All Players must be 24+, all characters 18+
Hello! I am looking for a roleplay partner or two to rp with. I play in 3rd person ONLY, paragraph style (3-5+ per post) though my starters can be longer than that! I play POC's for my mains, but NPC's come from all types of backgrounds. I reply at least 4x a week or more if I am not too busy. I enjoy open communication and OOC (though it is not a requirement). Love to world build. I only do F/M pairings with me playing the F role. And play via Discord.
For my partners I prefer semi-lit partners who can write 3-5+ paragraphs per post (3rd person pov), who also enjoys playing nps and contributing to the plot. I don't really care what gender you are in rl as long as you play the M role. I would like someone who can reply 3x a week at least and is open with communication. Don't rush me as I will never rush you.
The Prince & The Pirate Queen
Yc is the crown prince of a holy kingdom who was content with his life as he was next in line to take the throne. Everything was going as it should, he was engaged to a beautiful woman, he had the support of his father and his people. He thought all was well, but it seems his half brother has other plans. His brother hired assassins to dispose of him. Luckily for him the assassin didn't do a good job and missed his vitals before tossing him into the sea to die.
All hope is lost, until he ends up getting pulled up on a ship. On the ship of the cutthroat pirate; Madam Black. Known for her pitch dark hair and eyes. A Ruthless pirate of the sea and skies.
She's none too happy about having someone from the royal family on her ship and tells her crew to toss him back. But desperate the prince tells her if she lets him stay on the ship until he can fully recover he will show her the way to Eosphia. The island of treasures that she had been looking for all this time.
They draw up a contract and agree. But both of them may be hiding a much bigger secret.
Mid to high fantasy, romance, can be as dark or light as we like. More discussions in pms.
Arranged marriage:
The southern territory is known for having monsters on its borders, its harsh winters and its black diamonds. The jewels are rare and controlled by the Duke of the territory, much to the royal family's dismay (and everyone else in the capital). They can't stand the thought of the “barbarians” having something over them. So they devise a plan to arrange a marriage between the “hidden” princess and the southern Duke.
The Duke is unable to refuse. So the two are we'd and he brings the princess to his territory. All this time she did not utter a word, but once they arrive, she smiles at the duke and ask for a contract Claiming to know how to take care of 3 of his problems (One being able to retrieve the ashes of his sister from the noble who killed her) and in return she wants him to protect her for 5 years and then she will give him a divorce since she knows he doesn't want to be married to her.
Will it all be worth it? Or is there something more sinister at play?
Mid fantasy (magic stones and weapons, few people with actual magic). Can flesh it out more in dms.
If interested dm.
I can provide writing samples if needed.

Hi! So I started finding job since last year tas noong January 2024 lang ako nakahanap. Medyo di ko kasi priority last year maghanap dahil may online business ako.
First client na ko noong January eh SMM niya ako. Then long story short pina-SEO ako tas wala pang 2 months of working with her eh hinahanapan ako ng sale. Red flag na talaga noong pinipilit niya ako na dumiretso content creation ng wala man lang research like audit or analysis. Ang pay is $4/ hour tapos 10 hours a week pero iyong results na dinedemand niya eh halos pang-full time na. Pero maybe it's taking me a really long time to do the task kasi first client ko and nagja-juggle ako between SEO tas content creation.
THIS ONE IS LONG
Then ito recently nirefer ako ng current client ko sa parner niya last week. Within the first hours of communicating with him eh he is very rude. Like ganto gist ng conversation namin:
Me: Sorry, I'll fix it. Him: It's common sense, it should be quick and easy. But it's taking you a long time.
Ang mistake ko diyan is nagkamali lang ako name ng file. Hindi niya ako tinatawag na stupid or anything naman. Pero the way na makipag usap siya eh very sarcastic. Then after non sinabihan ko siya na hindi ako kumportable someone watching me work kasi pinapanood niya paano ako gumawa etc. tapos sinabi ko talaga na kulang kami pareho sa tulog kaya I understand kung bakit siya maa-attitude. Then after non di niya na ako pinapanood tas nagawa ko naman task ng mabilisan. Natuwa naman siya tas nag-offer ng pang snacks eneme pero sabi ko saka na.
Then ngayon-ngayon lang tinutulugan ko siya hanapan ng another partner sa work niya. Then naghanap ako tas finorward ko contact niya sa mga nahanap ko para makausap niya. Then sabi niya wala pa raw nagco-contact sa kanya (feeling ko most ng nag-apply eh taga-US eh madalimg araw pa lang kanina sa kanila) tas sabi ko gagawa ako ng another job post ulit tas sabihan ko siya tomorrow.
Then sabi niya bigla "what did you today" then sinabi ko ginawa ko including na pag-work ng 3 hours kanina kasi plan ko mag continue maya-maya after namin mag-usap. Then sabi niya akala niya nagwowork ako 8-10 hours a day. From there it proceeded na wala raw akong time sa job na to and maghanap raw ako kapalit ko.
For the record, he told me from the beginning na I can work for 24 hours and flexible as long na nagagawa ko trabaho ko. Ang tanging job description ko lang is gumawa invoice. Yes yun lang then bigla niya na lang ako pinahanap ng ka-partner niya. So ako naman si tanga naghanap eh ang task ko lang naman is gumawa invoice. More like a data entry job.
I feel really angry and frustrated. Not because of them, pero dahil sa akin. Lagi akong nakaka-attract ng mga gantong clients na laging nampe-pressure to do other things outside my role tapos lowball pa. I feel like I do not communicate myself clearly and establish boundaries early on kaya nate-take advantage ako.
A quick update writing this: Iyong current client naghahanap ng kapalit niya para di na siguro siya magwork doon sa rude niyang partner.

