2024.05.20 02:07 267philly420 42 [M4F] #Philly/South Jersey - Looking for someone who wants to see Sigur Ros in Iceland this December

So I've always wanted to see Iceland and Sigur Ros is one of my fav bands, so I decided to buy 2 tickets for their upcoming show in December. Well now I got the tickets, the only thing thats missing is you. Preferably I'd like to find someone and see if we click and then maybe we end up going to Iceland together. If this interests you, hit me up.
About me:
I'm a 42 years old, living with my dog in Philadelphia. I would like to meet some new people for chatting, friendship or maybe more depending on how things go.
When I am not going on adventures with my pup, I like going to concerts, from Childish Gambino to Sigur Ros (seeing them in December in Iceland!!). I love going to art museums and just walking around and appreciating everything or science museums and seeing some dinosaur bones or other cool stuff. I enjoy going out to eat and trying new restaurants. I am also a fan of traveling, was in France over the summer and now my total count is 11 countries and would love to check out some more. I enjoy watching movies and TV, playing video games(switch and series X), and some reading. I am also 420 friendly if that is something you are into.
I am a great +1 at weddings since I'm an amazing wedding dancer. With my patented moves such as the sprinkler or the bus driver. I am sure to impress or embarrass.
I am really good at bad jokes, or bad at good jokes? I know that they are bad, but I enjoy them anyway. Feel free to laugh or roll your eyes, or both. Your call.
Example: There are 2 fish in a tank, one looks at the other and says "how'd we get here?" the other one replies, "that's a great question, though a better one is who's driving this thing?"
Honestly I am just looking for someone to help me ride in the carpool lane or if that doesn't work, to spend time with, have stupid inside jokes, goof around on dreary days, keep me entertained at boring social events and all that fun stuff. Maybe you want those things too if so, feel free to hit me up if you wanna chat, can start there and see where it goes. And thanks for reading all of this.

2024.05.20 02:06 LesserCaterpillar I have a skill issue the size of a mountain (help)

I know it's just a videogame, but man do I feel useless right now, I was always excited to try this game, it seemed like a dream come true coming from Bloodborne and Sekiro since those two are my favorite games, they aren't easy but I had a good time and there wasn't a moment where I felt like completely stopping playing at all.
I'm stuck at the King of Puppets, but that's not the only issue, is the fact that while I enjoyed and loved the game up until where I'm now, I struggled as if I've never touched a controller before, I keep seeing post in here because I like the discussions about it and always see how most consider this game to be quite easy or easier than the aforementioned, it makes me feel crazy or that I'm playing it wrong.
I don't know if this has happened to anyone, I'm honestly going to take a break and center on my next exams in the meanwhile but if someone has tips for when I pick it up again they're the most welcome. Sorry for the semi-rant post lol.

2024.05.20 02:06 lyla88 Did I let him go too soon?

sorry for the super long post and posting again, i've been such a mess and posting here has been the only thing that really helped in any way.
Mog was 11, 12 in august. He had been diagnosed with CKD two years ago when he went in for a teeth clean.
we immediatly switched him to special food kept an eye on his weight took him in for regular checks and he was doing great, he went to the vets in january and everything was good, he'd even put on a little weight. everything was normal, until it wasnt.
it was a wednesday, i noticed he was really drinking excesivly and only picking at his food. he was also getting into some strange places he'd never been interested in before, ontop of a tall cabinet, hidden on a shelf under the tv. i had started carying him to his meals as he wasn't interested in going upstairs.
that night he spent the entire evening tucked inside my dressing gown with me, untill i went to bed and i wrapped him up in my dressing gown and put him to bed on the couch.
the next morning, (thursday) he was no where to be found, MIL said he'd spent most of the very early morning curled up in one of his beds and he had gone out a little eairler, so i went out and shook his treats (usualy a foolproof way to get mog) but he didnt come running, so i kept shaking and after a few mins he came running but when he got to me he had no interest in the treats (big red flag). he gave me some headbuts and went off again, i was concerned so i went to see where he was going and he had found and lovely sunny spot in the neighbours garden and was resting happily, about an hour later (1pmish) he came home and he went stright to the shelf under the tv and curled up, not somewhere he had ever curled up before. i brought him some food and he ate but only when i gave it to him by hand and he had a big drink but he stayed where he was.
i spent that day laying on the floor next to him, stroking him, talking to him, offering him food and water every 4 hours but he stayed curled up, MIL kept an eye on him overnight (shes up long before the crack of dawn)
Friday morning he was acting a little more himself, more mobile but still trying to stay in high up places, he had some wet food and a few treats and was seeming pretty good when i had to leave for counciling.
when i came back my parther told me mog had been trying to get in some odd places, knocking books off the book shelf, not quite making jumps, as soon as my partner handed mog to me he clung to me so tight, he wrapped his little body over my shoulder and held on tight, he seemed scared and confused, i put on my dressing gown and he snuggled contently into it and thats where he stayed, he wasn't interested in food or water, in fact he barley moved, occasionaly stretching out a leg but that was all. he was inclined to have a little creamy white sauce that night from my plate.
deep down i think i knew his time was coming, but in the moment i truly had not accepted just how unwell he was getting, i just wanted him to have anything and everything he ever wanted but suddenly he didn't really want it. he slept through the rest of the night.
first thing saturday morning he wanted to be held by me, so thats what we did, i gave him some water and he had one or two bits of kibble before he was right back in my dressing gown where i could comfort and love him. however he wasnt comfortably snuggling with me, it felt like he was trying to hide, he had his head stuffed under my arm and was as flat agaist me as he could get, he was ignoring me talking to him and had to fully uncover his head to get his attention.
after a few hours and a couple of attempts with food and water without sucess i noticed he had urinated where he was but he didn't make any kind of reaction, he didnt even move, i'm unsure he even noticed. when i placed him down to change and clean him up he looked like he had woken up on another planet, barley moved just stared at his surroundings, i cleaned him up and he mustered up enough energy to try and get away from that.
as he was more awake now i gave him some water and he had a little and he also had a small amount of chicken, he was cleaning himself after when he seemed to panic, he bolted towards the kitchen window and forced his way out. i went stright outside with him where he took a few steps then started swaying, he let out this terrified cry and i caught him before he fell. the confusion in his eyes broke my heart, he didn't understand why his little body wasn't doing what it should.
i took him back inside and tried to settle him but he was adimant he wanted to be outside so i went out with him and he started licking the concrete (vet said its something to do with trying to get minerals into his system) then he slowly walked over to the bins licked the floor once more before attempting to jump up onto the bins, he didnt make it and i caught him again. this time he forced his head under my arm and tried to burrow in as deep as he could. i could feel his fear, my poor little baby was so terrified and confused and there was nothing i could do.
this was roughtly midday and for the next 3 hours thats where he satyed he only moved once to give my arm a little lick, i walked around with him, gently swaying and talking to him, crying alot because i knew something bad was happening to my baby and there was nothing i could do to help. when my partner came home i explained through tears what had happened and he called the vet for advice. they told us to bring him in a little over an hour later. i was terrified, i felt that if we went to the vet mog wouldn't be coming home but Mog still hadnt moved, i had to get their advice. i carried him to the vets in my dressing gown and he didnt react, not once, not even in the car or when we got to the vets.
he woke up in the office when i had to put him on the table. the vets reaction told me all i needed to know and i broke down again. the vet said they could hospitalise him and put him on fluids but that would likley only give him another 48 hours and i didnt want him spending his last hours alone in a cage, i couldnt do that to my baby.
he had lost 25% of his body weight in 3 months and the vet said he was ready so she wrapped him in his blanket and took him to insert a canular, he put up no resistance.
when she brought him back to me and placed him on the table i got down to his level and told him how much i loved him, he looked at me and let out a little purr before giving me a silent meow, i scratched his chin in his favorite spot and gave him so many little kisses before picking him up for the last time.
i was able to hold him untill his last breath, he was gone immediatly there was no fight left in his little body.
i can't help thinking i should've never gone to the vet that day and just held him untill he was ready to cross but i don't know if thats just because i miss him so terribly.
he was seemingly fine 4 days before, it all went downhill so fast then he was gone. i knew this day would come but i never expected it to be such a sudden decline and i have no idea if i did right by him and it haunts me.
i dont expect anyone to say anything, i just needed to put what happened out there. thanks for reading.

