Bard Party Leader: The Inspiring Song "You may spend 2 action points to use a hero's ability in your party without rolling for its roll requirement"
What do you guys think? Balanced? Weak? or OP? Also, are there any easy to use image generators that I can use for creating custom party leaders, I'd be really grateful if ya'll know some.
In terms of the ability composition, I was originally going for "Once per turn on your turn, you may spend 2 action points to use a hero's ability in your party without rolling for its roll requirement" but the official unstable games custom party leader creator only allows up to 120 characters for the ability. I figured removing the first bit since you can't really use its ability twice since there's only 3 action points for you to use in a single turn, what do you guys think? Any comment will be helpful, thanks in advance!

I used to absolutely hate fallout 76 with passion. Played it at launch and yeah.. a lot of bad stuff happened that we've all heard in every YouTube video essay about fallout 76.
I also made a conscious decision not to play any live service games, or any game that includes a battle pass type system because I find it anti-consumer and I just don't want it in my video games so I chose not to support the practice.
Tried coming back every now and then and never really tried to understand why people liked it, I just loaded up did some quests, didn't look into any builds or events or try and learn about all the neat stuff you can do like mutations, different nuke zones etc etc
Like many others I tried again after the TV show and tried to understand the game this time. I decided to learn about how to make a good build, how mutations work, nukes, events daily ops, how to unlock cool things for camp and so on.
I am now sucked in and my brain has been hooked onto the dopamine injecting live service grind of fallout 76.
I now see how live service games can be a rewarding experience, having a longterm game with a character you become attached to is really quite nice. With the promise of more content there is always something to look forward to so it stays interesting.
The amount of build variety is awesome and the game is never super hard so you don't need to min max, you can just make the build you like and you can still do pretty much all of the content without too much stress. I play games to kick back and switch off, so I love how accessible the game's difficulty is. With a VATS build I don't even have to aim!
Its been said but the 76 community is weirdly nice for an online game. I guess most people were originally fans of bethesda's single player games then got into an online game for the first time with 76 and most of them are mature, chill people that don't take games too seriously to the point it becomes toxic.
I still don't like the seasons aspect. The ability to earn most stuff for free is cool but it takes way too much play time to reach the later rewards which contain the stuff you really want. I get that scarcity makes it more valuable if you do get it and dedicated players get rewarded for playing more but it's a little bit too grindy in my opinion. We all have to do things outside the game, I can't play every day for months.
Fallout 1st is far too expensive. I get they need money coming in to keep the new content coming but fallout 1st is too expensive. Wish they would bring that down or give free players the scrap box and ammo box. The game is such a chore without those.
Overall, it's a great game and I'm hooked. Live service can be enjoyable and rewarding but they need to make fallout 1st cheaper and make seasons progress faster.

Oki so I'm currently redesigning my OC (who still doesn't have a name btw) and I'm stuck on choosing an outfit for her; The vibe is supposed to be a mix of punk and flowy fem silhouettes, with lots of elements that resemble either roses, petals or thorns;
all of the outfits have some kind of formal wear (blazers, blouses etc...) that has been ripped/altered because the main concept is her leaving a corporate job to become a punk singeidol; Also, my idea was to use her in a character design portfolio for gaming, so she's probably gonna have a huge weapon-imagine her mic turning into a spiked hammer
Lastly, the color palette is pink, red, black and mint green
(Btw the last pic is the old design and the third pic is a bunch of outfit thumbnails)

Hello! I’m looking for a partner to partake in a flexible enemies to lovers plot. This plot includes aspects of fantasy, action, world building, and other genres I’d be more than happy to discuss. I’ve only used this plot a handful of times and I’d like to expand on it and see what your creative minds can do with it.
Partner wise I’d prefer someone who can write three or more paragraphs and include detail in their responses. I tend to sort of mimic my partners response length depending on the detail I can work off of. There’s no shame in writing a shorter response in less intense moments, it’s hard to add detail when there isn’t too much going on. My schedule is relatively open and I can respond multiple times a day unless something comes up and I would prefer a partner that can do the same.
I’m looking for more aggressive fantasy oriented characters for this plot as I feel like that would encourage conflict here. If you don’t have anything like that I do have some characters I could show you, and if you’re not into any of those we can come up with something you’re comfortable with playing. I don’t want to force anyone to play a role they’re not interested in.
So here’s what I’ve got in mind. Muse A is a creature living off of stealing from a human town. After being discovered, they are chased from their home into an unfamiliar plot of wild land. Unknowingly, this land has already been claimed. It’s the territory of Muse B, and it has been for decades. What ensues next is conflict over this land that can go several different ways.
Very vague, I know. But this is a flexible plot and I don’t want to have every little detail written out. If you’re interested in this plot or would like to discuss it in greater detail feel free to dm me!

