2024.06.09 10:22 Seeker1904 New Utility Item Idea that adds Traversal Powers: The Pocket Watch
“Where would a gentleman be without his trusty timepiece? Though upon closer inspection… it seems that this pocket-watch is anything but ordinary.” – In game description of the pocket-watch.
The pocket watch is a utility item which would allow the Doctor to tap into the otherworldly forces of the mirror dimension to harness supernatural powers. This idea came from a few places. Namely, the pocket watch you can find in the Warehouse area (though at this point it can only be sold for treasure) as well as the watch used to time the generator in Amnesia: The Bunker.
The Doctor would equip the watch in his right hand as he does other weapons. This means that it would not be possible to use the pocket-watch in conjunction with an offensive weapon. Using the primary-fire button, the Doctor would be able to activate the watch and trigger an ability. Pressing the ‘change-ammunition’ key would allow the Doctor to switch between different abilities. Visually, this would be reflected by the whether the glass-locket-doors of the pocket watch are opened, half-opened or closed:
1) Shroud (doors-closed): Upon using the primary-fire button, the Doctor partially phases into the mirror dimension and becomes far harder to spot for a period of time. Even in full light, the Doctor appears as a shadowy and shaded figure. This ability would enable the Doctor to cross dangerous and brightly lit areas. The downside to this is that the Shroud does not negate sound (perhaps as a sort of ‘monkey-paw’ element, using the Shroud could actually increase the sound made by the Doctor).
2) Spring (doors half open): By pressing, the fire button gravity takes on the properties of the Mirror-Dimension. This would function similar to the slow-fall potions in Thief and also allow the Doctor to cross large gaps in a single bound. It would also make falling long distances survivable.
3) Shift (doors open): By pressing the primary-fire button, the Doctor would instantaneously shift forward. This ability would function similarly to the Blink ability in Dishonored and would allow the Doctor to quickly dash from shadow to shadow. By holding and then releasing the primary-fire, the Doctor would be able to target the swoop ability. So as to not be as game-breaking as Blink, the Shift would be very short range and would only act on a horizontal plane. This means no teleporting upwards or scaling large buildings. Additionally, the watch would only be able to hold two charges of the Shift before its ‘ammunition’ is depleted.
Holding the check-ammunition key would cause the Doctor to lift the pocket-watch to his face and view the hands of the pocket-watch. The ‘magazine’ capacity would be indicated by the gap between the minute hand and the hour hand. The hour-hand would remain fixed at the 12-o-clock position and the minute hand would travel around the clock face (thus indicating the depletion of the 'magazine') as the Doctor uses its abilities.
The pocket-watch would not require ‘reloading’ but would only recharge upon entering/ exiting the mirror dimension. This would prevent players from abusing the pocket-watch’s abilities and would also make the watch arduous to replenish.
I thought this could be a fun way to add diegetic traversal powers to the game.

2024.06.09 10:01 AggressiveSelina The Rise of MemeCoins in 2024, EGGONDOG
In 2024, the surge in meme coins has been driven by a combination of nostalgia, the allure of enormous returns, and the power of social media. Nostalgia plays a significant role, as these coins often tap into familiar internet memes and cultural references that resonate particularly well with younger generations. The potential for massive returns, akin to the success seen with Dogecoin, also draws in investors. However, this potential is a double-edged sword: while meme coins can bring substantial gains, they are also highly volatile, making significant losses just as likely.
The Role of Social Media and Innovative Functions
Social media influencers and online forums can ignite viral frenzies, driving up prices based solely on hype. But beyond the hype, some meme coin projects are exploring innovative functionalities. These projects are integrating with decentralized finance (DeFi) for new financial applications, building utility within the metaverse, and even addressing environmental issues. Such innovations provide a layer of functionality and purpose that can help meme coins stand out in the crowded market.
Bitcoin Halving and Market Activity
The timing of the meme coin surge with the Bitcoin halving in 2024 is not coincidental. Historically, Bitcoin halving events have been followed by periods of increased market activity for cryptocurrencies. This broader market upswing creates a fertile ground for meme coins to gain more attention and investment. For a meme coin to achieve long-term success, it needs a unique identity, a clear purpose beyond the meme itself, and a strategic plan for future development. Partnering with a crypto coin development company can be a strategic move to achieve faster crypto profits.
$EGGDOG: The Hidden Gem on Solana
$EGGDOG, the newest memecoin on the Solana chain, is poised to make significant waves in the cryptocurrency market. With its potential to multiply 1000x, this low market cap gem is being touted as the next big thing, set to rival and surpass the infamous $WIF. The best time to buy $EGGDOG is now, as early adopters stand to gain the most from its anticipated rise.
A Month of Potential and Surprises
This month, $EGGDOG is expected to shock the world by surpassing $WIF and other famous memecoins. It’s being described as a hidden gem that investors should not miss. The $EGGDOG community is preparing for a parabolic movement, with predictions that the coin will explode in value at any time.
A Path to Financial Independence
$EGGDOG isn’t just about hype; it’s being positioned as a key to financial independence. For many investors, this memecoin represents a dream come true, offering the potential to fulfill financial aspirations within a year. As the coin gains traction and community support, $EGGDOG could indeed become a pivotal player in the world of meme coins, helping investors achieve their financial goals.
In conclusion, $EGGDOG stands out in the crowded meme coin market due to its unique identity, strong community backing, and strategic use of the Solana network. With the potential for significant gains, it represents a promising investment opportunity in the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies.

