2024.05.22 03:24 AAAAAAAee“I hope that you, my most beloved world, know that I never meant to harm you.” *Posts my art and runs away after describing a bit of lore :>*
I included the gl2 version since I don’t know if it would be considered on-topic otherwise. Oh also don’t mind the black on it, that’s covering my signature which is my full legal name :3 so y’know :3 . Ochren is the Deity of Life. They create, govern, and can give their followers the power of anything with life, I’ve described the way that souls and life interact and such in a different post, so I won’t go too in-depth about it here, but, basically another Deity has the domain of Souls, so Ochren’s domain does not include beings with souls. This means that Ochren works primarily with plants and animals, but who they grant their powers to is a bit complicated. Any Deity can interact with their followers, but only their followers. There have been times where Deities will manipulate other Deities to affect their followers, but that’s unrelated to Ochren. The power than Ochren can provide can be dangerous. They can only grant it to those who are able to wield such a great power, if not, they’re unable to. But that’s only one half of it. Their followers who are granted the power must either have a strong enough hand to keep it from overcoming them, learn to, or reject the power. If they have the ability to wield it but not control it, it is entirely their responsibility to reject the power. Among Ochren’s followers, they teach this, but some still don’t listen. Those end up with vines constricting them, digging into their skin and wrapping around their limbs all while suturing the wounds due to the healing property of Ochren’s magic, digging themselves further in and leaving deep, clean scars. [when I draw my OC who this happens to, I don’t draw the scars with such detail, but that’s due to my current inability to as well as not wanting to.] Ochren always means well, they provide their power to their followers, wanting to help. They gave the world such lush ecosystems, wanting to help. They aided in putting people in the world, wanting to give them the beauty of life that they know can exist. But the people struggled to survive the environments. Some beings were safe from their native environments, but people travelled to other parts, and before they evolved to harness magic, they could not survive it. All because Ochren so desperately wanted to give life and beauty and nature to the world that they love so much. . Any questions or comments are always extremely appreciated, as well as that commenting helps more people see the posts, and, with exam season going on, it’d be good if we who can do what we can to keep this sub alive! Not to say that you have to comment, especially if you have nothing to say, but it’s very appreciated! Of course not only on my posts, this goes for everyone’s :]

2024.05.22 03:10 ZenithSGPNew Lost Song: "Ben Eats Peanuts"
So before fully jumping into the lostwave genre (hi from the EKT community, lol) I actually had my own search for a song that I've been looking for for years...simply to hear the full version of it. The catch? Unlike other lost songs, in this case I actually KNOW the artist and the name of the song....or at least what seems to be like a working title. The song from what I can gather is "Ben Eats Peanuts" by The Foxfield Four. https://voca.ro/1kJwIsSvct0J I pulled it from a studio monitor demo that used to be on YouTube and has since been removed. I dug and found a working repost and was able to capture just 46 seconds of it. There also appears to be a live performance of the song by The David James Band (which boasts a lot of similarities, I'm assuming it's probably the same people with a different name). The part that's lost is that aside from that live video, I have been unsuccessful in locating the full song ANYWHERE. I read somewhere that it was released on the Weatherman EP but it doesn't show up in any of the song listings where that album is posted. EVEN SHAZAM PICKS IT UP BUT I CAN'T STREAM IT ANYWHERE!! Perhaps the band pulled it themselves? I've just been dying to hear the rest of the track for years and I can't get this stupid song anywhere. 😭 Hopefully this gets a few more people on board with my search, it's a banger of a track that's pretty well produced so imo deserves to be heard. :c

2024.05.22 03:05 Baby_WolverinePossible suggestions to fix Harvest Beast supplies and mid-tier crafting/itemization
I had no plans on writing a longer post than anything I wrote this whole semester at college, but there's a TLDR if you want at the bottom. I recognize that largely this is no longer the place to post suggestions, but I figure there's no harm in sparking thoughts in other people. Inspired by what I thought of while replying to the earlier post about memory beasts being obtainable through maps.
Personal Experience recently
I'll preface this with the fact that in all my 5,104.5 hours, I have never once actually attempted to use the Harvest beasts, even though I (for every league except the last and the current) ran my memories and captured the beasts. I'll admit to using them each once or twice, to see how they work as well as test if I could get incredibly lucky, but after comparing the outcome to the cost, I decided it is not worth it for a user of my general wealth. That's a problem I've encountered a lot more increasingly lately as I've been taking it slower and slower, but especially this league has been bad. While a lot of the early/majorly important stuff have been getting easier to obtain (specifically with the introduction of the Black Morrigan), the more mid through entry late-game stuff has been increasing in price. 9d per attempt at veiled boots, priced out of best in slot farming unless you drop a MB/HH in the first 2-5 attempts, 10.5d for a divination scarab to HOPEFULLY get a full Mageblood/Mirror Shard in under 9 maps. It has never been worth it as a (level 100 most leagues, multiple characters, usually total worth of around of a mirror) somewhat laid back player in my eyes to actually USE a 10d drop. Sure I could drop a full mageblood in a map, but I also could not. Sure I could get lucky with my first pair of boots and get MS/Chilled, or I could get it on the 15th attempt, spending 100d+ on what used to be a relatively cheap process. The boots are around a 20% chance to get a specific mod, a charge ring, or an explode bow is astronomically small, and the odds of them dropping has been reduced time and time again. If I wanted to make a bow myself, I'd have to not only imprint and roll the implicits I want (3-5d per attempt pre-project, 10d per attempt now) with extremely unlikely odds, but Id even likely want to get a 3 implicit bow considering the massive investment, which I would ALSO need to roll an exorbitant amount of harvest "synth an item." This is no longer something that is feasible for someone who drops a mirror, even if they have all the required knowledge already. A year ago today if I dropped a mirror, I could go for attempting to make myself a stupidly nice bow, and sure it likely wouldn't be mirror tier, but I would've at least thought about trying. Whether it is a falsehood in the first place, or because of the insane cost of crafting high tier items, hat sentiment is now gone. I'll be the first to accept that this is a problem for the 5%, and not the majority nor the 1%. I've considered myself a 5% player, though maybe some of you would say I'm a 1% and the mirror crafters are the 0.1%, but that's not the point. I am nowhere near the point of being comfortable rolling Exceptional IchoEmber for the 1.5% damage boost after finishing my Orbs of Conflict. I settle for 1-2 good mods on one Elevated/Awakened item rather than making 5-10 and using the best while selling the remaining. I'm okay with "only" a 130% adorned, and non-synth implicit jewels. I play the game for fun, and that's it. Fun to me is optimizing/improving without being meticulous; would I like to one day have a mirror tier item on every slot in a character, maybe, but I don't think I ever will. That's a lot of text just to say "I'm not rich (in game) and the game is getting less and less accessible to my wealth bracket" but it makes me think a lot about why the game is feeling less approachable as time goes on, and maybe this is it. This also doesn't even address the Einhar Beast portion of the post.
