2024.05.16 20:27 Any_River2778 Ugh, marriage to an ex-Mormon

Using a throwaway account for this in order not to bring wreckage into my personal life.
I live not too far from one of the proposed temple sites thatā€™s recently been in the news. Iā€™m not in that specific neighborhood ā€” but close enough that Iā€™ve taken a serious interest in following the controversy.
Iā€™ve found myself really, really irritated and disgusted with ā€” what appears to me ā€” to be the absolute, entitled refusal of the Church to negotiate any aspect of the templeā€™s size or design with the local community. It does not help that the temple is, frankly, hideous no matter how tall the ridiculous spire is. But putting that aside, Iā€™m surprised at just how mad I am.
This controversy has really brought my long standing resentment against the Church to the surface and I need a place to express those feelings. I was not raised LDS. I was raised in a mainstream Protestant denomination, in fact my father was a minister. (I told my in-laws this in an effort to get them to stop trying to convert me once very early in my marriage, which was the first time I realized that being very clearly already Christian is apparently NOT enough.)
My husband was Mormon ā€” until he left the faith over 20 years ago. He is the only one in his family to have made this choice & his decision created such a rift in his family that he was asked to leave the family home before he was even 18.
Not so shockingly, being forced to live in a car while still in high school & ostracized by his loved ones caused him incredible pain. Itā€™s not a wound thatā€™s been healed.
And instead of respecting the fact that my husband does not want, for obvious reasons I think, to be a member of the Church & is hurt by what happened to him ā€” we continue to be pursued by the Church (urged on by his estranged family). We get missionaries at our door to this day ā€” and itā€™s been 20 years! Weā€™ve moved 6 times! More than once itā€™s not just missionaries but some dude in a suit who ironically wants to talk about family togetherness (I donā€™t know the titles, sorry).
Itā€™s so frustrating & it causes my husband ā€” and by extension me ā€” so much irritation and pain. I canā€™t figure out a way to deal with it except to cut contact, which I naively never wanted to do for various reasons. We have now, mostly. But to bring it full circle, it just seems like another case of entitlement. It doesnā€™t matter what we want, clearly, or whatā€™s in our best interest. The Higher Purpose is more important.
Itā€™s all so intrusive and draining. And seeing that attitude play out in the public arena is upsetting. And it boggles my mind when current members of the Church present themselves as unaware of the wreckage that gets left in their wake sometimes. You donā€™t understand why Iā€™m not jumping at the opportunity to join you or think that your virtuosity may not be real? I donā€™t know what to tell you, look around.
(Thanks for being my therapist, Reddit. I donā€™t really need advice, this is more of a vent. Thanks for hearing me out.)

2024.05.16 20:10 SlimeSpree Mythical Mushbunny Review (with pics!)

Mythical Mushbunny Review (with pics!)
Hey folks! I'm catching up on posting a few reviews today. Starting it off with...
Mythical Mushbunny
6-8oz for $15-19
All the jars were individually wrapped in bubble wrap and my order came with the sweetest hand written card, free activator, a couple of Hi Chews, a Totoro pencil case and a free slime. Absolutely awesome label designs which were not waterproof but gloss so somewhat wipeable.
https://preview.redd.it/iyl2lixiit0d1.jpg?width=1958&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b98524b1aacb4afc11494a27c5eab9645ecf9352

  • JUST DUCKY (Jelly, sunscreen scent)
Smells just like a nice sunscreen, I really loved this scent despite it not being my usual preference! A nice thick, well activated jelly slime with big moist clicks which is not in the least bit sticky. It gets nice and chubby as you play and is full of big, satisfying bubble pops. Really the perfect jelly slime and made me feel amazing playing with it on the first really warm day of the year with the scent and pool theme. The duck charm is actually a ring style pool floatie, not a rubber duck style ducky.
Summer is here!

  • BUN BUNā€™S BOBA SHOP (cleaT&G avalanche, caramel boba milk tea scented)
So well presented with the add ins in a little boba cup. I like that the topper is also scented. The base smells just like brown sugar boba and is well activated and clicky. Good firm, gummy stretch with resistance that sticks around as you play, which is always great! Quite matte and gets more so as you play. A tiny bit of stickiness that activator dealt with. Very decent slime!
https://preview.redd.it/rcud3g8ljt0d1.jpg?width=6225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd6ab28a37b2f9ac04251640345fe70ccccc2c60

  • ELUTHERA (coated cleaT&G/perlite & lava rock, dragon fruit scented)
Looks so cool assembled, like some sort of space. rockpool and has a nice, fresh dragon fruit scent. This is a lovely thick and glossy, super resistant and extra thick. Tons of big bubble pops, crackles and snaps. The perlite and lava rock pieces are very small making it not particularly pokey. I thought they added visual interest too. Thus was very nicely designed slime that I really enjoyed playing with. The metallic finish fish charms were alot cooler than I captured in the pics.
https://preview.redd.it/dn0qtpqpjt0d1.jpg?width=6067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95a35c57ba2e1dcf19df62e0c03c558172fbe0b1
https://preview.redd.it/a6uw7a95wt0d1.jpg?width=2676&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bdb856d9d8c1e3af1cac877db47fc777955cd6f9
  • BUN BUN SMASH (thick coated clear, Brazilian bum bum cream scented)
Iā€™m not sure what Iā€™m looking for comparison-wise with the scent but itā€™s great! It reminds me of the sort of skin care scents you may encounter in a fancy, beachfront aesthetician in a hot country. This is a very attractive looking slime, the silica crystals almost glow! Unfortunately, they did fall out quite a bit when I stretched but I didnā€™t find them too pokey and thought they were so visually pleasing. Iā€™m glad they were included despite the fall out.
There are so many ways to skin a cat with a pigmented coated clear but this is a really fun and unique effort. A nice, thick and chubby clear, not sticky and full of clicks, big bubble pops and crackles, aided by the crystals. I was able to poke without stubbing my fingers too much on them. This was a really cool slime!
https://preview.redd.it/3ei8to14kt0d1.jpg?width=4500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4badeafcf9688cfc183c849e44b9cd13cf33ce83
https://preview.redd.it/qiwregt1wt0d1.jpg?width=2910&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40a8342e1ad9d8dfd1548964837c91860abe328f
  • DONUT SHOP (T&G, fresh hot donut scented)
The scent is very nice, certainly warm, fresh donut leaning although there are subtle notes of perfume. This is a lovely, super thick slime with tons of resistance that hangs around even as it warms, I really appreciate this about MMBā€™s T&Gs. Slightly inflatable with medium clicks, decent pops and plenty of chewy stretch.
https://preview.redd.it/yz3dc63lkt0d1.jpg?width=5562&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79e72b2938c82bb3ac18e08861bd1dc0f8ba066b