2024.06.09 09:51 Wonderful-Effect-168 Why do most people think Articuno sucks?
Almost every time I see a topic online discussing Legendary Pokemon, Articuno is named the worst LP of all generations. I don't think he's the best, but it's an OK Pokemon for me. In Gen1 for example, I think Moltres sucks more then Art, it's a level 50 Pokemon and it's best attack is Fire Spin! Art has Ice beam. Also, I like Articuno's design. So, do you like Articuno? If you think he sucks, why is that?

Hello!LONG POST! Image heavy (and shitty loading times). 5 Pages! Apologies for the length, trying to pre-empt your questions and show fixed scope.

Game Synopsis:
Citing the Original Game:

Some of the old video’s on there show the lo-res flippers, water cannons, pits, pins, rough roads, trains, etc, in working order.
Synopsis of Theme:

Overview of Game ‘Chunks’:
On the roads, there are props, you plough into them for rewards, and special things called ‘chits’. Props are fences, oil drums, wood piles and anything that looks like it needs a good smashing.
Ultimately, Chits are used in a mini game (like Wheel of Fortune), to earn higher grade parts, cash prizes and even a better car than your current season’s level cap.
There’s a parts shop, a car shop, a Tv studio(for the WoF bit) and your assembly garage.
When you complete a season, if you make it into the top 3 racers at the end, you can upgrade to the next season D -> C. That means better and faster cars, higher grade engine parts, more challenging drivers, more tracks and bigger prizes on the Wheel of Fortune spin mini game. And you keep going until you reach Ultra class, where you’re driving monstrous hypercars against the best to win the entire full season.
It is meant to be a difficult game, just like the original. Practice makes Perfect.

What Happened and why am I doing this:
(https://www.reddit.com/roguelikedev/comments/1aeaoo8/2024_in_roguelikedev_monstergirl_resonance_call/ )
Had to stop. Looked at Godot for continuation, seriously impressed, started learning it, WOW. Decided to build a racer for shits and giggles and to learn from it. Ok, fun, easy, cool, and then decided to upgrade it with pretty graphics and decent gameplay. Game testers went nuts, I went nuts. Too much fun.
But, I’m long suffering from a sleep disorder. So re-re-re-learning Godot between medical hiatuses isn’t fun. However I can churn out art and Godot prop code no matter my condition.
I’m still a beginner at Godot, an advanced coder in VB6, I can prototype well. HOWEVER, I’m better at smashing out tracks worth of art, cars portraits, cars sprites, car cutaways and Godot track and props setup.
What I am NOT good at is the higher order setup of minimising repeat code and proper setout of node hierarchies (I haven’t learned it yet). I’m tired of bashing my head against, all the old vector math, engine math, gearing data and power curves. (I graduated that stuff at University too many years ago.)
I’m looking for someone who likes THAT, car-frictiony-enginey-handling-math. Someone who likes building car-part-shop-garage-drag-drop-thingy-interfaces. Someone who enjoys a good thrash and smash car game with a penchant for comedy and silliness. Someone who’ll also help with all the OTHER things needed to put a game on Steam and random marketing functions. Someone who knows how to handle multi-packed scenes and not build shit code.
As needed, I’ll be covering ALL the art, all the interface art, you-name-it, you just make it work. I’ll also be building and drawing all the tracks. Ideas and creation for silliness, wackiness, interesting tracks, cool props, etc, will be a duo effort for building them. If you have art skills too, great, join in.
Do note: I’m aiming at hand-drawing 50 tracks in grand total, their props and variants. This is an astronomical amount of work. I WILL get burnout, and the contingency is to ask the audience for fun and silly ideas too. This way, the track-select-bucket can be filled over time. Even after Steam’s Early Access commences. Seriously, you’ve got to go above and beyond to stand out nowadays.
Have SQLite skills? Good, because we will be using it.

Revshare:
You won't be 'just' coding. Wherever we can both cover each other's backs to smash things out as fast as possible, you'll need to be flexible. Game's are not just coding and artwork.
I expect you to be proactive because I’ll have my hands full with art and technical props.
Let’s do our best to get it over the line.