Ok I am literally starting to make myself sick with worry about the temperature in our baby’s nursery once the summer heat gets here. I live in Texas, so it gets HOT. Multiple days of triple digits. We have a 2 story house and naturally the upstairs gets on the warmer side and takes awhile to cool down after a hot day. Even if I keep the thermostat set to 70, it can creep up to 72 on a 91 degree day… how can I keep our baby cool? What’s the best thing to dress her in for sleep? Luckily our HVAC guy is coming out this week for our summer tune up and I plan on asking him the best way to keep the upstairs nursery cool during those hot summer days, but I also know realistically AC can only cool your house down so much when it’s so incredibly hot outside. Advice? Anything to put my mind at ease? The overheating increasing the chance of SIDS terrifies me. She will be 4 months in June.

Some background- I am in a friend group that formed within the last year. We're 5 queer women in our 30s. We hang out as a group probably once a month, and have gone on one trip together in the winter. I know that other women in this group hang out more regularly without me. This has made me insecure at times, but I know that it is ok and normal for different connections to be stronger based on personality and/or place in life.
In terms of my effort- I ask everyone over to hang as a group, and took lead on the winter trip. So more group hangs. I've tried here and there to make plans 1:1 and it hasn't worked out due to schedules. I am more introverted, have a hobby that takes a lot of time, and a have girlfriend, so I haven't pushed it due to time. I also don't want to force anything.
Current situation - There were talks of the friends going out of town for a birthday in the group. Last month I was told it was cancelled and we're all going out the following weekend instead. This weekend I realized almost everyone in the group was on a trip. One woman was not there as she was on a trip with her partner. The trip consisted of the remaining 3 friends, as well as the friend group of one of the girlfriends which I don't know well.
Initially I was a caught of guard, tried to be honest with myself that they all hang out with each other individually and I maybe was just not close enough to invite. Even as I write this, I am reminded that their decision not to invite me may be uncomfortable, but it makes sense.
What I am dealing with is those insecure thoughts of "but why?". Have I not been showing up as a good friend? Have I made people feel badly? Is there a reason outside of schedules 1:1 friendship is not forming?
Part of me would like to bring it up- not accusing about not being invited. But just checking in if there is any way I have not brought a positive energy. I want to communicate to improv. And if it was just some other logical reason, then clear the air and keep feeling good in the group. But I also don't want to make a big deal out of nothing. I am also not sure how to bring it up since we always see each other in a group setting.
Though I am trying to assume the best and not let my emotions to me, I am evidently still feeling insecure. Any advice or level setting is appreciated. Thanks!