  • SLEEPY SEADOG (DIY clay/butter, creamy vanilla icing scented)
Prepare to feel like a monster when you squish these gorgeous, beautifully made little seals! šŸ„ŗ My childhood plushie was a seal so this was a particularly difficult one! haha! My terrible guilt aside, they were excellent, soft clay pieces to smoosh! Unfortunately they did get a tad squished on their journey as is frequently the way with clay pieces. The scent was perfectly pleasant with notes of candy, cake and vanilla but missed the realism mark for me just slightly. A lovely, soft, moist, inflatable and very stretchable clay texture. I wasn't strictly getting butter vibes as it retained just enough T&G characteristics to give it great clicks and sharper bubble pops and was quite shiny but thatā€™s not a complaint. It had nice soft sizzles and was well formulated. It was gorgeous!
https://preview.redd.it/2553avxwkt0d1.jpg?width=4341&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed9c483ef5c255a323322e748ebf9fec27ffd885

  • MOTHER OF PEARL (coated clear, black raspberry and vanilla scented)
Iā€™m picking up raspberry and vanilla with slight fruity and perfume notes. A perfectly pleasant scent but missing the bourbon creaminess I look for in anything vanilla. Itā€™s such a shame how hard it is to pick up the gorgeous pearlescence in these metallic pigmented clears in pics. This was so beautiful, ultra thick and chubby with amazing resistance once again. Clicky with huge snaps, crackles and bubble pops. Top quality!
https://preview.redd.it/xz5ul4capt0d1.jpg?width=4734&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66574e1b40cf22e3ce087f25426d8f85c77ff21a
The beautiful pink, green and cyan tones are so much prettier than I could capture but this gives you an idea!

  • SHARK MOCHI (DIY clay/cloud creme, guava juice scented)
The scent is pleasant and fresh but oh lawd, why did I sign up to squish such cute little creatures!! These clay pieces are darling and just so well made! These were, however, a little bit drier than the last cute clay critters I brutally killed. This combines to a very soft, fairly loose and stretchy consistency, nice and clicky with good bubble, pops, and crackles. I personally prefer a slightly dryer, more holdable feel to my cloud creams so they can inflate like crazy and give me insane soft sizzles but this was still super nice, just a little loose and soft for me, which is a personal taste thing of course.
https://preview.redd.it/scvtprg1vt0d1.jpg?width=5511&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7a90a676aea028a202934902895fb193da578a7

  • RAIN FROG (sandy Cleatextured butter, vetiver scented)
A pleasant vetiver scent which has just the right fresh, grassy qualities to represent a desert rain frog. If you donā€™t like vetiver you may find the scent a little overpowering and, fair warning, it does linger on the hands. The fact this guy was cute AND staring at me angrily made it even harder to squish him, I was expecting him to sound out the angry rain frog protest "meeeeee!" noise at any point! LOL! These clays are just something else, some of the coolest clays Iā€™ve encountered in slime. He was just gorgeous and Iā€™m just SO SORRY I had to smoosh the beautiful little guy!! He was nice and soft and very enjoyable to squish even though I felt like Satan.
The top layer of the base is a nice thick jelly with an incredibly satisfying biscuit of crunchy sand below. This was pure ecstasy to combine with glorious ASMR scrunching sounds. This combined into the most glorious turquoise color, reminiscent of the gemstone. This was an absolutely delightful slime to handle, incredibly massaging on the hands and just perfect sounding and looking. The best crackly, LOUD soft sizzles you could dream of and good bubble pops. Its only caveat was the fact the sand did drop out quite a bit. As you may have guessed I absolutely loved this slime and would 100% buy it again.
https://preview.redd.it/ffg1aw8kvt0d1.jpg?width=5798&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db8068d29a97ee2fbbd8a84b1ceede6edfe8a1c6
\"Meeeeeeeeee!\" šŸ˜  LOL!
https://preview.redd.it/bja91b4vvt0d1.jpg?width=2759&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75d235c1187ec50565ac8aa5f0fc378956f8833c

  • Free slime SEA GLASS V2 (coated cleaperlite, sea breeze, florals and tropical fruit scented.
The scent was a little lost on me, it was reminiscent of laundry detergent. This was a spectacularly fizzy sounding slime. It wasnā€™t too pokey and had crazy crackles and sizzles with inflation. It fizzed like an Alka-Seltzer when you inflated it and pressed down. It was a little bit tacky and stuck to my play area a fair bit. I didnā€™t get the biggest pops out of this, but the sizzles and crackles were excellent.
https://preview.redd.it/ejctp30zvt0d1.jpg?width=5534&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cae35616fcd867fd2570734819060287ff27a6e
I loved my experience with MMB from beginning to end! Right from the get go when I encountered the sweet, personalised, handwritten card. The charms were great, the packaging excellent and the clays incredible, some of the nicest I have encountered. I found the textures unique, innovative, sophisticated and well formulated/activated. The scents were interesting and had more hits than misses for me despite being different to my typical preferences. Really, my only complaint is that the labels were not waterproof. This is undoubtably going to be one of the companies on my short list to purchase from repeatedly! 9.9/10

2024.05.16 20:02 DTG_Bot This Week in Destiny 05/16/2024

Source: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid-05-16-2024
This week in Destiny, we are a little over two weeks away from the launch of The Final Shape. From The Witness to the Dread to Prismatic to Exotic class items, and more, there are so many things to be excited about. And today, we have even more to share with you, including some system updates and reworks that will also happen at launch. So, without further ado, letā€™s get into it!
Topics for this week:
  • Weapons tuning recap.
  • Build your arsenal shorts.
  • Enhanced perk updates.
  • Memento changes.
  • Reduced Fragment costs at Ikora in The Final Shape
  • New boss profile for The Pantheon.
  • Zero Hour Exotic mission is live.
  • METORO webcomic feature.
  • Destiny 2 Content Vault updates.

