Hi, I usually don't post but since I have this disease I need to post this as I feel it will help a lot of people suffering from this awful disease!
Places I had or have HS? Face, Armpit, Groin, with tunnelling.

Things I have done to try to manage it.

Tried Acne products, Homeopathy medication, Tea tree oil, Apple cider vinegar, Etc.. little to no effect.
Tried many antibiotics over the years from GP, little to no effect.
The doctors are dumb and stupid and don't think for them self's they follow a book by the FDA and never cure the disease they only put a bandage on it to cover it up that's all they do! Same goes for any other diseases! If they cure you, you will never go back to them.
This disease will not go away unless you make lifestyle changes/changing your habits I have been dealing with it for 8 years and finally starting to see big improvements after doing these things for 3 months listed below!

Things you must do!

If you smoke, Take chewing tobacco or Vape it will make it worse! You must stop smoking!
If you drink alcohol it will make it worse! You must stop drinking!
You must MOVE a lot you cant just sit and do nothing you must move your body around like Excising, Walking or doing whatever just move.
You must drain the pus by the doctor or yourself keep the wounds clean and don't sweat stay in cool environments.
if its really inflamed and big in size ready to burst painful take a salt water warm bath or shower it will open up your skin pores and reduce the pain.
Take paracetamol if its painful
Sweating and heat makes it worse in general unless the boil is ready to be drained then heat is good.

Very Important! Intermittent Fasting and Insulin Resistance.

The goal is to reduce insulin resistance!
Start with what your comfortable with what I mean is take it easy when fasting! Don't go staving yourself to death you have to be persistent and make it a daily routine.
Personally I eat once a day! and have a cheat day in a week meaning I eat breakfast lunch and dinner if I feel like eating them.
If you eat every 6 hours make it 10 hours basically you must feel hungry for a couple hours daily the longer the better to reduce insulin resistance you can not do this in a day or two it takes time! just like how your hair grows it takes time! little by little, step by step, day by day.
If you can't fast for that long then eat your meals but in very small portions 1/2 of what you normally eat.
Do not eat anything 3 hours before bed expect water and pills!
Remember you can drink wateliquids as much as you want during the fasting or at any period of time.
Consult your doctor about fasting I'm not responsible for anything you do.

Very important!

You must drink a lot of hot black or green tea that's right TEA with no sugar! Plain tea everyday 4 to 5 cups a day it dries the skin and strengthens the inner and outer barriers of the skin health you will see the HS shrinking in size.

Very important!

Get your full blood count tested go to your doctor and get your blood tested! Especially Vitamin D Most people with HS have a vitamin D deficiency! and or may have other unknown deficiencies which need to be supplemented and solved!
Get yourself Vitamin D tablets or even better go out and get sun exposure.
Take Zinc and Copper tablets you can find these premixed together.
acidophilus tablets basically probiotics.
Get yourself a ( CeraVe SA Smoothing Face and Body Cleanser for Dry, Rough and Bumpy skin ) Wash the effected areas with it warning this cleaner will make your skin dry! beware!
Consult your doctor about these tablets and fasting I'm not responsible for anything you do.

Very important! Things to avoid Eating!!

The number one contributing factor of HS is the foods you eat so be very cautious of what you put in your body.
Anything with a barcode and all the these weird ingredients labelled on it is most probably junk don't eat or drink it.
Spices that's right no spices even turmeric! And especially chilli spices like chilli powder, paprika etc no chilli! only salt is fine.
Bread especially white bread! brown is fine in small proportions but not everyday!
NO Fast foods
NO Fried foods
NO Diary foods.
NO nightshade foods.
NO Chicken, Fries, Eggs, Sauces, coffee, Honey, Tomatoes, Banana, Potatoes, Pasta.
NO Sugar or anything Sweet!! And artificial sweeteners!
NO Sweet tasting fruits like grapes, watermelons, peaches etc with the exception of berries are fine but not strawberry!
Oil if you can Ghee and organic Olive oil is fine.
all other oils are unhealthy like corn, safflower, sunflower, soy and vegetable oils and produce pro-inflammatory chemicals which is a big NO for people with HS.
And other things I can't remember right now...

Very important! Things you can Eat!!

Organic=Red meat, seafood, Fish broccoli, vegetables, avocados, raw garlic, Apples,
walnuts and almonds a handful every 2-3 days 1 hour before bed.
Green lentils is very good instead of rice have green lentils!
Kiwi not everyday,
pomegranate not everyday,
All Berries but no strawberry,
Rice not everyday,
And other things I can't remember right now...
Remember these are working for me everyone is different so experiment with foods! keep a note of what you eat and take notes of how it effected your HS!

Very important!

No stress nothing is more important than fixing your health!
Anything that stresses you out walk away from it! Leave it, let it go, and stay calm all the time! no matter the situation! and be confident that you will beat HS. You have the power to control your mind/emotions! don't let your mind/emotions control you!
This method of fasting and eating will significantly reduce levels of C-reactive protein which is a marker of inflammation and reducing Insulin Resistance! what kind of disease is this? chronic inflammatory skin disorder....what we are doing is (starving the bacteria in the effected areas so they don't reproduce themselves) and attacking it with good bacteria that our immune system produces with the foods we eat this is why its very important to get your vitamin D levels up and take zinc and copper tablets and probiotic tablets that I have mentioned to strengthen the immune system.
Takes time depending on your immune system and I know doing these things is working on me, my face is 90% healed my armpit is 80% healed and my groin is 90% healed and no more flare ups or new boils or tunnelling.
I gain nothing from this!
if you think its bad advice or too extreme don't do it!
I will mention it again consult with your doctor first before doing any of this!
I will try to update this post as much as a can.

Es tiempo.
Dig in your heels. Get to work and fucking do it. Keep striving. Remain thriving.
I’m a lil scared, so I want it more. Keep climbing.
Larger leaps, more rewards. I got the cheat code, b. Only the other half can know it all. I am patience 🧘🏻‍♀️ as I collect knowledge amd move past what is not for me. My other half cannot miss, and that is peace.
I’ll keep collecting checkpoints for my growth.
Motivation may waver, but determination and mission never do.
It’s time to make the larger waves 🌊
Comfort has become my enemy. I always aim for comfort in cultivation. Scraping and crawling, inching ever so close to create a natural form in the new.
Then.
Then I create chaos. My chaos has been subdued, but still around.
Move to discomfort and gain larger rewards.
I’m ready 💗✨

Since there currently is no cheat file for the japanese version of MHXX on Checkpoint, is there a way I can add the AR codes to Luma's cheat menu?

Hello,
​
So, basically if I shop from a supermarket and for example I type potatoes/carrots/garlic (by weight) on the self checkout every time instead of bananas/all other type of fruits which are more expensive than the mentioned vegetables or products in plastic stuff which has got barcode and you don't scan them (they won't beep when you leave) but type them as a fruit. So you save money with this but you cheat as well.
​
Is this a bad thing to do ? Am I going to build up negative karma or anything according to buddhism? Should I stop doing this? I did this many times already.

I was on 4-4 in violent mode, and having a damn tough time with v2, when all of a sudden he got enraged and then just... disappeared? I searched around and he wasn't anywhere to be found, and for some reason his health was going down, and within a few seconds, bam. gone. he didn't even get to his second phase, he just disappeared and I went straight to the grappling hook part. I feel like I just cheated out of a major checkpoint and test of skills, does anybody have any idea what happened?

A few days ago, I came home from work and my son came to chat with my wife and me. He says “Did you hear about John Doe (I will not use the person’s real name). He won $50,000 at ISEF. His project was totally fake.”
I was floored. But why? The thought in my head was “Oh my god, after so many years, was a student finally busted for piggybacking off of work done by professors, graduate students, or other scientists/engineers that work in some type of research labs?!?!”
I then Googled Doe’s name online and realized that what he did was different (or was it?). He used a falsified image to make a major claim in his paper. He stole a graph used to make a major claim and made it seem like it came from his data. He also stole an image from an article to make a false claim that he built a complicated device. There were many other issues with his paper as well.
Since my son told me about Doe, I have read some articles and other Reddit threads on this scandal. In my view, they have not addressed two major related issues:

• While there is an anonymous person or group of people who dissected his paper to a level such that this major fraud could be uncovered, have other submissions to ISEF and other major science fairs over the years been examined with the same level of scrutiny? Can we be confident that all of the submissions over the years that have been accepted were actually legitimate?
• It is well known that most of the top projects at fairs such as ISEF and publications in major research journals by high schoolers are results of students riding the coattails of professors, graduate students, and or industry research scientists/engineers. Yet many of these students are awarded five to six figure amounts in scholarship money and the results of these fairs are valued higher by college admissions committee than accomplishments that truly demonstrate outstanding academic capabilities. How can and when will this be stopped?!?!

Through my own observations and informal conversations with different people over the years, I have been well aware of this issue with science fairs. Some events occurred in late ’22 and ’23 that got me thinking very deeply about it. But due to my private nature, I sought out conversations with only two people to discuss it. One was a person with a STEM Masters degree that works for a high technology company. The other was a retired STEM professor. Both of them were in agreement that this issue exists.
Afterwards, over the course of a few months, I had some additional conversations with close friends during which this issue was unexpectedly broached. One father of a student who won many research awards acknowledged that the first ‘project’ for which he won a major award and was a stepping stone for all of his others could have been completed by many students. His son was fortunate to get the connections and ‘mentorship’ needed to complete this project and there was no extraordinary academic capability needed. I had another conversation with a close friend who has a STEM PhD from a very prestigious university. He had spent time with a student that over the last few years had won extensive scholarship money and awards at research fairs. My friend had concluded that this student was practically a fraud for reasons mentioned in my second bullet above.
The 2024 Regeneron ISEF took place a few months after these conversations. I heard about some major awards that were won by students my friends and I knew. Honestly, I would just roll my eyes for the above reasons. There is no question that some of these winners are extremely bright and talented. But it isn’t because of these projects.
After my son told me about Doe, I went online and found some Reddit threads dealing with Doe and this issue with science fairs in general. At the end of this post are some of the statements I found which support my assertion.
Now I understand that this post by itself is not enough to make the claim that these major science fairs have an extensive amount of fraud irrefutable. But to convince ~me~ otherwise, I would like someone who is qualified and unbiased to say to me something along the lines of:
“I know that many of the projects at ISEF and similar competitions and events appear to be at the academic level of professors, graduate students, and experienced industry research scientists. I also know that there is a pervasive perception that students are riding the coattails of such people to achieve these results and complete these projects. But I can attest to the fact that virtually all of these projects were completed by the students themselves with no help from adult subject matter experts. The students have put in hundreds of hours to do research, run experiments, and put together all the work needed for these projects themselves and if you scrutinize the work, you will find a miniscule amount of, if any, plagiarism or fraud of any kind. In doing so, these students have demonstrated tremendous academic capability that you will find in extremely few, if any, students their age. These students are 100% deserving of the scholarship money, awards, recognition they get and it genuinely demonstrates the abilities that should be needed to gain admission to a top university.”
This is what I would like to see happen:

• Scrutinize all submissions over the years to ISEF and other similar events the same way that Doe’s submission was scrutinized. Look not only for examples of similar fraud but also examine what work to achieve the results of the project was done by the students themselves versus what was done by other experts. Also look to see if exceptional academic capability was truly demonstrated by the student in the project. Start with the ISEF submission referred to in the dossier on Doe’s submission. Then go to all the other submissions this year and go backwards in time. Publish the finding in ways similar to the dossier on Doe’s submission. I know this would take a lot of time and effort from many people, but anybody who commits fraud to the level that Doe did deserves to have it exposed.
• Reform these science fairs:

o Encourage competitions in which students are given STEM case studies with problems to solve. Give students a limited amount of time to architect solutions which detail how these problems could be solved and also demonstrate exceptional academic capability. Judge the students on the quality of their solutions.
o Establish ‘checkpoints’ for submissions to major events like ISEF that are NOT district, regional, or state level science fairs. These checkpoints should be when the projects are at different levels, e.g. concept phase/baseline, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% complete. At each checkpoint, minimum criteria should be established that need to be met to advance to the next level and only top projects should advance. Judges should scrutinize the projects the same way Doe’s project was scrutinized and they should make sure that it is the student doing 100% of the work with no help from other subject matter experts.
I will conclude by saying that I truly appreciate how “through a global network of local, regional and national science fairs, millions of students are encouraged to explore their passion for scientific inquiry” as stated in the Regeneron press release announcing this year’s awards. I also think that all the students, including Doe, who have projects at fairs like ISEF are extremely bright and talented. But because there is so much to gain from doing well at these competitions, students, parents, and others have resorted to unethical tactics to produce great results. If the Society for Science doesn’t reform the fairs in the ways above, I would very much like to see them do so in ways that brings the highest levels of scientific integrity back into these events.
Statements from Reddit threads regarding fraud in science fairs:

• My question is ‘how are high schoolers still allowed to do this (submitting frauded work) every year? How do they get away with it? And why do they still win prizes?
• Do you really believe any “high school” student can do highly technical assay like immunofluorescence and get beautiful results deserving of a PhD thesis?
• Same competition that gave a prize to that kid who found a way to “detect pancreatic cancer.” I’m sure this type of thing (submitting frauded work) is very common in it.
• Most that I’ve encountered had parents in STEM fields that could give them connections to labs and mentorship. It’s almost impossible to enter these fairs without some sort of mentor who is willing to dedicate their time to some high school kid.
• Most ISEF finalists (and award winners) have at least one parent working in college/industrial research-parents who have pointed their kids towards science fair projects and research internships with connections to famous labs and amazing opportunities that the rest of high school students don’t have access to.
• A lot of ISEF attendees were basically getting carried by their professors and post-docs in labs just piggy-backing off of each other’s research in order to have a better shot at applying to colleges.
• It’s difficult to be a high school student creating projects on the level of projects which have been lowkey pirated from experienced mentors/researchers, and I’m pretty sure that the majority of award winners had major (like MAJOR) outside help.
• I also went to ISEF my sophomore year, and the majority of the projects there were just students latching onto other professors’ projects.
• I work on my engineering projects tirelessly at home……….., only to get overshadowed by lab-built mentor-produced projects that I simply can’t beat…….
• Many times I personally feel it just fosters an atmosphere of cheating, plagiarism, and is not indicative of passion or hard work, rather just someone else helping you do a lot of work and you putting your name on it.
• There was a group of people at my school who moved onto the state ISEF competition only because they piggybacked on a professor’s brain research…………..
• I also was just at Intel ISEF and 10000% agree (these projects are not the work of the students themselves).
• I asked my math professor at Columbia for some research opportunities in applied math and PDEs and he said something along the lines of “you are nowhere near useful for research until graduate school (10 second silence) you may see a lot of people in high school doing research but 90% of those projects are fabricated and are not theirs.
  
• I continue to lament the fact that there are many projects that won ISEF trips (among other awards) because the kids piggybacked off of mentors’ research.
  

Publix is a con game. I started in Produce at $9 per hour in 2016. They eliminated the retail bonus a few weeks later stating that the employees wanted that (gave the excuse that they were " building it into the wages" so that the employees would not have to wait for their bonuses). I got nothing since I had not been there a year yet. They raised the salary windows slightly at the same time, but I got nothing again because my $9 an hour was already above the salary window! Stuck in part time so no holiday pay, PTO, or medical. Their claim that they offer medical insurance for part time is a facade because you must reach and maintain 1500 hours per year to qualify and they will limit your hours to make sure that you never qualify. You also need 1000 hours annually to get a stock payout. I know someone who was full time who had to work more than 8 hours for a few days when they were in a bind, but instead of paying him overtime they forced him to take 2-hour lunches the rest of the week to keep his hours for the week under 40 hours. They also docked his pay for the day his store was closed due to a hurricane! Also, I never EVER received any paid 15 minute breaks that they claim to give- they made me take my breaks and lunch all together and clock out for the entire hour, so I was cheated out of 30 minutes of pay every day. This was being done at BOTH of the two stores that I worked at. At one store, we had to throw produce in the dumpster each night before closing if the expiration date was the next day but we had to barcode scan it as a donation! I quit after about 6 months and went to work for a real company.