2024.06.09 09:30 AutumnFanatic 22 [M4F] Illinois/Anywhere/Online - Hi! Nerdy guy who loves autumn looking for a genuine intimate connection
I have a fear of speedbumps, but I'm slowly getting over it..
Hi and welcome to my post! Wanted to start off with a funny to me dad joke.
Nice to meet you, I'm Dylan!
I love autumn way too much and I can't wait for it! It makes me so excited. We had a much cooler day here for once and it felt like October so I was burning a lot of candles.
To put it simple, I am a single 22 year old man who has been pretty lonely in life and lacking human connection. And part of what comes with that is the desire to be intimate with a person. I am very mature for my age and will always be respectful of your boundaries and feelings, especially with anything sexual. Lately all I have is myself when it comes to sexual desires, so I would like to have someone to keep company with in that regard too.
I'm just relaxing on my days off this weekend and burning a woodwick candle. I love candles! 🕯️ Sometimes a campfire outside on a fall night or a crackling WoodWick candle is a relaxing constant among our busy and hectic world. It's nice to just disconnect, feel grounded and happy in your own little cozy space. Feeling calm and collected and at peace. Something that fewer people take the time to do these days.
I am seeking a woman around my age or older to build a close connection with that could possibly lead to a something intimate which includes the possibility of teasing/sharing pics etc. but only when we were comfortable. Figured I would be open in my Intentions as that's the best way to be.
You:
Kind, respectful, and easy going.
Comfortable with the idea of eventually sharing intimate things together.
Willing to eventually move off of Reddit.
Want something genuine and fun!
Are honest in your intentions and a good person to be around!
That's about it, we will get along great I know it.
I've been feeling a little bummed out lately. I always try and stay happy and see the best in things. But.. I've just been so alone. Most of my whole childhood and adult years have been spent feeling lonely. I grew up surrounded by cornfields which was peaceful but also has a lonely aspect to it. My family never really were close and never did anything as a family really. And part of it too is the fact that I never had any neighbors my age to interact with. But aside from that, my adult life has been very lonely. I'm just always by myself. I barely have any meaningful adult relationships or experiences, or even any friends.
I work a 3-11 job in building maintenance at my company world headquarters building which I love, but again it's very lonely. I work the off shift so the building is always empty. I don't get normal social interaction with people my age or a chance to build relationships. I only have 3 older men as co-workers and we are mostly in the basement away from any people on the floors from knowing our existence. I always walk the floors and see office people laughing and chatting with their coworkers and I just don't have that kind of experience. And just.. no one knows I exist really. Everyone probably assumes I have a lot of friends, but I'm struggling inside with being so alone and trying to meet people and get past the "hi how are you?" "I'm good thanks" stage. Most people don't seem to want to talk beyond that. And most women are already in relationships and thus it would seem weird to approach them in an office setting trying to get to know them deeper. But man those "hi how are yous" are the only real interactions I get during my day.. so thus I decided to come here lol. Rant over, sorry! I promise I'm not a downer. 😅
Now for some things about me!
As you can tell, I am very mature for my age and am polite and have good grammar which unfortunately not everyone my age does anymore lol. I am not active at all on social media/internet culture really and don't know much about all the slang the younger people these days use. I feel like I'm 50. 🤣
I am left handed which is pretty cool. I'm not much of a party person or a drinker, I much prefer a quiet night at home and maybe a beer or two on a weekend but that's about it. I am simple and stay out of drama and trouble and don't get much into politics or other things that cause drama with people. I much prefer a relaxing campfire and a night at home and to just let the world keep on turning haha. I consider myself pretty intelligent and mature, especially for my age which is why I'm open to older ladies.
Physically I'm 180 pounds, have brown hair, green eyes, and a typical build.
Some of my hobbies are:
• Photography
I have a Nikon D200 and D5500 that I love to shoot with. I love nature scenes, abstract, black and white/goth kinda photography, sunsets, etc. it's so fun to just let your mind explore. It's not about what camera you have, but those who are behind the camera!
• Cooking and baking
I loveeee to cook and bake! I enjoy making various meals but also love to just have a frozen pizza once in awhile or something like that. I recently made homemade chili which turned out great. I love to bake, especially in the fall! I love pies, cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. I restored a vintage KitchenAid mixer that needed tbe gearbox rebuilt. Eventually I would love to practice home canning my own food.
• Music
Oh my gosh, I like so much!! Alternative rock, punk, post punk, electronic, synth pop, psychedelic rock, hard rock, etc. I am very non judgemental and open when it comes to music. My three current favorite bands are Type O Negative, Joy Division, and the Cure.
• Nature walks and camping
I really enjoy camping, making fires, and relaxing by a campfire. I love to take walks outside and just enjoy the beauty and simplicity of nature. It's wonderful, especially in a world so focused on everything digital.
• Repairing things
I'm a maintenance guy and one of my hobbies is electronics repair so I am good with my hands and just all around good at troubleshooting and fixing all sorts of things around the house. Last week I helped my elderly neighbor get his tractor started, it needed a new component in the starting circuit. So I'm pretty handy which... Comes in handy! 😂
• Autumn 🍁
This isn't a hobby per say, but man do I love the fall!!! It's my absolute favorite time of the year. Oh my gosh. The beautiful colors, crisp cool air, misty and foggy days, rain, lack of bugs, being cuddled up with a candle or by the fire drinking a tea, etc. I love it! There's only two seasons for me. Fall, and waiting for fall! Haha.
• Scented Candles and incense
Going along with my love for fall, I absolutely love candles! I have like 30 something lol. 😂 Currently my favorite are WoodWick, which are owned by Yankee candle. They have such a soothing crackle and the scents are great! I also love to burn incense from time to time as well. I have cottagecore hippie vibes.
• Old houses and architecture
I love old houses! Especially 1900s and Victorian era homes. Old homes have so much character to them and are just so beautiful from a time when people took pride in their craft. I strongly dislike the modern cookie cutter cheap construction of homes today. I would love to live in an old home one day. I also love their architecture and uniqueness, as well as architecture of old cathedrals and other buildings.
• Relaxing
Basic I know, but sometimes on the weekend I just love to get cozy in bed and relax and put on a YouTube video or an album! 😊
That's about it for me, I'm a pretty laid back and simple person. My ideal person is someone who is respectful and honest! I am very straightforward and open minded and would hope that you are as well.
If I seem interesting to you at all I would love to hear from you!
Thank you so much for reading.

