HK Matchmaking is broken

2024.06.02 06:39 filemawn HK Matchmaking is broken

I play comp in HK server and in 4 out of 5 games, I play with smurfs. On the first comp I played today we went against a smurfing Reyna and we had a new Phoenix who still had the default crosshair and looked like he had no idea what was going on. On my second comp today, I got two smurfs on my team and none on the enemy team.
Sometimes even the map rotation feels broken. Yesterday I played on Bind five times in a row. At this point, I feel like my rank is based on the matchmaking. It's either I win with a smurf on my team or the smurf from the enemy team makes it impossible for my team to win.

2024.06.02 06:37 gilmoregorls The bride wants me to decorate the venue on the day of her wedding

I'm very confused as this is the first ethnic wedding that I'm attending. My friend gets married tomorrow and the ceremony is from 5-7pm followed by the reception from 7-9pm. I live an hour away from the venue and I don't drive. She calls me at 8:30 pm this evening asking me to be there by 1 pm to help decorate the venue without any prior heads up. All she did was given me the decoratoevent planners phone number and has asked me to coordinate with him. I did call her back to ask if I could get dressed for the party somewhere on site but she didn't have a clear answer. She did say that I could use the bridal room (which I'm very hesitant to do) without any clear instructions whether I would actually be given access. As I had no idea that I'd be asked to decorate the venue, I had not planned ahead i.e. pack my bag with my outfit, jewelry, makeup. I'm a little confused about the whole situation and I'm unsure what to do. Should I help her decorate, go back home get dressed and attend the reception because there's no way I'd make it to the wedding anyway.
A few points to note: we have been friends for just over a year. Again, I don't drive and I live downtown. Most of my acquaintances attending the wedding live pretty close to the venue so I'm not sure if I can ask either of them for a ride. And I also don't know how long it's going to take me to decorate the venue or what it involves for me to be able to plan this better. I don't want to be rude and skip the wedding. Appreciate your advice on this! Thanks 🙏

2024.06.02 06:22 Odd_Personality_3766 Is it possible for an InGame mini “Event editor” system?

I’m wondering if it’s either possible or not.
If it is, I’m thinking it might take a lot of knowledge to pull it off, but I’ll still see if I could do it.
If it isn’t, I still thank you for answering!

2024.06.02 06:21 omallytheally zora

After watching the end of Discovery, and reading through reddit, I went and watched Calypso.
It genuinely confused me. What is the point of sending Zora to those coordinates? Are we supposed to assume that this is an "agent daniels/kovich timeline thing?" What could your mission possibly be after 1000 years of.... nothing?
It honestly seems cruel, after they've established Zora as a sentient being. They're knowingly sending her to this fate.
I guess Calypso was written before the end of Discovery? Which perhaps forced them to write this in for continuity?
But I was wondering if I'm missing something. People of reddit, why this cruel fate for Zora?

2024.06.02 06:20 timewarne404 few end game questions (spoilers)

what is the solution to the poem archived in kunlun's immortal? I have all the collectibles from the grotto but I can't seem to find any thing else there and I didn't do what the poem asked of me as far as I can tell
Where am I supposed to go for the last part of Chiyou's quest?
edit: also according to my map I've fully cleared out all the collectibles in every area but I dont' have the steam achievement for it yet? Is it including stuff in the final area after the point of no return?

2024.06.02 06:03 FutureAristocrat A bounty hunter discovers a catgirl.