Warning : this is probably the longest post I've ever written. It's awful. If you're expecting something short, run for your safety. Otherwise, take your time and have fun.
So Kaiser and Ness have always been pretty interesting characters since their introduction, but with the most recent chapters and especially ever since the Ness flashback, things have been intensifying and there's a lot going on around these two, especially with potential developments that might happen during the PxG match. Definitely some of my favorite characters in the story thematically.
This will be a huge post analyzing, dissecting and aiming to understand the psyches of both Ness and Kaiser, by following their stories individually, as well as how they intertwine together, how their pattern of relationship is very important to the story as a whole, as well as trying to review a lot of information in hindsight that might make a lot more sense now that we virtually have their entire stories.

Part I : Ness, the Wizard

So it all starts with Alexis Ness, a German kid born into a very stereotypical scientist family of reddit atheists, as well as the following sentence : "(my parents) taught me that it's possible to explain everything that happens on earth".
https://preview.redd.it/467quusc7s0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c94fce3eb7d93edfad74f154bcb62b3f0cc072d
This first sentence already sets a very important tone with Ness' character. He is dreamy, he's a child full of wonder with a bit of an obsession for finding magic in things, born into a family that dismisses the existence of unexplainable concepts as a whole and lambasts him for believing in them at all, even as a child. Ness is an irrational being, born into an extremely rational environment, and that fact alone alienates him from his passion, and drives him to keep going until he finds something or someone that will understand him.
Ness has a passion for the unexplainable, not the scientific unexplainable, but more the "incredible" unexplainable, things that seem too fantastic to be believed at first, and yet are still true. He also assimilates his sadness with the lack of understanding from his family among the things that he deems to be unexplainable, whether by his family or himself. Ness has a passion for magic, cannot explain why, and that's part of why he believes in magic so much. His passion is self defined.
And that passion for seeking magic in things, is also what drives him to soccer. The joy that people feel, the roaring fans, the celebrations that come from goals, Ness feels as though soccer is what will allow him to truly bring magic into this world. Which is why I theorize, that with Ness' drive for playing soccer being to bring magic on the field, he might be a self-type ego that seeks to bring magic, the same way Barou seeks the feeling of being the king of the field, or Bachira to become one with the ball (this is a very common theme with self type egos, I might make a post about this one of these days). This is a very important point if we want to understand where Ness' current development in the PxG match could be going.
https://preview.redd.it/2pwr3hio7s0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=467615cdabc6a0ae6cebea3896dd0d4a29f74989
Ness then takes matters into his own hands and trains relentlessly to pass the Bastard Munchen tryouts, the best club in Germany, so he can have a shot at turning his dream into reality. Ness plays quite well and even shows skills that should allow him to be better than the current BM selection, but he runs into a massive problem ; his individual skills do allow him to keep up, but his plays are ineffective. His magic doesn't work on the world, and the biggest reason why is that no one on the field can keep up with his thinking. Ness lacks the partner that will help make his vision come true.
https://preview.redd.it/h3t5pj628s0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20fa753b3d1e362981725295f453e7df8c592712
And that's when a certain someone makes their appearance.

