Few days ago they had me change my password, no big deal bada bing. Few hours later it has me re-sign in and put my password. Cool. I’m hit with a verify. The verify only has my phone number as an option. I got the code sent to my phone once maybe twice, but my Wi-Fi connection had a spike of some sort and it would just tell me to try again later after I entered the code. I try again an hour or so later and all of a sudden I’m not receiving the verification codes to enter. Checked my phone and nothings blocked, put in an account recovery form twice. Even spent a whole day trying to get ahold of Xbox support which is damn near impossible. Still can’t get ahold of a real person. I have 10,000’s of hours and money spent since I was of a young age. I’ve tried and thought of everything my brain can muster and starting to feel like my account was stolen from me from the very company that gave it to me. I’m being punished for not setting up several verification methods essentially. I can sign in with email and even by putting my phone number in, asks for password put that in and it works, it’s right after I actually go to sign in it’s like hold on bucko u have to get a text message from a phone number I entered when I was 12.

I'm looking for a mod where it adds blocks that are unbreakable against mobs for 1.12.2. The main reason I want to make a zoo. Does anyone know of mods that exist?

I've got a 2015 Chevy spark LT. I used to have 2 500w rms 12" subs with a 800w RMS mono block. I never had a bass knob with it and it ended up being too much. After blowing one and sending a screwdriver through the other, alcohol was involved on that one, I'm looking for a new setup, box, sub(s), and amp. Rn I've got it wired with 4ga. I think two twelves was too much for such a tiny car but it seems to me that 10's or 8's hit different than 12's so I'd like to stay with one maybe two. RMS no more than 1500w total. Budget no more than a g. Any thoughts or ideas.

Happy Sunday y'all. Cleaning out a few things.
   
Del-ton 16” Upper w/ Midwest Industries 12” Quad Rail - $275
https://imgur.com/a/6M8pUum
This was my first AR upper- I swapped out the FSB for a YHM gas block, and put a MI 12" Quad rail on it. Del-ton upper, CH, and BCG. Not sure barrel make. It’s pretty salty, lotsa larping, 3 gun runs, maybe 750-1000 rounds on this. A2 Birdcage is hand tightened right now, will need to retorqued/threadlocked. The rail covers are included- the long 4 are P&S, the short 4 are KAC, unless someone wants to part them out first. Also comes with the MI wrench tool for the barrel nut. In my infinite wisdom, I did file a couple of the pic rail segments flat so the rail covers would grip. You’ll see in the last pic.
   
Sig Romeo5 Red Dot with all mounts, missing covers $80

This is an anonymous account because my ex uses Reddit and knows my main account.
We broke up nearly a month ago. We were together for nearly a year, and just a few days from now is what would have been our anniversary. We were interested in each other for a bit over a year though.
She called me and told me she wanted to break up. I didn’t know how this could possibly happen… I thought I was doing everything as good as I possibly could. We talked to each other all the time about how much we meant to each other. She told me she loves me, and I loved her more than anything. I know it sounds hyperbolic, but these last nearly 12 months made me happier than I had ever been in my entire life. We talked all the time about what we wanted to do once we were both done with college, where we wanted to live together, if we were going to get married one day, what pets we wanted together, and the life we wanted for each other. I wanted that life more than anything. Everything she did was perfect to me. And even though I struggled to find the right words to tell her, I always tried to make her feel loved. I never drank or used any drug. I was always understanding and nice. If she asked for anything, I’d always do what I could to do anything she asked. I did the best I could without any expectation of anything in return, and I was truly content and happy. I wanted to marry this girl, I wanted to spend my life with her, and I really thought she felt the same…
She broke up with me over a phone call. I begged and pleaded and wondered why she would do this. She said it’s just something she needs to do. We talk over the phone, I’m bawling harder than I’ve ever cried to my memory. She’s crying too. She and I agree to stay friends, and that we’d both support each other.
The next day passes. I feel powerless and I’m still hurt and confused. She texts me, and she says she’s feeling the worst pain she’s ever felt. She can’t eat or sleep, and all she wants is to be with me, but she knows she can’t. She explains that she feels like her stresses have built up and she feels like they’re impacting her feelings in the relationship. I understand, this past year has been very hard on her. She says she’s ok with being friends, but more than anything she wants to be in a relationship again one day with me, and that she loves me still. It puts my heart at ease. We’re still there for each other, but does she understand or try to think about how I must feel? I’m heartbroken and in more pain than I thought I’d ever feel. The next days pass and she’s talking about getting to go to the movies and hang out with friends and stuff, and while I’m happy, I’m hurt because I don’t have many friends right now and I don’t have a whole group of people to hang out with often. She seems happier though, which makes me glad.
A few days pass and I ask how she’s doing. She says she’s fine, completely fine in fact. I tell her I still don’t know how to feel. I tell her I’m happy we can still talk but I’m afraid of not getting the chance to be with her again. She says it may never happen. Stupidly, I ask if she still cares for me like she did. She says no. I’m crushed. She says she still cares about me but she’s no longer in love with me at all. I brought up how she said she loved me, and I questioned how she could change her mind after only a few days. She says she doesn’t know, and that this happens all the time on her relationships. She’s fully in love, and then she just… stops feeling. I felt horrible, and I confronted her about it. She then yelled at me, talking still about her problems sleeping, before threatening to block me and saying that me acting like she was my everything was “souring” what we had. But… she was my everything. What she said broke me. I told her I needed a week to myself and she said she respects that. During my week away, she apologized. It was a good apology at least. After the week, I came back and told her I’m feeling better, and it seems like she’s doing a lot better too. I lied to her. I got better at masking the pain, but I still feel it all day. I can’t get over it…. She sees us as friends and messages me and sends pictures of her outfits. I want to tell her the truth. I want to tell her she’s the most gorgeous and beautiful girl I’ve ever known. I want her to know that I still love her more than anything, even if she doesn’t love me back. And it may be selfish, but I just want to know everything is going to be okay. I want her to tell me that. I want the girl I love, who loved me, to come back. But I just can’t tell her.
Maybe we’ll be together again. Maybe we won’t. Hopefully I’ll heal. Until then, I don’t feel like I’m alive right now. I just feel like I’m existing and passing the days with no meaning. I can’t stand the feeling of being so in love with someone who I know doesn’t care about me or love me anymore. I just want to be loved again

In the quest for an effective weight loss solution, the market offers a plethora of options, each claiming to be the best. PhenQ diet pills caught my attention due to their popularity and positive reviews. Eager to find a natural way to burn fat, I decided to test PhenQ myself. Here’s a detailed account of my journey and results.
PhenQ is a thermogenic weight loss supplement, which means it helps increase your body's temperature to boost your metabolism and burn more calories.

What is PhenQ?

PhenQ is a dietary supplement designed to aid weight loss by combining multiple benefits into one pill. It aims to:

• Burn stored fat
• Suppress appetite
• Block fat production
• Boost energy
• Improve mood

PhenQ’s formulation includes natural ingredients like α-Lacys Reset, Capsimax Powder, Chromium Picolinate, Caffeine, Nopal, and L-Carnitine Fumarate, each contributing to its overall effectiveness.

Starting Point: My Weight Loss Journey Begins

Before starting PhenQ, I documented my weight and measurements to track progress accurately. At the outset, I weighed 180 pounds with a body mass index (BMI) of 28, categorizing me as overweight. My goal was to lose 20 pounds and achieve a healthier BMI.

The First Month: Adjusting to PhenQ

Week 1

The initial week was about getting accustomed to PhenQ. I took one pill with breakfast and another with lunch, as recommended. Notable changes included a slight boost in energy and a reduced appetite, which helped me cut down on snacking.

Week 2

By the second week, I noticed a more consistent energy level throughout the day. My workouts felt more productive, and I started losing some water weight, shedding around 2 pounds.

Week 3

Cravings for unhealthy foods significantly decreased. I felt fuller for longer periods, making it easier to stick to smaller portions. My energy levels continued to stay up, and I lost an additional 3 pounds.

Week 4

By the end of the first month, I had lost a total of 7 pounds. My clothes fit better, and I felt more motivated to continue the regimen.