Weapons Tuning Recap

Image Linkimgur
Yesterday, we shared details about our plans for weapons tuning in The Final Shape. This includes a change to some weapon mod specs, weapon balancing, and perk updates. For more details, check out our Dev Insight: Weapons Tuning Preview blog.

Build Your Arsenal

As the excitement for The Final Shape is ramping up, weā€™re sharing a first look at some of the Exotic weapons and armor you can expect to see. Check them out and start cooking up those builds!

Enhancement in The Final Shape

During the Lightfall year, players have gotten a taste of weapon enhancement with the raid Adept weapons from Root of Nightmares and Crota's End. In The Final Shape, you'll see that this system has undergone some upgrades, making enhancing your weapons easier and allowing us to comfortably expand this system to include more weapons. Hereā€™s a quick recap on how weapon enhancement will work alongside some of the changes:
  • Weapon enhancement allows the weapon to be upgraded to receive enhanced traits, a weapon level, and a memento socket. To upgrade your weapon, players can navigate to the inspection screen and insert the enhancement tier mod for standard currencies (raid Adept weapons will continue to use Spoils of Conquest).
Image Linkimgur
  • Enhancement Tier 1:
    • Replaces your Masterwork and provides the weapon with an enhanced intrinsic that matches the stat of your old Masterwork.
    • Provides a weapon level, a date when you first enhanced the weapon, and a memento socket.
    • Raid Adepts only: Since these weapons have a base-crafted version, we want the Adept versions to feel like a meaningful upgrade. Therefore, these weapons can visit the Relic on Mars to adjust their first two columns (typically barrels/magazines) in a similar fashion to how crafted weapons can augment these perk columns.
  • Enhancement Tier 2 (weapon level 11 requirement):
    • Once the player inserts this mod, the left column trait(s) will automatically be upgraded to their enhanced perks. If you have multiple perks, this will update all traits in the column. Players will not need to visit the Relic on Mars to update these traits anymore.
  • Enhancement Tier 3 (weapon level 17 requirement):
    • Once the player applies this mod, the right column weapon trait perks will automatically be updated to be enhanced. Like the left column, this will upgrade all of the traits present and does not require visiting the Relic.
Image Linkimgur
We've heard the feedback that weapons should have more avenues to acquire enhanced traits. In The Final Shape, all new weapons will either be craftable or have access to weapon enhancement. In addition, weapons that remain active drops in the following activities will be eligible for enhancement:
  • Vow of the Disciple raid Adepts
  • Guardian Games
  • King's Fall raid Adepts
  • Gambit
  • Competitive Crucible (all of them)
  • Trials of Osiris
  • Crucible
  • Iron Banner
  • Vanguard Ops
  • Nightfalls
  • Prophecy Dungeon
This will include older instances of these weapons, as long as they have an origin trait. Unfortunately, due to some technical constraints, there are a handful of weapons instances from before Season 17 that have origin traits and are active drops, but they will not be eligible for weapon enhancement. If a weapon is not actively dropping in these activities and playlists or itā€™s under the legacy focusing options, it will not be enhance-able when The Final Shape releases. If weapons are reissued and become a part of a playlist's active drops once again, we'll update older versions that have origin traits to enter weapon enhancement.

Mementos in The Final Shape

We've received a lot of feedback on weapon mementos, especially as new mementos have released in our seasonal events. In The Final Shape, we have a few changes coming that impact how you store mementos and apply them to your weapons.
  • Crafted and enhanced weapons will no longer need to visit the Relic on Mars to apply mementos. Players can apply the memento of their choosing directly in the weapon inspection screen.
  • Memento stack cap limits will be raised from 1 to 3.
  • Mementos will no longer be stored alongside the player's consumables. When The Final Shape launches, your mementos under consumables will show as faded. Then, once the faded memento is dismantled, you'll see +1 memento added in the weapon inspection screen as a virtual currency. For players who figured out how to get around the original memento stack size limits, this will allow you to dismantle all those mementos safely, even if you temporarily go over the intended stack limit of three. If you are holding three (or more) of a particular memento, it will not drop again until you spend your mementos to be under the stack size limit of three.

Reduced Fragment Costs at Ikora In The Final Shape

Subclass Fragments purchasable from Ikora are expensive, particularly considering how many there are, especially for New Lights. In The Final Shape, we have reduced the cost of Fragments from 25000 Glimmer to 10000 Glimmer. Our goal here is to make these vital build-crafting elements more accessible for new and returning players.

The Pantheon Grows Stronger

Another week, and your task has become more difficult, Guardians. Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness, has joined The Pantheon, and weā€™ve gathered intel for your mission.
VANGUARD ā€“ GUARDIAN DISPATCH ā€“ ALL POINTS BULLETIN
DEFENDERS OF THE CITY,
You are tasked with the elimination of the following target:

-RHULK, DISCIPLE OF THE WITNESS-
Image Linkimgur
CLASSIFICATION
  • The last-known Lubraean
  • First Disciple of the Witness
  • Other names: The Upender, Worm Father
  • Dread
  • Resonant
HAZARDS
  • Darkness mastery
  • Immeasurable strength and durability
  • Powerful Lubraeā€™s Ruin Glaive
  • Suns of Lubrae attack and debuff
  • Savage Strike kick
  • Umbral Suffocation attack
  • Teleportation
  • Resonant Spikes area effect
  • Guardians rated Sigma-3 or lower are advised not to engage
INTEL
  • Rhulk was born on the planet Lubrae, a world originally blessed by the Traveler that spiraled into an authoritarian regime when the Traveler left. Fueled by rage, Rhulk sought to destroy the regime, but his bloodlust led to being ostracized from his clan. Eventually, afraid of what heā€™d become, his clan attempted to kill him.
  • Decrypted records from the Pyramid indicate that the Witness made contact with Rhulk during this time, restored him, and empowered him as the first Disciple. Rhulk took his vengeance on Lubrae, annihilating its parent star and destroying the planet.
  • Vanguard power assessments place Rhulk far above any previous enemy faced by any Guardian. Battle scholars theorize the bold fireteam that stormed the sunken Pyramid only prevailed due to Rhulkā€™s humoring a fight to begin with. But prevail they did.
OF NOTE
  • Hidden cipher-sequences buried in the symbols throughout have been decrypted by a pioneering Cryptarch, thanks to countless fireteams keeping the way clear. The solved sequence is believed to be astronomical coordinates to Lubrae. (Probe dispatchedā€¦ awaiting arrival.)
  • The creation of the Hive was majorly influenced by Rhulk. The first Disciple of the Witness subjugated the Worm mother, Xita, and forced her spawn into union with the Krill, which led to the Hive species and the Hive Gods themselves.
  • Cryptarchs have uncovered communications between Rhulk and SavathĆ»n in which SavathĆ»n derides Rhulkā€™s simplicity as a tactician. According to the Witch Queen, the first Disciple only values strength, and his downfall will be his brute force approach to every situation.

Zero Hour Exotic Mission Is Live

Image Linkimgur
The Zero Hour Exotic mission is now live. If you havenā€™t jumped in yet, you can find it in the Into the Light node in the Director. Completing the mission in the required timeframe will earn you the Outbreak Perfected Exotic Pulse Rifle.
As we mentioned last week, weā€™re celebrating the release by asking you to share your favorite moments with TR3-VR. Post your favorite art, screenshots, videos, or memes ā€” anything that shows your love for our favorite overly attached robot. Just use the hashtag #MyFriendTR3VR. Weā€™ll be giving our favorites an Art or Movie of the Week emblem and sharing your creations in a future TWID.

DESTINY CONTENT VAULT UPDATES

With the start of Year 7 of Destiny 2, on June 4 certain items will be deprecated from player inventories that correspond with vaulted activities and seasonal campaigns. They will then be moved into the Destiny Content Vault.
We have updated the Destiny Content Vault article to reflect these changes and created a new article fully outlining Items Being Deprecated at the Start of Year 7 for players to reference.

PARENTAL CONTROLS

Parents, guardians, and other responsible adults are now able to adjust their childā€™s Destiny 2 settings.
To set up parental controls, both the child and their adult need a Bungie.net account, and we will need to verify that the person providing consent and setting controls is an adult. We have created a Parental Controls Help article with details explaining how to create an account and instructions on linking it to your child's.
We have also updated our privacy policy. Please visit Bungie.net to create or manage your account and set your preferences today.

KNOWN ISSUES

While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:
  • Capturing a zone in the Collision PvP game mode while having full super energy will slightly reduce Super energy.
  • Tormentors can push turrets away in Onslaught with their slam or grab attacks.
  • The Zero Deaths Triumph only unlocks when completing Zero Hour on the Legend difficulty, which should unlock on both Normal and Legend difficulties.
For a full list of emergent issues in Destiny 2, players can review our Known Issues article.
If you observe other issues, please report them to our #Help forum.

Thatā€™s everything we have for this week. Hopefully youā€™ve been having fun on the new PvP maps. We know there is a lot to do in these final weeks before The Final Shape, but if you havenā€™t checked the PvP maps out yet, jump into the New Territory playlist to give them a try. Not only are they beautiful and fun, you can also earn the Slaycation emblem by checking them out.
Weā€™ll be back next week with another TWID and more details to share on The Final Shape. In the meantime, be good to each other, and thanks for hanging out with us.

Enhancement in The Final Shape

During the Lightfall year, players have gotten a taste of weapon enhancement with the raid Adept weapons from Root of Nightmares and Crota's End. In The Final Shape, you'll see that this system has undergone some upgrades, making enhancing your weapons easier and allowing us to comfortably expand this system to include more weapons. Hereā€™s a quick recap on how weapon enhancement will work alongside some of the changes:
  • Weapon enhancement allows the weapon to be upgraded to receive enhanced traits, a weapon level, and a memento socket. To upgrade your weapon, players can navigate to the inspection screen and insert the enhancement tier mod for standard currencies (raid Adept weapons will continue to use Spoils of Conquest).
Image Linkimgur
  • Enhancement Tier 1:
    • Replaces your Masterwork and provides the weapon with an enhanced intrinsic that matches the stat of your old Masterwork.
    • Provides a weapon level, a date when you first enhanced the weapon, and a memento socket.
    • Raid Adepts only: Since these weapons have a base-crafted version, we want the Adept versions to feel like a meaningful upgrade. Therefore, these weapons can visit the Relic on Mars to adjust their first two columns (typically barrels/magazines) in a similar fashion to how crafted weapons can augment these perk columns.
  • Enhancement Tier 2 (weapon level 11 requirement):
    • Once the player inserts this mod, the left column trait(s) will automatically be upgraded to their enhanced perks. If you have multiple perks, this will update all traits in the column. Players will not need to visit the Relic on Mars to update these traits anymore.
  • Enhancement Tier 3 (weapon level 17 requirement):
    • Once the player applies this mod, the right column weapon trait perks will automatically be updated to be enhanced. Like the left column, this will upgrade all of the traits present and does not require visiting the Relic.
Image Linkimgur
We've heard the feedback that weapons should have more avenues to acquire enhanced traits. In The Final Shape, all new weapons will either be craftable or have access to weapon enhancement. In addition, weapons that remain active drops in the following activities will be eligible for enhancement:
  • Vow of the Disciple raid Adepts
  • Guardian Games
  • King's Fall raid Adepts
  • Gambit
  • Competitive Crucible (all of them)
  • Trials of Osiris
  • Crucible
  • Iron Banner
  • Vanguard Ops
  • Nightfalls
  • Prophecy Dungeon
This will include older instances of these weapons, as long as they have an origin trait. Unfortunately, due to some technical constraints, there are a handful of weapons instances from before Season 17 that have origin traits and are active drops, but they will not be eligible for weapon enhancement. If a weapon is not actively dropping in these activities and playlists or itā€™s under the legacy focusing options, it will not be enhance-able when The Final Shape releases. If weapons are reissued and become a part of a playlist's active drops once again, we'll update older versions that have origin traits to enter weapon enhancement.

