2024.06.02 07:37 kingofstormandfire This the Top 6 singles of 1971 according to Billboard year-end list. Which one is your favourite?

Despite an impressive showing by Diana Ross, in the end, Simon & Garfunkel won the 1970 is a very decisive victory.
***
BTW, for singles that are credited are Double A-Sides, I’ve decided to just put the most famous song of the pair on the poll.
***
1) “Joy to the World” (Three Dog Night) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVcpKjXYa5c
This is the 2nd of 3 chart-toppers for American rock band Three Dog Night. It was written by Hoyt Axton. The song is a mix of rock and pop with a playful, feel-good vibe. Hoyt Axton wrote the song, originally intended as a part of a children's television program. The song's whimsical and nonsensical lyrics reflect this origin. "Joy to the World" is a cheerful and upbeat song that celebrates happiness and unity. The lyrics are light-hearted and fun, with the famous opening line, "Jeremiah was a bullfrog," setting a playful tone. The song features a lively arrangement with prominent electric guitar, keyboards, and brass. The production is energetic, capturing the band's dynamic performance. Chuck Negron, one of the band's three lead vocalists, sings the lead vocals on this track, delivering a spirited and enthusiastic performance.
Very enjoyable song. I like Three Dog Night quite a bit. A fun band, though basically a covers band.
2) “Maggie May” (Rod Stewart) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlFPDi1B-jM
The first of three solo chart-toppers for Sir Rod Stewart, it was written by Stewart and Martin Quittenton. The song blends elements of folk rock and blues rock. The lyrics of "Maggie May" are semi-autobiographical, recounting a young man's relationship with an older woman. Stewart has said the song is based on his own experience of losing his virginity at a jazz festival. The song features a distinctive acoustic guitar riff, played by Martin Quittenton, along with mandolin played by Ray Jackson of Lindisfarne. The arrangement also includes electric guitar, bass, drums, and Stewart's raspy vocals. "Maggie May" is widely praised for its storytelling, Stewart's emotive vocal performance, and its memorable melody. “Maggie May” was credited as a double A-Side with “Reason to Believe”, both from the album Every Picture Tells a Story. The song has been included in numerous "best of" lists and is considered a classic rock staple.
A monster of a song. Just wow. One of my favourites from this era.
3) “It’s Too Late” (Carole King) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkKxmnrRVHo
This is the sole chart-topper by singer-songwriter Carole King, but as a songwriter, King had written/co-written many Top 10 hits prior to this including several No. 1s. It was billed as a double A-side alongside “I Feel the Earth Move”. Both songs came from her second album Tapestry, which would go on to become one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s, and has been certified Diamond in the US. The music of “It’s Too Late” was composed by Carole King, but the lyrics were written by Toni Stern. Reportedly, the song might be about James Taylor who had dated Stern, and who would score a No. 1 hit of his own covering King’s song "You've Got a Friend”. “It’s Too Late” is a blend of soft rock, pop, and jazz influences. The lyrics deal with the end of a romantic relationship, capturing the bittersweet emotions of accepting that a relationship is over.
Nice song. It’s not my favourite off Tapestry, but it’s a solid song.
4) “One Bad Apple” (The Osmonds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-pUJAWzUk0
The sole-charter by American pop group The Osmonds, a group of brothers who were teen idols in the early 1970s (particularly younger brother Donny Osmond). It was written by George Jackson and is a blend of pop and R&B, with a sound reminiscent of Motown and especially The Jackson 5. In fact, this was to be recorded by The Jackson 5, but The Jackson 5 themselves weren’t impressed and so it wasn’t released. The Osmonds recorded "One Bad Apple" in 1970, with Merrill Osmond providing the lead vocals while Donny Osmond sings part of the main hook. The song is about romantic reassurance. The lyrics tell a story of a boy trying to convince a girl that although she has been hurt by a past relationship ("one bad apple"), she should not let that experience ruin her faith in love. The song features a lively arrangement with upbeat rhythms, harmonised vocals, and an energetic pop sound. The production includes prominent use of strings and brass, adding to its vibrant feel.
People hate this song, and I get it. It's such a Jackson 5 rip off, but I love it. So catchy. I like the Osmonds.
5) “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” (The Bee Gees) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzhmwJI8Bps
The first of nine US chart-toppers by The Bee Gees, this song was written by Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb. The song is a blend of soft rock and pop, with soulful influences. The song was written during a period when the Gibb brothers were reconciling after a brief breakup of the Bee Gees. The lyrics reflect themes of heartache and longing for resolution.
I dunno, I like The Bees Gees a lot, but I find this song painfully boring and unmemorable. They had another song from around this time called "Lonely Days" which went #2 Hot 100 and #1 Cash Box that I think is much much better.
6) "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)" (Raiders) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVxYL2sI1oM
The sole chart-topper by the rock group the Raiders, formerly known as Paul Revere and the Raiders. As Paul Revere and the Raiders, the group had enjoyed multiple Top 40 hits during the mid-to-late-60s, including several Top 10 hits. The song was written by John D. Loudermilk. The song was originally recorded by Marvin Rainwater in 1959 under the title "The Pale Faced Indian," but it did not achieve significant success. The Raiders version however was a No. 1 single. The song's lyrics recount the forced relocation of Native Americans, particularly focusing on the Cherokee's removal from their ancestral lands in the south-eastern United States, which is often referred to as the "Trail of Tears." It serves as a lament for the suffering and loss experienced by the Cherokee people.
I actually really like this song, but I have a feeling most people in this sub won’t.
***
Rounding out the Top 10 is “Go Away Little Girl” (Donny Osmond) (No. 7), “Take Me Home, Country Roads” (John Denver) (No. 8), "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" (The Temptations) (No. 9) and “Knock Three Times” (Tony Orlando & Dawn) (No. 10).
An interesting and eclectic Top 10. Not the best (and not indicative of the behemoth that is 1971 in terms of music quality), but certainly not the worst of the 70s.