[Part 1](I used to a soldier... something found us in the Siberian woods. (Part One)) [Part 2] (I used to a soldier... something found us in the Siberian woods. (Part Two))
I don’t remember much about the war.
On that famous night – 8th of August 2008, Batu and I were watching the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing. So many athletes from so many countries. Even through the screen, I could feel their excitement and how proud they were… And then klaxons wailed. The entire base exploded with activity. We had no idea what was going on. Were we under attack? Or was it just an exercise? Or something else completely?
Major Volkov told us that Georgia attacked the rebel Republic of South Ossetia and the Russian peacekeepers were under heavy fire. The war began. I could not believe it. That was a mistake or a sick joke…
Batu chuckled hysterically, while I was close to fainting.
Our comrades looked less impressed. Some were the veterans of the First and Second Chechen Wars. Many had been to South Ossetia before – 1st and 2nd Battalions were taking turns as peacekeepers since the last war in 1991. Back then South Ossetia wanted independence from Georgia, and Georgians responded like any other. The first war was swift and brutal. Villages burned, cities bombed, and civvies were slaughtered in the most creative way possible. In the end, South Ossetia stayed independent. For more than 15 years the peace held…
And now it was time for Round 2. I could not believe it. It felt unreal, almost like a fever dream. Batu was even more shocked. His home village was a half planet away – his Asian features were a cause of multiple jokes and teasing from other soldiers. We both were just conscripts and were not even supposed to be in this mess!
At worst I expected to face insurgents, fanatics, and terrorists. The idea of an actual war with another country was laughable. How could 2 states that both had McDonalds go to war with each other? We believed in Francis Fukuyama and his idea of the End of History. Yes, we were that naïve.
“Hey, kids!” I heard the jovial voice of Sergei – our machine gunner. “Stay close to us, hey? Don’t worry, everything will be OK… God will know his own!”
He laughed loudly seeing my sour expression. Sergei had a peasant round face and was almost 2 meters high and wide like an ox. His friend Viktor punched him in the shoulder and shook his head disapprovingly. Those two were attached at the hip – Sergei carried our platoon’s PKM while Viktor had a heavy backpack full of ammo and spare barrels. I’m not sure I would have made it that far without them. When me and Batu first arrived at the barracks, it was they who shushed the other kontraktniks and took us under their wing.
We saw the first casualty even before entering the South Ossetian territory. The lead BMP of our column smashed into a UAZ of another regiment, crushing the driver instantly. When our own BMP drove past the wreck, I could only stare in disbelief at the red paste that used to be a person. The column went on without stopping. Sergei spat on the ground and muttered something angrily, while Viktor just shrugged and kept arming his PKM belt.
Our 135th Motor Rifle Regiment was the tip of the spear, thrown into the fray ahead of the major forces.
South Ossetia met us with hot summer weather, sharp cliffs and narrow passes that slowed our progress. The column of almost 5 dozen vehicles – IFVs, trucks, and command UAZs stretched over kilometers. Few times we held our breath when the BMP maneuvered on particularly narrow sections. The threads were perilously close to the edges of the cliff.
The caravans of Ossetian refugees complicated our advance even further. There were thousands of them running away from the Georgian onslaught. Ossetians looked at us with a mix of awe, curiosity, and hope. To them, we were like an angelic host. Kids threw us fruits and sweets. The elderly made signs of the Cross and offered cigarettes and local booze.
In the distance, we heard the thunder of artillery fire, shrieks of Su-25s, and the roar of Grad rockets falling from the skies. The South Ossetian capital was pounded to dust.
My first combat… was nothing like in the movies. No grand charge toward the enemy, no fancy battle cries or heroic speeches. One moment and Batu were riding on top of our BMP, and the next an RPG rocket barely missed a vehicle in front of us. Then we saw the flashes of gunfire behind the tree line at 3 o’clock. The bullets bounced off the armour sounding like Death’s dinner bell. It all went to chaos after that. Our company commander – Lieutenant Gavrilov screamed to spread out and return fire. There were confusion, fear, and the enemy “somewhere in that direction”. We could not even see the bastards – the distance was too great, the tree line too dense. The bullets hissed and crackled above my head. The BMP autocannons thundered – each shot sending shock waves, hitting my ears and insides like a sledgehammer. My mind was trying to figure out what was going on, like an ancient Windows 98.
Sergei, God bless his soul, dragged me behind cover, and then kicked me in the face. Sudden pain and the smell of blood returned me to reality.
“Stop gawking, boy!” boomed Sergei, holding his PKM in one hand. “Vitya, prepare another belt!”
The machine gun sang its familiar song like a jubilant prayer to the God of War.
I raised my AKM and sent a shot burst at the enemy. Then suddenly remembered that I had an upgrade. GP-25 under-barrel grenade launcher – courtesy of our Praporshik. A huge grin appeared on my face. The first grenade went out with a loud pop, and the rifle kicked me in the shoulder like a horse. I counted 4 heartbeats before it exploded in a cloud of smoke, filling the tree line with shrapnel.
The smell of engine fumes and the sound of gunfire almost drove us to madness. The entire battalion was showering the enemy position with everything we had. The site was glorious and equally terrifying – like a tidal wave shallowing a cruise liner.
After Major Volkov managed to calm us down, the silence returned. Even the BMPs’ engines sounded less menacing, and more like a cat that found a jar of milk.
My body felt numb, and my head was clear of thoughts. Funnily enough, it felt a lot like post-coitus – wobbly legs, hard breathing, clear head. As if nothing had happened, we jumped on our BMPs and moved on. Batu looked gloomy, clutching his rifle.
“I think… I think I killed someone” he confessed after we drove a few kilometres.
He carried an SVD. The scoped rifle left little room for blissful denial unlike for us regular grunts.
“Congratulations on the loss of virginity” Sergei smirked dryly. “Don’t worry kid. It will get easier”.
Batu nodded. He did not cry or wail. Nor did he look particularly shaken. He was just… sad. Nothing could have been said or done after all.
The rush of adrenaline during the fight slowly faded away, leaving me exhausted.
Some of my comrades looked cheery – sanguine even. The others were scared but play it off, trying not to lose the face. Me? I was thinking. No, I wasn’t overwhelmed with some anti-war sentiments. For the first time, I realized it was not a game, nor some exciting adventure. A wild bullet could end my life at any moment. I was not some gallant hero; I was one of those Halo NPCs used as cannon fodder. What would my parents do if they received my death certificate? Mom’s heart would be broken, and Dad would spend his life trying to find those who sent me to Ossetia and erase their entire bloodline. I dearly hoped it would not come to this. I did not want them to suffer even more.
Once we crossed the Gufta bridge we were ambushed again. Normally, the recon group should have warned us… but we WERE the recon. An ATGM tore the lead BMP apart. All 3 crew members died in an instant. Luckily, the guys on top managed to jump off at the last moment. A pair of Mi-24s flew over our heads as if answering our prayers. The Crocodiles unleashed their payload incinerating the enemy. We cheered loudly trying to suppress the sheer horror inside. We saw people just… disappear in a blink of an eye. It may sound cliché but seeing this personally…
Our battalion was the first to enter the burning city of Tskhinval. Every building had a sign of heavy bombardment. Civvies and the remains of local militia were hiding in the basements. The Georgian raiding groups roamed the streets facing little resistance.
A T-72 suddenly appeared in front of us. Men were sitting on top of the tank waving Georgian flags and cheering at us. I saw the eyes of one of them widen in shock when he understood… Our BMP autocannon burst like the Sun in its wake. In a second, the boy and his comrades exploded like piñatas. The tank hurriedly retreated leaving trails of blood and guts.
The city fighting had begun.
My memories of that time are all fuzzy. I remember we ran to cover when enemy bombardment began. How we were praying and cowling in the rubble, while the ground shook and the air trembled. That felt like the world was about to end. I remember us storming an abandoned school, clearing it room by room, and expecting to see a barrel of M4 behind every corner. I remember emptying half a mag into a guy while he was desperately trying to reload his gun. I remember the smell of fresh pork.
Somehow, I stayed in one piece. A broken nose, cuts, and bruises all over the body were a small price to pay. Some were not that lucky. Our company alone had five 200s and 300s.
The next week was a series of absurdities. Our regiment HQ ordered us to advance. The commander of the 58th Army demanded we hold the position. A column with the head of the entire North Caucasus Military district was ambushed on the other side of the city. Several passing Russian Mi-24s and Su-25s took us for Georgians and tried to blow us apart. Nobody knew why he was even there…
Major Volkov was swearing like a sailor, cursing the bureaucrats, and promised to personally punch the general in his fat face.
In the end, Georgians were driven back to their territory, and for a moment we thought that was it… Until Chechen battalions “Vostok” and “Zapad” along with VDV units advanced to the Georgian home field. By that time something resembling the chain of command was restored, and we finally received coherent orders. But before we managed to reengage the enemy, the ceasefire was announced. Our column stopped 40 kilometers away from the Georgian capital. It felt… strange. I knew that storming the city would be a nightmare. But part of me felt cheated somehow – we were the first to enter the fray, days before those Chechens and paratroopers even arrived. We bled, died, and suffered the idiots in the HQ. Georgians tried to kill us, our comrades tried to kill us, even some civvies tried to kill us. We earned our right to fight. And now we were told it was over. The mix of joy and frustration made my skin crawl.
But cease fire didn’t mean peace, however. The Russian forces occupied some Georgian territory, including the remote villages that technically were part of South Ossetia, but were occupied by Georgians.
So, Major Volkov sent our company to garrison one of them.
It was a remote settlement located between Georgian and Ossetian checkpoints. A small dirt road led high in the mountains. While we struggled to climb up, Lieutenant Gavrilov drove ahead in his command UAZ.
Once we reached the village, we found Gavrilov talking to a priest. Black robe, long beard, and a fancy hat with the golden cross. Batu immediately froze, looking shaken and a bit scared.
“He looks exactly… exactly like the man I saw in the woods!” Batu whispered. “He... He…”
“They all look the same” I reassured him, suddenly remembering that accursed night. “The priests I mean… Don’t worry – I’ve seen dozens of them before”.
“You did?” he asked hopefully.
I nodded, realizing that Batu’s people were Buddhists and he had not seen many Christian priests before. After seeing one in the woods, he probably was wary and a tiny bit paranoid around them.
The priest and our lieutenant started arguing louder. I could see the frustration on Gavrilov’s face and the stern look the priest gave him. They both were quite unhappy with each other’s. Only then did I notice a small boy no older than 10 who stood behind the priest. I saw proud defiance on his face.
Finally, the lieutenant turned to us and shouted:
“2nd Platoon on guard duty! The rest of you – clear the area! We might stay here for a while.”
The bearded priest shook his head disapprovingly, turned around, and went toward a small church in the distance dragging the boy with him. The kid caught my gaze and gave me the finger…
My face twitched. Suddenly, Batu grabbed my hand and looked at me intently:
“No,” he said sternly.
I took a deep breath and lowered my gun. The little shit was still looking at us making dumb faces, testing my patience. I got so used to Ossetians seeing us as their saviors, that I forgot that for Georgians we were like an invading barbarian horde.
“O sancta simplicitas” I muttered quietly.
“What?!” Sergei asked surprised.
“Nothing. Just an old Latin saying”.
“Nerd” he smirked.
We advanced with caution – no one wanted to get shot by some village idiot playing Rambo. The village itself welcomed us with dead silence. The empty windows looked like empty eye sockets. Only a few houses seemed inhabited, but I still saw no people. No kids running around, no babushkas sitting on the benches along the streets. Even the most wretched villages were usually filled with life: the dogs barking, the gooses and cows shitting on the roadsides, and old ladies wailing at their husbands.
Not here. I could only hear the shivering of the wind and the squeaking of old shutters. As if the entire village was dead. Sure, I did not expect a welcoming committee: most of the Georgian families would flee in fear of Ossetians’ vengeance. But some should have stayed: those too old, stubborn, or stupid to leave their ancestral home.
“Looks like we’re not in Kansas anymore” muttered Sergei, looking at me and Batu. “Kids, stay sharp. I don’t like it”.
We both nodded.
Some houses looked well-maintained. The fences and the wooden walls were in good condition. But I noticed something that stood out like a pink elephant in a funeral house – the metal bars on the windows. Heavy locks and bolts on the doors. I knew it was not supposed to be there… What kind of villagers would fortify their own homes unless they were afraid of their neighbors?
The other houses seemed abandoned for decades. I assumed they belonged to the Ossetian families who lived there before the first was.
Despite the sunny day the desolation and eery silence somehow reminded me of the night in the woods. Batu caught my eye and nodded nervously. We both suddenly become on edge. Paranoia, sixth sense, intuition, premonition – call it whatever you want, something was not right.
It didn’t take long for our company to check the territory. We found no inhabitants, except an old priest and his grandson who lived in the nearby church. The empty village… it felt wrong. Like finding an animal carcass with no clear signs of death.
“Well, this one is next!” Sergei pointed at a small house.
“Looks abandoned,” said Viktor quietly.
“Means it will take just a couple of minutes. Children, with me!”
I rolled my eyes – both Sergei and Viktor kept calling us kids, children, runts, etc. This annoyed the hell out of me. Though to be fair, I was too much of a chicken to confront Sergei - the guy was 2 heads higher than me. I didn’t want to get on Viktor’s bad side either – despite being “oh so mysterious” and silent, Viktor had spent the last 2 decades jumping from one warzone to another: Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Chechnya, and now Ossetia. In other words, I was not stupid enough to mess with those 2. Plus, I was grateful to them for helping me and Batu when we first arrived. So, we followed them wordlessly.
The fence of the house was falling apart. The gate opened with an ugly screech – the hinges long rusted under the elements. It did look abandoned – the front door of the house lay open, the perimeter was covered in tall grass, and I could barely see through dirty windows.
Batu sniffed and then grimaced.
“Smells bad,” he said to no one in particular.
“Good doggy” laughed Sergei loudly.
I smiled, but then it disappeared when I saw Viktor carefully approach the door and signal us to shut up.
“Someone breached it,” he said thoughtfully. “Shot the lock, kicked the door in.”
“Marauders?” I wondered.
He shook his head and then disappeared into the dark hall of the house. Sergei followed him, and so did me and Batu. The air inside was stiff and smelled of dust and old bones.
Viktor kneeled in the corridor looking intently at the floor. I noticed dark splashes all over the walls. You wouldn’t need to be Einstein to recognize dried blood.
“A few men barged in. Shot the host – a man of the house probably” Viktor said pointing at the black spots and scratches on the floor, then picked up a brass shotgun shell. “A buckshot. Point blank.”
“The bastard probably spent a fortune on dry cleaning” Sergei smirked.
All three of us stared at him. Sergei hissed defensively:
“Alright-alright, no more comments! Jeez, no need to be such jerks!”
“Not soldiers then,” Batu nodded pointing at the shell. “They wouldn’t use shotguns.”
Viktor frowned and whispered curiously:
“Still… strange.”
He proceeded carefully inside the house. The living room was dark and messy – an old TV and dusty cabinets were covered in spiderwebs, a table turned around, and shards of broken glass and silver cutlery lay all over the floor.
I noticed an old family photo on the wall. A young couple with 2 kids looked at us from the picture.
“Someone fought back,” said Viktor drily, pointing at a table knife covered in black stains. “Managed to get one of the attackers.”
Sergei ran his shoe over an old puddle of blood.
“Didn’t help them much” he said nonchalantly.
“Damn robbers” I concluded.
“Not robbers” Victor replied. “Look around. The TV is still here. The cabinets are not opened. No one even bothered to pick up the silver. They came after the family.”
“So, pogrom then?”
He shrugged and moved into the bedroom. It looked mostly untouched: the double bed was still neatly done, and family photos and women's jewelry were on the bedside tables. An ancient Nokia 3310 lay on the windowsill. Viktor moved to the next room, looking completely uninterested.
He opened the door and froze. I saw 2 small beds, plush toys in the corner, and a Lord of the Rings poster on the wall…
“Fuck” I muttered.
If the dark spots on the floor and the splashes on the wall indeed were blood, then this place looked as if someone butchered a pig here… with a buzz-saw.
