2024.05.22 00:33 Bowazon_ Using Flurry as an attack speed buff with Heartseeker - is it worth it?
 | Hi guys, after seeing Wudi and a few others use Flurry to buff their Heartseeker attack speed, I decided to actually test this out to understand if it's worth doing this. submitted by Bowazon_ to D4Rogue [link] [comments] For context, I wrote the guide on the Heartseeker build and shared it on Reddit and the official D4 discord as well as discussing the build with a few others for some time before then, so I'm very familiar with the build. The Heartseeker guide for season 4 can be read here: https://www.reddit.com/D4Rogue/comments/1crc1ni/season_4_heartseeker_victimise_rogue_guide_by_bowa/ Anyway, this technique of using Flurry to boost attack speed came to be after Blizzard removed attack speed on weapons and significantly nerfed its values in other gear slots. This opened up an opportunity for theorycrafters to find attack speed elsewhere, hence Flurry. But, is it worth it? TestingI ran some frame-by-frame tests for this on the Kyovashad dummy with the following setup and methodology:Setup
ResultsSee below the screengrabs of the results.How to read this data:
Set 2 Set 3 Observations
ConsiderationsAlthough casting Flurry to boost attack speed does net a benefit in the end, some things to keep in mind:
ConclusionIn my opinion, it's not worth using Flurry for its attack speed buff in this way. If you're going to use it at all, it would be:

2024.05.22 00:33 mosesaussieman From 2k to 60k Instagram followers in under 2 months
Back in late March I had 2k followers, now I'm at 60k and gaining around 5k followers a week. Instagram is such an important tool for finding clients and bringing traffic to my website. Here's how I grew so quickly:
Instagram reels. I've now had multiple reels go viral (accumulating well over 20m+ veiws) I relentlessly studied what makes short form videos go viral. I studied what makes a good video. I watched all the viral videos in my niche and took notes on what was working. I put out hundreds of videos across multiple platforms and was taking notes on what was working and what was not working. Each video that failed was just data to me. Once I saw some success on some videos, I doubled down on what worked and improved upon that. Now I'm making high quality, high effort videos in my niche. I've looked around at other people in my niche on Instagram and my videos are currently some of the best performing videos in my niche. My videos regularly perform better than accounts that are 5x bigger than mine (these are accounts with 300k+ followers)
In my opinion, going viral is less of luck and more of a learned skill. Sure, it took me ages to finally have a video go viral ... but I was pretty relentless in making it work. Now looking back to all my videos that didnt go viral, it's clear as day why they failed. I never gave up and eventually found a style that works for me. Going viral has launched my business into the stratosphere. My life has drastically changed these past 2 months. I've since raised my prices 3x and am booking out clients months in advance. I'm working on building a paid community and will probably drop it once I hit 100k followers.
All this has me thinking back to last year when I would be telling people in my life that my videos will eventually go viral and they were telling me I'd have to be really lucky for something like that happen. I understand why they would think that, but once you learn what makes a good viral video you'll understand that it's a learned skill.

2024.05.22 00:33 Andre3000RPI Yahoo Morning Briefing
Tuesday, May 21 Good morning! Today's Morning Brief is all about strategists revising their 2024 year-end predictions. Nasdaq record highs: The Nasdaq rose 0.65% to a record close as the S&P 500 gained 0.1% Monday. The week's optimism came on the back of a few revised S&P 500 year-end calls (see both today's Takeaway and the Chart of the Day!).
JPMorgan's succession story: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon noted that his retirement was both closer than "five years away," his standard stock answer over the years, and that a succession plan was "well on the way." Talk of the CEO's departure moved the stock down 4.5%, despite the bank's good news: It revised its 2024 revenue expectations higher due to two potential rate cuts. The cuts would increase its net interest margin, a key banking metric marking the difference between what banks pay for deposits and what they make from them. Microsoft's new vision for AI: Microsoft announced its "Copilot+ PCs" on Monday, giving the world a look at how the most valuable company in the world plans to integrate its AI capabilities into consumer computers — capabilities that it hopes will reignite the PC market. Using specialized chips on the devices (no need for cloud processing), the ChatGPT-4o-based system assists users by seeing and analyzing what's already on the screen, integrating a key communication step. The software will be on Surface tablets as well as PCs from the usual suspects: Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung. The stock rose 1.2% Monday. 'A good position to hold steady': Monday's round of Fedspeak had Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson and Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr concurring with a suite of their peers who have reiterated their wait-and-see approach to rates. One month of encouraging data isn't enough for them, and as Fed Chair Jerome Powell said last week, three months might be better.
