My second playthrough of Stellaris.
Writing a story while playing improves the strongest part of this game: The role playing. I did it mostly for myself, but i guess it never hurts to share.
It's pretty long for a reddit post. (short compared to some other AARs tho).
I played the pre-defined Gorthikan race. Their origin is Overtuned Genetics. Democratic scavengers with mutagenic spas. Fanatic egalitarian materialist.
*SPOILER WARNING*
2200: We overthrew the shackles of mindless ravaging and tyranny with our bravery. We would not succumb to our animal like existence. Gene splicing gave us the answers. Life for everyone got easier. With all this pressure taken away from us, we would finally be able to create a Government. A place for every Gorthikan to be represented. Freedom would be our guide. Self improvement our Sword. To the stars!
2205: Our scientist informed us of our biosphere in danger. We would need to research catastrophic events on other planets. With only one planet, this is of major importance. We found one planet, but its not very habitable. The search goes on.
2208: We found a planet worth colonizing. Our colonist are on the way.
2210: Another alpine world found! A glorious day for all Grothikans. We have decided to improve fertility, but the genetic splicing made our species fragile. Leading positions are hard to fill, with leaders only serving for 10-15 years. This takes a huge toll on our unity as a species. Maybe more splicing has to be made, in order to increase the lifespan. For now, we must fill the stars with the abundance of our citizens.
2215: It turned out our recent splicing was a fatal mistake. With our populations life span toll, governing a galactic civilization would become impossible. Our latest leader served less than a year. We would fall into chaos if would not intervene immediately. Splicing had to be conducted NOW. Our scientist came up with a genius trait, which would automatically adjust citizens to their jobs. We needed to incorporate this in exchange for some reproduction, and gain a lot of lifespan in return. Sadly it took many years to modify our species. Only hope could carry us further from here.
2218: We encountered sentient alien life! They seem to be fungus in nature, but form a usual Space faring civilization. Fascinating.
2220: Early years of space colonization have been really rough for us. Still about 15 more years until the splice fixing would be complete. 2 great habitable worlds are locked in a system with what seems space amoeba. Those creatures are fending us off. With one fleet of corvettes destroyed, we had to realize that, our military technology would have to improve if we wanted to take that system.
2221: War has been declared on us. The first Alien nation we met is now trying to beat us into vassals. With our fleets weakened we have to scramble to not get overrun. Things looking more dire by the minute.
2222: With no fleets by the start of the war we were forced to accept submission. We lost a system and are now dominated by those fungal creatures. Our Agreements with them were dire. No further expansion and 15% tax on goods. We could only hope they would treat us with more respect later.
2228: After a few tough years we were able to negotiate the terms of our servant ship. We would be free to expand, and not taxed. Maybe there would be a chance for our civilization, if just a slim one. The stresses of galactic wars and resource shortages had taken their toll on the population. Unfortunately one of our planets started to rebel.
2232: The rebellion had long been quenched easily. Our genetic alterations finally commenced. New hopes were rising. Unfortunately climate changed completely on one of your planets, and it turned into an ocean world. Not quite habitable for our people, but it would have to suffice. Luckily we research robotics. That would make things a bit easier. It also turns out that our latest genetics program was a success. Our civilization is manageable now, since individuals can grow into significant personalities due to their increased lifespans.
2243: After a calm period of economic growth we decided it would be time to challenge our overlord. Enough oppression. Rally the fleets.
2246: We won! Finally free from their control, we decided to bide our time until we could return the favor. For now, we had gotten control of 2 of their systems as a bonus.
2248: Our improved robotics now allow for specialized robots. Finally, we have effective workers for our ocean planet. After a gradual replacement, we hope to resettle our real citizens to a more suitable planet. Habitable planets are much less common than anticipated. We still only possess 4 worlds, and they are getting crowded. Most of them are quite small. We decided we would try putting a colony on a tropical world. Not very habitable for us cold-loving creatures, but maybe our robots could do most of the work there.
2257: While we were preparing to vassalize our fungal neighbors, another empire to the south declared war on us. They wish to vassalize us. Traumatic memories come ashore. We discovered them about a year ago. They are reptilian. We don't have much more information. To war!
2263: We are close to victory over the cold-blooded snake-eyes. But our fleets are so far away from our old rival, the fungal fiends, that we decided to build a second fleet. We declared war to vassalize them and marched onwards with our secondary fleet.
2266: Our society had a breakthrough! With the combined might of the unity between us, we've gotten our society even more focused on what even united us in the first place. New fields of genetics lay before us. We would ascend.
2267: We have encountered quite a few space faring civilizations by now. A multitude of them proposed to create a galactic council. That sounds promising. Maybe it could get more peaceful around here.
2268: We have beaten the cold-blooded and gotten 6 systems in reparations, but the fungoids are proving hardy. With only a small fleet of ours in the northern conflict, we cannot win the war effectively even though we have the upper hand. We will settle on the status quo for now, still planning to return in a few years. Their atrocities of the first war still reverberate to this day.
2272: The scientific community proposed a technology to alter our species' habitability towards specific planets! In preparation, we would send colony ships to every planet we were able to reach. This news came at the right time. Our planets are bursting with populations.
2277: One more year until our truce with the snake-eyes ends. Shipyards are converting every alloy we have into fleets. 2282: We would have loved to attack the fungal menace in the north, but it's very far from the south, and down there, our truce with the snake-eyes would end. Our cunning plan: draw the snake-eyes into a quick war, with the intention of a quick truce. With the forced peace in the south, we could concentrate our fleets on the north without danger from below.
2283: Our scientists had a massive breakthrough! Genetics would now be possible almost without constraints. Ascension had come. Each and every citizen elevated to perfection for its purpose.
Modification template creation would start immediately. The masses of Gorthikans would be modified to either be shaped for dry, wet, or cold environments. But we would not stop there. Genetics had so much more to offer.
The generalist Gorthikans would live long lives, be happier, less unruly, and very efficient at industrious tasks. In addition, they would adapt to whatever task they picked up. Perfection.
The less common Gorthikans would be next. We only created them from clone vats, since we could control exactly where those would be needed, and they would not reproduce out of control, since there were never many jobs for such citizens anyway. We made them incredibly smart. Tests showed that they would be 50% smarter than their peers. Artists and bureaucrats were designed to live long, happy lives, with an urge for the betterment of other people's lives.
Lastly, in a fortunate coincidence, we managed to find gene samples for a species able to survive the harshest post-apocalyptic landscapes. We perfected those mammals to live on the huge tomb world that happened to be in our borders. They would be obedient and strong, perfect for lowly works.
From now on, robots would be obsolete. Sentient life was more than just superior.
With our new plan set in action, we needed tremendous amounts of biomass.
2292: What was supposed to be a quick stratagem, turned out to be a nail-biting war of attrition against the snake-eyes. We could barely whittle them down. But our prize was phenomenal. 6 star systems and 1 huge relic world. With those achievements behind us, we were looking northwards to our fungal rivals. It was time to settle this once and for all.
2293: Our fleets in position, there was a moment of calamity. In our early days of space fare, we were taught that the strong would get their way. Our magnificent creations, each and every one perfect, were threatened. Threatened by the imperfect. It was time we got our way. Perfection should rule over the galaxy. As we would make every life form flawless. Other empires would not see our plans with mistrust. We were preparing to bring our gift by force. From now on, other empires called us the Galactic Nemesis from then on.
2298: We learned some valuable lessons during this war. Our enemy would absolutely not surrender multiple systems to us and be our vassal. They would rather die. We are not at that point yet. Another offense at a later point will subjugate them. We are patient.
2302: The snake-eyes in the south kept cursing our way. It's only a matter of time until they declared war. We had to end it once and for all. Use the leftover specimens as genetic material. We started by paying raiders. Hiring a few mercenaries wouldn't hurt either. Our fleets were strong. So it begins. To war!
2313: With a last effort, the reptilians were able to muster out one last powerful fleet. We couldn't push further. But they lost 80% of their star systems. About half of them fell into our possession. Construction vessels were on the way to conquer the others. The snake-eyes would no longer pose a threat to us. Gorthikans could rest easier.
2320: The snake-eyes would prove sturdier than we thought. They formed alliances with multiple other empires. We set out to crush them again. This time supporting a rebellion from within them.
2321: Our species is divided. We gave them everything. Freedom. Perfect bodies. Great living standards. But we have always been rebels at heart. Seemingly even the best splicing could not get rid of that. Half of the population wanted to conquer the galaxy. The other half wanted to embrace peace and compassion for the alien nations. Overall unhappiness took hold in our empire. Rebellions sprung up from time to time. Enforcement and distractions were necessary to keep the population in check. Did we go too far? Our hatred was sparked by the attacks on us. Now we were the aggressors. Did we go too far?
2325: The wars on multiple fronts spread us too thin. We won against the snake-eyes, but the fungus managed to get away with a white peace status quo. Again. The fallen empires start threatening us and our citizens shake in fear. Frustration settles in. The once so great vision and unity is no more. Hatred within and without our nation. There is no turning back either. Everybody hates us and wants to see us dead. The economy is decent but cannot support our required fleet. We took every planet we could. Unemployment is still high.
2331: We had shifted our focus inwards. What worth is freedom if you have no choice? We created opportunities for our citizens. Theaters on every planet. An abundance of jobs. After all, if we were determined to bring our way to the universe, it'd better be worth it.
2332: We were finally able to construct hyper relays. The century-old problem of fleet logistics would become far less detrimental.
2334: Dormant empire threatened us for the third time. This time it was enough. Fleet production to the maximum.
2335: With no attack from the fallen ones, we decided to use our fleets to attack the cursed fungal people. Success came fast this time. We relied on our spacecraft until now. But the first breakthrough in this century-long conflict was achieved by our ground forces. Our gene-soldiers would make short work of planetary defenses. Perfection would prevail after all. With 4 planets full of new citizens taken from them, our researchers had lots to do in order to ascend them to perfection. They would be grateful after all. Free of inadequacies, free citizens in our egalitarian nation.
2336: Formation of the galactic council. We couldn't care less. The other empires were neither free nor perfect. We would bring it to them. No matter what they say.
2343: An all-out war with the lizard fiends was at full swing. The hatred between our species surged to new heights. Every Gorthikan could feel it. A mysterious connection. Our scientists said it came from the Shroud. Some raised their voices in question, asking if we had gone mad. Did our genetic splicing take its toll after all? Billions had died in our wake. There was no turning back.
2348: In an unforeseen event, the Panaxalan Horde united under a Khan. Their fleets were absolutely massive. All other wars had to be put to rest for now. We had made great land gains. We could come back later.
2358: Luckily, the horde was concentrating on other empires. We lost a few systems here and there, but the losses were acceptable. We decided it was time to level the playing field and erase some of the tiny empires in the area. With them removed, the big players in the area would not have to tread so carefully in the future.
2361: The horde started turning our way. We managed to destroy their second-biggest fleet and one of their flagships. Their biggest fleet wiped out our fighters shortly after. Mass production from all starports would hopefully suffice.
2364: The Great Khan's fleet was destroyed. The coward escaped through hyperspace. The war is not over. Our fleets shall push as fast as they can through their territory. Sadly, a vile necropolis kingdom declared war on us, and we had to spread our fleets thin.
2365: The Khan already had a second fleet assembled. Seems like he would not give up easily.
2366: We were able to bruise the necropolis kingdom hard enough to make them settle for a status quo. Just in time. Our forces needed to race to meet the Khan's second fleet. No time for repairs. Meanwhile, our eyes turned west. During all our fighting in the north and south, the Ruphaarian Hive was left unchecked for a century. Their unobtrusive looks were deceiving. Insignificant mammals at first glance, but connected via a fascinating connection, they acted as one individual. In either case, their empire was massive. They took the fungal people as vassals recently. Our fighting in the south and east needed to come to a conclusion soon.
2367: The Great Khan is dead! New, infighting empires were founded. With our fleets bordering one of them, we decided to subjugate the closest one. Such uprisings shall never happen again.
2370: The Galactic Community declared us an existential galactic threat. All we wanted was to bring freedom and perfection. Maybe our methods were not diplomatic, but our motives were good. Sacrifices had to be made. Billions so far. With everyone against us now, trillions to come. Probably. Maybe there was another way out. Our scientists proposed a new device: the Aetherophasic Engine. Combined with the immense star-eater ships, we could get closer to tapping into the shroud, the mysterious thing which connected all of us. We had to see it through.
2371: The onslaught from all sides was immense. When war was declared on us, our fleets were completely out of position. To our demise, the Ruhaarian Hive used a wormhole close to our home planet to bring in massive fleets. Our only hope was that our hyperlanes could get us into position fast enough. Due to a fatal error in miscommunication between our scientists and mega-facility team, our starbases were not upgraded to the citadel design, which was needed to produce further Star-Eaters. Who would have thought that the destruction of our species might come down to such an embarrassing error? Our only chance was to defend longer with our normal fleets.
2373: Defense was manageable. The other empires in the galaxy were no match for a conglomerate of perfected species after all. Attacks were still underway, but the surprise attack was defeated, and the brunt of their fleets shattered.
2385: Other empires had no fight left in them anymore. Our Star-Eaters left a wake of destruction. More than that, our neighboring empires glowed up in supernovae. Unusable star systems with nothing left except black holes remained. Our rivalry with the fungoids seemed so childish and innocent. The snake-eyes were about to meet the same fate. The citizens whom we integrated into our empire before the great star feast were all that was left of them.
2395: The galaxy started to change. Not in the visuals in the sky. Most systems were not connected to a hyperlane anyway. But the galactic map of charted systems did even more. Half the Ruphaarian Hives' worlds were devoured by black holes.
2398: Our hold on the shroud grew with every stage of the project. Soon not only our bodies would be perfect, but our minds as well. Perfect in every aspect.
2399: The fabric of space tore apart, the being of the void entered our space. We had no more mercy for them than for the other casualties of this war. The price had to be paid. But after all, a universe in flames was a sight to behold.
2409: The shroud is fighting with all its frenzy not to be invaded. Mad avatars pour into our dimension as it lies in anguish.
2418: The Aetherophasic Engine is brimming with the dark energy of countless stars. We would only have to activate it and ascend. Nothing of what has been could describe what would be. Perfected beings in a flawless new existence. The destruction of the whole galaxy was the price. As an inconceivable number of beings perished, we were taken somewhere, where those things don't have meaning anymore.

