The Six Elements Inquiring into the presupposition of 'I Am' (MN 140)
Once, the Buddha had a chance encounter with a young bhikkhu Pukkusāti who had gone forth with faith in the Buddha but had never met him. Mistaking the Buddha for an ordinary bhikkhu, Pukkusāti welcomed him. This led to an intriguing exchange with the Buddha sharing a teaching focusing on the nature of the six elements, the six bases of contact, and the eighteen explorations of the mind.
Meditator in a tranquil landscape in an impressionist style
Thus have I heard — Once, the Blessed One was wandering in the land of the Magadhans and arrived at Rājagaha; he went to where Bhaggava the potter was. Having approached, the Blessed One said to Bhaggava the potter, "If it's not inconvenient for you, Bhaggava, may we stay in your workshop for one night?"
"It's not inconvenient for me, venerable sir. There is an ascetic who arrived first. If he permits it, then stay, venerable sir, as you like," Bhaggava replied.
At that time, a young man named Pukkusāti, out of faith in the Blessed One, had gone forth from home into homelessness. He was the one who had arrived first at the potter's workshop. Then, the Blessed One approached where Venerable Pukkusāti was; having approached, he said to Venerable Pukkusāti, "If it's not inconvenient for you, bhikkhu, may we stay in your workshop for one night?"
"The workshop is spacious, friend. Please stay, Venerable, as you like," replied Venerable Pukkusāti.
Then, the Blessed One entered the potter's workshop and, after preparing a seat of grass at one side, sat down, folding his legs crosswise, setting his body erect, and establishing mindfulness in front of him. The Blessed One spent much of the night seated in meditation. Venerable Pukkusāti too spent much of the night seated in meditation.
Then, it occurred to the Blessed One, "This young man conducts himself well. Perhaps I should question him."
So, the Blessed One asked Venerable Pukkusāti, "For whom, bhikkhu, have you gone forth? Who is your teacher? Whose Dhamma do you profess?"
"Friend, there is the ascetic Gotama, the son of the Sakyans, who went forth from the Sakyan clan. And about the Blessed One Gotama, such a splendid reputation has spread: 'Indeed, he is the Blessed One, an Arahant, a Fully Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, well-gone, a knower of the worlds, an unsurpassed trainer of persons to be tamed, a teacher of gods and humans, the Enlightened One, the Blessed One.' I have gone forth inspired by the Blessed One Gotama. He is my teacher, and it is his Dhamma that I profess."
"And where is that Blessed One, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One now residing?" the Blessed One asked.
"Friend, in the northern country there is a city named Sāvatthi. There the Blessed One, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, is now residing," replied Venerable Pukkusāti.
"Have you ever seen that Blessed One before, bhikkhu? Would you recognize him if you saw him?" the Blessed One inquired.
"No, friend, I have not seen that Blessed One before; and I would not recognize him if I saw him," Venerable Pukkusāti replied.
Then, it occurred to the Blessed One, "This young man has gone forth out of faith in me. Perhaps I should teach him the Dhamma."
Then, the Blessed One addressed Venerable Pukkusāti, "I will teach you the Dhamma, bhikkhu. Listen and pay close attention; I will speak."
"As you say, friend," Venerable Pukkusāti responded to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said:
"This person, bhikkhu, is made of six elements, six bases of contact, eighteen explorations of mind, and is established in four ways; where standing, the notions of 'I am' do not proceed, and in whom, when these notions do not proceed, is called a sage at peace. One should not be negligent in wisdom, should guard the truth, should cultivate relinquishment, and should train for peace itself — this is the essence of the Analysis of the Elements.
'This person, bhikkhu, is made of six elements' — thus it has been said. Why has it been said? There are these six elements, bhikkhu: the earth element, the water element, the fire element, the air element, the space element, and the consciousness element. 'This person, bhikkhu, is made of six elements' — it has been said with reference to this.
'This person, bhikkhu, has six bases of contact' — thus it has been said. Why has it been said? The eye-contact base, the ear-contact base, the nose-contact base, the tongue-contact base, the body-contact base, the mind-contact base. 'This person, bhikkhu, has six bases of contact' — it has been said with reference to this.
'This person, bhikkhu, engages in eighteen explorations of mind' — thus it has been said. Why has it been said? On seeing a form with the eye, one explores a form that gives rise to pleasure, a form that gives rise to displeasure, and a form that gives rise to equanimity; on hearing a sound with the ear ... on smelling an odor with the nose ... on tasting a flavor with the tongue ...
on touching a tactile object with the body ... on cognizing a mental object (arisen from a mental quality) with the mind, one explores a mental object that gives rise to pleasure, a mental object that gives rise to displeasure, and a mental object that gives rise to equanimity. 'This person, bhikkhu, engages in eighteen explorations of mind' — it has been said with reference to this.
'This person, bhikkhu, is established in four ways' — thus it has been said. Why has it been said? The establishment of wisdom, the establishment of truth, the establishment of relinquishment, the establishment of peace. 'This person, bhikkhu, is established in four ways' — it has been said with reference to this.
'One should not be negligent in wisdom, should guard the truth, should cultivate relinquishment, and should train for peace itself'
— thus it has been said. Why has it been said?

The Six Elements

And how, bhikkhu, does one not neglect wisdom? There are these six elements, bhikkhu: the earth element, the water element, the fire element, the air element, the space element, and the consciousness element.
And what, bhikkhu, is the earth element? The earth element may be internal or external. And what, bhikkhu, is the internal earth element? Whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is solid, solidified, and clung to, that is, hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, sinews, bones, bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, diaphragm, spleen, lungs, intestines, mesentery, contents of the stomach, feces, or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is solid, solidified, and clung to — this is called the internal earth element. Both the internal earth element and the external earth element are simply earth elements. 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self' — thus should it be seen with proper wisdom as it really is. Having seen it thus with proper wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the earth element and makes the mind dispassionate towards the earth element.
And what, bhikkhu, is the water element? The water element may be internal or external. And what, bhikkhu, is the internal water element? Whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is liquid, liquefied, and clung to, that is, bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, grease, spit, snot, oil of the joints, urine, or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is liquid, liquefied, and clung to — this is called the internal water element. Both the internal water element and the external water element are simply water elements. 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self' — thus should it be seen with proper wisdom as it really is. Having seen it thus with proper wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the water element and makes the mind dispassionate towards the water element.
And what, bhikkhu, is the fire element? The fire element may be internal or external. And what, bhikkhu, is the internal fire element? Whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is fire, fiery, and clung to, that is, by which one is warmed, ages, and is consumed, and by which what is eaten, drunk, chewed, and tasted gets fully digested, or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is fire, fiery, and clung to — this is called the internal fire element. Both the internal fire element and the external fire element are simply fire elements. 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self' — thus should it be seen with proper wisdom as it really is. Having seen it thus with proper wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the fire element and makes the mind dispassionate towards the fire element.
And what, bhikkhu, is the air element? The air element may be internal or external. And what, bhikkhu, is the internal air element? Whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is air, airy, and clung to, that is, up-going winds, down-going winds, winds in the belly, winds in the bowels, winds that course through the limbs, in-breathing and out-breathing, or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is air, airy, and clung to — this is called the internal air element. Both the internal air element and the external air element are simply air elements. 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self' — thus should it be seen with proper wisdom as it really is. Having seen it thus with proper wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the air element and makes the mind dispassionate towards the air element.
And what, bhikkhu, is the space element? The space element may be internal or external. And what, bhikkhu, is the internal space element? Whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is space, spatial, and clung to, that is, the holes of the ears, the nostrils, the door of the mouth, and where whatever is eaten, drunk, chewed, and tasted is swallowed, where it stands, where it is stored, and where it is excreted from below, or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is space, spatial, and clung to — this is called the internal space element. Both the internal space element and the external space element are simply space elements. 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self' — thus should it be seen with proper wisdom as it really is. Having seen it thus with proper wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the space element and makes the mind dispassionate towards the space element.
Then, only consciousness remains, pure and bright. And with that consciousness, what does one cognize? One cognizes 'pleasant', one cognizes 'painful', and one cognizes 'neither-painful-nor-pleasant'.

