Hi everyone, there's a lot of tension around Remix and it's shortcomings, and I'd like to both consolidate feedback I've heard, as well as take a moment to appreciate the good things about Remix. Positive constructive feedback is just as important as negative constructive feedback, and there is a place for both in these types of discussions. Thank you for your time!
What Worked for Remix:

• Remix has so much potential, and could/should become a staple for limited time events with other expansions using the information we have now.
• Reusing old content in a limited time event gives players a ton of stuff to do without requiring an excessive amount of developer resources. It also gives new players a chance to explore old content, and veteran players a chance to reminisce.
• This type of event is exactly what we need during the downtime between the current expansion and the next.
• Allowing players to more easily acquire rare or grindy collectibles long after an expansion released is great. Adding brand new collectibles is excellent, too! (The chicken backpack is top-notch)
• Using Remix as an alternative way to level characters before the next expansion, while getting players together to do it together, is brilliant.
• Being able to run dungeons, scenarios and raids even while not max level is great so that players can play together regardless of how long they've played Remix.
• Adding incentives to level alts, such as bonus Bronze when you reach level 50/60/70, is great, and there should be more incentives like those to keep the event populated throughout it's runtime (and worthwhile when it's over).
• Infinitely scaling power can be very fulfilling, if done correctly. It was a huge appeal for Remix to begin with!
• One-shotting bosses is fun (albeit a little cheesy), but only if everyone can participate.
• Keeping things simple with one currency in the form of Bronze is good, as long as acquisition rates are proportional to time/effort spent.
• Allowing players to fly immediately, giving players 36-slot bags and making inventory management largely trivial is excellent and should be standardized if Remix is to return.
• Prismatic gems are great as an additional layer to power progression and add choice in how you want to budget your stats.
• Cogwheel gems giving you access to other mobility tools from other classes is fantastic!
• Meta gems are fun and flashy, even if some are (much) better than others.
• Tinker gems are extremely cool and flashy, and the diversity in gems is great.
• I think it's safe to say that most people were extremely interested in the premise of Remix. If appropriate changes can be made to the game mode, should Remix return in the future, I think people will really look forward to it again.

What Didn't Work for Remix:

• Power scaling is wildly disproportionate to player level and gear level. As you level up, you begin to be proportionally weaker to how you were doing 10 levels ago.
• Fresh level 70 characters are dramatically weaker and squishier than they should be in instanced content.
• Item level upgrades are way too expensive, and because they use the same currency as mounts, toys, etc. you often have to choose between power or collectibles in an event that wants you to have both.
• Gems are great as mentioned earlier, but they are burdensome without an add-on.
• Cloak power is not quite as account-wide as people were led to believe, and the account-wide scaling that does exist is underwhelming.
• Players who took advantage of frogs and similar grinds received so much Bronze that even with hotfixes, they are impossibly ahead of other players in terms of item level upgrades. Even with the cloak rollback, the power disparity is practically unchanged. My understanding is that most people don't care that players exploited the frogs, they just care that they will probably never catch up to them.

Some Solutions (please share your own, too!):

• Power scaling as you level up needs to be adjusted. You should feel like you're getting stronger as you level up, not weaker.
• Item upgrade prices should be dramatically reduced, and going forward there should be a second currency for just item level upgrades so you don't have to choose.
• Some sockets (particularly Tinker gems) should be equipped and managed differently, such as the old Glyph UI or in similar fashion to the Narcissus add-on.
• You should be able to trade gems account-wide. It's odd that you can trade them to other players, but you can't mail them to alts.
• Cloak power for alts should be completely account-wide for same-level characters. As it stands, two level 70 characters on your account do not fully share their cloak progression. Also, '+% Experience' should change to '+% Bronze' while you are level 70.
• Better oversight on potential farm spots before Remix launches, and quicker action being taken to prevent such a disproportionate gap between "froggers and non-froggers".

I certainly didn't cover everything, so please share your own thoughts. I know that Remix is hotly debated, I'm of the opinion that it is excellent but flawed. Please remember to be kind to one another and remember that this event can be great, but only if we show our support for it!