Rising metal prices: Gold and copper hit records Monday as silver hit a 12-year high. Gold has been on a roll of late thanks to demand from central banks and potential Fed rate cuts. And copper, as a non-precious metal, has seen its value spike due to higher demand from machinery and wiring applications. Another picks-and-shovels AI trade, perhaps. What we're watching Morning Brief is written and edited by Ethan Wolff-Mann. For the web version, click here. Follow all the action throughout the day on Yahoo Finance and on the Yahoo Finance app.
Taylor Swift's economic boost is traveling from the US to Europe. Amid uncertainty around Social Security, here's what financial advisers are telling clients. Audi furthers EV push into China with new platform agreement. Housing experts revise mortgage rate forecasts for remainder of 2024. Secondhand Rolex sales surge in 'underdeveloped' US market. Wall Street's biggest bear flips, raises S&P 500 price target by 20%. What we're reading
Today's Takeaway is by Myles Udland, Head of News. One of the most notable bears on Wall Street finally flipped this week. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson raised his price target for the S&P 500 over the next 12 months to 5,400 from 4,500, a 20% jump amid a market Wilson sees defined by "higher than normal uncertainty." Josh Schafer has more on Wilson's call here. And in his report, Wilson included a chart that serves as a note of caution to stock market bulls looking for lower rates to power the next leg of this rally. "[There] is a wide array of return outcomes across history following the start of the cutting cycle," Wilson wrote. "In many ways, this analysis encapsulates our outlook well — a balanced risk/reward profile in the average/base line view, but the potential for a wide array of scenarios to play out. Once again, get ready for some notable swings in sentiment, positioning and prices."
Interest rate cuts have a complicated history with the stock market The S&P 500's average annual return is around 10%, making the 12-month returns that follow rate cuts, on average, well below this bogey. And with the exceptions of 1974, 1989, and 2019, year-ahead returns for the S&P 500 after rate cuts have typically been well outside this historical average both high and low. All else equal, lower interest rates benefit riskier assets like stocks, bringing down the return hurdle that makes stocks preferable to something like fixed income. What Wilson's data reminds us, however, is that rate cuts aren't something the Federal Reserve typically does "just because." Even the winning years in Wilson's chart are reminders of precarious moments in financial market history — the 1994 bond market crash gave rise to James Carville's famous complaints about "bond vigilantes," and 1998's emerging market crisis and collapse of LTCM forced the Fed to take drastic action to save a single hedge fund.
Go back 18 months and Wall Street expected a recession to prompt rate cuts. Today, the Fed is looking for "greater confidence that inflation is moving down sustainably toward 2%" as the catalyst to lower rates. Last year's view on rate cuts was in line with history: A negative shock prompts the Fed to move. The current view is anomalous. Though as Wilson notes, in the current market, what else would you expect? "The last couple of months have been a microcosm in this respect as economic growth data have once again cooled after a period of strength, while inflation data have been bumpy," Wilson wrote. "In short, macro outcomes have become increasingly hard to predict as data have become more volatile. We see this environment persisting." The Wall Street consensus for the S&P 500 has been shifting, with three strategists boosting their outlook for the benchmark index. Let's round up the latest changes.
Chart of the day BMO Capital Market's chief investment strategist Brian Belski boosted his year-end target to 5,600 from 5,100, noting that momentum in the market is "likely to persist." On Friday, Deutsche Bank chief equity strategist Binky Chadha boosted his year-end target for the benchmark to 5,500 from 5,100, noting robust earnings growth and an improving macroeconomic consensus. Then, on Sunday, one of the biggest bears on Wall Street over the past year joined the crowd. Morgan Stanley chief investment officer Mike Wilson now sees the S&P 500 hitting 5,400 in the next 12 months, up from his prior call that the index would fall to 4,500, driven by solid earnings growth.