Hi fellow Riven mains.
I'm a 2M mastery Riven OTP. I peaked Emerald 2 past split and had around 65% WR until emerald 2 where I kinda got stuck. I left the game 1 month before the split end date and wanted to give it a go on this one to see if I can reach a higher rank.
I must be around 30% WR and demoted from plat 2 (where i got placed) to plat 4. I can't seem to win any match. I'm currently building Eclipse > Ionians > Sundered Sky > DD > Maw/steraks. I'm running the standard runes Conq, the new AH rune, trasc and nimbus and playing with flash ignite.
I tested running cleaver first and second but it didn't work for me, I feel like I deal 0 damage with cleaver.
I know there were a lot of changes in the last patch, but is there something I'm doing wrong? Usually I get the FB and 2 o 3 kills in lane. But there are two things that are very different. I can't seem to pressure my opponents anymore. I can't take plates anymore. Also any slightly bad trade leaves me veeeery behind for the entire game. The other thing that is bothering me a lot is that I seem to get CC to death WAYYYY more harder than ever. I know the old tenacity rune is gone but DAMN. I barely get to press the shield in a TF before dying and the death screen always shows like 5.4 second stun.
Is there anything I should be doing different? Am I getting the wrong runes / items? I'm baffled, I never felt so lost with Riven in the past and some of the best Riven mains are saying that she looks promising and in a good spot this split, so clearly I'm doing something very wrong.
Any help is appreciated.

God I hate grenades dude. The fact that just having a certain item can insta win a fight is annoying. I get it makes sense with how grenades work and stuff, but like..... A naked just running up and dropping an impact at our feet so his friend can get my shit is the worst. Or if you're playing in a building and a nade gets tossed in, the fuck do you do? Run out and hope you both dodge the nade AND outshoot the opponent? Idk dude I keep just losing kit after kit to just grenades. The fact that a single grenade can kill 3 people all with the best armor in the game with 0 real skill or luck is just... It's infuriating. Plus the fact that they can kill you from ages away, through walls, and you can't even see them most of the time so you just have to guess where they went. Even with the nerf, I feel like it would be better if we had any real way to counter them.
I know, I know, skill issue, blah blah. Just mildly annoying to die to this and lose kits that took me actually winning fights with my gun and better aim and positioning than an opponent.