2024.06.02 07:27 Correct-Art1763 Young Justice Failsafe absolutely STUNNED me, then and now

I was so excited when it first came out, but to be honest, I'm only loyal to season 1. Know why? I HATE TIME SKIPS! I mean, we were robbed of Robin's amazing laugh after ONE season! If you're a criminal, and you hear that, just......run. Multi-year skips when your protagonists are teenagers have to be handled VERY carefully, but I'll always personally hate them.
But I'm here to talk about, by far, the best episode of the whole show. Like, this episode raised my expectations for the rest of the show.
Failsafe is amazing. The moment I saw John Stewart, THE DEFINITIVE GREEN LANTERN SINCE NOVEMBER 17, 2001, get reduced to atoms, I gasped. I had no idea what the hell was going on, but I was hooked.
Then, not even 20 seconds later, Superman, J'onn, Captain Marvel, and Captain Atom, 4 of their most powerful members......gone, just like that. Then BATMAN is just blown up in his ship!
But what really confused me was......no reaction. Robin just saw his dad killed and he's ready to rock. M'gann sees her uncle killed and she's fine too. I was stunned, and I thought this was just an oversight by the writers. I mean, Robin, that's your DAD!
The tension never fades, as Wolf's killed in front of us. And Superboy supposedly pretends everything's ok. But.......then Artemis is a second too slow. NOW THEY GRIEVE?! NOW THEY GET PISSED?! I was so confused!
As the skies are darkened, the Team regroups with some soldiers at the Hall, and they see the League statues. The mighty Justice League is dead, and Robin says it.
"They're really gone."
Well......YEAH! You're only saying this NOW?! Then as we see J'onn alive and well, the episode throws us a solution, a spark of hope: they're not dead. It was teleportation, not disintegration. But the tension was STILL there! The Bioship is destroyed, and M'Gann and J'onn both feel its death. This only increased my confusion.
But when they storm the mothership, M'Gann, in case they don't succeed, tells Superboy she loves him, and it's really sweet. But when he dies too, J'onn and Robin reveal the truth: it was disintegration. No one's there to be saved. The only thing left to do now is send the invaders to Hell and save what's left. So Kid Flash, having come to terms with this, accepts his and Robin's fate and fights to his last breath. Keep in mind, ROBIN IS A 13-YEAR-OLD KID! That's as old as Percy Jackson in BOOK 2!
Then, M'Gann is too devastated to enjoy their victory, but......it gets worse. Another mothership. Then J'onn's mind is clear, and he stabs her in the chest. I gasped AGAIN! Then, she wakes up, and I sigh with relief. Legit relief. But then, I was worried: was the episode pointless? Was it all for nothing? No stakes? Just another "it was all a dream?"
THEN THE EPISODE SAYS NAH! Suddenly, it all made sense! It was a psychic simulation! This suddenly makes the times of grieving much clearer! The deaths of the Justice League weren't real at the time. But then, M'Gann saw her teammate, her friend, die, and her mind took over, making the Team forget that it wasn't real. And by doing so, it BECAME real! If M'gann was killed in the simulation, they'd be stuck in comas.
Not only were the stakes real, but the trauma too. They DIED! They can't just get over that! Artemis was the least affected since she knew the whole time, but the others? Oh, man. The 3 stars of Failsafe are undoubtedly Robin, Superboy, and M'Gann. Why do I say this? Because of the next episode, Disordered.
Through this exercise, the League discovered something: M'Gann has the strongest telepathic mind they have ever seen. Stronger than J'onn J'onzz himself. This makes M'Gann afraid. She was SOBBING in the arms of the loving, friendly Captain Marvel because she unknowingly caused all this. It's not her fault. How could it be? She could never anticipate something like this happening. Her reactions throughout the simulation really hit me. And afterwards, she became afraid of herself.
Then there's Superboy. He felt great shame because he admits that he was......HAPPY?! It's messed up, but it makes sense. Since his birth, he's been bred and programmed to desire to be Superman. In Failsafe, he finally got that wish. It's like a computer program fulfilling its function. To be the iconic one everyone looks to to save the day, like when Private Jason called him that twice, it was like his own existence became legitimate to him that day. That ALONE made him happy, and he hates that because of HOW it happened! Everyone he loved dead or traumatized, and he felt "at peace."
But my boy Robin gets the crown here. By far the best Dick Grayson of all time, he was at his best here. His therapy session with Black Canary made me drop my jaw. The member trained to be the most secretive is the only one who lays it all out there. He ADMITS that he's traumatized! With such realistic and all-too-real stuttering, he explains to Canary that he doesn't want to be in charge anymore......because he now knows what it's like to be BATMAN. Batman has a darkness that Dick doesn't, and that darkness allows him to put the mission above everything else, including his own friends. Dick doesn't want that. He can't let himself go through that again. Again, he's only 13! He was pulled into this world at the age of 9 because Batman would be damned if he let another Batman be created. Ironically, because of this debacle, because Robin learned what it was like to be Batman......Batman finally succeeded in his mission with Dick.
"I don't wanna be THE Batman, anymore."
Damn it, I'll NEVER create stories THIS clever!😭

2024.06.02 07:06 Present-University73 My (45m) boyfriend just told me (30f) he didn't want to be with me anymore...am I crazy?

.My boyfriend (45M) and I (30F) went out for a very nice dinner for his birthday. Everything was going swimmingly, he told me how much he loved me, etc. On the uber ride home, I saw him looking at texts from a name I see that calls him frequently, but he'll ignore the call if I am around. I see him texting that name, and if I go over to him, he quickly exits out the messaging app. I had my suspicions that it was this girl we both worked with--- about a year ago, his phone rang at about 9:30 PM. He was in the bathroom. I leaned over to see whose phone was ringing as both were charging next to one another, and it was his. No biggie. Told him, "hey, your phone was ringing" when he came back. He freaked out, asked me why I was going through his phone (I didn't, I merely looked over the edge of the bed to see if it was my phone or his), I explained this to him. He immediately said "Oh it was Jim (his friend), Jim told me he'd call me" after his outburst (I knew it wasn't Jim because Jim is in his phone as Jim and not the obscure name I saw, as I've been around when Jim calls). One day when I was in his car, his phone rang via Bluetooth and I said "oh you can answer" and he said "I don't know who's number that is". The number looked familiar, so I memorized it in my head, wrote it down on my phone. I googled it, BINGO, the woman we used to both work with (we got together after we both left our company, this woman left about a year before we both did). So I had my suspicions this was who he was being weird about. I saw the same behaviors going on with that name in his phone for the next few months. About two months ago, I went to dinner with two old co-workers. They brought up that woman, and said another co-worker had said she had a drug addiction and lost her job. I brought it up to my boyfriend, very nonchalant like, "David and Brittany had told me that Rachel has a drug problem and lost her new job, isn't that crazy? Susan had called them and told them" and he had a weird look on his face, and said "Ehhhhh I don't think so" and I said "oh yeah, you guys still talk, right?" and he said "I haven't talked to her in a long time, so maybe David and Brittany are right." So I kept that in my back pocket, watching his behaviors with the texting the unknown name on his phone, which continued on: hiding the phone when texting that number whenever I got close to him.TODAY: Nice dinner, great time. In the uber back. I look over. He's looking at a photo of Rachel, the girl who I believed he was texting. I look away, and after about two minutes he goes something is wrong, what's wrong. I was very calm and said:"I looked over and saw a picture of Rachel on your phone. Not a big deal, but what sticks out to me is that when I brought up what David and Brittany said a couple months ago, you had said you hadn't talked to her in a long time...so can you help me understand why you may have said that?"He then said "It was a group text, we are in a group text so I never spoke to her directly." I then said "No, I saw that it was just a singular text-- the name Zeke---and not a group text."He was silent the whole ride back. When we got home, I asked him again, and he lashed out."you don't even know what was going on, both Susan and Rachel wanted me and I was in the middle. and David wanted Rachel but Rachel wanted me---you have no idea what was going on. Also, I knew that she didn't lose her job because Michael (another ex coworker) ran into her at her new job and took a photo with her. And sent in our group text. And I said I hadn't talked to her in a long time because I only text with her, not talk. I don't want to be with you any more, give me a week and I'll be out of here."None of this made any sense, so I said so. He freaked out and started yelling at me, and he didn't want to be around me or with me, and he'd be out in a week. I then said OK, if you don't want to be with me, you can leave now. And he did.I am trying to understand what just happened-- I am assuming he has been cheating on me with her, maybe not physically but emotionally--so reddit, your thoughts? Was I fair in my suspicions and my confrontation--- is he cheating on me?