Continue Revitalizing Einhar to Revive mid-tier crafting
I would not by any means consider myself to be "a crafter" but I have always crafted my own gear because I enjoy to do so, and enjoy learning the mechanics. Would a super high mirror tier crafter have more accurate input? Most likely. But we are not mirror tier crafters. We don't have mirror shops, or stream on twitch, and we are still baffled with some of the items the people who TRULY understand crafting can make in this game. We browse the reddit, and we likely have a knowledge difference similar to that of a Professor and a Student. And that's okay. What isn't okay in my opinion is that the last thing that I feel like was truly introduced as a "new" crafting mechanic rather than easier access to another mechanic is Eldrich implicits. Sure vivid vultures are in the game, but I have never had the money to even think about them. I've never synthesized my own item since Harvest league because it's cheaper to buy one or 2 mod synth items, and I've never used a watcher eye reroll beast. Even though Eldrich orbs (chaos etc.) are rather expensive due to the extreme value they provide, there is a limit to what they can be used for. Nobody would rather have an Eldrich Dmg per power charge/Mana res efficiency helmet than a Synth 92% res multi/+1 power charge, and that would mean that for the VERY end gameEldrich orbs often cannot be used, and thus do not cost unreasonable amounts. My idea for Einhar Beasts is to make the memory beasts available through mapping, but a similar and/or weaker variant. What this looks like to me is a keystone for Bestiary behind Natural Selection (More likely for less common) that allows you to obtain beasts through other mechanics, while also specc'd into those mechanics, something like: "Unnatural Optimization" or some play on the former's name, that has "Allows artificial production of Beasts from other League Mechanics." This could be a couple things, my original thought was for the Adolescent Vivid Vulture:Reroll a Synthesis Implicit Modifier on an item with 2 or fewer Synthesis Implicit Modifiers. This could be gated behind an Atlas Passive along the lines of "There is a 50% chance when upgrading a Harvest Crop to Unique it would instead become an Adolescent Beast." Or maybe 50% chance to be accompanied by? I'm not a numbers guy and I don't enjoy running current Harvest, so I don't know the impact either would have. This would essentially open up mid tier beast crafting without damaging the current insanely high tier crafting we have, aside from potentially making it (barely) easier to approach. An Incursion Beast that "Randomly Removes or Adds 3% Quality to an Uncorrupted Gem" Or maybe the same for gem level. Takes out the "Nothing happened", but also can't obtain double corrupt, basically an upgraded Vaal Orb Something fun like a Vaal Side Area Beast "Adds a COMPLETELY random corrupted implicit to an item." so maybe you get +1 Arrows on your body armor, maybe you get Resolute Technique on your +attack crit body armor. An Ultimatum Beast that "Adds 15% quality to an uncorrupted item, and randomizes the quality." A Breach Beast that "Creates a random non-atlas armor with a single Breach modifier" or "Turns a Breach Unique into a random iLvl 75 armor with one related modifier" to also add some value to breach itself rather than just as a source of monsters. An Expedition Beast that "Sets all modifiers on an uninfluenced item to Tier 3." (Expedition doesn't need anything more imo, it's in a very comfortable place with Rog early, then the others later) A Legion Beast that summons a Highly Experienced General? Idk this is the one that doesn't make sense, but with exp issues now Legion is essentially just a source of incubators, which is alright but doesn't FEEL good. Maybe you would need some other lines in Unnatural Optimization to include "The Scarabs glinting with gold shudder" and you just need a scarab, Bestiary, and then that mechanic; or maybe you don't. Maybe it just adds modifiers to give ways to engage with content you enjoy outside of "Hey kid, I heard you like quant." Returned as finishing the TLDR: Maybe even just throw all these beasts into Einhar encounters in Kirac missions? It gates their spawn rate and forces them to be rare, but also allows for some amount of "targeting" by being able to select "Capture the Artificial ____ Beast" as your mission instead of "Complete the ____ encounter"
Why EinhaBeasts?
Well, the dude's cool. Only person on his level was Z̵̢̢̫̬̈́̏̿a̵͍͔̪̚ṅ̶͍͖̟͊͐á̷̞͐̓͊̕ but she got stolen from us. I also wouldn't mind Einhar revealing he can just teleport through space and time on a whim to join me and Alva to hunt for treasure or to tag along and help kill Chayula. Also, a lot of the issue I take with this game (that largely has/is been/being fixed) is that content often requires you to Do X so you can have fun with Y. Find Contracts so you can run Heist, get Sulphite so you can run Delve. There is also "farm Delirium and you can run Simulacrums." The difference being that you don't NEED simulacrums to have fun with the content. Compared to clicking 3 or 4 rocks is the Delve "content" in maps, and opening a strongbox while hearing Huck's voice lines is Heist's "Content" in maps. Delirium IS the content, Simulacrums are a separate optional location, and many don't even run them. In truth I LOVE the implementation of Beasts: they are a miniboss in the content they belong. In maps you will find all types of tough, boss-like versions of monsters you have seen, that aren't necessarily just "same mob but in yellow." They summon waves of monsters, or effects, or have generally neat interactions that stir up the monotony of mapping (AND STILL CAN BE BYPASSED WITH ENOUGH DAMAGE) without feeling like it is pulling you away from mapping. It adds to the content it is found in, and even more seamlessly than Essence/Strongboxes because there is no interaction to start them. You could enter a Breach and all of a sudden see a Red Beast spawn in a similar fashion to a Breach Lord, or see a Beast Marker in Expedition and say, "Okay, miniboss time let's not make him too hard." Maybe wave 11-13 in Ultimatums have a chance to spawn a single Beast that you need to kill in a time limit, or that stingy prick Merchant in your Incursions could have a chance to be replaced with a Beast you can capture. You might actually enter that Vaal Side Area for once? Even if only to check if the boss has been replaced with a Beast and then leave.