i'm working on a novel and would like to know if anyone could tell me any improvements i could make to the first chapter and prologue
Prologue
The day had started the same way it had for the past two years. The only difference was that I was going home. The hallway was crowded with people walking to and from their classes. Everyone was crowded next to each other so the halls were making the area feel claustrophobic. All the people talking mixed with the summer heat made me feel like I was locked in a sauna. I walked with Preston to the last class we would ever have together and as usual he was smiling. I never got why he always smiled even in situations where people should be sad he still smiled. He knew what today meant for me and he tried to keep light of the situation. I kept my head down away from what was ahead of me. My mind was too clouded about returning to see my family to notice anything in front of me. I walked into another student. It felt like I had walked into a wall. I knew immediately I had walked into tree. I stumble onto the ground and the commotion around me slows down to make room for us. He turned his bulky body around and apologized profusely without saying a word even though I had walked into him. He helped me off of the ground before hurrying down the hall.
“Alexandria, are you doing okay?” Preston said he had tilted his body downward so I had to look down to look him in his eyes. The way he was standing made him look like an idiot but he didn't seem to care. The way he acted made me laugh, which caused his smile to widen.
“I'm doing fine, just got lost in my head.”
“Thinking about how you’ll leave soon,” he said
“Was it that obvious?” He was the only person I told about me being an exchange student. I came to spend high school in Newkinawa and he was the only person I ever hung out with.
“I see what you mean,” he said “Newkinawa is a beautiful place with beautiful people to live in it…myself included”
“You wish,” I say with a smile we continue walking through the hallway “I'm just not excited to go back yet”
After I say that his smile grows wider “So you will miss me after all”
“I wouldn't say that much” I responded whilst smiling.
We had made it to our last class only to see it closed with a sign labeled “Uma incident” Uma was a student known for messing with the chemistry lab and destroying school property in the process. I've never actually met her but Preston says “She's a little weird but still nice”
“Guess class is canceled for today,” Preston remarked with a smile “Wanna go out to the court till the bell rings.”
“Sure let's go” I respond
The place we ate every day was outside. It used to be a tennis court before I moved in. Now they put trees and flowers all over the place. Preston really liked the blue color of the flowers but it just never clicked for me. I look over at Preston and he's staring up at the sky. There are a number of clouds in almost enough to block the sun but it still pokes its rays through and lands on Preston's face. The clouds swim in front of the sun till they block out the sun's light. Preston faces towards me.
“I'm gonna miss you Alexandria” he says
“You know you can just call me Alex,” I replied. I start to smile again. “I'll miss you too!" He smiles toward me again as we get up to leave as the clouds start to clump together and rain slowly falls. As we're walking back to the school there's a loud tearing sound followed by screams as the ground shakes.
The ground tears itself apart as the dirt and stone erupt from the ground. The sky blackens and a pale blue light escapes the earth. Then creatures erupt from the ground in a violent ejection from the earth creating a white pillar diffusing as they reach higher in the air. Some are clawing their way out of the cracks like maggots out of a corpse. People are swept into the updraft screaming for their lives.
The creatures descend like a tidal wave and tear apart any people caught in their path. They storm out of the crack in hundreds as more cracks in the earth form. Me and Preston started running away as people were screaming behind us. A girl running next to us has her legs slashed by a creature. The monster begins to tear open her chest as she chokes on her own blood. The monster shovels her lungs and innards into its decrepit mouth. Me and Preston keep running until we're met at the entrance of the school and we catch the attention of a monster as it begins to savagely rush toward us. The monster resembles ghosts my father told me about. But this one looks monstrously horrific. It floats in the air and opens its mouth so wide it nearly replaces its entire torso; its jaws hold savage teeth each the same old gray color of its body. Its eyes glow a rotten yellow color through the dark. It stretches out its arms showing its giant hands and claws like fingers. It swipes at us leaving a giant claw mark on the door behind us but Preston ducks my body down to avoid the attack. We run around it as the monster swaps its focus to another bystander. Screaming past us. Me and Preston run into the parking lot as people scream around us. We hide next to a car.
“What the hell is happening!?” I yell to Preston. More of the creatures fly over us and swoop down to people like vultures on roadkill devouring the fleeing people.
Preston starts to breathe heavily ”we need to get out of here and someplace safer”. As we were talking one of the monster phases through the car we were hiding next to forcing us to run into the street.
“Lets go to your house till things cool down” i say to Preston through panted breaths
“Wait couldn't we head to your house instead” Preston says.
“Why would that matter your house is closer anyways” i respond
“But-” Preston is interrupted by two creatures swooping above us to grab another person. The two monsters begin to pull the person apart while he writhes in pain before having his flesh be torn in half and having his organs be devoured.
“Come on lets go!!” I say as I grab his hand and run even faster.
By the time we reach Preston's house any living person is gone. On the street are just corpses laying torn and mutilated on the roads and sidewalk. The air in the neighborhood feels cold despite the season being summer. When I walk down the street I can still hear the occasional horrific wail the monsters give off. We move closer to Preston's house and I can see him sweating. He looked more worried than before when the creatures were chasing us and he kept darting his eyes away from his home.
“Preston, are you feeling okay?” he doesn't respond to my question and keeps darting his eyes. He walks slowly behind me and as I reach for the door handle and when I touch it it feels nearly freezing. I wrap my hoodie around my hand and slowly open the door. The house is quiet so me and Preston creep further into his house. The inside is cold and damp as if we were locked in a freezer. The further we move into the house the louder a subtle chewing sound is heard.
“It sounds like rats are eating a dead cow over there” I whisper. Preston continues to stay silent behind me. We slowly walk closer towards the kitchen and the sound gets louder and louder and louder until we reach the room.
We're met with a rancid smell of vomit and blood. My blood starts to run cold and every instinct in my body is telling me to run. I can feel Preston breathing get heavier as we get closer. We turn the corner and see Preston's mom lying on the ground dead with one of the creatures hunched over slurping her intestines. The sight causes me to vomit alerting the monster to our presence. The creature turns around and its mouth turns into a mortifying grin as it flies into Preston's moms body. The corpse begins to rise and spur splashing blood over the kitchen. When the corpse stops spasming it picks itself up from the ground and with glazed over eyes it holds its intestines in its hand and gives us the same grin it did when it was outside her body. The possessed corpse lunges at me and starts to chase me around the kitchen. The body is running into the walls and cabinets spraying its blood and other loose organs around the area as I'm avoiding its assault. The corpse leans over and ejects one of its loose intestines towards me, wrapping me in it. It pulls me towards it so fast I'm flung towards the ground. The corpse limbers over to me and raises its free hand aiming for my head. The creature's deranged smile causes the corpse’s cheeks to tear apart. It places both of its bloodied and demented hands on my face and starts to press my skull into the ground. I struggle to breathe. The room starts to get dark and blood escapes my head.
Until Preston jumps on top of his mothers corpse with a kitchen knife and repeatedly stabs it in the head. The possessed body tries to shake him off but he keeps stabbing, blood gets in on his face and tears start to escape his eyes. The creature violently ejects from the corpse's mouth causing her head to nearly explode and Preston stops stabbing the body. The body falls over in a splash of blood and organs. The monster leaves phasing through the roof leaving Preston crying over his mother's body. As the blood mixes with the tears he collapses to his knees crying. I walk over and hug him as the air around us turns bitter and the chill of death leaves the room and us with it.
Chapter 1 Eclipse
It's been 2 months since the apocalypse started. We've kept ourselves alive by looting grocery stores and houses, we hide from the creatures as we have no way to fight back against them. Preston came up with the idea to call them glanter’s. He’s looking better since we left his family home but I can tell something is wrong with him that he's not telling me. Everytime I ask him about it he tells me it's no big deal. I asked him earlier today and he just told me
“don't worry about it, I'm over it” without even looking at me. Now we're walking through the street and I'm walking behind Preston, I can barely see his head past the giant bag we're both carrying on our backs we use to carry supplies. I look up at the sky and it's still pitch black except for the moon giving us any amount of light. Preston turns around to face me.
“Let's check out that house, it might have some cool stuff in it” he points to a white house to our right. The house is a two story building with steps leading to the front door. There's a generator poking out from the backyard. The driveway is empty save for a couple of dried blood stains and tire marks. It's similar to the other houses in the neighborhood except for a couple broken windows.
“Sure why not” We head over to the house and I see something shining on the side of the house in the corner of my eye. I turn my head to look at it closer but it quickly disappears before I can see it clearly.
“Probably squirrel or something” I mumble to myself. Preston walks up the stairs to the house and I walk up the steps behind him as a breeze blows past my face. Preston tries to turn the door knob but the door is locked. I start to pull out a lockpick I grabbed at the store earlier. I motion towards Preston to move out of the way as I kneel down to pick the lock. It takes me a couple of minutes to unlock the door so I walk inside the house and Preston follows behind me while closing and locking the door. The doorway of the house leads to a dark room so I take a flashlight out of my bag to illuminate the area. Were put into the living room and bookshelves are on the walls and a large TV sat in front of a large black couch with smaller chairs surrounding it. Dust is covering every surface of the room and spiderwebs litter the corners of the walls. The area smells like moth balls and there's a lack of blood anywhere nearby.
“Guess the owners got out before the Glanter’s got in, '' I say to Preston. When he doesn't respond I turn around and he's already looking further into the house. When I find him he's managed to find a flight of stairs that lead to a lower portion of the house.
“I'll check on him later,” I think to myself as I headed towards the kitchen to see if we could restock on food. I walk past a bedroom and remark on how childish it looked. The walls were painted with blue and green stripes and a bunk bed sat on the right wall. There's a chest at the foot of the bed so I walk over and lift the top off of it. The box is layered with children's toys, a multitude of dolls, bears, and figures all jut out of the box. I notice a small robot toy and inspect it in my hands.
The cold metal makes my hand shiver and the sharp body shape makes the robot bigger than my hand. There's red lining around the robot's buttons surrounded by the cold gray of the robot's “skin”. It reminds me of a toy my little brother had. My heart feels heavy as I worry about what happened to my family. If they're alive, dead, or worse…possessed. The thoughts send a chill down my spine but I push them aside for now. I put the toy in my bag and exit the bedroom.
I can see the kitchen is down the hallway so I walk down the hall and enter. The kitchen is pretty clean except for a couple of dishes in the sink and the dust. There's a table seated for 3 people in the center of the room. I start opening the cabinets in search for any food or water. There's boxes of cereal leftover on top of shelves and a mix of chip bags and cookies in neat boxes stationed in the cabinets.
“Score,” I say to myself as I begin to put the snacks into my bag. When the cabinets are empty I look inside the fridge. The inside of the fridge ran out of power so most of the food inside is rotted. There are a couple of bottles of water in the front so I shove those in my bag. There's also a bag of oranges that still seem to be healthy in the back. I grab them and toss them on the table. There's rotten sandwich meat hidden in the drawer of the fridge.it smells like a dumpster outside of a butcher shop. I wrinkle my nose at the smell. I look around the kitchen for any bread with no luck.
I continue to look through the fridge until I hear Preston scream from another room. Immediately I bolt out of the kitchen leaving my bag behind and run towards the lower part of the house. I run down the stairs and nearly trip on the steps. The stairs lead to a big room. There are posters to tv shows and movies I don't recognize. The walls are painted black and there's a bear skin rug on the floor. I notice Preston standing next to a really big TV hyperventilating. I walk over to him and ask him.
“Are you ok? What happened?”
He talks through deep breaths “I… saw a… spider.”
“What?!” I respond in confusion.
“It was really big and I had jumped at my face”
“Sure it was.” I say while laughing “Let's go upstairs there's some food in the fridge we can eat”
“Wait, I think you should check this out.” He says while pointing towards one of the walls. I grab Preston's flashlight off the floor and face it towards the wall. Hanging halfway off the wall is a large map labeled Newkiwana scavenger hunt of 76.
“I think we should take it,” Preston says “You can read a map right?”
“A little but I'm not the best at it,” I say to him “can you read a map?”
“it shouldn’t be too hard it’s mainly pictures any way I'm sure I can figure it out”
I walk over to the wall where the map is hung there are trophies covering tables and shelved in their own personal cases one of them reads “1st place 100-meter swimming competition for 1986 Zack Hemmingway” and another one reads “2nd place 100-meter swimming competition for 1989 Zack Hemmingway”
“Guess this guy really liked swimming,” Preston remarks while staring at a wall of newspaper clippings. All of them are about the same person in swimming competitions. All labeled different things like “a new record for Zack “the dolphin” Hemmingway”,
‘Zach Hemmingway our star plans for the future” all the newspapers are about this kind he has paler skin and a bulky enough build to swim pretty well. Most of the pictures have him coming out of the water in a pool, his long black hair soaked and sitting at his shoulders. Another one has him sitting at a desk over a pile of books and his hair in a knot , “vicious wipeout ends the Dolphins career”, and “ex-swim champ Zack Hemmingway found in a drunken stupor outside strip club.
“Everyone has their own hobbies I guess,” I say as I take the map off of the wall and fold it up. “Sucks what happened to Zack though” I walked over to Preston’s bag and put the rolled map in one of the pockets. I walk back up the stairs and Preston grabs his bag and follows behind me.
We make our way towards the kitchen and Preston starts looking through the fridge for anything to eat. I grab an orange from the table and throw it at his head. The fruit bounces off his head and rolls on the floor. He turns around and grabs the fruit from the floor
“Why did you throw an orange at me?”
“It's the only food we have unless you plan on eating spoiled a sandwich“ He starts to peel it while walking towards the table. We both take a seat and start to eat the oranges from the bag. He plants his feet on top of the table and bites into the fully peeled orange. I grab a water bottle from a bag and start to drink from it as Preston says.
“I saw a dvd player in that man cave downstairs we could watch a movie if it still has power”
“Sure it could be fun.” Me and Preston spend the rest of our time eating until the bag of oranges is emptied and we head back downstairs. Preston grabs the DVD player from under the table and blows the dust off the top of it; he plugs it into the wall as I plop myself onto the couch. He plugs the DVD player into the TV and sits on the recliner next to me. He presses a few buttons on the remote and the TV lights up. I squint my eyes at how bright it is. It's the most amount of light I've seen that didn't come from a flashlight. I notice there's a box filled with DVDs. I pull the box over towards me. I ruffle through the box and see movies like Silence of the Lambs, Terminator 2, and Home alone.