The Eighteen Explorations of Mind

  • Pleasant feeling, bhikkhu, arises dependent on contact. Experiencing that pleasant feeling, one understands 'I experience a pleasant feeling'. 'With the cessation of that very contact that is pleasant to experience, the pleasant feeling that arose dependent on that pleasant contact ceases and subsides' — this one understands.
  • Painful feeling, bhikkhu, arises dependent on contact. Experiencing that painful feeling, one understands 'I experience a painful feeling'. 'With the cessation of that very contact that is painful to experience, the painful feeling that arose dependent on that painful contact ceases and subsides' — this one understands.
  • A neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, bhikkhu, arises dependent on contact. Experiencing that neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, one understands 'I experience a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling'. 'With the cessation of that very contact that is neither painful nor pleasant to experience, the neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling that arose dependent on that contact ceases and subsides' — this one understands.
Just as, bhikkhu, with the friction of two pieces of wood, heat is generated and fire arises, and with the separation and scattering of those two pieces of wood, the heat generated by their contact ceases and subsides;
  • Similarly, bhikkhu, pleasant feeling arises dependent on contact. Experiencing that pleasant feeling, one understands 'I experience a pleasant feeling'. 'With the cessation of that very contact that is pleasant to experience, the pleasant feeling that arose dependent on that contact ceases and subsides' — this one understands.
  • Painful feeling, bhikkhu, arises dependent on contact. Experiencing that painful feeling, one understands 'I experience a painful feeling'. 'With the cessation of that very contact that is painful to experience, the painful feeling that arose dependent on that contact ceases and subsides' — this one understands.
  • A neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, bhikkhu, arises dependent on contact. Experiencing that neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, one understands 'I experience a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling'. 'With the cessation of that very contact that is neither painful nor pleasant to experience, the neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling that arose dependent on that contact ceases and subsides' — this one understands.
Then, only equanimity remains, pure, bright, gentle, workable, and radiant. Just as, bhikkhu, a skilled goldsmith or goldsmith's apprentice might prepare a furnace, light the fire, and place gold in the crucible. By blowing on it from time to time, sprinkling water over it from time to time, and observing it from time to time, the gold becomes refined, well refined, thoroughly refined, faultless, pliable, workable, and radiant. It could be made into whatever form he wishes — whether a bracelet, earrings, a necklace, or a golden chain—and it would serve its purpose. Similarly, bhikkhu, then only equanimity remains, pure, bright, gentle, workable, and radiant.
One thus understands: 'If I were to direct this equanimity so pure and so bright towards the sphere of infinite space (dissolution of distinctions of form element) and develop my mind accordingly, this equanimity, relying on that, clinging (grasping) to that, would last for a long time. If I were to direct this equanimity so pure and so bright towards the sphere of infinite consciousness (boundless awareness)... towards the sphere of nothingness (emptiness and absence)... towards the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception and develop my mind accordingly, this equanimity, relying on that, clinging to that, would last for a long time.'
One thus understands: 'If I were to direct this equanimity, so pure and bright, towards the sphere of infinite space (dissolution of distinctions of form element) and develop my mind accordingly, this is conditioned. If I were to direct this equanimity, so pure and bright, towards the sphere of infinite consciousness... towards the sphere of nothingness... towards the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception and develop my mind accordingly, this is conditioned.'
Thus, one does not form any volitional formations for either existence or non-existence. Not forming any volitions for either, one does not cling to anything in the world. Not clinging, one does not worry. Without worry, one personally attains Nibbāna.
'Re-birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being,' one understands.
Whether experiencing a pleasant feeling, one understands 'it is impermanent', 'I am not involved with it', 'I do not delight in it'. Whether experiencing a painful feeling or a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, one understands the same.
Experiencing a pleasant feeling, one experiences it unattached; experiencing a painful feeling, one experiences it unattached; experiencing a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, one experiences it unattached. Experiencing a feeling limited to the body, one understands 'I experience a feeling limited to the body'; experiencing a feeling limited to life, one understands 'I experience a feeling limited to life', 'With the break-up of the body, following death, all that is felt, not being delighted in, will become cool right here.'
Just as, bhikkhu, an oil lamp burns dependent on oil and a wick, and with the exhaustion of the oil and wick, it is extinguished due to lack of fuel; similarly, experiencing a feeling limited to the body, one understands 'I experience a feeling limited to the body'; experiencing a feeling limited to life, one understands 'I experience a feeling limited to life', 'With the break-up of the body, following death, all that is felt, not being delighted in, will become cool right here.'

Established in Four Ways

  1. Therefore, a bhikkhu equipped in this way possesses the highest foundation of wisdom. For, bhikkhu, this is the highest noble wisdom, that is, the knowledge of the cessation of all suffering.
  2. His release, being founded on truth, is unshakeable. For that is false, bhikkhu, which is delusory, and that is true which is Nibbāna, the un-delusory. Therefore, a bhikkhu equipped in this way possesses the highest foundation of truth. For, bhikkhu, this is the ultimate noble truth, that is, Nibbāna, which is un-delusory.
  3. For him, previously not having wisdom, attachments (possessions, identification) were fully taken up and embraced. But for him, they are abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so that they are no more subject to future arising. Therefore, a bhikkhu equipped in this way possesses the highest foundation of relinquishment. For, bhikkhu, this is the supreme noble relinquishment, that is, the relinquishment of all attachments.
    1. For him, previously not having wisdom, there was craving, desire, passion. But for him, it is abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so that craving is no more subject to future arising.
    2. For him, previously not having wisdom, there was irritation, ill-will, fault-finding. But for him, it is abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so that irritation is no more subject to future arising.
  4. For him, previously not having wisdom, there was ignorance (misapprehension of true reality) and delusion (assumption making tendencies, absence of close examination and verification). But for him, it is abandoned, cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so that it is no more subject to future arising. Therefore, a bhikkhu equipped in this way possesses the highest foundation of peace. For, bhikkhu, this is the supreme noble peace, that is, the pacification of lust, aversion, and confusion.
"One should not neglect wisdom, should protect the truth, should cultivate relinquishment, and should train for peace itself"
— thus has it been said. This has been said on account of this.

Notions of 'I am'

"Where standing, the notions of 'I am' do not proceed, and in whom, when these notions do not proceed, he is called a sage at peace" — thus indeed has it been said. What was this said on account of?
"It is 'I am,' bhikkhu, that is a presumption.
  • 'This I am' is a presumption.
  • 'I will be' is a presumption.
  • 'I will not be' is a presumption.
  • 'I will have form' is a presumption.
  • 'I will be formless' is a presumption.
  • 'I will be conscious' is a presumption.
  • 'I will be unconscious' is a presumption.
  • 'I will be neither conscious nor unconscious' is a presumption.
Presumption, bhikkhu, is a disease, presumption is a boil, presumption is a dart. Overcoming all presumptions, bhikkhu, one is called a sage at peace. Indeed, a sage at peace, bhikkhu, does not get born, does not age, does not die, does not get agitated, does not yearn. For him, bhikkhu, there is nothing by which he might be born; not being born, how could he age? Not aging, how could he die? Not dying, how could he get agitated? Not getting agitated, for what could he yearn?
"Where standing, the notions of 'I am' do not proceed, and in whom, when these notions do not proceed, he is called a sage at peace"
— thus has it been said. This has been said on account of this.
"You should remember this brief exposition of the six elements from me, bhikkhu."
---------------
In this teaching, the Buddha gets mistaken for an ordinary bhikkhu by a young bhikkhu who had gone forth with faith in the Buddha. It is indicative that the Buddha conducted himself with an outward appearance indistinguishable from that of other bhikkhus that trained under him.
Seeing the young bhikkhu conducting himself well, the Buddha shares with him this teaching of the six elements of earth, water, fire, wind, space and consciousness - which when practiced allows for establishing oneself in mindfulness, freed from craving and grief for the world.
The Buddha further shares on the eighteen explorations of the mind through the three kinds of feelings: pleasant, painful and neither-painful-nor-pleasant born from the six sense contacts (form meeting the eye, along with arising of eye-consciousness, ... , mental object meeting the mind, along with arising of the mind-consciousness). He shares these as a way to understand the consciousness element and how it cognizes.
The Buddha then describes the gradual steps from there that lead to the realization of Nibbāna, leading to being established in the four ways of wisdom, truth, relinquishment, and peace.
The Buddha finally shares on the letting go of the 'I am' presumption and any subsequent presumptions that emerge from this, which form the core of what leads one to experience discontentment through worry, agitation, and dissatisfaction.
Closely examining the presumption of 'I am' inherent in RenĂŠ Descartes's "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"), which has underpinned modern philosophy, scientific and rational investigations, individualism, literature and pop culture, psychology, and technology (including debates on machine consciousness), reveals how deeply the world we find ourselves in today is influenced by this concept.
Realizing the truth of "I am" then individually opens up new possibilities and frontiers to be explored across all of these domains.