Part II : Kaiser, the Blue Rose

It all starts with Michael Kaiser, a different German child with a very different upbringing, but whose destiny would end up crossing paths with that of Ness.
Kaiser grew up in the ashes of a destroyed family. His dad was a theatre director, his mom was an actress, who ended up leaving his dad soon after his birth. His father, unable to bear the weight of both an unwanted child and a failed love life, ended up sinking into alcoholism, gambling addiction and domestic violence.
His father having wasted his fortune completely and being unwilling to work, Kaiser was forced to learn how to steal very early in his life, but his disgusting father's self loathing, resentment and regret towards Michael's mother still ended up reaching him through his father's constant abuse. The treatment he got from his father was the only definition of love Kaiser has ever had, and he ended up internalizing this notion, as well as the feeling that he was not wanted in this world.
https://preview.redd.it/pbjmwago8s0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8e88e9839891a7c7ac9e26abd27403fde3c1331
Kaiser grew up, and started saving up money from selling the more valuable items that he would steal. For his twelfth birthday, he decided to buy something for himself that would actually allow him to feel alive and closer to his far away objective of leaving his father one day. And that is how he stumbled upon football.
Unlike Ness however, who developed a passion for football simply because he saw magic in it, Kaiser developed an unhealthy attachment to football that would mimic his relationship to his father. It didn't matter how much he abused the ball, the ball wouldn't respond or protest, it'd just stay by his side silently. Kaiser saw in the ball the same form of attachment that his father showed him, he saw himself in the ball, an unwanted piece of trash that would silently take the abuse that was dished out to him. Because that was the only behavior that his father ever showed to him, Kaiser ended up assimilating abuse and violence to love. That is how Kaiser became an abuser himself, which is a very important facet of his character : cycles repeat themselves, and abusers create potential future abusers.
https://preview.redd.it/1nw0aoxs8s0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0fb7ff24ec0a70cd1c141a6084d231931d1c1b0
Where Kaiser's story really begins though is when he is framed for a crime he didn't commit and the police enter their home for a search. Kaiser gets hit by his dad, the police find the money he was keeping from his father, and he's about to lose everything that would allow him to leave this life. Kaiser, at that moment, accepts the abuse again, and decides against his own heart that he'd simply take whatever sentence he gets and start saving up money again once he's out. He instinctively changes his mind when his dad decides to poke a few holes into his soccer ball though.
https://preview.redd.it/419kda1z8s0d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd23734280fee0a5e45b3b2f432dd3a4bc1a4437
Though Kaiser has an awful definition of what love or attachment really is, the love that he developed for football was still as pure as he could muster. And instinctively, as he sees his father about to destroy the only thing he's ever managed to feel attachment towards, Kaiser rises against the odds and fights as hard as he can. As the narrator says it himself, this is when Kaiser's identity was truly born. This is another very important element that we'll have to keep for later.
https://preview.redd.it/bwc3c8i09s0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db6e687a46405976f724c2a652d139f9e8618dd1
Kaiser then goes on to get scouted by a certain PIFA executive named Ray Dark, who heard of the fact that he managed to take out multiple police officers with just a soccer ball. Kaiser is encouraged by Ray Dark to pass the BM tryouts, and is already determined to get as far away as possible from his former life, and this is where Kaiser's ego starts to badly mutate from its purest form, all because of the consequences of his father's abusive behavior : Kaiser is incapable of accepting any form of kindness and is very incline to violence.
Kaiser, from the second he enters the facility and starts training with the rest of the potential recruits, manages to make enemies through his extremely antagonistic behavior. He consistently picks fights, which obviously leads to situations where he's systematically in the wrong, and to people refusing to play with him in the moments that matter the most. This is where the Kaiser Impact is born ; Kaiser decides to create a weapon that won't just help him, but make sure he asserts full and total dominance over others. But he doesn't stop there.
https://preview.redd.it/vru5ubo89s0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47b1282e4c7c8a7e9f351e1624d440b5759a12c7
Kaiser starts studying elements of psychology, and his goal is strictly to find out how to manipulate someone and make sure that they would serve him during matches. He needed a lackey, that would serve him under all circumstances, and the best way to find that lackey was to find someone that was close to breaking under pressure and despair.
And this is where the BM tryouts start.

Part III : Perspectives

This is where the duo meets for the first time, and their perspectives on the situation are very different from one another, but very similar in one aspect : they provide each other with what they need.
https://preview.redd.it/vyrcjzv8as0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d0c94fb7754c4ad6ea8c6cd5eeb352149c4e994
Ness starts out the BM tryout match very hopeful, but realizes that his individual abilities are his only functional tool and that he can't manage to spark magic with the teammates that he currently has. Ness is in a situation of despair, where he is realizing that he might not make it, and that his family was right to treat him the way they did.
Kaiser in the meantime, is in the exact opposite situation. He is alone, certainly, but also not worried : all he is doing is looking for someone with good enough skills, and in a precarious situation whose heart he can safely erode and tame. Ness needs someone to show him that magic does exist ; Kaiser needs a lackey that he can use to reach his goals. Ness needs a friend, Kaiser needs a test subject. Their relationship, is by definition profoundly unequal, and for that reason, Kaiser is also the only one of the two to be aware of that fact.
https://preview.redd.it/v9ezbkfjas0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b0613b95305a64ebc6041d1c2b8a73052a6473a
The rest of the match is pretty obvious : Ness finds a good partner to make his imagination come to fruition, Kaiser finds a dog to feed him passes, they get a hat trick together and are selected for the BM team. The important point though, is that Ness didn't actually find despair in that match : he was on the brink of realizing that he couldn't bring magic alone, but the second he was about to either give up or awaken, Kaiser came to him and became his provider for the magic he was seeking. That is the best way to make Ness' ego, his very being, dependent on Kaiser's existence.
This panel shows this best : Ness' play would've been suboptimal for anyone else, his magic would not have been sufficient for a different player. Kaiser's individual ability however, is so overwhelming that he effortlessly brings Ness the magic he seeks. Ness' magic wouldn't have worked if it wasn't for Kaiser.
Ness has never known what it feels like to create magic alone, and therefore he associates magic to Kaiser's presence. If Kaiser himself fails, that implies a personal failure on Ness' part since it means his magic didn't function. That's an extremely important element to understand for the codependency element of these two characters, and that's part of the reason why Ness has constantly been extremely defensive of every single one of Kaiser's failures so far in the story : the same way Kaiser's dream slowly became his own, his failures feel just as much his as they are Kaiser's.
https://preview.redd.it/0pl31b2abs0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1137ca6530c1ec0ae89b1a7f0a3be49cf24f1ba3
Kaiser then goes on to become a very vicious player that specifically tries to scar his opponents as much as possible. The impossibility that Kaiser strives for, has become something he wants to incarnate for his opponents, an impossible behemoth to slay, the same way his dad was to him. Kaiser acknowledges this, however he associates the feeling of losing to such impossibility to weakness. To Kaiser, the fact that he let his father mistreat him for that long seems to be proof that he used to be a weak person, and that the true way to fight is to become just as evil and incarnate that feeling of impossibility to other people, as he says it to Ness : "Believing in the impossible is a curse, the instant people believe in the impossible is when they decide to give up. It's a survival instinct to guard against heartbreak, that's the way of weaklings, they kill themselves through this curse. Weaklings who dilute the purity of their egos to live longer are what I hate most in this world".
Kaiser has rationalized the abuse that he has gone through by assimilating his behavior to weakness, instead of recognizing this was the behavior of a child trying desperately to survive against impossible odds. The fact that he sees his past behavior as such and that he decided that he should become an abuser himself to get power back over his life, is already proof that his father's abuse won over his ego, and he doesn't know it himself. This is why his ego is fragile and diluted, and that's how he lost his way.
https://preview.redd.it/gnr2pmijbs0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e9c07a3f25650ab84e6cd8b3bc90d301a7d313b