“Dude some of these came out just before the world turned inside out” I say to him.
“Really? Let's play one.” He responds. I toss him Terminator 2 and he puts it into the DVD player.
We spend the next couple hours watching movies and laughing together. It's some of our only moments of peace we’ve had since the end of the world and to me it's the most fun I've had yet. We're putting in the next DVD when there's a loud crash outside and the TV shuts off. Preston goes behind it to see if it's still plugged in.
“I think the generator outside is busted” i say
“It seems that way” Preston replies while backing away from the tv” i'm gonna go check it out”
“Don't worry I got it” I say as I hop out of my chair. Preston waves goodbye as I head up the stairs. I make my way back through the hallway leading to the living room and front door. I reach the door and start to turn the knob. I open the door wide as a car speeds down the street. I step out of the door to see what had happened when I hear the screech of a glanter. It cuts through the sky like an unholy opera singer. A group of them fly by and chase the car as I rush back inside the house. I slam the door shut and look through the window as I see a couple of smaller glanters grab and shake the car violently looking for the driver. They tear at it, ripping off doors and breaking the windows. The driver screams as the seats cover with blood and he's ripped out of the car as multiple smaller glanters tear and bite off parts of his body like piranha's until his body is completely devoured. I run back to the man cave to warn Preston about what had happened. I spot him laying in his chair spinning a DVD disc on his finger.
“It's not safe outside right now”
“Why not?
“There's glanter's outside, they just ate a dude in his car”
“Did they see you come inside?”
“I don't think so , they flew off before I went inside.”
“well we're not dead so I'm gonna say they didn't see you. But let's stay here for a couple more hours just to be safe”
“Sounds good i'm gonna go find the master bedroom.” I start to walk back up the stairs to the house
“ Hold on why do you get the master bedroom” Preston says while walking after me.
“Because I'm gonna find it first” I say as I start to run to find the bedroom. He chases after me in pursuit of the bedroom. Me and Preston run around the house looking for the master bedroom. We look through room after room finding closets, the garage, a bathroom and a door leading to a balcony in the back of the house. I manage to run into the bedroom and yell out to Preston.``Found it!!”
He comes walking into the room breathing heavily from the running. We both check out the room. The walls are painted a cream yellow and the bed takes up most of the room's center. The bed has burgundy sheets poking out from its bottom and a quilt with multi-colored floral designs lay sprawled out on top of it. There's a wardrobe built into the wall and a black leather couch sits comfortably on the left wall.
“Dibs on the bed” I say as I jump on top of it. I stretch out on top of the quilt and search for a comfortable part to sleep in.
“Where am I supposed to sleep then?” Preston complains
“You can sleep on the couch it looks soft enough” I respond while pointing towards the couch “I saw some spare blankets in one of the closets”
“Alright i’ll be right back” he mumbles to himself “why do i always get the couch”
“ I'll be right here if you need me,” i call after him. I sit up on the bed and start to look around the room more. I notice the entrance to the wardrobe is cracked open slightly. I hop out of the bed and grab a flashlight from my bag as I walk into the wardrobe. I turn on my flashlight and stare in awe at how many clothes are in there. The room is only half as big as the bedroom but it's still bigger than any closet I've ever had. The wardrobe is full of shirts, dresses, pants, and shoes for men and women. I immediately start to look through the shoes to see if any fit my size. I throw a pair of black high heels behind me as Preston finds me in the wardrobe. He looks around before asking me.
“What are you doing?”
“Finding a new pair of clothes to wear cause I've been wearing the same pair of jeans for waaaaay too long”
“Fair enough. Is there any guy stuff in there?”
“Yeah right there” I hook my thumb behind me to point to the other end of the closet.
“I'm sure they won't mind if we take a couple of things…they're probably dead by now anyways,” Preston says with a slight grin on his face. The way he said made me spin my head to look at him but he was already on the opposite end of the wardrobe looking at suits.
I shake away the thought and continue looking for any pair of sneakers in my size. 40 minutes pass before I walk out of the wardrobe holding a new pair of jeans and a black guns-N-roses t-shirt. I toss the clothes on top of the bed and check to see if the shower in the bathroom still works. I turn the dial and wait for a moment. The shower head chokes a little before water comes pouring out. I reach my hand under the showerhead to feel the water. The water is cold, it causes my hand to shiver when I take it out. I shake the water off and say to myself.
“Good enough” as I start to take off my old clothes and get in the shower. The cold water bounces off my skin, it sends shivers down my spine but I still get the old dirt from the last few months off of me. I step out and see a couple of dry towels hanging off of the door. I grab one and dry my body off and grab another to wrap around my head and dry my hair. I step out of the bathroom and Preston is still inside the wardrobe. I put on my new clothes while his back is turned and walk over towards him when I'm finished.
“Still haven't found anything,” I ask him
He turns around “Nothing yet, the only thing interesting was this coat.” He holds a leather coat up to me. The coat is made of black leather and has a skull covered with blue flames on the back. There's a black shirt inside the coat with a skeleton hand making a thumbs-up embroidered on the front.
“ That's pretty cool, it's better than what you're wearing right now at least” he's outfitted in a blue hoodie with holes on the chest and tears at the sleeves. He also has a shirt with a faded picture of a blue flower printed on it.
“I guess you're right” he gets up from the floor and exits the wardrobe. He lays the clothes on the couch along next to the blanket and pillow he brought into the room.
“The shower works so you can get yourself clean In there,” I say to him
“You know, a shower sounds really good right now.” He gets up from the floor and grabs a pair of pajama pants that were laying next to him. He leaves the wardrobe and enters the bathroom, closing the door behind him. After a moment the water turns on and I hop on the bed to get ready to sleep. I squirm myself into the quilt and rest my head against one of the pillows. I shut my eyes and fall asleep listening to the passive sound of the shower like rain on a car.
I'm in a void. It feels like I'm standing in a puddle of water that reaches to my knees. I wade my way forward looking around for anything in the darkness. In the distance I can see 3 figures l. I moved closer to them and their silhouettes get clearer. I realize they are my dad and brothers. I start to run towards them kicking up water behind me until something grabs my leg. It pulls down violently forcing me under the water without a breath of air. I kick at the thing grabbing me until something grabs my other leg. I look down and see two glanter's each with a monstrous smile on their faces. They stare back at me and one of them tugs my leg harder than before and tears it off of my body. The water around me turns red as the glanter laugh's. The other smiles wider as it starts to fling me around the water forcing any air left in my lungs to be forced out as I scream in pain. The glanter throws me away and I can see my family slowly fade into the distance as I'm flown away.
I struggle to swim back to where I was, one of my legs is missing and the other is broken. The glanter's find me again and I try to get to the surface to escape them. I'm flapping my arms in any attempt to escape as one of the glanter's flies in front of me and grabs my arm. I look at the monster with tears in my eyes as it bites my arm and tears my body away from it. It flings my body away and with my remaining arm I clutch the wound as the water floods into my body leaving me in the void I started in. I look around and the glanter's seem to have left. I turn behind me and see my family again, this time I'm closer than before.
I grit my teeth and drag my body towards them slowly as I leave a trail of blood and tears behind me. I finally reach my family and grab one of my father's shoes. I stare up and he looks at me. His stare causes me to feel cold as a grotesque smile grows on his face. I stare in shock as my brothers each have the same look as my father.
I shoot up from my sleep panting heavily in a cold sweat.
“It was just a dream..just a dream…just a dream” I look at my hands as tears fall into them. I look around the room and see Preston sleeping peacefully on the couch. The room feels frozen in place as a chill runs down my spine. I get out of the bed and walk out of the bedroom. I make my way through the dark hallway and find the entrance to the balcony I saw earlier. I creak open the screen door and head outside. The Balcony is pretty large, about the size of the kitchen in the house. There are some chairs knocked over next to a table and I pick one up to sit on it. I look out into the expanse of the neighborhood, houses lined up next to each other, dozens broken apart by roads, and dead bodies scattered across the roads.
I look up in the sky and sit back in the chair. The sky looks empty except for the moon giving this world its only source of light. Without the moon, we’d be left in darkness. It hangs in the sky alone, no stars, no clouds, nothing but itself, and the void of the sky. I think back about the dream I had. My dad and my brother's all dead and possessed and then they kill me. I start to tear up thinking about it. I try to wipe away the tears but it’s no use. I'm too scared for my family. I don't know where they are if they're alive if they're worried about me I don't know anything! I start to quietly cry into my hands. I don't know how long I'm sitting there until I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn my head to face it and I see Preston. He was smiling and looking at me. I turn away to wipe my tears and he walks next to me.
“I heard you sneaking out of the bedroom so I followed you to see where you were going.” he says “but that's not my question.” he pauses and looks at me “my question is what’s got you feeling so down?” he leans over the railing of the balcony
“It's nothing, I just came out here to clear my head.” I say as more tears escape from my eyes in big slow drops that ride down the sides of my face.
“if you don't feel like telling me you don't have to but i'll be here if you ever change your mind”. He looks up at the moon before turning to face me and his smile widens “I'll always be here with you…trust me I'm not going anywhere”
I stare up at him and wipe away my tears as a smile grows on my face to match his. I get up and stare over the balcony with him. “So where are we heading next?” I say to him, Preston pulls the map we got from the man cave downstairs out from his pocket.
“After I got out of the shower I decided to take a look at the map for anything interesting we could see.”
“Ok did you find anything?” i ask
“I did,” he points at a spot on the right of the map. “We should head to the museum”
“I didn't want to go to a museum before the apocalypse why would i want to go now?'' I ask him.
“Well the best part of museums is the cool stuff right”
“Yeah what about it”
“The only problem is that you could only look at the fossils and armor but you could never take them.”
“So you want to rob a museum?” Prestons eyes light up at the question
“Exactly they might have a really cool sword I could use, or I could sharpen a dinosaur tooth and use that as a weapon, there might be a cursed shield that can summon the dead to fight for you. This opportunity is too good to pass up. We need to go!”
“That does seem pretty cool but wouldn't carrying that stuff weigh us down. What if a glanter is chasing us and we can't run fast enough because of the stuff we took from the museum.”
“We’ll only take things that are light. Even then I could just block the glanter with my newly acquired 2000 year old shield.”
“Fair enough we can go in a couple hours” I yawn and stretch out my arms. “Cause I'm feeling way too tired to walk all the way over there right now.”
“Alright i'm heading back to my couch and THEN we’ll head out to the museum” he leaves the balcony and heads back to the master bedroom leaving me alone on the balcony.
“Thanks Preston I'm not leaving either” I say into the sky. I turn around and walk back inside the house, closing the balcony door behind me. I walk back into the bedroom and Preston is hunched over and holding a flashlight looking at the map. He’s drawing lines through roads and marking X’s in different areas.
“What are the X’s for?” i ask him
“They’re places that glanter’s usually stay around. I'm marking them off so we remember not to go through them, or at least be more cautious.”
“Cool. Did you find where we are right now?” He points to an area where the lines all converge out of.
“Right around here is where the neighborhood ends. So if we follow this path we can make it to the museum in one piece” I pat him on the back and take the map from his hands.
“Get some sleep Preston, we have a full day tomorrow” he grins to himself before laying down on the couch. I put the map back into my bag and hop on the bed to get to sleep. I cover my body in the quilt and roll over facing away from Preston as he falls asleep. I nestle myself into the bed and slowly fall asleep to get ready for the next day.
I'm awoken by Preston shaking the bed I'm sleeping on. My eyes open and the room is foggy, I wipe away the sleep from my eyes and focus my attention towards Preston. He's practically jumping out of his skin with excitement, he's already fully dressed for the trip and shaking the bed with a wide smile on his face.
“Ok ok i'm up the air feels heavy as a groggy feeling fills my body. I wipe my eyes and the room starts to clear up. I turn to face Preston. He's still shaking my bed to wake me up, he’s already fully dressed and nearly jumping out of his skin in excitement.
“Ok ok, i'm up you can stop shaking the bed” i say
“Then get up we’ve got a long walk ahead of us” he says as he stops shaking the mattress. He grabs the map from my bag and points to one of the red lines.
“We're gonna follow this way to the museum. We’ll move past the hotel around the ice skating rink and around the park. We’ll mainly stick to walking through the streets, we might have to go rooftop hopping to avoid any glanter’s if we see them but i'm sure we won’t reach that point.” he explains
“Wait, wait, wait, why are avoiding the skating rink and the park” i ask
“ everytime we go near the park there's weird noises and light coming out of it”
“And why can't we go to the ice skating rink?”
“I didn't think it would be important”
“It couldn't hurt to check it out at least”
“Fine we could make a detour”
“Ok and how do you plan on getting on top of roofs?”
“I'm sure we'll figure it out when we get to it”
“Ok man as long as you’re sure '' I yawn and step out of the bed. Preston starts to put the map in his bag. I walk into the bathroom with my clothes and change out of my pajamas. Minutes later I walk out and see Preston sitting on the couch twiddling his thumbs.
“Finally you're out” he smiles at me before handing me my bag and slinging it over his shoulder. We took a last look inside the kitchen to see if we missed anything. Afterwards we leave for the outside. The cold air bites at my face but Preston walks down the stairs, his face buried in the map. I jog to catch up to him as we both head into the street.
“Hey Preston, could I see the map?”
“Sure” he hands over the map and continues walking. I look at the map and the numerous lines drawn on roads. I look at the corner of the map and notice a small map key with numerous symbols for different areas like a library, school, hospital, and more. There's even a way to tell how far away each location is. The text reads “1 inch=5 miles” I quickly count how far we are from the museum.
“Dude this museum is like 100 miles away.”
“Yep it'll be a long walk, it'll take us a while to get there”
“Did you plan on us walking there the whole time?”
“We might find bikes or something.” he pauses “well i did think we would walk the whole way”
“This is gonna take us weeks to get there!”
“Did you have anything else planned?”
“Well…i guess not but we should still try to find some bikes or something”
“Ok if we see any way to travel faster we’ll take it”
“Alright cool” I hand him the map back and he folds it back up and puts it in his bag. We walk further until we leave the gated neighborhood we started in. Preston takes the map back out and looks at it before he turns right and continues walking. I follow him staring forward at the expanse of the road. The outside of the neighborhood is surrounded by roads all leading to different parts of Newkinawa. We walk past a sign that reads “Coretown 20 miles ahead” I nudge Preston towards the sign and he checks the map again.
“Yep, the museum’s in Coretown. Would you believe the residents were pretty proud of it. Should be a fun place to explore” he says
“Yeah but it’ll take us a million years to get there.” i complain
“Lighten up, I'm sure it will be worth it”. We continue walking down the road slowly making our way to Coretown.