2024.05.21 14:58 kelthething WIBTA for “exposing” a facebook live seller for pretty much scamming her viewers?

A week ago, a family friend sent us a link to a facebook group. The host is a mom of 2 kids (and has a working husband) who sells things like earrings, bracelets, hair accessories, bags, key rings etc on a live stream.
Here are some of the prices: ÂŁ1.50 for a pair of socks ÂŁ1.50 for a pair of earrings ÂŁ3.50 for a furry unicorn pen ÂŁ0.40 for a hair bobble ÂŁ1.50 for a necklace ÂŁ3.50 for a bag ÂŁ0.75 for a hair clip ÂŁ1.50 for a spoon with text on it (this is only a small list of the things she sells)
We (mom and me) bought some things and were satisfied until one day my mom gets an ad for an item she bought from the host’s live.
We then download the app that the ad was on, and see a ‘lightning sale’ area and lo and behold all the stuff that she has been selling in the live is there, but significantly cheaper.
These are the prices on the app: ÂŁ0.94 for 5x pairs of socks ÂŁ0.17 for a pair of earrings ÂŁ1.17 for a furry unicorn pen ÂŁ0.57 for 50x hair bobbles ÂŁ0.27 for a necklace ÂŁ1.37 for a bag ÂŁ0.50 for a pack of 5 hair clips ÂŁ0.79 for a spoon.
These prices aren’t too different but when you buy in bulk some of the stuff that she sells, it quickly adds up.
In the group there is a woman we’ll call ‘C’. ‘C’ is a BIG contributor to the group and spends £150 at a time on orders. The most recent order makes me feel very bad for her. She bought 115x pairs of socks for £86 from the host. We found the pairs of socks she bought on the ‘lightning sales’ section and they’re there for £0.56 to £0.76 for a pack of 5…
I don’t think ‘C’ knows that she’s being absolutely ripped off. She’s very happy with how “cheap” everything that the host sells is.
The host could easily sell the items for cheaper and still make good profit too. Instead she buys items and then sells them for around 5-8x what she bought them for.
I feel so bad for ‘C’. She’s spent so much money on things she could’ve gotten sooo much cheaper..
The worst thing is that in the lives, the host says things like: “wow this is such a good deal” or “ooh i might keep these for myself” and “more socks for you ‘C’!” She’s also made posts about how she’s been able to afford carpets, sheds and other nice and expensive things out of the money she’s made from the group.
WIBTA for letting ‘C’ know that she could be saving so much money by buying straight from the source?
The only problem i have is that if i let ‘C’ know, the group would probably grind to a halt which would mean no income for the host and her kids from the group. As well as the fact that the host knows our family friend and it might “rock the boat”.
I’m all for people earning money, but i feel like the host is taking advantage of the fact that we don’t know about the app she buys her stock from…
Thanks for reading if you made it this far and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Bit of context i forgot to add is that the family friend who told us about was under the impression that the host buys the stuff from amazon mystery boxes. The items being sold look like stuff from local stores (which sell said items for 2x as much) so it looked like a good deal until we realised it was from another place that sells them for 1/8th of the price she sells them from.
I realise that a business needs profit but we’re under the impression that she’s doing this for us and that she’s giving us such good bargains, but in fact we wouldn’t need her. It would be a different story if she was making 2-3x profit but 5-8x can DEFINITELY add up. Considering ‘C’ paid £150 for something that cost £20…
Also, didn’t mean that she was literally scamming, i said “pretty much scamming” for lack of a better word, what i meant was kinda taking advantage of somebody who doesn’t know.
Btw please don’t hate, literally just looking for advice. Wouldn’t want someone selling me £20 worth of stuff that i paid £150 for.
Ya’ll i probably should’ve said like 8 members are active on her group and C + 2 other members are pretty much the only ones who buy. C is basically being milked dry of her money for shein stuff 😭

2024.05.21 14:36 MichaelGame_Dev Tool to create a new square at 45 degrees?

I'm new and have been just exploring a bit with inset and extrude. I inset the face here then extruded it inward. I wanted to try to inset again, but at a 45 degree angle. So I'd have a square at 45 degrees in the center surrounded by 4 triangles and of course the "frame" around it.
I know inset isn't the right tool, but I can't seem to figure out which tool I should use for an operation like this. I tried bevel as well and tried to look up the options for inset and bevel. I looked over the other tools, but couldn't figure out how to approach this one.
What tool should I use to do something like this? Would I need to try to create a new cube object and size it appropriately then use that to cut into the cube I have here?
wanting to add a square at 45 degrees in the middle of this.
Edit, to clarify further, I'm thinking of trying to make the middle something akin to this and just keep the frame around it all. I'd want to keep all of the areas filled in.

Edit 2: Seems a few approaches to try. Will do so this evening or first thing tomorrow morning when I get to look at this more. Thanks all.

Top Blue Day Activity for Preschool Fun
A fun and interactive method to introduce young learners to the color blue is through the "Celebrating a Blue Day Activity for Preschool," which combines instructional information with enjoyable activities. This theme day is an immersive experience that improves learning via creativity, sensory exploration, and emotional expression rather than merely teaching color identification. Here, we go into great detail on how to turn Blue Day into a preschooler-only event that they won't soon forget, making sure the content is educational, entertaining, and precisely catered to our audience's needs.
https://preview.redd.it/gnjgdi7fxr1d1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0d326dff025ecd626e1f0c7b4a09a41e927cd6f

Understanding the Significance of Blue Day

Blue Day serves as a special occasion in preschools, focusing on the color blue's various shades and associations. It's a day filled with activities, crafts, and lessons all centered around blue, aiming to stimulate children's sensory experiences, enhance color recognition, and foster a love for learning. This thematic approach to education is not only enjoyable but also highly beneficial in developing cognitive and fine motor skills.

Creative and Educational Blue Day Activities

Interactive Blue Sensory Bins:

Sensory bins filled with items like blue water beads, pebbles, and toys can create an engaging learning environment. This hands-on activity is crucial for sensory development and encourages curiosity and exploration.

Crafting the Sky and Ocean:

Utilizing preschool blue day craft ideas for preschoolers, children can make crafts representing the sky and the ocean. This creative process allows children to express their ideas about the world around them, using blue paper, cotton balls for clouds, and tissue paper for water textures.

Fashion Show in Blue:

A blue-themed fashion show invites children to showcase their blue attire, turning the classroom into a runway. This activity is not just about fun; it's a confidence-building exercise that promotes social skills and self-expression.

Healthy Blue Snacks:

Integrating blue foods like blueberries or creating blue-colored smoothies can make snack time educational. Discussing the nutritional values of these foods encourages healthy eating habits from a young age.

Blue Day Parade:

Organize a parade within the school premises where children can display their blue crafts or wear blue costumes. This collective activity fosters a sense of community and teamwork among the young learners.

Innovative Blue Day Crafts for Preschoolers

Creating 'Fish in the Sea' Crafts:

Engaging in blue day crafts for preschoolers by making fish out of blue paper and decorating them enhances creativity and allows for a discussion on marine life, fostering environmental awareness among children.

Blue Bubbles Art:

An activity where children can blow blue-colored bubbles onto paper, creating unique artworks. This combines fun with an introduction to color mixing and pattern recognition.

Blue Ice Painting:

Freezing blue-colored water into ice cubes and using them to paint on paper offers a sensory experience that is both cool and educational, teaching children about the states of matter in a fun way.

Blue Nature Scavenger Hunt:

Take the learning outside with a scavenger hunt for blue objects in nature. This activity not only encourages physical activity but also enhances observational skills and a connection with the natural world.

Maximizing Engagement with the School Parent App

Incorporating the school parent app for Blue Day activities strengthens the home-school connection. Sharing photos and stories from the day's events keeps parents involved in their children's learning journey, fostering a supportive community around the educational process.