Logan the bounty hunter was in a really bad mood.
It all started when the coffee machine stopped working. This wasn’t a rare occurrence; in fact, it was the third time this cycle, but this time his go-to solution (taking out and reinserting the star powder battery) didn’t fix it, and he was all out of ideas.
It’s not that the caffeine even did anything for him. The nanomachines in his system filtered out many sorts of potentially addictive or harmful substances, and for some reason this included caffeine, which is a fact he only realized after the seven-cycle refund period had passed.
Still, it was an old habit and an act of comfort that he sorely felt the absence of.
That was the first thing. The second thing was that his tracker had stopped working. In fact, his entire connection to the galactic wide web (gww) had gone down. Without the tracker, he couldn’t pinpoint the exact location of his current bounty—a low-class deathworlder wanted for kidnapping and trafficking—which kind of made his whole bounty hunting business difficult to do.
Oh, and his ship had crashed.
Damn thing was overdue for maintenance, and the autopilot had started malfunctioning while flying over a small dusty-brown planet. It had taken some careful manual maneuvering and some buffeting about in the planet’s whirlwind atmosphere, but eventually he had managed the miracle of walking away from a smoking and unsalvageable wreckage with only minor cuts and bruises.
Here he was now, trudging through the sandy windswept dunes of a planet that hadn’t even showed up on the map. Armed with little more than a spacesuit, a blaster, and an undying will. And wishing he’d had that cup of coffee (and wasn’t immune to caffeine).
Logan raised a hand to his eyes, peering through the thick glass of his visor. There was so much dust and sand swirling around that it made it quite hard to see where he was going, not that there were any landmarks in sight anyway. It looked scorching hot outside, though his spacesuit registered a cool 286 Kelvin for some reason. Likely another malfunction, one that he’d rather not put to the test.
On a planet like this, he supposed, everyone (if anyone was even here) probably lived under the surface where it was probably cooler and probably free from sandstorms. All he had to do was find the entrance to their underground tunnels among all this shifting sand.
The chance of that happening was, unfortunately, not very high. Still, Logan wasn’t panicking yet; he’d been through worse, he thought. He’d been through jungles teeming with 8-foot beetles. Survived massive hiveminds circling to entrap him, faced slippery slimes that reformed their bodies to resemble those he held dearest. Horrible learning experiences, those.
That being said, sometimes it’s the mundane problems that pose the greatest threats of all. Starvation, aching thirst, and a dwindling oxygen supply while wandering a barren desert. It wouldn’t be a glamorous way to go out, and Logan was wracking his brain for ideas.
Now would’ve been a good time to use his rescue beacon, if he had one. This would be his, what, 127th bounty? And until now, he’d never had to use a beacon. Stopped carrying one a dozen bounties ago. Maybe it was just luck, but things had always gone pretty smoothly, and maybe he’d gotten a little overconfident.
Logan knelt down and grasped at the ground, watching the little grains of sand sift through his gloved fingers. Those little specks seemed to shimmer and flicker, like a low quality hologram call. Otherwise, though, they seemed normal; surprisingly similar to the sand he remembered from Earth. It made sense that some things remained the same throughout the universe; it’s not like every planet could re-invent the periodic table, after all. Even aliens had to remain grounded in reality, however loosely.
He looked down. According to his suit’s display, he had a few hours of oxygen left. He’d been walking for a while now with nothing but the sands to show for it. He also had to pee. It was really going quite terribly.
“It looks like you’re doing quite terribly,” a voice said, velvety and welcoming. Logan jerked his head up, blinking rapidly in surprise.
Standing before him, with crossed arms and a smoldering look, was a lithe, dusky-furred humanoid. They—or she, judging by the feminine face—was wearing a long, thin shawl translucent enough to reveal a pair of twitching, swiveling ears and a questioningly arced tail, swaying in the wind.
The feline features were unmistakable. It was, by all accounts, a catgirl.
Mentally, Logan pumped his arm and jumped for joy. Just wait until the guys back at Earth heard about this! Many a novice pilot first set out for the stars with dreams of catgirls and other alien babes in mind, but thus far, most alien species had been decidedly strange and eerily-shaped, though this didn’t stop everyone from pursuing them. Outwardly, though, he nodded, and rasped, “I could use some help. Do you know about this thing called ‘oxygen’?”
The catgirl frowned. “Great way to say hi to a girl. But yes, you aren’t the first traveler to crash-land on Shaw Prime. Follow me.”
“Oh, great,” Logan said. How convenient. “Where to?”
“My people live underground, hidden from the elements within a complex system of—”
“Tunnels? I knew it.”
The catgirl turned around and whipped her tail against Logan’s leg. It kind of stung for a moment. “I don’t know what culture you come from, traveler, but in mine, it’s rude to interrupt someone while they’re speaking. Especially if they’re the host and you, the guest.”
Logan rubbed the back of his head (or tried to, but the spacesuit got in the way). “Sorry. Just got excited. Interrupting someone speaking is actually considered rude in my culture, too.”
“So you should’ve known better.” The catgirl harrumphed and started marching forward, waving her tail to signal him to follow. He shrugged and started trudging along behind her.
“So where am I, exactly? ‘Shoe Prime’ you said earlier, I think?”
“Shaw Prime,” she corrected. “A small sand planet on the outermost reaches of the nearest solar system. Quite uninhabitable for most, and all our visitors arrive unwillingly.”
“I see. It certainly feels inhospitable. And,” Logan said, jumping in place a couple times, “you’ve got decently strong gravity, though less than where I come from. You know, this feels like at least a minor deathworld to me.”
“The term ‘deathworld’ is new to me, but it does seem fitting enough.”
“Right. I’m guessing the Galactic Federation hasn’t gotten around to marking your planet yet. Actually, your planet didn’t even show up on my map; people might not even know that civilization exists here. Huh.” It would be the first time for Logan to discover a new species. He could report this back home, and hopefully get handsomely rewarded for it.
“The ‘Galactic Federation’? I haven’t heard that term before. What does it mean?”
“That’s the big alliance formed by all the space-faring species of the known universe. They’re basically responsible for everything, including first official contact with new species like yours.” Logan paused a moment. “Wait, you said I’m not the first traveler to land here, right? How have you not heard of the Galactic Federation before?”
The catgirl’s ears twitched, but she didn’t look back. “They must have neglected to mention it.”
“Weird. Surely someone must’ve mentioned it. The Federation’s got these rules for first contact, see, and—”