2024.06.02 06:43 TheApolloZ 23M, looking for long-term friendships

Hello, I hope you're having a good time! I'm looking for someone whom I can have conversations with in the long term but if you want to have a short conversation, that's okay as well. Who knows if we get along well and end up being in touch for years? I prefer talking to people within the age range of 18–25 as I have talked to older people all my life but it's fine if you're a bit older than the specified range.
Please read the post entirely before you decide to send a chat request or message. It will take about five minutes or more depending on your reading speed. You may skip this post if you can't bother reading it. This is only for people who love reading and typing lengthy messages, because that's the only way we can communicate with each other when we don't get enough time to have real-time conversations. I am mentioning this only to save your time; I don't mean to come off as rude. The messages I send can be way longer than this post if we happen to click, and people who can't read the post entirely won't bother reading my messages properly either, and that would be a waste of time and energy for both individuals. You might have seen my posts very often in case you visit this subreddit on a regular basis, but I assure you that I only post so frequently because I don't receive any responses—and when I do, they're from people who either can't hold a conversation for long or message me without reading the post at all.
A bit about me:
I'm interested in all types of visual and aural arts. Writing, drawing, listening and composing music, watching movies and photography (I'm an amateur though) are my interests and hobbies. I'm broke so I'm not a gamer. I do have a fairly powerful PC but with a low-end graphics card I play older games on. Nothing online though.
Speaking of music, I'm mostly interested in Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B/Soul (both classic and modern). I like listening to The Weeknd, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Sade, Aaliyah, The Isley Brothers and various artists from the 70s to late 2000s generally. I'm a movie buff so I can recommend you movies too if you're looking for something to watch. And yeah, I LOVE MEMES! Keep sending them all day and I won't complain!
I'm an ambivert (more of an introvert though). My MBTI is INFP-T if that matters. I'm looking for people who are willing to share the events which occur in everyday life, joy and sorrow, secrets, deepest fears, and build a genuine connection over the course of time. I'll be there for you throughout the good and bad times; I expect the same from you too. I am active on most social media platforms. We can move on to other platforms once you feel comfortable with me.
Now here's the important stuff:
I would appreciate it if you don't just send me a "Hi/Hello/Hey." Introduce yourself; the longer the introduction is, the better. Makes room for questions. Instead of simply stating that you like movies/music, mention what genres you prefer. Makes the conversation more interesting. Please put effort into maintaining the conversation. Ask plenty of questions with the data I have provided in this post so I know that you're actually interested in getting to know me as well rather than simply talking about yourself. I feel like an interviewer if the conversation is one-sided. Don't bother messaging me if you're not naturally inquisitive and just want to talk about yourself all the time. I won't respond to any short messages (4-8 lines). If you want to leave, don't ghost me without stating a reason if we've been talking for longer than two weeks. Just tell me that we can't get along if you think the conversation isn't going anywhere. I won't get offended.
Your gender, race, sexuality don't matter at all, but tell me your age and gender just so that I know who I am talking to and follow social etiquette. I absolutely love lengthy messages; I don't feel overwhelmed by them. So bonus points if you're capable of typing lengthy messages. I'm a person who would spend an hour(s) typing a well-thought lengthy message rather than having small talk in real time. I type as if I'm writing a letter. I can chat in real time as well, it's just that I don't get much time throughout the day and I'm active at odd hours. And time zones exist, unfortunately. Short messages or long messages, the amount of time and energy you have to spend will be the same anyway.
Please don't message me if you're just looking for people to kill your boredom and later abandon them. No, I'm not being rude. I have had enough. Those one word or one sentence responses lead nowhere. Also, if you're someone who wishes to stay anonymous forever even after talking for a considerable amount of time, I'm not the person you're looking for. This is an important thing to keep in mind. I am open to revealing my identity if we get along well so I would appreciate it if you're open minded as well. But that doesn't mean I want you to reveal your identity in the very beginning itself. However, I won't wait more than three months just for you to reveal your identity if we communicate regularly. In fact, it's a great feat to converse for longer than a month on the internet. I personally think that anonymity acts as a barrier in any kind of relationship. I would love to meet you in real life at some point in the future if we get along and stay in touch for a considerable amount of time.
In the past 12 years, I have talked to several people around the globe on different platforms who wished to stay anonymous. I had conversations with them for months and years, but they always considered me as a stranger and eventually left. I'm tired of being a disposable person. What's the point of having a friend without a name and a face? I have no reason to trust someone who doesn't trust me. You can call me picky; I indeed am. I don't want to have conversations where both parties only ask each other about hobbies and interests and leave once they feel there's nothing in common. That's the reason why I asked you to cover those topics when introducing yourself. And just because I have already talked about my interests and hobbies doesn't mean there's nothing more to know about me. Human connection is a lot more than mere interests and hobbies.
I would love to interact with someone who doesn't treat me like an AI chatbot and acknowledges the fact that I'm an actual human being with feelings and emotions beyond the digital screen who spends his valuable time and energy to communicate with people—precious time and energy that I'll never be able to get back. I understand that these connections over the internet are very fragile and I can't control things the way I want so if you're interested feel free to send me a message anyway. I enjoy having conversations with people even if only for a while. Sometimes people you expect to be in touch for years leave you while the ones you don't expect to be in touch for long end up staying for a long time. Nothing is set in stone. All I ask you is to not leave without notifying me. Yes, I know whatever I have expressed so far sounds contradictory, but that's how life works, right? Reminds me of this quote by Japanese author Haruki Murakami:
"Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another? We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?"
While I agree with the fact that it's not possible to get to know a person entirely, I think connecting with another human being is a beautiful experience in itself. In the end, we are just lost souls yearning for human connection; searching for people who will provide attention and affection and accept us as we are. If you're still reading this, it means you are a good listener and reader. Message me if we have similar interests or ideals and if you think we can be potential friends. It doesn't really matter whether we have similar interests or not though, I would love to have you as a friend.
There's a lot more to learn about me but I would rather tell you all that when we begin interacting with each rather than typing it all here. Feel free to ask me any questions. I'm open to having a conversation with people around the globe any time. I'm also very patient so I don't mind waiting for weeks or a month if the messages are lengthy. I understand that you might find all of this intimidating, but there's nothing about me to be afraid of. My messages can be lengthy, but only if you reciprocate my efforts and keep on adding stuff to the text. I know that this post sounds like a contract. I know I sound very serious but that's not entirely true. In fact, I can crack jokes sooo bad that will make you laugh. Thank you for spending your precious time reading this post. What are you waiting for? Text me right now! Feel free to message me even if you're seeing this several hours or days later.
Have a nice day/night and I hope you find someone to develop a strong bond with in case I'm not the person you're looking for. Take care of yourself and always stay hydrated!