The Second Month: Accelerated Fat Loss

Week 5-6

These weeks were marked by a steady decline in weight. My body adjusted to the changes, and I lost another 5 pounds. Regular exercise and a balanced diet complemented the effects of PhenQ.

Week 7-8

During these weeks, I experienced significant fat loss around my abdomen and thighs. My energy levels peaked, making it easier to stay active. By the end of the second month, I had lost a total of 15 pounds.

The Third Month: Achieving My Goal

Week 9-10

PhenQ’s appetite suppression was crucial during these weeks, helping me avoid holiday overeating. I maintained a steady weight loss rate, dropping an additional 3 pounds.

Week 11-12

As I neared my goal, I focused on toning and building muscle. PhenQ provided the energy needed for intense workouts. By the end of the third month, I had lost a total of 20 pounds, reaching my target weight of 160 pounds.

Conclusion: PhenQ’s Effectiveness

Testing PhenQ diet pills has been a transformative experience. Over three months, I achieved my weight loss goal and gained better control over my eating habits and energy levels. PhenQ’s natural ingredients played a vital role in burning fat, suppressing appetite, and boosting overall well-being.

Key Takeaways:

• Effective Fat Burner: PhenQ helped me burn fat naturally without severe side effects.
• Appetite Suppression: It curbed my cravings and helped control portion sizes.
• Energy Boost: The supplement provided a steady energy level, crucial for maintaining an active lifestyle.
• Mood Improvement: PhenQ’s mood-enhancing properties made the weight loss journey more manageable.

While PhenQ worked for me, it’s essential to remember that results can vary. Combining PhenQ with a balanced diet and regular exercise maximizes its benefits. If you're considering a natural way to burn fat, PhenQ might be worth a try.
PhenQ is a thermogenic weight loss supplement, which means it helps increase your body's temperature to boost your metabolism and burn more calories.

So I'm almost finally done with a whole 12 scripts for a series I've been working on the past year (I've been stuck making only a page of progress every week for a bit now), and I have the notes and everything for how I want it to finish, so it's not that I have no ideas, but every time I'm like "Oh yeah, I should write a little! I gotta finish this!" I just suddenly feel dread? Stress? I don't even know why! I don't think my writing is BAD. I get worried people won't like it, but I know full well that to most people it's probably fine, and I've had people saying they liked it too. I'm 99% sure I have like, the normal amount of worry most people have and not crushing anxiety in this part. Is this writers block? How do I stop feeling like this? My main worry currently is that I'm way overdue for when I said I would finish. My whole team reassures me that It's alright and that I should take my time but it still worries me. I feel like worrying should be pushing me to finish quicker though, and not making me not want to write.. right? I also have been feeling like I should write super late at night like 3-4 am ish but by then I'm also like "I really should sleep" so I end up being conflicted between writing and sleeping and then not writing. Help???

To all parents of young laxers.
To all coaches of club and community teams, register your teams for the tournament events surrounding the PLL games if able.
It was awesome. And seeing it live you can really see what all goes into it.
There is room for improvement. Lines were long, but most of the players go out of their way to embrace the kids.
Also - the one fucker from Crush that kept complaining about the kids on the railing. You were the only Karen in the joint. Move up a few rows you fuck. Wide open view, let the 12 year olds continue to fall in love with the game. You were literally losing your mind because kids were blocking your view when there were seats available everywhere…common sense would suggest it would be easier to move than corral and manage 100 kids drooling over their idols.
Looking good forward to rewatching the games to see the POV on TV vs Live.