TL;DR
Here we are, you made it. Thanks for reading if you did make it through, and thanks for checking this out if you didn't. 1. I play the game a lot, and have a lot of time, and I'm rather wealthy as a result; but I don't optimize and I play for fun so not THAT wealthy. 2. We have seen a lot of expansion of crafting mechanics (Awesome!) for early, middle, and high end, but lately we have been losing access to only mid-tier crafting (Not awesome!) which widens the gap 3. Items are always priced off of optimal use (10d scarabs, Hinekora's lock, vivid vultures, etc.) rather than casual use. 4. Because Items are priced based on the best use, it leads to many feeling uncomfortable using the items THEY FOUND themselves, because they would likely be able to just sell it for more value 5. Implement mid-tier Beast Crafts (inconvenience fee included via Menagerie) to add lesser versions of Harvest Beasts and similar for many league mechanics. Examples located right before "Why Einhar"6. Beasts are very non-intrusive in the content they are, and serve to enhance the content similar to a Deli boss, medium challenge for medium reward, skip/remove when you are past medium rewards 7. Einhar cool, thanks for reading, enjoy the farming stupid beast
2024.05.22 02:56 FraudjoRewriting the Chainsaw Man Church Arc and predictions for the future (Up to part 3)
While many people hated the Chainsaw Man Church Arc build up, I enjoyed it a lot. But what ill agree with is that lots of the tension was changed with Quanxi appearing and 1 shotting. Even now during the facility arc where she doesn't have trouble fighting Yoru. Shoutout to u/SherewZino. Read their post and really agreed with most of their points. Chainsaw Man Arc Rewritten Quanxi Arrives
Quanxi still kills everyone and the events continue until the Chainsaw man guys wake up
Yoshida ambushes Yoru
It's a POV switch to the Yoru and Yoshida and continuous how it's supposed to with Yoru preparing to go on a rampage cause she's overjoyed by her new power.
Denji vs Barem Part 1
Following Yoshida and Yoru, the narrative circles back to Barem, Denji, Fumiko, and Nayuta. Barem begins his psycho speech again, engaging all three of them into a brutal fight. Aided by Fumoko, Denji fights Barem. Denji is surprised he is fighting in his base form. Barem in his internal thought sees that the Chainsaw Man plan is working and is powering Denji up. However, the situation escalates with Barem transforming into his flamethrower form, becoming a threat to both Fumiko and Denji. As the battle intensifies, Barem relentlessly taunts Denji to transform so he could witness the full power of Chainsaw Man.
Kishibe, alongside Quanxi, arrives at the scene. During the Quanxi ambush against the 3 fiends, Kishibe was actually there at the food court eating. Kishibe orders Quanxi to evacuate the 3, then shares a brief yet impactful message with Denji about balancing his human and Chainsaw Man side. Flamethrower form Barem vs Kishibe begins with Kishibe having the upper hand most of the fight. Knowing Kishibe is about to destroy him, Barem resorts to a big fire blast to escape, leaving Kishibe heavily injured. From the distance Yoru notices this fire blast and begins heading this way. Yoshida who happens to arrive here cause has been running this whole time sees Kishibe and takes him to safety.
Yoru vs Quanxi (Rip Quanxi)
Continuing the narrative, Fumiko, Denji, Quanxi, and Nayuta talks among themselves for a bit before suddenly encountering Yoru. Yoru tells them "What a surprise here" while Denji gives a puzzled look thinking why Asa is there and looks different. Yoru says, "Someone among you smells like Chainsaw Man" then suddenly launches herself at them but her attack is blocked by Quanxi. The other 3 runs away leaving Quanxi behind to fight Yoru
As Quanxi's life flashes before her eyes, memories of Kishibe floods her thoughts, thinking how Makima stopped those two from being a thing. The scene reaches its climax as Yoru ends Quanxi's life by putting her hand on her head and transforming her into a overpowered bow.
Alley Way
Now we're with Denji, Nayuta, and Fumiko. We get the exact same alley scene where Fumiko ends up running from Denji because of Nayuta.
Burning House
This part goes like how it did in the main story where Denji and Nayuta arrives to their home burning. Fumikos team arrives and starts shooting barem. However, they get interrupted by Miri and the two other fiends.
Denji vs Miri and two other fiends
Denji mentally breaks down like the main story and he begins tearing up the 3 fiends. The first two gets low diffed while Barem cheers on the side lines how he finally saw Denji transformed. Fumiko ends up shooting him making him shut up. Miri clashes with Denji in a stand off shocked by how aggressive and broken Denji is and says "Denji...", where Denji ends up slicing him in half.
Denji vs Fumiko
In the moment of rage, Denji seeks for another target. He sees Fumiko and her team and begins attacking them. Denji kills nearly all of Fumikos team but before the last one, Fumiko protected her last team member and tells him to run away. While running away, that person takes a photo of Denji and gets away. This fight continous on but Fumiko is no matched for Denji. Finally, instead of resisting Chainsaw Man any further, Fumiko lets herself get stabbed through the stomach. Using the last moment of her life, she pats Denjis head and says, "Thank you for saving me... Denji". Miri who is on the floor witnessing all of this screams Fumikos name.
Fumiko wakes up in the after life and sees her parents again.
Nayuta saves Denji (The Power saving Denji of Part 2)
Denji begins hyperventilating realizing he killed Fumiko cause he let Chainsaw Man takeover. Using this opportunity, Barem makes the Chainsaw soldiers attack him. The story continous like the main part with how it was supposed too and it ends up with Nayuta saving Denji then getting shot by Barem.
Instead of ending up at the hospital, Denji is at a garbage can then is saved by Nail and Katana.
