Printable math games for middle school

Hey there, as mentioned I've recently split from my long term partner and am in the middle of moving to a new apartment, I've been feeling a bit lost and lonely and would love to have someone to hang out with, chat watch movies play some games every now and then, short or long term works for me, I'm also open to anything more happening with the right person, preferably EU only due to time-zone differences but I'm happy to talk to anyone at all really, drop me a message and I'm happy to tell you more about myself, maybe give me a little introduction if you'd like, thanks!

Hi guys.
Tl;dr: Kids throw stuff at my balcony, i want to set up a (day only) camera on minimal budget.
Some kids began trowing stuff at my loggia (hoping this is an actual english word). It's nothing serious, happened 5 times at most now, stuff like empty can, paper from chocolate and stuff.
Nothing that bothered me that much, since it happens ~2 times a week so far and i expect they will get bored soon. But... But today it was large leaf with dog feces on it (dry thankfully). Which got my attention.
So i would like to buy a camera, in case it doesn't stop or if they continue to up their game.
Since it is just bunch of school kids, i don't need it to run at night, just throughout the day when I work.
So could you suggest some cameras that will get the work done? I don't know anything about surveilance type cameras or if i even need specialized one.
All i really need is to start the camera at the morning and when i come back home and there is stuff on my loggia, check the footage. Or delete it, if nothing happened. I have an outlet near, so it doesn't even need to be battery powered. Would prefer on storage device, but if it could be necessary, i could connect it to a laptop about 8ish meters away.
And if this is not the right subreddit for the job, could you redirect me elsewhere please?
Thanks in advance.

I realize there are lot more things to try out then just play only sorceress every season, but that is what I do, until I am done. I always think to myself that if I like it, then I will try out other classes more than just what I had experienced during the beta, but I never get to that point.
In short,
positives :

• I have noticed much better performance which is the biggest plus for me
• Codex - great rework, although I am still not a fan of the system itself, because legendary items are really not legendary as they do not represent anything unique or special about them
• Masterworking - much better version of previous 5/5 blacksmith upgrades
• Helltides - better collection radius of cinders, mob density, more random spawns, threat level system
• Town adjustements - movement, vendor placement (I never minded this, but obvioulsy now it saves time)
• Tormented bosses - didn't get to them, but I like the idea of something player can work towards
• Tempering - I like this addition very much, but it brings problems with it. Most interesting are "secondary" effects such as chance to freeze, immobilize etc. which can diverse your build and allow it to function in a different way
• Monster highlights - undermines a little the art direction the game took, but it helps
• Visual clarity - not getting my screen covered with Necromancer's mud anymore is a great change
• NMD - affix changes

negatives : (not necessarily related to season)

• Tempering -
  • presented to us as a feature where we make choice to further customize our build and make it specialized in some way. That is the impression I got from campfire chat, but not from what I have seen in the game. In the game I see one option which is the best, second best and that's about it.
  • giving players tools to feel more powerful is understandable, but tempering effects together with masterwork are so strong that it makes most unique items (for sorc at least) unusable.
• Rare and lower quality items - maybe I am just missing something but I didn't find any use for them
• Chat -
  • I want to talk to people, ask questions or just read what people say
  • Finding a group for Duriel is almost impossible. Not finding a group and doing the boss solo makes no sense when I get 1/4 the reward from it. I will rather let those materials sink into the abyss of Eternal Realm than use them inefficiently
• Leveling -
  • it is so fast now that it definitely doesn't feel like a journey or something meaningful. I am getting D3 vibes and considering an upcoming DLC I don't see it changing the other direction. It's only going to speed up even more
  • on the brightside, apart from collecting a few aspects, there is nothing I can get during the leveling so better just get through it quickly
• Seasonal rewards - I have used one item (aspect) from all the rewards so I feel like the intention of giving us tools for specific builds is missing its mark. Even if I got useful item, it would be replaced during the leveling so fast that I don't see the point. And later on at a higher level, you don't need it, because you have everything and uniques are weaker than legendaries.
• Skill tree - is in my eyes the weakest point of Diablo. I could talk about each individual skill point and say what's wrong with it, but I want to keep it simple. One good example are final sorceress talents. They got so specific that there is no choice to be made. And if I play burning then I get 20[x] burning damage +2[x] per unique source of burning. So am I supposed stop for a second to summon hydra which then might hit one of many targets to which it adds 2[x] dmg? Or am I supposed to use firebolt as an enchantment slot? Or does it benefit just from multiple firewalls. I don't understand
• Paragon board & glyphs -
  • Now that tempering effects are so strong, glyphs along with paragon points / nodes got that much weaker. It almost doesn't matter what you pick there as long as you use 6 glyphs with active bonus effects. Interesting is that with rare glyphs being much weaker, magic glyph Slayer (damage to elites) can be used now
• Open world & Level Scaling - This might be one of those moments where you would say "you think you do, but you don't". But I would rather have places with locked difficulty.