Conclusion: The Impact of Blue Day on Preschool Education

A Blue Day Activity for Preschool is a comprehensive approach to early childhood education that combines play and learning, creativity and discovery, and individual expression and group experiences. It is not merely a day full of blue-themed activities. Educators may create an environment that not only celebrates the color blue but also fosters emotional development, fine motor skills development, and cognitive development through well-planned crafts, activities, and engagements. Let's take use of Blue Day's chances and use it to paint the early years of education in vibrant, joyful, and inquisitive strokes. We open the door for lifelong learners who see education as a vibrant and exciting journey by making learning interesting and enjoyable.

As a product reviewer, I've had the pleasure of trying out the Stanley 24 oz. Quick Flip Go Water Bottle in the Tigerlily color. This water bottle has become a staple in my daily routine.
The first thing that caught my eye was its sleek design – perfect for carrying on the go. The double-wall vacuum insulation is a real game-changer. Whether I'm sipping on iced water in the summer or a hot cup of tea in the winter, the temperature remains consistent for hours.
One feature I particularly appreciate is the trigger-action lid. It's easy to use and helps prevent spills, making it great for when I'm on the move. Plus, the fact that it's dishwasher safe is a lifesaver. No more scrubbing by hand!
However, there are a couple of downsides. Firstly, the weight of the bottle can be a bit of a struggle for those who prefer a lighter option. Secondly, the dimensions might not fit all car cup holders, which can be a hassle during road trips.
Overall, the Stanley Quick Flip Go Water Bottle has been a reliable companion in my everyday life. Its combination of style, functionality, and durability make it a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable water bottle.

🔗Cold Steel Heavy Duty Nylon Cane with Rubber Ferrule

I've been using the Cold Steel Heavy Duty Cane in my daily life, and it has proven to be quite the companion. The nylon handle provides an enhanced grip that makes it convenient to hold, while the steel construction ensures structural strength for long-term use. I particularly appreciate the rubber ferrule, which is designed to be slip-resistant, making it an excellent choice for uneven terrain or icy sidewalks.
One downside is that it might be a bit heavy for some people, especially those who don't need the extra weight for support. However, the overall design and engineering of the cane are top-notch, and it gives me a sense of reassurance knowing I have a sturdy and reliable walking staff whenever I need it.

🔗Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel: Robust, Stainless Steel Outdoor Essential


https://preview.redd.it/onud1it34r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19aa78d8c58949aae696362f44a26b21b9da0dca
This past summer, I found myself on a weekend camping trip and realized I didn't pack a shovel. I needed to dig a small trench around my campsite to divert water. Luckily, a friend had a Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel that he let me borrow. On the first day, he taught me how to use it. The edge was sharp, and the handle felt sturdy. I was surprised by how strong it was. I struggled a bit at first, but it didn't take long before I was able to dig the trench.
After returning from the camping trip and reflecting on the weekend, I realized that the shovel had some flaws. Firstly, it was a bit heavy for a camping trip, and I felt it could cause strain on my back over time. Secondly, it didn't come with a sheath, which was inconvenient since I had to keep it in my vehicle's trunk, where it took up too much space.
Despite these issues, I still appreciated the durability of the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel. It was clear that it was designed for heavy-duty tasks. The edge remained sharp even after I used it heavily. The wooden handle felt comfortable to hold, even though it was a bit on the thick side.
Overall, the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel was a functional tool, but it could be improved for camping trips or situations where portability is a priority.

As someone who thoroughly enjoyed diving into the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III and IV, let me share my experience with this dynamic duo. The deluxe edition for Playstation 5 was a refreshing return to the rich world of Erebonia, where war hero Rean Schwarzer began his new life as an instructor at Thors Military Academy's branch campus.
What stood out to me was how the game expertly handled the aftermath of the Erebonian Civil War and introduced new threats to keep the story alive. Delving into it with the improved RPG gameplay on PlayStation 5 made my journey even more immersive. Plus, the cosmetic DLC available with these iterations ensured that every member of my party was looking their best, adding a unique touch to the experience.
However, like any other game, it wasn't all smooth sailing. There were moments that were a bit challenging, but overall, the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III and IV truly delivered an engaging experience that I thoroughly enjoyed as a fan of the genre.

As a home cook who's always experimenting with new recipes and kitchen tools, I've found myself in a bit of a pickle when it comes to removing stubborn grease from my appliances. That's why I was thrilled to try the Shumanit Cold Grease Remover.
Right off the bat, I found it remarkable how quickly this cold grease remover works. No need for a heat source or any harsh chemicals. In fact, it's effective on all sorts of surfaces - my oven, pots, frying pans, baking trays, stainless steel dishes, cooking surfaces, steam extractors, and even hard-to-clean vents.
I've had my fair share of leaky packages in the past, but the Shumanit Cold Grease Remover was surprisingly well-packed. It comes in a sturdy plastic bottle with a trigger spray that's easy to use.
The product has a delightful citrus smell that lifts the spirits while I'm getting my hands dirty in the kitchen. Plus, the grease and grime just seem to vanish as if by magic.
However, there's one small downside to my Shumanit experience. On one occasion, the package was partially leaking, which made me worry about the condition of the other products in the batch. I just hope it was a one-time issue and not a trend.
To sum up, the Shumanit Cold Grease Remover is a truly versatile and effective grease and grime remover. It's a lifesaver for anyone who values a sparkling clean kitchen. Let's just hope the packaging improves in the future.

The Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle is a versatile and durable companion for any outdoor excursion. It's been a part of my camping adventures for years, ensuring that my beverages stay the perfect temperature no matter the weather.
The thick stainless steel walls not only keep my iced drinks cold for two days but also keep my hot beverages warm for up to two weeks. Plus, the leak-proof lid doubles as a cup, providing a convenient and easy-to-use option for sipping on the go.
The 2.5-quart capacity is ideal for sharing drinks with friends or keeping a large quantity of your favorite beverage at the ready. I've washed my Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle in the dishwasher without any concerns about rust or BPA exposure, and it continues to perform as well as it did on day one.

🔗Stanley Vacuum Insulated 1.5qt Bottle: Leakproof and Durable for Any Adventure

https://preview.redd.it/hv1cfgh54r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92c3e83a1e6ed9bde65bd49c95962c0425bd9025

For my outdoor adventures, the Stanley Legendary Classic Bottle 1.5qt Habitat has truly been a game-changer.

One of my favorite features is the stainless steel construction, which not only makes the bottle sturdy and durable but also ensures it's free of BPA, a nice touch for any health-conscious individual. The double-wall vacuum insulation, another key highlight, works wonders in keeping my beverages at their desired temperatures, even in extreme conditions.
However, I found that the bottle can be quite difficult to clean, especially along the insulated areas. Additionally, the screw cap lid, while functional, can be a bit tricky to twist off after a while, depending on the grip strength. These minor inconveniences aside, the Stanley Legendary Classic Bottle has proven to be an indispensable companion on all my outdoor excursions.

🔗Versatile Cold Welding Formula for Robust Bonds


https://preview.redd.it/4ogfz5u54r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4866a573a4c06607a53a48abca3bb57ecd3aa95
Recently, I got my hands on the J-B Weld Original Cold-Weld Formula Steel Reinforced Epoxy. I was intrigued by the fact that it could serve as an inexpensive alternative to welding, soldering, and brazing. To my surprise, this versatile epoxy proved to be a game-changer in my daily life.
One of the most impressive features of the J-B Weld epoxy is its water-resistant nature. I used it to seal a leak in my water pipe, and it worked like a charm. The epoxy's petroleum and chemical resistance made it perfect for my project, as it withstood various tests without any damage.
Another standout feature of this product is its non-toxic and safe-to-use nature. I used it to fix my child's broken toy, and its safety made me feel more comfortable.
However, I did notice that the mixing ratio of the epoxy is quite sensitive. One must be cautious not to deviate too far from the 1-1 ratio of liquid steel/epoxy resin and the hardener. A slight miscalculation could result in a weaker bond or the need for reapplication.
In conclusion, the J-B Weld Original Cold-Weld Formula Steel Reinforced Epoxy is a must-have for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its ease of use, remarkable strength, and versatility make it a standout product in its category. Despite the minor drawback of the mixing ratio, the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience.