Denji finally wakes up but out of nowhere Katana Man kicks his balls! Denji realizes he's in a room with the two students, Katana Man, and Nail. He ends up breaking down and saying where's Nayuta and that he has to go but Nail stops him and shows him the news. The news broadcasts the last devil hunter, protected by Fumiko, who captured the image of Denji's battle, labeling Chainsaw Man as a societal menace warranting eradication. Just as tension mounts, a knock echoes through the door, revealing the ominous presence of none other than Yoru. She says, "I know Chainsaw Man is here." (Due to the smell)
Denji vs Yoru (The Aki vs Denji of Part 2)
Approaching the door, Denji is hit by sudden trauma, haunted by visions of Aki waiting for him on the other side. Then suddenly a Yoru blast the door, desotring the building and sending Denji flying. Nail and Katana Man protects Kobeni and the Chainsaw Man fan from most of the damage.
The Chainsaw Man fanboy student tries to think why Yoru would even smell Chainsaw Man there then finally drawing to the conclusion tnat Denji is Chainsaw Man. We get a panel of where it's zoomed into the broken rubble and out of nowhere... a transformed Denji jumped out
Yoru and Chainsaw Man clashes. Yoru mid diffs the fight but the way she ends it is by taking out the transformed Quanxi bow leaving Denji stunned for a second cause he realizes Yoru killed Quanxi where finally he is shot by a big blast through his body, leaving him fatally injured.
Before Yoru lands the final blow on Chainsaw Man, Denji goes back to human form because he's out of blood causing Yoru to hesitate. We are left with a cliffhanger of Yoru transforming back to Asa and her saying, "Denji?"
Fami arrives completely stopping the fight
Trying to make Denji Happy
From here we get a continuation of the last 3 chapters up to the current of where they're just talking and making jokes where we are transitioning into public safety, Chainsaw Man zombies, and society vs Denji and the gang arc.
Eventually Denji and the gang is spotted by a public safety hunter and it gets reported back to the base where Yoshida, strong public safety members, Miri and the two other fiends join him. (Miri joins because he didn't like how Fumiko died)
Public Safety vs Team Denji
Finally we transition into Public Safety vs Denji Team Arc where during this arc a Miri vs Denji clash happens and many more. The climax of this arc is Public Safety + team Denji team up defeats a boosted Barum who finds a way to take Nayutas powers and the Chainsaw Man zombies. The arc ends with Nayuta killing Barem once her powers comeback.
Transition to Chainsaw Man Part 3: Death Devil Death Devil vs Team Part 1
Suddenly not having a break, Death Devil desceneds from the sky. Death Devil summons dead people Denji loved traumitizing Denji (Dead power, Makima, Aki, etc...). Death Devil kills off some Public Safety Members, Nail, Katana, Whip and Spear,
Hell
Fami sends Denji, the crew, Miri, and some public safety members to hell to hide from death devil. Denji who is traumitized by seeing all the dead people remembers Powers wish and begins finding the blood devil.
The crew now needs to escape hell but before escaping hell Fami wants to try to get the Primal Devils to help them. They go through fighting many Devils and finally arrived but out of nowhere it becomes dark again. Denji, Kobeni, and Power is traumitized because they remember Darkness Devil but Fami makes him come out and reveals all the Primal Devils seated around them.
(Kobeni returned during the Public Safety vs Team Denji arc to save her brother from Public Safety)
Fami talks to the Primal devils, it takes time to convince them because of what Fami did to Falling Devil.
Back to normal World
The crew heads back to the normal world to find it very different with Death Devil taken completely over. Seeing people jump off roofs, hurt their friends, etc... A lot of dead corpses from the past walk around the normal world.
Final Fight with Death Devil
Death Devil dies
List of deaths during the final arc against Death Devil --4 Primals die leaving 2 left (Darkness was an impactful one) --Kobeni makes a sacrifice for her little brother, giving him courage and transforming into a better version of Kobeni (Fujimoto wanted to kill her off before anyways) --Miri: Miri and Denji ended up becoming best friends during the Public Safety vs Team Denji Arc. His death is a sacrifice for Denji where it complete impacts Denji --Yoru: Sacrifices her soul to become a OP weapon for Asa --New characters introduced during Part 3 and the Public Safety vs Denji arc --Makima and Aki: Death Devil revived them to fight Denji but they gain their conciousness again. They help kill Death Devil but Death Devils death they had to disappear
I did search the group for Adobe Plans but the information is quite dated and I am not sure that it still applies, so apologies if this has been asked 16M times but I just didn't use the correct search terms ;-) I recently upgraded my iMac to Monterey and have lost the use of LR and PS. These were both upgrades kept current from a purchased set of licenses through Adobe years ago. I am an old school photographer used to using local folders to organize my images but also used LR to catalog them. I still have the backup LR catalog as well as what used to be the working version of the catalog. My question is around Adobe plans and the limitations of them as I am not sure that I understand the apps use of the cloud in my workflow. My preference would be to only spend the $9.99/mo as I am no longer a professional and can't justify a larger expense simply to quickly adjust and catalog images. If I am only accessing local image files in a local folder structure (220GB) but am not looking to sync across devices or have Adobe backup up my files am I ok with the 20GB storage plan? Will I have the use of LR and PS on my desktop(s) in a somewhat similar way to what I was used to with LR and PS before? If that is the case what would I gain in going to the 1GB plan other than storage on Adobe servers? Used to be an expert on the cutting edge with these tools, but that was 20 years ago now, and I can't believe that I can even say that!