“We’re almost there.” The catgirl interrupted, glancing back at him with those smoky eyes. “The hidden entrance to the tunnels lies just ahead.”
Logan peered through his visor. Ahead of his guide’s slim figure, he saw nothing but more of the same brown hues. A sudden uneasiness prickled his skin. “Where? I don’t see anything.”
“If you could see it, it wouldn’t be very hidden, would it? Come on.”
She beckoned him forward, and a few paces later, stopped entirely. She crouched down and scrabbled at the sand a few times, revealing a circular wooden hatch buried under a thin layer of sand. It didn’t look that heavy, but she grunted and strained to lift it up with her paws, revealing a dark cavern down inside.
“In you go,” she said, pointing her tail at the hole.
Something about this didn’t sit right with Logan. Maybe it was the way her fur stood warily on end, the way her ears shivered every so often. Maybe it was the fact that his guide didn’t know about the Galactic Federation, yet seemed familiar enough with travelers to communicate with ease. Sure his universal translator helped, but that was only supposed to work with discovered species, not ones that had yet to be contacted and researched. Or maybe it was just that he didn’t like jumping into suspiciously dark holes in the ground.
There was also the fact that the temperature gauge in his suit was now measuring a chilly 270 Kelvin. A far cry from the heat suggested by the sun-baked sands he saw.
He had a guess where this was going, and he didn’t like it, not one bit.
“Say,” he said, conversationally. “I noticed your hologram flickering earlier. Think you need some maintenance.”
“What?” The catgirl said, raising a dusky eyebrow. “I don’t know what that is. Won’t you go inside?”
“I’m just saying. It’s a convincing show and all, promise, but once you’ve been in the biz long enough, you start noticing small details like flickering sand and mismatched temps.”
“Look at you. All the heat must’ve gone to your head.” She said, sidling up to him. There was a sudden yet subtle shift in her demeanor, so quick that he almost didn’t notice. Her eyes lowered, her tongue darted out to lick her nose, and she placed one foot in front of the other gracefully, retracing her own steps perfectly. She approached him, casually curling her tail around his leg, sending tingles up his spine.
“Poor, weary traveler. It must’ve been tough, sailing through space all on your own. Won’t you come inside and rest a while?” She purred, tugging him gently towards the open hatch. “Quickly, before the sand covers it again.”
He inched a hand towards the blaster hanging at his side, unmoved by the obvious act. “Does the word ‘gelatinous’ mean anything to you?”
Her eyes locked onto his hand, her tail going stiff behind her. “Not as such, no. Why don’t we discuss this inside? After you, of course.”
“Of course. I’ll be on my way, then.”
Logan said, shoving her away, leaping back, and unholstering his blaster, all in one practiced motion. She landed softly on all fours, hissed, then sprang at him, fast as lightning. He raised an arm to block, pulling up his blaster and aiming it at her center mass. At the same time, she skidded to an abrupt halt before him, half-crouching as one hand darted past his arm without a sound.
They both froze. Logan’s blaster trained on her torso, her claws nearly piercing his neck. It seemed they were at a deadlock.
Wait, Logan thought to himself. I have a spacesuit.
His fingers itched on the trigger, but in that same instant, he heard a small tearing sound as a single claw slipped through several layers of synthetic polymers, Kevlar, and silica fiber to rest itself pointedly against the actual skin of his neck. A small hissing sound indicated the oxygen leaking from the new hole in his suit.
“That’’s a sharp knife you’ve got.” He said, feeling his mouth drying up.
“It’s not a knife,” she said smugly, though her raised fur betrayed her wariness.
“Enough of these illusions, okay? I’ve seen through ‘em. We’re not in a desert, and you’re not a catgirl. I’ve met your kind before—shape-shifting, amorphous slimes, always taking the form of something I love. Usually it’s my late wife or a dear friend, but pretending to be a catgirl is taking it too far.” He sniffed.
She hmphed, and said, “You’re only half-right, outworlder.” She let out a trilling sound, and a moment later, the world flickered out of existence.
With the veil lifted, Logan could see the world for what it really was. Gone were the tan-brown desert and the shifting sands. In their place was a world of ash. White and grey specks drifted through a sunless sky, cold and desolate. Looking down, he saw that his feet were buried ankle-deep in the stuff. So the feeling of sand had been real, sort of. He wondered what it was made of.
Dreading what he would see, he raised his eyes once more, only to see the same catgirl shivering in her shawl before him.
“This is what I actually look like,” she said, pricking her claw against his neck. “Now how about dropping that gun and sticking your hands in the air?”
“So catgirls are real.” Logan wondered aloud, feeling hope swelling in his chest.
“I… guess?” She seemed uneasy about the way he looked at her. “So about that gun—"
“What is this place?” He asked, prodding his blaster against her stomach. “I’m pretty sure it looked like a desert world from outside. Don’t tell me you have some, some kind of planet-wide hologram going on. That would be… I don’t know, prohibitively expensive, and very concerning.”
“Yes,” she said, straight-faced. “The hologram covers the whole solar system, in fact. We are at the center of a powerful criminal empire spanning the galaxy. The white ash is made from cremating the corpses of all who have dared to oppose us, and soon you will join their ranks.”
“Woah, really?” Logan said, raising an eyebrow. They must deal in trafficking, then.
“No, I lied. Although, usually that gets a bigger reaction out of outworlders. Now come on, you can surrender now or wait until my backup gets here, and then it’ll get messy. You choose.”
“I think I’ll wait for more catgirls to show up, thanks.”
She hissed. “It’s your lucky day. Here they are now, actually.”
From behind mountains of ash, they plodded forwards. All varieties of colors, from dusky to snow-white to calico, but all sporting the same unmistakable ears and tails. Logan’s heart beat with excitement, until he noticed the strange metal tubes being pointed at him from all angles.
“Ah, am I correct in assuming that those are your planet’s version of blasters?”
The catgirl retracted her claw from his neck and nodded in confirmation. “They’ll blast a big hole right through you.” She stretched her arms and yawned wide, letting herself relax now that her reinforcements were here.
Logan dropped the blaster to his side. “Well, shit.” Surrounded by armed enemies on all sides, he had no choice but to obey.
It was then that he had a really stupid idea. One that would probably get him killed, but which would be really funny if it worked.
His blaster had a laser scope that shined a visible red dot on his target when toggled on. An attached laser pointer, in other words. If these catgirls were anything like the felines he knew on Earth…
Hell, it was worth a shot.
[To be continued? Or maybe not. I didn’t know how to end this, and I felt pretty silly writing it :c]