Even Sergei was taken aback. Batu frowned and spat on the floor. I was ready to throw up. We all were not saints, but this....
“Not a pogrom after all,” Viktor’s voice sounded confused.
“You mean that,” I pointed angrily at the bloodstains all over the room. “Is not pogrom to you?!”
“If you’d seen one, you would know, kid.” He suddenly told me sternly. “They would drag the survivors outside, shoot them, and throw the bodies into a pit. Then would take everything valuable and leave looking for another family to butcher. This… looks like they were in a hurry or scared witless. Too messy and sporadic. Besides…”
Viktor pointed at the movie poster.
“What?” Batu muttered fighting nausea.
“That film,” he turned his cold gaze to me. “That was released just a couple of years ago”.
I froze realising the obvious. The poster, the cell phone – both were from the 2000s. In my naivety I assumed that the massacre happened during the first war in 1991 – Georgians and Ossetians slaughtering each other was a mundane reality back then. But this? This happened during peacetime!
“Jesus Christ, Vitya,” Sergei groaned. “Enough of your Yugoslavia stories, you scare the children. I say the house is cleared. Now everyone, get the hell out of here.”
We moved outside as fast as we could. I still saw the image of what happened inside. It was one thing to kill in battle, but this? This was just violence for violence’s sake. I knew humans were horrible creatures in general but seeing this reminded me why I stopped socialise before the army. It shook everyone. Batu was a silent type by default, but this time he just stared forward unblinking, no doubt replaying the memories of what he saw over and over again. Even Sergei finally stopped talking nonsense and was all serious and irritated. Viktor… well, I think he had already seen plenty of these horrors in Serbia, but this one piqued his curiosity somehow.
Finally, the village was cleared. We hadn’t found anyone except for the priest and his grandson.
The only location we didn’t check was a cemetery. Somehow, I had no desire to walk around the dead. But of course, the lieutenant chose our squad to sweep the damn graveyard.
It was strange to me that the graveyard was so far away from the church. In fact, it was exactly on the opposite side of the village. The feeling of unease was even stronger there. The ground itself emanated cold. Not a physical cold – the sun was high in the sky and were sweating. No, it was… different kind of cold. The one you feel looking outside a window during a blizzard.
It felt almost as if someone was draining my strength. Sucking my body heat little by little.
The graveyard at first glance looked like any other. But I notice there were no granite tombstones, instead all the graves had simple wooden crosses, most of them already falling apart. No dried flowers, no food, or drinks were offered to the dead. The village was just a stone's throw away, and yet no local babushkas and dedushkas came here to look after the graves?
Hell, no one ever bothered to clear the wild grass and bushes – the damn things grew so much, it made some routes completely unpassable.
I stopped. Batu, Sergei, and Viktor went the other way and were nowhere to be seen – the damn bushes blocked the view. But before I turned back, I saw a concrete stair leading deep underground to a rusty metal door. A huge metal lock was hanging on it. One glance at it made me shiver. It reminded me of those stories of cursed houses that were burned by locals, leaving only stairs to the basement where evil still lurked.
I cursed profoundly but tried to rationalize. Maybe it was an old bomb shelter? Or an actual basement of a long-destroyed cottage?
Against my better judgment, I took a step forward, surprising even myself. My eyes were fixed on the door. I made another step, but this time stumbled on something. A small metal stake was pierced halfway into the ground. A small cross was engraved on its head. I looked around – as expected there were a dozen of similar stakes. And they all circled the entrance to the basement.
“Nope!” I told myself out loud.
It was surprisingly hard to step away. As if my legs were paralyzed. But my fear and a meticulously calibrated internal BS detector made my body move. My imagination already ran wild: that the metal lock fell off and the door slowly opened. And the clawed hands came out and were slowly moving closer to me.
I wanted to turn but ordered myself to walk. Just one more step. And again. And again.
Then I ran.
Back then I had already known there were places you must stay away from. That was one of them. I just hoped the others would not try to F-around and find out. In hindsight that was foolish.
Until late evening the entire company was busy fortifying the village. The entrance was blocked by a checkpoint, and an NSV was overlooking the main road to the village. All other routes were mined and booby-trapped like in good old 1916. Mortar teams had already got their firing solutions. Gavrilov even managed to commandeer an artillery battery from another regiment to provide us with extra umpf.
Sergei found us a small house where 4 of us could sleep. Only problem? The graveyard was right next to my window. No one seemed to be concerned about and I asked Sergei, he just laughed and offered to read me a story before bed.
“Ah, what a life!” Sergei exclaimed jumping on his bed. “Hey, Vitya, remember the last time we lived in such comfort during a war?”
“No” Viktor grunted and kept cleaning his AKS.
“Exactly!” barked Sergei. “This house is sweet: warm beds, clean sheets and we even have a running water! It's like a vacation! And we are getting paid for every minute of it!”.
“You are getting paid,” I murmured. “Me and Batu will receive literally nothing.”
“Don’t worry, boy! Already spoken to the lieutenant! You’ll get your veteran status. It's a pretty sweet deal actually: free public transport, free utilities, and monthly payments! Oh, and your kids will go to Uni for free, how good that is?”
I scoffed:
“Wow, such generosity! I’m so happy I could jump out of my pants!”
“Keep your pants on, boy! You are too young to talk like that!” Sergei laughed. “But seriously, it's not much, but it’s something.”
“You are lucky this war didn’t last longer,” Viktor said drily, still focusing on his rifle. “A few more weeks and… well, you’d be more like us, than normal people”.
“You are normal” I blurted confusedly.
Viktor and Sergei looked at each other and boomed with laughter. I got used to Sergei’s light-hearted nature, but Viktor… Seeing him laughing was scarier than stepping on a landmine. Batu and I glanced at each other uneasily. They kept laughing so hard, I thought they were going to choke. Finally, Sergei wiped his tears and said:
“Boy, never lose that sweet innocence of yours!”
We had spent some time chatting. Sergei told us that he used to be married and had a daughter. His ex-wife was sick of them always moving. Throughout his service, he was stationed almost in every corner of Russia – from the border with Japan to Kaliningrad near Germany. Viktor was single – the army being his only family. I felt sad for both of them, but at the same time respected their dedication.
Batu told about his village and how he had been hunting with his father and older brothers since he was little. I knew there was more – his eyes darted to me worryingly, and I decided to ignore it.
My story was ordinary – just another spoiled brat born with a silver spoon. I never talked about the island and the death of my friends. Nor had I mentioned the woods.
“So, that why you are spewing all these Latin nonsenses!” laughed Sergei, passing me a cigarette. “How come you are here with us peasants?”
“I’ve got lost on my way to Uni” I smirked taking a puff.
Soon we decided to call it a day. The 2nd platoon was on watch duty, so we had time to relax. The moment my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.
I still don’t remember what exactly I dreamed of. The details had blurred and faded as soon as I opened my eyes. The only thing that stacked in my mind – the echo of sheer horror and overwhelming panic.
Batu was shaking me frantically. There was fear and urgency on his face. I breathed hard and tried to suppress the scream that was rising inside of me. My heart pounded like crazy, my throat spasmed and my clothes were covered in sweat.
“Wake up, you! WAKE UP! Come on, we have to get out of here!”
I was still disorientated, my body refused to obey. I fell from the bed feeling vomit coming out. After the spasms stopped, my mind cleared at last.
“What… Batu? What’s going on?” I asked in a shaking voice.
“We have no time! We need to wake the others!” Batu screamed. “Help me!”
I saw Sergei was thrashing and convulsing in his bed. He let out a roar full of pure horror. From time to time, he muttered short but colorful obscenities. Viktor was in a similar condition. He screamed, and cried and begged someone to stop… His hands darted from side to side as if he was trying to reach his weapon.
No matter how hard I and Batu tried – none of them woke up. Screaming, slapping, shaking – nothing helped.
With each passing moment, it was getting worse. I saw drops of blood in the corner of their mouths and then realized it was time for drastic measures.
“What are you…” Batu asked.
I took my bayonet and stabbed Sergei in the shoulder. He roared and opened his eyes. Immediately I regretted my life decisions – without warning, a giant fist punched me in the chest, and I dropped on the floor like a sack of potatoes.
“What the?!..” Sergei roared looking around like a cornered animal.
He instantly grabbed his rifle and started aiming it all around. His eyes were wide, his hands shaky.
“Wow, easy there!” I said raising my arms. “It’s all right-It’s all right.”
Sergei didn’t listen. He jumped to Viktor and started punching him with all his strength. The other kontraktnik stopped crying and opened his eyes – Sergei had just enough time to jump back as Viktor tried to gut him with a knife.
After a few seconds, we all just stared at each other breathing heavily. But then Viktor’s body convulsed, and he dropped to the floor and vomited blood.
Sergei immediately followed Viktor’s example – we heard another gurgling sound.
“Suuuka…” Sergei muttered painfully. “What the hell did we eat last night?”
This was when I heard it – the screaming outside. That was not someone barking orders or panicking over the incoming enemy. That was a howl of a person being skinned alive. Like a piercing wail of klaxons, it made my teeth ache and my soul tremble.
“Get your weapons!” barked Sergei still dizzy and walking on shaky legs. ” We are under attack!”
“Wait, something is not…” I started but was interrupted.
The door swung open, and I almost opened fire on reflex. Viktor grabbed my gun just in time. I saw one of our comrades in the doorway – I couldn’t even recognize the guy. His uniform was torn and stained with blood. His face was pale and eyes wide with terror. He rushed inside, screaming like a lunatic. That was Ruslan Klimov – 2nd Platoon sergeant.
Something outside yanked him back so fast we could not even see. One moment he was there, and the next his face disappeared into the night. Ruslan screamed as if he was mauled by a bear. Then somehow his wailing came from above. We could hear him banging and thrashing over the metal roof – dust fell from the ceiling under his relentless beating. Then banging stopped and we froze in horror when his harrowing cries began sounding further and further away like the squeaking of a mouse snatched by an owl.
We all stood there trying to digest what the hell happened. Batu clutched his SVD closer, Viktor was breathing hard through the nose – panic and uncertainty seen on his face.
The sound of automatic gunfire pierced the night. I saw muzzle flashes and heard panicked shouts.
Sergei rushed to the door, machinegun in his hands. I barely had time to react when his back disappeared in the darkness. Viktor followed him limping slightly. Batu looked at me not sure what to do. I did not want to go outside… Something told me it was a very bad idea. But what choice did we have?
We ran after Sergei and Viktor, flashlights on.
The village delved into chaos. The tracer rounds lit the night, houses were burning, and people running and screaming. I heard the rumble of the BMP engine and then the loud bang of the autocannon.
“Get down!” Sergei appeared out of the darkness and jumped on me.
Something exploded, and my ears began ringing.
Viktor and Batu dropped near us.
“Move! Move! Move!” Sergei screamed into my ears. “To the vehicles!”
We all ran toward the backyard we parked our BMP. A guy appeared from a burning house, all covered in flames. He was screaming something unintelligibly. Viktor stopped, looked at him for a second, and then raised his gun and fired. The burning man dropped to the ground.
The fires painted the area in a soft orange tone. We ran hearing the gut-wrenching cries of our comrades everywhere. They sounded less like humans and more like pigs in the slaughterhouse.
I felt something fall on my cheek – something warm and sticky. Raising my head I saw movement in the night sky. At first, I thought it was a bird. Then I noticed the wings – pale and sickly like the ones of an albino bat. My heart skipped a bit when this “bat” dived at us.
“Incoming” I screamed opening fire.
Sergei and Viktor immediately stopped and joined me. The machinegun thundered followed by our pocket flashlights piercing the night like an anti-air searchlight. Once or twice, we caught a glimpse of this “bat”, and it was enough for me to know that we were screwed. That thing was the size of a child with clawed hands and thin legs with too many joints.
“Move, I’ll cover!” barked Sergei lighting the dark skies with tracers.
We ran a couple of dozen meters, and then me and Viktor stopped opening fire and covering Sergei’s retreat. The winged creature tried to lunge at us twice, but Sergei’s PKM was enough to persuade it otherwise. That blasted thing was too nimble in the air. It flew absolutely soundless and quickly evaded our beams of light.
The BMP stood where we left it. I felt relieved getting inside through the rear doors. Batu and Viktor get into another door. Sergei kept firing – the barrel of his gun glowing red in the darkness. One of the things swooped on him slashing his face. I saw blood sprayed out. Sergei fell on his back dropping the PKM.
“Ai, blyat! Can’t see! Can’t see!” he tried to cover the wound on his forehead.
I took his hand and began dragging inside the BMP.
Sergei was heavy like a boar. He then screamed – something grabbed him by the leg and tried to pull out of the vehicle. Batu raised his SVD and a whip-like sound almost deafened me. The creature let go.
I slammed the door shut.
It was dark inside, and I could only hear our heavy breathing and Sergei’s non-stop swearing. An armoured fuel tank separated us from Batu and Viktor. For a moment, it felt like we were finally safe. Then something hit the BMP’s armour. The sound resonated inside like a dinner bell. We heard scratching and silent growls all around us. Something was trying to get inside – yanking the hatches and trying to squeeze sharp claws into the gaps.
“Boy, get into the gunner seat!” I could barely hear Viktor’s order behind all the scratching.
“Go!” Sergei muttered finally wiping the blood from his eyes. “I’ve got this”.
His leg was a mess. I saw deep slashes and bitemarks – the whole chunks of flesh were missing and bone was clearly visible even in a dim light. To this day I have no idea how he was still awake with wounds like this.
I managed to squeeze into the gunner seat – the space inside of BMP was cramped, to say the least.
Viktor sat on the right in the commander’s chair.
“Boy, turn the night-vision on and shoot!” he ordered loading the autocannon.
I leaned toward the sight – the grainy image appeared in front of me. I could barely see the surroundings – the sight was the original one from the 80s. That was definitely not like Call of Duty.
But even so, I saw several bat-like shapes in the skies.
“Fire! Fire! Fire!” Viktor commanded.
I pressed the button on the antiquated controls. The autocannon spewed fire. I pressed another button, and the coaxial machinegun angrily joined its big sister. The creatures dodged the shots – too damn fast.
“Switch to rapid fire!” Viktor shouted.
Finding the right button wasn’t easy in the dark, but I managed. 30 mm Autocannon thundered again this time much meaner and angrier. 550 rounds per minute announced our defiance. With gloating satisfaction, I saw creatures scatter and flee.
A human figure ran toward us from the burning house. That was Lieutenant Gavrilov!
The man was chased by 2 creatures flying over his head. I placed several bursts just above him to scare them away. At first, it helped, but then a winged bastard dived from the skies and snatched him. Several beasts joined the feast covering his entire body with their beating wings – they started tearing our comrade limb from limb. Blood and entrails fell on the ground. It took a few seconds before they dropped whatever was left of him. Admittedly that wasn’t much.
The night vision suddenly went dark. I heard the sound of glass breaking.
“What the?..” I muttered.
“Shit!” growled Viktor. “Clever little…”
“What the hell is going on?!” Sergei barked from the troop compartment.
“They blinded us” angrily muttered Viktor. “Boy, see the driver seat underneath you? Get there and try the lights!”
I almost stuck in the narrow hole between the seats. Barely squeezing myself, I tried to find the right switch to turn the headlights.
Nothing happened. I tried again.
“Don’t bother, boy” Viktor didn’t sound surprised. “If they managed to break the sights, no wonder they took care of the damn headlights”.
“What are we going to do?”
“Check the driver’s hatch and get your ass back here. I suggest getting some sleep”.
As if hearing him, the creatures responded with loud screeching and… hysterical laughter. They sounded like a pack of drunk hyenas.
“Can we just leave?” I asked uncertainly. “I can drive, you know”.
“Yeah, without headlights or night vision?” Viktor laughed drily. “We’ll roll over a mine or fall off the cliff. In the morning we’ll be able to see the road at least.”
I nodded.
Sergei was already bandaging his leg. Several empty syringes lied near him. He showed me thumb up and kept wrapping the bandage over his limb.
I heard Batu chuckle.
“What’s the matter?” I asked.
“We really should stop getting ourselves in situations like this,” he said humorously.
I grinned and shook my head.