As Myles writes in the Takeaway, there are notes of caution in Wilson's "bullish" call. Macro consensus has become "increasingly hard to predict" in the current environment, with the market shifting back and forth between a "soft landing" and "no landing" base case. Investors, he wrote, should be "ready for more rotations." But as our chart of the day shows, with Wilson no longer calling for a market decline, few on Wall Street see any further "rotations" sending stocks sinking to end the year. And to JPMorgan ... we are waiting patiently. — Josh Schafer, Markets Reporter

2024.05.22 00:33 Intelligent_Way_7816 I get revenge on my ex boyfriend SPOILED nightmare of a sister and she has no idea
So a little back story about my exs lil sister, we’ll call her Anna, Anna is a year younger than her older brother less than a year younger than me. I met her from my ex I’ll call him Chad. We met when I was 13 and he was 14. I met Anna the following year when I was 14 and she was 13. Drama didn’t start right away, but she didn’t take school seriously her freshman year she ended the year with about 4 credits and next year her sophomore year only got 2 and after her sophomore year she dropped out saying for “mental health” even tho she was doing online school, no job, and was just trying to act like a bad ass. Anna was living with her father and step mom with her brother and half sister, she started getting rebellious smoking weed, smoking nic, having sex with a lot of guys and also going partying. She would run out of her house to go do whatever she wanted, one time I was even was on FaceTime with my ex as she was throwing a tantrum she locked herself in the bathroom screaming that she doesn’t care about her step mom or half sister because their not blood and she doesn’t care if they die, because they tried to take her phone away. She then ended up calling one of her boyfriends to pick her up and she ran out of the house and into his truck, her parents ended up calling the police and she texted her parents off a different phone and when her parents asked where she was her response was “it’s none of your business” she returned the next morning. It turned into a normal thing of her skipping school, sneaking off, breaking things in the house and going into her parent room to steal her phone. She then told her school she was being abused, which got debunked almost instantly since her brother testified and video recording from the neighbors driveway, because she claimed her dad staged her by her head and slammed her head into his truck door, her step mom had a video of her on the porch yanking out her own hair, no damage to the car and video shows her screaming at her house. Her mom locked her out because she didn’t feel safe with her being aggressive with a 2 year old in the house. Her father then put up cameras around the inside and outside of the house just to always have evidence of her lies. One time of her taking the bus to school she got in a fight with someone age 11 when she was 14 then posted on instagram bragging about getting charged with assault. She then made a claim that she wanted to kxxl herself so her family took her to a mental hospital the doctor told her parents she had no mental issues she’s just spoiled and will act out for people attention. Anna would constantly go to social media to complain about getting mistreated by her family. It got to the point her family knew there was not much they could do to help her, and they felt worried for their baby growing up around that. They ended up moving her into a family friends house where her parents stayed in contact with the parents of the other house and they gave money. There was parents and a daughter two years younger she became best friends with it was going well for the first few months but then Anna started to steal from the daughter I’ll call her Nat, they started to not get along and the friends Nat introduced her too she started talking shit about Nat to them. Anna was now 15 attempting to get jobs but couldn’t hold a job because of her bad attitude, well after 9 months Anna slept with Nats boyfriend, Nats boyfriend told Nat about what happened, the mom made Anna call her boyfriend and tell him how she cheated. The tension was too high and the parents told Anna parents they couldn’t take care of Anna anymore, Annas parents then talk to family, and Anna Uncle agreed to let her move in, she was 16 at this point and she moved in with her uncle and his girlfriend. She got a job at a sub place, but she kept smoking and having sex with random people. Well, she started getting into a lot of vocal arguments with his girlfriend and her uncle ended up texted my boyfriend asking if she can live with him. Her uncle said she was just selfish, and doesn’t like being told no. At this time her brother was living in a house with 3 guys with no extra room. I had my own two bedroom apartment, so I talked to her parents and they felt like I was a good choice and I asked Anna because even tho I wasn’t a fan of her I still felt like she needs her own room and she agreed. So her uncle drove her and her stuff to my place. Her family gave me some money to get her some furniture and they gave me a run down, also told me they’re are going to call to check up on her. I asked if she had any allergies or mental issues, she told me no but that she’s likely going to tell me a huge list of what’s wrong with her. So first day she moved in I took her to get fast food and asked some questions. She said she was abused by her parents Nats boyfriend pressured her to sleep with him and that her uncle was manipulative. Every story she told me she made herself a victim. She then asked me if I had any mental issues which I said I have PTSD and MDD and she asked me what MDD was, I explained it to her. I then asked her if she had any issues and she gave me a LIST she said anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder , bi polar disorder, OCD, MDD, and PTSD. Even tho she had to ask me what MDD meant, but I didn’t confront her because her parents warned me that if I doubt her