Embarrassingly enough this is actually the first time in a VERY long while that I have read and finished an entire book on my own. But I can say now that reading PHM was very fun and honestly may have reignited an interest in reading for me.
That being said I finished the book about a day ago and I’m kinda bored right now so here’s my review and some thoughts.
Things I liked: - I thought it was really cool how weir structured this story with the amnesia flashbacks. It was a very clever way of explaining what was going on, the totality of the situation, and gave the story a lot more depth. - Rocky was obviously awesome. I know this was probably the main thing Weir wanted to do but it really was cool to see how different the Eridians were from humans while also being intelligent and reasonable. Really interesting how their technology developed compared to humans. Like where they exceed in material science they lack in physics and computers, and vice versa with humans. But in the end neither of them could have finished the mission without the other. - As a character Grace was pretty fun too. It was interesting to see how he solved all these complicated problems while also handling the huge stakes. - Astrophage as a concept is really cool too. It’s not an eldritch godlike space monster - it’s just like a mindless parasite that grows into an infestation.
Things I didn’t like:

• I feel like there were a lot of moments where interesting plot developments were taking place and situations were pretty tense, but then in the middle of them Weir decides to make Grace explain some scientific thing that is only sometimes helpful or interesting. It’s not a massive problem but it definitely threw me off at least a few times.
• I feel like Yao and Ilyukhina didn’t really get as much development as they should’ve. Like there’s moments where Grace talks about how devastated he is that they died, but there’s not much in the flashbacks that really suggests that they were great friends. Obviously he respected them but I don’t recall any moments that fleshed out their relationships with one another.

And another thing is the ending. - The Taumoeba problem feels like it could’ve been easily avoided if they just waited a few days before leaving to make sure there weren’t any other problems. - I think a lot of wasted potential with the ending was the fact that Ryland never sees what happens back on Earth. We never truly know what was going on, and all we do know is that they somehow fixed the astrophage issue. I truly don’t see any reason Ryland would WANT to stay on Erid for the rest of his life. Like throughout the entire book he does everything to ensure that Earth survives, and uses it as his motivation for not giving up. Obviously he thinks of Erid too, but it’s not like Erid means more to him than Earth does? Like he’s never even been there? And if he didn’t like Earth then why would he use it as his motivation? Idek. - He says “rocky is my only friend, i didn’t have a social life” when it’s pretty obvious he kind of did have a social life, like he had multiple friends and colleagues. - I felt like the flashbacks were kind of building up to this potentially very interesting moment where, against all odds, Ryland returns and surprises everyone, and we get to see where all of the characters like Stratt, Dimitri, Redell, etc are in present day. Like I’m just thinking of how cool it would’ve been if Stratt, who called Ryland a coward, found out that he was the sole survivor of the mission and managed to do the impossible and return back to Earth when it was supposed to be a suicide mission.
I guess that could’ve been a bit cliche, but that ending just makes more sense in my opinion. It would just tie up a lot of loose ends with those characters shown in the flashbacks.
that is all, may everyone reading this have a wonderful day.

I added this new section of cabinets and I’m curious if you had any recommendations on what to put above it? We will be putting our commercial freeze dryer on the countertop by the door. My first thought was shelves, but I don’t know what I would put up there.
I don’t want to put upper cabinets because of the freeze dryer. I thought maybe some kind of wall garden might be cool? Or make a large rustic style sign with our last name.
Any other ideas? We really need more storage space in this house so I’m trying to figure out a way to do that and it look good

Hey, so I’m a 12th pass out currently looking for colleges in Bangalore under management quota as a back up Checked all the websites and got to know we need to write kcet/comedk. I couldn’t attempt comedk because another exam was on the same day. Is there any way I get a management seat in top colleges

Hello...again. I'm still crusading with everything that has helped me live (mostly) Chiari symptom free for many years, and the next idea I want to share is uncomfortable. It won't feel good to read but if you think it doesn't relate to you I promise you--it relates to everyone and anyone who has a chronic condition or is sick in any way.
Little info about me:
Type 1 Chiari, 20mm. Diagnosed 2016; surgery was offered but not taken. My primary symptom was/occasionally is debilitating head pain from strain/pressure.