I recently put the Stanley Classic to the test on an outing to the mountains. This bottle is a true companion for outdoor enthusiasts, with its impressive 18/8 stainless steel construction and BPA-free design. The 1.5 quart capacity means it can handle all types of drinks, from hot coffee to icy coolers, and keep them at the optimal temperature for up to two days. The folding handle is a clever added feature that allows for easy carrying without the risk of it rolling away.
One of the standout features of this bottle is its leakproof design, making it a reliable option for packing in a backpack or storing in a truck bed. The wide mouth also makes it easy to fill and clean, which is especially helpful for those who enjoy making their own homemade brews. However, I did notice that the bottle is quite heavy, weighing in at 2 pounds, making it more challenging to carry for longer periods of time.
Overall, the Stanley Classic is an excellent investment for those who love spending time outdoors and need a reliable companion to keep their drinks at the perfect temperature.

🔗Portable Insulated Water Bottle with Silicone Straw


https://preview.redd.it/l5lg54i64r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e07172bcc88a069950d96dd4cfb862f209f40f40
I recently had the chance to put the Cooper Stainless Steel Water Bottle to the test, and I have to say, it impressed me with its performance. The most standout feature of this water bottle is its ability to keep drinks cold for an impressive amount of time. I often struggle to find a water bottle that can truly keep my beverage chilled all day long, but this one did just that. The double-walled and vacuum insulated design does an excellent job of maintaining the temperature of the liquid inside.
Another feature I appreciated is the leak-proof lid. No matter how rough I was with it, it never leaked once. The one-touch silicone push button locking mechanism helped keep my bag and clothes dry, while the straw was a fun and convenient addition. Cleaning it was also a breeze, thanks to the top rack dishwasher safe lids and BPA-free materials.
However, I did experience a downside with the product - it isn't suitable for hot beverages. If you're someone who prefers drinking tea or coffee, this may not be the best option for you. Additionally, I found it slightly difficult to fit the bottle in my usual cup holders, which can be inconvenient during travel or at the gym.

🔗Stanley 1.1 Qt. Legendary Classic Canteen - BPA-Free Stainless Steel


https://preview.redd.it/fva5u8074r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=021a8e122aa23b47e0dbf977a9a0b77939f8066e
I recently had the chance to try out the Stanley 1.1 Qt. Classic Canteen, a 18/8 stainless steel bottle that promises to be leakproof, packable, and perfect for outdoor use. At first glance, the canteen looks sleek and sturdy, with a classic design that makes it easy to hold and carry around. It comes equipped with a removeable carrying strap that keeps your hands free and adds a touch of style to the canteen.
One of the standout features of this canteen is its non-insulated stainless steel material, which allows for easy packing while still offering a decent capacity for your favorite beverage. However, I found that the lack of insulation means that the canteen doesn't retain temperature as well as I would have liked. While it's fine for day-to-day use, it's not ideal for taking on long hikes or camping trips where maintaining the temperature of your drink is important.
Another downside to the canteen is the attached cap, which can be a bit tricky to open and close, especially with one hand. Though I appreciate the convenience of having it attached, it would be nice if the cap were more user-friendly and easy to access. Additionally, the metal clips on the carrying strap can be quite loud when walking or hiking, which can be a bit distracting and might not be the most discreet choice for stealthily navigating through the wilderness.
Despite these minor drawbacks, overall I found the Stanley 1.1 Qt. Classic Canteen to be a functional and stylish option for everyday use. It's a good choice if you're looking for a versatile water bottle that won't break the bank, but just remember to manage your expectations when it comes to insulation and noise.

Nonetheless, for those seeking a durable, stylish, and functional water bottle, the Corkcicle 32oz Sport Canteen offers an impressive range of features.

🔗Versatile Insulated Water Bottle with Cup Lid


https://preview.redd.it/ba7lnum74r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4236dde9fc2a1109edb6d8a02ff4d627c9fb186e
This Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle, aptly named "Nightfall, " has become an essential companion in my daily life. The bottle's robustness and dependability have captivated me, as my newfound favorite keeps the brew piping hot during those frigid mornings or even chills your favorite beverage during scorching summer days.
One of the key features that have blown my mind is its innovative, leak-proof design. By using the twist-and-pour stopper, it ensures that my adventures are safe from any accidental mishaps involving the bottle. Moreover, the slim design makes it the perfect single-handed companion, ensuring a comfortable grip.
However, there are a couple of minor nits. The lid being insulated and doubling as a cup is a fantastic idea, but I found it a tad more tedious than convenient during my first few times. Additionally, while the bottle's sturdiness won my heart, it unfortunately lacks a wider mouth, which might make it a bit more practical for my soup-loving, chunky ingredients cravings.
The Stanley's performance has made me believe it's not just about the product but also about the spirit of adventure it represents - one sip at a time. Despite a few minor quirks, it's a reliable bottle worth every penny spent.

Crafted in the image of the infamous Darth Vader, this Corkcicle Star Wars canteen is not just a stylish way to keep your drinks cool. The 16-ounce canteen promises to keep beverages cold for up to 25 hours or warm for 12, all thanks to its triple-insulated lining. Its stainless steel construction ensures it's not just durable but also perfect to use in any setting, be it by the pool or at the office. The canteen is equipped with a screw-on cap that prevents any liquid from escaping and keeps the temperature consistent inside. The ergonomic design and flat sides make it easy to grip, and its stay-put silicone base ensures it stays securely in your hand, avoiding any spills.
My experience with this canteen has been nothing but stellar. The Star Wars design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also adds a fun touch to my everyday life. The triple-insulation keeps my beverages at their desired temperature for longer, especially during our hot summers. The cap is a great feature that prevents leaks and spills, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold. However, I wish the product was dishwasher safe as the paint tends to peel off after a few uses, which can be a bit disappointing.

Designed specifically for CCM 2-Bolt Goalie Cowlings, this complete set comes with both left and right runners, ensuring perfect fit and seamless functionality. Made in Canada, the high-quality craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of the blade, from its sleek design to its exceptional edge durability.
While the hardest possible edge offered by Step Steel Black is undoubtedly impressive, I also appreciate the added Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the mirror side finish, which significantly boosts blade performance by generating a winning combination of low friction and high surface hardness.
What sets Step Steel apart from other blade manufacturers is their innovative aspect ratio, which accelerates pushes across the crease for modern butterfly and hybrid goaltenders.

How do I maintain my Cold Steel Smatchet?

To maintain your Cold Steel Smatchet, make sure to clean it after use and store it in a dry, cool place. Regularly oil the blade and handle to prevent rust and keep the components in good condition. It is also recommended to sharpen the blade periodically using a sharpening stone.

Do Cold Steel Smatchets come with a warranty?

Yes, Cold Steel offers a limited lifetime warranty on the materials and craftsmanship of their Smatchets. However, this warranty does not cover accidental damage or normal wear and tear.

What is the return policy for Cold Steel Smatchets?

Cold Steel has a 30-day return policy for their Smatchets. The product must be in its original, unopened packaging, and the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

2024.05.21 11:40 ask_ivan Using my packing cube as a travel daypack (pt. 2)

Using my packing cube as a travel daypack (pt. 2)
Two months ago, I shared a travel hack I made for my work trips: an airtight compression cube for clothes, that turns into a 15.5L daypack.
I didn’t expect nearly 100k views! Many of you gave me ideas for how to make it better, so I did.
Here’s a look at the updated version I made:
Packing cube mode:
  • Squeezes the air out of my clothes like a Ziploc cube
  • Holds ~1-2 weeks’ worth of clothes
  • Goes into my carry-on/cabin luggage
When I get to my room, I unpack my clothes and put them in the cupboard. The empty packing cube becomes my travel daypack.
Backpack mode:
  • Airtight zips, fabrics, and seams - I’ve dunked it into a pool with my laptop inside.
  • Can be soaped & hosed down in the shower. Dries completely in 5-10 minutes.
  • Detachable carrying handle, shoulder straps, mesh back padding, and external water bottle sleeve.
  • External quick access pocket for phone/wallet/keys/snacks. Rainproof, but don't swim with it.
Why do I need to be so weatherproof? In Seoul and Dubai, I got flooded up to my knees in torrential rain. In Paris, a pigeon took a fat dump on my bag while walking to a conference. In Taipei, someone knocked an entire tray of beevodka/mixers onto my bag.
Never again.
Also, I like to take long walks when it's snowing outside. Pretty useful for keeping my stuff dry!
Detachable laptop/iPad sleeve:
  • I carry this in my hand on flights, like a regular laptop sleeve.
  • Holds my 14" laptop, MX Keys Mini keyboard, laptop stand, Bluetooth earbuds, 20,000 mAh power pack, 1 meter 100W USB C2C cable, phone, and travel documents.
  • Easily snaps onto the inside of the packing cube. Ta-da ~ now it’s a laptop backpack.
It's sized similar to the Kanken, with a 15.5L capacity.
Dimensions: 15 x 10.5 x 6 inches (38.5 x 27 x 15.5 cm).
Weight: ~0.65kg / 650g
I use it for everything now: short hikes, going to the gym, at the beach, to the office. Even when I'm not traveling.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