2024.06.02 06:38 shadowobsessed Shade Identities

(Surface spoilers) After fighting through the City of Ephyra, I noticed that all of the smaller, round Shades there represent the ghosts of the dead sheep. :( And then, after perishing on the Surface and returning to the Crossroads, I realized that Melinoë's room is surrounded by dead animal spirits.
After I fought through the Surface fully for the first time, I also came back with a little group of animal Shades trailing me. Does anyone have an idea on why animals are drawn to her, even in death? Do they represent the souls of Familiars past, maybe like ones her family may have had, watching over her? I'm purely speculating here, haha. Pictures for examples.

2024.06.02 06:23 Fantastic_Subject309 I need help…

Hi me 20(m) and my ex gf 20(f) broke up with me the week after Valentine’s Day. We still stayed in contact without each other and a or two later she told me she wanted to get back together. But that didn’t happen for a multitude of reasons one me being tired of her posting and tagging a guy I told her I wasn’t too fond of but her excuse was that they had a brother sister relationship and are just friends and will always be. Another reason I forgot she was filming for her college’s basketball team so she wasn’t on her phone for most of the day so I texted her “r u dead?” Because she didn’t snap me back from last night and she wasn’t active of either IG or tiktok. I didn’t even mean anything by asking it, I meant it in a joking manner because her manager said the same thing to her a few days prior. But she got super mad at me and said that’s that behavior that’s pushing her away. Which was extremely heartbreaking to hear bc it wasn’t meant to be taken like that.
So after that “incident” she got upset bc I was reposting stuff on tiktok about narcissist people/behaviors. And she took great offense to that and told me to stop trying to convince her that she’s a narcissist but… I’m not the first person to call her one. Her BEST FRIEND did a pros and cons of dating her and one of her cons was that she was a narcissist. Orrrrrr when her SISTER made a video about her (ex gf) redflags and one of them was that she was a narcissist. Orrrrr the fact she has “ narcissistic, but nonchalant” in her bio of one of her private tiktoks. Orrrrr her old college roommate making a story posting saying “were narcissistic asf”. Personally I’ve never had a person let alone multiple people call me a narcissist especially but people that know me the best and longest but ig I’m the bad guy for saying it…
And while I was on one of the private tiktoks I would a post of a photo dump posting two days before we hung out for the first time and it had multiple pictures of her and her ex that she broke up with in October (we hung out for the first time on Jan. 3rd. So I bring it up to her and basically she proceeds to lie and manipulate me into thinking I’m weird to even bringing this topic up. Mind you the only reason I did was being it was bothering me too much not knowing the truth behind the photos and I just wanted some form of reassurance so I could gts but instead the situation got flipped back on me because she was upset I brought it up and that I didn’t blindly trust what she was saying. Her exact words were “ you should just give me the benefit of the doubt sometimes”. But turns she “cheated” on the ex that was in the photo dump. And I say “cheated” for multiple reasons. One being after her and the previous ex broke up in October she told him she wanted to get back together with him now she denies that conversation ever happened but her ex told me otherwise and at this point, I believe him more than her. But he told me she asked him to come stay with her in her apartment (just them two) because she didn’t wanted to be alone. Or when he told me they hung out frequently after they both were home from college. Or when he told me they spent Christmas together or when he told me the last time they hung out before I came into the picture was two days before me and her hung for the first time. So he kinda sounds like he’s telling the truth here.
But the real kicker is that she texted me explaining the whole situation and she said she KNEW he still liked her like that but when I slid into her dm’s around Dec. 13th she didn’t mention anything about an ex. So we hung out the 3rd of January I went they we went out to eating then shopped a bit and went back to her place. After I left she told me her ex pulled up on her and cussed her about and she was telling me about how crazy he was because she said she made it clear to him they were just friends now. But what I know now from her whole explanation she gave me she straight up lied to him about what she was doing that day. She told him she was going to with friends not that she was with another guy or anything. And her excuse was “I didn’t feel comfy telling him what I was doing”…crazy ik
But that brings me to my point. We dating for almost a year and when he broke up and I unadded her not even two months later she’s soft launching some new guy. But one of her private tiktoks and instagrams I’m still posted on it multiple times. And only the private tiktok she likes my reposts even though we haven’t talked since March 20th.
I also don’t want to sound conceited in anyway, but the new guy kinda looks like me slightly.
So if anyone actually read all of this, can you please help me get over this? Or think about all of this in a more healthy way.

2024.06.02 06:06 spindacolors pancake bum

I used to have a normal bum. quite big actually, I was a very athletic person and genetically blessed. I don't know if that's the right place to talk about it but it also represents a trauma for me, cause my mother starved me for years and as a consequence I lost all of my bum muscles. after that big bums became kind of mandatory. I tried several years of targeted exercise (weighted squats, deadlifts, Bulgarian something I don't even remember all the names), exercise in general (I'm a surfer and I play tennis almost daily) everything else grew but my bum. I'm not kidding it's probably the ugliest bum ever seen in history: it's flat, full of cellulite, kind of deformed, with culote de cheval and fat over my hips that give it a "heart shape" but even worse. Moreover I really enjoy going to the beach and my dream was to live on the ocean but now I'm just always self aware about it and I cannot enjoy it anymore. I just wanted to accept it because I think I passed 10 years trying to grow it with no results at all. I even went to a surgeon specialized in bums but he told me there was no surgery for me and that my muscles were kind of dead, that even exercise was a waste of time. the problem is that my husband keeps liking pictures of perfect buttocks and only those. even if they're friends of his he only likes the buttocks pictures. then he started telling me I had to work on it and put me on daily exercise again (with no gain again) I feel so worthless in this society and now that my husband cannot accept my bottom I don't know if I can. anyone else having the same issue? is there anything we can do? sorry for the rant but I don't really know where to share my feelings

2024.06.02 06:04 failure_as_a_sperm Is this place legit?