Now...
Don’t hate me for asking, but…what do you get out of being sick?
No one consciously likes being sick. No one longs for the skull-splitting pain that can accompany a Chiari malformation. No one relishes dizzy spells and nausea and eye sensitivity and poor coordination or the other twenty dozen symptoms that our doctors may or may not take seriously, that there may or may not be treatment for, and that may or may not rule our lives BUT with every illness there is always some kind of advantage.
At my worst, Chiari was the BEST at getting me out of things. Excruciating pain excused me from everything. Family gatherings, friend parties, work events…cleaning the house, taking care of myself, or doing anything other than watching TV and drinking wine. I didn’t have to do SHIT. Because I couldn’t. And the Chiari was permission to give no fucks what anyone else wanted or needed or how they felt about my withdrawal from life. It was the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card.
I mean, I was miserable…but I was basking in that misery.
I was in so much pain I couldn’t think about how to live better. I couldn’t worry about such things as my weight or the future of my writing or how filthy my floors were. I was barely living. And it was awful.
It was also a way out.

i was a sick person.

To my core, that was me: SICK. I didn’t realize how bad it was until my husband—who never gets a cold—complained of a virus and my internal dialogue went something like this: What? He thinks he’s sick? What a laugh! He’s not sick. NOBODY is sick like me.
I owned illness above all else. I hated it, but it was MINE. Every coughing fit, every spike of head pain, every wall I stumbled into, every night I cried myself to sleep. Being sick was who I became.
And I would never get well until I stopped being a sick person.
The Chiari had its sneaky tendrils snaked into every facet of my life, like we were woven together in a most elaborate tapestry of illness and pain. To begin healing, I had to untether from it. I had to separate myself from every Chiari strand until every fiber of my being was free.
If it sounds metaphorical, it’s not. It’s literal and simple (though seldom easy). Every time Chiari became a thought or an excuse, that was my cue to change the dialogue. For example, when I was contemplating changing jobs, I remembered my brief stint as a bartender in 2011 and immediately my brain said: I can’t do that anymore; what if I have a coughing fit behind the bar? Limiting beliefs running rampant in my brain needed to get shut down and rewritten into something more supportive, like: I would love to work with animals or in nature. That’s the kind of job I should be looking for!
In that kind of rewrite, I’m not denying that I might encounter pain or discomfort, but I’m choosing not to let pain or discomfort be the focus or run the show. Instead of looking at what I don’t want to experience, I’m putting my attention on the things that I do.
More than changing my thoughts, I had to stop using Chiari as an excuse to get out of living…and everything else…which meant showing up one minute at a time in all the places that I used to avoid, being present with all the people and situations the Chiari had shielded me from.

if i wanted to live without its pain, i also had to live without its protection.

Now, it’s true that there are plenty of legitimate physical limitations that accompany illnesses, Chiari included, but the problem comes when you talk yourself out of anything and everything because of them. I could get out of bed, I just chose not to. I could show up in life, I just chose not to. I could write a book or clean my house or have a kid…I just chose not to.
Or, rather, the Chiari chose for me.
Pandering to Chiari’s whims wasn’t limited to thoughts. It was in every decision I made, every choice to live small, every act to hide and shut down. It was in the purse that I carried (will it fit a water bottle to stave off a coughing fit?), the places that I went (can’t go there, the air in that store is guaranteed to tickle my lungs), the way I spent my time (I can’t visit those friends…I’ll have too much fun and want to laugh and laughing hurts so my head so much), and plans for the future (how can I have children when I can’t even take care of myself?).
Untethering from Chiari took work. And it’s still ongoing. Most of the ways that I have used Chiari to limit myself have been eradicated. My life, as a result, looks vastly different than it did in 2016 at the height of the pain. Today I’m a stay at home mom with a son, I have energy, I take Zumba classes, I write every day, my fiction has been produced by podcasts, I spend time outdoors every day, I laugh (sometimes it still hurts), I go into stores (sometimes) without bottles of water, I don’t drink wine every night (I don’t need to), and I’m free from the anxiety and depression that was once as crippling as the head pain that I only seldom experience. I am living.
If there’s one strand that I haven’t untethered from yet, it’s the fear around getting sick. I am terrified of being around sick people. I can’t even blame COVID, though it certainly contributed to the anxiety. I don’t know if I’ll ever be comfortable with someone coughing in my vicinity, knowing how bad it will hurt my head if I catch whatever they’re hacking up, and I don’t know if it’s necessarily a bad thing to keep my distance when I know someone is sick (I mean, shouldn’t we be doing that anyway?) but I’m trying to be less afraid. Or, at least, I’m trying to be less of a jerk about it when that fear takes over and people don’t understand why their cold is literally my kryptonite.
What I don’t do is use Chiari as an excuse to get out of living. I show up every day in every way and life keeps getting better. Bigger. Chiari Free.