Bugs -

• Force move doesn't work while channeling incinerate. I have to let go of both keys to press force move key again for it to work. Imo Force move should override everything and if there are any settings for it in game options, it should be set by default
• Flame shield enchantement should activate only upon recieving fatal damage but I think it activates everytime I lose 100% life in total. I am basing this on my feeling and observation. I did not care enough to test it

Final thoughts -

• Itemization - fundamentals are the same as they were
• When I play this game and there is a problem I want to overcome it by looking for a solution, but there usually is very little room for it. It feels like all is given with not much choice to be had. I don't use guides because I never needed to. I am not a youtube guide gamer. I am the gamer. My math skills are good and I want to use my brain and think about what is or isn't possible. To have something to think about when I am not playing. That is when I have fun.
• The paragraph above (planning and figuring stuff out) along with a good execution creates a challenge for me. Not infinite Pit /GR levels. That is grind
• I realize that what I want varies from what majority wants, but that is ok.

Still, S4 is overall a very good change. Best so far

Hello, english is not my first language so sorry for the mistakes.
I 24F have been with my bf 23M since high school for 5 and half years. I have broken up with him last fall because of his behaviour since he would give me silent treatment and other s**t when he would get mad. He came to me in the middle of the night, talked, apologized, etc., I gave him another chance. Since then he haven’t done the silent treatment thing and I would say tried to change his behaviours where it caused troubles but I realised that first of all I changed:
I guess deep down for me that was conclusion. I cried only while i was writing that I’m done but did not cry when I realised I just broke up. I knew I had to move on since at that time I did not think he would even care to see me. It was like nothing. But then again he came to me within hours, we talked etc I gave him another chance because I still loved him.
As for now - Idk where I’m standing. We moved in already into my apartment which I bought in Fall. He moved into my apartment in winter. Until he moved in everything was good, he tried, he did a lot for me, he showed me love. Now - not much. He is saying that he is studying for his final exam and he is busy but acts like I’m at fault because he is still studying and I’m already working and can do my own things. He doesn’t help much around the apartment, he vacuums, washes dishes from which he ate (even at that not every time) and basically that’s it.
At this point I realized that I only have memories that are good with him and not present. Its like I live by memories. 3 first years were amazing with him, ofc we had our downs but still it was really good, 4th year everything slowed down which is normal, 5th was really down with break up and big problems.
At this point I get no affection, since March we were intimate maybe 4 times he does not say he loves me, and sadly I feel like I get more attention from other people than him. I dont think he even cares about what I do. Does not ask me how am I, hows work, etc. Recently started YT channel and he did not care to even see one of my videos to which I put a lot of work to. I also do other handwork to get money on the side , it’s not much but it’s still money. He only told me : I don’t understand why waste time on such things.
Today was my last straw that made me think if I even love him. I came back home after work with meal from KFC to surprise him during studying and the apartment smelled soooo bad… I asked him what is it and he pretended to not know what I am talking about. My dude could not get his ass out of his bed to fricking take out the trash where YESTERDAY he threw away his already EXPIRED meat. Also I should mention at this time its pretty hot where I live, we sleep with open windows. Imagine the smell of rotten meat in heat… The moment I realized that I just told him “you could not even take 5 minutes to take out trash?” And took it myself. He just put on his earbuds and listened to music while reading. This is where I realized he is super lazy. And this is where I doubt if he respects me at all.
I work all day, he does not, he lives in my apartment where I pay all the bills until he finishes his masters degree and can find a job and help me with everything. I buy everything. I clean everything. I wash everything, etc.. as I said he only vacuums and cooks to himself what he likes since he is a gym rat and only eats what he needs for gym.
And yes I talked to him about how he doesn’t help me, about how he is not affectionate etc. Sometimes he even would get annoyed because I asked of him too much while he is studying. I don’t think I ask too much, if that’s too much, how is playing basketball with friends is not wasting his time then? How waking up at 3 at night to watch NBA is not waste of time then since he complains that he did not rest well? How meeting friends every other day is not a waste of time and I am?
And also what I want to mention, it’s even more sadder to see my best friend being so loving and happy with her boyfriend, I’m really happy for her, she deserves the world. But it’s sad for me seeing what I do not have and do not get.
Last week I had a few days off I watched bridgerton and even for that I felt judged. When he saw me watching it he was like “bruh why are you watching it whats the point”. I said “whats your problem?” And his answer was “nothing”. Imagine saying whats the point in watching Bridgerton but then watching every league of legends game like your life depends on it. I never judged him for it until now.
At this point I feel like I’m just a maid. I am there to just assist his “majesty” and IDK if I even love him anymore. It’s like a feeling that he basically killed my love with his coldness and lazyness. I don’t even have children yet and already feel like a mom to a grown ass man. It feels like he thinks that everything revolves about what he wants.
Just wanted to rant because I feel like I have no one to talk to right now and do not want to put my problems on others.

Hi everyone. So my wife, daughter and I are moving to Saint George in August. My wife is a government employee and we're relocating for a new position. We lived for like two years in Richfield, UT a few years back, so we're used to the culture and enjoyed it, even though we're not Mormon. We're going to be renting.and although we've traveled to Saint George many times, we have no clue where would be an ideal place to look for rent. Our daughter is going to be starting 7th grade, therefore distance to a good middle school would be important. (We're also trying to figure out the schools and which one to choose if anyone has any insight). We don't care for the city feel and traffic, love the outdoors, but I guess the school will take priority in picking the location. Our daughter is in a IB program right now. Thanks for any suggestions and hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!