Going along with my love for fall, I absolutely love candles! I have like 30 something lol. 😂 Currently my favorite are WoodWick, which are owned by Yankee candle. They have such a soothing crackle and the scents are great! I also love to burn incense from time to time as well. I have cottagecore hippie vibes.
• Old houses and architecture
I love old houses! Especially 1900s and Victorian era homes. Old homes have so much character to them and are just so beautiful from a time when people took pride in their craft. I strongly dislike the modern cookie cutter cheap construction of homes today. I would love to live in an old home one day. I also love their architecture and uniqueness, as well as architecture of old cathedrals and other buildings.
• Relaxing
Basic I know, but sometimes on the weekend I just love to get cozy in bed and relax and put on a YouTube video or an album! 😊
That's about it for me, I'm a pretty laid back and simple person. My ideal person is someone who is respectful and honest! I am very straightforward and open minded and would hope that you are as well.
If I seem interesting to you at all I would love to hear from you!
Thank you so much for reading.
2024.06.09 09:30 zarnt More than 200 Palestinians killed in Israeli hostage raid in Gaza
 | Quotes from the article (sent via gift link so it’s free to all): submitted by zarnt to mopolitics [link] [comments] The Israel Defense Forces said it retrieved Almog Meir Jan, 21; Andrey Kozlov, 27; Shlomi Ziv, 40; and Noa Argamani, who turned 26 in captivity, from two separate locations in Nuseirat, a refugee camp in central Gaza. All four were “in good medical condition” and transferred to hospitals for examination, the IDF said…I don’t know how to come to any other conclusion than that the official, bipartisan position of the United States is that Palestinian lives have very little value when compared to Israelis. If anything else were true we wouldn’t “welcome” an operation this deadly. We wouldn’t be sending another dime or bullet without a ceasefire. Leaders from both parties wouldn’t have given Netanyahu a platform in Congress to justify this war. I believe Palestinian lives have immense value, just like Israel lives, and every other human on this planet. Why can’t I find anybody with real power in this country who will say something like that? When did that become a radical notion? |

2024.06.09 09:08 AutumnFanatic [22/M4F] #Online - Hi! Nerdy guy who loves autumn looking for a fellow autumn loving person to form a genuine and fun intimate connection with! 🍂☺️
I have a fear of speedbumps, but I'm slowly getting over it..
Hi and welcome to my post! Wanted to start off with a funny to me dad joke.
Nice to meet you, I'm Dylan! I'm a 22 year old who has lived in Illinois my whole life. As you can totally tell, I absolutely love autumn and everything about it!! I was born in October. It's my favorite month, and there's just something so magical about the fall colors, the cool crisp air, and those dreary and rainy and foggy days and nights. I love it so much and absolutely despise summer and humidity. 😂🍂🍁
I'm just relaxing on my days off this weekend and burning a few candles tonight as we've gotten an usually cool night which totally reminds me of autumn! I love candles! 🕯️ Sometimes a campfire outside on a fall night or a crackling WoodWick candle is a relaxing constant among our busy and hectic world. It's nice to just disconnect, feel grounded and happy in your own little cozy space. Feeling calm and collected and at peace. Something that fewer people take the time to do these days.
I am seeking a female interested in building a close connection with me that could possibly lead to something intimate and sexual but only when we were comfortable.
You:
Kind, respectful, and easy going.
Comfortable with the idea of eventually sharing intimate things together.
Willing to eventually move off of Reddit.
Want something genuine and fun!
Are honest in your intentions and a good person to be around!
That's about it, we will get along great I know it.
I've been feeling a little bummed out lately. I always try and stay happy and see the best in things. But.. I've just been so alone. Most of my whole childhood and adult years have been spent feeling lonely. I grew up surrounded by cornfields which was peaceful but also has a lonely aspect to it. My family never really were close and never did anything as a family really. And part of it too is the fact that I never had any neighbors my age to interact with. But aside from that, my adult life has been very lonely. I'm just always by myself. I barely have any meaningful adult relationships or experiences, or even any friends.
I work a 3-11 job in building maintenance at my company world headquarters building which I love, but again it's very lonely. I work the off shift so the building is always empty. I don't get normal social interaction with people my age or a chance to build relationships. I only have 3 older men as co-workers and we are mostly in the basement away from any people on the floors from knowing our existence. I always walk the floors and see office people laughing and chatting with their coworkers and I just don't have that kind of experience. And just.. no one knows I exist really. Everyone probably assumes I have a lot of friends, but I'm struggling inside with being so alone and trying to meet people and get past the "hi how are you?" "I'm good thanks" stage. Most people don't seem to want to talk beyond that. And most women are already in relationships and thus it would seem weird to approach them in an office setting trying to get to know them deeper. But man those "hi how are yous" are the only real interactions I get during my day.. so thus I decided to come here lol. Rant over, sorry! I promise I'm not a downer. 😅
Now for some things about me!
As you can tell, I am very mature for my age and am polite and have good grammar which unfortunately not everyone my age does anymore lol. I am not active at all on social media/internet culture really and don't know much about all the slang the younger people these days use. I feel like I'm 50. 🤣
I am left handed which is pretty cool. I'm not much of a party person or a drinker, I much prefer a quiet night at home and maybe a beer or two on a weekend but that's about it. I am simple and stay out of drama and trouble and don't get much into politics or other things that cause drama with people. I much prefer a relaxing campfire and a night at home and to just let the world keep on turning haha. I consider myself pretty intelligent and mature.
Sexually, I am very open minded and non judgemental. Even if you're having your period I don't mind messing around because I am totally comfortable with that. Some guys get really freaked a out about that and blood etc. and I don't get it because it's a natural part of being a woman and something that should be respected and understood and not something to be grossed out by. I know some women tend to get more horny on their period and thats when most guys don't want anything to do with them, but I'm different!
Physically I'm 180 pounds, have brown hair, green eyes, and a typical build.
Some of my hobbies are:
• Photography
I have a Nikon D200 and D5500 that I love to shoot with. I love nature scenes, abstract, black and white/goth kinda photography, sunsets, etc. it's so fun to just let your mind explore. It's not about what camera you have, but those who are behind the camera!
• Cooking and baking
I loveeee to cook and bake! I enjoy making various meals but also love to just have a frozen pizza once in awhile or something like that. I recently made homemade chili which turned out great. I love to bake, especially in the fall! I love pies, cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. I restored a vintage KitchenAid mixer that needed tbe gearbox rebuilt. Eventually I would love to practice home canning my own food.
• Music
Oh my gosh, I like so much!! Alternative rock, punk, post punk, electronic, synth pop, psychedelic rock, hard rock, etc. I am very non judgemental and open when it comes to music. My three current favorite bands are Type O Negative, Joy Division, and the Cure.
• Nature walks and camping
I really enjoy camping, making fires, and relaxing by a campfire. I love to take walks outside and just enjoy the beauty and simplicity of nature. It's wonderful, especially in a world so focused on everything digital.
• Repairing things
I'm a maintenance guy and one of my hobbies is electronics repair so I am good with my hands and just all around good at troubleshooting and fixing all sorts of things around the house. Last week I helped my elderly neighbor get his tractor started, it needed a new component in the starting circuit. So I'm pretty handy which... Comes in handy! 😂
• Autumn 🍁
This isn't a hobby per say, but man do I love the fall!!! It's my absolute favorite time of the year. Oh my gosh. The beautiful colors, crisp cool air, misty and foggy days, rain, lack of bugs, being cuddled up with a candle or by the fire drinking a tea, etc. I love it! There's only two seasons for me. Fall, and waiting for fall! Haha.

