as they'd work on other people.
"I'm actually here to learn how to volunteer? I'm new in town and I used to volunteer at a clinic in my home town so I wanted to see if I could volunteer here." I explain, which causes the guy to look up at me. When he does his eyes widen, and I smile awkwardly. I consider feigning ignorance, or perhaps innocence, but I know what's going on. He wasn't expecting me to look the way I look.
My new looks are something it is taking me a beat to get used to. I was only okay looking before, but now my looks are hyper idealized, and I am a conceptually handsome version of the very best I could have ever looked, and it is a bit jarring. It's more jarring for me, knowing that before I was an at best average-looking guy before coming to this world and gaining this new form. I allow the man a beat, before I clear my throat and the sound snaps him out of the daze he was in.
"Oh! Sorry, man, I just assumed you were sick. Umm... Yeah, let me give you a packet." The man says, before reaching under the desk in front of him. I smile lightly as he rummages around the interior of the space that separates us.
My powerful senses allow me to easily notice all sorts of stuff occurring around me. I can hear the vital processes in the bodies of the people closest to me, such as heartbeats and the smells of sweat, as well as other bodily fluids. Many of the people in this area of the hospital are sick, and truthfully if I could I'd heal them all.
One of my reasons for coming here today is to give myself a means by which I can help and heal people. This is, mildly, altruistic but more than anything else I want to master the power to heal people before I leave this setting. In the right setting, being a healer is absolutely a pivotal method of interacting with my environment and also getting allies, as well as staying alive.
The man eventually hands me a packet, along with a pen to use to fill out parts of it, and I smile at him as I take it. It is filled with information, including an application to fill out, and I thank him as I walk over to the waiting area and begin to fill it out. The questions are simple and ask for basic information about me. I fill it out, though a part of me is curious how this'll mesh with my drawbacks...
When I finish filling out the form I hand it to the man and he gratefully takes it. He explains that I'll be contacted by someone named "Ms. Jimenez" soon, and that she oversees the volunteer program. I delightedly thank him for that information and begin to head out of the hospital.
In minutes I'm part of the way home. I am a decently fast walker, though that's something I'd like to work on more in the days to come. The sun is quickly descending, and the moon is already visible in the night sky. I'm approaching the row of apartment buildings that include the building I live in. As I draw nearer and nearer to it I spot a lone homeless man sleeping next to one of the apartments. He is clearly asleep and my observation ability only confirms this. It also reveals that the man is sick, and when I glance at his hit points I see further confirmation of that, as he's down a few of them. I am walking towards him, and as I move I see a nice opportunity for me to try something.
I silently activate "Rogue", one of my more odd perks, and I feel my presence become much more subdued and difficult to notice. I approach the man, and I shut my eyes. As I walk towards him I allow myself to be guided by Super Sensory and only stop when I'm right in front of the man. I kneel and I focus on my spellbook icon, allowing me to see my list of spells. My senses allow me to be confident that the figure is still asleep when I gently move my hands so that they are in front of him. Time freezes as I gain a "Stealth" skill, and while time is frozen I swap my class and become a mage so I can gain valuable experience before I deactivate "Tutorial Sprite". I allow time to resume and smile as I trigger a spell for the first time, one of healing.
For me to activate the spell requires nothing more than for me to have enough magic points and an applicable target. This particular spell is my more advanced spell and it can work on all sorts of living targets. It is named "Intermediate heal" and the fact that I have it is a sign of one of my purchases; Healer. I feel my points of arcane energy be converted into sacred, restorative energy and I open my eyes in time to watch my hands begin to glow as energy leaves me and enters him. I look at his hit points and watch them begin to slowly increase even as I hit him with another instance of "Observe". I do so just in time to feel time freeze as new notifications appear in my mind's eye. One of the first notifications is that I have just earned experience for the "Mage" class, which becomes experience for everything thanks to Master of All, while another indicates that I've just unlocked a quest to become a healer! I study these notifications with a proud grin as this marks an important milestone in my journey. The fact that the class I want is locked behind a quest is interesting and I make a mental note to study the quest as I head home.