I’m going to try to keep this away from a rant, but I admit I’m pissed that I essentially wasted $1600.
So a year and a half ago I bought a gaming laptop after a post from laptopdeals had people drooling over a price drop in the Lenovo Legion 7i Slim. It was my first major gaming-pc purchase that I thought would last me a long while.
Yesterday, the thing just gave out on me. It croaked in the middle of using it. Screen black, power button still on. After troubleshooting, researching, and following guides to no avail, I was seeing more and more signs that it was a motherboard failure. I’m the farthest thing from an IT or hardware expert, but even I knew that was a very bad thing.
I took it into a private computer repairman who ran some more tests and concurred that it was a motherboard issue. He said that he couldn’t work on it, that it was essentially ‘totaled’, and that this a non-rare occurrence with even very high end gaming laptops. He said that while a year and a half is definitely short and it could have been exacerbated by overuse and bad charging habits, it’s not abnormal.
I wanted more info and talked to a repair shop that does motherboard repairs. Instantly the guy told me that this was the 2nd Legion he’d seen this month with a failed motherboard, and that they get ‘suckers like me all the time’ (this guy was an ass) that don’t understand that gaming laptops are designed as ‘single use’ and ‘highly disposable’, and that they make the mobos so expensive to dissuade you from repairing and encourage you to replace. I wanted to tell him that he smelled like burnt dab-pen cartridge and apathy, but they did offer to recover my SSD for free.
I guess my question is, is there any truth to what these guys are saying? Does the gaming laptop community at large just sort of know and accept that they aren’t meant to last for that long, just for the ability to play OSRS with your right hand while on your morning commute? After looking online I see a lot of similar stories of broken MOBOs and broken dreams, but it just doesn’t make sense to me that people would knowingly drop thousands on a machine that has a fraction of the lifetime and repairability of a desktop.
Thoughts?
edit: also if anyone has any recommendations for what the hell to do, I would appreciate it. I know the laptop is just gone (mobo is $2,000), but I find it hard to believe that I can just get screwed this bad with no possible way out. Is a mobo-less legion 7i even worth anything? I certainly know I’m not buying another Lenovo, and I’ll be building a desktop next.

Party: Me, Fire Sorlock Tav 11/1 w/ prestigious juice build Brother, 8shadow monk/4rogue- he carries the psychic stone thing and summons a psychic blade with a ring concentration spell and does some huge single target DPS in fights
So the last two I’m considering doing a full respec but have been back and forth on what to do!
3) Shart Light Cleric- 1storm sorcerer and the rest light cleric, rocking all RadOrb gear and phalar aluve 4) Karlach 5barb/4rogue/3fighter champion TB throwing build- She got the +2 strength potion and also got +2 strength from Mirror, i missed the good throwing gloves from saving the guy in mushroom field but otherwise she’s pretty cracked, uses Nyrulna and dual wielding feat to have +3 initiative shield.
So we just entered act 3, and after some skirmishes to get to level 11 went straight to House of grief. Got the +2 mirror stats on all characters. I thought I had done everything right to bring all of our friends from Last Light Inn to act 3… did halsin quest, saved isobel in the Marcus fight, etc. so last thing of act 2 before fighting Ketheric was to go to Shar temple, and I wanted to get Shars spear because I was considering using it on Karlach for throwing in act 3… had NO idea killing nightsong would destroy last light inn so that sucked, so no Dammon in act 3. Also i failed to get potent robe. But OTHERWISE, i feel like I either have most important items for cool builds (or have access to them still in act 3)
Of Note- i have all of the Dark Justiciary Gear from killing shar and Viconia, but haven’t really ever seen an S tier build posted somewhere for how to build a character around that kit. Also, sometimes it has been hard to avoid hitting party members with Aoe damage from Nyrulna.
Option A) keep RadOrb Shart and TB Karlach for the rest of game and hope that’s enough. Probably would be?
Option B) some sort of Dark Justiciar build for Shart or Karlach. (Don’t care about an RP elements, either of them can be whatever class would be best, but the permanent bonuses they have gained are +2wis for shart and +4 str for Karlach)
Option C) I’ve stockpiled shit tons of arrows on this playthrough and have considered some sort of switch to a ranged character. I have dead shot and Titan string collecting dust at camp. I have helmet of arcane acuity and BMS not being used, I have diadem that gives arcane something not being used.
Option D) respec Karlach into Eldritch knight thrower? Not sure if she could make better use of items that way, and i don’t know if it would be superior to TB Barb thrower or more of a lateral move… but would dark justiciar gear be good on a 12 eldritch knight?
Or please recommend whatever else you think is good. Not sure if the Light Cleric RadOrb falls off in late game honor mode, and same with current Karlach build. Thanks for any discussion/advice. Note that if you are willing to take the time to offer suggestion, I will probably ask you for very specific details about the build and items, still fairly new, this is my second playthrough and first honor mode one. Hoping to bring it home

Where online or in person could i find (pro or near pro) devs to help me work on a photoreal game project built from the ground up and how much would i expect to pay them a year? Is there any places I could get funding/donations for a game without having to pay anything in return or what options do i have?
Also if I put up design work online of just animations that I would have created in a 3d modeling program, but there is no coding behind it (as in to play), do you think people online may take interest in it and offer their hand without pay or less pay? What if it is just still 2d concept art work or what can I get by with?
Also how many people do you think I'd need on my team in order to have at least a demo (or final work) avaialble until I can get funding from a company (like a major publisher or developer?) that would be willing fund my game yet still keep the vision or most of it I have for the game? Is that even a thing?
Is funding from an outiside source like from a publisher necessary to complete a work? And roughly how long does it take to create a 3d fighting game if there are few people on the team or what are some rough calculations?
I am in San Antonio TX btw

Heya! I'm looking for that someone who's excited to hear from me and I'm excited to hear from, someone I can talk to casually and be good friends with and also tell lots of sweet nothings to and build a forever relationship.
I just recently turned 31 and started a new job last year that I moved for, the job has the option for relocation eventually but I'm probably stuck where I'm currently at for about 4-5 years. My primary hobby is gaming. I play lots of different games but my most frequented games are probably ARPGs, but I'm playing an old MMO right now too. I'm open to playing most any co-op game and I'm always open to suggestions. I love listening to music and I'm almost always listening to something, my music tastes vary quite drastically but my favourite genres are trance, house, I love indie/folk rock, liquid drum and bass, and really most anything. Not the biggest rap fan, but I'll listen to it occasionally depending on the mood I'm in. Some of my favourite artists are Tinlicker, Above & Beyond, Porter Robinson, Young the Giant, The Strokes, Glass Animals, I've recently been listening to a bunch of Post Malone, Of Monsters and Men, Foster the People, Two Door Cinema Club, Phoenix, a youtube channel called MrSuicideSheep that makes tons of mixes and probably a lot of other stuff I can't think of right now. As the summer approaches I'm looking at going out and doing a bit more camping in the area I live in and I'm thinking about investing into a telescope I can take out on the go and look at the different stars, galaxies, and whatever else the night sky has to offer. I have a pretty open mind and am willing to try most things at least once. I love lots of other nerdy things too, my favourite movie series are any of the studio ghibli films, Spirited Away specifically being probably my number one. I've played DnD a number of times and always have fun doing it, I love board games and other tabletop experiences with friends when I can get together with people! I'm open to calls occasionally, online movie dates, just hanging out and enjoying each others company while we either do something together or are just around one another really whatever happens! I'm pretty flexible.
I'm looking forward to hearing from whoever, you don't have to be in the same time zone or anything, although I am in MST! Let me know your favourite pokemon, mine is Jigglypuff. Here's a few pictures of me, you don't have to send a picture right away but I'd love to see who I'm chatting with eventually. https://imgur.com/a/fHDaN58

I'm hoping to start up a game of V20 for some friends in my former home city. (Of course, I've been talking about 'starting a game' for the last decade or so, so we'll see). The problem I'm having is visualization. What do you all do for mapping and such, especially when playing online? Downloading street maps, building fictional cities of your own, or just straight up Google Maps?
Just curious

Do you guys look up builds and copy/paste or do you mess around and find what you like and what works. I played with a friend and he asked me to send him the site that i got my build from and he was shocked that i made it myself. I feel like it takes the fun out of it if your just gonna copy someone else ... finding what works for my playstyle has been one of the best parts of this game. However i do understand that ppl want to play the meta to min/max and dont want to deal with making their own build. But just wanted to know what majority of you guys do. Make your own or copy online?