Part IV : The reality of impossibility

This is where the NEL comes in. From what we know of Kaiser's objectives with the NEL, he has come to crush the local japanese ace, to give himself a publicity boost that would either prove to the world that he isn't inferior to Noel Noa, or to get himself a contract that would allow him to get out of his current club, both so he could compete with Noa in a less direct way, and therefore not have to face the impossible task that is destroying the system that has been built around him.
Both his intention of trying to destroy Isagi by showing him how impossible it is to beat him, and his intention to avoid beating Noa directly by instead trying to publicize himself as being a striker of equal mettle, show how his ego has been twisted from what it originally was : Kaiser has become addicted to the feeling of incarnating impossibility to other players and crushing them, and he has become very avoidant of any challenges that could seem impossible to him, the same way his father's abuse seemed impossible to overcome. He has created himself a predatory mentality unfit for a competitor, and he did it all as a survival mechanism to fight against impossible odds.
The problem really starts however, when his plan backfires, and it turns out the japanese ace specifically thrives on impossible challenges and does not stop improving. Isagi Yoichi, by the time of the PxG match, has become the incarnation of the impossible odds that Kaiser usually wants to avoid, but this time he is conflicted since Isagi is also the exact type of player that Kaiser wants to crush : he is forced to face his own fear, and the more the odds are against him, the more impossibility will catch up to Kaiser. Which is exactly what might lead to Ness' awakening.
https://preview.redd.it/cl0fcuo5cs0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eb5a41479308384a1dc7cdb9f4be2a40891ea55
Since Ness attributes his magic to Kaiser's success, seeing Kaiser fail (and maybe even resent him for it), is most likely what will bring Ness to the pit of despair that he got to escape from back in the BM tryouts. Ness will have to face his fear of not being able to bring magic to the world alone. And with what's been foreshadowed, I believe Ness' awakening will come with some sort of cooperation with Isagi, which in turn will make Kaiser realize that he is back to facing the impossible behemoth that he faced not so long ago. This is what will make him revert to his purest ego. But what is his purest ego exactly ?

Final part : Conclusions, and Kaiser's true ego

We finally get to the part where I stop holding everything back and I tell what's on my mind.

1. I'll start with something very important : duos in Blue Lock are always doomed unless they become more than the sum of their parts.

Kaiser and Ness' duo made me realize it, especially with their very obvious parallels to Reo and Nagi, but duos often start out with one of the players (and sometimes both players) attributing a part of their ego to their partner. That right there, is exactly how egos are stifled.
In the case of Kaiser, though his intention was to manipulate Ness, he ended up creating an association in Ness' mind where though Ness sees his purpose in life to bring magic through football, he attributes his ability to bring magic to Kaiser, which means that in Ness' mind, he is incapable of doing it alone. I don't believe that's the case, but for Ness to prove it to himself, he has to try doing it first. The PxG match is the perfect opportunity for this, but that's not all.
https://preview.redd.it/p2zv1za0es0d1.jpg?width=1124&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dad6ddd89aca9f05adb18cc06825f6337f7b3702
Sae and Rin are also a very important example of this, since Sae knew from the start that having Rin associate him to his ego and use him as a reason to play football was a death sentence for both of them. I believe that Sae truly does want to win the Champion's league with his brother, but has let go of that dream and has tried to force Rin to do it as well to make sure both of them would reach their potential before hitting the wall that is the world level.
Reo has always attributed his dream of winning the world cup to the fact that he has Nagi by his side, and cannot really imagine achieving this dream without him. However, if Reo truly wants to evolve, I'm sure a lot of you are already anticipating this, but he has to let go of Nagi and evolve alone, which he most likely will do during the Manshine-Barcha match. Nagi himself doesn't have an objective, and has always improved as a player with the intention of helping Reo achieve his dream, which means that part of his ego is simply helping another player achieve his. Unless the both of them seperate at least temporarily, then Reo will never gain the confidence to achieve his dream alone, Nagi will never gain the ego to have his own dream and play football for the sake of his own passion, and neither of them will be able to cooperate on their common vision of winning together. And the way I know all of this ?
Is because Isagi and Bachira have already showed us the path of how a good duo functions. Bachira almost never awakened his true ego all because his loneliness made him see Isagi as essential to his well being, it forced him to look for players that would be able to keep up with his best football, and when he found them, he already thought he had won. Bachira realized that the only way he could keep playing with the players he admires and wants to rival, is by believing in his way of playing football instead of putting his belief in someone else. This is how duos survive : by having both players becoming better and fulfilled individually, and constantly pushing each other to individually become better before they rely on each other for victory.
https://preview.redd.it/bcjasudces0d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6339a69e35ab6868f134742dbd1b56cd1db4d27