Mementos in The Final Shape

We've received a lot of feedback on weapon mementos, especially as new mementos have released in our seasonal events. In The Final Shape, we have a few changes coming that impact how you store mementos and apply them to your weapons.
  • Crafted and enhanced weapons will no longer need to visit the Relic on Mars to apply mementos. Players can apply the memento of their choosing directly in the weapon inspection screen.
  • Memento stack cap limits will be raised from 1 to 3.
  • Mementos will no longer be stored alongside the player's consumables. When The Final Shape launches, your mementos under consumables will show as faded. Then, once the faded memento is dismantled, you'll see +1 memento added in the weapon inspection screen as a virtual currency. For players who figured out how to get around the original memento stack size limits, this will allow you to dismantle all those mementos safely, even if you temporarily go over the intended stack limit of three. If you are holding three (or more) of a particular memento, it will not drop again until you spend your mementos to be under the stack size limit of three.

Reduced Fragment Costs at Ikora In The Final Shape

Subclass Fragments purchasable from Ikora are expensive, particularly considering how many there are, especially for New Lights. In The Final Shape, we have reduced the cost of Fragments from 25000 Glimmer to 10000 Glimmer. Our goal here is to make these vital build-crafting elements more accessible for new and returning players.

The Pantheon Grows Stronger

Another week, and your task has become more difficult, Guardians. Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness, has joined The Pantheon, and weā€™ve gathered intel for your mission.
VANGUARD ā€“ GUARDIAN DISPATCH ā€“ ALL POINTS BULLETIN
DEFENDERS OF THE CITY,
You are tasked with the elimination of the following target:

-RHULK, DISCIPLE OF THE WITNESS-
Image Linkimgur
CLASSIFICATION
  • The last-known Lubraean
  • First Disciple of the Witness
  • Other names: The Upender, Worm Father
  • Dread
  • Resonant
HAZARDS
  • Darkness mastery
  • Immeasurable strength and durability
  • Powerful Lubraeā€™s Ruin Glaive
  • Suns of Lubrae attack and debuff
  • Savage Strike kick
  • Umbral Suffocation attack
  • Teleportation
  • Resonant Spikes area effect
  • Guardians rated Sigma-3 or lower are advised not to engage
INTEL
  • Rhulk was born on the planet Lubrae, a world originally blessed by the Traveler that spiraled into an authoritarian regime when the Traveler left. Fueled by rage, Rhulk sought to destroy the regime, but his bloodlust led to being ostracized from his clan. Eventually, afraid of what heā€™d become, his clan attempted to kill him.
  • Decrypted records from the Pyramid indicate that the Witness made contact with Rhulk during this time, restored him, and empowered him as the first Disciple. Rhulk took his vengeance on Lubrae, annihilating its parent star and destroying the planet.
  • Vanguard power assessments place Rhulk far above any previous enemy faced by any Guardian. Battle scholars theorize the bold fireteam that stormed the sunken Pyramid only prevailed due to Rhulkā€™s humoring a fight to begin with. But prevail they did.
OF NOTE
  • Hidden cipher-sequences buried in the symbols throughout have been decrypted by a pioneering Cryptarch, thanks to countless fireteams keeping the way clear. The solved sequence is believed to be astronomical coordinates to Lubrae. (Probe dispatchedā€¦ awaiting arrival.)
  • The creation of the Hive was majorly influenced by Rhulk. The first Disciple of the Witness subjugated the Worm mother, Xita, and forced her spawn into union with the Krill, which led to the Hive species and the Hive Gods themselves.
  • Cryptarchs have uncovered communications between Rhulk and SavathĆ»n in which SavathĆ»n derides Rhulkā€™s simplicity as a tactician. According to the Witch Queen, the first Disciple only values strength, and his downfall will be his brute force approach to every situation.

Zero Hour Exotic Mission Is Live

The Zero Hour Exotic mission is now live. If you havenā€™t jumped in yet, you can find it in the Into the Light node in the Director. Completing the mission in the required timeframe will earn you the Outbreak Perfected Exotic Pulse Rifle.
As we mentioned last week, weā€™re celebrating the release by asking you to share your favorite moments with TR3-VR. Post your favorite art, screenshots, videos, or memes ā€” anything that shows your love for our favorite overly attached robot. Just use the hashtag #MyFriendTR3VR. Weā€™ll be giving our favorites an Art or Movie of the Week emblem and sharing your creations in a future TWID.

Designer Insight: The Art of Sky

https://preview.redd.it/1i23pcblrt0d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae1c6b6877404a6be24ee56494370446b6cb2888

Why did we make an Art Book?

From early 2012 and throughout development, it became apparent from the volume of iteration that a possible art book could exist one day. Mountains of sketchbooks, paintings, files, and documents were carefully stored, and as the game took shape, the ideas that blossomed and evolved into a rich and vibrant Sky world were assembled into a veritable treasure trove, The Art of Sky.
ā€œIt's a documentation of the creative process that we went through that the community and the fans can actually see.ā€
ā€• Cecil Kim (Studio Art Director)
https://preview.redd.it/3mp7iueort0d1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5af4487d0ccc5f2f26b142f7b87a010518fee0c4

What has the process looked like?

The Art of Sky book has been in production for three years. A lot of time and careful attention was put into researching how to guarantee the level of quality and thoughtful presentation that Sky fans have come to expect. Our production process ensures that the artwork and memories within this book accurately convey the story of Sky's development from TGC's perspective.
ā€œGoing back and digging up all the sketches and artwork weā€™ve created and how I was able to trace my memories back and walk the steps that I took in those seven years was interesting. It was refreshing to remember the feeling, emotion, and excitement that I had at the time, and also the worries and uncertainties.ā€
ā€• Yui Tanabe (Visual Development Lead)

What makes this book so special?