Where online or in person could i find (pro or near pro) devs to help me work on a photoreal game project built from the ground up and how much would i expect to pay them a year? Is there any places I could get funding/donations for a game without having to pay anything in return or what options do i have?
Also if I put up design work online of just animations that I would have created in a 3d modeling program, but there is no coding behind it (as in to play), do you think people online may take interest in it and offer their hand without pay or less pay? What if it is just still 2d concept art work or what can I get by with?
Also how many people do you think I'd need on my team in order to have at least a demo (or final work) avaialble until I can get funding from a company (like a major publisher or developer?) that would be willing fund my game yet still keep the vision or most of it I have for the game? Is that even a thing?
Is funding from an outiside source like from a publisher necessary to complete a work? And roughly how long does it take to create a 3d fighting game if there are few people on the team or what are some rough calculations?
I am in San Antonio TX btw

I've read people's opinion on it and why it makes sense vs the one's who don't like it. Watched gameplay from different people. played multiple games with this rework trying out different strategys. No matter what is going on it's just awful to play. I genuinely don't see why they did this and most of the people who like it can't even explain why. Most just like it because it's a (new) support because it's a support without caring about the character. Others want it to happen whether because they hate going against Moji or the low pickrate excuse even though kinnesa and strix exist. So like the other actual Moji mains or people who know how she operates and her history. I'm going to explain everything wrong with this rework and why it shouldn't happen.
 

Spit & Sparkle

\ \ I have multiple problems with this change. Let's start with the fact that sparkle now self slows you for 20% when used. It used to be 10% which was one of the main issues that we wanted to be removed but kept it now it's at 20%. So now Moji has a ball and chain on her and anyone with extra speed will outrun Moji's heals and damage. Thought supports was supposed to stay with the team. Not have a hard time keeping up with them. No wonder Moji she tells Po-Li to go faster. In order to do it you have to stop healing, then heal, and do it again which means you have less healing. Unless of course they're glued to the point which won't happen in most cases since people have to constantly move in different areas because of what's happening.
Also when it comes to attacking and running away you might as well stay still. Where are you going while being self slowed for 20% while having a big hurtbox? Everyone in this sub just forgot about her big hurtbox which makes Fighting even more of a issue. Even if you use morning breath which takes off 4% of self slow. You still have the big hurtbox issue and less options for better cards which most of them suck that I'll slightly explain later as well. Self slow should be gone in general. It should have never stayed especially when they decided to remove it for everyone else.
Second issue is her damage. There was a reason why she did 1,000 damage and not 450. Not only that but they removed her ability to mark enemies by default. You can with a talent but I'll get to that later. Spit does the main damage and now sparkle does limited tickle damage which also means you're wasting your heals. Who thought this made sense in the slightest. You have to use that in order to kill your enemies faster. When your done you have to wait for it to refill to attack the next enemy coming when no one else comes to help making you helpless. Or you somehow kill the enemy because it's hard to do unless low health. You have to use the rest of it to heal your team which you won't have enough of. This is painful to use.
Third issue is it has heal ammo like IO that runs out quick. Yes you can mark your team but it still isn't enough and doesn't fix the main problems. Her main healing is short range. Name one healer in the game that has a short range in healing. They also have to manually heal with sparkle which other manual healers especially auto or assisted aim healers can do way better. God forbid if they have to come back into battle and try to heal a low health teammate with spit which you will miss multiple times. So what's the point of healing with this character. Moving on to Magic Shield
 

Magic Shield

 
This ability doesn't do much for her team or herself and she should have kept magic barrier. This ability feels like a worse version of Torvalds removed talent alternating current. Instead of delaying your death by 1.5 seconds you delay it by one attack and take the next few shots before being able to run away. The only possible use of it is a niche build and team where you run with a flank while having the card harmonious. With the card you are basically a walking dispenser that shoots with the flank you will hug through most of the game. We already have enough niche things that can be pretty boring and are hardly used. Torvalds had multiple of those. Moji doesn't need it too.
 

Scamper

\ \ You can now run indefinitely with it. They removed bunny hopping but then they brought it back when they realized that she was a literal bunny. When they brought it back though they nerfed the speed and the bunny hops. It's so noticeable that it's not any different from the scamper ability when it comes to speed. The only good thing about it is when you do the advanced tech when trying to spray. That is until that 20% self slow puts a ball and chain on you. This doesn't fix her main issues and they made it worse beilieve it or not. Here's there reason on doing it.
Due to changes to how Scamper functions, Bunny Hopping will be weaker at base than it was prior. In order to feel similar to how it did on Moji prior, you'll want high levels of both Boop and Morning Breath to allow those same flings across spaces.
This is completely wrong because when did we ever had a card that decreases self slow. Your really trying to tell me that Moji players, grandmaster Moji players, and bot Moji didn't know anything about it??? Guess it was hidden in the game the whole time. Plus it doesn't even change the speed of bunny hopping because you nerfed it and nothing in her cards effects it. So in order to maintain any kind of speed I have to put points into morning breath which is pretty a forced have too in game. Also who uses boop to increase the speed after using scamper. No one used it because bunny hopping was way better than that because you're able to move while attacking and defending yourself. Anyone running it was basically throwing without knowing. Not even maxing out scoot will save you. Your just delaying your death with that maxed out 20% damage reduction and giving them more ult. Seriously if using regular scamper made you die when trying to escape. What's making it indefinitely going to do?
 

Bon Appetite

\ \ This one really amazes me because they actually put part of yummy into base kit that we asked for halve what. Except there is no ult percentage and gives 50% of maximum health instead of 1000hp and ignores anti-healing. Problem is. This ult is now basically worse than pips ult and atlas setback. They changed everything else but the ultimate in order to keep the old Moji play style that is pretty much dead. They clearly want her to be glued to her team and with this ultimate you make them have to run to the opponent to eat it. The main use now for it is to use it for defence which is horrible because it's so easy to predict it. Most characters can either block, CC immune, dodge, and other things to ignore being ulted. Even with the cancels it won't work. You had a better chance of using it because you can attack regularly, use the magic barrier combo, and other methods to make people take the ultimate. Without magic barrier she less uses for her ultimate. It's now a long charging ability and is terrible. Now for the talents.
 

Spit Shine

\ \ Spit now heals them for 350 and increases their Movement Speed by 20% for 2s. Why is this reworked Moji's only true support talent. This talents fine until you realize that it's also goes against Moji and the team. Let me explain. Remember how Moji has 20% self slow when she fires. Well now that the team is moving at 120% now you're basically moving at 60% and they're outrunning you. Some characters can move even faster and you will basically be at a speed of 40%-60%. So if you felt forced using morning breath you will using this talent and have to make it 5 points. Even with morning breath maxed out. You will be moving at 60%-80% and will be forced to use scamper and may get attacked by a enemy and can't run or hurt them enough. You're just a bad assist healer with some use that is not enough.
 

Jubilation

\ \ Reworked to "Magic Marks are now instead applied to enemies. Detonating at least 7 stacks of Magic Mark deals bonus damage, up to a total of 800". I'm aware that she is a support but they still don't know why she did 1,000 damage in the first place. With this talent you no longer have the ability to use the secondary to heal people. This talent will bring these types of players.
The ones who like old Moji and then realizing that they changed so much that flank Moji is not possible. Instead they may go damage and heal from time to time. Another one is that someone uses it for defence while mainly healing the team and forcing two supports to play in the match. The last one is someone you will see more often is someone not able to play Moji or the talent well. Youthought grohk going damage and seris flanking on the same team was bad. Get ready for her to join the team. Your going to ask them so who is going main support and who will play tank and it's television static. The seris will stand around too much and do a bunch of questionable things. Grohk only has some heals because they were there when they played damage. The Moji is struggling to do anything with it. The seris will plug and the bad grohk player will say something crazy before leaving a millisecond later.
No matter what you do with the talent based on your skill. Nothing just works for reworked Moji including the cards. The damaged worked because she had magic barrier and damage combos with it. Without it she can't do anything when she's is in danger including running away with the giant hurtbox.
 

Realm Runner

\ \ When entering Scamper, leave a magical dust cloud behind that applies a lingering heal for 600 over 3s. Dust cloud lasts 4s.
Moji mains have been wanting toot I mean realm runner in base kit for awhile because it's not a real talent. It's a better version of scurry and when it's in base kit then she would actually be able to use the other two talents and do better without ruining gameplay for anyone. Instead they kept it as a talent to play the old Moji. What old Moji...you got rid of almost everything Moji who is basically just a echo champion at this rate. You turned a forced talent into a throw talent.
The dust cloud we wanted back is just a sparkly circle on the ground that people won't be able to see. Plus is like back then where the team can see it and no one else. Otherwise people will know where she is and take her down. Why.
 