I downloaded it using qr code and it installed straight to the home screen of my ds. Originally I searched for maybe trying to get it to work through TM++ but decided that would be a lot of work according to other posts, I did try to see if checkpoint would work but it doesn't seem to work with downloaded ROMs.
So main thing is anyone know how to get cheats for unbound as well as access the cheats and apply them to the game/save?

Hey everyone. Just want to say first of all, love this game, and loved Stellaris as well.
HOWEVER
The campaign is exceptionally glitchy. I liked doing the campaign as it was teaching me how to do everything slowly, instead of dumping everything on me all at once. but during the roderian campaign, glitches have essentially made me restart it 3 times, each time a new glitch occurs and I have to restart it all over. I had similar glitchiness in other campaigns too.
I hate playing as these stupid rats lol. The latest glitch is that I cannot steal the planet destroy spying thing after reloading a checkpoint, but the game also thinks I already have it and should use it on their home planet, which it won't let me do (I think the game thinks I already have it, so I cannot steal it again, and also cannot use it)
I even used cheat engine to change the turns remaining, thinking "okay I will just keep stealing until theres nothing left", but even that did not work.
So I guess my question is, are there any save files I can download so I can skip this mission? Or some sort of console thing to get me through this?

Ever met up to the weekly race for the free 2500vc and wonder how someone finished it 10 seconds before you? I just witnessed it now.
They cheat with the jet pack. This guys just flew around the checkpoints and got in long before I did with the electric skateboard. Tried messaging him but ofcourse it was blocked.
2k, ban these guys.

(Sorry for typos or grammatical errors I’m on my phone and it’s a ton of info to edit.)
At this point I’m a 99 percent sure Diddy is the one pulling the strings behind the Kendrick and Drake beef.
At this point I’m a 99 percent sure Diddy is the one pulling the strings behind the Kendrick and Drake beef. I believe that Al B. Sure! was planing to release all the info he had on Diddy in 2022, but may have been poisoned beforehand similar to theories about Diddys’s ex wife Kim Porter who was originally married to Kim before Diddy stole her away along with Al’s son, also Diddy’s stepson Quincy. Diddy has also been directly tied to the murders or mysterious deaths of at least a half a dozen more people who were close associates from the beginning of his career and were key players in the formation of Bad Boy. Coincidentally many of the victims had either exposed or were threatening to expose evidence related to all of these crimes. They are also using Keefe D. to take the charge for 2Pacs murder so he can spin the story and leave out and ties to Diddy who ordered the hit or did it himself.
Unfortunately for Diddy, unlike the rest of the people he had successfully silenced in the past, Al ended up coming out of his coma and revealing all the info he had on Diddy, including that he was responsible for him falling into a coma. After he came out of the coma Diddy knew he was about to go down and before the raid he destroyed and staged all of his homes with evidence that would verify all the claims related to other celebrities over the age of 18. Meanwhile he got rid of all the videos involving murder, sa, child abuse, bestiality and other evidence that would bring major charges. This is so he can cooperate with the Feds and help reduce his sentence. If he hid all the evidence they would know and work overtime to find it. Instead he lied by omission and corroborated the accusations that won’t completely destroy him. He can then release all his dirt to seem like he made all the blackmail with the intention of bringing down known predators who were able to get away with the same things he’s guilty of.
In the video of Diddy in the wig, he talks about partying with Drake and The Weekend and I believe he was able to acquire the blackmail. He then released the blackmail to selected people to ensure they leak at the appropriate time. The plan is to publicly out Drake for sex crimes so the rest of Hollywood knows not to testify against him. During the auction mentioned by ebony prince they are going to auction off all the dirt Diddy has collected the last 30 years. This includes dirt on Trump, which may be the reason behind all of this. The auction is four days after Election Day and will be used as a fail safe in case Trump wins the election.
I’m trying my best to add everything, just struggling because I have like 30 pages worth of write ups. If you want more evidence I have a ton, on my other account, I don’t want to spam so just dm me if you want additional evidence. The full post above is multiple pages long so I just chose the important part because very few people on here have the attention span for it.
You don’t have to believe it, it’s just my personal opinions, but they are based on facts and about 80 hours of research.