PRESENT
This is Part 2 of 3, the Present, in game events we see! Onwards!
The Protagonist is some sort of content creator, one that goes to abandoned or forgotten places and "searches" them, as can be gleaned from the cameras facing the protagonist on his desk, and his conversation with a certain Laura, or LSparks53 (there's also an error in this Harmony tab, with one of the messages from Laura reading as from LauraSparks53 instead of LSparks53. Just a note). This Laura helps our protagonist, who goes by the username of eEnsign. His profile picture are the letters UF, which is weird, since it doesn't match the username, nor what Laura calls eEnsign: Ed. Anyways, I digress. From now on, I'll call the protagonist Ed as well. Laura helps Ed get footage of these places as per the conversation.
eEnsign: "Hey Laura! I'm doing another search this weekend! Wanna come with me?"
LSparks53: "The last few times I've gone with you SUCKED LMAO."
eEnsign: "Remember that old theme park we went to see as kids? Indigo Park?"
LSparks53: "yeah? I kind of forgot about that place? Been closed for a while, right? how would you even get in?"
eEnsign: "Honestly, I don't know. I'm not even gonna bring my equipment. Jump a fence of something? We've done worse lol”
LSparks53: "aight, well just be careful. I'm gonna pass on this one. if you can get in i'll go with you to help record some other time. i'm looking it up now and there's like NO info online about it. probably swarming with cops too."
eEnsign: "I guess we'll find out! I'll check it out, maybe we can go together next week?
Lsparks53: "just be careful, Ed. I don't want to be paying your bail."
And with that conversation, we learn that these two are like a dynamic duo of sorts, having some sort of channel or website where they post footage of places lost to time and "search" them, breaking laws of trespassing and such, apparently also having "done worse", whatever that means. Maybe they took a few things from the place, so burglary? It's never specified. Probably burglary, though, considering that Ed has taken to collecting all sorts of plushies and such from Indigo Park.
What I want to point out is how weird this Laura person acts. As soon as Indigo Park is mentioned, Laura instantly seems to dislike the idea, but never directly says it. Instead, she becomes reluctant to go with Ed, despite having done worse, as Ed puts it. Perhaps she's just cautious, and based on her last sentence, they haven't been caught before, or else she would have said "I don't want to be paying your bail again."
However, I don't think that's the case. Remember when Laura said she looked up Indigo Park and found nothing? Well, we know the website is still up and running, or at the very least, Ed used some sort of service like the Wayback Machine to pull it up on the right most monitor on his desk, which can be seen in the opening cutscene. On it, there's even an option to purchase tickets still, which is incredibly weird, which I'll also go into later on. Why would a defunct theme park need a still running website? After all, if you evacuate everyone from it with no explanation, wouldn't you want to get rid of all evidence of it? If not destroy the property outright, then at least take the website down. Again, digressing, the point is that Laura didn't find this website ... or she did, but didn't say anything.
Again, this is purely speculation at this point; I mean, the two of them have broke into a few places trespassing and recording and documenting abandoned places at least a few times for the internet, and maybe she really is just that cautious, worried about being imprisoned and charged for trespassing, and even attempted burglary.
And it seems like Ed is asking the same questions we are. Behind the Harmony tab is a notes tab with several questions such as "Why did it close?" and "What is left?", among a few others that are cut off. The next question seems to ask "Is it still" something. Seems like Ed and us are in the same boat. Hopefully we can help each other out.
Regardless, Ed ends up climbing the fence and enters the closed off Indigo Park, where dozens of crates stamped with the Indigo Park logo, along with trash, can be seen. Walking around, the main gates are closed off, and one of the doors seem to open on their own, allowing Ed entry into the Registration Center, a desk with a few monitors where a Rangler would sit and check Ed in.
Inside, the Rambley AI comes to life, noting that Ed is the first person there in just over eight years, before directing us to the previously mentioned Registration Center. It is revealed here that AI Rambley has access to the cameras (both computer cameras and CCTV cameras), where he notes that Ed isn’t on the guest list, probably because he snuck in, and didn’t pay for his tickets. However, what stands out as odd is that Rambley doesn’t recognize Ed at all, asking if he was here for the first time. We know that it’s most definitely not Ed’s first time here, but it’s unclear if AI Rambley doesn’t recognize Ed because he grew up, or the registration process requires a photo upload.
Rambley AI: "Hm, I don't seem to have your face in the guest list. Is this your first time here in the park? Or did you just get plastic surgery?"
From here, Ed’s directed to go through the gates, but both AI Rambley and Ed realize that the gates are not open and are instead sending an error message. Going back to the Registration Center, Ed finds and replaces a missing gear, and the gates finally open, from where Ed is free to explore. He’s directed to the Critter Corner, where he receives a Critter Cuff to enter certain areas, and the park, from where he’s directed to Rambley’s Railway to get to know most (poor Salem) of the characters. A massive statue of Isaac Indigo and Rambley can be seen at the entrance.
As Ed makes his way through to Rambley Railway, it’s clear that the park is not in the best condition. Ransacked gift stores, empty cafes with rotting food and festering drinks, tunnels collapsing at the drop of a hat, and weeds spouting everywhere even disconcert the AI Rambley, who tries to shrug off the state of the park by claiming renovations, but it’s clear he’s unsettled with how empty and broken the park is. We’ll cover that later as well.
On this ride, Rambley introduces us to everyone, except for Salem, indicating he’s friends with everyone except her and Lloyd, for whom he has … let’s a bit of distaste for. He’s shown to be sarcastic and snippy with Lloyd, but even his supposed friends aren’t safe from his occasional jabs.
Rambley when speaking to Mollie Macaw: “You sure are [the best pilot you ever saw], Moll! Why, you only crashed into six barns this week!”
Mollie: “I’m not crashin’, Rambley! I’m barnstormin’!”
Rambley: “Haha! What’s barnstorming?”
Mollie: “It’s crashing, with style! I-it barely hurts at all!”
The stutter in Mollie’s audio is what interests me. It could be interpreted as a glitch, which is certainly possible. The park hasn’t been maintained in eight years, and it is falling apart. But it could also be interpreted as Mollie losing her characteristic confidence, upset that Rambley seems to be so keen on pointing out her failures in her hobby sphere.
Rambley, when speaking to Finley the Sea Serpent: “Why the long face? And body? … Oh Finley, you should come out of YOUR shell!”
Finley, in response. “How about YOU come into it instead?”
I would also like to note AI Rambley’s interaction with Finley’s plushie.
AI Rambley: “Ooh, you found my buddy Finley! You know, he’s really shy, like, TOO shy, like OBNOXIOUSLY shy, but he’s got a good heart.”
I want to point out the fact that when Rambley speaks about how shy Finley is, he doesn’t seem to be doing it in a jesting way. In fact, he seems genuinely annoyed with how introverted Finley is, to the point where you can hear it in his voice, and he also uses his annoyed model with slanted eyes when mentioning it.
There’s also a note here that, apparently, Rambley and Finley have known each other for over 100 years, though it’s unclear if this is actually real information, or just something the creators of the ride decided to include for the fun of it.
And another thing. At the very end of the Finley section, Finley hopes that the rider will actually visit him and Oceanic Odyssey, because he’s lonely. Why should he be lonely? He’s friends with Rambley and Mollie, at the very least. Is it because he lives on the bottom of the ocean? Or for other reasons?
Ed then reaches Salem’s area, which is noticeably, horrifically destroyed, a splatter of something bright red front and center. This is where the ride breaks down, and Ed’s required to go and fix it, before continuing onto Lloyd’s area.
I’d like to stop the story to consider the state of Salem’s area; why is it so destroyed? I’m going to avoid thinking of the red splatter as blood, to be honest, but we do know that the Mascots bleed red, thanks to Mollie Macaw. In my mind, there are three potential perpetrators.
The first two are noticeably weak connections, and the reasoning isn’t 100%, so take it with a grain of salt. We know that all the characters received Mascots, so there are three of them that, in my mind, are capable.
The first is, admittedly, a bit weird: the Mascot of Salem. We know she despises Rambley and his friends (her relationship with Lloyd remains a mystery), so it’s possible that Mascot Salem was the one to sabotage her area, as a way of getting back at Rambley. Why her area only is admittedly a bit weird, so she’s not the strongest match. Another piece of evidence would be the smashed animatronic of Mollie. Again, we do know that Salem has used Mollie before by dumping her potions onto her and making Mollie Salem’s minion. Could she also have smashed the animatronic bird?
The second suspect is Mascot Mollie. She can be seen following Ed throughout the ride, and the whole park, for that matter, and we do know there is some bad blood between her and Salem because of the arcade game Rambely Rush. It would give motive for Mascot Mollie to do such a thing, and she’s the only Mascot running about Indigo Park that we know of; Lloyd remained in his theater, not pursuing Ed when he leaves. At the end of the chapter, when Ed enters Oceanic Odyssey, it’s unclear whether a robot or Mascot Finley appears in the aquarium, but he’s likely confined there as well. Mascots Rambley and Salem aren’t even mentioned once.
Now, this one is also kind of a stretch, but the only character that would have more reason to hate Salem more than Mollie is Rambley. They are clear nemeses (again, Rambley Rush), and have been for quite some time. While the AI Rambley is generally benevolent, but still with a sharp tongue, it remains to be seen what exactly the Mascot Rambley is like. His Mascot is still likely here in Indigo Park somewhere, one of the remaining two (Mollie being dead, unless there are several of each Mascot present, in which case this elevates the terror a few notches. Imagine being chased by seventeen Mascot Lloyds) besides Salem. He could very well be the perpetrator. However, I do have a bit of trouble explaining why he would wreck the Animatronic Mollie. Maybe because he knows it’s just a fake, and not the real Mascot Mollie?
However, there is one convenient detail that I have not mentioned. Remember the smashed Animatronic Mollie, and how we were questioning why she was wrecked in the first place? Well, she does offer us one clue. When Ed approaches the bird, Mollie flickers to life momentarily, her voice garbled and distorted until finally, she says this:
Animatronic Mollie: “Not Rambley! He hurts Lloyd! He hurts Lloyd!”
After that, poor Animatronic Mollie finally shuts off for good, her painted eyes devoid of the life she once had. Well, this certainly got interesting, didn’t it? Rambley hurts Lloyd? How? I mean, think about it! How would a raccoon actively hurt a lion? This isn’t like a honey badger situation; raccoons are much more vulnerable and weaker than honey badgers. What’s also interesting is her words themselves. Why would someone program an Animatronic Mollie to say this? We eventually find out that Mascot Mollie will memorize and be able to repeat words or phrases she’s heard, if Ed has the misfortune of being caught by Mascot Mollie later down the line. Is it possible that the same is true for the animatronics? And if so, does that mean that Animatronic Mollie was shouting bits and pieces out of context, or was it supposed to be something she was never meant to hear, and was thusly wrecked?
And even if this was out of context, that still opens up a major can of worms. Even if Rambley never hurt Lloyd, who is this ‘He’ that did hurt Lloyd? Keep this in mind until we reach Lloyd’s attraction.
Anyways, onto Llyod’s area. It’s clear that Lloyd and Rambley both don’t like each other, quite possibly because Rambley hates how Lloyd used to be number one, and Lloyd possibly because he’s not happy that he was replaced by Rambley as head honcho. Rambley, for his part, doesn’t really try to antagonize Lloyd, just wearily going through the ride and trying to get out as fast as possible here.
And that’s essentially it for the ride, AI Rambley suggesting Ed go visit Jetstream Junction. Careful observation would yield the fact that Mascot Mollie has been stalking Ed, studying him from behind the scenes, though she won’t end up being an antagonist until later on.
What’s interesting to note is that at the end, AI Rambley says this: “So, whatddya think? Pretty fun, right? Now you know all about my friends! And Lloyd …”
We know that Rambley cannot stand Salem, Rambley Rush made it quite clear. So, why refer to Salem as a friend? Why is her area so wrecked? Is it possible that AI Rambley has no reason to hate her, because he’s not aware of how often he’s pitted against her in media? But that would also mean that AI Rambley would have to be quite unaware of the media surrounding him, but he seems to know a lot about the history of the park. He still dislikes Lloyd, after all. And then that would beg the question if Mascot Rambley actually dislikes Salem enough to destroy her area in his ride. Too many questions that, unfortunately, there are no answers for. We can’t even see AI Rambley’s thoughts on Salem through a plush or anything, because there are no current collectibles in Chapter 1 that refer to her.
This is actually why I think one of the more intriguing aspects of ‘Birds of a Feather’ is Salem, and her ambiguous presence within the game. There aren’t even any posters in regard to her, unlike Lloyd or Rambley or Mollie or Finley. She’s just so wrapped up in mystery … anyways.
After finding out Jetstream Junction is locked away, AI Rambley sends Ed to Lloyd’s Main Stage Theater, where Ed first catches a glimpse of Mascot Lloyd, dozing on the stage. When Mascot Lloyd notices Ed, he runs into the back, and unfortunately, that’s where Ed has to go.
When Ed reaches the stage himself, AI Rambley tells Ed to be careful, because he has no vision of the backstage area, which is weird. AI Rambley seems to have access to the rest of Indigo Park, why is this area so special? It’s just storage, for the most part … and Mascot Lloyd, but AI Rambley still thinks they’re just as good as they were in their hay day, so he has no reason to be wary of the Mascots themselves until later. It’s true that it’s a Ranglers Only area, and we haven’t really seen AI Rambley in these areas before, so that could be it? Maybe because of his dislike for Lloyd? But then why give AI Rambley access to the stage at all? I don’t know, to be honest. Yet another question. However, AI Rambley does say something interesting.
AI Rambley, to Ed, regarding the behind the stage area: “Hey buddy. I got eyes all over the park, but I can’t see anything behind the stage. If you’re going back there be careful. Your Critter Cuff is not yet able to resuscitate you.”
Why should a Critter Cuff be able to resuscitate a person? From what I understand, it’s supposed to be like those Disney Bands that you can wear at parks, giving you access to different rides and such, even having complementary features of being a pedometer, mood ring, and a heartbeat sensor. This could either be a sort of tease to future upgrades Ed might be able to get in future chapters … or implies something darker. These Critter Cuffs were given to regular guests, for what purpose should they be able to revive someone from being unconscious?
Anyways, as Ed makes his way backstage, Lloyd makes some appearances, even once trying to attack Ed before being foiled by the massive boxes landing on him, causing him to slink away. Along the path, however, is something interesting. Binders, pages, even notebooks are scattered, almost like a bread crumb trail. I was never able to make out what they say besides some months like January, or vague Table of Contents with no explanation. Just thought it was weird. Food for thought. Grabbing the keys, Ed heads back, finding the door locked behind him. Trying to open the door yields an attack by Lloyd, who is strangely repelled by a high-pitched noise.
Now, from all that I have read, there seem to be two theories as for why Lloyd flees. The first cause is that Mascot Lloyd is driven away by the high-pitched beeping from the Critter Cuff. The second, and arguably more intriguing theory, is that someone blows a tamer’s whistle. A tamer’s whistle is a whistle used by tamers to direct animals, usually in settings like circuses where the animal has to perform some sort of trick or feat of athleticism. As it’s used more and more often, the animal learns to recognize the pitch, or duration of the shrill sound, associating it with a certain action that needs to be performed. In this case, the theory states that the tamer’s whistle caused Lloyd to fall back, before fleeing.
Now, while I think the tamer whistle theory is cool in concept, I don’t know who would be able, or more importantly, willing to save Ed from Mascot Lloyd. AI Rambley is not able to see what’s back here, nor should he understand what’s happening, so that removes him from the picture. Mascot Mollie is a possibility, perhaps wanting to save Ed for herself, as she’s seen stalking and watching Ed ever since Rambley’s Railroad, and even appears briefly in the hallway when Ed exits the theater backstage, but why want Ed for herself? They probably don’t need food, else they would have died, sweet pastries and sugary drinks present or not. They were left alone for eight years, after all. The thrill of the hunt would be the only explanation. And then there are our two unknowns, running about the park: Mascot Rambley and Mascot Salem. Could they have been the ones to do it? But why assume they’d act differently towards Ed? Surely they’d still be hostile?
And if the Critter Cuff was the savior, why was it ineffective against Mascot Mollie? Could it be because of the physiological and biological differences between Mascots Lloyd and Mollie? And why did it go off only when Lloyd was nearby? After Lloyd is repelled, the noise stops, after all. Was it the elevated heart rate that tipped off the defense mechanism? But again, surely it would have done the same when Ed would be chased by Mascot Mollie?
Remember what Animatronic Mollie told Ed with her dying breath? ‘Not Rambley! He hurts Lloyd! He hurts Lloyd!’ Could this be what Mollie was referring to? After all, Lloyd didn’t just run away; he collapsed a few feet away from Ed for a brief stint, paws pressing against his ears as Lloyd curled up into a fetal position, only running away when the high-pitched sound ended. Mascot Lloyd genuinely seemed in great pain, and was only able to run away, quite hastily, may I add, once the sound stopped. Was Rambley, AI or Mascot, the one who abused such a feature? Or was it someone else?
Remember, we have no idea why the Mascots turned hostile. Possibly due to a lack of exposure to humans, and thus claiming certain territories for themselves. After all, Mollie didn’t attack Ed until he entered her designated area. But then that brings into question Mascot Rambley. Where was he all this time? Rambley Railroad is his place, after all. But this isn’t Rambley’s only attraction in Indigo Park. At least one other location that we find that bears Rambley’s name is ‘Café de Raton Laveur’, which is French for Raccoon Café. Does that mean that Rambley owns other attractions, and is stalking those? It’s unclear.
Anyways, want to know another possible reason why there was a sudden evacuation with no explanation? What if the Mascots rebelled against the humans because of mistreatment? Think about it, Animatronic Mollie says ‘Not Rambley! He hurts Lloyd! He hurts Lloyd!’ What if Animatronic Mollie wasn’t referring to Rambley hurting Lloyd, but someone else? Someone who would want to design a special feature built into his Critter Cuff that he could activate and subdue, if not straight up hurt Lloyd? And who is the only other male character that we know of besides Rambley, Lloyd, Finley, and Ed?
That’s right, Isaac Indigo himself. This could very well be a case of mistreated creatures rebelling against the horrors they endured. Think about it, when in stressful situations, the mind, both human and not, is much more willing to go into fight or flight, is much more likely to punch first, question later. Is it possible that this Animatronic Mollie caught a snippet of a conflict that arose between the Mascots, when Mascot Mollie was trying to mediate? While this does go against the theory that Animatronic Mollie was destroyed by Mascot Rambley to silence her, it’s still a possible theory, no?
Again, these theories are very much a stretch, I just wished to lay them out on the table and offer them up for people to see and debate.
After grabbing the keys, Ed goes to Jetsream Junction, where Ed goes about exploring and solving some puzzles in order to progress further into the building, as it seems to be the only other place that isn’t falling apart and seems to be in somewhat stable condition. Inside one of the rooms is the Rambley Rush arcade game, and there is something interesting that Salem says in here.
Salem, speaking to Rambley: “Meet the new and improved Marley Macaw! Now with none o’ that ‘friendship’ garbage stopping her from tearin’ you to pieces. I wonder what she REALLY thinks of you now? Have fun finding out!”
Now, this could just be me overanalyzing this thing. It’s our only reference to Salem, and some of the things I cite as evidence could very well just be regular dialogue for an arcade game. However, on the off chance that this means something, I was very interested in what Salem said about what Mollie thought of Rambley. She makes it seem like Mollie is under some sort of illusion in regard to Rambley, like he’s a villain masquerading as a good guy, but has everyone around him convinced he’s good. This could tie in with the broken Animatronic Mollie, as if Mollie found out about some truth in regard to Rambley. After all, her broken, jittering speech made it seem like Rambley was actively hurting Lloyd. Could she have gone to someone to get help, but that other someone suggested Rambley as an ally? That could explain why Mollie felt the need to emphasize that ‘He hurts Lloyd’ twice, like she’s genuinely freaking out that her best friend actively hurt others he didn’t like.
Putting that theory aside, Ed goes through the area, heading up to Mollie’s ride, only to find it inaccessible due to major chunks of broken debris. AI Rambley seems sort of horrified to find the place so broken and calls up a repair technician. It’s no surprise that the line is discontinued, due to most Ranglers likely being laid off after the closure of Indigo Park.
From here, AI Rambley, still somewhat jarred by the wreckage he’s seeing, encourages Ed to go and visit Mollie’s Landing Pad, strangely acting as if Ed had just finished his journey on the attraction, when he couldn’t even step onto it. From there, Ed goes and solves some puzzles, making his way deeper into the building. He spots Mollie a few times as she gets away from him, hiding. What’s an interesting note is that some sort of liquid seems to be dripping from Mollie. When you encounter her in one of the tubes, she leaves behind some sort of reddish grime that disappears once her animation is done. Her eyes, also, aren’t the way they’re usually portrayed. They’re similar to Lloyd’s in that there are white pinpricks of light in dark sockets, Lloyd’s being thin ovals in dark sockets.
As Ed finishes up the puzzles, he goes deeper before he’s attacked by Mascot Mollie herself, fleeing through the numerous tubes and tunnels, before eventually leaving it all behind and entering some sort of Ranglers Only Area.
Before we continue, I’d like to point out something. When being chased, Mascot Mollie occasionally rehearses some lines she once heard, repeating this.
Finely, to Rambley: “You’ve known me for 100 years.”
Reasonable enough; she was there when Ed was in the Rambley’s Railroad attraction. No, what concerns me are two other lines, identified by SuperHorrorBro in his analysis of chapter one.
Mascot Mollie: “Get back in your cage, bird.”
And finally, this.
Mascot Mollie: “Get up you stupid freak!”
Remember, Mascot Mollie only repeats what she has once heard. She doesn’t actively make her own dialogue. Remember the theory I had about the Mascots having enough of their terrible living conditions, and rebelling against the staff? It seems like this is the right direction to go in. Lloyd and Mollie do not attack immediately. While Lloyd runs away, Mollie observes, watching, biding her time. She follows you to Lloyd’s theater, and what does she see, or, rather, hear? Lloyd being pushed further and further back into his domain, the one place he should be happy, before being forced into a corner, and where he lashes out. Even though Ed ends up leaving, he ends up claiming a piece of Lloyd’s territory, and Lloyd goes back onto his instincts, to hunt. However, when he gets too close, that blasted, accursed Critter Cuff lets out its horrible whine, Lloyd collapsing, consumed with nothing but pain. Once the sound ends, he flees, like a terrified animal.
And what does Ed see when he leaves? Mascot Mollie, observing Ed. She’s seen that, yet again, a human encroaches, pushes their bounds, eventually hurting Lloyd to get what he wants. And then, he goes to Mollie’s home, the Jetstream Junction, a place she’s been locked out of due to needing a Critter Cuff, but she wouldn’t dare touch one. She saw what happened to Lloyd, who knew what sort of anguish it would inflict upon Mollie?
She enters behind Ed, stalking him, fury building as she watches Ed run about like he owns the place. How dare this man, this human, walk upon her domain whenever he wants, but she has to wait until she’s let in, like some sort of caged bird. Well, she’s not a caged bird, and she’ll make Ed see that.
At first, when AI Rambley sees Ed, he wishes to stop Ed, but seeing a towering Mascot Mollie chasing him, he opens the door, slamming it shut behind Ed just as Mascot Mollie’s head enters the room, killing the Mascot instantly as blood sprays all over the metallic door and floor. AI Rambley attempts to act like nothing happened, but fails, sighing.
He explains that he didn’t realize the danger of Indigo Park and its inhabitants due to being stuck in that early Reception Center for all of those eight, lonely years, unable to see or interact with anything inside. He was just so excited to finally see an actual person that he pushed Ed into this tour, realizing that, with the way things were, there was no way Ed would come out unscathed, and the AI seems genuine in his sorrow. However, he asks for Ed to help restore the park to the former glory, and, miraculously, Ed agrees. However, before Ed leaves, AI Rambley drops this one last piece of vital information.
AI Rambley: “Whew! That was exhausting to say that whole spiel, but Rambley’s Ranglers (registered) is a registered trademark … that expired yesterday.”
Okay, so couple things. From my impression, I had the feeling that somehow, someway the Indigo Company as a whole was alive and kicking. I mean, look at what Ed has to say when he interacts with the Rambley Raccoon plushy.
Ed: “Ah, there’s my buddy. Kinda feels like Rambley has a whole empire now, being the main man of Indigo and all.”
Ed gives us the distinct impression that not only is Indigo still around, but it’s also positively thriving, yet they allow their trademarks to expire? Trademarks essentially last forever, but you have to fight, in court, to let them continue every ten years or so. If Indigo is based on Disney, the stingiest, largest entertainment company, why would they let their trademark expire, and give access to others? Well, this might have to do with the initial terms.
You see, in order to keep a trademark, you have to defend its usage every ten years. Well, okay, then why didn’t Indigo do so? One of the terms for renewal is that you have to continuously use that trademark. You can’t just claim one and never use it again, that’s basically an infraction upon free speech. Sure, you can fight for its ownership, but there are rules and regulations to these kinds of things, you can’t just trademark something like ‘Oof’ or ‘Lmao’ and keep it without at least saying those phrases occassionally.
And, so far as we know, there are no other places such as Indigo Park owns. Ranglers are synonymous with staff in the park, so obviously, it would be hard to justify keeping a trademark when you never expect to use it. So, that’s my theory on why the trademark did indeed expire the day previously, October 6^th, 2023 (apparently, the creator confirmed the game takes place in 2023, so, that means that Ed arrives on October 7^th, 2023, and the last person to enter park left on October 7^th, 2015).
Anyways, after that, AI Rambley leads Ed to Oceanic Odyssey with the intention to get it back up and running, as it has been closed due to repairs, something that AI Rambley hopes Ed can assist with. As Ed exits, he tries entering a hallway, which AI Rambley blocks.
AI Rambley: “Uh oh. That Rambley’s Ranglers room is only accessible by Royal Ranglers. Maybe you’ll grow up big and strong enough to enter it! But for now, don’t.”
This is the first instance of hierarchy within the Ranglers that Ed has been introduced to so far, and the dark undertone AI Rambley takes when he tells Ed not to go there is somewhat concerning. What exactly is AI Rambley hiding back there? Well, I have a few hunches.
Let’s point out the obvious regarding our friends, the Mascots; they’re not regular animals. Obviously, regular animals don’t have dark orbitals with thin white slits, or have turquoise noses, or have macaws the size of cassowaries. However, they are still animals, creatures of flesh and blood that act like their regular animal counterparts; Lloyd is an ambush predator, stalking until he himself is presented with an opportunity to attack. However, lions are known to just straight up attack if they are discovered by accident, especially if the prey is weaker and slower than them. Lloyd runs away instead of attacking.
Similarly, Mollie follows Ed warily, unsure of what to think of him for most of the time. She never aggresses until he enters her territory, and even then, she’s surprisingly lenient with Ed, straight up until he finishes those color-coded symbol puzzles. Only then does she attack. And even then, this is a behavior reflected in regular macaws as well, as these birds are fiercely territorial of their area.
So, these Mascots didn’t pop up straight from the ground, did they? They had to be bioengineered at the very least, mutated regular animals becoming the Mascots guests once knew and loved. They are, however, animals at their core, animals that do not attack for no reason. They try to deescalate the situation, as Lloyd does when he runs backstage, and when Mollie pulls herself back through the tunnels, away from Ed, and striding through the corridors, until she eventually loses patience and chases after Ed through Jetsream Junction.
I’d like to propose the theory that these Mascots were created in that area of Jetstream Junction, hidden underground and away from prying eyes. This is also where the Mascots were likely mistreated and abused, called horribly names at the very least, and endured beatings and humiliating acts at their worst. This is also likely where the Mascots originally snapped. After all, literally not a single guest understands why they were evacuated. Unless the guests who saw what happened were silenced, there should have been something floating around the Internet, on some obscure forum.
Now, why would AI Rambley hide this? Because he now understands that these Mascots are dangerous, a risk he cannot allow, since he enlisted Ed to bring the park back from the dead. AI Rambley realizes that Ed doesn’t have the tools to survive that area; perhaps because one of the Mascots lurks in there, locked away, or because he doesn’t want Ed to flee, horrified as to the scientific process that allowed for the mutated abominations to roam Indigo Park.
Regardless, Ed finally makes his way to the entrance of Oceanic Odyssey, home of the Mascot Finley. In fact, we actually get to see a glimpse of Finely’s actual size in one of the aquariums as his large head and long torso appear, before the chapter ends. I don’t believe that this is an animatronic, as electricity and water do not mix, especially animatronic with running current of electricity in water.
And that’s where Chapter 1 of Indigo Park, ‘Birds of a Feather’, ends off. Chapter Two will likely revolve mostly, if not totally, around Oceanic Odyssey and Mascot Finley.
So, I have two predictions as for where the next chapter might go. Based on the reactions Mascots previously had to Ed, I believe that Mascot Finley will not be attacking immediately. He’ll likely be observing, like Mollie, at least for a certain amount of time, until he proceeds to attack and harass Ed around his attraction. Ed will eventually get Oceanic Odyssey up and running, and have to leave Mascot Finley behind, as he’s still hostile and very much a danger to Ed.
The alternative to this is that once Mascot Finely realizes what Ed is trying to do, he stops being aggressive, and might instead become a temporary ally, allowing Ed to reach certain locations with his knowledge of the place.
Regardless of Mascot Finley’s ultimate fate, Oceanic Odyssey being powered on will likely catch the attention of Indigo. Based on the information we know so far, Indigo is still a well known, public entity. It’s possible that Indigo abandoned the theme park route, instead focusing exclusively on media such as cartoons, movies, and merch, or they might have other sister locations to Indigo Park. It’s unclear.
Whew. In the words of AI Rambley, this is a lot of information. Almost nine thousand words in, and we finally finish covering Chapter 1. So, let’s proceed to the Conclusion I draw regarding the story Indigo Park tries to tell, and the future events that might transpire.