Cards

\ \ None of the cards have any synergy with each other at all. You're basically forced to use morning especially with the healing talent at 3-5. Since default ammunition for sparkle is terrible you will definitely need 3-5 points for symbiotic. Dense woods never needed any points above 1 and was a decent filler card for old Moji. However since this is reworked Moji. Don't think it's worth using since you will try to be around the team constantly and should already be enough. Now we have 5-9 points for ourselves so what can we do. Uhhhh. Well damn.
Oh I didn't mention this earlier but remember how spit shine and Moji's 20% self slow makes the team run away from her. Well the card natures blessing gives allies 5% extra speed when they get hit by spray for 3 seconds. So you can max this out at 25%. Instead of being 40-60% slower than faster teammates being healed with there speed cards and abilitys. 60% slower when trying to healer teammates without anything making them move faster besides you. This is how fast you will be moving compared to them.
You will be moving at 15% at worst to 55% when trying to heal teammates while trying to heal them as they really outrun your heals. With morning breath maxed out you will mainly be moving at 35%-75% while healing. No one has tested this character at all.
Anyway you can look at the cards and get some ideas as we move on to the long time Moji bugs. So for the people who been playing Moji or about to with support Moji. Get ready to deal with these long time annoying bugs.

The Bugs

\ \ It isn't a paladins games without mentioning the bugs. Here's what to expect when playing her so you don't get confused.
If a seris or Kasumi is on the team and attack the same enemy as you. Your marks will reset back to zero everytime they attack. Now can this somehow happen when trying to heal the same teammates. No idea but anything goes with paladins.
If you mark a enemy, shoot spit at them and die. Despite the mark being there the game will for some reason make you do zero mark damage.
A enemys hurtbox when turned into a cookie is really weird. You can touch them multiple times and still won't be eaten until they finally do. Sometimes they may turn back to normal even though you clearly deserved it. Last part hasn't happened to me and I hope it doesn't. What's even weirder is that even though you can't eat them from the front from time to time. Even when they're literally on your head and jumping around. You can definitely eat them from behind with no misses. Why has this not been fixed.
When being ulted by furia that's supposed to give 30% extra damage. You will instead receive 9% extra damage. I don't think this happens to no one else besides maybe jenos too.
These bugs are still relevant for reworked Moji. The other ones are not there like snack attack so I won't mention them. I even have videos for these bugs too. Don't think because these videos are old it means that it no longer happens. The horse bug is old and that has been going on for years including other things.

Conclusion

\ \ I know they want to do something with her but I don't buy it that they did this because they cared about Moji. Moji hardly got any changes for years and I mean rarely a update to anything about her even though we're telling them what to do and then they rework them. They did thid because they didn't have funds for a echo champion since that was mentioned in the exact same post when talking about changing moji. Paladins has a history of someone who works on the game saying they will do this or mention a thing. Whether or not people like it or not which most of them we didn't like. They will still do it like echo champions.
This is the wrong way to go about it and no warning was ever given. To people who think well people ask for support/tank in the past. Those people now see that Moji is actually better than how people depicted her in late season 2. Plus those people no longer play the game and had a whole different idea when paladins was different back then. It's one thing to say I want a support. It's another when it comes to a type of support and what they have but everyone can't explain it because they simply hate Moji based on the comments. There are some characters I hate going against and when there character gets gutted I don't cheer in excitement. I would hate that to happen to my favorite characters. I simply want a certain thing nerf if it's clearly too much but without ruining them. I only suggest a rework or change to a certain thing if nothing else can work and is something people can agree on that benefits everyone.
These changes don't benefit anyone including the ideas since no one asked for these specific things. I would just revert it and actually listen to Moji mains needs to make her a better character. Not just Moji but every character. Especially the non human characters because they stay ignore them including people wanting ruckus Aerial Assault in base kit. Rather you guys fix the actual issues than do stuff like this. Including finishing unfinished maps instead of a unnecessary map rework making them worse to play on and never fixed.
That's all I have to say. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Actually have a real opinion and thoughts and not repeat the same thing over and over without making a actual point or I'm ignoring it.

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

1. Quanxi still kills everyone and the events continue until the Chainsaw man guys wake up

Yoshida ambushes Yoru

1. 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

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.
   
2. 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)

1. 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
   
2. 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

1. 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

1. 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

1. 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

1. 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.
   
2. Fumiko wakes up in the after life and sees her parents again.
   

Nayuta saves Denji (The Power saving Denji of Part 2)

1. 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.
   
2. Instead of ending up at the hospital, Denji is at a garbage can then is saved by Nail and Katana.
   
3. 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)

1. 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.
   
2. 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
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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?"
   
5. Fami arrives completely stopping the fight
   

Trying to make Denji Happy

1. 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.
   
2. 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

1. 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

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

1. 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.
   
2. 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)