Is this place legit?
Is this place legit? This store asks for full pre payment which some other stores who sales shirts as cheap as 300 don’t ask for so I was actually a bit spectacle about their legitimacy as online scam stores has now become completely indistinguishable. I mean there is no review in site, their facebook page is kinda dead with not so engagement at all, there is no extra picture of products. I was just looking for this specific coloured drop shoulder but markets in my town’s don’t have it ( I live in Hobiganj ). So was searching the shirt with a reasonable price and quality and found this. I would appreciate a lot if you guys help me a bit. 😃

2024.06.02 06:02 Moskeeto93 Is EA finally starting to understand that their games are better without their launcher being forced on us with their games on Steam?

The following games on Steam do not require the EA launcher if obtained on Steam:
It Takes Two just removed the EA launcher from the Steam version while all the other games in this list never had it. Does this mean EA is starting to understand that it makes for a better UX? Or is it just up to the discretion of the developers if they want to include it? I'm really hoping this becomes a trend with all their future titles. As a Steam Deck user, this extra, third-party launcher just adds an extra level of frustration and possible point of failure that serves no purpose to the end user.
One of the main things that holds me back from buying EA games is their launcher that behaves as a third-party to the Steam platform. If I buy a game from the Steam store, that is my first-party platform just like if I were to buy a third-party game for a home console.
I buy games on Steam because I like the features that it provides me so third-party solutions that do the same thing but worse are just unnecessary bloat. Why do EA games need to use EA's cloud service when the Steam Cloud already does the same thing? Why would I care about achievements on their launcher when I'm already playing on Steam? Why do I need to have an entirely separate friends list to invite friends to a game? Why do all of these third-party launchers have overlays that aren't controller-friendly? If I use Big Picture Mode I can use the Steam overlay with my controller to invite a friend to a game but if I'm forced to use another launcher, I then have to pull out my keyboard with a trackpad on it to do the same thing.
Anyways, EA, please remove your launcher from the Mass Effect trilogy! And please allow us to choose which from the trilogy are installed by using the DLC system like the Master Chief Collection does.

We want new characters!
This is a picture of Blood Spider-Man (Michael Bingham) who was trained by Taskmaster to kill Peter Parker and Daredevil. It would be cool to have him in game as well as other mainstream characters like Cpt Carter, Morph, Hallow’s Eve, Agatha Harkness, Murdocks, and Spider-Man Noir. Please at least give us 1 new character per month.

2024.06.02 05:48 _Mad_Maddy My Take on the Indigo Park Lore Part 2!

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 6th, 2023 (apparently, the creator confirmed the game takes place in 2023, so, that means that Ed arrives on October 7th, 2023, and the last person to enter park left on October 7th, 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.

2024.06.02 05:34 WildSeason8229 Help Needed!

Help Needed!
I don’t know if this is the right sub to post to but please tell me the right one if this isn’t!!
So there’s what I think to be a bunny burrow in my yard. About 2 days ago my cat was outside (he usually just eats grass and what not) and we left him alone for all of 5 seconds and we hear what sounds like a dog toy. But really, he had a baby bunny in his mouth. Now I’m not sure if that one is the one we found dead. So we got it out of his mouth and I’m not sure where it went. But I went looking for the bunny to see if it survived and a few meters away from where my cat bit one, was a dead one. There didn’t appear to be a bite mark in it so I found that strange.
After 2 days (today) I went out and found another dead baby bunny by the same tree. I have no clue what they’re dying from now because my cat hadn’t been out since then.
Flash forward to now (the same day but night time) and my cat saw a bunny outside from our patio door. So I just watched and it hopped away. I went to go look where it went and under our green electrical box thing was a small what I think to be burrow. It only seemed big enough for a few tiny bunnies. I’m assuming less than 25cm in. Outside of this burrow by our electrical box were two dead baby bunnies. I saw another bunny in the hole and I wasn’t sure it was alive or not. I got a stick and lightly lifted up the grass covering the burrow. Inside of it was one live bunny laying on top of another dead one. This was the bunny I assumed my cat saw tonight.
So, there have been 5 dead bunnies so far. A few minutes before I looked in this burrow I saw (I think) the mother rabbit hopping away from our yard. I didn’t see her find any of the rabbits and I’m assumingg she can’t find them because 5 have died so far.
I bet this is the last one alive since there are usually 5-7 born at a time. Our grass was recently sprayed with pesticide so perhaps this is what’s killing them?
Sorry this is very long but what should I do? Should I take the last one in (I know it’s best to leave them be but I think this one will die too if I do nothing) or something else? I think they are old enough to be left by themselves from the size of them but seeing their mother today made me think otherwise.
I took a picture of one if this helps anything. Should I call someone, help direct it to the mother in some way or anything else I can do to help? Any advice is appreciated thank you!!

2024.06.02 05:08 novgarr87 Yesterday was 10 years since my baptism. Was a hard day.

And today is 10 years since my confirmation and "Aaronic priesthood" ordination. I know that sometimes this happens. But any kind word would be welcome.
10 years ago. Southernmost mission in the world. It was a cold, rainy day like today. I was super excited, I chose my baptism date. I was 26. Everyone loved it. I cried of happiness and hugged they guy who baptized me with uncontrollable tears.I felt I was finally finding God. There was a wonderful reception aftwerwards. I faithfully served many callings.
Yesterday I talked (for the first time in 3 years) to the missionaries, asking for the name of their mission president. After they answered, I thanked them, and blocked them.
My resignation letter is ready to be sent, and I wanted to direct it not only to the branch president, but also the district president and mission president. I was ready to send it yesterday, making a symbolic closure. But somehow I couldn't.
I felt paralyzed. At the same time I remembered some fond memories, the sense of community, I contemplated the rubble of the building of beliefs that collapsed. I see like corpses the Book of Mormon, the signs and tokens, the temple pictures, the sealing certificate, the Jesus with arms wide open, my 13 dusty ties hanging in my closet, like those dead, dusty arms, legs, feet that can be seen in the rubble of bombed buildings, like in the war news.
And each of these metaphorical remains are experiences, books, memories, words, meetings, people I lost, all those who inhabited that building in ruins, and who accidentally or voluntarily disappeared along with it when it collapsed. It collapsed because the self-proclaimed architect poorly designed it for his benefit, because the foremen didn't follow the instructions -also given for the benefit of the construction engineer- and the workers never knew how to build. And some foremen and workers acted together to damage some pillars of the building. 🏚️
Those remains are also those good memories that are vanishing little by little. Memories of a world and a reality already empty, and the pain of disappointment and disillusionment - still stinging sometimes-... But also memories of the shock from discovering that nothing was true and practically nothing it was worth it. The pain of the loss, although beneficial, is no less painful sometimes. 💔
Cried a little. It's been the second biggest grief of my life.
But although it has been difficult to remove the rubble from the land, in the small space that I have been able to clear slowly, I have built a small cabin -much narrower than that large building with a lot of space- where I have lived much happier than in the first part of those past 10 years 😊😊😊😊 and the sun ☀ has shone brightly after the storm, and I don't need artificial lights anymore.
But as in every grief, when such a loss has been suffered, memories and longings come on significant dates, while having the full awareness that it's gone forever.
Days like yesterday hurt.