2024.05.20 02:06 bludraws094 help: my pc suddenly started running slower after a power outage

exactly what it says in the title; my pc has never been particularly fast, but it was at least passable, until a transformer decided to explode for no reason while i was writing something. this happened a bit ago, im only now posting here due to the fact that i am currently trying to install a game that shouldnt be that labor intensive and probably would have taken maybe thirty minutes before, and yet has been installing for about an hour, and still isnt done the only thing ive done to try and fix this is mess with the little antennas on the back (dont know what theyre called, only that theyre used for wifi), bcus im way too afraid to actually open up my pc and mess with it info that might be useful: - it is an ibuypower pc - its at least a few years old, probably more than five, as it was a handmedown from my uncle - it has 105 gb of used storage, and 117 gb free - the windows specifications say "Windows 10 Home" and version "22H2" - the processor is "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60 GHz" (it says the ghz part twice at the end, i only typed it once) - its 64 bit i dont know where to find any other system info, despite my best efforts (those efforts being googling how to find this stuff, trying what two different sites said, and then getting so much information that i couldnt tell whats relevant and what isnt) once i finish installing this game, i am going to fully shut off my pc for a few minutes, as that has fixed problems in the past (such as it randomly losing power, or it not being able to find any wifi network), so i will update you all on if that works thanks in advance :3

2024.05.20 02:04 KaleidoArachnid Sometimes I have a hard time believing it’s over for good

Because every time I try to see what the future is for the SpoonyOne show itself, I always end up with no news, and yes I know that I must accept the show is over for good, but it’s still hard to accept how things have changed.
Yes I understand what caused the so called experiment to end in the first place, but every time I look back at the show’s glory days, I just cannot believe how distant it all feels as I can recall like it was yesterday when people still loved Spoony himself.
I guess what I am trying to say is that even today, it still feels sad that the whole show is basically cancelled permanently as I will never forget when Spoony could make people laugh at his reviews, such as his review of the game Sewer Shark as that game was so questionable in its overall presentation that it was very cathartic when he tore apart said game.
And finally, while I know the show won’t ever come back, I am ok with looking for successors to the series as I do enjoy online shows with witty humor that can do detailed discussions on either good or bad games as those kind of shows don’t have to only focused on discussing bad games in general.

2024.05.20 02:03 mozaaz37 Debunk this: Apocalypse starts between 2025 and 2027 and Jesus returns between 2030 and 2034

Hi guys, i'm a brazilian 17 year old guy that was happy, sympathetic and caring towards others, I am catholic and I participate in Sunday school every Saturday, but since the start of the pandemic in march 2020 onwards, i suddenly became brainwashed and paranoic with Christian conspiracy theories, mainly Qanon, and end times prophecies but in 2022 it only got worse, it all started at school when my sociology teacher who coincidentally was an evangelical pastor started talking a little about the end of times/Ragnarok and my friend said that between 2023, 2024 the apocalypse will begin, or it doesn't happen anything in these years, very probably in 2025 and 2027, and i searched on youtube and i saw various evangelical channels claiming that we are at the end of times and 2030 the world will end bc in that year Jesus will come back to only save evangelical christians and will only save those who are on the Life Book and will throw everyone who's those name wasn't on Life Book burn alive on the lake of fire of the hell alongside the antichrist, false prophet and everyone who followed him and God will destroy the universe and we will be living in the New Jerusalem, and they say repent of sins because the devil exists and they insist on saying that sin and the devil exist even though this has not even been scientifically proven, such as not wearing short clothes like shorts, jeans, not getting tattoos or piercings, not eating meat of pork, prohibiting homosexuality, free will, dating during adolescence and many others, they say that we are experiencing the greatest apostasy in history, which means that people are moving away from faith and and God and ignoring the warnings about the doomsday bc the world is becoming more ''sinful'' and the love between the people has been cooled and we are living like in the antediluvian days when Noah warned about the cataclysm but people ignored, mocked and called him demented and paranoid and instead they were eating, drinking and partying until the flood came and destroyed the world. world and killed everyone, and they keep repeating this saying that this is real even though it has been proven that it never happened and that it is impossible for a storm this strong to cover the top of Mount Everest, they think they are right and scientists are wrong, because science is an ''abominable sin'' against God, They say that God is merciful but he is also wrathful and cruel against those who do not follow his commandments. and they also talk about Jesus' appearance as if it were true at that time even though it has not yet been proven. i've watched some videos of these pastors and missionaries of my country and never got their prophecies and predictions wrong, all of things that have said become true
They say that geopolitical tensions are increasing which will cause ww3, it is no wonder that countless billionaires around the world like Mark Zuckerberg are building bunkers and selling several of their assets, i saw a letter written in 1873 that a American Freemason named Albert Pike who in his letter predicted the first two world wars, and is now supposedly ''predicted correctly'' the third world war, which would begin with a conflict between Zionist Israelis and Arabs, and also they claim that this war between Israel and Iran -Hamas is also the prophecy of Gog and Magog being fulfilled, They also say that the world will enter an unprecedented global economic crisis worse than the great depression, which would increase prices absurdly and this would culminate in the greatest famine the world has ever had, surpassing the great famine of the Middle Age,
They also say that elites such as the World Economic Forum, the UN and the Bilderberg Group will launch a gigantic EMP weapon that will shut down all energy and appliances in the world, and that they will then enact global martial law that will taking citizens off the streets and homes via buses and putting them in concentration camps and killing mainly white and conservative Christian groups and burying them in FEMA coffins which will start the famous New World Order and mass depopulation through the great reset and agenda 2030 and will put an end to all cash and create an electronic currency where payment is made with the global fingerprint, which they also say will replace passports with this global biometric password, they also say that They will do away with clothes and food and will replace them with processed foods made from insects, GMOs and laboratory-grown meats and everyone will be forced to wear the same clothes and have their names changed they also say that they will install government cameras inside the houses to know if any intruder is entering the empty houses
and all of this will begin the antichrist's rise to power, he will be a powerful leader who will unite all sovereign governments into one government and people will worship him and will implant the mark of the beast, where no one will buy and sell without it and will kill everyone who does not accept the mark, which means that everyone in the cities will die, only those who go to the fields or mountains will survive, it is no wonder that they are asking to stock up on water, non-perishable food, batteries , flashlights, medicines especially ivermectin (so much so that I've seen reports of people curing themselves of COVID using this medicine and chloroquine) and radios to survive between 2025 and 2027, because according to them, there will be a pandemic 30 times more lethal than the previous one that will kill almost 400 million people in just two years and that will be the period where seal the seven-year peace agreement between Christianity, Judaism and Islam and will sacrifice a red heifer in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, where it will be destroyed in sequence to begin the construction of the third temple where the throne of the antichrist will be during the final three and a half years
They also insists that global warming is a lie bc all of these disasters that are happening such as frequent strong earthquakes which happened in turkey, morocco, japan and taiwan recently, floods that left the southern of my country almost destroyed, tornadoes and hurricanes becoming stronger and killing more people and wildfires becoming more frequently is caused by these globalists, for example, the recent wildfires that happened in hawaii, canada and chile was caused by massive lasers coming from satellites and these floods and earthquakes caused by HAARP, and the fact-checking and social media such as reuters and afp is lying bc they are owned by rothschild and george soros for example
And i'm worried to have a cancer or a fatal heart attack when i become 20 years old that they discovered that in the last years have an increase on cases of cancer and fatal heart attack on young people, and they claim that is bc of the vaccines bc they contain aborted fetuses and microchips and graphene
And they also talk about the woke agenda, where defenders of this theory claim that globalists use films, video games and series to misrepresent characters from these entertainment industries to promote progressive agendas such as LGBT, black lives matter, abortion and feminism, for example, they made Ariel from The Little Mermaid black in live-action instead in white, as a way of indoctrinating masses and grooming children to be subjected to being perverse, it's no wonder that Disney is in one of the biggest crises in its history by excessively promoting identity issues in every film they release. And it's also no wonder that the number of abortions in the world increased over the last years
What I am most afraid of is the claim that globalists have knowledge of future events that makes the masses accept the event when a certain thing happens, this is called predictive programming, for example, in many disaster and science fiction films, there is a subliminal message in numbers called ''923'', supporters of this number mean that something very bad will happen on September 23rd, but obviously nothing happens, in White Noise for example, there was a train accident in the state of Ohio and in 2023 a train derailment with toxic products occurred in the same state as the film, Black Mirror ''predicted'' several technological innovations, The Simpsons for example predicted the September 11 attacks and Trump's victory in the elections, The Matrix also predicted predicted several technological innovations, such as the redpill movement and the production of babies in uterine machines. As for the Leave the World Behind', they say that the film predicted the accident of the ship that collided with the bridge in baltimore, Lastly, the film The Knowing is incredibly identical to the plot of the biblical apocalypse, but these claims are already debunked by fact checks
And i became scared of these prophecies that have been ''fulfilled'' such as Ezekiel which mentions that Dead Sea became filled with fishes and signs in the sky and stars disappearing
i will mention some of them:
They discovered recently that the moon have some rust pigments and the sun are frequently producing giant black spots which in apocalypse 6:12-17 means that the sun became black and the moon becoming blood
The days are passing faster, which on matthew 24:22 mentions that unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.
The Euphrates River is drying up which in apocalypse mentions that the sixth angel poured his bowl over the Euphrates River and its waters dried up and released four demons who destroyed half of the population
Some Rivers and seas are becoming red, which refers to Apocalypse 16:4 that the third angel poured his bowl on rivers and seas and became red as dead blood
And I started to think that some mathematical calculations they do are simply not coincidences, they took the year the Black Death ended in 1353 with the year the WHO declared a global COVID emergency in 2019, subtracting those years would give the result in 666 (2019-1353=666 to be simpler) which alludes to the number of the beast and nd other math that they also thinks its a proof that we are at the end of times uf we use the word ''CORONA'' as a code where the alphabet is corresponding to its letter in ascending order (for example a = 1, b = 2), it would give the numbers 3, 15, 18, 15, 14, 1 will also give the number of the beast is correct if we multiply these numbers.
I'm trying to follow channels that disagree that we are in the end times and treat people with love, like the method of preterism where it states that the apocalypse happened in the year 70, but they say that this is heresy because in Matthew 24:24 it says that in the last days false prophets will emerge deceiving many people and in 2 Peter 3:3 where it says that at the end of time many will mock and disagree with the imminent Return of Jesus
i'm asked my parents and my friends to repent of your sins and believe in the Word of God, But I bothered them so much that now they don't even want to hear it,
however after all that, I started to think that these evangelical channels only preach fear in people, thinking that Jesus is going to return physically and that I have been superior all the time for no reason at all. I researched these things so much that now it appears when I search for an account on Instagram or YouTube, I would like to thank anyone who could give me some tips on how to get out of this and get rid of these pests, how i do?