I unfreeze time, notice that the man is already visibly healthier, and turn to make my way back to my new home. It takes only about six minutes before I find myself stepping into my apartment. Now I can play with my new toy from earlier!

Super Sensory is a strong enough perk by default but because of my ability to expand every facet of myself, coupled with the universality of "Master of All" I am just passively growing in my ability to hear stuff. Seeing as I am uncapped I could see myself someday hearing every conversation in this building, almost certainly by the end of the year given how all of my growth is linked together and builds on each other.
Lunch comes and goes in a blur and in minutes I'm back in front of the computer. In front of the computer I'm a blur, my fingers strengthened by Lightning Quick and Speed Typist. I whittle away the hours diligently doing my job, distracting myself and minorly doing other things by making use of my dual trains of thought, and even when I overcome instances of "Buggy" every few minutes I still find myself grateful that I took the drawbacks I did. This work would be... less than fun otherwise. By the time my workday comes to an end and I find myself outside of the office I've filled out hundreds of forms and diligently pushed various skills of mine to new levels. Colleagues of mine are walking around me and also leaving the office. I casually pause time. making use of my pause ability again, and I begin to think of what to do and where to go next.
"I suppose now's as good a time as any to go and see about volunteering..." I eventually realize as I think about the various things I can do from here. I momentarily wonder where I should go to try and do that before I remember what I told Amy and the others yesterday about how I volunteered at a clinic. WIth Healer volunteering at a hospital would be good for me, even if I couldn't do as much good as I'd like too since I am not a doctor. I unpause time and smile as I reach into my pocket, use "Inventory" and retrieve my cellphone.
"Where is the nearest hospital?" I ask aloud, into the phone. Some of the people walking past me glance at me curiously and I smile sheepishly as my phone begins to tell me where to go. I begin to walk in the direction the phone indicates, happy to have a chance to begin to do some good.
The walk isn't terribly long. It turns out that the hospital is in a part of downtown that I didn't explore last night, and I reach it less than five minutes after I start walking, just in the opposite direction of where I was going before. The hospital isn't huge, which surprises me since I don't seem to be living in some small town but in a decently sized city. I walk into the main entrance and step into a large lobby where a decent amount of foot traffic seems to happen, judging from the footprints I can faintly see on the floor beneath me. I walk up to a receptionist desk and the man behind it doesn't bother looking up and instead taps the clipboard in front of him. I glance at it and laugh when I see that it's a standard questionnaire for people who are visiting a hospital for normal, health-related reasons. My reaction surprises the man, and to be fair it's definitely odd for someone in a hospital to laugh at the sight of a hospital questionnaire.
I am laughing at the questionnaire because it's amusing to think about the possibility of getting sick, I'm a gamer, and while normally that'd conjure images of nerds and geeks in my case it means that my health is protected. I have two very powerful perks/features that wildly mitigate the dangers of sicknesses: "Tough As Nails" which guarantees that it'd take something supernatural or almost supernatural to stand a chance of even slowing me down, and "Gamer Body". Gamer Body is interesting in this context since it gamifies negative conditions and allows me to, quite literally, sleep them off. Even something like losing a limb can be cured with a night of sleep thanks to my abilities which feels radically overpowered given how little it cost. I have other perks which further lower my odds of being negatively affected by sicknesses, such as "The Devil's Own Luck". I also have my magic, which includes spells that completely heal and purify the body, and would work on me just as readily as they'd work on other people.
"I'm actually here to learn how to volunteer? I'm new in town and I used to volunteer at a clinic in my home town so I wanted to see if I could volunteer here." I explain, which causes the guy to look up at me. When he does his eyes widen, and I smile awkwardly. I consider feigning ignorance, or perhaps innocence, but I know what's going on. He wasn't expecting me to look the way I look.