2024.06.09 09:00 coinfeeds-bot Today's Top #2: Charles Hoskinson believes Cardano is undervalued
tldr; Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has voiced his frustration over the lack of positive recognition for Cardano in the media, stating that the project is undervalued despite its strong fundamentals. He highlighted Cardano's leadership in blockchain research and development, the growth of community dApps, and upcoming project developments as reasons for his optimism. Hoskinson also mentioned the Chang Hard Fork, a significant upgrade aimed at enhancing governance and community involvement, and partnerships with notable entities. Despite criticism and being labeled as a "zombie token" by Forbes, Hoskinson remains bullish on Cardano's future and its role in addressing real-world issues.

Golems are men and women who are raised from the dead to defend the righteous. Some believe they were created by Solomon, other think they come from before, but all believe them to be myth now.
They have the power of Ma’Anär, an electromagnetic force they can generate from their bodies from the Anäric Dimension. This energy can be called into their body at any time, traveling throughout the body via the nervous system, though many Golems keep some energy in there at all times.
Utilization of this energy is broken into three types, each more sophisticated than the later.
Er is the utilization of this energy within the body. My gripping one’s mind onto this energy after summoning it, it can be transferred to deferent parts of the body to enhance physical attributes. One can move energy into the mind to enhance reaction speed and thinking capacity, musculature to give greater strength, skin to enhance hardness, and can even be used to replace energy from oxygen and food. Golems must be careful however. If they have not spent their time training their body to handle the amounts of energy they use, they begin to rip on an atomic level.
The pinnacle of this technique is Polaris, where and overflow of energy is focused throughout the entire body or in specific parts, causing and rearranging of electrons and quantum particles while still maintaining form, granted complete spatial awareness and repetitive speed, but this will quickly siphon energy reserves.
Ein is the next technique a golem can learn. Once they have mastered Er, and can freely transport energy throughout their body, they can start to actually discharge and absorb energy as well. By coming in physical contact with something, they can release energy focused into their hands or another body part. They can playmate the air around their fist, can heat objects instantly, can use magnetic forces to blast away objects or cause attraction towards themselves, and can even completely break down objects. Depending on their knowledge of electromagnetic energy and physics, they can do almost whatever they have an equation for so long as they are able to touch something and release enough energy for the interaction. The dangers of Ein lie in the fact that they can expend too much energy or create reactions their body cannons handle in close proximity, causing a rebound of the reaction into their own body.
The pinnacle of this technique is Ignis Optica, where energy is focused into the eyes, and blasted out to a desired target. This can only be raw radiation, magnetizing and igniting the air in the path of their eyes to their target.
Eifir this is the use of magical tools called Calcoms. Calcoms can range from stones with a pre-calculated chemical makeup that create a fire ball that can be shot like a missile, staffs that can turn the energy into a desired electromagnetic effect, or even the magical metal kinothine which can be loaded with energy and telekinetically controlled until the energy is expended. Dangers include accidentally destroying the calcom or errors in the construction, causing disastrous results. Calcoms basically streamline applications of Ein, and allow it to be controlled through space, rather than relying on tactile contact
Ef’him is the most advanced practice. Be creating a sort of feedback loop, most simply and often by clasping the hands together and releasing energy into each other, this radiation can be aimed into the surrounding space, allowing for things like telekinesis and other distance based applications. These dangers include both the danger of Er and Ein and can have disastrous results
Let me know what you guys think!!