We wanted to push the boundaries of what defines an art book. Not only does it showcase the remarkable sketches, paintings, and concepts that laid the foundations for the game, it is a deep reflection on the emotional highs and lows behind the scenes experienced by TGC during the process of developing Sky.
The book is a true celebration of quality and design, crafted with premium materials to ensure faithful and accurate reproduction of the artworks and the commentary that accompany them. In addition, a special STAR feature has been developed and embedded into the book, giving you an exclusive, unique perspective of the game.
https://preview.redd.it/gbqy3jcvrt0d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a5cbb72de373bc5b5762dda79c83e616d50c8b3
ā€œI think whatā€™s unique about this art book is that we really wanted to invite the reader to feel like they have a seat at the table, as though they were there at the time as an artist or developer alongside thatgamecompany.ā€
ā€• Jennie Kong (Narrative Writer)

Why did we include fanart in this book?

Community takes pride of place at the heart of Sky. With so many talented fan artists sharing their unique perspectives and interpretations of Sky, it felt important to include some of these fan-created artworks in The Art of Sky. Towards the end of 2021 and start of 2022, TGC curated a small selection of fan art they enjoyed, and after consulting with the artists, these pieces found a special place in a section at the end of the book, aptly named "Orbit".
"Orbit" spans ten pages (242-251), eight of which showcase the fan art, and is included as an additional extra to a full and comprehensive exploration of Sky's development.
We understand the decision to include a selection of fan art may be considered unusual for fans in some countries, and we appreciate the opportunity to learn from these perspectives for future projects. We sincerely hope you're able to enjoy this brief flight through "Orbit", as a celebratory conclusion to TGC's visual odyssey through the development of Sky!

Did we include a STAR feature?

We try to find ways to make owning Sky merchandise more than simply owning a product. The same design principle is true for the art book, so we gave it the STAR treatment! Images and captions from the book were thoughtfully selected and referenced to create a set of captivating behind-the-scenes experiences which can be shared with friends!
Please note: The STAR feature can currently be scanned only on compatible mobile and Nintendo Switch devices.

What materials and processes did we use for production?

The dust jacket of The Art of Sky offers both protection and a pleasing aesthetic. Employing a double-layer embossed printing technique and premium protective material, it achieves a delicate three-dimensional effect. Underneath lies a hardcover bound in cloth in a customized classic TGC blue color, pearlescent paper, and an embossed effect that depicts two Sky kids holding hands. This collision of color and texture results in a beautifully minimalistic exterior.
https://preview.redd.it/vfngbb9ast0d1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20eb76352e7f0543fd46bf992e058a0ef17a7720

Contained inside is an 8" NFC signal shielding card that protects the STAR chip. Printed with classic Sky imagery, this shielding card must be unsealed and removed in order to use the STAR feature. You may wish to re-use this card wherever you would like the added security of a signal shielding card, or keep it for display as a collectable postcard! This card is a small token gift to keep your STAR chip safe from unauthorized use prior to its arrival.
A special glow-in-the-dark blue fire icon greets you inside the book. May it glow in the darkness and guide you as you explore the unknown world of Sky with us. Additionally, each book is individually numbered. Your unique number is displayed next to a candle icon towards the back of the book. What will your "candle count" be?
https://preview.redd.it/q00o6l6mst0d1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c346e9570e413163e39daac22916a3a1bf68a9dc
The text and image pages are printed on premium speciality paper with excellent color reproduction, while the chapter pages featuring hand-drawn sketches are printed on vintage-effect paper to give a unique reading experience. The edges of the pages are wrapped in a custom light silver effect to give a charming uniform appearance.
https://preview.redd.it/6a4uqglqst0d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eee62ff3b874e5a7b786ba0e194193090edfe739
As a pre-order bonus, a collectible set of 8 postcards and 3 posters will be included, making it a truly unique collectorā€™s item worth cherishing. Just as each Child of Light brings us inspiration, we hope that each intricate detail we lovingly present can also ignite the light of exploration in your heart, inspire your creativity and passion, and warmly accompany you on your journey through life.
https://preview.redd.it/875v5h5tst0d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bff6711e2b4d53f6e04dce6c9749e68b0f94af70

What is our hope for this book?

Our biggest hope is that this book will continue to foster a deeper connection between fans of Sky and the developers of the game. Through this book you can explore the intricacies involved in the evolution of ideas which ultimately determined what Sky: Children of the Light became at launch.
Sharing TGCā€™s development process will hopefully inspire future generations of players, artists, and developers who will one day tell their own stories through the medium of video games.
ā€œArtworks are a tool of communication to make the final product. We didnā€™t make our art pieces to hang on the wall, we sketched some things on scraps of paper and some of those ideas became the trigger to make something that ended up becoming a great game.ā€ ā€• Yui Tanabe
ā€œItā€™s inspiring to see that so many interesting ideas were recorded in this book. I hope that future artists and game designers can be inspired by what weā€™ve recorded in this book when they make their own games or tell their own stories. This is something weā€™re very proud of.ā€ ā€• Cecil Kim

Do we have any special events planned?

We have some wonderful book-signing opportunities and offline shop events planned for this year. Please keep an eye on social media for exciting announcements from TGC and thatskyshop!

Do we accept feedback?

We understand how important it is to listen to our customers. You are very welcome to contact us at littleoreo@thatskyshop.com to provide your feedback! How has your customer experience been? Are there products that you would like to see return to the store? Are there new products you would like us to develop in the future? Drop us an email and let us know!

2024.05.16 20:00 UNAdmissions Iā€™m an AO at Nevadaā€™s flagship public research university and I think weā€™re underrated. Hereā€™s why.