I hope our His Majesty or the higher authority can investigate this matter seriously about all my submissions and the facts that I stated here, to prevent the same problem from occurring again, & also to prevent more victims like me from being treated unfairly by the judicial system in Brunei.
The purpose of writing this article is to awaken & raise awareness about the judicial system in Brunei. And I think people have the right to know the facts & inappropriate judicial system in Brunei. My case number is HCCS 136 of 2009 & Appeal no. COACV/4/2023. I hope people can read through the judgment, & I hope the court will not remove the judgment from their website following the publication of this article.
After the partial profits of $195,300.00 paid to me by the plaintiffs, the plaintiffs & I entered into a Deed of Settlement Agreement to resolve all our disputes. A few months after signing the Deed of Settlement Agreement, the plaintiffs filed the proceeding against me, they also made up 2 major evidence a fraudulent payment voucher of $195,300.00 & a confirmation letter, accusing me of owing $195,300.00. However, the Court didn’t rely on our Deed of Settlement Agreement in this suit. Then, what does the law rely on if the Deed of Settlement Agreement is rejected in Brunei?
I stated in my pleadings & substantiated it with a laboratory report issued by the Ministry of Health Brunei, that the plaintiffs forged my signature on 24 copies of Standard Chartered Bank transaction forms to transfer $352,456.68 from our joint name account to their personal account. However, the court made no mention of this key fact in the judgment. Can the court cove conceal the pleadings & the facts that were submitted by the party in the judgment in Brunei?
As stated in the judgment, the court admitted & regretted that the court is unable to provide the hearing audio recording as the court did not arrange the audio recorder & a transcriber for our hearing ( 1 week of hearing), as a result, the correction of the inaccurate hearing transcription (notes of proceeding) provided by the court is therefore impossible. Thus, I applied for a retrial, but I was forced by the court of appeal to proceed with the appeal. Isn’t the hearing audio recording & accurate hearing transcription (notes of proceedings) are significant/ important evidence when it comes to appeal in Brunei?
In the judgment, the court of appeal rejected all 2 major evidence the fraudulent payment voucher & the confirmation letter submitted by the plaintiffs as the plaintiffs failed to comply with the Court Order to surrender the original Payment Voucher of $195,300.00 to the Ministry of Health Brunei for forensic examination (the plaintiffs told the court that they had lost the original Payment Voucher of $195,300.00), the court also rejected the Deed of Settlement Agreement & evidence submitted by me. Nevertheless, the court deemed the $195,300.00 as a loan to me without specifying any reason/ ground in the judgment. Isn’t it the judge’s obligation to specify the reason/ ground of their decision when it comes to judgment? Can the judge make a decision without giving any reason/ ground for the judgment in Brunei?
One of my counterclaims that I clearly stated in my pleadings against the plaintiffs, is that the plaintiffs will surrender all business accounts that they hid from me, & pay the balance of my profits from 2006 onwards as clearly stipulated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 6. However, the court made no mention of this specific counterclaim in the judgment. Does the court have the right to simply waive/ delete/ conceal the counterclaim that was submitted by the party in the judgment in Brunei?
I am the defendant in the news that was published by the Borneo Bulletin on 28^th Dec 2023. The most crucial sentence of the article stated that “Chief Justice Dato Seri Paduka Steven Chong, sitting with Justice Michael Lunn and Sir Peter Gross, rejected Tan’s appeal, addressing issues regarding inaccurate notes of proceedings, reliance on the Deed of Settlement, credibility concerns, and the absence of forensic evidence for a payment voucher”. Apparently, this news was published a few months ago, but, the higher authority did not take any action to rectify the problems.
This is a business dispute between the 2 plaintiffs (my business partners) and me. The 2 plaintiffs, Foo & Lai had hidden the business accounts from me & refused to pay my profits of around a few hundred thousand since 2006 onwards, as a result, we had frequent quarrels, & our partnership turned sour. Sometime in December 2008, I again quarrelled with the plaintiffs over the profits they owned me, the plaintiffs didn’t have a choice but to pay my partial profit amounting to $195,300.00 subsequently, we entered into a Deed of Settlement Agreement in April 2009 prepared by our lawyer to resolve all our disputes & my resignation from the company. All agreed terms had been clearly stipulated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement. Therefore, the court should rely on our Deed of Settlement Agreement in this suit.
In our Deed of Settlement Agreement, the partial payment of $195,300.00 was not mentioned it was a loan to me, on the contrary, the amount of $195,300.00 will be reinvested equally by 3 of us, which is $65,100 per person, to furnish the balance commitments/ outstanding bills of the company upon my resignation from the company, which is clearly stated in Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 4a, and the plaintiffs have to pay me the balance of the profits that they hid from me from 2006 onwards after the auditor finalizes the business account as clearly stated in Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 6. After we entered the Deed of Settlement Agreement, I complied with the term Clause 4a, I reinvested $20,000 from the part of the $65,100 & I asked the plaintiffs to surrender all business accounts to the auditor as agreed in Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 6, so that they could pay the balance of my profits. The plaintiffs then told me they had lost all business accounts, apparently, the plaintiffs do not want to surrender all the business accounts & pay me the balance of my profits. A few months later, the plaintiffs forged my signature on a fraudulent payment voucher of $195,300.00 & a confirmation letter, filed a proceeding against me & accused me of owing them $195,300.00
The plaintiffs’ case/ allegation is, they claimed that the $195,300.00 is a loan to me, and the $20,000.00 that I reinvested is a part payment of the loan, and thus I owe them $175,300.00. The plaintiffs submitted their 2 major evidence in this suit, a fraudulent payment voucher of $195,300.00 & a confirmation letter. I told the court that the plaintiffs forged my signature on the alleged payment voucher of $195,300.00 & the confirmation letter, subsequently, the Court Order was issued, ordering the plaintiffs to surrender the original Payment Voucher of $195,300.00 to the Ministry of Health Brunei for forensic examination, the plaintiffs then told the court that they had lost the original Payment Voucher of $195,300.00 & therefore failed to comply with the Court Order. Despite the court of appeal rejected the 2 major evidence the fraudulent payment voucher of $195,300.00 & the confirmation letter that the plaintiffs submitted, the court of appeal also found no evidence showed in the Deed of Settlement Agreement that the $195,300.00 was a loan to me, BUT, the court of appeal deemed the $195,300.00 to be a loan to me without giving any reason/ ground in the judgment.
My case to the court of appeal is,
1. As the trial judge, Judge Faisal didn’t arrange for an audio recording & a transcriber during our hearing (1 week of hearing), and he also provided an inaccurate hearing transcription (notes of proceeding) to us, as a result, the correction of the inaccurate hearing transcription ( notes of proceeding) is therefore impossible. This is clearly a BIG mistake made by the court. I told the court of appeal that only the hearing audio recording can prove lots of lies made by the plaintiffs & all the answers gave by both parties during the 1 week of hearing. Since the court is not able to provide the hearing audio recording, accurate hearing transcription & other grounds substantiated, I applied for a retrial. However, my application was rejected, & I was forced to proceed with the appeal by the court of appeal regardless of the absence of the important evidence the hearing audio recording & accurate hearing transcription.