1. To get back to Kaiser and Ness, what that means is that Ness' evolution has to come at the cost of his dependence on Kaiser, and Kaiser's evolution has to come at the cost of the introspection he has to do to understand where his true nature comes from : this specific moment.

https://preview.redd.it/19jdamedcs0d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14f345c0c401e1be17aae850a33fc3faf259303b
My belief is that Kaiser's ego to incarnate the impossible isn't actually wrong, it's just taken from the wrong perspective. What Kaiser was since the very start, isn't a mindless perpatrator of violence that does it out of pleasure for crushing others : What Kaiser is, is a survivor.
\"I'll leave here someday.\"
No matter how tough the situation, no matter how much his father beat him, Kaiser never stopped believing or dreaming that he would one day free himself from his situation and rise against adversity. It might've been a small flame at first, but when his ego truly awakened was when he actually fought back for the first time. Kaiser isn't an impossible being because he is an unbeatable, violent monster, he is an impossible being because he rises against impossible odds no matter what.
\"The boy dreamed about going on a journey someday.\"
He is unfathomably resilient, and that is something that was very specifically cultivated from his experience of victimhood : Kaiser couldn't have become this kind of person if he was simply an abuser the same way his father was (which is currently what is stifling his ego), the only way he can be this impossible being is by going through what he did and surviving.
And in fact, that's also something that been shown in the manga already. After all, the only moment so far where Kaiser has showed us what could be his greatest performance, was when he had to rely on a play Isagi made to get a goal opportunity, and managed to beat 4 defenders (one of them being the best U20), culminating in a goal that's impossible to replicate even for the greatest players. Kaiser might be a self type ego that seeks impossible situations to reach flow.
https://preview.redd.it/rcpi8xb3ds0d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b64e5c2db2df699852631c44c4f308fb3efc417
A player's personality is often reflected through their playstyle : that's the case with Kaiser, with his KI symbolizing his impossible dominance, and his MV symbolizing his manipulative way of playing with people ; which is why I don't believe it's a coincidence that the one time Kaiser has truly made a play no one else could replicate was when all odds were against him. And yet ironically, this is also the goal that Kaiser hates the most, because he still hates his younger self for not having fought back until the last moment. What he sees as weakness, is what is actually his greatest strength.
Anyways if you've read this far, thank you very much and congratulations, and if you have any, please tell me your thoughts in the comments.

Suspect #1: ROSE WATERS

Season 1: Mental break at the Sinner's school taking a knife. Has been discharged from Radley. Very religious. Had two kids Archie and Angela.
Season 2: It's now confirmed that she was the person Davie saw at the soup kitchen!! So last seen actually kinda sane getting food. But with a run in with Davie that could trigger anything. Imogen and Davie left in a hurry after. First, second, and third victim were horny teenagers. Rose Waters would slut shame Angela.
Pros- religious and uses knife like Bloody Rose. Producers keep saying it's her and we already know which is so different for tv. Also she slut shames just like Bloody Rose's targets.
Cons- was sane in her last scene. Seems a little old to be Bloody Rose. No motive to start killing horn dogs now. Body doesn't match imo. If her face really was skinned, she sounds have died...?

Suspect #2: MS. BEASLEY

Season 1: Very religious. Wailing exactly like Rose Waters. Mentally unwell, submissive prior, possibly on meds prior. Knew Sheriff Beasley rapped Angela Waters. Eventually takes things into her own hands and stabs Sheriff Beasley repetitively when he threatened Kelly. Knife holding similar to Bloody Rose.
Season 2: religious gets another step connecting it to why Kelly is a born again virgin, as her mom's idea. Interesting since Bloody Rose's first three kills were all nonvirgins. Now sane seemingly. More mentally well than before the show even started tbh. Even more religious, wants to "save all that is worthy". Double standard with the virgin stuff bc she knew Tom was a rapist.
Pros- religious and uses knife like Bloody Rose. Wants her daughter to be a virgin, just like Bloody Rose kills those who aren't. Has motive to start now since she had hella trauma, killed her husband and lost her daughter. Been in every episode.
Cons- looks pretty normal. Mentally seems better than before. Unless that's because she is killing...