2024.05.22 02:52 johndoe_duckdns[Help] Tuta Desktop (flatpak) client does not connect without VPN
Hi all, looking for input on resolution of an issue i recently started having. I am using the tuta desktop client apps on the same PC under Windows, linux and mac. for the last couple of weeks I have been having this issue under Linux using the flatpak install of the client where it stays offline and is unable to connect until I switch on the VPN. It works fine on the same connection (and PC) on my other OSs. Linux version: Fedora Ultramarine 39
I am going to put this at the start so no one wastes their time; don't expect a reply every day, it will probably average more like once a week. Now, sometimes, on my days off or on high mental health days, it can be a couple of times a day, but that isn't something I can promise on a regular basis. If that isn't going to work for you, that's fine. Just you have been warned upfront. I won't ghost you, though. If it ever comes up that it will be less than once a week, I will communicate that. That shouldn't be the case, but emergencies come up from time to time, or things at work get extra hectic (when inventory comes up or holidays in particular) sometimes. I am open to suggestions. -+- About Me; ●Female (and that is what I mostly play). ●In my early 30's. ●Role-playing for almost 20 years. ●I like to use face claims, and sometimes I'll make visuals for outfits and stuff, too. ●I like to write profiles for my characters, just a habit left over from the InvisionFree/ProBoards days. ●I usually match the length of my partner, but sometimes I'll go longer or shorter. ●I like tropes, especially the Gloomy/Sunshine pairing and the Good Guy/Bad Guy pairing. ●Full Time Manager at a Department Store. ●Central Daylight Time/GMT-5. ●Discord is Elinoire Wanna know anything else? Feel free to ask. Requirements; ●Play M if you plan on doing romance. Any gender is fine for anything else. Doesn't matter your real life gender. ●Be over 18, the closer to 30 the better. ●Use past tense and third person. ●Have patience and be understanding. ●Be willing to give a small profile of your character if you don't use face claims. ●I am not a perfectionist, but please at least spell things correctly. -+- While I have a lot of fandoms I want to try, I'd prefer OC's over canon characters for the majority, so assume that's the rule unless stated otherwise since I do have a few ideas with Fandom Canon/Canon and Canon/OC. Unless a particular pairing is stated, these don't necessarily have to be just romance or whatever. We can do any genre. I do really like romance and will probably default that as my main idea, but if you aren't up for that, just say so before we start plotting. Fandoms I Want Right Now; Strike Out means I've already filled it. Star Wars; particularly the SWTOKOTOR timeline. Fallout; I have OCs for FO3 and FONV, but I'd be willing to try any timeline. I've played FO1, FO2, FO3, FONV, FO4, and FO76. I've also finished the show. I have my own ideas for a Fallout Florida as well, including a Universal Studiosknock-offf known as Hubris Studios that is used as a giant Raider base run by a toy/comic themed group. Cyberpunk 2077; I haven't played the tabletop version of it, but I've played the video game and watched the Anime. Harry Potter; I don't mind doing the Books era, but I like the idea of doing something from the Victorian era or something from 1920-1960. Modern would also be okay. Can be school based or just world based, so we could play students or play Aurors or anything from the world. Lemme know you consider Canon for modern timelines, though! -+- Heavily Inspired (or Fandom) Pairings; (I’d play the BOLD character) ☑ means keeping the original actors as the Faces ☒ means NOT keeping the original actors as the Faces ☐ means keeping the canon characters as the original actors' faces but not the OC ●Colin/Penelope (Brigerton) INSPIRED; [☑] Vampire “Colin”/Human “Pen”, a lot would stay the same, but a lot would change, too. ●Rick/Evie (The Mummy) INSPIRED; [☒] Original characters/versions of the Originals, but same storyline (maybe with tweaks or updates, we can discuss it). ●Malak/Female Revan (KOTOR) FANDOM; [☒] Particularly before the game takes place, maybe back when they were still in the Academy or early on during the first war. ●Kandomere/Female OC (Bright) FANDOM; [☐] I loved this character, and I think it would be fun to play out some stuff between him and a sunshiny Human character. Plus, I love the world of Bright. ●Daryl Dixon/Female OC (Walking Dead) FANDOM; [☐] Basically, this would be my own version of Beth Greene aka Lillibeth “Lilli” Greene. It would stay probably 100% Canon plot wise outside of a certain obvious death and would start during the time Daryl and Beth were out alone and go from there. -+- Other; Pairings; ●Grumpy Slytherin/Sunshine Chubby Hufflepuff ●Racist Elf/Human ●Vampire/Human (I can play either) ●Light Side Jedi/Grey Jedi (I can play either) ●Sith/Light Side Jedi ●RaideVault Dweller ●Intelligent Supermutant/Human Wastelander ●Disfigured Large Knight/Sweet Petite Royal (inspired by Hound/Sansa, but I don't like how young Sansa is). ●Negan(TV Show Ver)AU-Reverend(OR)Sheriff/Female OC-Prostitute WESTERN AU ●HadesAU-Crime Boss/PersephoneAU CYBERPUNK AU ●HephaestusAU-BikeChlorisAU-Florist MODERN AU ●Frankenstein's MonsterAU/Human Outcast ANY AU AU Options (<- similar time before or after ->); ●Cyberpunk ●High Fantasy ●Sci-Fi ●Modern ●Western ●<- Medieval -> ●<- Regency -> ●<- Victorian -> ●1920s-1930s ●1940s-1950s ●1960s-1970s ●1980s-1990s ●Gothic (Southern, Appalachian, Midwestern, South Western, etc) If nothing here interests you, but you think we'd do well together on another idea, feel free to lemme know what you have in mind.

did maxton hall remind anyone of pride and prejudice (the 2005 version) there was a few scenes where it did for me, the scene where james took rubys hand in oxford & the classic bad flex from pride and prejudice - the scenes both show inner conflict between themselves because of the difficulties to show affection, because of ranks & superiority. Both James & Ruby, and Darcy & Lizzie, both express their “enemies to lovers” trope, Lizzie says that Mr Darcy is too proud (pride) and James is also full with pride because of his family name. Both couples end up together, by realising they both prejudiced each other. (i don’t remember anymore scenes but it sure reminded me of it:))
2024.05.22 02:36 PunkLivesInMeBarely a month in and VP is already calling me a "question hire"
Edit: Title should read "questionable hire" Admittedly I probably haven't been progressing as quickly as they might have been hoping me to since there's a laundry list of projects they need me to helm and up until now they've been short staffed, but considering this is my first actual sysadmin role I was hoping they'd give me some degree of slack. My manager and I were work shopping ideas on expanding the C drive for one of our servers, and due to how the RAID was configured the solutions we came up with to avoid risking data loss were 1) download and license a third party partition manager or 2) format and move the entire data drive to a new partition, then format the old partition and hope it didn't mess up sharing and security permissions too much. Manager then asked me to take a screenshot of the prices to license the full version of the partition manager and send it to him so he could forward it to our VP. I accidently sent the screenshot directly to our VP in Teams instead of my manager, and he immediately replies with "this sysadmin was a questionable hire". Instantly gutted. There's no doubt in my mind either that he meant to send that to my manager and not me. For a few minutes I did nothing but just stare at what he sent while the memories of every moment I ever felt inadequate at my job or imposter syndrome came rushing back like a tidal wave. My manager noticed something was up with me but he likely assumed I was just eager to wrap up soon and get home. Ultimately we wound up licensing the full version of the partition manager and the server issue was resolved in less than a half hour. But for the last several hours I've been fixated on his message, and frankly I'm at a loss. I don't even wanna go in tomorrow because I can't stomach the idea of sharing office space with someone who's not afraid to admit he thinks I suck at my job and regrets taking a chance in hiring me. I wish I could go back in time a month and chosen to stay with my old job. Should have taken up goat farming instead.