Looking for an old game I loved playing. The bottom of the screen was a bejeweled game with resources, like blood, that you would tap on to collect (the more in a pack was a greater reward) and the top of the screen was where you summoned undead of 4 or 5 types, kinda of clash royale layout with you having a base, the enemy has a base, and your minions clash in between and then hit the base. The story was you were all university students of a necromancer-ish school, and the principal was murdered, and you were fighting over who did it. If anyone knows, please reply! Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for real friends that won’t ghost or un add me after the first day. Idk how this works really because I get unadded and ghosted all the time trying this sub but ima try again. I play gacha games like Dokkan and db legends sometimes I branch out into other ones I also play persona games and emulator games on my laptop so if u down to hop on some old school games and get ur ass whooped dm me lol. I also make music and write stories, I’m spiritual and study all the time also meditate everyday or atleast most days. I’m a decent cook and I love nature also watch anime and read manga, I’m picking up guitar again soon so that’s another thing and I love watching movies especially action or comedy also cartoons are most definitely fire. I’ll definitely be down to watch some cartoons with anyone and also before you dm know that eventually I’ll need to see how u look like because I don’t like mysterious friendships, no nsfw just friends and maybe if we end up liking each other that much a real relationship lol but I doubt that will happen on here So anyways hmu to be besties also I’m straight so don’t hmu on none of that other stuff lol

So, I (F38) was the only one at my parents home for a couple of weeks while they were on an out of country trip in March so I could house-sit and pet-sit their two cats and two dogs, while also keeping up on my college studies. We were having nasty weather the entire time the folks were gone and it's not uncommon that the weather might affect, or even knock out internet signal. Our neighbor is in her early 50s. I'll call her Jean. Some months ago, she had a roommate move in who is in her late 40s/approaching her 50s. I will call her Lisa.
During this stormy weather, Lisa texted me and asked me if our internet was working and if so, could she connect to it for the night because like me, she is doing college courses online and was in the middle of homework and could not get her laptop to connect back to theirs or get theirs to reset. I figured it was just the storm had knocked theirs out so I said, "Okay.But that password doesn't go to anyone else and please reconnect to yours when you get it back on." She agreed and thanked me. That was the second week of March.
This week and last week, the internet has been especially slow and that has been a seemingly increasing issue. Now, while I don't think it's solely due to anyone else using it, it did make me wonder if Lisa had ever got it switched back over. I had just assumed she did and didn't give it a second thought at the time. I shot her a text and asked her last night if she had switched back over to their internet or if, by chance, was she still using ours. It was late but as she is up late at night a lot and I could see the light still on where her bedroom window is from mine, I had sent it anyway. Almost immediately, I received the read receipt, but no response.
So, I mentioned the whole thing to my folks and told them I was pretty sure she just keeps using our internet. They were understandably irritated about it too so I went ahead and changed the password to our wifi, got all our devices at home logged back in and went to bed. Almost 7 hours later, I get a reply in which Lisa claimed she had just seen the message, that SHE hadn't been using our internet and had just been relying on her mobile Hotspot on her phone to connect her laptop to, but that Jean had been using it for their TV but "I guess you don't want us to have it since you changed the password."
Now, I really like Jean a lot and she has been super kind and helpful when our family has needed it and we try to do the same in return.
Jean has told us Lisa had agreed to a monthly rent amount but hasn't paid since the first month and keeps saying she has a check coming and the she'll pay Jean. Lisa does not contribute to grocery money. She doesn't contribute any rent so she isn't helping with bills and last we knew, the only thing she WAS covering was the internet bill. Lisa's boyfriend 'Greg' stays over for a few days a week and spends all day and night with her. He doesn't contribute to bills either and Jean has been absolutely stressed out over being the only one working. On top of all that, she never gets a break because on her days off from work, Jean's daughter drops her granddaughter off (and often in the afternoons after she gets out of work and her granddaughter gets out of school, too).
I ignored Lisa's message and after the folks got up, I told them about it. They agreed that considering "for the night" had been over 2 months and no one had asked if they could just use out internet for a while, she has no reason to send something so arrogant.
However, a couple of hours later, my mother says she thinks we just need to give Jean the new password because she has done a lot for us and she is dealing with so much stress because of Lisa and that if having our internet helps her out, then we should. I said I understand that but I AM concerned that if they give her the new one, it will wind up being given to Lisa, to Jean's daughter and her friend that hangs out there frequently.
I am POSITIVE that Lisa either told Jean that she was still paying for internet service and just told her what network to connect to or she told Jean that we said they could just use ours if rhey couldn't get their own and I don't know which. Whichever it was, Lisa lied. I HATE being lied to and I HATE being nice or helpful to someone and they take advantage of it. Now, with their concern about adding stress to Jean and being unfair to her, my folks have since changed their mind and think I'm being TAH and are even making excuses for Lisa now, suggesting I started up an issue. They gave the new PW to Jean (which again, I see nothing wrong with) knowing it will likely be given to Lisa again and that just feels like awarding bad behavior.
So reddit, AITAH?