2024.05.20 02:02 joeMAMAkim Epic games has been a notoriously scummy and greedy company for many, many years. (warning: very long post. take measures to not fall asleep while reading my yapping.)

on one hand, it's great that a majority of you are finally realizing that they aren't good by most means. but on the other hand, it's not very good that a lot of you think they've only started being like this recently.
epic has been in controversies for many, many years. but it feels like most of the people in the Fortnite community just ignores their earlier wrongdoings.
an example of this has to do with Tencent, who to owns 40% of epic. if you think Disney owning 9% is bad, think about a massive super company owning 40%. i think it's very well known that Tencent is not a good company either, a quick google search will prove why.
the FOMO tactic that has been going on for years, and its battle pass system is another huge issue. people complain that this season is not giving enough XP, but then you either don't remember, or just didn't play back when this issue was even worse. back in chapter 1, the battle passes would "typically take around 75-150 hours to complete", according to the season 2 battle pass trailer. they have always been used as a way of encouraging players to sink as much time as possible into this game.
oh? you have a life outside of Fortnite? well, then you cant grind several daily challenges a day for a few battle stars, and then you will miss out on black knight. too bad, kid. but... you could beg your mother for money so you can buy the rest of the battle pass. just saying.
and then we have the problem of collabs in the BP. i personally don't really care about them much, but i can see why they're a massive issue. imagine getting into the game recently and hearing that you can play as the predator with an among us crewmate on your back, but uh oh! they were limited time only several years ago! this point has been discussed to death here already, do i really need to add more?
then we have the shop, the center point of attention from the community during chapter 5. when battle royale blew up, do you really think it was a coincidence that an item shop selling simple reskins of default skins and ports of hero models from StW for absurd prices popped up? rex in a dinosaur suit? that'll be 20 dollars. almost every single company's goal is to make as much money as possible. even epic back in the day.
my last point will be about something that has been reported as having happened from several different articles. if it has, then it is NOT a good look for this company. if it has been proved it hasn't, well, uh, ignore this next point then.
reports and articles says that epic games, during ~2018-2019, allegedly made a large amount of their employees work 70-100 hour long work weeks, for several month on end. i don't think i need to explain why this is not good. crutching employees in the first place is not a good way of treating your workers, and definitely not to that extent.
i want to finish up by saying that there are many, many more issues than these. if you're curious, you can do some digging yourself if you'd like to, but these were a number of issues i personally wanted to address. sorry if this post was long, but if i cut a lot of this down, crucial info could be excluded. goodbye.

2024.05.20 02:02 MasterPapaya4955 AITA for not giving my friend water bottles when I had 310 in terraria?

So me and my friend were playing vanilla terraria when he needed some water bottles to make summoning potions. However, I was running to the dungeon on the right side of the map and was already there. I thought that since the desert was only about 100 blocks away from him he could get his own. He instead wanted to wormhole potion to me and have me drop 10 bottles to him. I however thought that it was a waste since I had been the one to farm and fish up the materials for wormhole potions and since we were in early game we only had about 5 each. He thought that this was wrong and that I should just drop him the bottles. I told him that he could make his own. We argued about it for 10 minutes, in the time that he could've gotten the bottles. He then rage quit off terraria. AITA

2024.05.20 02:01 ALKRA-47 Help me Find an Advertised Video Game?