1. Fami talks to the Primal devils, it takes time to convince them because of what Fami did to Falling Devil.

Back to normal World

1. 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

1. Death Devil dies

List of deaths during the final arc against Death Devil

1. Story ends

My parents are generally caring folks who have admittedly gone above and beyond for their three kids, more so than the vast majority of parents I think. But they aren't flawless and refuse to acknowledge their imperfections, some of which I deem as abusive. So tell me, Reddit, based of this list, are my folks abusive or not?
Had a small chair smashed over my head by Dad for getting into an argument with my sister.
Woken up in the middle of the night by Mum and had the living shit beaten in me in bed after she went through my phone and saw me exchanging mild terrorist jokes with my friend on WhatsApp.
Belted several times by Mum, such as for talking to two strangers about my personal life due to "Stranger Danger" when I was about 10.
Belted several times by Dad, such as for getting into arguments with my siblings.
Smacked in the head by Mum multiple times, such as for accidentally miswriting something on a homework report or being unable to tell the time in my preteens.
Pinched multiple times by either of my parents for various misdeeds, such as not wanting to take my shirt off during a family outdoor activity in the spring or innocently behaving inappropriately as a kid.
For various other misdeeds, I've been kicked, violently shaken like a rag doll, beaten with a wooden spoon, had something thrown at me, forced to kneel on the floor and raise my arms up in the air until told otherwise, made to stay outside the house in the wind wearing a shirt and shorts and I don't remember who said exactly, but I think I recall one of my folks threatening that they might not be able to control themselves if they're sufficiently pissed off.
If I showed a hint of resistance towards Mum's physical discipline by reflexively protecting myself, she'd guilt-trip me by saying, "So now's come the time when the son does the abusing, eh?" even though I would never and was nowhere to retaliating on Mum, only shielding myself. Even at age 21, when I confronted her about unwarranted physical discipline, she defended herself by claiming that I only focused on the negatives and never the positives of their parenting and she doesn't regret anything she ever did to me and that even if I was aged 24, she would still dole out the physical punishment if she wanted to. When I said I won't let her touch me, she once again asked me if this meant I was going to start beating her back. I said I'd never lay a hand on her nor had I even thought of doing so, it's just that I wouldn't let her touch me, that's it. She asked what if she were to throw a shoe at me, would I throw the shoe back at her and I said no, I'd just keep a distance from her and she lost all control and started berating me for being an ungrateful son, etc
Mum was continually interrupting my conversation with Dad over the phone, causing me to tell her that I'm trying to talk on the phone, but which she misinterpreted as me telling her to shup up or something, resulting in her immediately getting physical with me.
Mum was continuously making fun of something I wrote in a book, causing me to smack the book out of her hand in anger, which she beated me for and locked me up in my room.
Had Dad being angry and yelling at me to stop crying during shower time as he doused me with cold water (which I absolutely hated) when I was about 5-6 after we actually enjoyed a sweaty game of football with some local kids, which soured the experience for me and made me reluctant to play football outside again since the only way I could play was if I had either of my folks with me.
One summer vacation, we were at the beach in the sea, and Dad was trying to take me to the deeper levels despite me being very uncomfortable as I couldn't swim properly yet, resulting in me almost drowning when he left me to it.
In my later teens, Dad would frequently get me to help him out in incredibly strenuous activities which would often completely physically drain me, both at the house refurbishment and our up-and-coming shop, to the point where the neighbouring shopkeepers who saw how tirelessly I worked for him expressed concern by telling him to go a bit easy on me and at least pay me for my efforts, which he addressed by asking me "Don't they know you're my son?" I never once complained or declined his requests to help out since I knew we were tight on money and Dad was making use of all the free help he could get. My only issues were some instances of potential abuse, such as when he got angry and started yelling at me to perform a task that I genuinely didn't understand how to do. I remember pleading with him to help me understand, but he just continued to get frustrated and scaring the shit out of me. Or this other time where after a hard day's work at building our shop, I didn't immediately acknowledge something Dad said to me, leading him to berate me for my supposed social blunder. When he just wouldn't let up, I then proceeded to remind him of a social blunder he once committed, causing him to punch me in the face and berate me more until we got home. When we arrived home, I was offered dinner which I declined solely because I was uncomfortable being around him and so wanted to immediately go to bed, but he forced me to sit right next to me while he shot a death glare at me, which I interpreted as him asserting his dominance over me.
Dad could be very short-tempered and erratic on occasion, to the point where I would feel like I was walking on eggshells around him at times, such as when I woke up one morning and greeted him with a casual "Hellooo" that had a bit of a drawl to it and he suddenly froze up and looked at me with a death glare and I quickly apologised, scolding me for laying my sizeable head back on the sofa while he spoke to me, scolding us if me or my siblings said "Excuse me" if he was in our way in the house since apparently that was too formal and not something you'd say to a family member (especially a father), or if we forgot to say "Good Morning" to him after waking up. I've actually had to appeal to Mum to ask him to control his temper on a couple of occasions and as a result I feel like I can never truly relax around him.
On multiple occasions, I've been forced to eat something even if I didn't want to.
I had a bedwetting problem for most of my life. One time when I was about 5, Dad woke me up in the middle of the night to discover that I'd once again wet the bed. He angrily told me to get up, told me to face the wall and remain in that position in my piss-stained clothes as punishment while he changed my bed and made me go back to bed again.
I have noticeable bumps on my foreheads which I remember where obtained from hitting my head on the ground as a toddler but which Mum claims are just natural or something, which I interpret as gaslighting.
Mum accused Dad of cheating on her, but he proved he wasn't. Years later when I enquired as to what their fight was about she told me the truth (that it was a misunderstanding over his fidelity) which I suspected. When I brought it up again later, however, she totally lied about it for some reason, which I again see as gaslighting.
When Mum caught me watching porn for the first time ever, she berated me by asking whether this also means I would like to see her or my sister naked.
When I was a kid, Dad tried to manipulate me one time when I told him I wanted to make cartoons in the future and he said that job was for a software engineer.
A lot of their advice was to turn myself over to God. Thing is, I no longer believe in God so that advice was falling on deaf ears and I am scared of coming out to them as an atheist.
After deceiving my parents for two years about my online learning, while it was justified to an extent, Dad really let me have it, telling me in no uncertain terms every opportunity he had how extremely let down he was, how he'd never seen anything like this happen anywhere in his entire life (he was 55 at this point) and how my deception and failure were among the two biggest tragedies/disappointments in his life, the other being the civil war raging in our homeland Ethiopia. Mind you this civil war resulted in the genocide of thousands upon thousands of our ethnic tribe the Tigrayans. He would also say that he's so angry but he can't beat me to let it out because I'm an adult now (I was 20 at the time), so he's forced to stew helplessly in his own anger.
They were pretty strict, restrictive and judgmental folks and could be overbearing. Mum would never let me visit another person's house without them having visited ours first, as she explicitly explained so herself and even that was a moot point because she didn't want any peer of mine coming over anyway, so none of my peers came over to my house (until I was 18 and that was because I showed up home with him unexpected and practically begged her to let him come in) and I'd never been to anyone else's house (apart from Sasha's and that was without her knowledge or consent). She forbade all social media apart from WhatsApp and even that I always used in secret when texting people since I knew she'd find some way to be judgemental about it. She wouldn't let me go play football with my friends if she didn't drive me over there herself so she would know the location and even that was reluctantly expressed. Throughout our teens, she forbade TV on the weekdays save for Friday, which she would brag about to her friends, and very rarely let me hang out with others after school for a social outing, discounting the after school badminton club on Thursdays in my mid teens which took place at school Though I guess this could once again be chalked up to being money-conscious, but also being overly distrustful of everyone in the UK. Dad could also get like this, such as making us do school work on Friday after school or insisting on cutting my fingernails even as he was making me bleed .
They both generally either discouraged or outright forbade any interest in fantasy, which included things like Mum eventually forbidding me from reading Harry Potter, berating and almost getting physical with me for watching a Bond film with my siblings when I was about 14 and just when I thought she couldn't possibly find an angle to criticise on me watching My Little Pony she reproached me for a kiss scene that took place. This trait of theirs got completely overblown after my little brother's nervous breakdown, causing Dad to completely ban our former interests in comic books and Naruto, reprimand me for watching 13 Going on 30 and disapprove of us playing FIFA, to the point where I genuinely felt like I couldn't enjoy anything when around them. They would also criticise us a lot for relatively minor things and their lectures could be excruciatingly long, spanning hours. They also had next to no concept of privacy, entering our rooms without ever knocking (unless they knew we were changing) and confiscating our phones a couple times for no real reason whatsoever.
All this has led to me being incredibly sneaky about what I do. I never let them see me with my phone, only ever using it out of their eyesight and I routinely deleted shit stored up on it in case they randomly needed my phone, which they would. I also became adept at lying as well as identifying footsteps. I think due to the sort of parenting they employed, I was very anxious and scared during these particular events:
My primary school teacher once lent me her Harry Potter DVD box set and I didn’t even get past the first film from great fear that Mum would catch me watching it and get angry
During one summer vacation back to our homeland the plan was that Dad would remain in the UK for a bit while the rest of us would go to our country before he joined us. I knew that Harry Potter would be running on some of the TV channels in the UK and throughout the portion of the summer holiday where Dad was still in the UK, which was several weeks, I was deathly afraid of him watching the films and finding out that this was what I liked.
If I remember correctly, I also recall being taught how to masturbate by my babysitter when I was about 3-4 (which I've been doing ever since and I'm now 21), which I've never told anyone and would count as sexual abuse, right?
My little brother has also experienced the below:
Got the living shit beaten out of him by Mum after he was tricked by his friends into writing "fuck" on a whiteboard. He didn't even know what it meant, but I could hear his pitiful wails and screams coming from the bedroom where Mum was beating him.
He accidentally tripped and broke a stair pillar while we were organising the shoe room once, causing Mum to lose it and get physical with him. When I brought this up with Dad years later, Mum either lied about the events or didn't recall it well, the former which I interpret as another round of gaslighting.
He's also been pinched and smacked on the head several times.
So... what do you think, Reddit?

(5e) (MDT GMT-6) Player searching for Online game Hey all! I am a 24YO looking for a group over the weekends. I am available early Saturday morning, but have a game in the afternoon, or all day Sunday. I have bee playing for about 9 months now in my current game.
I am available to fill any role needed in a party, so joining after the party builds their charactemid campaign is fine with me. I do have a few character concepts already built in D&D Beyond app, and we use Roll20 and discord in our game, but I can learn a new tabletop system.

What's with these players that join a host and then proceed to two-shot the first dungeon boss we come across? I've recently seen this happen with Shroud and Riphide among others. Granted, Riphide is very easy to take out -- I can manage it on solo hard in around 30 or 40 seconds using the Blink Token mod -- but I cannot waltz in and take it out in five seconds flat.
I suppose it could be that they're simply higher gear levels -- such as a 20 joining a gear-10 game. But I just experienced this with a host that was gear level 13 playing normal (I joined his game being myself at gear level 10) -- and we were progressing normally, I even had to pick the host up off the floor a couple times after falling to mobs. A new player joined and the next dungeon boss we came across got taken out in five seconds. Even if the player was at gear level 20, the game should have scaled it up to level 16 (three levels higher than the host) the next time we entered an area, and I still cannot see a level 20 player taking out a level 16 boss in two blinks of an eye, even on normal difficulty. No such gear combination or build exists (or if it does, it shouldn't) and even with cheese that's just improbable.
I left at that point; who wants to play in training-wheel mode?
Hey fellers, never mind this boss fight and your skills and teamwork. I zap him he go boom, I zap again he go bye-bye!
So, some kind of hack mutator in play? Even if not the host? Seems particularly off-putting if it's happening and not even from the host.

pro-West party leader says they met PM Pashinyan and discussed a referendum to solidify Armenia's shift to EU