Campus: The University straddles the old and the new. It turns 150 next year and it has a traditional, collegiate, brick and ivy campus. Classical architecture, a sprawling Jeffersonian quad, and designated a state arboretum. Pair that with almost $1 billion in construction in the last 15 years. New library, residence halls, math and science building, engineering building, business building under construction. Also recently acquired Sierra Nevada University which is now a satellite campus called the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe.
Why underrated? 1. National brand hasnā€™t caught up with the enormous growth in recent years and 2. Perceptions of campus are tied to perceptions of the city of Reno.
Location: Reno, Nevada is probably most known for casinos, desert, and Reno 911. Less known is that Reno is situated in a beautiful valley on the eastern front of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. 4 seasons, 300+ days of sunshine and unparalleled access to the outdoors. 35 minutes from campus to the chairlift at Mt. Rose ski resort and less than an hour to 10 different ski and snowboard resorts including Palisades, home of the 1960 winter Olympics. 45 minutes from campus to the beaches of Lake Tahoe and everything the Tahoe basin has to offer. Hiking, mountain biking, snow shoeing, you name it. The city itself is transforming its local economy to include a huge range of engineering firms, tech startups, government contractors, advanced manufacturing, and logistics. Itā€™s also driving distance to major NorCal population centers. 2 hours to Sac, 4 hours to SF and Silicon Valley.
Why underrated? Reno NV is known more for being the butt of jokes and less known for its incredible access to the outdoors and growing tech-focused economy.
Academics: 145 undergraduate programs, each with their own unique bright spots. The most prominent programs right now are probably within the College of Engineering because of the huge investment in facilities and faculty. There are the big, popular standbys like CS with great connections to Silicon Valley that send a lot of students to the bay area for summer internships. But thereā€™s also great niche programs like batteries and energy storage systems. Nursing attracts a lot of students because of our partnership with local hospitals and recent ranking as the top nursing program in the country. Pre-med programs are always popular with well-established pathway programs like Biochem and Molecular Bio, Biomed engineering, Public Health, etc. These are also strengthened by close ties to the University of Nevada Medical School on the north end of campus with many faculty teaching at both the undergrad and MD level. And for those that just want to make lots of money right out of college weā€™ve got some incredibly in-demand earth science programs (Geophysics, Mining Engineering, Hydrogeology, etc.) that supply Nevadaā€™s hugely important mining industry.
Why underrated? Universities that admit elite high school students should be expected to produce elite college graduates. But thatā€™s not necessarily indicative of institutional quality, itā€™s just indicative of how well the admissions office curated a class of high achievers. Whatā€™s impressive is admitting a wide swath of the population and then transforming that diverse group of students in to capable graduates who are ready to go off and live happy, healthy, productive lives.
Student Life: NCAA Division 1 sports, Greek Life, 200+ clubs and orgs, award winning student newspaper, and incredible study abroad program. No matter how you want to spend your time outside of the classroom youā€™ll find your people. Thereā€™s always something happening on or around campus and one thing youā€™ll notice when you visit is how much school pride everyone has.
Why underrated? Maybe if our athletics office had more success it would be better known but I think our students can take pride in the fact that their tuition doesnā€™t supplement a huge bloated athletics office. But youā€™ll still regularly catch Nevada on the national stage in NCAA tournaments or bowl games.
Cost/Financial aid: This is a big one for me. Full cost of attendance (tuition, fees, room, board, and books) for an out of state student is about $40,000. Most of our out of state students come from western states and qualify for WUE which drops it to $27,000. In state students pay $23,000. Most R1 schools in the west arenā€™t as generous with WUE and so for many students looking at our peers they can expect to pay closer to UC Davisā€™ (next geographically closest R1) whopping $72,000.
Why underrated? The way I like to frame it to prospective students is this: Letā€™s say youā€™d pay $45k more per year (Davis 72k minus our WUE 27k) to go to a different R1 research university. Thatā€™s $180k more for a bachelorā€™s degree. The list of schools and programs where it makes sense to spend that extra $180k is very, very short.

Science Fiction Inspired Designs and Inventions
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic - Arthur C Clarke
Science fiction has always been a precursor to science fact, especially when it comes to Science fiction-inspired designs and inventions. Most complex technologies begin with the germ of an idea in the mind of a creative person and more often than not, it's a science fiction writer.
Ideation is the first and most important and often the most complex part of any invention. This is why science fiction writers are always ahead of scientists when it comes to the conceptualization of future tech.
https://preview.redd.it/xogckxwzst0d1.jpg?width=286&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12a7ba9f871ec281fa398cd5bdb99d431e1703c5
After envisioning a technology in detail you can bring the engineers to map out what needs doing and what can't be done. The next step would be building a prototype that is sufficient for testing and making it suitable for commercial production.

Science Fiction-Inspired Designs and Inventions

Here we will go through technologies that we take for granted today, but just a few decades ago were purely in the realm of science fiction.

1. Transparent Screen from The Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone by Rod Serling was truly ahead of its time in terms of its sci-fi concepts, dense storylines, and amazing execution. This meant that great episodes used hi-tech concepts judiciously and presented them folded into a larger reality that blew the socks off the viewers.
The reason why it seemed so ahead of its time was that most episodes of this series were inspired by key science fiction authors such as Ray Bradbury, Arthur C Clarke, and Isaac Asimov.
One such awesome storyline involved a society with unique standards of beauty far in the future that had amazing tech gadgets. The episode is named Eye of the Beholder and is fantastically done.
The best piece of tech that stood out in this episode was the transparent screen that slid down from the ceiling and turned opaque during display.
https://preview.redd.it/bszho5y2tt0d1.jpg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb9ed295af0771a5cad6a032f3efffbbe8aa2fad
https://preview.redd.it/yw4vt7y2tt0d1.png?width=1036&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed522f11876966b240dd9b5c68220ae15832599e
https://preview.redd.it/x86096y2tt0d1.png?width=1237&format=png&auto=webp&s=0e1e049ed2d1ec3b39feec7fc716135088dc65d4
Such screens are available only in 2024 ( and showcased in 2023), showcased widely only in the latest installment of Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024. The LG Transparent screen in 2024 grabbed a lot of eyeballs and was the belle of the ball in the display section.
Check out Star Trek: Lower Decks Animated Series: Cracking Jokes with Easter Eggs
The Twilight Zone series got everything right, from the form factor to the actual function of such an amazing invention decades ahead of its time!

2. Flat screen from Star Trek

The Star Trek TOS episode Requiem for Methuselah (Season 3, Episode 19) has a flat-screen LED TV that is complete in its design with the stand and thin bezels exactly as it is commercially available today.
https://preview.redd.it/7982kkw5tt0d1.png?width=799&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0c3f3e6cc0b0153b50a3c2da5555d6e456f3bd1
https://preview.redd.it/fxzvdiw5tt0d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=bea4ff2fef4fa3f7a2332512ac74b0380fea055e
Reyna, Flint's companion watches their guests on their video surveillance system on a Flat Screen TV that is amazingly identical to the ones in production today.
What I loved about this is that, just like the transparent screen mentioned above, it is decades ahead of its time and is perfect in how it has been visualized by the propmasters of the time.