I saw this commercial pop up in my YouTube and I decided to watch it, but the title never seemed to come up in the commercial.
The game looks like a Roguelike RPG (over the top view) with more realistic graphics than stylistic ones, it was a traditional fantasy-based game with at least one shot of a character being levitated out of a coffin with a skull on it and another shot where different character is in a library looking at a book. pages may have been playing over, but I could be mistaking it for them just turning the pages.
I'd love to give more descriptions, but after only seeing it once between then and now when I was trying to refind it, I don't know if I remember much else from the ad. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

2024.05.20 02:01 Zealousideal_Chip456 Not being a completionist, is it still normal to take way longer than average to finish a game?

Recently I finished a single playthrough of Enderal and steam logged 350 hours, which is more than 4 times what howlongtobeat.com says it would take to finish the game.
Then I remembered how long it look for me to finish Fallout 4 a couple years ago, which took well over 400 hours, about 5x the time it should take.
It happens a lot to me, Elden Ring took me 400+ hours on my first playthrough, AC: Odyssey 500+ hours, BG3 nearly 400 hours, Kenshi 600+ hours...
Almost every single game I played took me more than 4x the time it would normally take to finish, with the exception of Withcher 3 and Startfield, which only took me double the average time to beat.
Since I'm not heavy into modding and definitely not a trophy/achievement completionist. I find it strange since those time are even longer than the "Completionist" time listed in the website.
Could there be something wrong with how I play the game? Because with this abysmal speed, it's proven difficulty to keep up the pace with friends and gaming communities.

2024.05.20 02:01 Sceritz [HIRING] $10-$50, Short-Ongoing Pokemon Fanfic VA's (Primarily Black/AAVE, other opportunities available)

Hello, I am writing a Pokemon fanfic and I am likely putting way too much behind it, but hey, Gotta love the storytelling hobby.
Pokemon Urban Black is a cyberpunk semi-realism take on Pokemon as a concept overall. The book has mature themes (not NSFW but certainly an older age range) and asks several questions about the nature of a pokemon world.
Anyway, I'm looking for a few voice actors who can help with snippets from the story. There will be no full-fledged chapter reading and even the most prominent roles will have snippets that last less than 1:30, if that.
This is a fun fan project. I am paying but I am not making profits off this. Below I am going to list roles from most to least prominent, along with two lines you can read if you so choose (not required before contact). Please let me know what roles you're considering when you reach out.
The one's that say "Pokemon" in parenthesis are characters from the actual games/manga/anime that you can look up.

2024.05.20 02:01 Decent-Ganache7647 Constantly Changing What Kind of Person I Want to Be

I’m on the older side of life and have always had many interests. Diagnosed with ADHD in college, but following graduation I never needed support or meds, even when I did a graduate degree.
I’ve always sort of admired my wide array of interests and passions even though I never stuck with anything for long. I noticed that recently I won’t allow myself to get into new things because I know it’ll fizzle out in a month or two.
Lately I’ve been thinking that this issue of changing interests is actually a problem because it extends into my idea of who or what kind of person I want to be. Some weeks I want to be an academic, usually paired with an idea of enjoying things like classical music and museums or being “cultured”. Other weeks it’s being outdoorsy and active. Other times it’s being a naturalist and enjoying birds and nature. Some times it’s being into my looks and dress. This week it’s being a yogi and enjoying relaxation practices. These all just cycle around depending on what I see around me or feel like. I like all these things and they all represent who I am, but I’m wondering about why they are all so separate and fragmented.
My guess is that I wasn’t really allowed to be who I was when I was growing up. Something I only really felt after age 25. Unlike most people who experience growing older as a positive for knowing who you are and what you want, I went the other way, with each passing year feeling less and less accepting of who I am and feeling the need to be someone other than myself.
Long story short, I’m wondering if this is some sort of mental health issue, if it’s ok to keep cycling through interests and if anyone else experiences this later in life. Specifically I’d love to read any material or self-help resources that might shine more light on this.

Theories on Theories: Assessing the Potential Magnitude of the May 17th Prospectus Filings, Part II, Is the Reverse Uno is Upon Us?
Edit: Of course I fucked up the title. Lol. Is the Reverse Uno Upon Us?*
Hello again, Apes.
I have gotten a solid 4 hours of sleep and am ready to keep plugging along.
Disclaimer: Nothing of which I discuss is financial advice and not indicative of what you should do with your money or investments. Make your own decisions. I have no idea what I am talking about.
Link to Part I of my little write-up, recommended that you read that first: https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/1cvo4hw/theories_on_theories_assessing_the_potential/
TL;DR for Part I: After 3+ years of working in near silence, Gamestop has dropped a reverse uno time-bomb nuke on shorts, and I don't believe we have fully comprehended just how big and effective of a nuke it will be. They finally released their plans to end the abusive short-selling once and for all... I believe the details in the filings have the answers. Need more eyes. We just need to HODL and let RC & Team work their magic. This was precisely timed and will be executed precisely. I believe they are about to throw the whole kitchen sink at em. Shorts r truly fuk. To be continued.
TL;DR for Part II: Although you should really read through this to get super jacked...Predicition: Gamestop will lay down the reverse uno... the company will protect its shareholders through a slew of new, private, non-dilutive security offerings that we get first dibs on, and that are backed by our current/future holdings. Cash/non-cash dividends from the proceeds of the sale of those securities (units) are on the table. Thus, forcing shorts to either pay or close. MOASS is inevitable.
Many Apes have stepped up to begin analyzing these filings. Thank you! The goal with my analysis is to continue to educate Apes on what all this jargon means, shine more light on the specificities of the filings and to speculate (for fun) as to what I think Gamestop is going to do based on the specificities. In the first part, I discussed Book Entry Securities issued via the DTC (the stock we all know and love), Preferred Stock (the juicy and scare new stock on the block), and the mysterious "Preferred Stock Depositary" (PSD) and its proposed role in the issuance and management of Gamestop's preferred stock to Apes worldwide, keeping it away from abusive short sellers and directly in the hands of Apes.
In my first part, I speculated that the unnamed PSD would likely be computershare. But the more I think about it, the more I am unsure of that. And maybe that is why it is unnamed as of yet. Many Apes from different parts of the world have been unable to DRS, so that means they have been unable to access/use Computershare to hold/manage their shares and the DTC shit the bed one too many times when they committed international securities fraud on the splividend. So, I am thinking its possible that Gamestop secures another entity with more accessibility worldwide, or perhaps is even in the process of creating their own depositary for their newly-issued securities (dare I say, units?), to manage their "Global Securities" (a term they use in the filings).

Tory vs. Tary

Chat GPT: In the context of stocks, both “depository” and “depositary” refer to entities that hold securities, but they serve different functions:
In summary, while both depositories and depositaries play crucial roles in the securities market, a depository is involved in the safekeeping and trading of securities, whereas a depositary issues receipts that represent shares in foreign companies, facilitating international trading for investors312.
It seems there is more to come here as to what exact role the depositary will serve. Notice the phrasing \"series of securities that differ from the terms described here\"
Tinfoil: We have seen some evidence of and speculated that Gamestop is looking more and more like they are positioning themselves to not only be dominant in retail gaming, but also serve as a holding company, potentially even serving as their own "bank". Could a brand new, currently unknown arm of Gamestop BE the unnamed depositary??? Warren Icahn anyone?
https://preview.redd.it/j1dmqz31lg1d1.jpg?width=748&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d8ff6dbd7a37307413c79f9527508194a509031
If so, what role would Computershare then play? This was speculated long ago and I am thinking these filings are just a peek inside the inner workings of such an entity.

Subscriptions, Warrants, and Units

Sounds a lot like "series of securities that differ from the terms described here", doesn't it? I left off with a couple teasers and I look to close the tinfoil loop on those here.
GPT:
Stock subscriptions and warrants are both financial instruments related to the stock market, but they serve different purposes:
In summary, while both stock subscriptions and warrants give investors the right to purchase shares, stock subscriptions are typically offered to existing shareholders at a discounted price to prevent dilution of ownership, whereas warrants are long-term instruments that are often issued to sweeten the deal when other securities are being sold321.