Suspect #3: DR. SULLIVAN

OG PLL: has son, Mona blackmailed her regarding him or smth to prevent her from telling the og Liars that Mona was A. Gave shitty advice like telling the girls to stay apart.
Season 2: she was a punk when she was in high school. Still gives crappy counseling imo. Uber involved in the girls and their family's lives. Is Imogen's bad reaction a side effect or a suspicious prescription?
Pros- her entrance is sus to some people. Actress said eventually she has alterer motives. We never got closure on what Mona had on her. She was a bad kid in highschool... like the sinners? Been in every episode. ~ some theorize Johnny is her son! Who's familiar with Rosewood...?
Cons- never had a psychotic break. Encouraged the girls to have hookups but Bloody Rose is killing those who hook up. No stabbing parallels the others. Too tall. Yeah she's really tall right? I don't think Blood Rose is.
Personally, based off the interview, I think she has a past in Millwood and knew the sinners with her punk history, but I don't see her as Bloody Rose. Def hiding smth, but not that.

Suspect #4: CHIP'S MOM

Season 1: seemly truly nice, knows Tabby well. Skinny neck like Bloody Rose!! Has the body for it.
Season 2: PISSED at the girls and mostly Tabby for defacing Chip's name. Mentally unwell? Thinks the Liars are liars.
Pros- hates the Liars. Perfect body for it!! Good timing to start.
Cons- hates the Liars, Bloody Rose is targeting people acting on sexual urges. Not the Liars yet. Also was not at all in 2x03.

Bonus mentions!

Shawn's Mom: doesn't like Noa and Shawn hooking up. Screentime for her seems random since Noa is getting with Jen anyway. If it was her though you'd think she'd of just killed Noa by now.
Kelly: I mean if she is even Kelly? She can still be Karen!!
Lola: does she know something? She was the first person we know to actually see Bloody Rose (and live). Yet doesn't remember anything the next morning?? Doesn't even recognize Ash?? Then proceeds to take Mouse to a creepy place the next episode! Hm you can remember that??
Jen: as one if you suggested!! Interesting time to join the show, suspicious, no? No new characters can be trusted! She asking too many questions too.
A Secret Twin: who doesn't love a good twin theory!

Hi everyone, I updated Fedora to version 40. I use GNOME as DE. I'm Italian but I use an American layout keyboard and I need to write a lot of accented vowels. Before updating Fedora I used the shortcut ALT + ~ and the vowel to accent and everything worked without problems. Now, although all the settings are the same as before and the Compose Key is enabled and set with the right ALT key, the shortcut no longer works. Can you help me?

Hello!!! I would very much appreciate help with not getting scammed, haha.
Budget: $1400+, but less than $2000 (USD)
OS: Windows!
Location: Illinois, but three hours away from Chicago. HOWEVER, I'll be near Washington, D.C. for a while, so if you have recommendations specific to there, now is the time!
Uses: I want to be able to play the newest games on it at a stable 60 FPS (when developers actually release them at stable framerates), and I'd like to be able to run these games at High graphics settings, with things like good shadows, ray tracing, etc. I don't need 120+ FPS, though, I (personally) can't actually see that much.
Overclocking?: No, the idea of burning out my PC scares me lol
I also want to be able to use it for art, so if you have recommendations for monitors with good color, that would be perfect!
I have always used gaming laptops due to an on-the-move lifestyle, so I literally only have a desk, a deskmat, a mouse, and headphones.
I need: monitor, keyboard, case, everything inside the case I'm willing to get a SSD, especially since I have so much digital art. If that pushes me over budget, that's okay, I'll save for it.
Thank you in advance for your time!

Hey all, Apex 4 arrived today, its pretty sweet! Feels good to use, and the customisation is great.
Does anyone know what the FN (circle next to home) button does in pc mode? I know in switch mode its used as the screenshot button, but does it do anything as an xinput controller? Any way to map it to a keyboard button or similar?
Cheers.

So, the BLU ssj3 kid Goku was a mainstay on my GT team prior to getting LF SSJ4 Goku zenkai’d. He’s a fun unit but there are some things I would like to see if he ever got zenkai’d, mainly revolving around his arts costs and his (now idealized) support role. If he does get zenkai’d, I want all arts costs to be lowered. It hurts him in combos when you pull a full hand and only get 1 ki back from using a green (bump recovery from 20 to like 40 or sumn). If we are to give cover null, I’d say either first card for 5 counts or on green for five counts (AOE card reload). I would also suggest some form of sub count reduction on the green as well, from like 1-3, in order for him to be used as a support unit. Again, he gets a full hand from the green and it’s a short animation. On main, maybe more sub count reduction and give allies permanent ki recovery and inflicted damage. I would suggest like a zenkai kaioken goku-style passive where you build up to like 20 or 30% extra damage and ki recovery, done in spurts of 10. As for what it would buff, GT would be nice because outside of his flaws in his kit and as a unit, he’s a very good bench character for like kids teams. He’s got an amazing Z ability and the new LF GTku doesn’t have a dedicated buffer, so this kid Goku could be that. This would make this kid Goku be a good pick for a GT team, though it sounds really powerful now that I read it over. excuse me for yapping lmao
Edit: also meant to say to give the basic zenkai abilities too like extra damage, extra defense, and lvl 1 cds, even when he has the level 2 on entry for 10 counts