For context (without doxxing myself):
I am a very average law school student GPA-wise. In fact, I fall near the lower end of the "middle."
I don’t come from wealth, nor is anyone in my family connected to attorneys. I was always taught, from high school through undergrad, that it's all about who you know and network with. Thus, I’ve been building relationships with people for a very long time. I always told myself that if I ever got the opportunity to be invited to an interview, I should make the most of it (I think the hardest part about getting a job is just being invited to sit down).
Well, this spring, like all of us 1Ls, I started applying to jobs. I knew my GPA wouldn’t be discouraging, yet it wouldn’t be what grabs an employer's attention. Everything is solid on my resume. Instead of going through my career services office, I decided to cold email firms and reach out to attorneys I met at law school networking events, and even those I networked with prior to law school.
To my surprise, I was invited to a few interviews with some firms, both big and boutique, that I really liked. Ultimately, both of these firms offered me very well-compensated jobs, and I ended up going with the niche firm because I felt really welcomed, and the job they offered wasn’t only for the summer but indefinitely.
When I was called into Career Services, I explained to them the job offers I had received and informed them about the path I was going down.
To my surprise, their happiness for me was met with some skepticism. They even made a comment about how they were shocked I got offered these jobs with my GPA, and started to question if I was connected to any of these firms in a way. “Wow, they are really going to pay that much?”
To be fair, I am shocked myself and I am truly grateful to be in this position. But the office just seemed really annoyed that I kind of undermined the whole idea they push that grades correlate to how well you are compensated for your first job.
I hope this comes off that I am being humble and I’m excited/grateful. But I am kind of salty that career services (along with some of my peers) feel like this was just handed to me, and they are being passive-aggressive. Just had to vent this out…

bought this game when it was its first week using my school money and get to be one of the "testers" since we had that game when its the most broken and a lot of bugs. But now this game is free for some reason. It feels unfair for me tho. Did pubg do anything for people like us that bought the game when it wasn't free?

Check post history since this is not my first time posting about my mom.
Not much has changed between my mom and I since the last time I posted. There was a death in my family last fall and I spoke on the phone with her regarding some planning of the funeral. I saw her at the funeral but I purposefully didn't interact with her outside of a hello and goodbye hug. All that to say there's been no addressing of her outburst around Labor Day last year or the test message I sent afterwards.
I recently got engaged and I'm so insanely happy I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. It's felt so good to be able to share that happiness with so many of my friends and family, but it's weird to not be able to experience this phase of life with my mom by my side . I don't even know why it makes me sad because honestly she's not even the type of person who could be fully happy for me. I just wish she was, but I'm slowly excepting that this is the way things are. I feel like it's instinct to want to call your mom to share your engagement news, but I didn't given how things have been and she found out like the rest of my extended family in a group chat (which everyone but her responded to, although she liked my engagement post on fb). I called my cousins, my sister and my dad to let them know individually since we're close like that. I call them and they call me on a weekly basis just to talk and see how life is going. My mom never calls me, even when we were close. It was always on me to initiate contact.
In other news maintaining a relationship with my nephews independent of my mom has been going well! My oldest nephew's school came to my city for a field trip and he asked if I could chaperon and we got to spend the whole day together! A few weeks back I drove down to go to my middle nephew's birthday party that my sister organized (my mom was weirdly not present even though other family was) and in August I'll be going down for my youngest nephew's birthday. Going through my sister to setup time with the boys has been going great.
Anyway, I'm just rambling at this point. I don't regret holding up my boundaries and keeping my distance from her since she proves time and time again she won't get help to changes her toxic behaviors. I guess it just sucks it has to be this way. Thanks for listening to my rant :)

I was playing a game on chesscom just now. Opponent rating:1443. My rating:1459. Italian Game.
Never in my life I thought this much playing against a player and still I blundered my bishop in a complicated middle game, then pawn....and it was a mess on the board. 10+0 it was, and I was down to 4 mins. I couldn't see any way out of it, or to even try for a draw. coz I felt, this guy clearly knows his stuff.
I was going to resign, but checked this guy's profile and it said, "joined 3 hrs ago"!!!!!!!!!!
I was so dissapointed and agonized.
Why would anyone cheat in chess? like....what's the purpose? Is it showing off to friends? feeling a sense of empowerment? what is it?
so so dissapointing. absolutely disgusting.