1. The $195,300.00 was not a loan, & it was not stated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement. I told the court of appeal that the plaintiffs would have stated this in our Deed of Settlement Agreement if the $195,300.00 was a loan to me. In fact, the $195,300.00 was a partial payment paid to me, & the balance shall be paid to me after the plaintiffs surrenders all the business accounts to the auditor as stipulated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 6. Moreover, if the fraudulent Payment Voucher of $195,300.00 that the plaintiffs submitted (their major evidence) was duly signed by me, the plaintiffs would not have told the court that they had lost the Payment Voucher of $195,300.00 when the Court Order ordered them to surrender the original Payment Voucher of $195,300.00 to forensic examination.
   
2. I substantiated with the laboratory report issued by the Ministry of Health Brunei that the plaintiffs forged my signature on the 24 copies of the Standard Chartered Bank transaction forms to transfer $352,456.68 from our joint name account to their personal accounts. I have filed this proceedings against the Standard Chartered Bank & the plaintiffs Foo & Lai, which the case HCCS 78 of 2012 is currently handling by the judge, Judge Soefri, & police case Ref. BKS/C116/2011 Is currently handling by Commercial Crime Investigation of Royal Brunei Police since 2011 ( it’s been 13 years). It is clearly submitted in my pleadings. However, the court simply waived & made no mention this specific critical point in the judgment. The court covered up/ concealed the facts in the judgment.
   