2024.06.02 06:01 Suspicious-Window201 Need Direction: Exhaustion, Insomnia, Fatique

Hi everyone,
As the title says I don't know what to do any I desperately need help. I live in japan and Japanese is not my native language. Japan also doesn't really have PCP or GP's. I have a lovely doctor who is trying his best to help me but he's got a "Well what do you want to check" attitude and doesn't seem to understand how severe my symptoms are.
I'm 31/F, American currently living in japan. No per-existing medical conditions that we know of. Family history of hypo/hyper thyroidism and thyroid cancer I'm 165cm/100kg
I've suffered from sleep problems basically my whole life as long as I can remember. When I was in college I was prescribed trazadone to help aid the sleep. It worked perfectly for a little bit and I felt fantastic. I took it for about seven years when it stopped working last year. I switched medications and am now taking Quetiapine for sleep but it doesn't work very well. I've seen like a dozen doctors this years trying to get answers but none of them have been any help.
My most severe symptoms are:
-Insomnia without sleep aid (without a prescription sleep aid I can't sleep at all) -With prescription sleep aids I wake up throughout the night -gastrointestinal problems (chronic constipation) -severe fatigue (and when i say severe I mean head aches as soon as I wake up, brain fog, lack of coordination, no emotional regulation. When it was really bad last year I was having auditory hallucinations) -Night terrors/nightmares -Shortness of breath (I can't climb stairs without getting winded)
Less severe things that may be related but what do I know?
-Restless leg -Loss of apatite (I haven't felt hungry in a long time) -Tinnitus
I desperately need help even knowing where to start looking. I saw a sleep specialist last year who just told me that I am a woman so I am going to be tired and asked me to please learn to live with my condition. I've had about 6 blood panels done this year but I don't know which numbers are relevant and whenever I show them to my doctor he doesn't seem to have any ideas either.
Anything would be helpful. Just a point in a direction of something to try. I'm out of ideas from researching myself. I dont know what to ask my doctor to check next.

2024.06.02 06:00 HentaiTentickles Disappointed with seats. Too expensive.

I have personally brought 2 copes of tale spire (1 for me and the 2nd for a friend) and I have ZERO seats to show for it.
For me and the group of friends I have been trying (for 3 months) to get to play a campaign using tale spire with us have officially bailed. The price is way to high to convince them to play. 3 of the 4 said they would rather buy the full copy of the game at a slightly lower price point.
Now I feel all maps and plan I had for the campaign has been a waste of time.
I know I could find a new group but that is not why I brought 2 copies of this game, I wanted to get my group involved.