Hi everyone. Probably a very dumb / novice question here. I have a GSuite account - from ages ago when I thought it would be cool to have my own domain. So I have three users. Looking at my admin console, it says "You have chosen to continue using the Free Legacy Edition of G Suite for personal use" On my account I had subscribed to more storage and today I got a refund for that and it seems now it's shared storage, but I cannot figure out how much. I've looked everywhere and I have no clue.
Bottom line - GSuite is overkill I think. We use email / calendar / play store / photos / drive. Not everyone uses the same thing. My mom for example would likely just have email and play store. I don't think she's using any google photos storage/backup, though she likely should.
Is there an easy way to transition out of this? If I set up regular gmail.com accounts for everyone, what would I do next? And what impact on our phones? I don't even know if you can be logged into two "gmail" accounts on an android. But clearly you have to be logged into one. What kind of pain is this going to be to transition out of this? I wish I had done it sooner, but here we are. I presume there is no way to keep the domain accounts but get out of GSuite?
Thank in advance for any tips you have. I did google this and was a bit overwhelmed at people saying it's not possible to move stuff. In which case, should I just cut my losses and start from scratch?

This game is all he wanted for his birthday but that was last week and I still haven't found a way to get it to him. I'm always the cool aunt but I might lose my title if I don't get this soon!!. I finally just discovered that it's download only so does that mean they have to pay for a Nintendo account to purchase the game? My brother told me he canceled the Nintendo account and I don't know if that matters or not. Please help!

I wonder if someone on this sub have similar thoughts about it, but i find mbti more and more psychically draining for couple of reasons and some are connected strictly to our personality type, so it seems more comfortable and proper to write about it on INFP sub, cause i think we might carry this burden together.
Firstly it is how some users take mbti tests to their hearts despite of its low scientific credibility and try their hardest to fit into the stereotype of their type to not be called "fake" or smth. Sometimes it follows entitlement over other types that are not as "powerful" personas as them, which is bananas, i have no other words for it. When it comes to this i tried to ignore it and don't care+didn't ask, but when you see it often, it gives just irritation and cringe.
I know it's not a great discovery to tell, but how limiting it is to see other people as types, when everyone is a complex being? It may seem helpful at first, cause someone from the outside suggests who you are and who are you compatible with, but it's still just a stereotype based on a theory, a bubble. You're not your functions, others aren't either. Some time ago i've seen a post from mbti, that speaks about it in more detailed way, i will link it here: https://www.reddit.com/mbti/comments/6ut8wwhy_i_quit_using_mbti/
Other reason is how the INFPs are portrayed online and this is our burden to carry, like i mentioned in the beginning. Every type sucks when it's unhealthy but i have the impression that our type and ESTJ type are the most demonized ones when it comes to the topic of unhealthiness, like people have no pity over us like they have for other types and although it can sound like a victim mentality on my part, cause well, i'M aN iNfP, it's really not the case. I'm concious about my flaws, most INFPs i know are also concious of theirs and well, we take the responsibility like mature people, it's basic societal norm i would say. But from what i've seen on reddit, instagram and quora it's just a lot of people writing stereotypical and straight up offensive shit about a whole type, because of one or two INFPs that had made a mess in their lives. The stereotyping is a different topic but it's also irritating, that on many posts or memes we are portrayed as shy, lazy crybabies, unambitious, dumb or boring, like it's easier for others to find our negative traits than the positive ones, cause from the description of stereotypical INFP we might be seen as a perfect black sheep for venting frustration from someone's life. Also the portrayal of someone as "an artist driven by emotions" is super limiting and depressing for a person who has an ambition to f.e. find a good paid scheduled job or try to master new skills like programming, but it's also connected to my former ramblings about seing people as types and the bubble it creates.
Ok, the last thing i want to mention are golden pairs. I have a problem with golden pairs and tbh any compatibility suggestions, it's kinda personal, but maybe someone has similar observations. I woudn't be in a relationship with someone who is said to have completely different values, what i've seen for my entire life is that similar values and goals are what connects people to each other. And then i open app like Boo and see that they show me the biggest compatibility with ENTJ - i know it can be explained with functions, but THE WHOLE THEORY IS INVALID. So these ships doesn't make any sense outside of this bubble and only thing they do is romanticising pairs of stereotypical people that don't exist for others who define themselves as they mbti type to just end up heartbroken, cause they have discovered the person they're dating is not this stereotype they were into- and on the stage of dating they would probably supplement their lack of knowledge of a person with stereotype, cause f.e. they have met on Boo or other MBTI dating site, so the idealization might be hard to ignore for anyone who meets people that way. Or to think that the other person owes them some form of relationship cause they could be a golden pair....
Wow, it was a lot. If someone read all this angry stream of conciousness, i'm thankful but also sorry, cause it was a lot of negativity here. I'm curious if someone will agree on this or maybe show me other side of MBTI that i missed here, but i just wanted to vent. Probably will take a break from MBTI for some time and tbh i totally recommend it if you feel similar way with mbti community.