I've been vicariously getting some drama in my life through this subreddit, because I had a pretty stable gf, parents, job, etc. Never thought my life could get "complex", but here I am at 6am creating a throwaway account.
So for context, me and my gf have been together for 5+ years now, planning the wedding and baby names, neither of us can imagine life without the other. Last year, one of her old high school classmates killed himself. They weren't keeping contact since HS and even then they weren't friends or anything, but it still shook her deeply: that she saw signs and could have kept the contact up and could have helped him survive. It really took a toll on her, she even got a psychologist, and was making some progress with dealing with this trauma.
Enter last two weeks, she randomly meets some guy on some forum. Turns out this guy is also suicidal, and now she can't help herself, she must save this guy at least. She lost all control and sense. Multiple days in the last two weeks, on days when the guy was feeling down, she has been on the phone with him for like 8+ hours. Even 10-12+ a few times, I can't tell exactly because I also leave for work and stuff.. Just right now they have been on the phone since like the early afternoon till 5am now.. They are both crying, she is trying to convince him not to kill himself, etc...
I tried talking to her about making boundaries in this, but these only work on days when the guy is chill. Tried being supportive, tried actually helping. Tried explaining to her that this can't go on forever like this, without being threatening relationship-wise. She also is really trying to convince the guy to get professional help, but (in my opinion!) the guy is just leeching her energy, and he will never change or do anything (good or bad). But she's just trapped in this deadlock, when the guy starts pulling threats, she just can't help but must try and save this guy. All day and all night, getting sleep deprived, barely interacting with me (but "still loving me very much").
I fear that if I just gave her an ultimatum to block this guy, she might likely have guilt for the rest of her life for failing this guy too. What do we do to get back to normal?
TLDR: While GF was still dealing with the trauma of an old classmate committing suicide, she got to know another guy who is apparently on the brink of it. She can't help herself, she must save this guy at least, so now she is spending 10+ hours in phone calls with this guy, while her life and our relationship is falling apart.