2024.06.02 05:59 AceTheAcefluxNB Question About a Term

I just posted this in another subreddit, but wanted to post it here too because this is the other major non-binary reddit I'm in.
Anyways, to the post.
Edit for phrasing
.
So like... This is a discussion but I debated flaring it as a rant because I have a feeling it's gonna turn more into me venting about my feelings about it (it did) but...
Am I the only one who struggles with calling their birth name a deadname?
Like... Idk how common it is but the word "deadname" just feels so uniquely charged towards the trans community that it feels wrong for me, somebody who— though I'm clearly not cis and do not go by the name I was given at birth— is definitely not trans, to use.
Like... The best way I can explain how I feel about it is to use another example, albeit one that isn't a great map.
For reference before I say this, I am autistic. I was originally tested for diagnosis but barely missed though my first therapist when I was a young child is sure I am, as has my entire family been throughout my entire life. The only reason I never got diagnosed when I was young was because I was too emotionally intelligent to meet SOCIAL requirements and they already had an explanation for my mood and sensory issues so they weren't worried about an ASD diagnosis.
I think of the word/phrase deadname a lot like I think of people saying "acoustic" instead of autistic. And by that I mean that it was something that originated within a community and was used widely by that community for a long time. It was made to make light of something within a community that needed discussion but, in the case of the word acoustic, was disallowed by the online algorithms, so people found new words. And those words were taken by people outside of the community and misused and misrepresented and twisted from the meanings and usages they were given by the people who originated the term to the point that now, in the case of Acoustic at least... It has become very uncomfortable for a lot of autistic people— myself included.
In that same vein, I feel like the word/phrase deadname is unique to the trans community and belongs to them and not me, even if what it's used for is kind of accurate to my situation— maybe even on multiple levels (as I have both very personal and emotional reasons for changing my name and reasons more relate to my identity and presentation).
For me personally, saying that something is my deadname feels like a sleight to the trans community not because I'm using it inaccurately but because I, somebody of the outgroup relative the people who cultivated the term and to whom it refers most often (like acoustic and the autistic community), am using it. It's why I let many of my trans friends refer to it as my deadname even though I refuse to myself and often even mention how uncomfortable the fact that "deadname" is accurate to what it is makes me.
Idk.
The point of this is all to ask you guys what you think and if calling a name you were born into but no longer use your deadname is as uncomfortable for you as doing so is for me, and why it is or isn't.
Please feel free to leave a comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings on this. It's something I've debated with myself many times and figured, "well, who better to ask if it's a commonality than the community to whom I belong wherein this could be a common point of anxiety, fear, or otherwise negative emotion?"

2024.06.02 05:57 Objective-Tale-8069 Bachelorette trip with my girlfriends had some drama. My one gf (34F) aired out everything to my other girlfriends that I (34F) said to her during an emotional vent. I don’t know what to think of my friendshipS now.

I (34F) recently had my bachelorette trip away. I've been looking forward to My maid of honour (34F) knew that I wanted a warm and sunny bachelorette. She had my list of friends I wanted to come and those were my only real requests.
She procrastinated planning it for quite some time (months) and then finally had it planned for May of this year. She said I didn't need my passport which was disappointing because I had mentioned I wanted to go somewhere out of country. We live in Canada and it's not warm and sunny here until late June/early July.
I had to pack everything from rain gear, fancy outfits, athletic wear and multiple shoe options. No bikini.
The first stop of the trip was at a lake hike. Within a few minutes of beginning our hike, the path turned in to complete coverage of ice and snow. Slippery and cold. I have knee issues (previous major knee reconstructive surgery) and I can't walk on any kind of slippery surface like that. Within a few minutes I had to call it quits. Everyone else looked so disappointed. Me, being the people pleaser that I am said for them to continue the hike if anyone wanted to. I would head down to the lake. My MOH asked me a few times if I was sure... and I said yes because 1- I didn't want to ruin the moment and 2- I felt bad. Looking back on this now I wish I wasn't put in this position to begin with being the bride. If it was someone else's party no big deal. But this is supposed to be for me.
I kept a positive attitude and made the best of it. We carried on to the house. The girls made it so special and great. I was settled in and having the best time!
The next day we had a fun activity planned that's been on my bucket list so I was looking forward to it!
After halfway through our activity my Mom and Aunty surprised me. My MOH had coordinated this surprise and it was quite sweet. I was a bit thrown off though because I definitely made a point to say that I only wanted it to be my girlfriends...
All was good. We carried along and had fun. The girls and I went for appies and drinks and then we went back to the house to meet up with my Mom and Aunt. Everyone was having drinks and getting in the fun mood to go out.
My MOH also made a few remarks over the weekend about my other girlfriends that didn't sit the best with me and weren't necessary to say to me. Things like "I didn't realize your friendship was like that with so and so" or "why do they other girls not wait for us like we should all be together". We had two separate vehicles so there wasnt complete being in sync every minute. Which I wasn't super bothered by. My MOH also buddied up to one friend (34F) the whole weekend and I felt like they were kind of in there own bubble the whole time which was a bit annoying.
That night we all went out. My Mom ended up getting way too drunk and kind of ruined the mood of us at the bar hop. I was upset and my friends tried to lift me up but I was also stewing inside because I didn't have my Mom on the list.
We ended up going home late and my one gf (34F) and I were walking a bit behind the group and once we caught up they all (including my MOH) were on bikes programming them. I asked if there were bikes for us and they said oh I guess not and kept programming there bikes. I was really upset. My feet were sore. My knee was hurting. I was super emotional about my Mom and her drunken state and now I was pissed because my friend and I had to walk back (20 minutes uphill in the cold windy weather).
I broke down on the walk back and cried. Saying I was so upset, who plans a bachelorette in May when it's cold and that I was pissed at everyone and that I had bitten my tongue a few times about a few different things. Clearly emotional and spouting off a bit more than I should have. We got back and I locked my door and went to bed. I knew I didn't want to talk to anyone and I was so upset I just wanted to sleep.
That night my gf (34F) who I walked home with and vented to, ended up telling my MOH and girlfriends everything I had said. I felt awful. I also felt really betrayed that she told everyone everything I said in that emotional moment... I feel like I can't trust her at all now. I apologized to all my girlfriends and explained why i was feeling ways that i was and all of them seemed to understand and accepted my apology and we moved forward. My MOH took it really personally, got defensive and became really emotional about it all.
I feel like I cant trust my one gf who aired it all out anymore and don't even want to say anything to her again.
I don't really know where to go from here right now. My MOH said she should've just let me plan my own trip. I thanked her for everything and explained why I felt a few certain ways but that so many aspects of the trip were amazing and that I was so grateful for everything. She kind of just pushed that away. She said she wants to just move forward and that our friendship foundation is strong... but I don't love how she became so defensive and disregarding of my feelings.
I'm in a great place with my Mom aunt and other girlfriends. We're all adults and we were able to talk about everything and move forward in a sincere way.
I feel really lost about my friendship with my MOH and the gf who aired it all out. These were the two who also buddied up to eachother the whole weekend quite obvious and exclusive.
TL;DR Bachelorette didn't go quite as smoothly as I hoped, I became emotional and friend vented out my feelings.