So it all started back when I was like 5 when I started learning all the names of like every dinosaur that ever existed. Then I started learning stuff about space, about ancient Egypt, about maths, later about cars. I read about every one of these topics and / or watched videos on YouTube until I knew everything there was to know (for the particular age at least).
But this isn't the interesting part. Those were probably just phases of interest. I was young and there were so many interesting things to read about. Also, this mostly happened over relatively long periods of time.
Over the last year though, those periods of interest in certain topics have drastically become shorter and shorter. I started watching movies. Movies were interesting, so I began watching videos, reading articles, watching every movie of the 250 best rated films on IMDb. This went so long until I had memorized the IMDb rating of hundreds of random movies.
One day though, movies got boring and I started reading. Reading became writing and my grades in school were getting better than ever. My German teacher (I am German) said I was one of the best writers she ever had in her class. I then paired writing with psychology. I read tons of studies about the causes of schizophrenia and wrote an essay about it. After I held multiple presentations in school about it, I randomly stopped writing one day.
I bought myself a VR headset and got into VR gaming. I spent tons of hours playing an indie VR game until I got crazily good. I saw that there was an e-sports tournament for this game and joined a team. I actually received money for playing the game from my team captain. My team didn't win the tournament but I still had the money.
One day I saw a guy taking photos of animals in a forest. I was interested and remembered the money I had received for playing the VR game, so I bought a camera, multiple lenses and hot into photography, mainly wildlife and street photography.
At the same time we had to sing a song for music class in school. My music teacher was stunned by my singing and I got recruited for some choir. I then sang in a choir and was doing photography at the same time. After some time I stopped singing since I felt like playing an instrument was way more interesting. So... I bought a guitar and started to learn playing it. But well... I stopped doing it a few months later.
Then I got into music production, bought a siynthesizer, a DAW and also got really interested in PC-building. So I watched a couple of tutorials on YouTube, read about the best processors, graphics cards, blah blah blah, knew every fucking price of every fucking processor and graphics card on the market and built a PC. With this PC I originally wanted to do the music production and get into 3D modelling but I never really did that.
At the same time I randomly started an online drop shipping business because why not and began investing money in stocks.
Remember: all of that stuff happened over the span of around one year
(If the grammar is weird, I am sorry, English is not my first language)
Why the fuck do I start doing things until I get decent just to then stop doing those things?

I (30F) have always had a rocky relationship with my parents. Being the only child, I had to play therapist and dealt with their helicopter parenting. I was never able to sustain emotional connections and friendships due to me not being able to hang out with friends, etc.
My mother's rule was "friends need to stay at school." I was not allowed to wear certain clothing. I wanted to wear skirts and dresses (when i first wore one, it resulted in a 4 day fight and silent treatment). Never was allowed to go out or just simple dates until I begged and cried to let me go. Never was able to have a relationship until 22, and that was a shitshow in the start as well.
I was, however, in school clubs and could get away with it because it counted towards school credits and would help me get some scholarships.
My dad would let me have some freedom as he pushed me to go on a school trip overseas (chaperoned by school staff) through a HS program. My mom had issues initially but didn't say much as my dad was on my side. My dad sometimes would agree with her just to agree or get influenced as well on certain things because she then would give him a silent treatment as well.
Anyway, I wanted to get a job as I was transitioning from HS to college, and again, it was a huge thing. She convinced my father that it was a bad decision that I worked. And won't focus on school. Mind you was a honor roll student throughout HS. I was able to get my first job again through a loophole at school where I could also get credits for working if my supervisor gave me good evaluations and got paid. I didn't get my driver's license until later on, so she would have to drop and pick me up EVERYWHERE, so i rushed to finally get one. I wanted to move away for college thinking that I would be able to have more freedom, but then they moved with me to save money on room and board. I would sometimes have evening classes, and sometimes, my mother would stand outside if I was even a little late from college (I am 21 at this point) coming back. Couldn't make new friends at school, had to beg my mom let me go out so friendships would always fall out.
I learned quickly that the only way I could get control over my life is my moving out. So I got a full time job (another huge issue) when I was in my last year of college, I started applying like crazy to be in a different cities to get my food in the door for my career. And I was able to get a job and move away.
A thing to note is that I had to do this quickly when my mother was out of the country. Otherwise, as always, it was going to be a huge issue. She had a huge problem with it, of course, once she found out and kept telling my father to stop me (he was not with her when she was out of the country). It was all like "why she always like this? Why can't she sit still at home?"You are letting her get in trouble," etc. My dad was whatever, as he didn't think I would actually get the job, but I did. I still remember they thought the offer letter was fake and tried to verify it. It was legit, and so I moved.
Soon, my bf moved in with me to the new city (another problem initially). But it died down a lot, and she toned down her behavior whenever he would be around. Image is a huge thing for her.
But still would still take jabs under the table (like when i got a small tattoo and colored my hair). I ignored it because if she was direct about it, I didn't want to address it.
The final straw that broke me was last week, I had been in contact with some friends that I made who also moved away for college, etc. This was a friend who kind of understood me as her mother was like that too, but she moved to be next to her father and away from her mom.
So she suggested that we can go to a festival together since she just finished her masters degree. I was elated and said yes. I am currently in my masters program, so I felt I deserved a little break.
Also, through therapy I realized that my relationship with my bf was very codependent and clingy and we have had problems due to that a lot so I wanted to work on myself and do my own things to get better to be more emotionally independent.
I mentioned it to her that I am thinking of going to the festival to another country depending on time off and money.
She kept asking where I didn't tell her where because I sensed it was going somewhere.
She started by saying if I asked my bf if he was okay with me going. Recently, I have noticed she usually says that when I do something, she doesn't agree with it, and when i say he has no problem with it doesn'tseem to digest well with her. I told her first I don't need permission, and second, he is okay with it as he will be with his friends.
Then she got furious and said that no, I can't go and if I did she would never talk to me again. I was confused because this is not someone I met like online like 2 days ago. It was actually one of my best friends in middle and HS school that I had before we both moved away and kept contact through the phone. Also, I am 30 freaking years old.
She then continued that if I had to go, it would have to be with my bf only. I told her that was ridiculous and I was not asking for permission or money. I was just informing her, and then she lectured me about always starting something new, and one day, I would get in trouble, etc. and lose my job and everything.
So I went off on her and asked exactly what the problem was. Why did she always had an issue with everything. She has been emotionally unavailable throughout my childhood, pushed me away when I needed her, and used me as a catharsis whenever issues occurred between her and my father. When i would confront my father, she would quickly switch sides, leaving be baffled. If I used to cry, she would tell me I was faking it with crocodile tears. She has no friends so I still let it go and talked to her because at the end of the day I feel guilty and now I am an adult and still didn't want a strained relationship with her.
TLDR: My mother who has always been controlling, told me, a 30 year old that if I traveled with anyone other than my bf she won't talk to me again as I would get myself in trouble. I feel guilty for giving the silent treatment to her as I have always been the one that reaches out first after these situations. How do I cope with this feeling? I have been thinking that maybe I was in the wrong and should just talk to her, apologize, and tell her I am not going.