thousands on the beach
hey guys, new to this sub so apologies if I am not doing something right!
I’m currently on a lake in northern Minnesota USA. Heard a loud buzzing and went to check - hundreds of thousands of bugs both dead and alive washed up on the beach. Anyone know what kind of bug this is?
Sorry for the poor video quality - it is night here and they were attracted by the light on my phone so I was kinda swarmed.
It wouldn’t let me post pictures and the video so if necessary I can run back over to take a still picture! (but would prefer not to as they do swarm a bit lol)

2024.06.02 05:01 Toa_of_Memes FBNXT: Book the Women’s World Championship after Reah Ripley’s Injury Part 2

Shayna Baszler lifts her belt high over the broken form of Reah Ripley, who lays over blood spatter,
painting the ring like a Jackson Pollock painting. Shayna, her blood dried in the Cleveland heat into a dull, flaky mask, slides out of the ring as the next matches promos start.

“Y’know, a year ago I thought I’d never actually hold this thing…” Baszler states in the SummerSlam post show presser, Triple H at her side. “... But it feels pretty damn good that it’s actually mine. No disrespect to Reah, of course.” Shayna slides her hands over her hair, catching specks of dried blood, sending them to the floor. “But I think it really speaks to how stale this division got under the previous… administration. Like I’m one of the best damn grapplers in this industry, It’s about damn time I get my due.”
-Monday Night Raw
Reah Ripley sits in Gorilla, fuming. At the top of the hour, Mami enters the arena, not even waiting for her music to cue. Her shoulder still sore and not moving quite right sings out in pain as she slips into the ring, mic in her hand. The former champion says the first thing that comes to her mind.
“Shit.” The crowd oohs and ahs at a swear word, but Reah doesn’t have time to wait. “I mean, really Shayna? I gave you the opportunity to hold this. I GAVE you your opportunity, your ‘due’ as you called it. And when I came back from injury, instead of giving me back what you were BORROWING, you stab me in the back?” Reah’s voice cracks a bit. The WWE universe is eerily quiet, giving Reah the space she needs to get this out.
“YOU WERE MY FRIEND, SHAYNA. But now, now that you’ve gone from fighting nobodies in bingo halls to holding the greatest prize in this company, you’re too good for me?” Reah lashes out, Michael Cole correcting her by stating “Masha Slamovich isn’t a nobody, Reah” on commentary. This is when Shayna’s music hits, and the Queen of Spades enters the ring with her new hardware. The two stare down, clearly teasing their next match.
The next few weeks go by with very little change between the two. Reah and Shayna trade barbs on the mic, one particular instance being after Shayna’s first defense of her belt, being against Natalya at a house show, with Shayna calling Reah a “Dollar Tree Chyna Knockoff”. Reah responds to this by spiking Shayna in the head with a chair. At Bash in Berlin, their blowoff match is set as a Submissions Count Anywhere match by Adam Pearce a couple weeks before the PPV. The week before the PPV, the two are set to sign contracts to make it official and sanctioned.
-Monday Night Raw: Go Home before Bash in Berlin
Shayna and Reah sit across from each other in the ring for their official contract signing. Accompanied by Zoey Stark, Shayna sits cool and almost aloof. Reah, however, untethered from Dominik Mysterio, fumes with her singular goal to regain her crown and her trust in herself.
“Yknow, Reah, it’s funny. You piss and moan about doing all this work but every time we’ve met in the ring recently, you’ve had to use chairs and shit to put me down.” Shayna gets booed here, as Reah lifts the mic to her lips. “Baszler, you think you got where you are with hard work? I've been here for years on the top. Hell, didn’t you get here before me?” The crowd pops as Shayna is visibly flustered. Shayna, instead of letting this get to the best of her, puts pen to paper, as does Reah. The two lock eyes before Raw goes off the air.
-Bash in Berlin
Shayna Baszler(c) vs Reah Ripley (Submissions Count Anywhere)
As Shayna enters the arena, she is immediately blasted in the spine with a chair by Reah, and the bell is rung. Shayna tanks this hit and turns with a quick thrust kick as Reah lifts her chair. Shayna, the former pro fighter she is, grabs Reah by the back of her neck and throws her into the barricade, sending Mami tumbling.
The match goes on, spilling into the ring, where we get our first submission attempt, being an armbar applied by Shayna Baszler. Reah powers out of the Queen of Spades’ grasp and launches a stiff lariat to the now sitting champion, quickly turning that into a rear naked choke. Shayna stands up and drives Reah’s Tailbone into the mat, slipping out of the hold and the ring.
Reah rolls out to follow, but is quickly thwacked directly on the head with a kendo stick, courtesy of the champion. A small trickle of blood drips down Mami’s forehead as she feels away from the champion, who promptly tackles Reah to the ground to attempt at a kneebar, but Reah rolls away, clipping and splitting Shayna’s lip, adding a bit more crimson to the mix.
Reah turns the corner and scrambles under the apron, to produce a chair, but instead tangles herself in the spare camera cords left under the ring in case of a wire malfunction. She does, however, use the heavy metal ends of these cords to whip the champion, eventually working her way to locking in a dirty STF, using the mic cables to try and choke the champion out. The sweat on the challengers palms, however, make her lose her grip on the cables, allowing Shayna to escape and slip away, behind the challenger.
Reah, in her hubris, doesn’t disentangle herself from the spare camera and microphone cords that were strewn about after the scramble for chairs, and as Shayna pulls her prey in like a spider, Reah, for the first time in a long time, yelps out in fear as Shayna locks in The Kirifuda Clutch. Reah fights, but succumbs to the pain and lack of bloodflow.
Shayna lets go, raises her hand in victory, and is immediately interrupted by Women’s Money in the Bank winner, Chelsea Green, who decides to cash in.
Do I even need to say it?
Chelsea Green -Fucking Dies- gets rocked be a Queens Suplex, hereby losing her Money in the Bank cash-in, resulting in two victories in Berlin for the Queen of Spades, Shayna Baszler.
Backstage, however, a new challenger lies in wait. Lurking in the shadows, a disgraced hero, reborn in the ashes of irrelevance.
Nobody a sane champion dares to Cross.