Here's where I use a whole roll of Reynolds Heavy Duty Tin Foil:

Sooo, in Part I, I offer the notion that Gamestop isn't going to just do one or two of these proposed offerings, they are going to do them all and they're telling us how. What I am gathering so far is Apes/holders/longs will get a chance to suck up the (45M, but up to 1B) book-securities shares faster and cheaper than you can possibly imagine through the simultaneous issuance/use of Warrants and Subscription Contracts. These investment vehicles will be issued to all record holders in "Units". And there's a lot of juice to squeeze outta this IMO.
Notice here, mention of \"unit agent\" and again in the bulletpoints, they mention \"a bank or trust company\" that governs the \"units\". I'm thinking they will likely be the same entity that manages it all.
Gamestop's TL;DR on units: We can issue any number of combinations of two or more of the aforementioned securities/vehicles (Warrants Subscriptions, Common Stock, Preferred Stock) which we call "Units". They may be transferable as a single security that holds multiple securities within it. Our unit Agent (a designated trust or bank). AND, the units might not even be listed on any securities exchange. (Privately held, hard to trade, hard to access, hard to fuck with UNITS of securities?)
So, hypothetically, all shareholders of record on a given record date determined by a supplemental filing will get FIRST DIBS to purchase en masse, a lot of Gamestop stock, perhaps cheaper than ever before. The warrants give us the opportunity to buy at a pre-determined price, the subscriptions contracts give us the chance to not dilute our value in our holdings. Gamestop is literally going to nearly GIVE us a shitload more stock, privately, securely, and through a private, exclusive offering.
And here's where it gets even more juicy...I think they're gonna do it DFV style...in reverse order, relative to the order of each type of offering listed in their filing.

Protect Ya Neck, Shorts! There's gonna a rush to grab GME stock!

The Plan
See if you can follow me here...in order...
  1. BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES: Gamestop gives holders the exclusive rights and first dibs to purchase a shitload more Class A Common stock through new "Units". The units house the subscription contracts, warrants, and underlying stock. But there's only 45,000,000 more slated to be offered (so far). They give us the OPTION to purchase more later on until a certain date. The subscriptions give apes the opportunity to prevent dilution of their positions through scooping up the new stock before anyone else can. The Warrants allow us to add more at a given price (buying at a fixed price on the way up anyone?) This raises a TON of capital (potentially billions) for the company.
  2. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND UNITS: Apes jump at the opportunity to scoop up more class A shares and this allows them the opportunity to then "purchase" a greater number of fractionalized preferred stock (depositary shares) than they could have before (with only 5,000,000 whole shares available). All preferred stocks (whether whole or fractional) are backed by the chosen depositary's receipts (the official ledger, NOT managed by the corrupt DTC). AND GIVEN ALL PREFERRED STOCK IS BACKED BY THE GLOBAL SECURITIES (GME Class A Common Stock)...THIS ALLOWS INTERNATIONAL APES AND ALL APES WHO COULD NOT/CANNOT DRS TO ESSENTIALLY HAVE THEIR STOCK DIRECTLY REGISTERED THROUGH THE COMPANY ITSELF. Unfuckwithable!
  3. The preferred stocks (somehow) become part of the Units where all securities are held with the Unit agent (the depositary). Proceeds from the preferred stock sales go toward the company capital, to be used for general company purposes. What are those, you might ask?
Gamestop states that, while they could, there are currently no plans to acquire other companies or make any specific investments. Until they do have those plans, they want to invest the net proceeds from the offering in interest-bearing securites or accounts.
I'm sitting here thinking...what if, as a "thank you" to loyal shareholders, they invest it back into shareholder accounts through an immediate cash dividend? Why would you want to leave if you're getting sick divvies on all your newly acquired stock (common and/or preferred)? You just spent $ buying preferred stock, why not delight investors by giving some right back? Awh but that would be expensive for the company! Nope. It would be expensive for the SHORTS who are responsible for paying that dividend!
https://preview.redd.it/a4on4059ug1d1.jpg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21617ee7dff5ddb3e2a4046e481a47dbb464bddb
GPT: When you short a stock, you’re borrowing shares from someone else (typically your brokerage firm) and selling them on the open market12. The person or entity from whom you borrowed the shares still technically owns them. If the company issues a dividend during this time, the original owner of the shares is entitled to that dividend12.
However, since their shares have been sold to a third party (by you, the short-seller), you are responsible for making the dividend payment to the original owner12. This means that if you have a short position on a stock when it goes ex-dividend (the date by which you need to own the stock to receive the dividend), you will owe the amount of the dividend to the lender of the shares12.
So, in summary, if you’re short a stock and that stock pays a dividend, you’ll be responsible for paying that dividend to the person or entity from whom you borrowed the shares12. This is an important consideration to keep in mind when deciding to short a stock, especially one that pays dividends.
So, let's say the shorts are still regarded af...and they have the $ to pay the dividend(s), cool. What if FME issues multiple or even monthly dividends? (There are currently 80 stocks that issue monthly dividends) Well, one, they can only pay for this for so long on top of the collateral and capital required to maintain their short position... Then, boom goes the dynamite. And if THAT doesn't work, gamestop could just choose to issue a non-cash dividend...which they outline below...
Wombo Combo?
Gamestop's ELI5: In the event that we issue a non-cash dividend, the PSD (depositary) will distribute the PROPERTY received by it TO the record holders of the depositary (preferred) shares entitled there to, IN PROPORTION to the number of depositiary shares owned by those holders. UNESS...the PSD determines that it somehow cannot be done...THEN the PSD may take that PROPERTY...and sell it publically or privately, and then the proceeds from that public/private sale will go directly to holder of the preferred stock.
Tinfoil? They're gonna try and issue/distribute the Wu-Tang Album or some other non-fungible property via a non-cash dividend. If that can't be done for whatever reason, they will sell the album/property at auction...all proceeds go back to preferred stock holders. No matter what, holders of the preferred stock win.
My last bit of tinfoil sounds crazy but, again, in part I, I spoke about filings saying the stock can be issued permanently, or even temporarily.
Gamestop sucks back up a ton of their class A common stock through buy backs. They may already be beginning to do that while the price is cheap, eventually leaving only a small amount of shares, or even just preferred stock available, privately held in the names holders. Non-diluted, scarcem valuable, and unable to be fucked with. GME becomes its own bank. Shareholders get the protection they deserve. MOASS happens through one of many ways...
I understand this is NOT proof that they are buying back...just speculation.
Once Gamestop has the shorts off their back finally, and the capital they want/need...they then go about what they really want to continue to GROW the company...mergers/acquisitions?
Also, some other Apes have said that its possible the Gamestop is offering the shorts a way out. And while personally do not think this is fair or likely, I think its possible and would not surprise me. But what if Apes/longs suck up all the shares at these offerings before shorts even get a chance? Then they're still fucked. Still needed our shares and they're now EVEN HARDER to get.
https://preview.redd.it/xooxvb412h1d1.jpg?width=1516&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9ce6f25167ee4b65852e83e3697898217bc4d04
No matter what, I AM JACKED. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT ENDS UP LOOKING LIKE.
Apes together Strong.
TL;DR: Although you should really read through this to get super jacked...Predicition: Gamestop will lay down the reverse uno... the company will protect its shareholders through a slew of new, private, non-dilutive security offerings that we get first dibs on, and that are backed by our current/future holdings.