2024.05.22 02:31 benjamin-crowellcounterintuitive science about physical activity and energy expenditure
Based on some recent discussion in another thread, it seems like a lot of people haven't heard about the current scientific evidence regarding physical activity and energy expenditure. The results are highly counterintuitive, and also contrary to common cultural assumptions, so I think a lot of people react with disbelief. The best-known scientist working on this is Herman Pontzer. popular-level article: https://www.science.org/content/article/scientist-busts-myths-about-how-humans-burn-calories-and-why review article by Pontzer, 2018, Energy Constraint as a Novel Mechanism Linking Exercise and Health, https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physiol.00027.2018?cookieSet=1 interview with Pontzer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04cP4jcDfB8 Although I normally prefer to get my information from written words rather than videos, the interview was actually really nice because it explored the science from the point of view of endurance athletes. If you don't want to listen to the whole thing, which is over an hour long, here are a few spots where they talked about running: 10:20 -- ultramarathoners; there has to be a limit to compensation 12:20 -- race across the USA, foot version of RAM 13:51 ... by the end of the race, their energy expenditure was 600 cal/day less than expected based on energy expenditure; so yes, there are limits to compensation, but this is a pretty high ceiling 17:57 -- compensation is delayed; weight-loss studies always just follow people for a short time; race across USA showed no compensation for first week 43:05 -- run 10 miles a day, 7 days a week; can your body compensate?; suppose max compensation is 600 kcal/day, running is 1000 kcal/day; then to maintain body weight, you'd have to eat an extra 400 kcal/day

Lets begin. TweetMusic VideoOriginal Thread This is one of my favorite tweets not only for the hidden message within but also the vibe is good. Some helpful apes in the original tweet discussion shared the link to the full video so credit to them. Forgive me if I repeat anything from that thread. credit goes to where it is due. There was some speculation in the original thread that the colors had changed from the version in the tweet but I dont believe this to be the case. The colors stay the same and the scene is largely unchanged except our favorite company being prominently featured, https://preview.redd.it/5y71t48hhv1d1.png?width=1156&format=png&auto=webp&s=30f99fe97081a4bed34331f90d572f9138bfae44 however it is paused when the colors have a purplish pattern. from the original video, no edits, but very convenient to our purpose As you see in the full video once the character who could be us opens the box they are transported to a different wold fighting enemies. The character manages to escape into a matrix like environment. alot of green. a ton of green. we up there's a windows BSOD and everything crashes in the video. the character the goes through a series of stages depicted in red but the video ultimately ends with the character more or less trapped in greenness. In the original tweet it pauses at that 4:20 point. For several days I thought nothing of this but in hindsight its painfully obvious. Pause the YouTube video at 4:20 and see for yourself, it's the last couple of frames and the character is in a world of green before disappearing completely, and the lights turn off slowly imo for the shorts. I'll have what he's having
2024.05.22 02:29 dunvilleWhat are my options for getting a perpetual EDU licence?
I currently have a 1-Year Subscription Education for Pro Tools Studio. My Academic Eligibility verification will run out on June 5th next month. Can I buy a perpetual education licence before it runs out? It's not 100% clear to me where I do that. I do also have an older perpetual Pro Tools EDU licence from when I was previously studying in 2016/2017. It wouldn't work when I upgraded my computer to an M1 Macbook, but maybe having that older licence also qualifies me for a loyalty discount? Or could I somehow upgrade that old perpetual licence to the current version (but at Education pricing until my verification runs out) to use on my M1 Macbook? Would that second option be to buy this? https://www.thomann.de/gb/avid\_pro\_tools\_studio\_upd\_renewal.htm? Or is this what I'm looking for? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PTStudioUpST--avid-pro-tools-studio-perpetual-license-upgrade-for-teachers-and-students-continues-updates-and-support-for-1-year Would that allow me to upgrade my old licence and use it on my new computer for more than a year? As I could verify my education status until June 5th. Curious about what the best approach is here! The full-priced subscription is currently too high for me, as I only use PT for audio work which has sadly decreased significantly in recent months. The education price was manageable on my lower income but I can't justify paying 30 euro a month when I only use it for audio editing work that is pretty scarce at the moment anyway. Currently on PT Version 2023.3.0 My old version was from 2016 (unsure exactly the version number)
2024.05.22 02:24 _andrew_burger_Tier Zero C.O.D.E - Endpoint Compliance Tool
TL;DR: I've built a Django-based Web Application that has been Dockerized to aid in the Correlation of Distributed Endpoints (CODE) among multiple cloud services. Features focused on compliance. Github: https://github.com/andrewixl/tierzerocode Docker: https://hub.docker.com/andrewixl/tierzerocode Background: I have struggled with keeping all of my endpoints up to date with my list of tier-zero compliance requirements when spinning up new servers and ensuring they are not falling out of compliance over time. My goal was to API connect multiple services to ensure endpoints are being registered on all the required services and almost get a full CMDB-like feel. I have worked in the cybersecurity and IT industry for a few years and have seen many solutions that are over-engineered and very heavy when it comes to running them. My goal was to create a lightweight, and ideally privacy-focused solution that stores as little data as possible while giving huge insights. Current Features:
Integrations with CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Intune, Sophos Central, and Qualys. (With many many more to come)
Quick view dashboard to break down OS, Device Type, and Compliance based on connected services. (With custom compliance per device).