I apologize if this post is long. I have a lot of information. Please let me know if there is anything I need to change. I'm looking for any suggestions.
My name is Mikayla. I am a 24 year old female. I am 5'4" and my last checked weight was 265 pounds. I am Caucasian. I live in the United States.
Pre-existing medical conditions: Endometriosis, Tendonitis, Osteitis Pubis, Chronic Rhinitis, and Deafness with bilateral Cochlear Implants
Current Medications: Baclofen (for involuntary muscle movements), Celebrex (as needed for pain), Protonix (for heartburn), Hydroxyzine (for itchiness)
Symptoms:
I have itchiness all over my body which Hydroxyzine greatly helps (December 2020). I have twitching/writhing in my whole body (May 1st, 2021). Usually, Baclofen gets rid of it but starting two weeks ago it has stopped working as well as it used to. Before, I would take it every 12 hours and wouldn't start twitching until the next dose. Now, I am always twitching a slightly and it starts getting worse at 6 hours. I am only allowed to take it every 8 hours. I have sudden leg weakness that will cause my legs to almost give out. (March 2021) I have to grab onto anything near me so I don't fall. I have shocking sensations in my spine from my tailbone to my neck. I always have a constant electrical sensation that feels like my spine is a live wire. Sometimes I will get huge waves of shocks that go from my tailbone up to my neck over and over again until it stops which usually lasts multiple hours. (May 22nd, 2021) I have tactile hallucinations like feeling like bugs are crawling on me and water is falling on me (as if there's a leak in the ceiling) (May 27th, 2021) My hands will sometimes stop working and I will drop whatever I'm holding, but not know I dropped it until it hits the ground, My hands also can't feel temperatures accurately. For example, when I take a bath I touch water with my hands it won't feel very hot, but if I put my whole arm in or a foot in I can tell that it is very hot. (April 2021) I have times when I either pass out or fall asleep. (July 19th, 2021) I will be doing something like watching TV or being on my phone and then I will wake up not knowing how much time has passed and feeling very nauseous and dizzy. Sometimes my mom would come into my room and my phone would be in my hands in the middle of a game like I had just suddenly fallen asleep. It happens anywhere from 1-2 times a day to 40+ times a day. In the past two weeks (Started around May 21st) I have gained new symptoms of noticeable slurring when I speak to others (not me), feeling like it's harder to form words to speak and like my tongue is weak/heavy, speaking loudly (even though to me I'm talking normally), I have also noticed that it has been harder to think and my memory has been awful. I have to write down everything or I will forget it 5 seconds later. When I try to read a book I will read one line and then when I go to read the next line I've already forgotten what the previous line said. That's how fast I forget things.
I have bilateral cochlear implants which means I have metal on both sides of my head. Because of this, I can't do MRIs and when I do a CT scan the areas on both sides of my head where the metal is in are all white. Therefore, the CT scans were considered inclusive, because they couldn't see everything.
I had a CT scan of my spine with contrast (April 22, 2022) and that was negative. I've done a sleep study and a test for Narcolepsy. However, I didn't pass out at all so it came back negative. I have had an EEG and an EMG done. The EEG showed something but they didn't know what. It didn't show anything diagnosable. The EMG was negative. I have had lab work done.
My life has been on hold because of these. I have to have help doing basic things like taking a bath. Sometimes I can barely walk. I haven't been able to go to college or work. I'm just looking for any suggestions. It doesn't matter how out there it is. I know this is immensely long, so I'm so incredibly grateful to anyone who reads all of this and comments. Thank you ahead of time.