My new looks are something it is taking me a beat to get used to. I was only okay looking before, but now my looks are hyper idealized, and I am a conceptually handsome version of the very best I could have ever looked, and it is a bit jarring. It's more jarring for me, knowing that before I was an at best average-looking guy before coming to this world and gaining this new form. I allow the man a beat, before I clear my throat and the sound snaps him out of the daze he was in.
"Oh! Sorry, man, I just assumed you were sick. Umm... Yeah, let me give you a packet." The man says, before reaching under the desk in front of him. I smile lightly as he rummages around the interior of the space that separates us.
My powerful senses allow me to easily notice all sorts of stuff occurring around me. I can hear the vital processes in the bodies of the people closest to me, such as heartbeats and the smells of sweat, as well as other bodily fluids. Many of the people in this area of the hospital are sick, and truthfully if I could I'd heal them all.
One of my reasons for coming here today is to give myself a means by which I can help and heal people. This is, mildly, altruistic but more than anything else I want to master the power to heal people before I leave this setting. In the right setting, being a healer is absolutely a pivotal method of interacting with my environment and also getting allies, as well as staying alive.
The man eventually hands me a packet, along with a pen to use to fill out parts of it, and I smile at him as I take it. It is filled with information, including an application to fill out, and I thank him as I walk over to the waiting area and begin to fill it out. The questions are simple and ask for basic information about me. I fill it out, though a part of me is curious how this'll mesh with my drawbacks...
When I finish filling out the form I hand it to the man and he gratefully takes it. He explains that I'll be contacted by someone named "Ms. Jimenez" soon, and that she oversees the volunteer program. I delightedly thank him for that information and begin to head out of the hospital.
In minutes I'm part of the way home. I am a decently fast walker, though that's something I'd like to work on more in the days to come. The sun is quickly descending, and the moon is already visible in the night sky. I'm approaching the row of apartment buildings that include the building I live in. As I draw nearer and nearer to it I spot a lone homeless man sleeping next to one of the apartments. He is clearly asleep and my observation ability only confirms this. It also reveals that the man is sick, and when I glance at his hit points I see further confirmation of that, as he's down a few of them. I am walking towards him, and as I move I see a nice opportunity for me to try something.
I silently activate "Rogue", one of my more odd perks, and I feel my presence become much more subdued and difficult to notice. I approach the man, and I shut my eyes. As I walk towards him I allow myself to be guided by Super Sensory and only stop when I'm right in front of the man. I kneel and I focus on my spellbook icon, allowing me to see my list of spells. My senses allow me to be confident that the figure is still asleep when I gently move my hands so that they are in front of him. Time freezes as I gain a "Stealth" skill, and while time is frozen I swap my class and become a mage so I can gain valuable experience before I deactivate "Tutorial Sprite". I allow time to resume and smile as I trigger a spell for the first time, one of healing.
For me to activate the spell requires nothing more than for me to have enough magic points and an applicable target. This particular spell is my more advanced spell and it can work on all sorts of living targets. It is named "Intermediate heal" and the fact that I have it is a sign of one of my purchases; Healer. I feel my points of arcane energy be converted into sacred, restorative energy and I open my eyes in time to watch my hands begin to glow as energy leaves me and enters him. I look at his hit points and watch them begin to slowly increase even as I hit him with another instance of "Observe". I do so just in time to feel time freeze as new notifications appear in my mind's eye. One of the first notifications is that I have just earned experience for the "Mage" class, which becomes experience for everything thanks to Master of All, while another indicates that I've just unlocked a quest to become a healer! I study these notifications with a proud grin as this marks an important milestone in my journey. The fact that the class I want is locked behind a quest is interesting and I make a mental note to study the quest as I head home.
I unfreeze time, notice that the man is already visibly healthier, and turn to make my way back to my new home. It takes only about six minutes before I find myself stepping into my apartment. Now I can play with my new toy from earlier!
2024.05.15 06:35 Throwra12312345678 Does your WS from time to time talk about struggling and bring up needing space and possibly separating even when R has seemingly been going well?