(name shown are not their real names)
So three people in my circle of friends fought around 3 or 4 weeks ago, we decided to group ourselves together on a group project where we make our own product and sell it to school. I hesitated at first because I wanted to test myself since our teacher gave us a choice where we can do it individually but decided to go along with it because my closest friend among the group, Mark, was telling me it'd be a good idea. Ok, so it started really well, we were 7 in the group and everyone was participating and very productive until the 2nd week where there were only three of us doing all the work including me, Mark, and our other friend.
One night he called me and told me that we should split up with them because the others were not participating anymore but I told him that it was already too late since it's the 2nd week already and that the money of the other members that they shared were already used and splitting up with them at that point will be too much complicated. Dropped the call and decided to game because I really didn't think too much about it.
After gaming, I noticed that there a lot of messages in our group chat and decided to check and back read all the messages, and that's where I saw Mark fighting with the other two members Pau and Clyde. It started with Mark asking the other members if they could come tomorrow for another product making, Clyde said that he has no money to commute and can't go while Pau said she was sick. Mark snapped at them and told them that they were taking it too easy while we were doing all the work while replying some random gifs to their replies as if he was mocking them. That's where I butted in and told Mark to stop sending gibberish while the other two were trying to explain properly, and told the other two that they can't keep missing out because the products we were making are increasing and it was getting hard with just the three of us. I made sure not to take any sides because I didn't want them to think that I'm biased over someone. Mark stopped reading the messages at that point so I decided to dm him and told him that he needs to talk to them to clear the misunderstanding which he oblige. I told them that I get where Mark is coming from because everytime we finished making batches we end up being extremely exhausted and we also have our unfinished assignments on top of that, and I also said that I also get where the other two is coming from since being sick is out of our hands, as well as not having money to commute.The fight was over, Pau and Clyde decided to go using the motorcycle Clyde borrowed from his uncle. I dm'd Pau and told her it's ok to not go since she was sick but she still insisted.
Back to the present, Mark called me earlier saying that we needed to make another batch tomorrow but he was making me do all the talking in the group chat and jokingly said "why don't you say it to them" and laughed, he then replied that they were not really talking to each other anymore and can't stand their attitude. I admit Pau, she has a very sassy attitude so I get where Mark is coming from.
Anyways what bothers me now is that I just learned that they're not talking to each other but I still kept messaging our group chat mentioning them over some memes I was sending and I mean I didn't know that they were still not ok around each other because everytime we made batches I see them making jokes and laughing around each other so I just thought that they were already ok but no, and now all the times I mentioned them over some memes makes it look like I'm forcing them to laugh together without knowing that they still haven't made up yet.

With the addition of the 30-win nuke contracts, many of us have an occasional shot at dropping a nuke even if a 5 win streak is out of reach. I'm an above average but non-demon player who has done both nukes this season and wanted to share some tips to help others get their first nuke.
General:

1. The lobby is everything. Nuking in a 0.6KD lobby where half the enemies don't shoot back is 100x easier then nuking in a 1.4kd lobby where there are multiple sweat teams hawking you down. I highly recommend getting your squad on early in the morning for easy lobbies, and check for sweats in the pregame lobby / report menu (crim+ ranked or nuke skins/emblems/calling cards). If you see sweaty players, back out and requeue.
   
2. If you don' t have a solid squad, try to find some experienced nukers to help you out. There are a lot of sketchy people out there and those who will ask for $ for carry "services", but there are also some solid discord communities of people who are happy to help just for the fun of it and to get their nuke count up.
   
3. Don't pick up the contract if you get a bad start. If someone in your squad dies off rip, or you don't collect much cash (resurgence), or all of the helicopters are taken (BR), just chalk the run and don't waste the contract.
   