Lost girl during depression
Hi,
32M, not matured to the age. August 2022, I met a girl whom I had lived together from day 1.
During Nov 2022, I got laid off unexpectedly and it slowly got to stress myself out.
<- Depression slow started -> December 2022, we decided to go forward with marriage and signed marriage license. Fast forward, few days I attended an interview and failed. This started to stress me out as I thought I’ve less of a future.
Slowly the relationship started to have arguments but we still know something is here as we were extremely comfortable with each other. It was on/off during the entire time.
June 10, 2023: I shouted at her blaming her past and I don’t want her(I didn’t mean it, I just shouted as all I internally wanted was to get back where I was in my career)
July 22, 2023: She gave me a drunk call and there was a guy near her.
July 29, 2023: we met and made out and she admitted this was a mistake.
August 16,2023: I approached her and we talked little bit and she mentioned to me, let’s resume it once the guy is gone. I was shattered.
Sep 1, 2023: we met and she initiated physical contact, some form of cheating to her relationship.
Sep 12: I called and we started talking.
Sep 25: We met and got physical, this is the day I was weak as I was suffering from mental depression and also extreme job stress due to quarterly performance review.
Sep 30: she blocked me
Oct 30: I messaged as I was calm after my past performance review. We met , hugged but something was fishy.
Dec 15: I called, the same guy picked and I was confused. How this was possible.
Depression got worse, as it was winter, I was alone, job was made even harder.
April, 2024: I took a break after performing well in my job.
May 2024: My depression is cured or my stress levels have come down.
She is engaged.
How do I come out of this weird zone, where me coming back to real life and then she is not there?
I don’t want to life in an unreal world, but the real world doesn’t seem to have her, and it pushes me towards loneliness.