Or is that kind of off the wall and counterproductive to R?
I’ll try to make this as short as possible, I had a while post typed out but it was rejected because I copied a couple of my WH messages. We’re only about 4 weeks in from dday2.. after a false R that was about 2.5 months of which He went back to seeing his AP multiple times a week after only a month. It’s been difficult but he’s been a little more committed to R this time. Saturday we went out to celebrate our 16 year wedding anniversary. Everything was great including the weeks leading up to this night. However at one point I was trying to show him a picture on Facebook and he saw that his AP was on my search history. He gave me a face and we moved on with the night things were good. Then yesterday he was in a mood and really kind of projecting onto everyone. He was being inconsistent with me too about how he wanted to spend his days off. Told me he wasn’t sure we could hang out (we aren’t living together currently) so I made plans for myself. Then he abruptly decided he now did want to hang out and I was a little annoyed. When he asked what was wrong I told him that but that conversation really went nowhere sometime go. He finally ate and felt better and we ended up staying at his place and had a great night I thought. We cuddled, Watched a movie Was very loving etc. Today everything was fine again, we talked on the phone during my lunch break For an hour. Suddenly 1.5 hours later he send me A long message about he’s Struggling because of the Facebook thing And my attitude yesterday and how that’s where he’s at and just wanted to let me Know. I told him I appreciate him Communicating that to me and explained I was sorry I and I admitted I do look up AP sometimes and I struggle still with insecurities about it all. I was just explaining myself a little and his response was
“I’m not sure what to do to fix me that’s why I’m going to start counseling and take a solo trip somewhere and really focus on myself. I feel bad when i need space because it hurts you.”
So now this is triggering some sort of abandonment wounds in me. Why is he talking like we’re splitting and doing our own things for a while I told him if he needs space I’ll give him far and I’m proud of him for getting counseling but then I go on about how I just don’t understand how we got here from Being loving before and telling me how much loves me all the time to now he Striggles and needs space.
He’s now at work and says he doesn’t k know how to respond but he feels like he’s getting grilled because he told me how he felt and i tell him its fine he doesn’t have to now and That I’m not upset.
Next thing I know he says “do you think we need to take some time? I know I need to get away for a weekend deep dive my personal issues and I’m trying to get into therapy. Is that the fix though actually separating and being happy by ourselves ? I just don’t know”
Now I’m full on panicking and telling you go take space if he needs just stop making me thinking we’re okay when we’re not. If that’s what he wants just do it. And I can’t keep doing this feeling like I’m about to be abandoned again.
He then turns it into “woah I was just asking” and”this is why I don’t express my feelings” “this is what I get for sharing my feelings”. And acting like I just went crazy because he just esp expressesd two little things that bothered him.
How would all this make you feel and did I overreact? Sometime I question if I did but this wasn’t about just his expressing the two things its more about the sudden need for space and mentioning of essentially splitting that take.

2024.05.15 06:30 Expensive_Leave3538 Advice?
Advice?