Per Device Compliance Per Service Breakdowns (Specific Device Detail Page Still Under Development)
Development Status: The app is still in development but I have released one version that has many of the features fully functional. Some documentation updates are still required. Why I am Posting on Reddit: I would love some feedback! Any ideas or issues that can be logged can help drive some of the work outside of just creating more integrations! Let me know the metrics you want, and additional features (I am testing out a Microsoft MFA Dashboard and Reporting Currently)
2024.05.22 02:18 viewsonicxeonGot my luba2 delivered today
Setup was fairly easy if you follow these steps. 1. Assemble luba2 and charge it for an hour 2. Add it to app and update luba with latest firmware. I had to update twice. It didn’t jump to latest version in first try 3. Install rtk in open area and make sure everything is fine in the app (satellite count and all) 4. start mapping your yard 5. Charge it again to full and start adding schedules for mowing or add one time task for mowing. 6. I did my front and back yard in 4 hrs. Yes it takes time so be patient. I like it hope it will stay like this.
2024.05.22 02:05 mcm8279[Interview] ‘Discovery’ Writer Eric J. Robbins on referencing other Trek shows: "Internally, we share a lot of material. On Discovery, we would assign certain writers to cover a show and then you get put into their script distribution. So, if we’re in contradiction with another show, we catch it"
TREKMOVIE: "[...] This episode [Discovery 5x8] evokes some Trek classics, especially “The Inner Light.” How much of bringing up older episodes is part of the discussion in the room? I feel like it is part of every episode that I worked on Discovery. It was always important for me to find reference episodes. There was a common joke during season four when we were working remotely and after we get back on Zoom after lunch I would be like, “I just watched this episode of Voyager!” So, yes, “Inner Light,” which I hesitate to say because, to me, it is arguably the best written episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. That and “Family” in terms of emotional exploration of Jean-Luc Picard. “Tapestry” was also on my mind, having an opportunity to reflect on your life and the choices you’ve made. “Balance of Terror” as well, hiding and trying to suss out what your enemy was doing. There are also little inspirations in my episodes from the movies, so in this one trying to gauge shield frequencies and harmonic reference, that is me as a child watching Star Trek Generations in theaters and being like, “Just change the shield frequency!” as the Bird of Prey starts attacking the Enterprise. [laughs] There was an even bigger movie reference with Hy’Rell… Oh yeah, Star Trek VI, I love that movie. During the WGA strike last summer I had the opportunity to meet Nicholas Mayer. And I went up to him to talk about how much I loved The Undiscovered Country. And he was like, “Most people come at me with Wrath of Khan.” So yeah, I always loved the Efrosian, I thought he was such a cool design. I always forget there was another Efrosian in Star Trek IV, the helmsmen on the Saratoga. And when we were doing this episode I was like, what species do we want to see, but one that won’t be a production nightmare? I would love to do a Catian, but in live-action it could be expensive. So I went back to Efrosian and I thought we have only ever seen two of them, which is insane because one of them is the President. [laughs] So it was an opportunity to give one an actual name and also see one who has had a female presentation because the other two are very masculine presenting. So I sent the reference and the design team liked it and they thought they could do an updated version of the makeup. I am sure some fans are going to come at me over the vision. In a deleted scene in Star Trek VI the President has a little eyepiece he uses and in Star Trek IV the Saratoga helmsman also has white contact lenses. So the deleted scene shows the President is blind and that may be a species characteristic. So do we lean into if they are blind or not? And I was like, it’s 800 years later than Geordi, who got his optical contacts, so maybe it has been addressed. I was just really excited to back to a species that has so little defined and add a new character to the mix, but being really cognizant of not defining them too much so writers and storytellers in the future have a real opportunity to dig into the Efrosians and say more about their culture. A surprising reference comes from something much more recent when Reno made the joke about Hysperia, from Lower Decks. So are you guys on the lookout for ways you can connect to the new shows? Sure. internally, we share a lot of material. On Discovery, we would assign certain writers to cover a show and then you get put into their script distribution. So, if we’re in contradiction with another show, we catch it. We are not just looking out for making sure we are not stepping on each other’s toes but also, for me, it’s really important to show a little love to the other series. I think that’s one thing that Star Trek has always done very well. I think it’s one thing the fans have always responded to. Now for the Hysperians, first, the original pass didn’t include Reno because we didn’t know we were going to have Tig [Notaro] and I was told very late Reno was going to be in my episode. So, we were talking about ideas and somebody wrote a rough version of a joke, “Oh I was repairing buoys out by Talaxia, and Talaxians really know how to party.” I was always very cognizant about not being the “canon cop,” but that’s where I was like, “Wait a minute, Talaxia is way deep in the Delta Quadrant, when did Jett Reno have an opportunity to do that?” We never saw Disco jump to the Delta Quadrant so maybe we should change that planet and that episode of Lower Decks just aired and I was like, “What about the Hysperians?” That episode is hysterical and if you put Jett Reno on a fantasy planet she would get up to some intense shenanigans. I just loved that mental image.

2024.05.22 02:01 TPX_PLCan't decide between Snow White and Black & White Y70 Touch
So they got some of these cases in my local store and I want to buy one. My dilemma is the color - Snow White or Black & White. I wanted to go full white, but that black accent is more universal. I picked the other parts, all in white, aside from the black GPU (it has RGB fans tho), which I will get from my old PC. That would be the only black part in the case (and PSU, but this one isn't visible I guess). Would it alright to put that GPU in a Snow White Y70 Touch, or should I go for Black & White? I will probably be replacing that GPU anyways, somewhere within a year when RTX 50 Series gets released (but I would need to look for a white version of a new card and that might be hard). What do you think? Which color should I go for?
2024.05.22 01:55 Rude_Preparation89Slam Dunk is still worth it?
Well, i am a full grown up adult, and searching for the next anime to watch. I have a few in my list, Slam Dunk always caught my eye. Because, well i loved the 90s period and i like sports. I finished a couple of years ago Kuroko no Basket, i liked very much. And my favorite sports anime, from soundtrack and plot, its Captain Tsubasa J version (sucked it didnt have a ending). How does Slam Dunk compare to those 2 and is worth watching?