4. My counterclaim against the plaintiffs is, a payment of the dump truck, the plaintiffs failed to submit the evidence, whereas I submitted a solid evidence, the clearance letter & payment history issued by Baiduri Finance which was clearly stated that I fully paid for the said dump truck, and the said dump truck is clearly stated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 4d. However, the court rejected my evidence which was issued by Baiduri Finance & ignored the term stipulated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 4d.
5. My other counterclaim is also, a Toyota Land Cruiser. It is clearly stipulated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 5 that, the said Toyota Land Cruiser belongs to me, & thus the plaintiffs shall pay the proceeds to me after they sold the vehicle. But the court rejected & ignored the Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 5 & evidence.
6. My other counterclaim is, the plaintiffs will surrender all business accounts that they hid from me & pay the balance of my profits from 2006 onwards as clearly stipulated in our Deed of Settlement Agreement Clause 6. But the court simply waived & made no mention this specific counterclaim in the judgment.
I have written several letters to alert the court about all the legal points as mentioned above, BUT, I was ignored by the court.
Lastly, I do not know what would happen to me after the publication of this article, one thing is for sure, at least one man must have the courage to step out & tell the facts about flaws/ deficiencies in our judicial system in Brunei, make things change & improve, in order to prevent more victims suffering from the false judicial system & injustice. I am confident that our His Majesty, as a kind & fair Sultan, would investigate this case thoroughly & make rakyat feel safe again with the judicial system in Brunei.

love is amazing, I think about my parents. They had a forbidden love. My mom joined the Navy as a doctor she was in the navy for about 2 years when she met my dad. he was an enlisted sailor they met by chance when my dad was sent back to the us after being wounded. he had been in for 6 years. he was receiving care and recovering in the hospital where she was working
My dad was finishing up his degree and was studying for his MCATS test while he was in the hospital. she worked the night shift and would help him study. Some spark was there, they started to date and they got into trouble. they kept dating so I guess they hid it better. my mom asked my dad to come home with her for Thanksgiving.
My grandparents are very affluent they did not like my dad they felt he was beanth their social class because he was from a poor family, did not have fancy table manners, and did not own a suit So my dad broke it off because he felt she should have somebody better. my grandfather told my dad he was going to ruin her life and that she had already gotten in trouble because of him. that he was destroying her life and that my mom was just sluming and was just a passing phase in her life.
My mom was heartbroken, my dad said she should have somebody better than him. she goes out to his house and confronts him. asked what he has been doing for the past 2 months. he told her he was waiting to see about getting out of the military. she asked him about med school, and he said he applied to 5 schools and was waiting for the results. They talked for a few weeks and rekindled their love. on the pretense of if he got into med school he was good enough for her. mom said she would have stayed anyways but she knew he was going to get in.
Well, he did get accepted not only that he finished like in the top of his class and matched to be a surgeon. They dated while he was in med school and then got married they have been married for 20 years now, and they still love each other, like really love each other. grandparents accepted my dad, but my mom stuck it to them they wanted to do the whole fancy southern bell wedding. they just drove to Vegas and got married.
like they still write each other love letters send cards and flowers. like my dad even sent my mom a cake for the day of their first kiss. my mom makes cute gift boxes all decorated for each holiday and fills them with snacks. and will get the little Debbie snack for each holiday. my dad love them.
what I really think about is if my dad wasn't sent to that hospital, I would have never been born. like the smallest thing in life can change so much.

Just a random thought.
Its easier to force your self to do something everyday as a routine, than to try and not do something or restrict yourself. I guess its the way we are no?
Its easy to tell yourself to chug down a certain amount of water everyday, its 'easier' to force yourself to spend some time in the gym. Its 'easier' to get yourself to sit down and study.
What's difficult is to tell yourself not to do something which supposedly brings your body the pleasure or happiness it thinks it wants in the moment.
Its like not allowing yourself to watch youtube, or eat chocolate or just be happy. I mean why wouldn't you let yourself do that.
I think the way we approach not touching ourselves and accompanying that with watching other people touch themselves should change.
Perhaps we shouldn't look at it from a perspective of "I shouldn't do this", rather I'm going to do these 10 different other things than touch myself cuz I'm a cool person and these things are beneath me.
We should imagine ourselves a little elite. In our heads atleast we must look down on the entire concept of this action the way rich people who fly in first class or private jets look down on economy. There's a certain amount of class as muslims we must maintain when it comes to these actions. The way we view ourselves must change regardless of our present circumstances. As we try to climb out of the ditch we fell into, we need to keep believing we will get ourselves out, and that there is no otherway than OUT! We mustn't entertain the thought of failure even though we are prone to it.
Like no one builds a house thinking it will cave in one day due to whatever reasons. You build it thinking that it will shelter you and you will be happy. And even if one day it does cave in, you say Allah Malik.
So even if we fail we mustn't stop hoping and believing. You will get out one day. Its quite near! Allah knows it, that's why he's kept you alive. He wants you to work towards seeing that day.
I want you to know that everyday that you wake up is proof that you actually are going to end up beating this demon. There's enough people saying how difficult and harrowing this is.
This sin is grave in its effects on us. But let's change it up. Let's believe that this is easy. Let's believe that as Muslims with class we are above this indecent act and that this is trivial and there are much more important things for you to tend to.
This is the way I look at it and I think we should adopt this internal mental high ground.
Brother's and sisters we will do it. Allah has given us a chance once again to prove him right. Dont worry about letting him down, just dont let yourselves down, and you will end up not letting him down.
I pray for all of you! May Allah show you the good days he has written for you!

Senior in my last couple weeks here. The strike officially started today.
I’m currently in SPA 003, need to pass it to get my degree. I currently have an A in the class, with one oral exam remaining in the grade book that we won’t get to, assuming the strike continues.
I remember, during the last strike, that final grades were essentially snapshots in time of your grade at the point before the strike took hold for some courses. My professor said they were uncertain what the Spanish department would do, regarding giving us the grade we have or setting us for incomplete.
The thing is, if I get an incomplete, I do not graduate. If I do not graduate, I cannot start my graduate school later this year. If it were the case that I would have to take an incomplete for some asinine reason, would that be grounds to threaten litigious action (considering it would set me back 1 entire yet in the worst case scenario), since this would possibly cost me a lot in terms of my future career?
Thanks in advance

The Power of Deeds: When Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Have you ever heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words”? This timeless adage resonates deeply, especially in our faith journey. Often, our deeds can reflect our values and beliefs more profoundly than any words we might speak. Let’s delve into the powerful message behind this principle and explore how we can live it out daily.

The Gospel in Action

One of the most compelling examples of deeds speaking louder than words comes from Jesus Christ himself. In John 13:15, Jesus says, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.” After washing His disciples’ feet, He demonstrated humility and service in a profound way. He didn’t just talk about serving others—He acted on it.
This powerful act speaks volumes about the importance of not only talking about faith but living it out through tangible actions. How can we emulate Jesus in our everyday lives?

Living Out Our Faith

When words fall short, our actions can bridge the gap. Here are some ways to ensure our deeds reflect our faith:

• Serve Others: Volunteer at local shelters, donate to those in need, or simply lend a hand to a neighbor. Mark 10:45 reminds us, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.”
• Show Kindness: A smile, a kind word, or a helping hand can make a significant difference in someone’s day. Proverbs 16:24 states, “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”
• Live with Integrity: Let your actions be consistent with your words. James 2:17 reinforces this: “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

Reflect and Act

Take a moment to reflect on these questions:

• In what ways do your actions reflect your faith?
• How can you be more intentional in living out your beliefs through deeds?
• Can you think of a recent situation where actions spoke louder than words? What impact did it have?

As you ponder these questions, remember that every small deed carries the potential to inspire and uplift others.

Faith in Action: Your Personal Challenge

Inspired to take action? Here’s a challenge for you: This week, choose one tangible action to demonstrate your faith. It could be helping a stranger, assisting a friend in need, or volunteering your time for a worthy cause. Whatever you choose, let it be a reflection of your love and commitment to living out your faith.
Let us know how your experience goes! Share your thoughts or stories in the comments below. Your journey could inspire others to follow suit.