2024.06.02 05:54 AceTheAcefluxNB Question about a term

So like... This is a question but I flaired it as a vent because I have a feeling it's gonna turn more into me venting about my feelings about it but...
Edit: it did lol.
Am I the only one who struggles with calling their birth name a deadname?
Like... Idk how common it is but the word "deadname" just feels so uniquely charged towards the trans community that it feels wrong for me, somebody who— though I'm clearly not cis and do not go by the name I was given at birth— is definitely not trans, to use.
Like... The best way I can explain how I feel about it is to use another example, albeit one that isn't a great map.
For reference before I say this, I am autistic. I was originally tested for diagnosis but barely missed though my first therapist when I was a young child is sure I am, as has my entire family been throughout my entire life. The only reason I never got diagnosed when I was young was because I was too emotionally intelligent to meet SOCIAL requirements and they already had an explanation for my mood and sensory issues so they weren't worried about an ASD diagnosis.
I think of the word/phrase deadname a lot like I think of people saying "acoustic" instead of autistic. And by that I mean that it was something that originated within a community and was used widely by that community for a long time. It was made to make light of something within a community that needed discussion but, in the case of the word acoustic, was disallowed by the online algorithms, so people found new words. And those words were taken by people outside of the community and misused and misrepresented and twisted from the meanings and usages they were given by the people who originated the term to the point that now, in the case of Acoustic at least... It has become very uncomfortable for a lot of autistic people— myself included.
In that same vein, I feel like the word/phrase deadname is unique to the trans community and belongs to them and not me, even if what it's used for is kind of accurate to my situation— maybe even on multiple levels (as I have both very personal and emotional reasons for changing my name and reasons more relate to my identity and presentation).
For me personally, saying that something is my deadname feels like a sleight to the trans community not because I'm using it inaccurately but because I, somebody of the outgroup relative the people who cultivated the term and to whom it refers most often (like acoustic and the autistic community), am using it. It's why I let many of my trans friends refer to it as my deadname even though I refuse to myself and often even mention how uncomfortable the fact that "deadname" is accurate to what it is makes me.
Idk.
The point of this is all to ask you guys what you think and if calling a name you were born into but no longer use your deadname is as uncomfortable for you as doing so is for me, and why it is or isn't.
Please feel free to leave a comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings on this. It's something I've debated with myself many times and figured, "well, who better to ask if it's a commonality than the community to whom I belong wherein this could be a common point of anxiety, fear, or otherwise negative emotion?"

🔗Royal 100Cx Portable Battery/AC Powered Cash Register - Black

https://preview.redd.it/xd1123gvy24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d9ddc0b45216a595affd57d995688acd6bd1270
Once upon a time, I decided to set up a small business selling handmade crafts at local markets. I needed a cash register to keep track of sales and manage taxes, so I got my hands on the Royal 100Cx portable cash register. Boy, was I glad I did! This bad boy has helped me run my business smoothly and efficiently.
The first thing that struck me was the convenience of having both battery and AC power options. It's perfect for when I'm out and about selling my crafts or even back at home. The compact design is also a winner; it doesn't hog up much space on my market stall.
But, it's not all sunshine and rainbows with this cash register. The setup can be a little confusing at first, especially when trying to figure out which buttons do what. And you really need to use at least one department key for it to work properly - something that caught me off guard.
Despite these hiccups, I couldn't be happier with my Royal 100Cx cash register. It helps me keep tabs on my sales, computes taxes automatically, and even provides detailed department reporting. Plus, it's solidly built and has held up well through countless transactions. All in all, it's been a trusty companion in my small business journey.
However, there are some cons that I need to address. Some users have reported issues with missing parts and unhelpful customer service, which can be quite frustrating. Additionally, the manual has been described as difficult to navigate.
To sum up, the Royal 100Cx portable cash register might not be perfect, but it gets the job done. It's a reliable ally for small businesses or casual vendors who need a no-fuss solution for managing sales and taxes. Just be prepared to dive into the quirks and quirks of setting it up yourself.

🔗Royal 6000ML Black Cash Register with 6000 PLUs

https://preview.redd.it/8pbtopwvy24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f697886b25aa3276b393bb3fbac753bedfc34e6

I recently got the chance to use the Royal 6000ML Cash Register, and I must say, it's quite the workhorse. This compact cash register is designed to streamline register operations, helping businesses run smoothly and accurately.
One feature that really stood out is its ability to handle up to 6,000 price look-ups (PLUs). I frequently found myself selling items that were part of our standard inventory, and this made entering those items quick and easy. Additionally, the registers 36 departments for sales analysis by category allowed me to track sales trends, giving me valuable insight into what's selling and what's not.
On the downside, though, the instructions could be better. While the programming itself is not too complicated once you get the hang of it, the manual could be more intuitive. Also, the 10-slot cash drawer felt a bit too large for a small business.
Overall, the Royal 6000ML Cash Register is a decent piece of equipment, but it may not be the best choice for everyone. If your business requires a lot of SKUs and you need a quick and easy way to input data, this could be a good fit. However, if you're looking for something with a more intuitive user interface, you might want to look elsewhere.

🔗Classic Retro Cash Register Toy

https://preview.redd.it/iqysfm8wy24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3e80edf786e85ebaf99da6cb21409a0e1aa3496
I recently got my hands on the New Classic Toys 10650 Cash Register and let me tell you, it's been a hit in my household! My little one loves playing shop and this colorful cash register has been a key ingredient in her imaginative play.
The first thing that caught my eye was its vibrant design - it's not your usual boring plastic toy. The cash register comes with some fun extras like a scanner, credit card, portable ATM, eight coins, and some paper money which have kept my child engaged for hours.
One of the standout features for me was how it encourages creativity and hand-eye coordination skills. Seeing her role play with this toy has truly been a joy. Plus, it's suitable for kids aged 3 and up, making it perfect for many years of play.
However, one small downside is the size of the product. It's not very big, especially if you have multiple kids playing together or if you want to store other toys along with it. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall quality and fun factor of the New Classic Toys 10650 Cash Register more than make up for it.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a toy that not only entertains but also helps develop cognitive skills in young children, then the New Classic Toys 10650 Cash Register is definitely worth considering.