2024.05.21 11:20 Potential-Bunch-8109 A weekend with her

Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/OffMyChestPH/s/JPmEf0aCn6
So since people were asking for an update. Here we go.
We did not end up having a following date. She got tired from paragliding the next day(yesterday) I even went and nag relax sa beach malapit sa resort n'ya para if ever na mag reply s'ya na gusto n'yang lumabas eh malapit na'ko hahah. So when I asked her to hangout today she declined dahil she's done going outside. And she's leaving tomorrow morning na ren. She's introverted autistic so understandable. I respect it. But I tried asking for one more night kahit na sa hotel lang at mag usap just like the first night. I was gonna get flowers otw pa naman and give her my bracelet that I'm wearing during the time na I was with her and one of our photo booth picture na may hand written letter ko sa likod. But oh well 🤷‍♂️. Am I upset? A lil bit but I came in terms with it. She was probably overwhelmed den dahil sa bagong experience at talagang I did my best talaga.
Now, were just chatting online na lang pero not like fast replying talking stage type shit.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything naman talaga after she leaves dahil considering every circumstances I know na di kame mag wowork as an ldr. Pero I love to think na what made it special between us was the underlying bittersweet part nga na we know there's an ending and have an idea about it. Just like a movie, may umpisa at may katapusan. Yes, it was like a movie(pinanood ko yung Before Sunset na sinabe nung unang comment sa first part ng post ko) so yeah for the most part it was really like that.
So now, from what I'm seeing between us we would just keep in touch through discord pero that's about it. I didn't ask her to get connected sa socmed na ren. Because it would make me keep my memory of her from those nights. This beautiful, interesting, mysterious, and weirdly fun woman I met.
I even told her to my friends. I told them the story and what happened. I told them what I'm telling you guys rn.
I honestly just wish she had an amazing time with me. Like something she'll remember for good amount of time. I really hope the best for her. I hope I've set the standard for her and she won't settle for less than me if she ever starts dating.
As for me? She changed me. Remember how I said I'm not the ideal guy sa first post ko? Yeah. I would frequently hookup. Had fwb/fubus. Would to multiple girls at the same time. I was like that.
But after meeting her and finally experiencing something like that and romanticizing everything about us, I liked it.
I long for something like that again but not right now. In the future sure.
So I deleted all my dating apps. Kinausap ko mga current girls na kinakausap ko and told them what happened which is unusual for me dahil almost everytime when I'm done talking with a girl I would just ghost them because it's easier for me. Stuffs like that, talagang binago n'ya ako. One of my friends is even proud of me. Kaya I even gave them the condoms that I'm supposed to use pa. Some of them aren't fond den sa lifestyle ko e hahah
But yeah, I'm done chasing girls and being sexually motivated. I would rather instead romanticize my own life. Make my own adventure and connect with people I meet along the way.
I even had my friend help me to make a bucket list for me. After namen mag usap kanina I submitted my leave request. I'm planning on going to a vacation on a different place na ren. Who knows? I might find someone who I'll go out with on wherever I go. I'm not gonna actively chase it but that does sounds fun naman haha parang sa perspective n'ya.
It might be not the kind of ending that you guys were hoping(me too) but it's an ending. So yeah, I hope she'll have a good life. I told myself na babatiin ko s'ya ng happy birthday ever.
And thank you everyone sa mga comments. I didn't expect to have people actually get invested on it and ask for updates.

Cube-eye 3D Depth TOF Camera
https://preview.redd.it/2uqnt47krq1d1.jpg?width=496&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=788b01dfcaf146b31026b37896be6b3d383e0f5d
Cube-eye is a 3D depth camera manufactured by Meerecompany, a South Korean company. It uses time-of-flight (ToF) technology to capture depth data.
Here's how ToF cameras work:
Ø The camera emits a light source, typically a laser.
Ø The light bounces off objects in the scene and returns to the camera.
Ø The camera measures the time it takes for the light to make the round trip.
Ø Based on the time it takes for the light to travel, the camera can calculate the distance to each object in the scene.
This 3d depth data can be used for a variety of applications, including:
Ø Volume measurement
Ø Collision avoidance
Ø Action recognition
Ø Object detection
Ø Gesture recognition
Ø People detection.
Cube-eye Key Features:
Ø High accuracy: Cube-eye can measure distances with millimeter-level precision, making it ideal for applications that require precise depth information, such as robotics, augmented reality, and industrial automation.
Ø Wide field of view: The camera has a wide field of view, allowing it to capture a large area in one shot. This is useful for applications where you need to track objects or movements over a larger area.
Ø Compact and lightweight: The camera is compact and lightweight, making it easy to integrate into various devices and applications.
Ø Multiple models: meerecompany offers several Cube-eye models with different resolutions, frame rates, and field of view options to suit different needs.
If you are looking for 3D depth cameras, you can find them at Cube-eye.

2024.05.21 10:36 Arctodus Impressions of Leviathan Wilds, Slay the Spire, Cascadero/dito, Spectral, and Harmonies