I came up with an original plot for a fic. If the show it is based on is realistic, I created a fantasy plot that isn’t related to the original work at all.
A lot of people liked it and said, “Woah, this is pretty good, maybe you should use the same plot to make your own original story with your own original characters instead.” The main characters are not very recognizable (can be replaced easily, since it’s an AU and I only used their names and didn’t really follow the plot of the show) and the fandom is very niche.
This is allowed, right? I mean I’m not going to assume it’s going to be easy to get published, but since the story is vastly different from the original work, I can rework it using my own original characters, right?

About an hour ago my laptop's volume started going up and doing by itself, as in constantly flickering a few points up and a few points down.
I tried restarting it about 5 times, updated my Nvidia Drivers,Amd Drivers, disabled vanguard , unplugged my mouse and keyboard. Plugged headphones in then took them out, tried external speakers. To me the problem seems to be some sort of software issue, since as soon as my laptop gets to the log in screen, the volume bar appears and starts changing its volume +/- 2 points. I'm using windows 11 and have updated it to the latest version to see if it would fix it.
I can't interact with the onscreen bar, but I can change the volume from the volume mixer.
Does anyone know what could be causing this / how I could fix it
ive added a video below to show what it looks like
https://streamable.com/3ek5oo

The state of my character at hitting level 100…

• making way through Pit (at level 70 currently)
  
• I have most glyphs for my builds at 21
  
• most of my gear is grater affix +1 at 4/12 master working
  
• none of my gear is remotely close to best in slot for my build (searching for those + to skills gloves / chests).
  

First off, I can tell it’s going to take a bit if not be impossible to achieve best in slot gear rolls - this is amazing, finally a grind to the loot. It also gives a lot of joy to get a piece of gear that is 2/3 greater affix rolled on stuff I’m looking for.
I love the bricking of items. You can find a nice upgrade and completely miss your tempering. For me this adds more grind and makes BiS items even more impressive. Love it.
Hopefully we see corrupted items or cool new upgrades in the future to chase… maybe super rare 1 time temper mats.
For the Pit…

• I wish I could have the option to run last level. Meaning, if I’ve cleared 70 but want to farm tier 40… I have to scroll down to 40 each time. Would be great if it saved the last run on a button to queue into.
  
• Would love to see the Pit run ( or the boss part ) get a little more interesting. Hellborne / bosses (designed for dungeons tight quarters fighting), start appearing in numbers to kill you at higher tiers.
  
• Maybe a modifier with gold to target boss material rewards / item types rewards / etc.
  
• Needs a little more density. I’ve hit the end of the 2nd portal a few times and had to back track for kills. I’m a player who tends to clear everything so I wouldn’t expect this.
  

Lastly,
Please don’t nerf gold pits - for the first time in Diablo 4 history I’m not fully decked with no use of gold at level 100. I actually have stuff to do… it’s quite fun.

Please hide my identity.
Sorry for a really long message. I just want to rant about my trauma as a 1st year Klasmeyt in this blue and white school.
First sem was horrible but this sem is worst.
It started during the preliminary period of second semester, there were 2 weeks na wala kaming prof on our computing 2 course, but suddenly a professor naming M.L.C. and said to us that he will be gone for atleast 3 weeks because he has to attend a seminar on Singapore. So he gave a substitute learning material for us kasi wala din siyang hawak na syllabus and learning modules about the subject, So he gave his personal YOUTUBE ACCOUNT where he teaches so many topics, pero useless din ito kasi nga hindi namin alam kung ano-ano yung mga need namin panoorin. He also said The mathematics department is going to send a replacement professor for us. But none came. So much time was wasted waiting for a replacement professor for a 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM class.
But the time came and he got back for teaching us on preliminary period. Sobrang self-entitled niya like using mathematical symbols that were unfamilliar to us. But not only that, He was giving late announcements na walang klase to the point na 4:00 PM na kami naghihintay, dun palang siya magchachat sa GC namin na hindi siya makakapunta.
And at the start of midterms period, he said to us that he will resign because of personal reasons, so new substitute professor will be provided by the mathematics department. Mr. Ignacio was reassigned as our professor and yeah as you've expected, Bagsakan era. Only 2 (their grades was 2.25 and 3.00) out of 16 students passed on our course. Out of desperation, I started cheating on his exams, and whenever i looked around during exam, It's not only me that cheat and use calculators, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE. But i don't want to cheat anymore, it destroys my integrity and character.
He would come late in class, and immediately start giving QUIZ EVERY MEETING for only 15 MINUTES to do. This time is not enough, and his practice examples were not enough.
Mathematics was really my weakness, but I can keep up if I have a strong foundation in it. However, I was part of a K-12 program Pandemic Era where my calculus subjects (Pre-Cal and Basic Cal) were online, and we did not have a professor during my senior high school days. Kaya kung wala akong magandang nasimulan dito sa course na to, wala talaga.
I know matagal ng nirereklamo si Mr. Ignacio in this school, but why? parang walang action ang school dito. Because of this, I'm really fucked up, I'm really traumatized. I might resort into killing myself.