2024.06.02 04:55 True_Spell3438 Partner Search!!!! (M4A)

Howdy l've been role-playing and writing in general for at least a decade. I am a Male who can play male and female characters. I have original ideas all over and a lot of Fandoms I'm in, which I'Il include below. I'm looking for OCXOC. Every character must be 18+ I have plenty of original characters and ideas along with fandom plots.
For original ideas, i like horror and apocalypse, Action-adventure with action and depending romance. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and Tentacles, and l even have my own idea set up in modern times dealing with vampires and hunters and all of that i also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like old-school slasher films and space sci-fi horror similar to the Alien Franchise.
Now on fandoms! To get some other things down, l only play OC. The anime fandoms i like are Jojo's, Chainsaw Man, Naruto, JJK, Soul Eater, and more. I'm well versed in the Jojo's, Naruto, and JJK, and soul eater fandoms, though it's been a while since ï've stopped keeping up with soul eater. Other fandoms im in include Percy Jackson, Call of Duty, Marvel, and DC.
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character. These are very thorough and usually consist of names, backgrounds, and personalities, along with an in-depth look on appearance. More so on appearances, I don't usually use picture references, but I will if you would like me to.
The types of characters I write are the lone wolf type that has some sad past, which leads them to potentially go off the rails and gain a villain arc.I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attracted as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though.
I love seeing the characters go past theurge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others' lineage or upcoming I also love good written trauma moments. Like character death's, moments of pain and strife only to see the characters to deal and either be consumed or overcome them. I tend to either come up with original ideas for these scenes or use anime scenes as inspiration with narrative tweaks.
REQUIREMENT
I think my two biggest requirements are creativity and good pacing. Like any story, I feel these two things are very necessary to make a good story. Now, by Creativity, I don't mean you need to bring absolute craziness into the story, but abilities, character etc need to have some good genuine thought put into them. Along with that comes good pacing, which means I don't personally care about response length, and mine will vary from scene to scene accordingly.
I'm pretty much done if you have any questions. I'm here, and I'd love to hear back from you in chat the password is your favorite color. Supply it in chat only.

2024.06.02 04:46 PlatinumRooster The Final(s) Nail In The Coffin - A perpetual decline for an amazing game, and concerns about Nexon.

TL;DR: Shooters have notoriously had a difficult time staying alive while under Nexon's banner.
Go ahead and spam your downvotes, but if you're someone that actually likes to engage in conversation, I urge you to read on.

Intro -- Personal

For starters, The Finals is my favorite FPS game to come out in the last 5 years. I've played since the second CBT and have loved just about every second of it. Prior to my time with The Finals, I was an Apex Legends nerd since release. The pro match hacking incident in Apex Legends is what pushed me over the edge; an edge that I was already barely hanging onto after 3+ years of awful decision-making, balancing, bugs, and tone-deaf MTX offerings. And going even further back 13-ish years (my time with League of Legends), I played Combat Arms for about 4 years and ran a very successful Guild.
Keep Combat Arms in mind for a little later.

The Final(s) Nail In The Coffin

HYENAS
At the time of the first The Finals trailer, HYENAS had been running in closed testing for about 8 months and was luke warm, to say the least. I actually find it very eerie how similar the HYENAS and The Finals were in terms of theming: heisters/contestants fighting for cash in arenas and needing to 'Cash Out'. HYENAS was a game I had on my radar for a bit and was semi-excited to tell my friends about because Apex Legends was in a really rough position and was growing stale in it's growth - we were looking for something else. It had some interesting movement mechanics, which myself and my friends were enamored by in Apex Legends, but nothing too crazy. I was hopeful. After about 2 testing runs, I phased out of HYENAS pretty hard and lost interest as it wasn't really what we were hoping it would be.
Breaking Convention
Fast forward to that 8-month mark, and the trailer for The Finals launches. It's this over-the-top explosive FPS with some crazy arena gimmicks, and holy shit it was pretty. The destruction was incredible, and the developers were touting server-side destruction so that it would be consistent for all players. The gameplay and graphics looked so familiar, and as it turned out, it was made by a bunch of ex-DICE devs. Count me in. Oh, and these were the same cats that released that short but impressive looking trailer for their other game Arc Raiders? Exceptionally promising pedigree, and an already promising duo of upcoming projects to boot. Couldn't be more excited. However... to this day, I don't know if I was getting struck by the Mandella Effect, but I swear I didn't see Nexon's publisher tag in the first few trailers. In any case, by the end of my first beta test, I was well aware and to say I was concerned would be an understatement.
The Good
Embark have done a phenomenal job at creating something unique in a market of Battle Royales and old titans slapping each other with wet noodles on bi-annual cycles. The Finals is insanely unique. Whereas a lot of games that try to break conventions like this tend to have iterations across many years and multiple development studios up to an eventual peak, the formula of The Finals feels like the final iteration of a genre that has never existed. Performance is top notch, the game does what it needs to do graphically and still has additional bells and whistles, and it had a near flawless release (all things considered). Were you to ask me, I could not imagine another game like The Finals existing in it's current exceptionally polished state. The next game like The Finals, whenever it comes out, will likely be exceptionally different. However...
The Bad
Lightning eventually breaks out of the bottle and disappears forever. The Finals, in all of its game design competency, has major issues for lasting in a market like today's and thankfully, for once, it's not actually due to it's MTX implementation and a greedy publisher (I say that cautiously, more on that later). No - the issue that The Finals has and why it's on a trajectory for shuttering is that it has almost zero skill expression. Let me explain.
Were The Finals released 12-ish years ago, it'd be a behemoth of an IP by now and likely would have changed the trajectory of the market in terms of player and audience capture. What do I mean by that? Well, lets look at games 10+ years ago - specifically FPS'. What was the primary appeal and objective? The appeal was an easy to pick-up game which allowed you to get into the action almost immediately. The objective? Click heads faster than your opposition. Game design around that time was rather linear in how it delivered the objective mechanism to the player. Give player gun, player click button; happy player. Competitive games have all existed, but competition now is vastly different.
Today, skill expression is the name of the game. It's not enough to click heads the fastest - that's not how you get your high anymore.
For DayZ, it was a masterful bait and deception. For PUBG, it was about maneuvering long before your opponent did and mastering weapon control. For Fortnite, it was about 'cranking 90s' and building the most optimal structure AROUND your opponent. For Overwatch, it was about chaining a series of abilities together into a combo that 6 players couldn't predict. For Apex Legends, it's about mastering movement in such a way that your opponent gets whiplash. Hell, even in Counterstrike - a game about holding angles - it's about mastering grenade throws.
The Finals... does none of that. You're not baiting anyone around fixed objectives. You're not out maneuvering when spawns are fixed. While structures exist around you, they serve more as an element of chaos than necessarily for control. There's no abilities to string together in some wombo-combo. Grenades are static and don't have a lot of physical attributes to facilitate against the environment like physics. And lastly, and this one hurts me the most because I was absolutely a sweaty try-hard in Apex Legends that spent hours in the shooting range practicing; while there is speed and movement in the game, you're not breaking the game's engineering to manipulate your movement in unintended ways - ways that become SO common... that the developer themselves puts those exploits in future season trailers for the game making them canon mechanics.
In other words, the skill ceiling is about as high as the desk players sit at to play the game. If you can move a mouse or a controller and click buttons, you're in. You just need to get familiar with the maps and weapons and... that's about it. :/
The Ugly
Don't believe me? Lets get numerical. Go look at Twitch stats for The Finals. Now, Twitch isn't an arbiter of truth in terms of a game's performance metrics, but it shows what players are watching. I'll save you the click: The Finals (at the time of writing) is the 215th most watched game. It's a whole 20 rows down on the front page. Now, players love watching high-skill play, but this also shows that even casual viewers still prefer casual games over The Finals. There is no external appeal. As much as I love this game, I'm not above a good joke, so I just wanted to highlight the irony of The Finals being a gameshow... and not being very popular as a show. Lol.
With all of the above said, the game is still in a relatively good position at this moment. Despite having very low player counts (no, I'm not the kind of person to spell doom for a game just because it's player count is dropping - it's on a normal interest decline curve), it requiring a low amount of players to start a game at all is a good thing. Unlike a BR or even a normal TDM-like game, you need a minimum of 9 players to start a round. A 9-player minimum goes a long way in expanding the ability to find a game with only 15,000-ish players. It puts it right in the comfy zone of co-op games like DRG or Vermintide. However, competitive games requiring a stalwart player count to be viable unlike co-op, so that's a bit of a problem right now.
So with that being said, it can always improve right? Something can change to bring back players and bolster it's numbers again, right? Well... um...