she will act out. So the first week, I got her a job where I work, started to teach her to drive and helped her set up a bank account went to the Apple Store so she could buy herself a new phone. Instantly I could tell why she kept getting fired, she was on her the entire time and everytime I looked over she was taking photos or videos of herself. She did not want to work so I did a lot of her work just so I didn’t get a bad rep. About day 4 she asked if she can invited a guy over that she knew on Snapchat. I said sure MY MISTAKE. This guy was a wanna be gangster, and he brought his friend, in front of him she acted awful, swore she was a fighter and badass, they ended up fucking and next day he was still there he did some Molly and drank a lot. My friend came over and Anna started to threaten her and say she could beat her ass in front of the guys. I took her into a room alone and told her to knock it off. We’ll later that night the guys wanted to bring over some girls, I was trying to sleep and my friend told me how, she told they guys she can drive them with my car. IVE ONLY TAKEN HER DRIVING TWICE. So I agreed to pick the girls up but told them I would be driving them back that night. It’s going good for a while until Anna starts talking shit about one of the girls and called her ghetto, this girl was 13 and Anna was 17. That girl confronted Anna, Anna swore up and down she didn’t say anything, then after 10 mins of pressing her Anna admitted she called her ghetto. This girl beat her ass. Anna started crying and this girl came up to her and said that wasn’t a fair fight, that she can get 5 mins to put her hair up and get some water but they were gonna run it again. Everyone is in my living room talking then they go outside and she gets her ass beat again, Anna then goes into my bathroom in my bedroom, anytime I went in she told me to kick them out. I told her she wanted them here she has to tell them to get out but I’ll have her back. It got to the point I tried to sleep on my couch, so the guys tried getting Anna to go to her room so I could sleep but she screamed at them. So the two girls went in and told her she needs to go to her room. Anna picked up a bunch of my stuff on the counter and threw it at the sink. The 16 year old girl got pissed and wanted to fight her, but I said she had enough and if she needed to get it off her chest we can fight, we ended up scrapping. It got late so I went to drive them home… pt 2?

2024.05.22 00:32 Toutestgore Finally got the satisfaction of holding the power over a suspicious recruiter after a long search.
 | Long time lurker, first time poster, but everyone I’ve told this to IRL thinks it’s insane so I thought I’d share here. After a grueling job search I finally got my first offer…and then turned it down. submitted by Toutestgore to recruitinghell [link] [comments] The role was digital marketing support for a small company, think video and design. My first red flag was that they responded within an hour to my application on a Saturday, seemed very interested, and then ghosted me after sending a portfolio of work. Fine, it happens often. Then a month goes by, and I get a message telling me their “indeed messenger wasn’t working and they’ve been TRYING to contact me…can I interview at 6:30 tonight”. I find this odd, as the position is no longer even posted…and later find out they hired someone who didn’t end up working out between our first contact and them starting to interview me. The next few red flags were an almost one hour commute one way, STRICTLY in-person (which in all my searching I hardly ever see in my field nor have I personally ever worked that way.), and an echoey open-concept office with lots of people in and out and no place to focus. But hey. I might need to suck it up because I liked the actual work, need a role, and it would be a good resume builder. They offer the following on a Friday at 4 pm: 45K salary. Automatic 2500 quarterly bonus to be paid over Venmo as long as you are still working for them at the time of the bonus (that they emphasized were not taxable…hmmmm…). No health insurance, just a $250 monthly stipend over Venmo. 2 weeks PTO after 6 months. I know some of these are normal, but it told me they were worried about retention. I spoke on Saturday to ask a few questions, ask about a 50K salary increase to make sure I’m getting some more monthly as having 35% of my package wrapped up quarterly and over Venmo made me nervouse, and if I could have a few days to decide as I had guests staying for the weekend. They did not give me a deadline but were VERY snippy that they needed an answer as soon as possible, but said they needed to think about the 50K so they’d be back to me in the next 24 hours. 24 hours come and go, no response. Almost a day after that, they offer me 1K more in each bonus, and tell me that because it’s the Venmo bonus, it’s like making more than 50K which puts me above my asking price. It’s at this point that I get more suspicious about the no tax thing and start asking around to professional accountants, people in roles similar to mine, and people at the type of company it was. Everyone thought that was insane to not pay it the same way as payroll, and not legal to be not withholding it given it’s a W-2 job. At this point the flags were piling up, and given I was never fully thrilled about the role anyways, I very politely declined. Their response was….certainly a choice, but I can’t say I’m surprised, and it made the fear of rejecting my one opportunity so much easier to digest. It certainly was satisfying to be on the other end of rejecting someone who thinks they have it in the bag for once lol. PS: if anyone knows some sort of loophole that made these bonuses possible, I’d be curious to hear it. Ultimately though, I still think I made the right call for me, and landed a freelance contract for the time being twelve hours later. |

2024.05.22 00:31 hipriestess56 [QCrit] Adult LitFit - TERMS OF SERVICE (95k words/1st attempt)
Hi all, longtime listener, first-time caller. Please see my query and first 300 below.