2024.05.20 02:00 BL00D7HIRSTY Path Of The Barbarian

Path of the Barbarian: Barbarian
What makes a Barbarian a Barbarian? Is it their unbridled rage, tenacity for violence, symbiotic relationship with nature? The answer is a simple yes to all those questions and to some a Barbarian is too dense to even ask.
This is not only a revision to some features, but also its own subclass. If you're looking for thrills and frills then look elsewhere. If you’re looking for what should be a hard hitting rough and tumble tank that most players are asking for then look no further. Enjoy!
P.s. Tasha’s optional rules shouldn't be glossed over for any campaign.
Redesigned Rage Beginning at 1st level, rage is no longer a flat damage bonus. •Instead you add 1d4 to your melee weapon attack damage. •This Damage die increases to 1d6 at 9th level then to 1d8 at 16th level. •The number of times you can Rage per day increases by 1.
All Fight, No Flight Starting at 3rd level, while raging you throw all caution to the wind, never willing to back away from a good scrap you push yourself further than any sane person would. •If you're three-quarters below your health point maximum, your attacks deal an extra 1d4 points of damage. •If you are below half it becomes 1d6. •If you are below one-quarter it becomes 1d8.
Improved Fast Movement Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing heavy armor. •Your speed increases by an additional 5 feet at 9th, 13th, and finally 17th level.
Rugged Outdoorsman Starting at 6th level, you’ve become quite adept at surviving in the wild; From hunting big game, to fishing, even exploring exotic landscapes. •You no longer suffer exhaustion from extreme climates. •You gain a climbing and swimming speed equal to half your movement. •You have Advantage on Perception and Investigation checks when tracking and/or finding traps. •While raging you gain resistance to your choice of Cold, Fire, or Poison damage. °You become resistant to another choice from this list at 10th level and again at 14th.
Built Different At 10th level, your rage singles out the biggest baddest sumbitch in the yard. When you enter your rage for the first time in combat you can target a hostile creature that is causing you to become irritated. •When you use the attack action to attack the target creature twice, you can make a third attack against the same creature. •If the creature is reduced to 0 hit points this way, you can use a bonus action on subsequent turns to target another creature that is making you irritable. °You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus, and regain all uses after a long rest.
Improved Reckless Attack At 11th level, not only are you more fierce you are even more desperate. When you make your second attack on your turn, you may do so recklessly. •Doing so gives you advantage on melee attacks using strength during this turn. •Until your next turn you have disadvantage on Wisdom and Charisma saving throws.
Reckless Abandon Finally at 14th level, with countless battles fought and scars worn as trophies you feel brazen in face of violence. As a reaction to taking damage from a spell or an attack, you may forgo all your resistances while raging. •You then spend and roll any amount of unspent hit die + your Constitution modifier, to give up to 6 creatures you can see temporary hit points equal to the total rolled. •Any creature that has Temporary hit points given to them this way has advantage on attack rolls made if they are within 10 feet of you or a creature that is making you irritable. °You can use this feature once between rests.
Towering Presence Starting at 14th level, your presence chills down the spine of weak willed individuals. •You add your Constitution modifier to intimidation checks. •While raging you add your Constitution modifier to any wisdom saving throw.

2024.05.20 01:59 mikan_writings How do I tell my friends I don’t want to play DnD with them anymore?

How do I tell my friends I don’t want to play DnD with them anymore?
tl;dr: I’m really unhappy after a finished oneshot, DM and two other players made me feel like an NPC through the game, I want to quit playing DnD with this group but I’m worried it’ll impact our friendship negatively.
Ok, so now a bit of context:
Me and four of my friends started playing a DnD oneshot some time ago. It was my and another person’s first time playing, DM’s first time DMing, and for the most part, it was a lot of fun.
The DM was doing a lot of things on homebrew rules and giving us a lot of freedom, which was cool, valuing our creativity more even if it meant bending the rules. They also gave us permission to have “solo” and “duo” sessions if we wanted to, so not everyone in our party had to be there the whole time.
The “oneshot” turned into a full blown campaign and I noticed that because of the solos, my character (and that of the other first time player) soon became more and more distant from the main group.
This was, in hindsight, encouraged by the DM. We weren’t missing sessions because we didn’t want to be there, but rather in-game circumstances would cause it. For example, an NPC asked my character for a private conversation, and while that convo happened, the rest of the team was captured and I couldn’t re-join them until a few sessions later. It happened a couple of times, both to me and the other first time player.
Point is, by the end, it really started to feel like the two of us were add-ons our DM had to put in daycare while she and the other two players went off to have fun.
Finally, today we had our final session of the campaign and… well.
The two players and the DM are delighted. They got a lot of resolution to their arcs, got a couple NPCs who are willing to die for them, all the good stuff.
The other first time player checked out at one point and is talking about maybe changing characters and during epilogue he didn’t really interact with anything or anyone and just told us he’s glad the campaign’s over.
I’m… unhappy and dissatisfied. Not only didn’t my character get anything from the whole adventure, but the other two PCs and some of the NPCs are now openly hostile towards them. This is entirely because my character voiced their distrust of one of the other PCs, who tried to betray everyone during the campaign. The NPCs who are actually on my PC’s side and happy with her are all currently having a crisis as the actions of the rest of my team hurt a lot of them and people they cared about.
Because of this, our final session was… really emotionally taxing and unpleasant for me, and it made me realize I… don’t really want to continue playing this campaign with these friends anymore.
I love my friends, and I doubt they wanted to make me feel this way. I was approached by the DM and one of the other players at one point and asked to change my character because she’s “too good” and continuing with her in the party would require some work as at that point she really doesn’t want to continue on with these people, but it just feels like I’m being asked to give up playing a character I love so that the two of them can continue with theirs guilt-free. I should add I initially did think about it and even created a character whose morality would be more suited to our now definitely more evil-leaning party, but I realized I… didn’t want to play evil. And that even creating that character made me uncomfortable, especially when other players and DM commented on what I should change in them to fit the party even better, personality-wise.
It felt like I’m an accessory and not a player to them.
At the same time, these weekly meetings were what really brought us together as a group of friends and I feel extremely sad thinking I’d just. Not have that anymore.
It’s too early for it right now, as we just finished the campaign, but I know once I calm down I'll need to talk to them about it… I don’t really see a way to keep playing with them, but, I don’t know. Am I overreacting? Do you have any advice on how to let my friends know I’m no longer interested in playing DnD with them without making it sound like I don’t want to hang out anymore?

2024.05.20 01:59 randomDoge5 How do matchup servers work?

I recently moved to Perth from Sri Lanka. Back in SL I assume I was playing on a SEA server since I mostly got matched up with Indonesians and Singaporeans but rarely met any Indians. After moving to Perth I’m on the Oceania server cuz most of the people I see have the AUS or NZ flag.
I still play with my mates back in SL but it’s really tricky finding a server. If I host, their ping in lobby is like 300ms. But when they host we can find a server where we can both play. Doesn’t work on duo or trio tho. In those cases it’ll show green ping in lobby (30-40ms for them and 60-80ms for me) but when the game starts we’re in the Oceania server so they have to play with like 300ms.
We’ve had success with 5Q. Like 70-80% of the time we’re on a server we can all play on. But there are times when this doesn’t work and they’re pulled to the Oceania server. To make sure we’re on the right server we repeatedly start Q’ing and cancelling. If the ping in lobby stays green we’re good, otherwise gotta recreate it. Most of the time this works but on some occasions I get constant 285ms while my teammates are fine.
But with all this bs it takes us like half an hour to actually get into a game (then we lose so an hour’s wasted). I just wanted to know if there is any consistent way for us to get a particular server? Or like how the game decides on what server we play on?
Would be grateful for any ideas you guys have on this. We only play like once or twice a week so it gets really frustrating when one of us has terrible ping on one of the few games we play.
PS. This is all in regards to rank. Brawls and classics for some reason we can get SEA servers even if duo or trio.