Yesterday I found Ye’s full interview with The Download from before the beef blew up. It discusses a lot of my connections and hints that Ye is partially involved. You can skip to around 13 minutes in.
(Recently the charges against Lucian Grange were dropped showing he most likely is working behind the scenes as well and has some influence. He may be related to the leak as well. He could have also been the one who supplied the blackmail. Another alternative is Diddy went to the feds on his own accord, but when multiple lawsuits pop up very quickly, especially after thirty years of avoiding charges related to tons of sketchy shit, it usually means there is some type of coordination. Look at TI and his wife’s allegations and what lead up to those events.)
Full post:
This is all speculation so please don’t victim blame or spread conspiracies about a possible survivor of C.S abuse. This is why many don’t come forward. All I’m trying to do is point out the large amount of details surrounding the rumor that stand out as odd to me. By no means does this dismiss his claims. I’m not a lawyer, but if he was suing my client, this is some of the evidence I would use in the case.
Before I start I need to put in a small disclaimer. **The subjects I covered in my essay are well known to be linked to conspiracy theory communities that have been equated to terrorist groups. The end goal of a lot of these communities is to promote political divide, antisemetism, homophobia, and violence. I think the ultimate goal is to create such a massive gap between the left and right that the two party system fails and we fall into anarchy allowing the people who really pull the strings to restructure and in order to retain their power. It’s already evident that Biden isn’t able to do nearly as much as he could do if he didn’t have to consider the opposing party’s majority vote as well. Whoever wins I feel the results will be the same, violent protests aiming to reverse the vote. If this is achieved it will be the death of democracy in America.
I highly encourage anyone who identifies with either political party and are attracted to controversial subjects or consider themselves to be contrarian to please look out for any conspiracies that seem to be targeted towards you or the community you’re a part of. If they share similar ideas to the findings I made in my research, please do not engage.
I’ve watched the conception and the eventual downfalls off the P-gate and Q conspiracy communities. It didn’t take me long to figure out the eventual end game and step back from the community while continuing independent research. If you’re letting someone else to the research for you, you really need to be sure to trust the source and be aware of possible ulterior motives. It’s really dangerous territory though, filled with hidden traps that can draw you in and send you so deep that you either end up going into psychosis from the stress and paranoid, or you do what I did and step back for the sake of your mental health. I hate even sharing things like this because I know it may not have the effect I intended, but on the other hand people who are new to these subjects and conspiracies really, really need to take them seriously. They are not just games on the internet and there is a reason members of these communities have to hide in the shadows and lure people into their dark corners. There is also reason why they target the groups they do and I’ve noted a huge effort to indoctrinate people in rap community, the content creator community, and the celebrity gossip communities. I’ll let you guys draw your own conclusions as to why this is. I assume if you read this far you’re not dumb.
Once you’re stuck in their web it’s very difficult for most people to find their way back to society without seeing examples everywhere. I hope this is able to at least help one person who might be teetering on the edge of these rabbit holes. It’s not worth it and if I wasn’t sober and taking my meds, Id probably end up having a psychotic break. If you feel like you may be approaching that point you can still quit while you’re ahead.
Here are just a few of the things you can do to keep yourself from spiraling.
Take a step back for a while and focus on other things. Taking a hiatus from social media is crucial. If you can’t control yourself maybe detach from the news and internet entirely for a couple days. Even a long weekend can make a MASSIVE difference.
Try to get a good nights sleep and consider taking melatonin or an over the counter sleep aid.
Spend some time with friends or loved ones.
Eat some good, somewhat healthy, food and stay hydrated.
Try to get some sun and consider taking a walk or doing some other form of exercise.
Volunteer or do something to help your community if you want to continue working to benefit society.
Try to read a book or spend some time doing your favorite hobbies that aren’t related to any of the subjects I discuss below. Without further ado…
Ties Between Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Violent Antigovernment Conspiracies
I recently saw an article about Bryshere Gray, a rappeactor best known for his role in Empire. He was born in Philadelphia and started rapping at 16. His manager Craig Mack, who facilitated his big break by getting him a role on the TV series Empire, is life long friends with Will Smith. Currently there are conflicting claims about whether he is currently suing or planning to sue Will Smith and P. Diddy for s. abusing him as a minor. It’s rumored he is trying to get 50 million dollars in damages. That number alone seems suspicious to me. That’s 20 million more than Cassie got and she dated and lived with Diddy for over a decade.
One of the other things I noticed off the jump was the fact that the only sources regarding the case were on social media along with one article on MSN, which is known for being a nest of clickbait journalism. Essentially they are the written version of gossip videos made by content creators. The only evidence I could find in these videos were a few short clips from his socials where is talking about the negative sides of fame and a clip of him on the red carpet with Will Smith. This might hint towards suppression, but I’m leaning toward this whole story being bullshit.
The only connection I found between him and Diddy is a song he did with 2 Chainz and Fabolous, the latter being signed to Bad Boy. He ended up getting signed to Columbia which falls under the Sony Music Entertainment while Bad Boy is under UMG. Considering these rumors came about a while back he hasn’t mentioned it at all as far as I know. Some might argue this could be a product of friction between labels or that he included Diddy because everyone knows he’s going down. On the other hand if he is a victims he may not have wanted his story told and doesn’t want to stoke the rumors by responding whether they’re true or not.
One of the biggest things that led me to question the validity of the claims is the fact that 90 percent of the sources I found were using a three minute clip from an interview with one of the top content creators on YouTube, I’ll call her J. At this point I’m 99 percent sure J is an opp, whether she knows it or not. She told his story in vivid detail accusing Will and Jada of luring young artists with promises of mentorship, then involving them in their bedroom activities.
It’s not really a stretch to think that Will might have a cuckold fetish and probably swings both ways. Two things that could ruin you in the 90’s, but neither or them could do more damage to their careers then they have already done by airing out intimate details of their relationship to the public. However the allegations involving minors are complete heresay. This leads me to believe these are just rumors from the 90’s updated to include modern conspiracy theories. J clearly also clearly has some homophobic tendencies, but uses her bisexuality as a pass to bash on most black gay men and even straight men who she claims to be gay. It’s all too obvious she still holds onto resentment over her career never taking off while a lot of the people she collaborated with turned into megastars which is a huge motivator for her content. She clearly still lives in the nineties when these type of allegations alone could seriously damage your career.
In Bryshere’s case, regardless if any of the details she shared were true, they shouldn’t have been aired to the public by anyone but Gray himself. This isn’t the first time J has leaked recordings, exploited, or stolen from victims she claimed to be advocating for. She has even doxxed victims by starting a women’s group for sa survivors and recording all their meetings. She eventually leaked some, claiming they were trying sabotage the group. When the rest found out or were threatened themselves, the group was quickly dissolved and covered up. Considering her track record it’s not unlikely that if true, she released Gray’s story after trying to ask for a payoff and not receiving it. Considering their is no evidence they’ve even met, it’s more likely she’s just reporting on local rumors considering her and Gray are both from Philly and now both live in the Dallas. It’s very important to look at J’s history to see the bigger picture here.
My theory is J was given permission to share her story detailing the dark side of the industry and promised protection if she also included certain details that they provided to her. If true, the motive could have been to help her home channel gain credibility and attract a large viewer base so they can manipulate the message. I believe these people do know some shit about some people, and they want to get out ahead and make sure they only go after their rivals.
I followed J, an up and coming influencer, to examine to see if I noticed any obvious agendas and stumbled upon a full blown conspiracy. I use as an example started with very levelheaded claims that were easy to digest and over the course of five years this influence lured in their viewers with insider knowledge that turned out to be true and by the end was spouting rumors that are easily traceable to certain movements that have been tied to antisemetism, anti LBGTQ, and violent ideologies. It started slow with a few buzzwords and before you knew it the comment sections had been taken over. She started by luring in the celebrity gossip community, specifically people over the age of 40, who treat gossip blogs like the gospel. It’s obvious why this community has been chosen as a target, and I’ve seen recently to rap community is not much better. I imagine whoever is orchestrating this campaign probably wasn’t expecting it to be this easy.
We very well may be witnessing a controlled takedown and the purpose usually is to take out any liabilities while painting their innocence. If a lot of sick people get outed for terrible crimes most people will assume the Feds weeded out all the bad seeds. It would be a public win for the FEDs and would address any criticism aimed at them and those in the industry who have been facing pressure to deal with these types of issues for at least 3 decades. It will also assuage a lot of the conspiracy communities who have been trying to bring light to these issues. I definitely believe the people they chose to take the rap are going to take the charges for all their co conspirators, so those close to them don’t catch any charges. This would be very important in a R.I.C.O. case.
After they’ve completed their mission and their message has been delivered they will then allow these messengers to continue to capitalize on their channel’s popularity. This way they could still manipulate to spread whatever they choose whenever it’s deemed it to be necessary, It probably won’t work too many times before people catch on. In they want to continue making content they can force them to dig up their old dirt. They could also easily provide them with a list of names they are and aren’t allowed to talk about. My guess is they know that most of them aren’t going to be able to find anything, and since they picked people willing to to say any thing for money, they know they will continue to do it with or without relevant information.
They could also continue aiding her in an effort to further the spread disinformation as a preemptive measure. They may threaten harm or violence if the view counts dip below a certain amount to prevent the messenger from self sabotaging in case they need to get their message to the massesIf in the future. If they do ever need them again to do the same thing or are themselves being targetted, they can use their messengers to discredit the facts about them and shine light on those who are leveling the allegations.
You may be wondering what if the enemy finds them and pays them more to doublecross their handlers? They can then use their messenger’s mental illness and paint them and their viewers as violent or mentally ill members of a disinformation cult and either blackmail them into retracting their claims or label them and their listeners as a disinformation cult that happened to be right about some things. Mental health issues can also help paint the narrative that the messenger is suicidal so they can take her out easier if needed. In the case of J it’s not out of the realm of possibility considering her recent struggle and probably played a big part in choosing her to be their mouth piece. since they can use her mental illness at any time to discredit her or create plausible deniability if any connection is made between them and they need to go to court to prove the opposite.
She’s such a wildcard their is no way they would’ve recruited her if they didn’t have an iron clad manipulation tactic with multiple failsafes in place. Usually threatening to kill someones entire family works just fine, but she doesn’t seem to be too worried about her families safety. This is why I think it’s the big labels going after their own artists because they know they’re probably going to get busted soon. Also studios rarely sign you and give you a good deal if they don’t have some type of dirt in case the artist to keep them in line, and use them for their own personal gains. They can also keep them from going after the messenger and better ensure their safety. If they had her go after another label’s artists they probably wouldn’t be able to cover all the bases when it comes to protection, which with J is necessary since she never has any security detail and constantly doxxes herself and her family on live.
While going though her interviews it became very clear to me something was very fishy off the rip. It became obvious after watching sections from all four of her main interviews that as time went on she began incorporating more and more lies and more and more ridiculous conspiracies into the narrative. For most people as soon as they hear a blatant lie they immediately write off anything coming from the source. Most people don’t do their own research so if the messenger tells a couple little white lies with a dramatic flair they can get away with it for a while. The more lies though the higher the chance of them getting called out and losing a portion of their audience as well as making any truth information that can’t be verified sound sketchy.
As I’ve said before J first two interviews do have a lot of verifiable claims, juxtaposed with her life story, and a few blatant lies. One thing I noticed is the majority of her allegations are against artists from her hometown in Philadelphia who were breaking into the industry around the same time as she was and managed to make their way to the top of their respective industries. Sadly neither of J’s two albums were well received and she lost her opportunity because of her combative personality mixed with major narcissism.
After her music career didn’t pan out she moved to Dallas, Texas to try to rebrand. After her son was murdered in 2018, similar to her career, her mental health took appeared to take a nosedive. Before the first interview in 2020, apparently rumors were floating around she was living out of cars and motels. She then met her husband who was ex-military and it seemed like he really built her up and helped her, possibly even writing the stories. In that first interview she accused multiple artists of mistreatment as well as assault. It went semi-viral and a good portion of the accused either provided evidence to contradict her or said the don’t want to go into it, and they seemed to know the situation and feel bad for her. The rapper Common, who she claimed had abused her even said he hopes she’s ok and wished her well. A lot of her fans took this and twisted them into him being guilty because he didn’t go off on a rant trying to claim his innocence and shit on J like they were expecting.
I belief either before or after the first interview got some attention she was contacted and either paid or blackmailed into doing another interview where she was fed information, some truth some lies, and told to mix it in to her life story. I also think her husband may have been one of her handlers. My suspicions stem from the fact that he popped up not long before the first interview and married her after like 3 weeks. I also noticed his way of speaking was also was very similar to J’s and he’d even use similar vocal inflections and speech patterns. They also displayed a lot of similar quirks. Another coincide is he claimed he was responsible for most of the technical support and played a huge part in establishing her online presence. He claimed to have learned everything in a day, and apparently people were shocked at how quickly he learned how to code websites and manage her accounts. A few weeks after getting married she had already made him a fifty/fifty partner for the a new television network she was promoting around the time, but was designed to steal peoples money.
She returned for a second interview in December 2022 and during her second video she mentioned Diddy and dropped a lot of information regarding his current case, his connections to many celebrities, and many specific details about their lives only an insider would have access to. Still there wasn’t much evidence to verify a good portion of her claims until Cassie filed her lawsuit a couple weeks later. I’m almost positive whoever is trying to bring Diddy to justice is connected to whoever is giving her all this info. During the interview J once again eloquently details the dark side of the industry.
Unfortunately her second interview was overshadowed by two separate incidents that both occurred only a few days later and were also caught on her live stream. First she was arrested at a Chicago airport for losing her mind at the security checkpoint. Not much longer after that during an apparent psychotic break, she was filmed in a barbershop parking lot abusing her husband then taking her sons ashes and throwing them her husband and his friends while acting like she was literally possessed. In a later interview she claimed to have Dissociate Identity Disorder from all the trauma and admitted that it was the cause of her psychotic breaks, which totally applies if someone was severely abused at a young age like she has claimed is the case. Eventually she was restrained by the police, strapped down, and tied to a stretcher.
After she got out of a mental hospital a couple days later, her and her soon to ex-husband did a couple separate interviews followed by one where they both discussed to situation together. Before the joint interview their original stories did not line up at all. From their description of events it’s obvious she was cheating and he seems intelligent enough to that, but instead claims the now leader of the Carbon Nation sex cult we’ll call Sol. According to their story he hypnotized her the first time they met and manipulated her into joining her and her husband on their planned weekend roadtrip after meeting in person for the first time. He also forced her into saying she wanted to kill her husband multiple times and letting him touch all over her while they were all in the car together. After that she went on and shared a painfully detailed description of the abuse she suffered as a child all they up until she left the industry. Not much longer after that her husband filed for divorce, further contributing to the spiral.
About three months ago she did another interview that clearly was made by someone else and was loaded with editing mistakes and long gaps without sound that are so muffled you can barely hear them. She also obvious took clips of the interviewer from previous interviews and pasted them together to form new questions and edited them in between her responses. This is also where her claims were all either recycled or included the wildest pizzagate rumors. Then as always she included them in her personal anecdotes so people feel bad for questioning her. The last interview I saw came out less than a week ago and it was even worse than the last and it seems like she’s now just shitposting and seeing how much she can get away with and sadly as expected most people are still eating it up out of the palm of their hand. People who literally worship these influencers like Gods.
Sorry for the giant tangent, but it seems obvious to me that the husband and the two interviewers were all working together. He dressed her up, got her sober and kept her on her meds so she could deliver these interviews. At the same time she was the one who agreed to literally sell her soul and I believe she conscientiously made the decision to scam others. I think everything with Sol was either planned by the three of them or at least the two men who both appeared randomly and were obviously both manipulators. They used their, “divorce,” to really kick things into overdrive and then either both left her there jobs were done. In my humble opinion it’s more likely that they are all mentally ill, desperate for money, and playing roles that were assigned to them for a very specific purpose. I’m almost positive the whole marriage was a sham to help contribute to the narrative that everything in the first two videos was true, until she lost her mind because of the DID, PTSD, and stress.
The last thing I’ll mention before getting back to Bryshere Gray is how I found it interesting that she chose a DID diagnosis. Bipolar used to be a big one, but most people these days know at least one person with it, and it’s easier to tell when people are faking. DID and BPD are the trendy ones now because they aren’t as well understood and easier to fake or play up for the camera. The large numbers of people obviously faking their symptoms, based off the symptoms of some influencer who is also faking. This makes it very difficult to know what’s . It’s also commonly brought up in more radical conspiracy groups as being part of the satanic agenda or brainwash people. I think they were intentionally trying to attract people who would get anything related to the movement send to the deep corners of the internet where those types tend to hide.
This all leads me to the wildest connection of the story. In 2015, when Gray joined Columbia Records, he was signed alongside his future Empire costar Jussie Smollett who ended up playing his older brother. For those who don’t know or remember in 2019, Jussie Smollett was found guilty of staging a hate crime against himself somewhere around the 4th season of he show. The expensive investigation revealed the motivation was political after revealing Michellle Obama’s form chief of staff reached out to Smollett’s lawyer and requested the case be handed over to the FBI. His lawyer then forward the request to Chicago’s Superintendent who approved the request and the case was dropped. After a massive uproar, pitting democrats and republicans against each other, he was resentenced in December 2019 and to this day his legal defense team is still trying to drag out the case so the prosecutor just drops the charges and they don’t have to admit guilt. (If interested the Wikipedia article sums up the whole thing very well.)
Up until his arrest for domestic violence over three years ago where he was caught multiple times lying to the police in his interview, he was found guilty. Seemingly overnight his career tanked and he essentially disappeared and clearly seemed to be dealing with some mental health issues. I find it interesting that after four years of silence he’s just deciding to come out now, and if this case is real in the first place I wonder if anyone is going to draw all these connections.
Aside from Smollett and Gray, the cast list attached to the TV series Empire reveals a lot of connections to a lot of high powered figures with strange connections to this whole conspiracy. A good example of one of these connections is Terrence Howards’s character, a top record label president named Lucious. After skimming the first season’s plot points, some appeared to be directly based on attributes commonly associated with Diddy.
When I looked a little deeper I found that Howard, who also originates from Philadelphia, was cast as the lead actor on the show, while still finding the time to deliver his infamous guest lectures around the world. The main focus of the lectures was discussing the theory he hypothesized which he appropriately named, “Terryology.” This came after being blacklisted from the industry for nearly seven years prior for beating up a crew member and being convicted of multiple domestic violence charges. After the incident with the crew member in 2008, it was revealed Howard had been replaced by Don Cheadle in the sequel to his last hit movie, Iron Man.
Around the same time in 2008, he also signed a record deal with no other than Columbia Records. This came a few years before his infamous on screen sons joined a the same label years later. This can definitely be connected to Howard’s relationship with Gray’s manager Charlie Mack. Some other people who made guest appearances on the show include Naomi Campbell, Cassie, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Mary J. Blige.
The creator of the show Lee Daniel’s, the popular democratic activist whose connections go all the way up to the Obama’s, Oprah, and the Clintons. (Before I go any further, please don’t go down this rabbit hole much further, and to the people who use these type of stories to promote their agendas and spark even more political discord. Now more then ever we need to reel in both the far left and far right and meet as close to the middle as possible or else both candidates are going to continue to be worse every election. Please keep any comments politically neutral. I hate both candidates and I’m simply making connections and could care less who wins the upcoming election.
I think what we’re seeing now regarding Drake, Kendrick, Diddy, and people like Bryshere Gray and J and other influencers and content creators are all be used as weapons to distract people from something major going down and the fact that it’s only getting crazier every day, it appears whatever I’m referring to is yet to come, but won’t be long. Please keep all of this in mind before you start trying to research subjects like these. You may realize that some of the ideologies that have been chastised and tied to violence have been saying these types of things for years, and most of their evidence has been proven already or align with everything we’re seeing.
The paid protestors at Columbia is another example of political theater. Here is where people make the connection to Semetism and where most subscribers theories go off the fucking rails. Just because a lot of these things can be tied to Israel and Jewish Americans, a lot of people like to blame them for all the worlds problems, what they don’t realize is most of this stems from cultural traditions and generational wealth that was gained through hard work and promotion of high education. This has resulted in the majority of Jewish Americans holding more wealth than the average Christian household and most if this stems purely from jealousy and fucking Hitler. This is why the majority of people who go all in on these types of theories don’t have any further education than a high school diploma.
I know this doesn’t make them all dumb, but even a lot of very intelligent people like Ye and other major public figures got sucked into these communities without realizing they were part of the same agenda they were trying to expose. That’s how you end up with Ye saying he loves Hitler in a public interview and promoting Trump for president and supporting the fucking, “white lives matter,” movement along with the Candace Owen, the republicans answer to AOC. Even people with more formal education and fewer biases can and have been successfully targeted by these communities. It’s been shown time and time again that many of these recruiters who have been in their respective communities since their inception usually end up end reaching the same conclusions and the more people there are to confirm your beliefs or suspicions, the more likely it is you’ll accept everything else in they say as true. (This is a very similar conclusion the one I reached in my essay about J).
My belief is someone from the same circle that J was in during her singing career are the same people who reached out to Katt Williams and other blacklisted artists with long recorded histories of mental illness and substance abuse problems to lie by omission and allowing them to release preselected pieces of evidence without repercussions. They could easily know what information the Feds were able to acquire. They then had her leak those details to the public so when the details to come out it makes she can work with the Feds and dismiss any other allegations even if they are true. Obviously it won’t determine the outcome, but it can definitely go a long way in making sure certain details of the defendant choosing can be struck from the record if the evidence isn’t good enough.
At this point I’m a 99 percent sure Diddy is the one pulling the strings behind the Kendrick and Drake beef. I believe that Al B. Sure! was planing to release all the info he had on Diddy in 2022, but may have been poisoned beforehand similar to theories about Diddys’s ex wife Kim Porter who was originally married to Kim before Diddy stole her away along with Al’s son, also Diddy’s stepson Quincy. Diddy has also been directly tied to the murders or mysterious deaths of at least a half a dozen more people who were close associates from the beginning of his career and were key players in the formation of Bad Boy. Coincidentally many of the victims had either exposed or were threatening to expose evidence related to all of these crimes. They are also using Keefe D. to take the charge for 2Pacs murder so he can spin the story and leave out and ties to Diddy who ordered the hit or did it himself.
Unfortunately for Diddy, unlike the rest of the people he had successfully silenced in the past, his dirt ended up coming out right around when Al ended up coming out of his coma and I think it’s likely that if my theory is correct he released all the info he had on Diddy. He even may have hinted in an interview at him being responsible for him falling into a coma. After he came out of the coma Diddy knew he was about to go down and before the raid he destroyed and staged all of his homes with evidence that would verify all the claims related to other celebrities over the age of 18. Meanwhile he got rid of all the videos involving murder, sa, child abuse, bestiality and other evidence that would bring major charges.
This is so he can cooperate with the Feds and help reduce his sentence. If he hid all the evidence they would know and work overtime to find it. Instead he lied by omission and corroborated the accusations that won’t completely destroy him. He can then release all his dirt to seem like he made all the blackmail with the intention of bringing down known predators who were able to get away with the same things he’s guilty of.
In the video of Diddy in the wig, he talks about partying with Drake and The Weekend and I believe he was able to acquire the blackmail. He then released the blackmail to selected people to ensure they leak at the appropriate time. The plan is to publicly out Drake for sex crimes so the rest of Hollywood knows not to testify against him. During the auction mentioned by ebony prince they are going to auction off all the dirt Diddy has collected the last 30 years. This includes dirt on Trump, which may be the reason behind all of this. The auction is four days after Election Day and will be used as a fail safe in case Trump wins the election.
When people who already have even the slightest political biases and less formal education, it can be very difficult to look at these things and not choose a side. This is their agenda to promote centrism and split the left and right even further to promote chaos and anarchy. I advise anyone who identifies as democrat or republican to be extremely cautious when exploring these topics and watch out for the type of things I mentioned. If the information is specifically pointed towards whichever party you identify with, they are trying to suck you in and fill your head with their beliefs.
*Update 2- I’ve never seen this amount of negative responses on any of the bullshit reposts and memes. Clearly people don’t want to actually think for themselves and are just trying to shut down any theory that contradicts their own. Y’all need to stop trying to disprove shit that actually promotes alternative ideas. This is exactly why this community was created. You don’t have to agree with everything, but if you see anything of interest you can do some more research if you’re interested if not just move on and mind your business. Either read it if you’re interested and do your own research or move along and mind your own business.