My biggest question is this: 95% of the story takes place in 2014, but the book opens in 2020 when my main character receives a letter from the California Dept of Fair Housing & Employment informing her of an investigation into behavior at Chatpic. Receiving the letter spurs her to tell the story of what happened back then. The book checks back into 2020 in the middle as my MC tries to get more information about the investigation, and then it ends back in 2020 again when she decides what she wants to do about the letter.
The reason the story takes place in 2014 is because the time period--pre #MeToo/Donald Trump/the workplace reckoning of 2020--informs the decisions the MC makes back then, and she's looking back at it from a wiser perspective. If you've read The Rachel Incident, Caroline O'Donoghue does a similar thing as she retells a 2008 abortion story from the perspective of present day.
In the end, the investigation is not a driving force of the plot--so my question is how important is it that it's mentioned in the query? I ask because I've found that trying to add that piece to what I've already written starts to get convoluted, though obviously I can work at it. I think it's very clear once you read the first 300, but for agents who don't want a sample, is it clear in the blurb that this story is looking back to a time gone by?
Mostly looking for insight on this question specifically, but if you have further feedback about the letter for first 300, open to that as well. Thanks!

Dear [Agent],
Thank you for the opportunity to submit my query for TERMS OF SERVICE, a true-ish fictional story about a young woman in a nearly impossible workplace a la UNCANNY VALLEY meets THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (with shades of 9 TO 5). TERMS OF SERVICE is complete at 95,000 words.
It’s 2014 and down-and-out celebrity blogger Maggie Clarke is desperate for a fresh start. Not only is she broke in New York City, but at 31, she thought she’d be writing something a little less embarrassing than Justin Bieber listicles by now. When her longtime internet friend Aron York–recently named the world’s youngest billionaire–offers her a lucrative position at his massively popular social media app Chatpic that puts her at the center of his inner circle in Los Angeles, it’s exactly the step-up she’s been waiting for. As Maggie learns to manage the always-on hours, the slew of acronyms, and the unlimited access to free cold brew, she encounters another more complicated problem–the boys’ club. Except this isn’t the typical ham-fisted sexism she’s used to–this is the tech bro variety: insidious, inexorable, and infuriating. When she meets an ambitious young reporter who encourages her to speak out, Maggie has a shot at revenge. But in a world before mansplaining and microaggressions, is blowing the whistle worth the risk? And is anyone ready to hear it?
Like Maggie, I was also plucked from internet obscurity by the world’s (then) youngest billionaire, [redacted], to come work at his massively popular social media app, [redacted company]. I was a founding member of the company’s content team, and all I have to show for it is six footnotes in the [redacted company] biography [redacted title] and the brutal feminist awakening that inspired me to write this manuscript. Before that, I was a full-time writer in New York whose work has appeared on MTV, Rolling Stone and Elle. Currently I’m a content and editorial consultant in Chicago, and I’m also on TikTok where 21,000 people watch me rant about work and office culture. (It’s also where 2M people enjoyed my show-and-tell video about the “sentimental” stock certificates [redacted company previously mentioned] gave a few early employees–that were worth exactly $0.00.)
As the agent who represents [Author 1] and [Author 2], you have a strong list when it comes to complex female characters embroiled in complicated social dynamics. TERMS OF SERVICE would be a great addition to this track because, while similar themes of class and workplace are explored, my flavor of levity and sarcasm makes my work distinct from [Author 1] and [Author 2], bringing a new facet to your program.