We generally don't have too much of an issue with neighborhood cats, but 3 have recently shown up on our block, and I suspect might belong to a neighbor. Caught one wandering through our backyard not too far from the chicken run. Thankfully our pitbull is generally enough of a deterrent during the day for most critters (she's a love bug that wouldn't hurt a fly, but the raccoons and opossums don't know that lol.) However one of the cats seems to have gotten brave. Also, the dog isn't out early in the morning when the chickens wake up. (Their coop has an auto door and leads out into a large dog run). Their run is pretty secure, but I know cats are crafty little things. Not sure if maybe I should just make them hang out in their coop until I can send out their security detail in the mornings, or if any chicken safe cat repellents exist. Besides the dog, any other way to deter the cats from my yard? We live in a residential neighborhood in city limits.

NOTE: I am on PS5
Has anyone notice a DROP ON Damage?
Is the game ecperiencing a bug with Dmg Calculation...?
No matter what I use, most damage I am dealing is 12 on crits.
I have a full STR build. Using shields and maces (for testing) blunt dmg buffs no matter what I do, I do the same damage 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 12 crits.
I tried swords, spears, daggers. All do the same damage. I remove my legendary armor and helmet and still same dmg.
No matter what I do is the same dmg. I am supposed to be dealing over 20dmg per hit.
Ex. Mace that gives 60% Blunt dmg. Shield mace still do the same numbers above. Remove the mace, same...
I saw 2 kids today level 50. Legendary armor and helm. Using 2 handed swords.
They were hitting the dummy for 8dmg.
It's been 3 days with the same issue. Not playing anymore until they fix this issue. It's ridiculous.
I liked this game so much I was working on my 4th character. Now I think I'm going to deleted

For Moss 2, I am unable to leave the Twilight Garden after beating the boss. I have met the Giant Toad who opened the gateway (by removing the vines), and the nearby plants lit up.
But when I tried to walk through the opened gateway, but I can not walk through it! Looks like something invisible is still blocking me?
Is this a bug, or am I missing something? (both quest2 & game are up-to-date)
I have looked at the youtube walkthroughs and can't really tell if there is anything else I need to do or get?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Being in a non source water block turns it into a source block. This causes it to spread continuously as I try to escape it. Images below is my mod folder. If anyone has any idea which one is causing this, I would be grateful if you'd share.

I’m not the best at this but hear me out.