4. Watch at least a few up to date nuke guides on youtube so you have a complete understanding of the steps involved, strategies, and optimizations. I won't cover those here since they are well-covered elsewhere.
   
5. Make sure everyone knows their jobs. Don't wait until you are in the middle of a run to discuss who is holding elements, etc. At the same time, everyone should have an understanding of all roles so they can fill in and stay flexible if someone else dies.
   
6. Accept that most nuke attempts fail. This is hard to swallow, but important for your sanity. Nuke runs involve a ton of randomness, and a run can go out the window for one of many reasons. Don't become too mentally invested in an attempt.
   

Big Map specific:

1. I had more success with faster runs, move quickly to get all of the elements and arm before the zone forces other teams to you. We armed our first successful nuke during 3rd zone.
   
2. You can shoot down the PU helicopter from a far distance, especially if you have a javelin launcher. Everyone should have a javelin loadout that they can optionally pick up. Drop the javelin and buy your second gun once the chopper is down.
   
3. Once you are at bomb site, use any spare time you have to shoot down any redeploy zips you can see. This will slow down teams that are trying to fly to you to disarm.
   
4. Drop a portable buy station near the bomb site. Use it to buy back teammates and spam streaks on the bomb after you arm.
   

Resurgence specific:

1. Only run contracts on Rebirth, and only do them once you have access to the easter egg phone. The phone takes time off the element timers and gives you cash, both of which are a huge help.
2. The element timers are longer for each additional person in your squad. Quads is probably the hardest size to do, and I personally thing duos is the easiest.
3. You must arm the bomb with at least one enemy alive. This is a huge pain because you often end up in a situation at end game where you can't kill the last enemy while you still need to plant the elements and arm the nuke. Once it is armed, you can kill the final enemy and you will automatically get the nuke without waiting for the 2 minute timer. People can grief you by suiciding to end your nuke run.

Contract notes:

1. Contracts / wins may or may not carry over to next season. Previously, they reset for each season, but I confirmed that wins did carry over last season. I have heard conflicting information on contracts carrying over. No one can know for sure unless activision makes a statement.
2. You can stack wins towards a 30 contract while already holding a contract. Your wins do not go to waste, at least not until you have two contracts stacked up (60 wins).
3. If you get a 5 win streak, you can stack a 30 win contract on top of it, but if you already have a contract when you get the 5 win streak, you will not get another contract.
4. You can continue to play games normally while holding a contract, it will not be consumed until you pick it up during a game.
5. Your teammates can see you contract now, but they cannot pick it up.
6. Once you pick up the contract, that is your one shot, there is no way to cancel it or redo it, you will need to earn another contract for another attempt.
7. Special modes do not count towards wins or streaks (loaded resurgence).
8. BR wins/streaks are independent of resurgence wins/streaks.
9. Wins/streaks carry over across squad sizes. For example winning 2 BR solos then 3 BR quads consecutively will give you your 5 win streak contract.

I used to play with my grandmother and Mother when I was young and into teenage years. Grandmother was a low key hustler on the course and while she was an award winning golfer, the old men she schooled only learned that later.
She set me up, as like most kids would be, with minimal clubs. While I had to take some close tees, I could play the course pretty well, for a kid. Fast Forward 25 years, and I'm in a position where I can afford to get back into the game.
I'd like to build a half bag of used clubs and devote this year to getting some mechanics, game theory, and confidence down, and decide what direction to go moving forward.

• Aside from a couple lessons, and a good amount of practice, what can I do to make up for lost time? What's the best way to find a coach/pro?
  
• Is my plan to build an affordable small bag realistic, or will finding a full cheap set really helps? (The nostalgia of carrying just a few clubs in an old leather bag is appealing to me, but realistically I can see needing 7 or 8 clubs, I'd like to not over complicate it)
  
• I'm extremely competitive, what is a realistic score I should be shooting before attempting to get into leagues? Yes I understand handicaps and improving players are assets to teammates.
  
• Any other advice, equipment recs, words of wisdom, jokes at my expense?
  