If you are interested in reading TERMS OF SERVICE, I would be happy to forward a sample of any length you suggest. Thank you for your consideration!

First 300:
Chapter 1
2020
A lot of people might revel in the idea of receiving a letter announcing an investigation into their ex-employer.
One might, for example, envision draping themselves in a mink stole, lighting the cigarette at the end of their old-timey cigarette holder, and dialing the investigator’s number from a rotary phone atop a solid wood desk under shadowy, film noir lights. One might then imagine whispering I knew this day would come into the receiver between bursts of psychotic, hysterical laughter as they rejoiced in the long overdue arrival of the long arm of the law.
But me, I wasn’t so sure. Maybe because I didn’t have a mink stole.
No, I was crouched on the ground of my parents’ musky basement in Des Plaines, Illinois, knee-deep in piles of old diaries and CDs when I received notice of one such letter. It was month four of COVID, and Dad and I were only halfway through his cleaning list. He was already a germaphobe so a global pandemic was all he needed to justify a top-to-bottom disinfection of the entire house. And since my routine trip home in the middle of March turned into a hapless extended stay when the world shut down, it was the perfect excuse to put me to work. Just like the good old days.
We wiped down every square inch of the place. We soaked the faucet heads in lemon juice, we scrubbed the coffee mugs with baking soda. We vacuumed the damn fridge.
Reorganizing the basement shelves was a beast. Every box was like a Russian nesting doll of useless crap: old TV Guides, corroded double-A batteries, dried-out cans of paint primer, an unsettling number of hand saws. I made decent headway through the “tools” and “electronics,” but I lost all steam when I got to my high school stuff—faded Polaroids and folded-up notes stopped me in my tracks.

2024.05.22 00:30 TheGenkz Septem8er Tapes
 | I was recently organizing some of my old DVDs in storage and stumbled on a copy of a found footage film called SEPTEM8ER TAPES, a film that I have not rewatched in probably a good 15 years, but one that I think about a lot for some reason. submitted by TheGenkz to foundfootage [link] [comments] The film is a really interesting example of non-horror found footage, centering around an American journalist who travels to Afghanistan one year after 9/11, ostensibly to film a documentary. The film premiered at Sundance in 2004 and screened in many major festivals around the world. It got some buzz at the time because apparently the director, Christian Johnston, actually shot much of the film on location in Afghanistan, which as you might imagine, was not a super safe place for Americans to be around 2002-2003. It was picked up for distribution by a company called First Look Media, but as far as I can tell, it had an very limited or nonexistent theatrical run, and was released on DVD in 2005. Today, it very occasionally seems to pop up on AVOD streaming services, but I have not seen it be available for at least a few years. You can still find secondhand copies of the DVD for sale, but it doesn't look like the film was ever released in HD. The director put out another found footage film in 2007, this time in the sci-fi genre, called ALMAZ BLACK BOX. This one is even more obscure, and I've never seen it legitimately streaming, nor does it not look like it ever got a home video release in the US. It's particularly interesting because the film very clearly seems to be setting up a transmedia component via a tie-in website, which is no sadly no longer online. Between these two films, Christian Johnston seems to be a very intriguing filmmaker in the found footage subgenre, whose work is unfortunately becoming harder and harder to find. Has anyone else seen SEPTEM8ER TAPES? If so, what did you think? And does anyone here have more information on the director or his work? https://preview.redd.it/863myicawu1d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abceb4f91cd13bfc22135faf86a91582f5324c45 |
2024.05.22 00:30 No_Antelope7492 Tips for new players, from a new player.
I’ll preface this by saying that I am not some amazing player that got to master rank or anything. I got to Platinum 1 in my first week of playing(not super high, but I was proud of my progress), and made a ton of mistakes that cost me time, a lot of losses, and real money to fix. I’m writing this to show some other new players what I learned from this experience.
Probably the most important thing I learned was only to surrender if you’re getting frustrated beyond annoyance. If you’re super competitive, like I am, and you find yourself getting upset by a match to the point that it’s causing you to get mad, it’s worth just surrendering. But, other than that, you shouldn’t surrender. It’s crazy how many times i’ve won a game with an absolutely terrible opening hand, just because I used ash blossom on the opponent’s first card, and they just quit. Even if you play it out and lose, you will definitely learn something about the limitations of your deck, or how another deck functions from it. So, try not to surrender.