Nexon -- The Gravedigger

Nexon & Me -- We Don't Talk About It
My relationship with Nexon is long and... tenuous, at best. To me, Nexon is that family member that only ever comes to larger family get-togethers likes weddings or baby showers. They tend to give out some of the highest ticket gift cards but once the party is over, everyone finds that the giftcards are empty or deactivated. Nexon, over the years since it's arrival in the West in 2005-ish, has been flakey at best, and absent at worst. I'm envious of those who don't have a relationship with Nexon like I do because Nexon has truly been that family figure in my life of gaming since Maplestory - I have been apart of just about every major release pre-2016. I'm 31 now - that's over half of my life. Spoilers: It's not all been good. I'm happy to say that I've been able to communicate with a small handful of you over the last 18 months who have shared my same concerns and have the same history with them that I do.
I played Maplestory religiously. I played Mabinogi diligently. I played Kart Riders confusingly. I played Sudden Attack curiously. I played Combat Arms consistently. I played Vindictus excitedly. All of the previous, and a few more, intermixed with other games not made by Nexon - aside from Runescape, Nexon has been with me just as long, if not longer (depending on how you look at it). I know how Nexon is. I know how Nexon works. I know how Nexon behaves. With that said, it doesn't bring me any joy to pop the virgin cherry for some of you who don't know much about them.
Nexon Doing Nexon Things
I'll only be mentioning relevant titles here to paint the picture that needs to be seen.
(From here, the only relevant conversation pertaining to this thread will be about FPS')
With all of the above information about Nexon's history, its fair to surmise that Nexon has a turbulent cycle serving as a publisher for games. This does not bode well for Embark.
I'd like everyone to remember that the people we engage with on a daily basis in the Discord are passionate Embark folk. This critique of Nexon has no bearing on Embark, however it's important to remember that they'll likely be affected, and it's a shame. Even in the best case scenario that The Finals doesn't shut down, but just maintains a low player-count, it will not serve well under Embark. Unfortunately it will affect Embark's pedigree more than it would ever affect Nexon as Nexon has the same priveledge and power of the likes of EA.
I'll be honest, when I first found out Nexon is the primary publishing house behind Embark, Nexon's history of shuttering games wasn't the first thing I thought of. The first thing I actually thought of was it's history of MTX in it's game. We all joke about horse armor and FIFA packs, but Maplestory led the charge of overbearing MTX in the West. Given today's game market, I was admittedly expecting a lot worse in terms of monetization for The Finals. I'm happy to report that I'm pleasantly surprised with it's current state. I still wouldn't say it's TRUE 'micro' like Helldiver's, but it's way better than a lot of other offerings, especially for me personally coming from a game like Apex Legends.
However, Nexon's influence still can't be ignored. You see, with a history like Nexon's you probably expect what we've all witnessed in the market over the last decade, but Nexon doesn't operate that way. They have a penchant of being rather silent during most, if not all controversies. Hell, just in general - controversies aside. Unlike bodies that we're familiar with like EA, Take-Two, Ubisoft and the like, Nexon doesn't speak outside of their games often, if ever. If you were at a public execution, all of the companies we're familiar with would likely be the Officiant at the pulpit. But Nexon? They're the executioner - completely silent and performing a duty without remorse. This is always how they've acted.

Closing Thoughts

I know I said above that the MTX concerns for The Finals kind of faded away for me as it doesn't seem to be an issue we'll have to worry about, and while it's not the main point of this post, I still find it necessary for players to keep in the back of their head, especially since Embark have other games coming out. Were The Finals not to shutter due to low player count, this is my PSA to all players moving forward, whether it be about The Finals or beyond: Nexon cannot be trusted.
"Well, duh! You can't trust companies anyway, nor should you. It's a company. It's incentive is profit."
To that I say, "That's not my point".
In today's market, we're typically used to a controversy happening in the game on top of whatever PR blunders is going on with the organization, but that's not what would really happen here. The Finals doesn't have any issues beyond it's declining player count, but I want everyone to remain aware of Nexon's moves going forward. Just because we don't necessarily see the smoke here doesn't mean that there isn't a fire somewhere else.
So, for your own interest if you'd like to research on your own, here are some topics of concern:
  1. Variety of game closures and sunsets under contentious situations with developers and publishing partners alike.
  2. Account security breaches (I guess a more relevant tangent would be GameGuard. Nexon was the first to widely use GameGuard when Maplestory came to the West. I personally don't care, but I know some others would.)
  3. Various cases of government scrutiny world-wide due to addictive Gachapon implementations.
  4. Speaking of Gachapon (and P2W), their recent suit around manipulating odds for a P2W item outside of it's listed values: https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240312050604