2024.06.09 08:43 kmrbuky One month of beading! (+ some newbie thoughts and questions)
 | https://preview.redd.it/w2uh2paxmh5d1.jpg?width=1178&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ea2ab09ded2350fb34eb01cdf018513fb306669 submitted by kmrbuky to Beading [link] [comments] It's been exactly 35 days since I've started beading! I was visiting my best friend in Japan when we came across some beading patterns. Neither of us have beaded before, but we thought it could be a fun challenge! Cue several all-nighters and utter frustration as we slogged through the first piece (the pink keychain on the very right). It's hard to see from the picture, but I had 0 tension on the string (because I didn't know what it was!) so the edges are a mess. That's why I decided to try again with blue, which is the fourth project! The tension was much more even. The pink strap took about 5 days (with a few international flights in-between), the second (dragon) took about 7 days, the third took about 11 days (took a small break), the fourth took about 4 days, the fifth (same as the first project, but with colours I chose) took about 2 days, and the very last one took about 2 days as well (and is my very own pattern!) I've gotten way faster with the last two projects. All in all, I'm amazed I'm not burnt out yet. Beading feels really good on my soul so I'm so excited to have found this hobby. I'm not huge on wearing beaded jewelry (...mostly because I don't really wear jewelry in the first place) so I'll probably just stick to these portrait-style charms for myself and friends/family. Some things I've noticed:
-Posture: I've been focusing on improving my posture this year, but I seem to have a hunchback when I bead. Is this just the reality for beaders? -Wrists: I feel like I'm getting carpal tunnel from beading (although, I did let it rest for 1-2 days and now my wrist is much better). Does this happen to anyone else? -Needles: this is less of a problem after using FireLine, but I've bent four needles and broken one (mostly when I was struggling with tension with my old thread). Does anyone have needle recommendations? I purchased a set from PONY Needles, but they were too thin and the eye(?) was too small for FireLine. -What is your favourite Miyuki 11/0 colour? Just curious personally! My favourite colour is pink, but I've really enjoyed exploring blue lately. As you can see, I've been very partial to the 257 at the moment :) I also really enjoy 202 for a fun white as it's very sparkly under the light. |
2024.06.09 08:42 smalluniverse26 Idk how to feel but I could use some opinions from outside looking in….
I got a pretty horrible email from my mother a few days ago. It always makes me question whether I really am overreacting to how shes treated me in the past because of how much she invalidates me. She physically and emotionally abused me for all of my life until I went no contact with her over a year ago. I was also very parentified. These types of emails make me question the reality of my memories and I could really use some opinions from outside looking in. I know the email is tl;dr. I could use some reassure that I made the right decision.😔 I really struggle with this entire situation. I have copy and pasted the email and changed some names and such to keep privacy. *For some context in this email I’m currently paying my way through college to hopefully end up in medical school one day.
“Saw this pic and thought of you, this is totally something you would have done with (your sister). [for context it was just a random picture of a young girl with her sister]
Oh I know you'll never see this message, but even sending it to a black hole somewhat feels better than not, I don't know why.
I've joined several grief groups, this seems to be a trend with all of you going no contact. Today (your cousin) sent the eternal fuck you to my brother, I bet she's proud of herself like you are. Master conquerors, you guys are of the same skin. I guess it's how you prove to the world that you are independent and in charge. Your generation is full of selfish entitled brats who believe you were treated poorly, what a slap in the face to those who truly were abused. Grow up and act like the adult you are pretending to be.
As all are learning to accept our children are dead, all of you go on about life happy you've set "boundaries' regardless of how much deep pain that causes to the family left behind.
In thinking about it you were a giant pain in the ass to raise. You went through some really unattractive phases, too. You were messy and I hated your pierced (nsfw). You always lied about the pierced belly button but I saw it. I also saw those nasty s*x messages from your ex bf but I never told you. Many of your friends were awful too, and I hated how rudely you acted with never saying where you were. I never micromanaged you but yet it's me who got the fuck you in the end.
I act like you when I remember those things because then I can hate you like you do me. Only I don't make things up to hate you like you do about me.
I used to wish you would be a Dr., but now I hope you reconsider. You're much too cold in your heart to make it in the profession. Anyone who can screw their own Mother will be a shitty Dr.
I didn't raise you to be the person you are. But it's on you now to be whoever you want.
You can walk away from me but until the end of time I will be your Mother. It's my face you will see in the mirror looking back at you. You can throw me away in your words and actions but you can never rid your soul of me.
We are putting all of your things in storage, I can't stand looking at anything that reminds me of you. In our lives you have died and we must move on. We also will no longer say that we have 2 children, this will be a win for you.
A broken heart is all I have from you, how I wish I could have known how you would betray me in the end. I used to wish to see your face but now all I pray is to be able to forget you.
To think I ever believed any of your lies, how you carried on about family and picking a guy who would someday carry your Dad. Lmao. I guess we all know how the question is answered...so the house is on fire, and you can only pick one of us...the whole time the joke was that you were just always telling lies, you never meant any of it.
Always, Mom”