🔗Royal MB30 Heavy-duty Metal Cash Drawer with USB Connection

https://preview.redd.it/7z9tsvlwy24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df232b60fe09669cfd07bb7c6de1b32df6054227
As a cashier at a bustling retail store, I've had the pleasure of using the Royal MB30 Cash Drawer with USB. Its heavy-duty metal construction immediately caught my eye, providing me with the peace of mind that comes with knowing my cash is safely tucked away. The spring-loaded easy glide drawer slid open smoothly every time, making it a breeze to retrieve change for customers.
One feature that really stood out to me was the drawer lock with two keys. Not only does it keep my hard-earned cash secure, but it also gives me an extra layer of control over the drawer. Plus, there's an emergency release tab on the front, offering me an easy way to open the drawer if needed.
However, there was one small issue I encountered with this cash drawer. The removable coin slot was a bit too loose for my liking. While it was easy to adjust the size of the slots for different coins, they didn't always stay perfectly in place. This wasn't a deal-breaker for me, though, as the benefits of this cash drawer far outweighed this minor inconvenience.
Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed using the Royal MB30 Cash Drawer with USB in my daily work routine. Its robust construction, easy-to-use features, and compatibility with various POS systems have made it a reliable asset in my cash handling tasks. I'd highly recommend this cash drawer to anyone in need of a secure, efficient solution for their retail or restaurant business.

🔗Royal Alpha 7000ml Cash Register

https://preview.redd.it/pnhvy63xy24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc6e2b59f1c03688f80949db72a10035bf25174b
As a small business owner, I've been using the Royal Alpha 7000ml Cash Register for several weeks now, and it's been quite the rollercoaster ride. The dual thermal printers are incredibly fast and quiet, making the transaction process smoother and less chaotic. Plus, the running journal alongside the receipt printer has been an unexpected lifesaver in keeping track of sales.
The large 10-line LCD display and alphanumeric keyboard are a breeze to navigate, making it a snap to program and customize the register to fit my specific needs. However, the SD card slot for data transfers was a game-changer for efficient accounting.
On the downside, the instruction manual for programming was quite lacking in detail, leaving me to figure out a lot on my own. They should have made instructions more clear and comprehensive, especially for first-time users. Also, the "no sale" button was non-functional, which was quite frustrating.
However, overall, the Royal Alpha 7000ml Cash Register has proven to be sufficient for my small cafeteria-style restaurant. The balance of features and minor inconveniences make it a good choice, but the learning curve can be steep for first-time users.

2024.06.02 05:49 Papa_Hasbro69 Update to my previous post. There is something really wrong with not only my cards but my local game store as well.

I'll never forget the day I stumbled upon that small, quiet town in the rural areas of California. I was driving through Route 66 on my way home from a trip. I had a sudden urge to look for a new place to play some Magic the Gathering. I had just gotten my hands on the latest sets, Outlaws of Thunder Junction and Fallout, and I was itching to get into some Friday Night Magic. As I pulled into the town, I noticed a small sign that read “Desert Cards and Collectibles" with an arrow pointing down the street. My heart racing, I followed the sign and found myself in front of a small, unassuming building with a faded sign that read "Magic VML League Tournaments Here".
I walked in, and at first, it seemed like any other game store. The shelves were stocked with the latest sets, and there were a few other players scattered around the tables, playing draft and commander games. I introduced myself to the store owner, a friendly blue haired balding guy named Jake, and he showed me around the store. He wore a tag that said “pan/pandaself” which I didn’t know what it meant but he seemed nice enough. We chatted about Magic for a bit, and I was impressed by the selection of cards and the knowledge of the regular players there. Over the next few weeks, I became a regular at the store, playing in draft tournaments and commander games with the other players. I even won a few prizes, including some rare booster packs from the early days of Magic such as “Alliances” or “Stronghold”. They were equally as impressed when I showed them my complete set of Arabian Nights I acquired a few weeks earlier.
But things started to get weird when I tried to tell my family and friends about the cool new store I discovered. They had never heard of it, and none of them knew where it was. I was starting to get worried that I was going crazy, so I decided to check it out online. I looked up the store on Google Maps, but it wasn't listed. Thinking it must be a new store that Google hadn't updated yet, I shrugged it off and continued to play at the store.
But then I saw something that made my blood run cold. On Google Street View, I saw that the building where the store was supposed to be was actually an old abandoned building. It was just a desolate old place even with crumbling headstones and overgrown weeds. The street view was dated only a few weeks ago, so I knew it wasn't an old photo or anything. I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized that something was very wrong.
Despite my growing unease, I continued to play at the store. But things only got stranger from there. Sometimes when I played games with my opponents, pieces of their body would simply crumble off but when I blink my eye, they are back to normal again. Whenever I went home, some of the booster packs I won from events would be missing, even though I knew I had won them fair and square. And my cards in my commander deck would be covered in dirt and dust, even though I had cleaned the sleeves off before leaving for the store. It was as if someone - or something - was manipulating my cards and hiding them from me.
One day, as I was packing up my deck to leave, I noticed something that made my heart skip a beat. Jake, the store owner, was standing behind me, his eyes black as coal. He smiled at me, and his face began to twist into a grotesque grin. Then his skin began to molt off and all that remained was bones. Suddenly, I realized that I wasn't playing Magic with other players - I was playing alone with some malevolent entity that was toying with me.
I turned around and ran out of the store as fast as I could. As I drove away from the town, I looked back in my rearview mirror and saw Jake standing in the doorway of the store, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. I knew then that this lgs never existed in this world - it was a trap set by some malevolent force to lure unsuspecting players into its clutches. I was lucky enough to realize it before it sucked me in.
I'm writing this account as a warning to anyone who thinks they might find a hidden gem of a game store in some rural town in California. If you think there's a store there, it might not actually exist. And if you do find it... be careful what you're getting yourself into.
Don't play Magic with skeletons in an abandoned graveyard.
Don't trust random signs in the California desert.
And don't ever go to LGSes that no one else has ever heard of
Trust me on this one.

I think it would be helpful if grid coordinates could also be seen on the main player screen. Like a UI setting that could be toggled on/off that would show “D3” or “F9” in the top right next to the clock, so that we can see which grid block we’re currently in without having to open the map.

FAQ

What are 1911 Tritium Sights?

1911 Tritium Sights are aftermarket sights designed for use on 1911 pistols. They incorporate tritium, a self-luminous substance, in their design to provide a visible aiming point in low light conditions.