3. Geostationary orbit - Arthur C Clarke

Genre-defining science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke proposed the idea of satellites that could take a Geo-stationary orbit serving the purpose of a radio relay station. This way a third of the Earth's surface could be covered for communication purposes by a single satellite.
https://i.redd.it/b1xoxwh7tt0d1.gif
This idea was first published in the Wireless World October 1945 issue authored by Arthur C Clarke.

Most of our communications networks across the globe today depend on such geostationary satellites, whether it's a smartphone network or a weather station. Considering that the first communications satellite using this tech was launched in Syncom 2 in 1963, Clarke was decades ahead of his time when he came up with this vital concept.

4. The Cellphone - Star Trek Communicator

One of the most iconic symbols of science fiction is the communicator from Star Trek TOS. The unmistakable sound of flipping the communicator open followed by the distinct bird chirp will remind anyone interested in sci-fi of the brilliant device.

It probably inspired the design of the flip phone that was suddenly back in fashion after the introduction of flexible displays. Nothing was closer to this design than the Motorola flip phone or the Sony Ericsson flip phones of the '90s and noughties.

5. Transparent Aluminium - Star Trek

Star Trek IV: The Journey Home was an amazing movie with a lot of the cast from Star Trek TOS. The plot revolves around a bit of time travel and a whole lot of science- fictional or otherwise.
https://preview.redd.it/oadicp3mtt0d1.png?width=842&format=png&auto=webp&s=649ce215bbf84fb2834f92c8321413dd47e52618
James Doohan as Scotty reprises his role as a close friend of Jim Kirk and a brilliant engineer in this movie and solves the problem of transporting marine creatures back to the enterprise. As payment, Scotty offers a unique form of payment to a manufacturing firm on Earth in the past - the formula for transparent Aluminium.

Star Trek introduced the world to transparent aluminum, a concept that was science fiction at the time. However, today, it is known as aluminum oxynitride (AlON), a material that reflects the very prediction of the film, the prediction of quality content.
As of today, transparent aluminum is available commercially across the world and used in applications ranging from armored glass to construction and drone tech.

2024.05.16 19:48 SerenityEnforcer Which Starship Classes Would Be Great Enterprises?

Like many of you, I didnā€™t like how the show discarded the Odyssey Enterprise-F.
It is a beautiful gigantic ship which clearly deserved the name.
The Neo-Constitution Ent-G seems like a joke because of its size ā€” its too small compared to her predecessors, and also a disrespect to the USS Titan-A.
Letā€™s say thereā€™s a new show or movie and they have to choose a new Enterprise. Which ship class would you choose and why?
Or would you create a brand new class which is not present in the lore yet?
For me:
NCC-1701-G: Andromeda Class;
NCC-1701-H: Concorde Class (or some other class similar in size and design to the Odyssey);

Porto Zante Villas & Spa - super luxe & private escape on the lush Ionian island of Zakynthos
Just dropped my review of Porto Zante in FATTravel, because this is one is just FAT, no way around it. But I also want to share with yā€™all in case anyone has a bucket list item for Greece and is looking for a super luxe, private and small escape on the lush Ionian Islands (yes, the Ionian Islands - west of Greece mainland) are super green and lush, in stark contrast to the more famous Cyclades which are much more sparse, stark and have more dramatic cliff lines and less vegetation.
If Kea Islandā€™s design is beautifully modern and somewhat severe to match the stark aesthetic of the sharp cliffs and limited vegetation of the Cyclades - Porto Zanteā€™s vibe is one of warmth and exudes a kind of luxurious, yet quiet homey-ness to mimic the lush, warm nature of the Ionian Islands. As you walk on property it feels like youā€™re being wrapped in a hug (albeit a very expensive and luxurious one). It's a really special place.

2024.05.16 19:17 Electronic_Webber AITAH for telling my girlfriend that some good came from her son's death?

My girlfriend Sue (42f) is the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world to me (37f) but she has a very traumatic past. When she was 18, her parents pretty much married her off to another guy in their church. He was a horrible person and she gave birth before she could even turn 19. For sixteen years, her son was all that she had because of how horrible he was.
But then her son got sick and a few months before he passed, he told Sue that he knew she was a lesbian and begged her to be happy. So, after he did pass, Sue left her husband, she came out and since then, she's done a lot of charitable work with organizations to help queer people and women who were in abusive situations like she was in. She has such a big heart and that's why I fell in love with her.
A few days ago, she was missing her son and was crying and of course she would, it makes sense. And she started telling me how hollow her life has been since he passed and I tried to tell her to look at all the good she's done, look at how happy we are and look at how she's made the world a better place since then and to be proud that he's why she did all of this and that maybe some good came of it. She just gave me a look of disappointment like I'd never understand and told me if God came down and offered her a deal her son alive in exchange for her going back in the closet, being abused by her husband every day, she would take it without even thinking.
Things have been quiet between us since then and I'm wondering, was I the AH? I don't feel like I was.

Canā€™t decide and donā€™t know where to look!
Hello! I tried on dresses and Iā€™m really struggling. More than anything, I want a dress that fits a sort of moody, Old European vibe. I found one that I loved that really fit the bill and another that I loved that ~sort of~ did. My moodboard is the first pic, and Iā€™m really trying to stay true to that. The first dress, I loveddddd! Itā€™s the Alena Leena Veronica dress. I donā€™t have a better picture of the front that I can post! Unfortunately, no one else was really into it. I know that doesnā€™t matter, but I think the criticism was that the square necklines make me look square. Iā€™m open to trying a more rounded neck. The wedding is in May, so I would probably do it without the sleeves. The second is the Alena Leena Calathea. Itā€™s stunningggg in person. The beading is a touch heavy which is why itā€™s in second place. Based on these and the vibe, does anyone have any suggestions about designers/dresses? I live in the South, and itā€™s been so hard to find dresses around me that arenā€™t either too glam or to Joanna Gaines-y (nothing wrong with either of those btw! Beautiful but just not my jam). Thank you!!