If so, you're going to love our collection of flameless taper candles. In this article, we'll explore the fantastic world of these innovative candles designed to provide the same warm, glow as traditional tapers, with the added benefit of being completely worry-free. Get ready to discover the perfect balance of functionality and ambiance with our top picks for flameless taper candles. So sit back, relax, and let's dive in! The Top 6 Best Flameless Taper Candles
Reviews🔗Battery Operated Taper LED Flameless Candle with Timerhttps://preview.redd.it/vmukk6khlh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9057e4c60fd396a704666ceaeafbed2b503e3182 Using Celestial Lights' Ivory Battery Operated Taper Flameless Flickering Candle has been an absolute delight. The adjustable height feature really allows me to play with its placement in my window, and the timer is a game-changer. It's fantastic how I can have it turn on and off at my desired time, no hassle. One thing that really stands out is its bright LED light. It gives off a warm glow inside my home while showcasing a brilliant shine outside, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of my window. The two-tone LED light inside the clear bulb is a clever design feature, adding flexibility to the brightness level. The only downside, though, is that the bulbs can be a bit delicate, but that's a small price to pay for such a brilliant product. In terms of craftsmanship, these candles truly look like the real thing. They sport a dripped wax look and come with a black onyx finish base, amplifying the overall quality. Plus, the option for a black base candle was quite hard to find and Celestial Lights had exactly what I needed. As for battery life go, though it uses 4 AA batteries per candle, it's not a significant issue considering it lasts up to 30 days. I've had no issues with them thus far. However, it's worth mentioning that some users reported inconsistencies in the timer's functionality, which can be a bit frustrating. But it seems to be a minor problem as the majority of the reviewers praised the timer feature. Overall, these Celestial Lights' Ivory Battery Operated Taper Flameless Flickering Candles have been a wonderful addition to my home décor. Despite some minor issues with the timer, they have more than made up for it with their adjustable height feature, timeless design, and brilliant LED light. It's a product that's definitely worth considering. 🔗Battery Operated LED Flameless Candles with Timerhttps://preview.redd.it/z1ma94zhlh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffd613cb9f166639403466b19886c2f213a9c763 Once upon a time, I decided to enhance my home's aesthetic appeal during the festive season. I came across these Wondise Remote Flameless Window Taper Candles with Timer and Suction Cups, and I must say, they were quite a revelation. The candles are made of realistic wax and feature a gold holder, giving them an elegant and classic look. The best part about these candles is their convenience - they are battery-operated, which means they are smoke and flame-free. This made me feel much safer, especially with little ones running around. Also, they come with a remote control, allowing me to turn them on or off with just a click, even when I'm all snuggled up in bed. Plus, the automatic timer function is a game-changer, turning them on at 4 pm every day - perfect for when the sun starts setting early during winters! However, one downside was that you need to purchase the batteries separately. It would've been great if they came included in the package. All in all, these candles have added a touch of magic to my home this Christmas, and I can't recommend them enough! 🔗8-Pack of 9-inch LED Taper Candles, Dipped in Real Wax, Beigehttps://preview.redd.it/zd7ar69ilh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=176e1300cc868fedfdbdc9bc66265ffdb923a8d1 I recently discovered Ashland's 9-inch flameless taper candles and let me tell you, they've become a game-changer in my home. These babies look and feel like real candles, with their patented, realistic wick that flickers just like the real thing. And the best part? They're flameless! No more constantly worrying about extinguishing candles or potential fire hazards. I'm also a big fan of their automatic 5-hour timer. Each morning, I plug them in, set the timer, and voila! I come home to a warm, welcoming ambiance that sets the mood for a relaxing evening. I wish more products had this kind of convenience built into them! However, one thing worth mentioning is their size. I found that these tapers can be a bit too big for some standard candle holders, causing them to struggle to fit securely. But if you've got the right holder, these candles are a surefire hit. Overall, if you're looking for a safe and stylish alternative to traditional candles, Ashland's flameless tapers are definitely worth your consideration. They're elegant, they're effective, and best of all, they're flicker-tastic! 🔗Flameless Flickering Taper Candle Set with Realistic 3D Wick and Remote Timerhttps://preview.redd.it/2emurhtulh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1781734e7d084a5588c81f3d55e8277e2ce3424 Living with a pet and two kids, I've always had to worry about the safety of traditional candles in our home. But ever since I discovered the Eldnacele Flameless Taper Candles, I can finally relax without any fear or mess. These realistic-looking candles come in a cream color and are battery-operated, emitting a warm, flickering light that creates a cozy atmosphere. The 3D wick design is impressive, convincingly replicating a real wax candle. The best part is the remote control feature, allowing us to set timers for each candle and truly enjoy their relaxing ambiance without concern. With two remotes included, I can even control candles in different rooms with ease. These flameless candles are perfect for all occasions and rooms in our house, including the bedroom, bathroom, and living room. However, one downside is that the candles require AA batteries, which we need to manually replace when they run out. Overall, I highly recommend the Eldnacele Flameless Taper Candles for anyone seeking a safe and stylish alternative to traditional candles. 🔗Flameless LED Taper Candle Set with Timer by Ashlandhttps://preview.redd.it/fntzi47vlh5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd767dcff3089be3fbd9380d149db8463eeaa2f0 Imagine setting up a warm, inviting atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a cozy evening with family, but you're concerned about potential fire hazards or disturbing wax drips. That's where Ashland's White LED Taper Candles with Timer shine. These tapers effortlessly blend into your candle holders, casting a soft, warm glow without the mess or danger of real candles. One reviewer shared an anecdote about using these candles for their wedding, where real candles were prohibited. These flameless tapers worked perfectly, providing a realistic flickering effect and enhancing the overall ambiance. Another reviewer praised the candles for their safety, particularly with cats and small children around. Despite their many positive qualities, some users have voiced their concerns about the size of the base, which can be too large to fit in standard candle holders.