2024.05.20 01:59 brandonleeeee Best role for someone with a electrical engineering degree...

Hello,
I have been brousing this sub for a while and spoke to a recruiter from the careers office and just wanna ask some questions.
As the title states, I'm currently doing a degree in electrical engineering and finish uni in 2 weeks. However, I'm set to do a masters, I'm 24 currently birthday is soon so I'll be roughly 26 shortly after I finish my masters and I was wondering what role to apply for.
For some background information I worked as a labourer during and before uni. I also applied to be a royal marines commando when I was 18. I made it 8 weeks into training and left as I just wasn't mature enough at the time and had a lot of personal and family issues to deal with. I'm doing much better now and was originally thinking of applying for the marines again as an officer however by the time I graduate I will be too old for this role.
I have been preparing to join again throughout uni so I have kept my physical and mental health good and compete currently in a couple sports, mainly olympic style weightlifitng and mma.
Fitness standards pushups:55 1.5m: 8:56 sit ups: not sure pull ups:16
These are what I got at lympstone and I'm confident I can hit these numbers again if not do better. I was wondering with all this background information in mind. Now that I know I can't join as a royal marines officer what would be another option. I only ever thought about marines originally however now it would seem wasteful to not go for something engineering based.
I'm asking as the careers officer asked me what role I wanted to join and I wasn't sure the direction to go down and was hoping someone here could give some information as a good career path given my background. For context my degree mainly focuses on signal processing, machine learning, digital communications etc.
Interests: mma, weightlifting, wrestling, video games, chess, hiking, computers.
TL;DR
24 year old, graduate at 25 (turn 26 shorlty after). Left training for marines at 18 as I wasn't ready. Worked on myself (did sport, degree in engineering) and am now ready and was looking for advice on what role to go for.
Thank you to anyone who reads/responds. Would really appreciate the help.

2024.05.20 01:59 PerceptionFine5327 Should I keep on forgiving my sister?

A little back story before I begin the talking about the actual issue. I was 6 years old when I was fostered by this current family (not adopting - this means councils can intervene a bit more) there is my foster dad, mum and sister and then there's my real brother and I. We all had our issues when my brother and I were growing up. I am 17 now, and have since grown out of the stupid things that we used to do.
I had an ok childhood and I didn't see much of my sister. She only participated with my life and started wanting to make memories with me once I hit puberty. When I started my periods, the foster parents made it a big deal to start me on the pill as soon as they could. I had no issues with my periods - except holidays. But they didn't want me making an issue of going on holiday with them. So they lied to the nurse and got me on the pill., even getting me on evening primrose and starflower oil, claiming I had behavioral issues - bear in mind I was 13 when this was all happening and I wanted to have my say. And my way of getting my revenge was to deprive them of having the ability to do girly things with the second daughter who they'd never really treated as a daughter. I began to hate being a girl and hated being called a woman. So I started covering up and not allowing them to buy me stuff that might show me off or indicate that I'm a girl (I even wear jumpers in the summer).
My sister got me these books for my birthday or Christmas because they helped her through growing up into the woman she is now, and wanted me to understand what was going on with my body. I knew what was going on with my body, I just didn't care - so I started mistreating it. It got so bad that my brother actually thought I was a boy. And I told her I had no need for the books because I didn't want to know and I wouldn't be the sister she wanted me to be.
I know this sounded vain - but I genuinely thought this way and hated life itself and wouldn't talk about any of it. Not to anyone.
Onto the main story. My sister is 23 with Fragile X, and I am 17 in June. My foster sister (FS) came to college with me - I signed up before she did - I was brought round to having the idea of having her at college with me, though being pessimistic about it at first. I asked her not to tell anyone that I was a foster child because here people believe that all foster children are pure evil and should be kept away from. But on the very first day, we weren't sat there 10 minutes and she goes "yeah, she's my foster sister. My parents fostered her when she was very young" I was upset because she broke the promise she'd made me. But I ignored it because I told that it wasn't malicious and I was over reacting.
In December last year, she struck again. I had told my friends to tell me if they had an issue with me. This was because I had to deal with a psycho ex bf that almost had his way. My friends told my sister first, made them panic and told them to report me because I've done it before which is a lie, 4 weeks I had to endure of silence, insults in front of me and behind me, and door slamming. Worst of all, she told everyone, leaving no one out. So it wasnt just her and they're still being horrible and snubby towards me today. But I've grown to not care. They want to live in a world centered around her lies, then that's their own pain when they find out.

2024.05.20 01:57 BL00D7HIRSTY Path Of The Barbarian

Path of the Barbarian: Barbarian
What makes a Barbarian a Barbarian? Is it their unbridled rage, tenacity for violence, symbiotic relationship with nature? The answer is a simple yes to all those questions and to some a Barbarian is too dense to even ask.
This is not only a revision to some features, but also its own subclass. If you're looking for thrills and frills then look elsewhere. If you’re looking for what should be a hard hitting rough and tumble tank that most players are asking for then look no further. Enjoy!
P.s. Tasha’s optional rules shouldn't be glossed over for any campaign.
Redesigned Rage Beginning at 1st level, rage is no longer a flat damage bonus. Instead you add 1d4 to your melee weapon attack damage. This Damage die increases to 1d6 at 9th level then to 1d8 at 16th level. The number of times you can Rage per day increases by 1.
All Fight, No Flight Starting at 3rd level, while raging you throw all caution to the wind, never willing to back away from a good scrap you push yourself further than any sane person would. •If you're three-quarters below your health point maximum, your attacks deal an extra 1d4 points of damage. •If you are below half it becomes 1d6. •If you are below one-quarter it becomes 1d8.
Improved Fast Movement Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing heavy armor. •Your speed increases by an additional 5 feet at 9th, 13th, and finally 17th level.
Rugged Outdoorsman Starting at 6th level, you’ve become quite adept at surviving in the wild; From hunting big game, to fishing, even exploring exotic landscapes. •You no longer suffer exhaustion from extreme climates. •You gain a climbing and swimming speed equal to half your movement. •You have Advantage on Perception and Investigation checks when tracking and/or finding traps. •While raging you gain resistance to your choice of Cold, Fire, or Poison damage. °You become resistant to another choice from this list at 10th level and again at 14th.
Built Different At 10th level, your rage singles out the biggest baddest sumbitch in the yard. When you enter your rage for the first time in combat you can target a hostile creature that is causing you to become irritated. •When you use the attack action to attack the target creature twice, you can make a third attack against the same creature. •If the creature is reduced to 0 hit points this way, you can use a bonus action on subsequent turns to target another creature that is making you irritable. °You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus, and regain all uses after a long rest.
Improved Reckless Attack At 11th level, not only are you more fierce you are even more desperate. When you make your second attack on your turn, you may do so recklessly. •Doing so gives you advantage on melee attacks using strength during this turn. •Until your next turn you have disadvantage on Wisdom and Charisma saving throws.
Reckless Abandon Finally at 14th level, with countless battles fought and scars worn as trophies you feel brazen in face of violence. As a reaction to taking damage from a spell or an attack, you may forgo all your resistances while raging. •You then spend and roll any amount of unspent hit die + your Constitution modifier, to give up to 6 creatures you can see temporary hit points equal to the total rolled. •Any creature that has Temporary hit points given to them this way has advantage on attack rolls made if they are within 10 feet of you or a creature that is making you irritable. °You can use this feature once between rests.
Towering Presence Starting at 14th level, your presence chills down the spine of weak willed individuals. •You add your Constitution modifier to intimidation checks. •While raging you add your Constitution modifier to any wisdom saving throw.