Hi fellow Archers!
I'm running EndevourOS and set up my system 100% by following the ArchWiki and using the bundled graphical EOS installer. I’m using KDE Plasma on Wayland. My laptop’s model is ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713QR-ES96. I have provided the output of lsusb down below:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:1866 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. N-KEY Device Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 003: ID 13d3:3563 IMC Networks Wireless_Device Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub 

Everything seems to be working fine except for the keyboard backlight. The backlights do work. But sometimes, after waking up from suspend, when I turn the backlight brightness up, only a few keys light up. Others remain off no matter what I do. I have also observed that the few aforementioned keys that light up are the same ones. The problems does persist after a suspend or a reboot. But a cold boot seems to fix the issue so far.
I have tried everything listed on the Keyboad Backlight ArchWiki page and the problem still persists. The issue seems to occur randomly at times. Can’t find a solid way to reproduce it.
Here's the output of # systemctl status keyboard-brightness.service, as instructed in ArchWiki:

○ keyboard-brightness.service - Set keyboard brightness after resume Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/keyboard-brightness.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2024-05-16 17:51:47 +0530; 21min ago Duration: 19h 3min 36.367s Process: 6493 ExecStart=bash -c cat brightness >> /vatmp/kbd_brightness_current (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 6585 ExecStop=bash -c sleep 3s && cat /vatmp/kbd_brightness_current > brightness && rm /vatmp/kbd_brightness_current (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 6493 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CPU: 10ms May 15 22:48:07 rog17 systemd[1]: Starting Set keyboard brightness after resume...

How can I solve this problem and make my keyboard backlight reliable? I don’t know exactly what information or logs to provide, so let me know if anything is required.

The characters i remember were Izuku, Mei, one guy who was using drones to fight because his quirk had no combat capabilities, and an Irish girl with a Nuclear quirk that she used to power a massive laser that cut through supports in the USJ roof.
Might have also been a support course student, not at the USJ, that had a copper hair quirk.
Sorry if that's not enough, but any help would be appreciated :)

TL:DR any one knows a keyboard shortcut to enable edit message feature?
I love learning as many keyboard short cuts as possible for operating a windows PC as I find them massive time savers, the current work I do I often edit the body of recieved emails to leave notes for other people to action.
Currently i only need to use the mouse to click on more move actions > Edit message. From there I switch back to the keyboard for navigation and closing/saving my notes in the body of the email.
Does anyone know a short cut to enable the edit message feature? I've tried googling but no success

It's been a rocky start to the year, but I was still able to chip away at this behemoth of a quest. I've finally arrived at the Timeskip, and what is considered the halfway point of the series (Even though the series is not done yet)
Stats:
-Episodes: 516/1104
-Movies: 11/15
-TV Specials 4/13
-OVAs 3/7
-Shorts 3/4
Percent Complete: Roughly 47%

• Even though this is the halfway point of the series, I'm not 50% done with this yet. Speaks heavy on how back loaded Post-Timeskip is....and a harbinger of things to come.
• I didn't do posts on Marineford or Post War (Just had a lot going on), but Marineford was of course fantastic. All your favorites in one spot duking it out on the highest level of the One Piece world. Pacing would be a but stiff at times (and the Hancock simping over Luffy jokes got a bit old) but on the big moments, the anime hits dead center. Loved Whitebeard's VA, and Luffy's' VA is once again doing phenomenal performances going through Luffy's extreme emotions at this point in the story. It's really her best work in the series.
• Post War was also really good. Again my comments about the stiff pacing still exists, but at this point, if you're this far in the game, you've accepted it. Dadan's portrayal was a personal favorite, and it was a nostalgic joy to hear Naruto's VA voice the titular Sabo, but what was with that Naguri filler? I'm def torn on if I really appreciate the inclusion of that anime only character. Otherwise, a great and fitting ending to the first half of One Piece.
• I'll call it now, I don't see myself finishing the rest of this series this year. However, I do think I can make it to the Front Doorstep of Wano, then I can use 2025 to finish Wano and Egghead.

GO TO NEW WORLD!!