Way back when, when the LMBs were a thing and I didn't have a job, I'd write a lot of Ninjago fanfics. Here's a few concepts I wrote about;
Zerminator: Evil build of Zane turns evil and tries to take out the ninja, this one was actually developed with my siblings and re-written maybe four times.
Ninja Kids: The nina had kids and they go on goofy little adventures

• Jay and Nya have Mia, the babysitter, and Mijay, the child
• Kai and Skylor have Flare
• Cole and mystery mom have Rocky
• Zane and Pixel construct Flurry (deaf representation)

Ninjago 2099: Criminal descendants of the ninja are trained by a dilapidated Zane that was found in an abandoned ninja base, ninja were killed years ago by the now-dictator of Ninjago, an evil Lloyd Garmadon
I'm sure there were a few others but these were the main ones. What ideas/stories/OCs did you guys create? I'd love some nostalgic fandom content

My current ac window unit in my bedroom seems to be on its way out. It's been leaking water and last night it was not cooling properly. I was going to try and see if I could clean it out to fix the leakage problem, but I assume the lack of cooling indicates a more serious problem. If I'm wrong, please let me know. I'd love to keep this unit since it works really well.
So. We've had to replace two other units last year and perhaps I am just super sensitive, but they do not cool as well as the older models we previously had. I like things REALLY cold. From what I can gather, it seems like the inverter is the only difference I can determine as to why they don't seem to cool as well. I don't really care as much about the main areas, but this unit I'm trying to replace now is in my bedroom and I cannot sleep unless it's super cold.
So I'm trying to figure out how to buy a window unit that does not use an inverter. Do they make them anymore and if so what wording should I be searching for?