How do Tritium Sights work?

https://preview.redd.it/4fz90hv9x24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8be79f3675b4f0d519803bd143cb91b26fec5ffb
Tritium Sights contain small glass capsules filled with tritium gas. When this gas decays, it emits a soft, non-visible light. The sights are designed to channel this light into a visible aiming point, making them useful for low light shooting.

Why would someone want to install 1911 Tritium Sights?

The tritium in these sights has a half-life of approximately 12 years. This means that the amount of visible tritium light will gradually decrease over time, but the sights will remain functional for much longer.

Can 1911 Tritium Sights be used with night vision devices?

Most 1911 Tritium Sights are not suitable for use with night vision devices. Their soft glow is designed for human eyes to detect, not for amplification by night vision technology. Therefore, they are typically considered incompatible with night vision systems.

2024.06.02 05:38 RealZiobbe I graduated yesterday and near-strangers are more supportive than my parents

Yesterday, I had my graduation ceremony. After years of university with absolutely no help besides occasional rides to the bus stop and, very rarely, to campus, I finally graduated. Here's what my parents have done in the lead-up to graduation and the day after instead of supporting me.
My parents spent months leading up to the graduation freaking out about how I'll get a job, trying to control my hair and clothing (even implying I'm ugly when I choose my own hair and clothing), harassing me to hand out business cards to everyone I meet (especially if the situation would be an immense faux pas), grilling me on if my grades are good, lecturing me relentlessly about how I need to keep in contact with people in my class and it's soooo important and would I like to hear about how my dad got a job through nepotism for the eightieth time, asking me questions they already know the answers to (Yes, I'm still talking to my former classmates. Yes, I know that you worked in the Yukon when you were 18. Yes, I know about your friend who worked in a weather station. Yes, I know you had to move to find a job in the 1980s. Yes, I am aware that it is a possibility I might have to move too. Yes, I know that it's okay to invite people over to the house, you've only "informed" me about a hundred times. Yes, I know that school is important.) Every single thing that they "inform" me about is something I have very clearly expressed that I understand, and is just thinly veiled criticism. But my dad needs to lecture more than he needs oxygen.
Just constant nitpicking, criticism, and nothing I ever did was enough. I couldn't even focus on grades, because they would in their own words "put pressure on" me to do what they wanted. To handle their emotions for them. They're obsessed with the idea that I would have to move to a tiny town or work in a coal mine to find a job, because I'm more highly educated than my dad (who dropped out of university despite having all expenses paid by his father), and because my dad worked in the Yukon for two summers. He will never shut up about that, and he even goes so far as to hold us hostage with implicit threat of a massive tantrum to listen to him tell us the story again and again and again and to show us pictures of the place he worked on Google maps and point to everything he remembers. Sometimes he can go on for half an hour just repeating himself over and over.
Last summer, my parents even went and took action without my knowledge or approval to try and get a job set up for me cleaning up a mine contaminated with arsenic in the middle of nowhere, NWT. They tried to guilt and shame me into it ("What are your plans instead? Do you have another job lined up? Because you need to have a job. You can't sit around all day." This coming almost literally one week into summer vacation after my second-last year of university, when I could be using my energy to find interesting co-ops or explore hobbies or travel, instead dealing with their harassment and obsession with trying to literally trap me in a fucking arsenic mine.) They went on and on, lectured me over and over, implied that I would be embarrassing my grandfather if I didn't go, and so on. Eventually they said "You can go work or get a certification", and I picked the certification, but then they got grumpy anyways, and every week for the entire summer they would ask "Are you still working on the certification?". Of course, dipsh*t. I've told you fifty times how long the program lasts.
They don't care about what I'm learning in class, don't care about my hobbies or interests, only care about my friends as either a means to get backdoored into a job or a "nice French Canadian woman" to have babies with. They don't care if I'm struggling, and are completely unavailable to help in any regard. Any request for help would result in a guilt trip. Even if I actually couldn't eat dinner with the family for one day because I had a test, my father would get raw emotions and I'd have to walk on eggshells for a few days. The one time I mentioned I was having trouble studying, instead of shutting up and no longer ranting in the main floor where I could hear him or turning the TV off, he just dragged a table into the unfurnished boiler room (without asking me) and then told me that I would have to study there. I wasn't allowed to choose not to, because he'd already set it up. Ironically, my anger at him did let me study pretty well for the one day that I was forced there. He tried to keep me there long-term because he thought it was just such a great idea, but I managed to trick him into thinking I didn't need help studying anymore, so I got to study at a desk with a light on it and flooring that wasn't bare cement. Hooray for the most minor victory imaginable.
In the months leading up to graduation, did they care about how hard I was working at my capstone project and offer support? Absolutely not! Did they care about how well my sleep quality was, how many times the cat woke me up because they didn't play with her enough or give her enough attention? Nope! Did they care about how exhausting it was to deal with their constant lectures on the same topics, and to have to give them affirmations ("Yes, you're right, that's right, good job, nice, very tasty, good work, oh really?, neat, that's cool, how'd you make that?, mhm, I agree, you're being reasonable, they're being ridiculous, that's crazy") a hundred times a day? Not even in the slightest!
We spend more time talking about my dad's college friends than about anything I or my brother care about.
Then, leading up to graduation. all I've gotten are the most humiliating, infuriating, insulting messages and lectures from my parents. I get almost daily emails and texts saying "You need to get a job, it's important to look for a job" despite the fact I've told them I am looking probably fifty times. Too cowardly to say it to my face. I've been texted literal links to a Google search for "[degree name] jobs [city]" more than once. Both my parents treat me like I don't listen, when I do. They treat me like I'm lazy, when I've put myself through university with no help even after they lied to me about giving me financial aid and made me out to be a bully demanding more money when all I did was say "alright" and then pay for it myself. They must have sternly given me a talking to about how "I'm not going to pay for university, you know that, right? You need to pay. Don't expect us to pay. Because we paid for your first semesters, you know that, right? We've already paid for enough." thirty times, even after I'd made the final payment. They treat me like I'm stupid when I have expressed understanding before. They treat me like I'm a bully while I always bend over backwards for them, just because I don't play my role as "surrogate mommy but this time I get to tell her what to do" well enough.
It feels like they're almost raising me into a replacement or surrogate parent. Like my dad wants me to be his mom or dad, except this time he gets to be in charge. And my mom wants me to be her mom, except this time when she freaks out or has her deer in headlights look, she'll get someone to step up and take care of everything for her. I distinctly remember having to comfort her even for things she did to me, like tell me that a pair of comfortable shoes I picked out was good and she'd get them, and then immediately scream "take it out, take it out!" after it was scanned at the register. I could not have been older than twelve. And for my dad, he always rants and raves to me exactly like he does to his parents, except without including blame for them sending him to boarding school and instead having tons of old "life updates" like where he worked when he was 18 and what music he liked to listen to in high school, stuff like that. Then he expects me to praise him or be interested like his parents never were (he always tells me that his parents only cared about his car when they called).
So now I graduated. All they had to say in the days coming up to it was to grill me on the time I'd have to be at the venue and the time I was planning to leave the house to get there on time, with a distinct air of "you're too lazy to think of this in advance and too stupid to figure it out without a plan". Of course, I had to answer this question probably five times, because they don't care to ever listen to me. Before the ceremony I got text messages showing they were way more excited about themselves being here than anything relating to me, with multiple messages expressing how they arrived and it was exciting, then they asked me how the atmosphere was and their only reply was a one-word "nice" with no punctuation, because they don't care about me and only ask droll questions to segue into their next bit.
After grad, there was two generic sentences spoken with no emotion about how it was nice I graduated, and then they made a whole song and dance about the amazing gifts they got me. It was a degree frame I picked out myself that my dad presented as new and exciting (because he never pays attention to me, of course, when I told him I had picked one out and ordered it with my mother. Also she had another freakout about price and acted like I was holding her hostage by taking her unforced offer to buy me the second-cheapest degree frame on offer.). Then he presented the free gift small frame they got with it as though I should praise him for it, then a congratulation card that was alright I suppose if only because my brother drew a little creature in it that made me smile (my parents did not add anything special or meaningful to it). There was also a cap, which I genuinely enjoy and is nice, and a cheap ballpoint pen for some reason. He said there was more gifts at home, which okay, I don't care about gifts but I'd like him to at least be as excited for my graduation as he was for the picture frame. I didn't get any souvenirs from the bookstore because I knew if I got something he'd also gotten he'd freak out and accuse me of not listening to him or whatever, so I waited. When I got home my gift was Skittles. I don't know why I thought me might have gone to the bookstore and gotten me something special related to my actual interests. He doesn't care to know what those are anyways. I guess I hoped that at least this one day would be different.
Today, the day after graduation, all I've gotten from my parents is:
- Involved in a lecture and manufactured drama about my brother not using my car to drive to his job, even though my dad had the exact opposite position the entire rest of the year, because "what if you need to drive somewhere?", trying to manufacture a fight between my brother and me while also guilting and shaming me for not driving as a hobby like he does.
- A text message from my mother asking me if I'm awake because she wants more ammo to paint me as lazy. Nevermind that I barely slept the night before to make it to grad (of course neither of my parents would care enough about me to come with me as a family. I was literally the only person I saw who went on my own and without their family showing up early too, to support them. I walked past so many families in the parking lot knowing my mother couldn't be bothered to change out of her pajamas for me.) Nevermind I had a huge day that day, and that I was taking care of the cat's energy all that night too because attending my grad is apparently soooo draining my parents can't look after their own pet, and somehow it falls to me. All that matters is she woke up early and I didn't (after I handled all her inconveniences for her, funny how that works).
- Rapid knocks on my door because my dad is making bread as a hobby and apparently "needs" me there to help him with it, and then also "needed" me to stay and make cookies with him.
- A lecture about someone I never knew who apparently once threw something at another kid on my street when I was about 5, and about how he died and how his wife's hobby was really expensive or whatever and if I really don't remember him?
- I went to a showhome for fun and brought back the brochure. My dad jabbed his finger at the pictures on it to explain the house to me like I wasn't the one who literally brought the brochure back. Never asked if I cared or anything, just immediate launch into lecture and expecting me to stay and listen and praise him for being so smart or whatever.
- A lecture about D Day for some fucking reason. My dad is obsessed with history, and he doesn't have any friends to talk to (wonder why) so his lectures always fall on my ears.
- An email from my mother explaining in an extremely condescending way how important it is to have a cover letter when applying for jobs (just completely assuming I don't write them and also am too lazy or stupid to think about having them) including copy-pasted text from a sample cover letter that is no doubt one of the first results on google for "cover letter example"
- An angry email from my mother including a job she found on google
But, contrast that to my neighbors across the street. I was friends them in grade school, haven't seen them in like ten years, and just on my way past to the showhome we said hi and chatted in a genuinely nice conversation that wasn't a one-sided lecture like usual in my house. They could sense my emotions and didn't try to keep me there longer than I wanted to rant, they were genuinely interested in me and gave me space and interest to express myself, their mother even hugged me for graduating and it was the most genuine hug and congratulations I've ever received in person. Every other hug was my family members forcing me to hug them for their own sole benefit. I admit I cried a bit later on my walk thinking about it.
Compared to my parents, the parents of old friends care more about me, trust me more, believe in me more, have more hope for my future, are more interested in me, and understand me better. It's tremendously sad that all throughout my graduation ceremony I was worried about my parents becoming upset for some random reason and blowing up at me. I'm glad I at least focused and made myself feel some pride and joy in myself for graduating.
Even the random people I met who were also taking part in the open house were nicer and better conversationalists than my parents. A random elderly couple I have never seen in my life can have a better interaction with me than my own parents. The realtor was more chill and less perfectionistic than my parents by a mile. His million-dollar house sale was something he was less stressed and perfectionistic about and something he beat himself up over less than my parents are about my hairstyle when I'm going to class because "What if you meet someone in industry and they see you're not professional".
It's absurd.

2024.06.02 05:30 immranderson Can't find Chiyou anymore?

Hey! I had trouble beating the 2nd boss, but had gotten the necessary abilities to progress in a different direction. I figured I'd explore around the map and get some more currency to purchase items from Chiyou. While exploring, I ran into him waiting in front of a bridge? Chiyou mentions that he's looking for his brother, and that he also hopes that I can reopen the bridge for him to cross. Of course, now that I ran into him there, he's no longer in the first 2 areas he spawned for me to purchase upgrades at. I also forgot where exactly he is, so I've been running around the map hoping to stumble upon him and spend the 8000 gold I've accumulated while searching for him... Could someone point out exactly where his third spawn point is so I can spend my hard earned cash? My most recent upgrade was the mid-air dash, and I'm uncertain if that was a prerequisite to get to him...