The world conspired in the best of ways to bless me with a whole bunch of new games at once and I happened to be able to get in a lot of plays quickly with them.
Always get an idea of who's talking before you take anything away from these reviews/impressions. Maybe we're really different people. I've been in the hobby for 10+ years. I've played a lot of games. I love interactive and mechanically unique games. I worship Reiner Knizia. Some of my favorite games are Tigris and Euphrates, Spirit Island, Race for the Galaxy, Agricola, Battle Line, and Oath. My favorite games of last year were Stationfall, Ra (reprint), and Zoo Vadis.
Okay, let's go!
Cascadito/Cascadero - Is this a Pokemon Red/Blue scenario? No! There's room for both halves of this pair of Knizias in a collection. I think Cascadero is the better game, but Cascadito slides onto our table more easily. I'm a bit of a believer in the Moneyball theory of games (does the game "get on base" (to the table)?) so, that matters!
Cascadero - 4 plays at 2 players - First, the production is perfect. Svelte box that's easy to pack, wooden pieces, great graphic design with built in rules reminders by Ian O'Toole, and a striking cover make this a joy to play. If you enjoy the general waves hands of Irish Gauge, you're going to love how this looks.
Cascadero requires a little patience, but I think I'm starting to see a heart of gold down in there. As a Knizia tile-layer, right away, this game is, unfortunately, going to get compared to some of the greatest games ever made. Games like Through the Desert, Samurai, Babylonia, etc. I say unfortunately, because I don't think you'll love this game on the first play. That's because I think the default/starter side of the board is less interesting. If you're familiar with games, do yourself a favor and flip to the farmer side as soon as possible. Even then, Cascadero is subtle. When played best, it's a quiet maneuvering of cubes up to just the right spots on tracks with pieces on the board in all the right places that build a little lattice of opportunity. Not just one combo ready to score, but a set of circumstances that hedge on an opponent's move. Paths are everywhere, and you're using them in just the right ways to get across a double score gap or to slip into a fold in the track that gives an extra bonus. I feel like the review circuit doesn't usually play games enough times to appreciate this one, and maybe it's subtle to a fault. It isn't great when you hear "it gets good on game 4", but I'm four games in and usually that's the point where I'm bored of most games. With this one I'm excited to play more.
Cascadero is great!
Cascadito - 5 plays at 2 players - Do you like My City? Do you like My City: Roll and Build? I do. I probably wouldn't list them in my favorite games, but they are such great weeknight-with-the-partner games that I appreciate them all the same. Cascadito isn't billed as a campaign game, but rather as four maps. Maybe a 4 game campaign doesn't sound long enough, but I'm busy. 4 games sounds like something I can do. If you've played Cascadero, map 1 is the less interesting version of that game. Stick with it though! Like My City, you get the joy of seeing Knizia riff on an idea. We enjoyed each subsequent map more and more and we could see ourselves replaying #3 and especially #4. In fact, on map 4 we kept looking at each other's sheets during the game - on a roll and write! I like that.
Cascadito is good!
Spectral - 6 plays at 2 players - I'm pretty picky about deduction games, especially as board games. As someone who has put hundreds of hours into Picross and sudoku I need there to be a good reason why I'm using my precious time with my friends on something that is usually so solitary. So far, I've really only liked The Search for Planet X. While it isn't known as a particularly interactive game, my friends and I have played it so competitively that we look for any scrap of information that might give us the edge, and the publishing system cranks up the incentive to take some leaps of faith in a tight race.
When I heard about Spectral I was excited - an interactive, bidding based logic puzzle - cool! Six games later, I haven't really figured out how to interact with my opponent. While The Search for Planet X has clear moments of intention to watch for (publishing papers), it's really hard to tell when your opponent is acting with intention or just exploring in Spectral. You also don't have those little clues like what your opponent is scanning for or researching like in Planet X to build some kind of theory around. The game is a breeze to play, yet barely leaves room to grapple. So maybe the interaction isn't super strong, but how's the logic puzzle?
Boring. Imagine playing sudoku, but the logic restrictions were only for rows and not also columns, or within squares. You can do some deduction with the curse cards, but the treasure cards (12 of the 16) are all essentially equally informative and don't allow for much in the way of chains of deduction. You can do a little bit with probabilities of where treasures are likely to overlap, but it rarely feels worth it to pursue when finding curses provides a much more reliable benefit.
I want to be wrong about this game. Please, someone argue this one with me.
Spectral is okay. If you play it once or twice, I think you'll have a good time, but I don't see it having legs.
Slay the Spire - I've had this game for less than a month and I think I've put in maybe 50 hours at the table with it at this point. I've played with people who have 1000s of hours in Slay the Spire - they have loved it. I've played with people who have never played Slay the Spire - I see them playing Slay the Spire on Steam the next day and asking when they can next come over. People who usually duck out of a game night at 10pm are still at the table at 1am.
I was really worried it would be bad. I wondered, why not just play the digital game? But here I am, holding the box and knowing without a doubt, this object sparks joy. Have you ever experienced a solitary piece of media, obsessed over it, and then gotten a chance to experience it together with other fans? Maybe something like watching Game of Thrones with friends after reading the books. It feels great to share in something you've loved. That's how Slay the Spire has felt. But it's not just that, as evidenced by the friends that have never played the digital game and still loved it. It's just a damn good deck builder, and the whole system of knowing exactly what the enemies are going to do before they do it goes over so well here. It's so apparent that this translation was a labor of love and so much has gone into preserving the spirit of the game. I love it.
Slay the Spire is excellent!
Leviathan Wilds - played the first 3 Leviathans solo and at 2 - I backed this as a Shadow of the Colossus fan, and hoped for the best. I'm honestly blown away by how much this game has exceeded my expectations. First, there's something about this game that feels so complete and efficient. There's no Kickstarter bloat. It's in a very understated, retail sized box. The game just gets so much out of each component. It feels like the people who made it have made a lot of games before (and they have!).
I have trouble finding mid-weight 1-hour co-ops that I like. I love co-ops like The Crew at the short and sweet end and Spirit Island at the epic and heavy end, but the games that hit around the Pandemic range have never appealed to me. There often seems to be too much upkeep and setup, and not enough to keep me interested in sharing a puzzle with other people.
Leviathan Wilds is sooooo easy to set up. Setting up a Leviathan involves opening a spiral bound map book and laying out five cards. Processing the enemy turn involves flipping a card and later doing what it says. I don't play solo games, pretty much ever, but I'm playing this solo because it's so damn easy to run.
The moment to moment gameplay has been a blast. The systems are very open and freeform and the cards are multi-use, so there's often this feeling of scrapping together just the thing you need from odd parts - burning this card, eating this mushroom, falling here, etc. The movement system really leans into the mechanics of Shadow of the Colossus and allows for a creativity and freedom while reinforcing the theme. Every game we've played has been tight and we've failed a few times. I like that. My only complaint was that the enemies will sometimes do "swift" moves that resolve before your turn so you don't have much of a chance to react. I didn't realize until a game or two later that you can still use skills on cards to react instantly which might be an easy rule to miss. I've felt much better about "swift" since learning that. I'll definitely be backing the announced small expansion for the upcoming reprint. What a pleasant surprise.
Leviathan Wilds is excellent!
Harmonies - 6 plays at 2 players - This game has been called a Reef killer, an Azul killer, and a Cascadia killer. I own all those games! So, what's the body count at my table? Well, first off this game is lovely. The art is beautiful, the spatial puzzle is quite satisfying, and the playtime is breezy (especially at 2). It is most comparable to Reef in that you are arranging and stacking pieces in configurations for points, but there's a second layer of tile arrangement, similar to Cascadia's habitats, that's always present, no matter what cards come up. The Azul comparison is probably due to the drafting of tiles from a central market. So, what's the outcome?:
  • Reef - Dead. Harmonies gives me a similar spatial puzzle in less time, in a smaller box, with better art, and it feels more thematic (I want to make homes for all my animals!).
  • Cascadia - Dead. (although I was tired of it already). I find the game to game strategies in Harmonies to be more diverse and I don't feel like I have an algorithm to follow like in Cascadia (Is there a tile that increases two habitats? Can I fit a fox between my other groups of animals?).
  • Azul - Alive. It's a stretch to compare the two games, but the drafting portion is far more interesting in Azul with the combining pools of tiles. Azul sits with Carcassonne in this perfect zone of being a gateway game that starts out gentle and puzzley and more you play it the more cutthroat it becomes. This isn't Harmonies, but...
Harmonies is excellent. I wouldn't be surprised if its the best gateway type game of the year. I do think it could slow down significantly with more players, but I tend to play something more interactive beyond 2.
Dro Polter - Too many plays to count and at all player counts - I think this is Oink's cutest production yet. The chunky wooden ghost, the tiny bells, the little set of treasures you'll hold in your hand. If you like frantic dexterity games, this is great. You can explain the rules in about 2 sentences and it's very non-gamer friendly. The cleverest bit is how you have to hold onto points in the form of tiny bells and if you drop them you lose them. It's an excellent system of handicapping the leader that often turns to laughs. It's mostly a novelty, but if you can introduce it to a few different groups of people, it feels worth it. Great with kids too.
Dro Polter is great!

The normal sized beads and pony beads are from my mom's craft stuff that she hasn't used in years, and the teeny tiny beads and letter beads are from my meager stash!
Go Piss Girl was my first one ever, I want to restring it with some quirky yellow beads I found. I went through my entire bag of letter beads to find the grungiest ones.
Hello Kitty was fun, I tried it on my own and then watched a tutorial because I couldn't figure it out. The weed leaf is made with iridescent green beads, I think they're 12mm because they feel bigger than normal pony beads. I used the same ones to make the alien charm, which I designed myself and is now hanging from my rear view mirror! The charm is kinda bent because the black beads are smaller than the green ones, but I still tried to tug it pretty tight.
The Patrick star is a gift for my best friend, I was inspired by someone else on here. (Quick note: Inner star is 5 pink for body, 5 green for pants. Making this is easier of you lay out your beads first)
Bisexy Babe was an excuse to try my hand at something I saw on here, I saw someone make the little flag and I couldn't resist. It's so small that the ladder stitch flops sometimes, and my beads being different sizes doesn't help. I still love it :)
Cinephile was an experiment, I'm fully aware that I'll look like a FiLm bRo if I wear it out but it reminded me of a film reel, what can you do. So I have these absolutely miniscule glass beads from a cheapy Walmart set, and after struggling to even get the string through them I put some clear beads over them. It makes a nice sound and I think it looks kinda cool.
For Repo Man, I used the same technique in one place. I used a few tiny beads that would slip through the bigger opening of a normal pony bead, so I put a black glass bead to keep the small beads in place and then put a black pony bead over it. I really like the result! (And I found out I can't make random bracelets to save my life, all the beads on this one are very strategically placed because of their sizes and shapes and how I wanted the colors to look.) It's not a particularly sneaky reference but I still want to know who gets it 👀
Eep I'm afraid to cut the strings off of some of them because I haven't put clear nail polish on the knot yet. And I already know that elastic string isn't the best, but it's what I had on hand and I'm trying to blast through it so I don't just throw it away.
NOW FOR THE PHRASE LIST PART: I've seen lists on here and screenshots of people's lists from their notes apps, and I started gathering all my ideas into one place too. I was using a part of one of my Notion pages, but that just got too unruly. And I always had the idea for a spreadsheet, so I went ahead and made one. Sometimes I feel like I'm too organized for the kandi spirit 😅
I'm a little embarrassed to share just because it's so poindexter, and there's a lot of inside jokes and cringe shit that I'm into, but as of posting this I have 220+ entries into a Notion table (I have it set to show how many because I love seeing the number go up), and they're tagged with themes/fandoms (space, Spongebob, etc), phrase length (how many words), and I have a section for notes about how I'd like it to look. I also have inappropriate ones tagged as nsfw/vulgar so I can click over to a sanitized and presentable list if I need to.
Thanks for checking out my very verbose kandi debut! Let me know what you think!