Speaking of Ash Blossom, craft and use all the staples that you see in most decks.
Next is to do some research on decks before you dump crafting materials, gems, or real money into a deck. Especially if you go into the game, like I did, and end up immediately crafting vehicroids or a toon deck, only to get bent over 40 times in a row by the Snake Eye special. If you like a particular archetype then, by all means, go for it. But if you want to be competitive, at least find a deck that is “rogue” and watch people play it.
Now that you’ve found your deck, watch YouTube videos from good players. I learned so much about my ExoSister deck from watching better players on YouTube. Sometimes you can find guides, but a lot of the videos are just them playing with no commentary. You learn a lot about interactions and when or when not to use certain effects.
Play through the solo mode with the loaner decks. You learn a bit about the different summoning mechanics. That’s what I got from it. Then play through it with your deck. You get a lot of gems to expand on your deck or build a second one. You also learn a lot about the limits of your deck, in an environment where you won’t get punished too hard by the bot. I learned a lot about my deck by doing this.
The next thing I did, that not only made me a better player, win more games, and teach me more, was to integrate a seperate engine into my deck. I found that people play ExoSisters with Dinomorphia, and I worked that in. I played in casuals and learned when to summon what, and what did and didn’t jive together. This made me think more about the plays I was making, while also giving me another weapon when you come across an opponent who is using a deck that completely counters yours. I noticed that a lot of decks do this.
Lastly, I learned that, for me, the best way to play this game is to have 2 decks. One for ranked that’s decently viable, at least. Then to have a casual deck that’s just for fun. People test things or try new things in casuals so you can afford to play your toon deck, or whatever and 9/10 games you won’t summon toon dark magician girl, then wait 10 minutes for your opponent to perform 745 actions, ending on Utopia 9/11: CIA inside job dragon, that burns you for the amount of degrees Fahrenheit it would take to melt steel beams.
Bettemore experienced players, feel free to drop other tips in the comments. These are all just things I wish I had known from the start that I learned the hard way. I spent about $150 on gems after the first few days, because I made mistake after mistake on what I crafted, deconstructed, and making decks that just weren’t good. I hope people can at least learn to make a decent deck with the free gems, instead of doing what I did.

2024.05.22 00:27 nymphyfailed [TOMT] [Youtube Video] An Elsa-gate-esque Bubble Guppies Molly x Gil Video I saw as a Kid
This is going to be pretty rushed as I cannot vividly remember every single scene from that YouTube video nor its title at all. I even tried searching it on youtube multiple times but still can't find it at all. However, from what 9–10-year-old me (a bit too old for the target audience but still a kid regardless) remembered:
submitted by nymphyfailed to tipofmytongue [link] [comments]
- It is related to Bubble Guppies, especially when it comes to Molly and Gil, and maybe Goby.
- It is so weirdly animated it resembles those Elsagate animations, except it's not from 2016-2017 but rather from 2012-2013.
- it had an intriguing romantic storyline that doesn't feel like it belongs to Bubble Guppies at all.

2024.05.22 00:26 Impossible-Fig3749 Young (25/26 y/o) couple moving to The Woodlands
Hey people! Im moving to The Woodlands with my girlfriend on November and we are discussing apartment complexes. (2bed apt) She is a nutritionist self employed and needs an aesthetic place for her videos on Social Media.
1) 2 lakes (expensive) 2) Modera (no where to walk other than lifetime) maybe boring for her? 3) 1 lake (she does not like the dark kitchen) 4) Broadwalk (she is hesitant)
I would like a place for her to feel confortable walking to places (she is moving from Atlanta where she is walking everywhere basically) She has a dog and would need good light at night for her walks (in case am not there) we are thinking in paying 2lakes becase I feel is going to be too boring for her at Modera only having lifetime walking distance. I want her to feel as confortable and happy as possible which is why we are considering paying the extra costs of 2lakes. (1 lake she did not approve the kitchen colors and you can imagine I cant comolain on her wants XD she is moving because of my work)
Anybody here living in those apartments? In my opinion for the price, Broadwalk is a good choice being next to the waterway and HEB walking distance. I want her to feel home in The Woodlands, it would be our first place together and I want to make the moving from a Big city to an Urban location as smooth as possible.
Thank you in advance!