• Akademiks said that a “huge rapper” is secretly beefing with drake
• Akademiks says that the rapper has big songs with Drake(Sicko Mode is one of the biggest raps songs in recent history)
• Fans think it’s Travis Scott, (I also think its Travis, here’s why)
• Travis Scott was plastered all over the WDTY album, an album who’s rollout is centered around beefing with Drake+ Recently announced a shoe collaboration with Ye, who called for “The elimination of Drake” not too long ago
• Travis is known for being neutral during beefs(Let Drake is diss Ye on Sicko Mode, Let Drake diss Pharrel on Utopia{Pharrel is also on Utopia})
• But, this time I think it’s different, he’s definitely on a side, he SPECIFICALLY requested Metro/Future to play “Like That” at Rolling Loud
• But lets give Travis the benefit of the doubt, the version played at rolling loud wasn’t the Kendrick Diss version and “allegedly” Kendrick sent his verse last minute so maybe he aint know
• But he reposted the WDTY cover when it was about to drop, has 2 features and was in the Type Shit MV with CashXo(Also dissed by Drake)
• Travis knows Future/Metro are beefing with Drake he is showing them ALOT of support for a neutral guy
• I know what your thinking, there’s too much evidence that Drake and Trav are still cool such as the rumored European Tour, The floating Travis head at Drakes concert, and the “Travis got you wiped down” lyric on “push ups”
• I think these are all cover ups/smoke screens
• Starting off with the European Tour Rumors, it was hinted at via the grapevine on Twitter and Drake made a post hinting at it.
• But, Travis just announced his European/Worldwide leg for his tour, Drake is not involved, the Drake/Trav joint tour rumors are just rumors but if the rumors were actually true, this would mean Drake got removed from the tour. Well not “removed” but Travis didn’t wanna tour with him anymore.(Blind Items suggest that Drake doesn’t wanna go to the UK/Europe due to sex trafficking allegations)
• Next is the floating Travis Head that Drake shoots at, during Drake’s most recent tour this year, he had a massive Travis Scott head floating across stage whilst preforming “Meltdown”-
• Fans thought this was a jab at Travis, others think it’s “appreciation” or a “shoutout”
• I mean it’s obviously a shoutout right? Why would Drake have a massive Travis Scott head floating across stage if he didn’t like him?
• Let’s take look back at Drake’s character,
• On his most recent album “For All The Dogs” Drake has a song called “What Would Pluto Do” a song dedicated to his “friend” and long time collaborate, Future
• Fans loved the song and saw no maliciousness behind it, it’s a tribute song to Future, the title compares him to Jesus, and he’s rapping about how he’d fuck someone else’s girl because Future would do it. Great song displaying a friendship!
• However others found it weird that Drake didn’t feature Future on the song
• Nor did Future acknowledge the song, not even a post bumping it on his story
• Why would you pay a song made by your “friend” that’s shouting you out complete dust?
• Because he’s not shouting Future out
• It’s a massive sneak diss
• He’s bragging about fucking Future’s girl, and justifying it by saying Future would do the same to him
• “What would Pluto Do, He fucked the hoe so I did it”
• “What Would Pluto Do he definitely fucking on this hoe”
• So massive that no one knew it was a diss song until 5 MONTHS LATER, on the release of “We Don’t Trust You” “Sneak dissing I don’t understand dawg”
• It’s right there in the title track!
• The point is Drake is a massive sneak disser and bit extra/petty
• There has been smoke before the fire though, Future was allegedly mad at Drake for doing “Her Loss” instead of “WATTBA 2”
• But Drake was the first to publicly diss him
• Ye said “When Drake disses you, only you will know”
• If he can fake a an entire diss song towards Future, and mask it like they are still good friends publicly, he can do the same to Travis with the floating head.
• Not to mention, Metro was invited to IAAB tour in September 2023 and Drake first dissed Metro on a Metro beat with “More Ms” in November 2022 (He might’ve dissed Future there too)
• Don’t fall for the show antics, Drake hates these guys
• But there’s been tension before the sneak antics with Metro and Future but none with Travis, so maybe I’m just wrong.
• Next is Push Ups
• Everyone thinks the “Travis got you wiped down” bar is a Drake shouting out Travis
• But I think it’s something else, (I got the next point from a twitter dude)
• Drake wasn’t praising Travis, the point was to downplay Kendrick’s commercial success by naming other rappers and artists that are not Drake that outsold him
• He names Sza and 21 Savage, (21 Savage collab album with Drake sold 404k first week, Sos sold 318k, which is more than Mr Morales 295k)
• Other than Sza and Savage, how many other rappers/artists that are friends with Drake can say they “wiped down” Kendrick?
• He can’t say “Yeat got you wiped down, Sexyy Redd got you wiped down,” Durk Cole etc. They all sold less than Mr Morale.
• Therefore, he threw in Travis’s name as a placeholder to diminish Kendrick’s commercial success and add into the “he’s irrelevant” theory.
• Along with pretending to the public that he and Trav are still cool.
• The next part of my theory is all within the song Push Ups.
• On 4/12/24 after the release of Metro and Future’s second diss album, “We Still Don’t You”(Which had even more Drake disses) “Push Ups” leaked online
• It was the demo version that leaked and gained traction, Drake saw it and sent Akademiks the finished version, and dropped the song officially a week later.
• There’s some significant differences between the leaked version and the official, the beat is different, and the spoken word outro is cut off, but the lyrics within the song stayed the exact same, apart from two lines
• The Diddy Line
• And the “BM kiss and tell” Line
• Let’s start with the Diddy Line, when Drake was dissing Rick Ross in Push Ups, he brings up the Diddy raids
• Well not “brings up” he subtly mentioned it, didn’t even say his name
• “Every song he got it on the chart it came from Drizzy, worry about whatever going on with you and-“
• It cuts right before he mentions Diddy name which is supposed to be a subtle nod, but why is he scared to say Diddy name like he’s the boogeyman or something? Even on an unreleased demo
• The line is replaced with “Spend that lil check you got and stay tf up out by buisness”
• Could it be that Drake mentioning Diddy, and associating his name with sex trafficking could lead to some repercussions for Drake?
• Drake fans love bringing up the Diddy beef from a decade ago to insinuate that Drake is not involved with the weird sex stuff going on but Drake has been friends with Diddy for the last couple years.
• He drops a like on a Diddy ig post in September 2023, just months before Diddy’s first lawsuit accusing him of rape and abuse on Cassie
• This sub just revealed that Drake and Diddy are definitely associates via Nissan
• Drake would be the first rapper(Aside from 50, but first to do it in a song) to publicly call out Diddy for his sex crimes if he followed through with that line, the biggest one at that
• Drake saying that line would be throwing Diddy under the bus publicly.
• The blind items(which may or may not be true idk) suggest that Drake was throwing Dutchavelli under the bus with his sex crimes, and that another pedo rapper gossiped in jail that Drake should be with him
• And that’s exactly what Drake is doing, throwing Diddy under the bus
• Diddy still has access to social media and we know that other rappers, (Chris Brown, and Meek Mill friends with Drake) were at the Diddy parties fondling with minors.
• Drake follows Diddy son on IG, Diddy son was also partying with minors and sex workers, he’s just as complicit
• Could it be that if Drake name dropped Diddy and hinted at him being a pedo/trafficker in a song, hence throwing him under the bus, Diddy would have responded too? Would Diddy response be dragging Drake down with him? Is that why Drake deleted the line?
• “You gon make a nigga bring back Puff” could have a double meaning
• Kendrick can mention Diddy all he wants ”The Embassy bound to get raided TOO” Diddy can’t bring him down with evidence/confessionals.
• If Drake goes down, everyone else goes down, the industry is cooked, that’s why Metro had a tweet about “sparing the both of us”
• Kendrick isn’t going down, he’s not at these freaky rapper parties, he lives a boring life.
• But Drake?
• Who knows
• Keep in mind, when Push Ups first leaked, fans thought that Drake did it himself as a soft launch to test the waters and claim AI if the public thinks it’s ass
• But Akademiks(reliable Drake insider) says that the track may have leaked without Drake’s knowledge
• Also The Weeknd, who just had a song dissing Drake for having “leaks in their operation” posted a meme of him laughing the minute the song leaked.
• A reference track for Jumbotron Shit Poppin, made by Lil Yacthy also leaked a couple days after.
• If Drake does have a leak, and push ups leaking was a result, it adds onto the theory that Drake does NOT want to mention Diddy due to the potential consequences, and that the fans were not meant to hear that one.
• But Drake isn’t gonna publicly say “Guys don’t listen to that one I mentioned Diddy and I might get in trouble”
• He played it cool and changed the lyrics, no ones gonna notice
• Ok back to the main theory Drake V Travis Scott
• Another lyric change is “Rolling Loud stage y’all was turnt y’all was slick as hell, shit’ll change if your dog lil BM start to kiss and tell.” to “Shit’ll change if your Bm start to kiss and tell”
• Interesting…….
• We know that Push Ups is a direct response to Future/Metro, their “dog” is definitely Travis Scott, who was performing at Rolling Loud with Future/Metro, along with requesting “Like That”
• We know Drake hates the song, considering that according to Metro, he tried to block the song on radio.
• Travis Scott Bm is Kylie Jenner
• We know that 99% percent of Drake beefs center around women, if a rapper beefs with Drake their wife/significant other is getting mentioned. Unfortunately Travis on the receiving end.
• But this isn’t the first time Drake and Kylie have been paired together in a romantic context, theres been loads of dating rumors between them throughout the years
• Ye said ”Drake lives across the street from my wife and fucks all her friends” in a leaked phone call with Taylor Swift in 2016 . Does Kylie count as Kim’s “friend?”

EDIT I FORGOT THIS -Drake even has an unreleased song where he says”Real Shit, Kylie Jenner as a side piece, I got 20 damn Kylies”
EDIT AND THIS -Drake apologizes for the song later, but still weird to say that about a girl who you first met when you were a grown ass man and she was a minor?

• Drake would be the first to break his silence on these rumors and CONFIRM them by saying he smashed Kylie for the sake of the beef.
• Drake has known Kylie ever since she was young as 16, if Drake came out and said he smashed Kylie, people would make the connection that Drake fucking a girl that he first encountered as a minor, would be grooming
• And Drake definitely doesn’t want that label on him, considering that he “expected” it. So he changed the line and made sure it was directed at Future and Future only.
• The only lines that changed in the released and unfinished versions of Push Ups are coincidentally, the ones that cause Drake to Freudian slip himself(Kylie) or get him in trouble(Diddy)
• Hence why the track was leaked by a hater inside OVO and not Drake

In Conclusion IF the rapper beefing with Drake is Travis Scott it’s probably because of Kylie, if Drake smashed Kylie before/during/afte her relationship with Travis, he’s a certified pedophile. He doesn’t want the public to know that though, that’s why he removed Travis sub in Push Ups, we weren’t supposed to hear that, along with the Diddy line. There’s a leak in OVO, and that’s why the Travis beef is “secret”
Thank you to everyone who read through this, I apologize for it being a bit unorganized, I’ll add photos/tweets as evidence for the stuff in here soon. If I made a mistake/missing something lmk. If someone can make a shorter TDLR version that’s be appreciated ✌🏾.
UPDATE:Akademiks confirms the secret rapper is Travis right as I post this 😂

Hi everybody, putting this up after running the Stockholm marathon yday - shoutout to anybody who suffered through that heat. It was 27° on the day and the race kicked off at 12.00 so the entire race was at peak sun.
Had gotten a 4.29 finish in Barcelona in early March and had been aiming for 4.20 - 4.30 this time round. Felt really good in terms of prep, improved diet and did about 10% more mileage in 16 week training block than I had for Barcelona (averaged 45km week). Only real concern was that I’m based in Dublin and so the highest temp I’d trained in was 18° but even through May, a lot of runs would’ve been under 15°.
In previous marathons I’d gone out too quickly and dropped off, whereas this time I stuck with 4.45 pacers for first 10km then graduated up slowly to 4.30 paces by the halfway mark. Aim was to hang out in sight of those pacers and see where things were with 5km or so to go.
I’d previously struggled with quad cramps at around 30-35 mark, so had salt chews which I took around every 5km, as well as usual gels and bars. However, at around 25km I started getting wicked cramps and just felt like I was running in an oven and couldn’t fully breathe, needing to take stretch and walk breaks throughout. Ended up struggling to a 4.55 finish, which felt very disspiriting as this was the best condition I’d been in for any marathon (5th).
Basically wondering if other people have had similar experience with hot marathons having such a huge impact on the race? Despite knowing that the heat had to have been a factor, I’m still disappointed as I’d one of my worst times after what was definitely my best prep. Is it just a case that the weather was always going to have an impact on my final time, or was there anything I could’ve done to prepare better?