2024.05.20 01:57 eyeballpasta self revive glitch?

i just had a major glitch. Went down, kept my gun and everything in the „spirit world,“ became untargetable. I was able to waste my ammo in the spirit world but did no dmg. But i was able to revive both myself (for free) and revive teammates from the spirit world. No life tokens. End Game board said I never died. This glitch ended up letting me carry. I was dying on purpose to save my teammates and then just reviving myself. the only downside was my game stopped registering hits/health bar, so i never knew if i was about to die.
anyone seen this before?

2024.05.20 01:57 Igunami 26 [F4A] EU looking for my person

Thank you, who decides to take the time to read this.
I'm Marta, and I'd love to share a bit of myself with you in the hope of finding companionship, comfort and love. I am looking for a long term relationship, someone with whom I might want to settle down, perhaps you? Please just note that I’m looking for sfw at the beginning. Physical attraction isn’t part of the equation for me. It all begins with emotional connection. If I become comfortable with you, you have sense of humor, you’re an open person who is not afraid of voicing opinions and have something interesting to say you’re my type probably (if you are a firefighter consider it certain, I might have something for firefighting gear). If you’re more of a physical attraction kind of person that’s not a problem. Simply ask for photo and end one of yours.
Now something more about me.
❤️ 5ft 2in, 195lb. I am Caucasian. I have longer light brown hair, blue eyes. Working on losing off some of it. I would love it if you could help keep me motivated.
❤️ I work full-time as a account manager (still, but might change jobs soon). It’s nothing that I would like to do, but I earn enough to live more than comfortable. Some evenings and weekends I also work at my local McDonald’s. It might sound crazy, but I treat it as a hobby. I love having contact with customers and employees there and each completed and served order is like a dopamine shot.
❤️ I’ve discovered that I like watching people playing games much more than just playing them myself. I love being on calls with my friends and watching them play games while commenting everything and taking about anything in between. But if you’re someone who is looking for person that will be right beside you while playing, we can tray delving into forgotten dungeons or win a battle royale. I would love to see your face light up every time we share a game, cause every co-op game is a confession that I want to spend more time with you.
❤️ I like watching movies, series, videos etc. Especially true crime and catastrophic documentaries. I’m open for anything except for horrors about demons, possessions and devil. That stuff scares me and I would never watch it alone or without physical presence of someone I trust.
❤️ I'm a hopeless romantic so I might be looking for a partner that I can be hopelessly romantic with. You know, someone that I can do all the cutesy couple shit with like going on random date nights, or going to a park or random city and people watch, or just cuddle up and watch our favorite shows while wearing matching pajamas. I'm looking for someone that can be my cheerleader, and someone who would want me to be their loudest and biggest cheerleader. Life is hard to do alone, and we all need someone to help us through it.
❤️ I like to think that I am a very laid back, go with the flow type of person, and I would much rather have a night in, than a night out.
❤️ I am very open minded, however I don’t smoke so if you’re someone that smells of cigarettes all the time and want to smoke at home, car we won’t be a match I think.
❤️ I know politics is a pretty big thing for people, but it isn’t a big part in my life - that being said I can sum up my take on politics in one sentence: let women, gays, and people of all races dance their dances after smoking their marijuana crops or whatever, then maybe kill the rich or tax them to death.
❤️ I have this thing called hate for being wet once I’m not intending on. So rain, being splashed accidentally or purposefully etc. it’s a huge no for me. I can’t function in rain without umbrella. Take it or leave it.
I hope this snippet catches your eye, even though it’s only a small piece of me.
Who am I looking for?
💙 My only preferences are someone who is roughly 26-40 in age, a few years outside of that would be okay if we really connect.
💙 I’m ok with distance but you must consider that I want to eventually meet.
💙 Someone who is caring and have sense of humor.
💙 Someone who always tries to see things in a perspective other than their own, but holds morals highly.
💙 Someone who doesn't mind me texting them at like 3am to tell them about the action in the last episode of the show I just finished. Just basically you need to be open for reviving random thoughts, photos, out of context facts and contemplations, TikTok’s, instagram posts, memes and a lot more.
💙 Someone who lives life with passion, but once they are down they would not be hesitant to share that burden. If you're passionate about something I really want to be a part of it in some way. If it's listening to you ramble for hours about that obscure album you just found or the new succulent you just bought or this wild spice blend you've been trying out. Whatever makes you smile, cry, think, I want to understand it.
Note that I prefer discord over here and I love voice calls.
If that sound interesting, my dms are open.

2024.05.20 01:56 JaneWilloughby My thoughts on the KEY puzzles

I’ve seen a good amount of discourse on some of the puzzles in KEY, but I wanted to share my thoughts on a few specific puzzles (good and bad) to see if other people shared my struggles/opinions.
  1. The locked book in the cafe - The graphic design for this clue is incredibly flawed in my opinion. Why would you have lines drawn from one point of the compass to a specific number if you didn’t want players to conclude that number is connected to that specific point. (Looking at you, 4). I spent probably two hours on this puzzle thinking I was supposed to count the number of pictures on the wall or plants in a specific corner…not cool.
  2. Coffee making - aside from the wonky mechanics that take some getting used to and the annoying flipping back and forth to different recipes, I didn’t mind this puzzle. I honestly kinda like the fact that the latte art is so frustrating because it has created a hilarious meme for the game that I think every ND game needs. I lowkey feel like HER made it infuriating on purpose for this reason.
  3. The gold artifact in the museum - I feel like this one might be more user error on my end, but I really did not understand that I was supposed to search for Rs around the town, nor did I think I was supposed to click the little button at the bottom to trigger the mechanism. I swear I had the right combination for so long but kept second guessing myself because I assumed it would open on its own.
  4. The trunk in the antique store - I just couldn’t find the little button on the side and it stumped me for a good hour, but I will say once I got it open, the gem sliding puzzle was very fun and a very unique puzzle that I quite enjoyed.
  5. The puppet show - Frustrating, but not enraging like some of the other puzzles. I think some more hints as to what props were needed could have helped a lot without making it too easy.
  6. The jewelry safe - I understand what they were trying to do, and I think it was a very good puzzle, but it definitely needed better guidance from the clues in the store. I don’t know how anyone could have solved this without the strategy guide or hints, but kudos to you if you did.
  7. The dean’s wall - I was so excited when I finally realized this was like the Bento puzzle in SAW and I knew exactly what I supposed to do, only to be incredibly disappointed when I had a correct solution about 3 different times, but it wasn’t the EXACT solution the game would accept. Very defeating.
  8. The alchemy puzzle - I was losing steam at this point so maybe I could have solved this on my own, but I struggled a lot with understanding what the book was trying to tell me and eventually looked up the solution after about 30 minutes. BUT this puzzle was pretty fun once I knew what I needed to do and I really appreciate what they were trying to do.
  9. The riddles in the alchemy book - I really liked the candle puzzle and the moon/knight puzzle, but once I got to the clock puzzle I just threw my hands up and said absolutely not and almost immediately looked up the solution lol
  10. The key weight puzzle - My only complaint about this is that I don’t think it makes logical sense in real life? If you don’t know how much one key weighs, you have no idea what the order would be, right? So if you have to get solution by random guessing until Nancy says “that’s right!” How does Nancy know?
Okay, I think I’ll leave it with those 10 for now, but would really love to know y’all’s thoughts as well!