Conclusion

When deeds speak, not only do they echo our beliefs more powerfully than words, but they also have the potential to inspire change in those around us. By living out our faith through actions, we become the hands and feet of Christ in the world.
As you go about your days, remember: It’s not just about what you say—it’s about what you do. Your actions can be a beacon of hope and a testament to your faith.
So, let your deeds speak loud and clear, echoing the love and grace that our faith embodies. How will your actions reflect your faith today? Share your experiences and insights in the comments below. Your story could be the spark that ignites someone else’s journey of faith.
Remember, when deeds speak, the echo can be eternal. Let’s make every action count.

I began an M.S. program in February. $3k of my tuition wasn’t covered by my FAFSA student loans. I applied for a direct plus loan to cover this remaining balance, with a family member as an endorser. I notified my college via email of the loan approval and they replied stating they’d update me in 3-5 business days. They never sent that update so after 10 days, I reached out via email again for an update. No response. I called the college FA dept and was redirected to my advisor, who stated all was okay and the loan just needed processing by the FA dept. I waited three more days, then sent another email to the FA dept, as well as notified the military support dept (I am a military spouse) that my remaining balance would be covered by this loan, however, I wasn’t receiving any response from financial aid. This initiated the FA dept to finally respond via email stating my endorser needed to complete a promissory note, which she did immediately. I notified them of this, again via email. This was on May 10th, my classes ended May 28th (today). They said it could take 3-5 days, again, before the loan would be applied to my past due balance. I waited until May 17th and reached out again. No response. Today, I filed a formal complaint with the university, emailed my advisor, emailed the military support program again and finally got a response from FA: they said I needed to have my endorser complete the promissory note again, and that I was at risk of being blocked from taking classes next term (they start next week) because the balance needed to be zero before the end of the current term…
During this entire month long process the military support dept called to tell me I had an outstanding balance several times, and each time I told them I was waiting on the direct plus loan, only to have them respond to “reach out to financial aid.” They did not respond for four weeks to my requests, they ignored me more often than they replied. I have phone records and email trails. They could have told me my endorser needed to redo the MPN at any time, but waited until the day the term ended to respond to me, threatening to block me from classes and demanding she redo the MPN within 24 hours which still may not prevent my being blocked.
I have a contingent promotion at work that requires I’m enrolled in this program.
This was an obvious negligent lack of communication on their part. Can I seek legal action if I am blocked from my classes?

I call apon the reddit community to please help me. I am in middle school and i have recently discovered that my classmate I will call Kate, has been in a inappropriate relationship with our teacher. This consists of her sending him photos n_de and him sending photos of his "rooster" back. Most of our class already nows and we are taking action by spreading the word of this situation around so it reaches the principal. I am scared for Kate please help this is serious.
Extra info:
Kate is not in this relationship against her will.
I live in Mexico and things work differently legally here.
We are planning on buying a microcamera to film and gather evidence.
I'm scared for Kate please this is not a joke help

We need to save the film industry before it flatlines. As someone who’s passionately dedicated to film and aspiring to be a filmmaker, I can see the writing on the wall. While I'm currently a podcast producer, my extensive background as a successful strategic marketing consultant for over 14 years uniquely equips me to tackle what I think might be one of the most critical issues impacting the entertainment industry.
Alarm bells are definitely ringing, folks. The industry is literally on life support, fighting off several cancers that are eating it away. The obvious ones include a dramatic change in viewing habits, ticket prices that are still far too high, and piracy being more prominent than ever. But there is a much greater malignancy doing harm: outdated marketing and promotional strategies. Simply put, they are fundamentally incompatible with the modern era, and this incompatibility will only compound with time. These practices have failed to evolve alongside the rapidly changing digital and social media landscapes. While the industry is proficient at maximizing reach, there’s a profound disconnect in how these efforts resonate with audiences. Often, negative sentiments are amplified and spread more aggressively than positive ones, substantially skewing public perception even before a film reaches theaters.
To witness the real-time impact of the pernicious negative feedback loop created by film marketing and promotions, just look at the discourse surrounding filmmakers like Zack Snyder and James Gunn. These directors have become lightning rods for this vein of self-multiplying negativity, which is not exclusive to them and could devastate any project or professional within the industry. The discourse and reactionary engagements surrounding these two directors serve as the best evidence of this phenomenon. Just look at how quickly the new reveal of the Superman suit snowballed into a Matterhorn.
Yet, the problem extends beyond marketing missteps and the other aforementioned issues. The industry is also grappling with a significant decline in film quality. Modern cinema is plagued by an over-reliance on reboots and remakes, with many new films feeling more like stale repetitions than fresh explorations. This creative stagnation not only disappoints but disorients audiences seeking originality and innovation.
Compounding these issues is the heavy-handed incorporation of socio-political agendas within films, which often comes at the expense of subtlety and storytelling finesse. Films increasingly serve as platforms for preaching and proselytizing rather than narratives that organically engage and challenge audiences. No one loves clever and nuanced subtext and analogy more than I do. This shift has not only diluted the art of cinema but has also forced marketing campaigns to navigate a minefield of public sentiment, battling backlash from all sides of the socio-political spectrum.
This trifecta of flawed marketing, declining quality, and politicized content creation demands a revolutionary overhaul. The industry must fundamentally reimagine its approach to marketing films, ensuring that strategies are not only nuanced but also robustly aligned with contemporary audience behaviors. This is critical, as the foundational issue of how movies are promoted sets the stage for all other aspects of their reception. Until we establish a secure and effective platform for film promotion, free from the distortive effects of preemptive judgment and social media bias, efforts to address the quality of content will be in vain. Marketers need to urgently address these polarizing impacts, creating a safe harbor where genuine, unbiased appreciation can thrive. Only then can filmmakers and studios truly recommit to the craft of storytelling, prioritizing originality and deep audience engagement over overt agendas. This dual focus on innovative marketing and authentic content creation is essential to revitalizing the industry and restoring trust with audiences.
This issue requires thoughtful exploration, and I’d love to connect with anyone in the sub who works in film marketing and promotions to discuss real actionable solutions.

I'm only typing this because I believe there are people at Arrowhead who care about this game and want to make it great. I've spent countless hrs playing this game and I really do enjoy it (currently lvl 110, only saying this as support that I play the game A LOT) but it's starting to feel like fewer players are online. I like that this game is designed to be hard, but can we focus on perhaps making the game more enjoyable through removing nagging frustrations? These are a few of my humble suggestions:

• Can we have an option to disregard dropped primaries in game? I know what loadout I want and those dastardly primaries always get in the way when I am trying to pick up samples and gear. And because you throw a wall of bugs/bots at us every second, I've had several frustrating moment occurs when I'm trying to sweep in and make a play. Never have I picked up a primary and thought, "Gee, this is exactly what I wanted" and the only problem this has ever fixed is if a mate accidentally spawned in with the wrong loadout but that rarely happens and they will lose the primary they swapped after death and since primaries aren't marked on the map, they won't be able to find them again if they die.
• Can we improve the entire mechanic of picking things up? There are several times I am opening up a resource pod and there's a weapon inside that I want and the "pickup item option" will not be available. This will result in several minutes of coming at the pod from every angle and sometimes I'll have to stand beside it and look at it from such an awkward angle that the option will momentarily prompt for a split-second. Well you can imagine how problematic this can be when you are getting spammed with an exorbitant amount of bugs/bots from everywhere!
• Mystery holes? What are they and why do we even have them? I can't tell you how many times I'm being swarmed by packs of hunters and I jump to the side and inevitably fall into one of these mystery holes. Ya know, they are the ones you can throw a grenade into and cause an explosion which is basically useless (I only see them on bugs, I believe). And to make things worse any items you had before falling into this hole are now lost. If you are going to keep having these silly mystery holes, then can you at least give us some way to retrieve our gear? Let's throw a grenade in there and have it erupt, throwing all the items out or something. Falling into a hole when you have super samples is a feeling that I would not even wish upon my greatest enemies!
• Can we give priority to STIMming? This game has about a dozen wonky mechanics that need to be fixed, but in the meantime, you could ameliorate a ton of disgruntled players by allowing the STIM command to take priority. How many times have we had to endure an awkward falling sequence because we dove and landed on a rock or steep hill? Typically we are diving because we are trying to evade some bug or bot that is running us down and the 5-second falling sequence without the ability to STIM means we are toast. And look, this prolonged falling sequence triggers at the worst possible times, plus with all of the funky physics of the game, I will try to climb over a fallen bile titan and suddenly be flung across the map. Allow me to the ability to STIM while this is happening and I will be much more willing to forgive these problems because I can use the invulnerability of the STIM to negate the fall, therefore saving me a lot of hassle trying to run back across the map to get my gear when I have been wrongfully jettisoned across the map.
• Who at Arrowhead thought that the exploding smoke pellets would add value to the game by hurling players when they explode? Well, they were wrong. Too often this creates scenarios where (again) you throw an army of bots at us and as we are trying to evade the sheer volume of crimson laser blasts hurling in our direction, but one shot strikes an unseen smoke pellet behind us and hurles us directly into a moshpit of Hulks and Devastators. The smoke pellets should be there to give us cover and obstruct the ridiculously broken mechanic of bot vision, but in most cases, it just serves as another random obstacle to frustrate us.
• Again, let's talk about Bot vision because there are absolutely not enough people at Arrowhead playing this game. I enjoy running bots more than bugs, but I can't tell you how many times I get completely bombarded with a litany of lasers from the other side of the map, piercing darkness, rain, and about every other obstacle that obstructs my vision but somehow not theirs. I believe blizzards are the only thing that stops their insanely broken vision. No amount of skill can save you on open terrain with any combination of 3 bots that are Heavy and Rocket Devastators. They always seem to sync their fire in such a way that you are completely pinned down and can't move. If you are going to give them such powerful weapons, then at least limit their vision.
• AA defense effect is horrible and should be removed from the game immediately! I've posted on this topic before so I'll curtail this rant, but people play this game because of the stratagems and limiting them as some lazy way of making the mission different only adds frustration and does not promote fun. If you added a new difficult level that gave Helldivers no weapons, no stratagems, and no armor and just asked them to run around and get massacred, how many people do you think would play it? Sure there would be a dozen streamers playing it to somehow win their parents approval or get likes, but no one would play it because it wouldn't be fun. I will say it again, we should have more stratagem slots. This past weekend, when he had free access to the new emancipator exosuit, that was fun and it felt like Helldiving! Even if I had to farm a ridiculous amount of samples to unlock a useful stratagem like orbital precision strike or eagle airstrike as always a part of my loadout at no stratagem cost to me, I would bust my butt to get that because it would add value and fun to the game, which should be the primary goal as you look at ways to bring players back.
• Can we have a use for medals and samples? I've unlocked everything in the game and I have no use for medals, samples, and requisition slips. I don't care what it is, but can I use them on something so that when I pick them up in-game it actually means something? Even if donating your samples and medals and slips give an infinitesimal amount of progress toward our major order, or we can use those in-game to replenish our exosuits, just give me a reason to collect these because being maxed out at 250 medals, 500 samples, 250 rare samples, 100 super samples, and 50k in requisition slips absolutely chokes the fun out of this game for me.
• Can someone revisit the hitboxes of Bile Titans and Hulks when it comes to Hellpods? Again, a unique feature of this game that brings enjoyment to the players is our ability to call in fallen comrades as weapons. Putting yourself in peril to help out your mates is the ultimate experience but I find it very inconsistent when trying to hit Hulks and especially Bile Titans. There are so many times that I put myself in harm's way only to somehow not kill a hulk/titan even though I went directly through them and I know that I am significantly more advanced than most casual players of the game. If people don't feel like they can contribute, they won't play. Especially since the pods are often restricted in mobility (and someone pls remind me why I unlocked power steering again because it doesn't work), please just do something that favors the helldiver for once and I promise people will like it!
• Speaking of chargers, they seem to have a new flair built in that ragdolls you after you have dodged them. I don't know if it is their legs widening after they stop but it creates many a scenario where you successfully run around a charger when it charges, it immediately stops, and then the side sweeping action of the legs when it stops ragdolls and mostly kills you. This didn't use to happen but it is very annoying to successfully dodge a charger and then still have it kill you.
• Suggestion: can we get the exosuits to eject us like the cockpit of a fighter jet when they explode? I don't run the mechs that often, partially because you can have this powerful yet bulky suit that can do everything right but somehow get destroyed by a charger that pops up behind you. But if that suit were to eject me and allow me to prolong my life, that would be a clutch feature for the game. But once again...and I know this is going to sound foreign...but it would create fun gameplay and awesome clips that people would post and it would inevitably influence new players to play the game. Have the cockpit eject into a hellpod that you can use to exact revenge on the menacing charger that destroyed your mech!

So I know this is a lot and thank you for reading. I'm passionate about this game because I really want to see it grow. Every time there's are updates, inevitably there will be grumbling about change, but I have seen a lot of my mates fall off this game. I personally like the challenge of the game but it does feel like every update obsesses on taking advantages away from the helldiver and that same isn't applied to the enemy. When two or three of these advantages occur, you take it in stride but when you play a good game and still get relentlessly hit with these unfair glitches it just turns players off. Anyway, I am rooting for you all because I love the game, but like all toxic relationships, you can only love something for so long as it continues to mistreat you. Keep the game hard but please remember that it should be fun first!

I don't know how to write a healthy parent-child relationship, or a dysfunctional one. I'm currently writing a Peter Parker longfic, and trying to write Peter and May's relationship, post-ben. I'm trying to, for lack of a better word, realistify, the series, starting from he was a kid. I'm re-writing the series and trying to see what would happen if it wasn't a comic book or action movie and had actual realistic life-points, and I think that the relationship between Peter and May, after Ben died and Peter was sneaking out all of the time and ditching school and May was working longer and longer hours to make rent and Peter needed like triple the food intake as he did before would put a strain on their relationship. I don't want to make it abusive, but I also don't think a person with decent mental health would put on a bright red spandex suit and beat up petty criminals, and most mental heath issues in children originate from the home. I want a dysfunctional relationship that doesn't slip into abuse but isn't unrealistically neglectful or super gushy and heartfelt or whatever, I just don't know how. Any tips?

Hello all, I am new to this subreddit and it's not a place I ever anticipated being. I had to create a new account due to a breach of my data brought to me by a Home2 Suites in Greenville, SC.
Over my one night stay this weekend, I found out I was illegitimately signed up for the Hilton Honors program. After much investigation, talking with numerous Hilton employees, and so forth I found out who enrolled me. Henceforth, I will refer to this employee as Jamie (to protect her identity, an effort that I was not afforded by her.)
From the information gathered, and based on Jamie's testimony when I asked her how I was enrolled without consent, she told me that there was a cash bonus associated with how many enrolled she could garner and the General Manager, who henceforth I will refer to as Kathy, coached her into enrolling as many people as possible--with or without permission. My stay was with major regret, enrolled without permission.
I emailed the CEO of Hilton and I found a fraud protection email and detailed my experience at this property but now after considerable pondering, how many other have faced an illegitimate sign up? Is it common practice to have a cash bonus in place to encourage these actions? How is it possible that Hilton is alright with Kathy’s and Jamie’s giving the people’s information out?
When I book hotel rooms, it is normally through Expedia, which I now know Hilton refers to as an “OTA” website, and they don’t care how information is carelessly shared and provided. I can tell you, I will stick with either smaller named brands or stick with Marriott from now on.
Ultimately, I must say I am highly disappointed that Hilton doesn’t, hasn’t, and apparently won’t, take better care of consumer information.

For most of my life public speaking has never been an issue, and it was actually one of my strong suits. I could easily deliver an articulate jumble of sentences in front of a large group of people. However sometime last fall, I was presenting something in a class when for no particular reason I started shaking all over my body. My teeth were shattering a little bit and I felt like I was cold shivering just without the cold. This has been a trend since. Today I was having a really deep discussion in class in front of my class (we were doing a sharing session where you could come up to the front and just talk about anything deep) and I was moderately shaking. My abdomen was shaking pretty badly. I tried taking some water and taking some nice good deep breaths but it didn't stop. Even after I stopped presenting and got positive feedback from my peers the shaking didn't cease until 5-10 minutes after. I don't know where this came from or how to stop it. Please help!

His policies have benefited the wealthy at the expense of the working class. He's weakened unions, lowered wages, and made it harder for people to get by. His supporters are oblivious to the impact of his actions. #FightForWorkers #WorkersRights #UnionStrong #EconomicJustice