So I played Astral Chain over 2 years ago and loved it, I’m gonna break down why the game is so great.
Story: Astral Chain has the best story I’ve seen in any platinum game, period. Mgr and Bayo 1 are some of my favourites but those games stories are good in a way that feels somewhat ironic. Mgr is a huge satire, the actual plot of the game is very simple and not all that engaging, instead it feels more like a commentary than an engaging narrative. Bayo 1’s story is so weird and incomprehensible that it ends up being great through how wacky it is. Astral chain though, its story is just good. Not fantastic, but good. The characterisation is actually present, the character arcs are interesting, there’s mystery, emotional moments, and very subtle themes throughout its writing. Astral chain is probably (except god of war) the best crafted narrative I’ve seen in a character action game (even if it isn’t the most memorable).
Gameplay: to be honest, calling astral chain a character action game doesn’t feel too warranted. This is a game with a lot of different gameplay styles in comparison to its peers. Every level has open zones to explore, charming optional side quests (most do not affect your rank if you skip them). Any side content that does affect your rank is often combat focussed, or a mini game that is much better designed than anything you’ll see in bayonetta 1. You also have platforming sections, which are not a strong suit, but are at least engaging in my opinion, they employ your abilities in interesting ways and it never felt like it was taking up too much time away from the action. On top of all this, you of course have the platinum combat system, and it’s amazing. Various abilities, different customisations for your moves, the openness of combos (it feels amazing to air juggle an enemy as both you and your legion puppet kick ass together). The animations in this game are fantastic and every single weapon you get feels interesting and useful (despite axe clearly being the best legion). There are a BUNCH of enemy types, the boss battles are very good too (not mgr or Bayo level, but still very good), and I like how astral chain feels different to other action games. In astral chain, your health bar is very small, this is simply because you are playing as a human, you are not a demigod witch or cyborg powerhouse, so enemies can kill you very quickly. Enemies are therefore slower while dealing bigger damage, giving combat a higher stakes, more risky feel as opposed to a pure power rush (although of course you can still kick ass in this game, don’t get that twisted). Overall, astral chain is another platinum game that has gimmicks, which is what us platinum fans always complain about, but it is my opinion that astral chain implements these gimmicks in ways that are superior to its siblings - they are less frustrating and the ranking system is more generous (dying to an instakill on a motorcycle mini game will not affect your rank, you simply restart the checkpoint). Rankings also encourage creativity over perfection - you WILL get hit during combat, so the game doesn’t punish your for it too hard, instead it rewards big damage combos, and using as much of your toolset as possible.
Style: this is where astral chain falls slightly short and probably why it isn’t revered as much as Bayo dmc or mgr. all those three games have a sense of style that is incredible, Bayo is camp, dmc is also camp, and mgr is a satirical camp. All feel distinct and just infectious in their tone. Astral chain’s tone is more serious and less over the top (it still has some very funny moments though), and it wears its 90s cyberpunk anime influence (most notably evangelion) on its sleeve - this is definitely contributing to my love for the game. Despite its tone not being too memorable, the visuals are fantastic for a fast paced Nintendo switch exclusive action game. It has a cell shaded, anime cyberpunk art style that is simply gorgeous and honestly quite shocking in terms of how good this Nintendo game can look at times.
Conclusion: if you own a switch play astral chain. It’s awesome, oh and when you’re thinking about the best action games tier lists, keep astral chain in your thoughts. Ty for reading!

Plz don’t spoil it, I’m only on chapter 6 rn and I’m so hocked! In the past, I was reading dr boyz x reader 👉👈 especially Shuichi who was my favorite one (he’s still my favorite tho)
but after seeing fan art based from that fanfic, I HAD to give it a try. The reason why was bc Ryoma didn’t unfortunately survive for that long and the fan art gave him sm more personality,
Which is one of the main reason why I gave it a shot!
And I must say the story is so good! The way the other dr v3 cast was writing is chef kiss✨, their personalities and different scenarios the story was captured so well. And, it’s so humorous, shocking, thrilling and more! Idk how else I would word and say how good it was so far!

my fav scene of know, you know- was when Miu fell into the pool and I couldn’t stop laughing 💀💀💀

Writing this post in hopes someone can commiserate. I have so many videos that have essentially been ruined because I forgot to turn off the Nanit app or background audio. My daughter's first birthday song has insanely loud white noise playing in the background because the Nanit camera app was still running and picked up the white noise in her room. Just incredibly frustrating that it doesn't mute it while recording videos the same way it turns off music playing on your iPhone if you start recording.
I know this is user error, but again looking to see if this has frustrated anyone else.

The river can run a strange course for those on the path of divine union with God. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, thy footsteps are a way unknown. (Psalm 77:19)
Sometimes we can feel lost all together. What is service to God afterall? What is worth? Especially with all the noise around us, in an age where one is measured on what he does, more than who he is.
There is humility in the mystics path, there is emptying. We find ourselves in places sometimes we never thought we would be. But these are the ancient paths. And they are the right paths. And when it seems darkest, and everything closes in, it is then God often makes way for the light to shine from heaven, and we are able to see it for what it really is. And like Jacob before us we say, "God is in this place and I knew it not."
I have often found the mystical path to be one of one enigma after another, but always leading ever onward to divine understanding into the mysteries and ways of God. I pray all would find the true path that so pleases God. If we can be of any witness to it to in this ever darkening world, may God be so gracious to shine His light through us to show others the heavenly way. I felt led to write this this morning for any general encouragement it may bring and any discussion it may initiate as to your own journey and the mystical way.