KHZMALYAN (European Party of Armenia): The referendum is our suggestion and demand. We presented it to Pashinyan and expect a response within a reasonable timeframe. We advised making a public statement soon. A referendum would also make Pashinyan's job easier by allowing the people's will to decide Armenia's direction.
REPORTER: How did Pashinyan respond?
KHZMALYAN: He suggested the meeting be held in a closed format so I can't reveal all details. We hope that our voice, our offer, our demand, was heard. If we do not receive a positive response, we will take measures by employing the same methods currently used by anti-European forces [the ongoing protests led by pro-Russian ex-regime]. We will take to the streets and demand a referendum for Eurointegration if necessary.
REPORTER: How long are you ready to wait before taking action?
KHZMALYAN: A few months. Georgia will hold parliamentary elections in October, and Moldova will hold a similar Eurointegration referendum - also in October. The U.S. will hold presidential elections in November which will be important for Armenia's future. Even if the worst scenario unfolds in all three countries, Armenia must stand firm and not take a step back. Armenia could become the leader in democracy in all of Eastern Europe if you consider the situation in Georgia, Hungary, and Slovakia [pro-Russia populist leader]. Armenia could receive an unprecedented level of assistance from Europe under those circumstances.
REPORTER: Did Pashinyan say he plans to leave CSTO?
KHZMALYAN: We did not demand specific dates but we urged him to complete all these processes this year, preferably by November.
REPORTER: Did Pashinyan agree?
KHZMALYAN: The participants of the meeting are under the impression that we were able to present convincing arguments but time will show what actions he takes. The government functions very poorly but nevertheless, they are doing something, they are taking steps.
REPORTER: On May 9, Bagrat Galstanyan gave Pashinyan 1 hour to resign but it's May 21 and he is still here. Why wasn't the opposition able to remove him?
KHZMALYAN: The 3 former presidents and their surrogate forces, backed by 30 years of power, were unable to bring forward a figurehead, a single ideology, that could win the hearts of the people. They used various political technologies, they switched between black and white robes, and they extended the 1 hour to 7 days, but none of that helped because the Armenian people hate them more than they hate Nikol Pashinyan.
REPORTER: You used to be a lot harsher on Pashinyan but something appears to have changed in your tone after your recent meeting with him. What is the reason?
KHZMALYAN: We were able to present our demands and the timelines to accomplish them. Unlike the archbishop and the former regimes surrounding him, we did not give "one hour" for Pashinyan to accept our demands; we did not make ultimatums. We believe the current government is carrying out and will carry out the will of the people to overcome the status of a Russian colony and join the ranks of free nations. We did and do see steps [taken by the government] towards this; we cannot ignore this. We saw the Strassbourg, but also Moscow. We saw the [April 5 meeting in] Brussels, but also [the recent meeting between FMs in] Almaty. We are told this is an attempt to "balance" and we understand where they are coming from, but our factions speak on behalf of over 60% of Armenians who view Russia's policies as deadly for Armenia. We expect concrete actions and we have formed a platform to continue this work; there will be petitions and other actions from us. We are ready to assist Pashinyan, who may be constrained due to ongoing negotiations, by being the public voice and saying the things he cannot say. We will continue to work, to pressure, to influence, to demand. Our meetings also continue abroad. We will press on until we reach our goal - the Eurointegration of Armenia. //
Several prominent Western-oriented political parties recently formed an alliance to promote Armenia's Eurointegration.

Q&A with ruling party MP Vahagn Alexanyan about the ongoing protests led by pro-Russian opposition

REPORTER: You continue to criticize the "holy movement"...
ALEXANYAN: The what now?
REPORTER: ... the "holy movement", by calling it a "pagan" movement. What is the ruling party's stance and do you discuss this internally?
ALEXANYAN: Of course we do, although I don't think Kocharyan's decision to name this movement "holy" is helping them. It's comical.
REPORTER: Do you have proof that Bagrat srbazan is [tied with Kocharyan]?
ALEXANYAN: Bagrat Galstanyan is surrounded by the entire political team of Robert Koharyan, he was a member of Kocharyan's 2022 protests and gave similar speeches he gives today, he received a praise from Russian propagandists, and he was named by a Russian propagandist Aram Gabrielyanov as a potential candidate for a new protest movement just a few months prior to these events, so it's beyond reasonable doubt that Bagrat Galstanyan is part of Kocharyan's team.
REPORTER: You were earlier accusing Galstanyan of being a Russian agent, and now Kocharyan's agent?
ALEXANYAN: Same thing.
REPORTER: The opposition gathered many thousands of supporters on May 9. What does the size of the crowd indicate?
ALEXANYAN: It was similar to Kocharyan's final rally before the 2021 elections. And?
REPORTER: The opposition created a video of "Pashinyan's lies" and broken promises. Will you respond?
ALEXANYAN: The clip itself is a lie and manipulation. For example, one of the supposed lies was Pashinyan's promise of an amnesty for overdue fines and penalties. You are a journalist, you tell me, was there an amnesty or not?
REPORTER: Pashinyan had also said that POWs could wait "just a few more months" and that he wouldn't "sacrifice Armenia's sovereignty" in exchange for bringing them back sooner. Why aren't they back?
ALEXANYAN: Dozens of POWs returned home in December, and efforts continue to bring back the rest. Literally 1-2 days before the POWs' return, the opposition claimed that the POWs were "forgotten" by the government. "Ոչ մի բան չեք անում:"
REPORTER: What about the Nagorno-Karabakh leadership?
ALEXANYAN: There are efforts to return them as well.
REPORTER: Why did the police form a wall to block entry to village Kirants [for nonresidents]?
ALEXANYAN: I think the NSS said they had to take action to prevent interference with the border work. From what I can tell, the protest leader himself went there yesterday and returned only 15 minutes later so there wasn't a big desire to stay there apparently.
REPORTER: They plan to hold a big rally on May 26 where they might nominate Bagrat srbazan as the PM's candidate to replace Pashinyan.
ALEXANYAN: Why not go straight for [alleged narco baron] Mihran Poghosyan [who publicly praised the protests]?
REPORTER: There appears to be a consensus around Bagrat srbazan after a meeting between several forces.
ALEXANYAN: Consensus minus one, where "minus one" is the people. Or to be more precise, "minus two", because the Constitution also prohibits Bagrat from serving as a prime minister. Congratulations on an initiative that's dead on arrival. It's absurd. They suggested replacing the Constitution to allow a dual citizen to serve as PM. Okay... To get Canadian citizenship you have to take an oath to serve the best interests of Canada. To allow dual citizens to serve as PM in Armenia we have to accept for the PM to have loyalty towards another state. The alternative is for the candidate [Bagrat] to admit that his word [oath to Canada] wasn't worth a dime. Երևի մատերը խաչ արած ա երդվել։
REPORTER: But don't you think you are manipulating because Galstanyan received Canadian citizenship just to be able to serve in the church in Canada? He didn't go there to live or conduct business.
ALEXANYAN: It doesn't matter why he went to Canada. He is a citizen of Canada and took an oath. Even religious leaders with dual citizenship cannot become prime ministers. I don't have an issue with him being a dual citizen, but it limits his office options. He still hasn't renounced his Canadian citizenship even after all these talks about a possible nomination.
REPORTER: Galstanyan said he is ready to renounce it as soon as there is a need for it.
ALEXANYAN: In other words, he seeks "guarantees" that he will be the candidate in order to renounce it?

opposition churchman Bagrat Galstanyan demands the Armenian government compensate the damage done to the church during USSR and "return" the properties "legally belonging" to the church

This was said as a response to the critics of the church leadership who accused the church of turning into a political party and suggested taxing the church like a business.
BAGRAT: We have 19th-century churches that were forcefully confiscated and turned into ruins. The properties of the Armenian church must be returned to the church. The area of Moscow Cinema belongs to the church, half of the Katoghike Church was demolished and belongs to the church, and part of the items in Matenadaran were taken away from the church. Instead of threatening us with taxes, they must think about how they plan to return our properties, fully renovated and ready for service.

Armenia's Constitutional Court has a vacant seat. Pro-Russian opposition criticizes Pashinyan's ruling party for favoring a "George Soros-linked" judge who worked for U.S. State Department.