I currently have to live with my family which includes two abusive emotionally immature parents. Today I was taking a shower and my brother fell, he immediately ran to my parents and said I hurt my self. He wasn’t actually hurt. He wasn’t. He wanted attention from my parents and he pretended to be hurt because they were ignoring him. Even telling him to just get out and go away. So yes the five year old pretended. My dad being the sick pos he is noticed this and berated him for it. “Your faking it” “he isn’t actually hurt don’t baby him” when my mom finally gave him some attention. I get out the shower it’s eight o’clock, my dad says my brother needs to do some abc mouse. They’ve been half assing a home school scenario for my brother thinking he’ll turn out better than me. That they can control more of what he sees and hears. So at 8pm he forces him to do spelling and every time he fucks up it’s “what are you doing man?!” “You know this!” “I guess you don’t want your tablet tomorrow” he’s tired?? I say nothing. I bite my tongue. I got get dressed and he’s still going. Just belittling him for everything. “Of course you didn’t finish your food” “why do I even waste my time” “you’re just a time waster”. I say nothing. My brother naive asks my dad how do I not be a time waster? My dad says “by not being lazy” I broke. I say that’s horrible advice, and I fucked up I know. It was on after that. Every disrespectful things he could’ve thrown at me was tossed. “You deserved to be choked” “I’d do it again” “when you have your own kids then you can parent them how you want” (I can’t have children because of them, they know this). So I say enough and I get my dinner and go to my room. Five minutes he controlled himself and then he yelled at me through the door in the pitch black. Busts my door open and starts pointing his finger in my face. I saw a post about what narc rage is like and they described it as a Doberman barking at you, showing their teeth, and jumping. They haven’t attacked you YET, they might not even but the threat is real. My mom starts defending my dad when I told her I didn’t want to talk. Talking is just me listening to her talk and defend why my dad is justified in his behavior. How do I prevent my self from getting so triggered? How do I just let him abuse my brother in the same way that has affected me so detrimentally? I feel like as long as I witness this I can’t let it go. My brother needs to know someone knows right from wrong. That my dad is not the only example he has. That he’s not even a good one. I’ll be working two jobs soon but it’ll be around 5 months before I can afford the expenses of living alone.

2024.05.15 06:29 Longjumping-Run3493 Help me with my MOH speech!
Please let me know how this sounds 💚 I am terrible with words and terrified of public speaking sooooo I need it to sound good while I try not to pass out as I give this speech 💀
-Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us to celebrate these two amazing individuals. Bride, you look absolutely stunning, and groom, you clean up quite nicely too!

-Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us to celebrate these two amazing individuals. Bride, you look absolutely stunning, and groom, you clean up quite nicely too!
- I know a good portion of you here with us tonight but for those I don’t know, hi my name is MOH.
- I met Groom and Bride in high school through mutual friends. While I hung out with bride occasionally and bumped into groom in group settings, it wasn't until a few years later that bride and I would become close.
- bride, It's difficult to put into words just how grateful I am for you, but ill give it my best shot. Thank you for loving me for who I am, even though I'm a bit bullheaded and stubborn. You’re the person I call when I have exciting news to share or need to vent after a tough day. I know my deepest secrets are safe with you and you’ll give me the advice I need, even when it's tough to hear. Thank you for loving my children as your own, even if they are little wild. I can never thank you enough for always being around to support me during those dark days after I had child’s name.. I don’t know how I would of made it these last 9 years with out you. While life has taken us down different paths, we have always made the best effort to keep our friendship as close as possible. Naps on the couch with the dogs and all day hangouts have turned into trips to the zoo and hour long phone calls on your drive home and even longer when you commuted for school. Just know we can never stop our wild days on the boat and ice cream runs to ___, those keep us both somewhat sane. Bride you are kind and loving, genuine to the core and never afraid to speak your mind. You are truly amazing inside and out and i’m so glad I to call you my best friend.
- Groom, I was unsure if we would become friends in the beginning of you and bride’s relationship. You would walk in the door without saying a word, heading straight for the computer room. Now when you walk in, you almost always have some smack to talk, so id say we’ve come a long way. You’re not the type to write some mushy Facebook post professing your love for bride, and If you did, I'd probably think you've hit your head... But words aren’t necessary to see how much you adore her. The way your face lights up when you look at her says it all. Your love for her is unconditional. Thank you for loving bride exactly as she is, for always standing by her as her biggest supporter, and for filling her days with laughter and joy. Even if that means occasionally pushing her buttons just to get a rise out of her. I could not imagine a more perfect person to be her husband.
- Mr. And Mrs. XXXX! I have been dying to say that all day. Thank you for allowing the kids and I to be a part of your special day. May your love continue to grow stronger with each passing day, and may your journey together be filled with laughter, joy, and endless blessings. Here's to a lifetime of happiness and cherished memories. Congratulations, Groom and Bride, I love you both. Cheers!!