Figured I'd post something just to quickly sum up the tournament so far now that we're out of the early stages and we have some established groundwork.
A BLOCK -
Titan (LIJ's Lucha Star) - 3-0 Titan made it all the way to 2nd place in the previous tournament and it looks like he's kicking off this year in similar fashion. His wins against BUSHI and HAYATA were to be expected, however less people, including myself, had him defeating El Desperado just like he did in the semi finals of last tournament. He is looking very strong out there.
Blake Christian (GCW Champion, Porn Haircut) - 3-0 Here's an interesting one, and a thousand times more divisive. The GCW World Champion currently has a perfect record including a win over Junior tag champ Clark Connors. His gimmick of basically being "All Heart" as a face but "All Heat" as a heel hasn't exactly won me over, but his matches have been decent. Does he have a chance of making the semis, though? Eh, probably not - Gedo always loves a good story of "outsider starts strong but isn't ready for the endurance test of an NJPW tournament and burns out". Just look at what happened to poor Jon Moxley once Toru Yano got hold of him!
El Desperado (Is Fed Up Of Everyone's Shit, Especially GoD's) - 2-1 You poll a hundred NJPW fans and probably 95 of them would tell you that Despy was making it out of the block, and with good reason. El Desperado is main eventing a fuckton this year, and is essentially the ace of the A Block. So far, with a 2-1 record, all seems fine, although that loss to Titan could come back to bite him...
Clark Connors (Considerably Sexier In A Cowboy Hat Than Hangman Page) - 2-1 Besides having the most bitching theme in all of BULLET CLUB and its subdivisions, Clark is also one half of the IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions. Although that often doesn't guarantee success (we've seen Junior tag champs crash out hard in the past), Clark has had a strong start. That loss to Blake Christian in match one probably pissed him off. Wouldn't it piss YOU off?
Kevin Knight (KUSHIDA's Best Buddy) - 2-1 Kevin went a pretty poor 3-6 in last year's tournament, which makes it nice to see he's already well on his way to surpassing that record. Kevin has scored pretty nice victories over Kosei Fujita and TJP so far. Although probably not a popular pick on anyone's card to make it out of the block, stranger things have happened.
Kosei Fujita (Zack Sabre Jr's Adopted Punk Son) - 1-2 It's been an unfortunate pair of losses after a good upset win over veteran Kanemaru in his first match, but, come on, when one of your losses are to El Desperado, you can't take it too bad. Kosei Fujita, in my opinion, has been the highlight of the tournament so far - his match against Despe is the current best of the tournament, and his new gear and entrance music are exciting new additions to this young punk. Can he make the finals? I sure hope so!
HAYATA (Is Much Better At This Emo Thing Than TJP) - 1-2 The mysterious, dark and silent stranger wandering in from NOAH has unfortunately not had the greatest of starts in this tournament, having only picked up a win against perpetual pin-eater BUSHI. As an outsider, your chances of progression are always low, but his in-ring ability has impressed so far as someone who is a total newbie to him. You go get 'em, HAYATA.
Yoshinobu Kanemaru (Evil Drunken Bastard That Broke Taichi's Heart) - 1-2 Kanemaru has basically done Kanemaru things thus far in the tournament. Play up the big heel antics, cheat like a cunt, lose if it doesn't work, win if it does. There's really no chance of him progressing and more of a chance of him just ruining the chances of YOUR favourite wrestler, so if that match has yet to come - cross your fingers and pray that Uncle Nobu doesn't get 'em.
TJP (WHERE'S YOUR HERO NOOOOOOOOW) - 0-3 Fuck, it's been a rough start to the season for ol' TJ. The man swearing up and down to be the strong captain of the United Empire has gotten off to a dire start, dropping losses to Clark Connors, who he's had MANY problems with in the past, but also Kanemaru and Kevin Knight, guys he was clearly the favourite in. His frustrations are showing in his backstage comments too. Will TJP be the guy who gets chosen to be Gedo's obligatory "loses to the brink right at the start, clean sweeps from there to squeeze through" pick of the year? He's certainly the most LIKELY to, because this next guy sure isn't...
BUSHI (Bless Him, He Keeps Trying Every Year) - 0-3 Perpetual openemid-carder, basically in LIJ to be the pin eater, joins BOSJ every year, eat shit, refresh. He's been doing this tournament since 2012 and aside from a 6-3 run in 2019 where he came sooooo close to escaping the block, it's just never seemed to happen for poor BUSHI. Could he make the miracle run from here on, go 6-3, and make the semi-finals with some luck? ... Well, I doubt it, but still.
B BLOCK -
Taiji Ishimori (Stupid Sexy Bone Pervert) - 3-0 With his past handfuls of BOSJ basically either seeing him scraped out by a point or two or even just on a technicality, Taiji Ishimori has come into the tournament with all piss and vinegar and made a strong jump out of the gate. With TWO final spots now open, surely this is the year he CAN'T be eliminated on something like a silly 6-3 finish with a tiebreaker putting him in third... right? RIGHT? GEDO? YOU FUCK?
KUSHIDA (Shining Star of Substitution) - 3-0 Replacing an injured man with a large ass, I don't think anyone saw KUSHIDA have such a powerful start to the tournament, despite the fact he is a long-time veteran, former ace of the whole division, has won more belts than he has fucking pairs of pants, and has two BOSJ trophies on his mantlepiece next to a bunch of assorted Back to the Future merch. He may be getting up there in age, but there's fight in KUSHIDA left.
SHO (I Wanted To Play Dance Dance Revolution With Him, Then He Turned Into A Bitch) - 2-1 IWGP Junior Champion SHO comes into the tournament with a current 2-1 record. SHO had a rather middling run last year and now that he's got the curse of "champion holding the belt in a tournament that's for contendership of the belt", things could be even more dicey. He is looking to murder everyone with his typical House of Torture bullshit. However, thanks to the aforementioned KUSHIDA, that plan already has a dent in it. Hopefully, we will see several more, and for the good of New Japan, the Junior division's so-called "hero" will be vanquished.
Ninja Mack (A Literal Fucking Human Highlight Reel) - 2-1 If there's one wrestler in this tournament who was made to show your non-wrestling friends to make them go "wow" to, it just might be the outsider from Pro Wrestling NOAH, Ninja Mack. With impressive wins over Francesco Akira and Robbie Eagles already, who knows how far he could go? Also, I didn't know anything about his personality before this tournament, but this over-the-top "honourable good guy" gimmick is so corny and Saturday morning cartoon-ish that it's wrapped right back around to being somewhat endearing and loveable. This guy's great.
Hiromu Takahashi (This Year Is Just Kicking Him In The Balls Repeatedly) - 1-2 With early falls to KUSHIDA and even bloody DOUKI, a win against Dragon Dia has kept Hiromu off the very brink of early elimination for now, but what an unexpected rough start from the man that many a BOSJ watcher often made go "LOLHIROMUWINS". With five junior singles titles and four BOSJ wins, it's quite clearly not over 'til it's over, but the deranged cat-lover of LIJ has some work to do.
Drilla Moloney (Don't Call Him Dan) - 1-2 The other half of the IWGP Junior tag champions, Drilla is also in the rough spot of having a negative record at the third-way point. Granted, B Block currently having FIVE people on 1-2 means there's plenty of chance left, but it's still a rough start for the champion. Most notably so far, he's tried to bribe SHO with friendship and an autograph for a "clean fight". SHO is in fucking House of Torture. Guess how that went.
Francesco Akira (Gets Vietnam Flashbacks Whenever He Sees A Cage) - 1-2 Akira has also gotten off to a shaky start, his only win being over the only wrestler in the block to have no wins of their own. Painfully, if you combine both United Empire entrants, their current record is 1-5. However, Akira was considered a solid pick to make it out of the block this year, myself backing him, and there's many more points up for grabs to pick himself out of this bad start.
Robbie Eagles (ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE! OI OI OI!) - 1-2 Everyone's favourite Aussie wrestler (and no I'm not taking different opinions on that), this TMDK member has had great matches so far but failed to get the positive record to reflect that. However, one positive is that his first win so far is over Drilla, one half of the Junior tag champs. As well as still being easily in the running for a semi-final spot, could an IWGP Junior Tag Championship match be in the future for Robbie Eagles and little brother Kosei Fujita?
DOUKI (Actually Getting Some Kind Of Fucking Push This Year, Kinda?) - 1-2 He choked out Hiromu Takahashi. That's kind of all you need to have a successful BOSJ campaign, really, innit? Well, DOUKI has been looking stronger than ever this year, having had an IWGP Junior title shot previously and also having beaten Hiromu prior, but his chances of BOSJ glory still seem on the slimmer side. Expect a middling record from this JAG from J5G.
Dragon Dia (Superman by Goldfinger, In Human Form) - 0-3 Dragon Gate's Dragon Dia closes off this recap as, unfortunately, the only B Block wrestler to be on nil points. He's still impressed in his matches thus far, and his personality as well as skateboarding entrance (get fucked, Darby Allin) has endeared himself to the audiences... even though so far everyone seems happy to mock the skateboard thing, even nice guy Hiromu. Dicks.
Join me at some point between May 22nd and May 26th for the second checkpoint!