A Serj-era judge is leaving the Constitutional Court after receiving a job offer elsewhere so one seat is vacant. It is the judiciary's turn to nominate a CC judge, so hundreds of judges recently held a meeting and voted for Judge Balayan as their candidate. Balayan's father was a CC judge during Kocharyan's tenure. He was accused in the Wikileaks report of having inappropriate deals with President Kocharyan. Pashinyan's ruling party did not vote to approve Balayan. This led to a second gathering of hundreds of judges where they voted to nominate Judge Khachaturyan as their candidate. The parliament summoned him for Q&A on Tuesday.
SPEAKER: We invite the representative of the judiciary to present their nominee for CC.
JUDICIARY REP: 267 judges voted. Judge Davit Khachaturyan, a member of the Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cassation, won the majority votes.
2000-2005: [blah blah blah]
2003-2006: Legislative Assistance Project Manager at Southern Caucasus Anti-Drug (SCAD) Program, sponsored by European Union and implemented by United Nations Development Program

2014: Academy of Justice of the Republic of Armenian-Russian, Vice-Rector and Lecturer

2013–2020: Law Faculty of Yerevan State University. Lecturer. Development and teaching of courses for the Master Program: “European Standards for the human rights protection in criminal proceedings”, and “Professional Skills of a Lawyer”
etc.
OPPOSITION MP: The ruling faction earlier chose not to confirm the appointment of Judge Davit Balayan; they obviously prefer Davit Khachaturyan. Can you explain why you didn't mention that Khachaturyan served on the board of directors and later as the president of the board at George Soros's Armenia-based Open Society Foundations? How will this record impact his work at CC?
JUDICIARY REP: I presented parts of his professional activities available on the court's public platforms. You can ask the candidate directly.
OPPOSITION MP: The Soros Foundation publicly listed him as a member so I don't understand why it's being hidden now. In your opinion, how will his work at the Soros Foundation affect his impartiality?
JUDICIARY REP: The majority of judges chose him and it's up to Parliament whether to confirm or reject.
RULING MP: Was the voting held in a closed session or can you see how each judge voted?
JUDICIARY REP: It's a closed format. My duty here is to present the candidate. [basically, leave me alone I'm just doing my job]
RULING MP: Why not make the court voting and internal discussions more transparent for the public to see so we will have fewer conspiracy theories on why one judge was preferred over the other?
JUDICIARY REP: I share the view that it needs to be as public as possible but the majority of judges voted to keep the session closed to the press.
RULING MP: Just because the discussions and the vote were behind closed doors that doesn't mean it was anti-democratic, but still, it's better to publicize the process. We hope to see a change in this approach.
JUDICIARY REP: The ballot casting will always be secret and I think that's the right approach in order to allow judges to express themselves without constraints, but I agree that the discussions and speeches should be public. Either way whatever we discuss behind closed doors always reaches the press so in practice there isn't really a major transparency issue there.
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: First, every part of my biography has always been public and part of public discussions. Second, I have always voted in favor of making internal discussions open to the press; it's the best way to avoid incorrect assumptions. Full speech here.
OPPOSITION MP: Congratulations. The ruling party intends to approve your candidacy just as they voted for you in the past for other positions. In all of those instances, you didn't mention your work at the Сорос Foundation. Now, a very interesting coincidence [drumroll... are you guys ready for this bombshell?], during the same time while you worked at Сорос foundation, in 2006-2013, you were also a U.S. Embassy employee [got 'em]. //
Nikol Pashinyan has resigned.
Tavush stretches all the way to Russia.
Bagrat srbazan becomes the Supreme Leader of Historical Soil & Water and the Generalissimos of Slow-Melting Candles... and of course removes the speed cameras from highways.
OPPOSITION MP (continues): With this biography, how do we know you are not an agent of foreign influence?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: I was not an "employee" at the Soros Foundations. Other famous figures have served on the Board [mentions a famous doctor]. Everyone who was part of the Board had duties but it was not really an "employment". As for my simultaneous work with the U.S. Justice Department, there was no conflict with my membership or presidency at the Board because the latter was fully a public activity and we were only given a symbolic sum to compensate for our expenses; we are talking about less than $100/mo. I will let you be the judge regarding an agent of influence. There is a lot that's missing from my biography that was read here [lists some boring constitutional research work, etc.].
OPPOSITION MP: You keep being "promoted" by the ruling party without having the chance to finish your terms. The longest job you've ever held was at the Сорос Foundation - 8 years. The brother of the head of the Anti-Corruption Committee, who is about to join the CC, cannot be impartial. Again, what guarantees can you present that you are not a [Western] agent?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: Your expectation for guarantees stems from the assumption that the [Open Society Foundations] were engaged in activities other than the ones they were actually engaged in. I won't present any "guarantees" because there is no "threat" to begin with. As I've said, that part of my biography has always been discussed publicly and the activities were public and covered by the press.
RULING MP: In your speech you spoke about the judiciary in the U.S. and brought examples. The U.S. doesn't have a Constitutional Court. Don't you think we should also merge the Constitutional and [Cassations Court] with the upcoming referendum to have one Supreme Court with corresponding chambers?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: I support having one unified body like in the U.S., or clarifying the duties to prevent each body from interfering with the other. Lengthy answer.
OPPOSITION MP: A person [in Kirants] received permission [from USSR] to build a house and live in it. Then the [Armenian] government told him there was a mistake [after the clarification of borders]. Some 50 years after this incident, what would your verdict be in this case?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: I understand the context. This issue is the task of the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister and we cannot interfere in each other's institutions. I assume there will be a peace agreement eventually that will be sent to the Constitutional Court for examination, therefore I will refrain from making prejudgments now in order to be allowed to take part in future processes.

A group of lawyers said on Tuesday that their 5% turnover tax [for annual turnover under ֏119M] will become 10% this year, and in 2025 they will be required to switch to a 20% VAT/18% profit tax. The cost of legal services for many clients could increase by over 38%, they warned.
The Ombudsman and the Justice Ministry reportedly oppose this bill by the Finance Ministry.

Fellow Helldivers, heed my call! "Helldivers 2" isn’t just a game—it’s a mission, a duty, a testament to the strength and unity of Super Earth! As a seasoned veteran of countless planetary deployments, I can say with unwavering conviction that Arrowhead Game Studios has outdone themselves, creating an explosive, heart-pounding experience that surpasses the original in every way.
Gameplay and Mechanics: From the moment you drop into the fray, "Helldivers 2" demands your full attention and unyielding loyalty. Every mission is a test of skill, strategy, and sheer willpower, embodying the spirit of our great cause. Whether you're deploying an automated turret in the heat of battle or coordinating an orbital strike, the need for precise teamwork and communication is paramount. Each mission is a unique challenge, pushing you and your squad to adapt and overcome with the bravery and ingenuity that defines a Helldiver. With an arsenal packed with cutting-edge weaponry, versatile gadgets, and powerful vehicles, the tactical possibilities are endless.
Graphics and Design: The battlefield has never looked so vivid. The worlds we conquer are brought to life with stunning detail and vibrant colors, making every mission feel like a high-stakes expedition into the unknown for the glory of Super Earth. The enemies are more menacing, the landscapes more treacherous, and the visual effects more spectacular than ever. From the glow of alien biomes to the fiery aftermath of an airstrike, "Helldivers 2" immerses you in a visually captivating warzone, a fitting backdrop for our noble endeavors.
Sound and Music: Every explosion, every gunshot, every alien scream is a symphony of destruction, a rallying cry for our cause. The soundtrack swells with a heroic urgency, driving you forward in the heat of battle. The sound effects are meticulously crafted, making each reload, each explosion, and each desperate cry for help feel real and immediate. The voice acting adds an extra layer of authenticity, making you feel like part of a tightly-knit team fighting for the preservation of our way of life.
Multiplayer Experience: Brothers and sisters, this is where "Helldivers 2" truly excels. The camaraderie, the coordination, the sheer joy of victory—it’s all here. The drop-in, drop-out co-op system is seamless, allowing you to team up with fellow Helldivers at a moment’s notice. The community is a battalion of dedicated warriors, always ready to lend a hand or share a strategy. Whether you’re facing overwhelming odds or executing a flawless mission, the experience is intense, rewarding, and unforgettable. Together, we are unstoppable.
Replayability: There’s always another mission, another threat, another challenge. With a vast array of missions, varying difficulty levels, and a deep customization system, "Helldivers 2" keeps you coming back for more. The drive to perfect your tactics, upgrade your gear, and achieve mastery is relentless. Each successful mission fuels your determination to push further and fight harder for Super Earth.
Inclusion and Unity: However, amidst the triumphs and thrills, a shadow looms over our ranks. Sony's decision to delist "Helldivers 2" in several countries around the world is a blow to our unified front. This exclusion runs counter to the very spirit of our motto: "We dive together or not at all." We call upon Sony to reconsider this stance, ensuring that every Helldiver, no matter their location, can join the fight and stand with their brothers and sisters on the front lines. Our strength lies in our unity.
Conclusion: "Helldivers 2" is not just a game—it’s a call to arms, a patriotic duty. It builds upon the legacy of its predecessor, delivering an unmatched cooperative experience that will test your mettle and forge bonds of steel. For the glory of Super Earth and the future of humanity, answer the call. Assemble your squad, prepare for deployment, and dive into the most exhilarating co-op game of the year. See you on the battlefield, Helldivers. Victory or death!