2024.06.09 08:02 Joshh170 Creative Minecraft Player Brings a Chunk of the Nether Into The Overworld
 | A Minecraft player set out to recreate a part of the Nether in the Overworld, achieving an impressive result. Minecraft is a game famous for allowing players to bring their most imaginative ideas to life, but for those players who also like to explore the game's blocky world, there are some rather dangerous places to visit. submitted by Joshh170 to GameGeeks [link] [comments] Among these high-risk places is the Nether, the dimension that functions as Minecraft's underworld. When Minecraft players make obsidian to craft the Nether portal, they access a dimension characterized by not having a day and night cycle, and by having unique biomes. Some of these are the Basalt Deltas, one of the most dangerous biomes in the game, and the Soul Sand Valley, the Nether "desert." Visiting the Nether requires preparation from Minecraft players, but one creative adventurer decided to flip things on their head with a recreation of the dimension in the overworld. Reddit user Consistent-Hand-3404 reproduced a chunk of the Nether in Minecraft's Overworld. Without the help of any mods and using only a structure block, they created a chunk with several huge fungi, a type of "tree" generated in two biomes of the Nether, the Crimson Forests and Warped Forests. The player's recreation includes a section of Glowstone, the block generated in the Nether known for emitting light, and part of the Nether Fortress, a large structure that hides dangers such as wither skeletons and blazes. Next to the chunk, they've placed a portal used by Minecraft players to visit the Nether, and included the lower layers of the dimension, with dangerous rivers of lava. What Can Minecraft Players do in the Nether? Although it is a remarkably dangerous dimension, Minecraft places items in the Nether that are must-have for players who have traveled there. Ancient Debris is found in the Nether's lowest points and is smelted to create Netherite Ingots, valuable items that make diamond armor even more powerful. If a Minecraft player is thinking of reaching The End, they will need Blaze Rods, which are used to craft Blazing Powder, an essential item for making the Eye of Enders and activating the End Portal. Nether Warts are small fungi that have few uses, the main one being brewing. The Nether is one of the most popular aspects of Minecraft gameplay, and it got big love in 2020. Called "The Nether Update," the patch gave the Nether a major overhaul by adding new blocks such as soul fire, basalt, and ancient debris. Netherite armor, a material tougher than diamond, was introduced in the Nether Update, along with Netherite tools. Minecraft has also added new hazards in the form of hostile mobs such as Piglin, Strider, and Hoglin, insuring the Nether remains relevant years after its debut. |
2024.06.09 07:52 Confident-Wasabi-804 I feel so alone
I feel so alone
Throwaway. Not sure if this is the sub for this but here I go. I am a young man on his way to college who is at the start of his summer break. While everything should be looking up, it isn’t. I feel so freaking alone. I don’t hang out with my friends very often and when I see or hear about a hangout that I wasn’t invited to, I get a huge way of loneliness and sadness come over me. I spend my days bored and wishing I was with my friends who are probably hanging out with each other. My happiness depends on my friends and relationships with them, that’s what I’ve come to realize. With this, I don’t hang out with my friends very often which means, I generally don’t feel very happy and feel really bored. I haven’t expressed this to anyone but it’s what I live with every single day. I don’t feel like expressing it to anyone because I feel like they’d say “Just go hang out with your friends then.” I’ve tried that but whenever I ask, they are always busy which lead me to just giving up asking. No one even asks me to hang out, they all just go on without me, makes me feel like I have no real friends at all or if anyone actually likes me.
I don’t even know how I’d hang out with them, I can’t think of anything to do in my area that would be fun. I just feel like I drifting by and the days are passing by. I see so many posts about getting off social media and going outside. I can get rid of the stimulation but I still can’t get rid of the loneliness and boredom, it’s still there.
Since it’s still early summer, I want to try and hang out with my friends more, I will try. I hope this will all go away when I get to college.
On a side note, I feel like getting a girlfriend would help. Someone to talk to and hang out with one on one. I know how to talk to and be with girls, I just don’t know where to find one in this day and age.
I don’t know if this makes me sound entitled, whiny or like my problems don’t mean anything, this is just how I feel and what I live with every day. I want to go back to that ideal world where everyone was just riding on their bikes, screwing off with friends with no social media or technology. I wish I wasn’t born in a generation with an epidemic of crippling lonliness and boredom because I feel like I’ve been sickened by it and I hate it. I hate my life. If you wanna tear me to shreds in the comments go ahead but if you have any advice, I’m desperate to hear it.