Like the title said i can't use cheat option in checkpoint i press cheat option but nothing happen can someone please help thanks

I’ve always understood the rulings around shifting phases to be that if an opponent skips to a certain phase, technically they have to give priority to me for each phase in between that they skipped over.
The example scenario: during a draft game, I have a [[Checkpoint Officer]] on my side of the battlefield and my opponent has a [[Grimdancer]] on their side of the battlefield. It is currently their turn and after playing out their main phase, they immediately declare attackers without saying they are first going to combat, choosing to attack with their Grimdancer. I tell them before that happens, when they shift to the beginning of combat, that I choose to tap the Grimdancer using my Officer (it was fairly obvious that this would be the target regardless of if they announced it or not since it was the only notable threat on the battlefield at the time). They seemed confused and said I can’t do that because they already declared attackers, and I responded by saying that they are technically going through the beginning of combat step and I gain priority before attackers are declared.
From their perspective, I waited until they declared attackers and tried to argue my way into disabling their attacker for the turn unfairly. From my perspective, they technically skipped over the beginning of combat, and it doesn’t matter that they tried to declare attacks immediately and make that information public, they still have to give me priority for the beginning of combat.
Who is correct in this scenario? And regardless, is this a valid way to ensure fairness for everyone involved or is it more of a scummy rules technicality thing that could be construed as annoying or some form of cheating?

First time Souls player here, 6.4 hours in. Went in almost completely blind (as far as the specifics of the game go; I knew a fair bit about its genre and style already). Closest I've played to a Souls game is Jedi: Fallen Order (or Cuphead or Hollow Knight if I'm to believe those people who compare every difficult game to Dark Souls). Having a great time so far. Got a little frustrated on Taurus Demon because the run back was so long, but he ended up just walking off the wall and giving me the victory for free (which I would've posted on this subreddit if I had figured out how to post video) which at that point I welcomed even though I'd normally feel cheated out of a genuine victory. Currently trying to beat Bell Gargoyles (I correctly figured out that the game was subliminally telling you to go the church first before going to Blighttown, no need to congratulate me). Haven't yet beaten either of the black knights along the way (though I have taken the tearstone ring from one of them) - but at this point, I feel like I should have another go at trying to beat them considering my increase in armor, damage and skill since then.
I'm playing as a warrior, as I figured that was a good "starter" class. Investing my souls in a combination of Vitality, Strength, Dex and Endurance. Wearing chainmail armor, wielding a longsword (+2) and heater shield (and occasionally trying to use ranged weapons; keyword "trying"), planning on maybe trying a rapier as I quite like the stabby aspect of the sword. Trying to get good at parrying since I remember parrying being REALLY good in Fallen Order, but unsure if parrying works on everything you can block or if it's more limited to smaller foes/attacks.
Now, for my gift I chose the Old Witch Ring. The reasoning was that: 1) I could clearly tell the Master Key was gonna be really good but feeling like it's sort of cheating (similar to taking lockpicks for a map I'm not very familiar with in Hitman) and assuming every lock the Master Key unlocks can be unlocked with a different key anyway; 2) I couldn't yet tell what things like Goddess' Blessing or Twin Humanities meant or judge how good they were; 3) the "no apparent use" really intrigued me. It clearly implies that there IS a use, just one that won't become apparent straight away. I'm just wondering about one thing: will its use become apparent naturally as I progress through the game, or is it one of those things where you really won't know its use without some serious guidance? That is my only question currently: is the ring's use "play and find out", or is it "yeah you won't find out on your own"? Or is it just "yeah it really has no use, you picked a useless gift"?
Overall, the game is living up to its challenging reputation, but not frustratingly so. I assume many first time players are overwhelmed by the rather opaque menus and the many, many numbers they throw at you - but once you start figuring them out it's really rather helpful just how much information they give you. The only frustrating part is how they don't put checkpoints before bosses (as modern games would) forcing you to trek back a long distance every time. But man, is it a game that keeps you wanting to keep trying again and again. Even now I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I can boot up the game again to have another go. If only I could kill that gargoyle before the second one shows up...

Is there a way to get cheat codes for tomodachi life because each time I boot up CheckPoint and click on cheats for Tomodachi Life it says No available cheat codes for this title

On Speedrun.com, there are some fantastic resources to explore parts of the game that are otherwise inaccessible:
Kitty: Isolation - Resources - Speedrun.com
The first mod to take note of is the "Cheat Engine options" file under "Tools" section at the top of the page.
This cheat hack includes a cheat that allows you to "noclip" through walls, ceilings and floors - allowing you to finally explore all sections of the game that are otherwise inaccessible. Besides that, it allows additional cheats commonly found in other Alien Isolation trainers - be invisible to all enemies (the alien and humans will literally pass each other in complete peace and harmony), have unlimited supply of items & ammo, and be virtually immune to any damage except the alien auto-kill.
PS. Turns out the Alien's AI is even smarter than I expected. The Alien is cheat-proof LOL. If you provoke the Alien and then noclip into a room that is impossible for the Alien to enter, it simply loses interest and goes away, waiting for you to exit again.
The second mod to take note of (suitable really for those who have played and completed the game already) is the "STEVE - Kitty Mod Redux Edition" file under "Tools" section at the top of the page.
This file contains literally every single possible savefile for all missions and checkpoints throughout the entire game, both on NIGHTMARE mode and NOVICE mode. **PLUS There's an added benefit added in to these save files: on the Mission Saves for the earlier levels, as early as Mission 3 (the mission where the Alien stalking begins), you already have possession of the Molotov and the Smoke Bomb -> this will make life a lot easier dodging the Alien until you officially receive the Flamethrower much later in Mission 10.
-> NOTE: If you decide to start on the Mission 3 save, then if you use the Cheat mod mention above, technically you can use the "noclip" hack to cheat your way into locations that contain all other weapons of the game, including the Flamethrower, without affecting the natural course of the game. I have written a simple quick guide to getting all weapons quickly using this cheat below:

• At your starting location in Mission 3 at the Train Terminal of Lorenz Systech Spire, don't leave the Terminal; instead, simply call for the train going to "Engineering", and board it.
• Upon reaching Engineering, proceed to the 2 adjacent downward-leading stairs at the far end of the terminal, and you will reach a junction at the bottom of these stairs: here, there are 2 long corridors to your right & left which both lead to locked doors, and finally right in front you is a 3rd door which is unlocked and leads you straight to a room overlooking the massive Generator Room (which powers the whole spaceship).
• To acquire the Flamethrower, choose the 3rd open door straight in front of you, and when you reach the room overlooking the Generator Room, use the "noclip" cheat to pass through the window and then deactivate it to land on the platform right beneath you which leads into the heart of the generator. Ignore the switches, and just proceed straight forward to the very last door at the opposite side of the Generator Room to where you started. Use the "noclip" cheat again to get into the elevator, which takes you down into the Hive. Activate the elevator. Now, at the very beginning of the Hive section, a Flamethrower will be ready for you to pickup on a table right in front of you. Once you collect it, "noclip" your way back into the elevator you just used, and activate the elevator again to bring you back to the Generator Room. Upon returning to the Generator Room, "noclip" your way out of the elevator door, and retrace your steps straight back to your starting location (just underneath the overlook window that you "noclipped" out of the first time. When you are close enough to the overlook window which will be above you, activate the "noclip" cheat and move yourself vertically upwards, and then forwards, until you are able to fit back into the overlook room. DONE.
• To aquire the Shotgun and the Pistol (both at the same time), return to the original junction area just after leaving the Terminal where there are 2 long corridors either side of you and the 3rd unlocked door in front of you which leads to the room overlooking the Generator Room (mentioned above). THIS TIME, take the corridor to your RIGHT, which will lead to a door that is locked with an Ion pad. Use the "noclip" cheat to squeeze through it, and then take the door at the far back left of the room. You'll soon reach a ladder which can be climbed up - but you won't need to: at the base of the ladder are the Shotgun and the Pistol which can both be acquired at the same time.
• Finally, to aquire the Boltgun, follow the same route as the one above to get the Shotgun and Pistol - BUT, once you "noclip" past the Ion-locked door, instead of entering the room at the far back left, this time go instead into the open elevator at the far back right. Activate it to be taken up to the 2nd floor (there won't be a loading screen for this elevator). Once you reach the 2nd floor, exit the elevator and go straight ahead through the Boiler Room and enter the unlocked door at the opposite end. After entering the door, you'll notice a closed gate to your right - surprisingly this isn't locked and will open automatically when you approach it. Pass through it, and then take the very first door on your left - follow the path all the way until you reach a dead-end room: this is where you can finally acquire the Boltgun.
• NOW YOU CAN RETURN TO THE TERMINAL SECTION OF ENGINEERING AND HEAD BACK TO LORENZ SYSTECH SPIRE TO PROCEED WITH MISSION 3 AND THE REST OF THE GAME AS USUAL, BUT NOW YOU HAVE ALL THE WEAPONS OF THE GAME.

Hey!
I'm a new player that am hardstuck on the ice slide and I want to learn it specifically. I know this is technically cheating, but I'm kind of starting to give up on winning the map ;)
I want to grind the ice slide. I downloaded the map. Is there really no way to create a custom checkpoint for the ice slide? I have tried googling but it's all very confusing.
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to destroy the competitive integrity. I understand that argument completely but as a new player this gatekeeping ice slide is too much for me, to drive all the way there and just fall off every time, and I was enjoying myself quite a bit until I hit this brick wall but I can't do it anymore without taking some liberties on this occasion.

I just got the 3ds remake and I'm trying to use checkpoint, however the only cheat that worked for me is the infinite gold cheat. Every other one crashes my game and I've tried the v1.0 and v1.1 varients and still no success. Would anyone know what I'm talking about and how I can possibly fix this? Thanks!