AITAH? Help please! Me 50 yof and fiancé 47 yof began dating in the fall of 2019. We emotionally connected night one. 2020 was the year of COVID so we couldn’t go out much and spent many days/nights together and every weekend alternating homes due to high school age children in her home and each our own home responsibilities. We live 1 hour 45 min apart but work some days in similar city. Later 2020 she had a stroke and I was there for her and the kids day and night. In the fall of 2020 she proposed. I’m was elated! Very early 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and began the fight of life with treatments ending the end of that December which like an idiot I worked through as I wanted to keep my job. I learned that hard lesson not to ever do that again. We never left each others side and she took tremendous care of me but due to cancer treatment, my low immunity, and COVID still in swing we did spend more time in my home. She somehow maintained both places for us and took care of me. We enjoy the same things and loved spending enormous amounts of time together. Due to past experiences I was not the most open nor was I one to bring up past crap to discuss but she liked and needed that discussion. I began learning to trust and open up more and more with her. We never fought with the exception of a few of her drinking excessively episodes which would become very verbal and an attempt to be physical once but would not never remember any of it. This was obviously a red flag for me and I needed to know that I knew it wouldn’t keep happening so I became not excited about getting married just yet and shut down some. The drinking no doubt became way less but I was uneasy about it still. 2022 I was still dealing with my body, mind, emotions and everything that goes with cancer recovery. I wanted to recover yesterday and just wasn’t there. Also when I had returned to work I was given an extra heavy load which I wasn’t ready for. I was utterly exhausted day and night and found it hard to have a whole lot of conversation about much of anything. I just wanted rest. She would give me articles to read about dealing with cancer, recovery, and such but I didn’t find it relevant to the situation. I went into treatment with a strong fighter mentality and it was finally over! I just needed to feel better. I knew her emotional needs weren’t being met and said things like “please give me more time to heal” which turned into “I can’t heal fast enough for you but I want to badly.” We went on vacation for the first time that summer which we both needed greatly with all we had been through. A communication issue arose and each of us not feeling heard which drinking me decided to walk a long distance back to the hotel while trying not to interact with her. We finished the vacation and had some good times but there was still clearly some raw distance feelings going on. When we returned I left and later when I ask if she wanted all her things and did I returned them. We did continue to talk and were able to resume our relationship. We had talked of moving in together for a long time even before cancer but it was on hold due to one child still being at home and deciding to stay local for college for awhile. We began what we now know to be anxious, her, avoidant, me, vicious cycle. We both knew we were in a bad place but not understanding or knowing how to talk to and with one another which turned out to being me talked about more than with me I felt including strangers on vacation. November 2023 we went to a therapist returning also in December but hadn’t gotten very far with him just yet then with holidays didn’t fit in another session. To late sadly. There were more hurt feelings of her feeling dismissed and me being shut down, we weren’t able to communicate effectively and I didn’t feel safe doing so related to the anxious attachment behavior. She would have a few beers often and the thoughts of would it be to much again were always present for me. She didn’t but it didn’t take away my fear. The anxious attachment reaction to yell and all that goes with it would push me to shut down not feeling safe to talk and the more I shut down the more anxious she became. At the end of the first week of January 2024 I left again. We didn’t speak for 3 weeks until I began reaching out endlessly to reconnect and return to the therapist. We both said the first week apart was like a relief. The second and third week I spent researching any books I could find to understand what was going on and how to repair us which is were I learned about anxious avoidant attachment. I sent the audible book to her and she also went through it. We then reconnected face to face mid March, talking every day, attempting to heal our hurts, and spend time together again. It was so beautiful! I have worked extremely hard to understand my past behavior, take responsibility, ask for forgiveness and talk about how I should have and will now do things differently. We both have. In April she had a set back and withdrew saying her feelings for me weren’t there yet but we would continue talking and date. I am ok with that as it takes time to rebuild trust, heal hurts, and love again and I’m willing to give her all the time she needs. I did learn in April during the midst of our few weeks apart she had a rebound encounter which we talked about and I forgive and will forget because I love her so much and want a life with her. Next thing I know I’m thrown into the friends only zone with the desire to keep talking and texting and eventually spend time together doing things. A couple weeks ago I seen at her son’s graduation she had someone with her (different from the rebound I’m told but both rebounds UAF!) and was being affectionate with. I’m devastated. We have each continued with the therapist separately. I have dug deep within myself to learn and grow and have expressed everything I know to her. She has also made progress learning and growing but says she’s still hurt and can’t get past me leaving and while she acknowledges her anxious behavior and my avoidant cycle, it’s merely that I left. We were not in a healthy, productive place, no ability to effectively communicate before and now we can. I remain to have an unconditional love for her and desire us to be together. She didn’t like when I brought up the word unconditional. How can someone say they now understand, give and accept forgiveness, yet remain apart but desire to remain close friends and spend time together? I admit I’ve not seen or experienced a healthy love life but unconditional to me means just that, e figure it out and grow together. I’ve tried to me angry but I simply can not be that way, it’s not who I am, nor her. Here it is mid May and in a week we fly out of state together for my family’s graduation. She still wants family which I fully don’t understand and request she not plan on being part of family picture that are planned. I’m sure that hurt but shouldn’t we draw a line somewhere? She’s not comfort coming to other family events like baseball games and such saying she isn’t comfortable staying in the other room due to distance of work yet planning to stay in my hotel room next weekend. IF she even goes (me saying this not her). FYI the flight is non refundable. I’m an emotional wreck daily and don’t know how to move past her.

Hello!
I am looking for games which are broken up into encounters that are strung together in a campaign. Important to me is that I can actually do progression on the campaign map which will give me benefits within those isolated encounters.
Examples: XCOM-2 Battlefield Gothic: Armada 2
and to a lesser extent
Battle for Middle Earth 2: Rise of the Witch King, War of the RIng mode Against the Storm

it always crashes after the map changes, but also happens in the middle of games, and sometimes when i take a screenshot. the game is practically unplayable for me. someone told me to remove all launch options, which i did, but that didn't fix anything. what can i do? this is really pissing me off.