2024.05.22 01:54 Specialist-Look-13652009 Mac Pro 4,1 - No boot (update)
A few days ago I wrote here about a problem with my Mac pro--I have some updates. Hi everyone, I have a problem with a 4.1 Mac Pro and I can't get out of it. Sorry if I wrote a papyrus, but I'm describing everything in full so you can understand. The computer is this: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eight-core-2.26-early-2009-nehalem-specs.html#macspecs1 I'm an avid geek (computer scientist by study, but by no means a professional) and decided to take home a Mac Pro to fix up so I could get it up and running to the maximum configuration possible. I found one near where I live. The person who owns it says he has three, but this one despite turning on regularly does not show anything on the screen. The first thing I came up with is the failed GT120, easy to replace and available for a few tens of euros. I have a few tests done with video (not live) before buying it, everything seems to be regular via DIAG led, just can't see anything. We meet halfway and I take it home. Nothing is known about this Mac, it should be exactly as it came out of the factory. The only thing is a PCI card with eSATA ports installed and expanded RAM. I open it, and I put my hands in my hair. I have never seen a computer in such a hygienic condition. Despite the fact that in the photos and videos it was at home under a desk, it looked as if it had been in a shed full of dust (on the outside everything was fine). Layers upon layers of dust on everything. Before starting it I decide to take it completely apart and clean every nook and cranny. I spend an afternoon doing everything and now the computer is perfect. Inside the heatsinks I practically found carpets of dust. In reassembling it I decide, while I'm at it, to change the CR2032 buffer battery on the logic board. I purchased it with its original 1TB HDD. I don't know what is on it and I have no powered SATA-USB adapters to see its contents. I decide to install macOS 10.11 on a blank SSD via another Intel Mac (version supported by both 4.1 and 5.1. Not sure if it was flashed) and mount it inside one of the SATA trays. I turn it on and as described the computer does nothing. You can't hear the sound, the fans are spinning, the GT120 fan is spinning like crazy and on the monitor you can't see anything. Basically the monitor gets a black signal, but after a few seconds it disappears showing the message "No signal." Right away I suspect that the GT120 was indeed the problem, so I decide to put the computer on the network (isolated, just it and the Mac with Remote Desktop on the network) and try to access it. The Ethernet port flashes yellow, I sigh in relief because they are passing data, but I don't see any Macs on the network from Remote Desktop. I open the router configuration and it reports no wired devices (despite the port flashing yellow). I say okay, maybe it's not booting MacOS, but at least the card with its MAC address should detect it--nothing. Doing these tests I restart the computer several times while holding down the power button. After a few times a new problem pops up: the Mac shuts itself down a few seconds after turning on. I click the button, the LED lights up normally, the fans start spinning, and after a few seconds the CPU-related LEDs on the processor board flash and the computer shuts down. At this point I start to think it's the dry thermal pastes, since the computer from "cold" was running, while now after a while it has this problem. When I cleaned everything I did not disassemble the heatsinks from the processors (I had no thermal paste). I order thermal paste and let it sit for a day. While waiting, I decide to do one more test. I take the GT120 (hypothetically failed) and mount it on a PC to see what happens. Surprise: it works correctly. I start to worry because the problem is starting to look more costly than it seemed. Thermal paste arrived, I disassemble the processor board, further clean all the dust meticulously but the thermal paste does not seem exaggeratedly dry. I replace it and reassemble everything. Already at "cold" boot the Mac starts to shut down, but this time with both processors and the northbridge with the thermal paste just put on. Service manual in hand, and I start testing it com the minimal configuration. I get to the step where the processors card is to be inserted with only slot A populated, and with one of the processors it shuts down, while with the other it does not (still remaining with the black screen). At this point I start testing the Mac with only one processor, but I can't come up with it:
SMC reset: I left the Mac unplugged many times for many hours
PRAM reset: the Mac does not respond to commands. Despite the combination, the Mac does not reboot and never makes the boot sound
TMC reset: I replaced the CR2032 battery.
Caps lock led does not come on
Tried both with original HDD, SSD, and without disks (should show me the folder with the question mark) but nothing
DIAG leds show everything regular (photo follows)
No abnormal leds lit on processor board (flashes fast at startup as it should be)
RAM replaced, booted with bare minimum (1 bank of 2GB on channel 1)
Video card moved from PCIe1 to PCIe2
I don't know what to do anymore, I'm searching the forums everywhere and just found some people with the same problem. Basically the rivets on the northbridge despite looking ok, would be loose and the sensor immediately goes into error. I disassemble my board, unscrew the northbridge and I can actually move it horizontally despite the fact that it is fixed with rivets. I am hoping that this is the problem and ordered them compatible on Amazon. Has anyone ever had something similar happen to them? In the meantime, I'll solve this problem with one CPU in socket A, then I'll think about the malfunctioning processor. Thanks in advance! https://preview.redd.it/ae347mwzav1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96bac6977882550e923e8f3bbe88712fe37cd321
2024.05.22 01:52 PleasantCandidate785Windows Server 2022 VM Crashing
I have a Windows Server 2022 VM Running under Alma Linux 9.3 that is crashing roughly every 7 to 8 days with the following message in the /valog/libvert/qemu/Server.log file: failed to set up stack guard page: Cannot allocate memory 2024-05-10 21:59:33.034+0000: shutting down, reason=crashed I think this is linked to my using "virtio" as the drive type for my drive images. At this point, the server is in production and I can't change to virtio-scsi. I initially set up the virtio drives due to the performance gain when mounting the qcow2 images from an all NVME ZFS file system. And the system absolutely FLIES. 15,000+MBps sequential read performance under CrystalDiskMark. I have to stop this crashing though. Here is my Server.xml file: WARNING: THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED FILE. CHANGES TO IT ARE LIKELY TO BE OVERWRITTEN AND LOST. Changes to this xml configuration should be made using: virsh edit NewSoftPro or other application using the libvirt API.

I believe this may be similar to the problem described here: https://www.reddit.com/VFIO/comments/v4ia19/windows_despises_virtio/ Any ideas?