I would like a place for her to feel confortable walking to places (she is moving from Atlanta where she is walking everywhere basically) She has a dog and would need good light at night for her walks (in case am not there) we are thinking in paying 2lakes becase I feel is going to be too boring for her at Modera only having lifetime walking distance. I want her to feel as confortable and happy as possible which is why we are considering paying the extra costs of 2lakes. (1 lake she did not approve the kitchen colors and you can imagine I cant comolain on her wants XD she is moving because of my work)
Anybody here living in those apartments? In my opinion for the price, Broadwalk is a good choice being next to the waterway and HEB walking distance. I want her to feel home in The Woodlands, it would be our first place together and I want to make the moving from a Big city to an Urban location as smooth as possible.
Thank you in advance!
2024.05.22 00:26 DownWithDaThicckness Why is my bread barely sour???
 | This is my 6th or 7th time baking sourdough with the first 2 times not even being sour. I got it to get a little tang now, but it’s hardly there. It’s obviously sourdough but not obvious enough for my liking. I made my own starter back in November, and I’ve been feeding it 1:1, with AP flour or rye, sometimes half and half. I’ve skipped feedings with only mixing to aerate in between feedings, added less water when feeding to make a dryer starter, left it in the fridge for weeks in between bakes…. Nothing has achieved the tanginess im looking for 🥲 I’m on a mission to never buy bread from the store again (have been successful for almost a year now) but I’m close to just going back to store bought sourdough because I can’t get mine sour enough UGH! submitted by DownWithDaThicckness to Sourdough [link] [comments] Here’s the recipe I used for this loaf (tried something I saw on YouTube): 400 g flour (380g bread 20g AP because that was all the bread flour I had left) 300 g water 80g starter 8 g salt -Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix, using wet hands once you get a rough dough ball -rest for 30 mins, do a set of stretches, and let rise. (Video wasn’t specific about how long but I did about 3 hours, my dough doubled but I think overproofed because it was hot in my house and dough was sticky.) -stretch out on counter into rectangle. Fold sides over and form into ball -put into banneton and put in fridge over night -Bake @ 400F in Dutch oven, 30 min lid on (I put an ice cube in the Dutch oven), 15 mins lid off |
2024.05.22 00:23 ilovewacha3 How to use R to extract urls with the same pattern across multple sites simultaneously?
I am trying to download videos from a site, which requires:
In short, I want the R code to read a list of video urls I manually compile, then produce a list of download urls (e.g., with "get_file" in it).

- manually identifying pages of specific videos. I'm not trying to scrape the entire domain and get the download url for every video.
- using R to extract the download url (with "get_file" in the url) that resides on each video url. One issue is the download url (ie, with "get_file" in it) only becomes available if the account is signed in.

2024.05.22 00:21 Veprovina Can someone recommend an accurate PSU Wattage calculator?
I'm in the market for a new GPU, but each PSU calculator i plug my specs into gives me a different result and i have no idea if what i have will be enough. My specs: Asrock b550m pro4 Ryzen 5 5600g 2x 16Gb DDR4 3200Mhz Nvidia 1060 3Gb 2x 512Gb M2. Nvme 1x 256Gb SSD DVD drive (that i don't really need, it can go if it draws too much power)... 1x 80mm fan 1x 120mm fan 600W PSU (not sure about the rating) The GPU i plan on buying is either AMD rx 7700xt or AMD rx 7800xt. The 1060 would possibly go into the second x4 PCIE slot for GPU passthrough and virtualization, meaning it would only be used when a VM is running, and i don't know if it draws power with it off or not... But that's also a big maybe because idk if this CPU and motherboard support enough and correct IOMMU groups to make this work. So, without the 1060, and only the 7800xt in the PSU calculators i've been getting from 500W - 850W estimates, and that's not nearly in the same ballpark. I even got a lower estimate at around 450W for the whole system with a 7800xt on pcpartpicker. If i get the 7800xt, will 600W be enough with the above setup, or will i also need to get a beefier PSU? And the same question with the 7700xt, will 600W be enough? Cause i don't think it will, the 7800xt i think recommends 700W? I mean, it's fine if i need to buy a PSU, i just need to know and how much Watts lol. Plus, the card that i potentially don't have to buy a new PSU for gets the advantage. What about 2 of the cards - with only one active all the time, with the second active only some of the time with no demanding graphical applications (there won't be any games in this scenario, both cards will only have to draw the desktop). Thanks for reading! I'm really confused on this.