🔗Tough Vault Takedown Rifle & Shotgun Case by Pelican


https://preview.redd.it/l69nvoqc2q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65472489ec43a2398e0897086b53c1fa1e5d2afc
I recently discovered the Pelican V700 Vault Takedown Rifle and Shotgun Case, and it's truly a game changer for transportation of your beloved firearms. As an avid hunter, I appreciate that this case provides a high level of security, offering crushproof, dustproof, and weather resistant protection. The sturdy handles ensure your rifles or shotguns can withstand even the toughest conditions on your hunting trips.
One feature I particularly love is the presence of six push button latches that offer secure closure with easy-open access. This ensures your weapons are safe and secure while also making it convenient for you to access them when needed. The case also comes with specific foam designed to fit takedown firearms and related accessories, providing your gear with excellent protection during transportation.
However, like any product, there are some cons as well. The case is quite bulky and heavy, making it less ideal for those looking for a lightweight solution. Additionally, cutting and shaping the foam to fit your specific equipment can be time-consuming. Overall, despite its drawbacks, I would highly recommend this gun case to anyone in need of a reliable and resilient transportation solution for their takedown firearms.

🔗Durable, Crushproof Double Rifle Case


https://preview.redd.it/ry47455d2q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=450f6b4f8104be437bdb95e43cf6a77bbd54e1b4
I recently had the chance to use the Pelican V800 Vault Double Rifle Case in tan, and I must say it's been a game-changer in keeping my firearms safe and secure. The high-impact polymer exterior is not only incredibly durable but also has a sleek, modern look that I absolutely love.
One of the standout features for me is the customizable protective foam lining the interior. Having a secure fit for my rifles is so important, and this case makes it easy to create that level of protection. Plus, the added benefit of being crushproof, dustproof, and weather-resistant gives me peace of mind when traveling with my gear.
However, cutting the foam to fit my rifles exactly was a bit time-consuming and messy. It would have been nice if the case came with "pluck" foam, like some other brands offer, to make customization easier and less stressful.
In terms of ease of use, the handles are ergonomic and sturdy, making it comfortable to carry even when the case is fully loaded with scoped rifles. The wheels are also a great addition for those times when you need to roll your gear instead of lifting it.
Overall, the Pelican V800 Vault Double Rifle Case has been an excellent investment for keeping my firearms protected during transport. Its combination of durability, security features, and customizable foam make it a top choice for anyone in need of a high-quality rifle case.

🔗55" American Classic Double Rifle Case


https://preview.redd.it/efuo87md2q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97b838a4cef06e4c9a4cdcd42b6193e700d9c493
My experience with the Savior Equipment American Classic Double Rifle Case has been quite remarkable. As someone who frequently visits the range, this case has been a game-changer for me. Its tactical design not only looks great but also provides an unmatched level of functionality.
One of the most standout features of this case is its spaciousness. It comfortably holds two rifles and even has additional pocket compartments to keep your belongings organized and secure. The internal padding ensures that your firearms are protected during transport, giving you peace of mind.
Another unique feature is the presence of lockable zipper sliders on both firearm compartments. This not only adds an extra layer of security but also makes it incredibly safe to carry around your weapons. The padded muzzle and stock sleeves further enhance the overall protection offered by this case.
However, there's room for improvement as well. The case can become quite heavy when loaded with its full capacity, which might be challenging for some individuals to carry around. Additionally, although the molle webbing compatibility adds versatility, it might not suit everyone's preferences.
In conclusion, the Savior Equipment American Classic Double Rifle Case has been an excellent companion on my trips to the range. Its robustness, capacity, and secure zippers make it a top choice for gun enthusiasts. Despite its weight and specific design choices, this case undoubtedly delivers on its promise of keeping your firearms safe and secure.

🔗Ultimate Guitar Rifle Case for Discreet Transport

I've been using the Savior Equipment Ultimate Guitar Rifle Case to keep my rifle safe and secure during transportation. This case has been a lifesaver, providing discreet protection that doesn't draw unwanted attention. One of the best features is the fully customizable foam inserts that let me configure the case to fit my specific gear perfectly. With three inserts included, I can easily switch between two different layouts depending on the trip.
The high-impact polymer outer shell and enclosed wheels make it easy to transport my rifle without any hassle. The six lock-ready latches add an extra layer of security, giving me peace of mind when traveling with my firearm. The only downside I've noticed is the need to purchase locks separately, but overall, I couldn't be happier with my investment in this case.

🔗Durable, Weatherproof Tactical Rifle Case with Wheels


https://preview.redd.it/4i8bqe7e2q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60a59110bcf624c07972c19519fcaf8d3cf45a10
I recently purchased the RPNB Weatherproof Tactical Rifle Case with Wheels and Customizable Cubed Foam, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This rugged hard case was a perfect choice for my shooting excursions, offering not only exceptional protection but also convenience with its rolling feature.
The first thing that stood out to me was the IP67 rating, which ensures that the case is both watertight and dustproof. No matter where I take my rifle, I know that it's safe and secure inside the case. Another feature that I really appreciated was the adjustable pressure relief valve, which makes opening the case a breeze after changing elevations.
Additionally, the pre-drilled holes for two padlocks provide extra security, giving me peace of mind when I'm storing my firearms. The pick-and-pull foam insert is another highlight, as it effectively absorbs impact and protects my gear from any damage that might occur during transport.
The only downside I've encountered is that the case can be a bit cumbersome to carry, but this is easily offset by the rolling feature. Plus, the fact that it meets TSA and airline requirements means I can easily take it with me on trips or to the range.
In conclusion, the RPNB Weatherproof Tactical Rifle Case with Wheels is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and secure way to transport their rifles and shotguns.

🔗High-Quality Gun Case with 52" Capacity


https://preview.redd.it/8lny9vre2q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02debc75fd14d363db2e0aab9b5bd6e2d62b7446
I've been using the Kolpin 52" Gun Case for my shotguns and it has been a game-changer. The divided interior pocket is perfect for keeping my scoped rifles or shotguns organized and well-protected. The case is made of water and dust-resistant ballistic fabrics, which I love because it keeps my hunters safe from the elements. The thick padded construction also offers additional peace of mind, knowing that my rifles are securely nestled within.
One of my favorite features of this case is the two large exterior gear storage pockets. They're perfect for storing ammo, cleaning kits, and other essentials, all within easy reach. The quick-release mounting straps are another huge plus, as they enable me to secure the case to the roll cage of my UTV with ease. Plus, I can quickly remove it and use it as a carrying case, making transporting my rifles hassle-free.
However, one minor inconvenience is the strapping method required to attach it to the roll cage. It took some time to figure out and wasn't the most convenient method. Nevertheless, the overall quality and fit more than make up for this minor drawback. I've been extremely satisfied with this case and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and well-built gun case.

🔗Customizable Covert Rifle Case by Savior Equipment


https://preview.redd.it/xfzcsbye2q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4eb7d94b19a2496c141749c347876bb9d61de15e
As someone who's had a fair share of close calls while carrying my gear, the Savior Equipment Specialist Covert Rifle Case has been a game-changer. I remember one rainy day when I was caught unprepared, and the thought of how the situation could have been avoided with this case kept lingering in my mind.
The case has a padded single rifle compartment that provides excellent protection for my cherished gear, and the rigid hook & loop lockdown straps ensure it stays secure. What I love most about this case is its ability to be customized - the adjustable muzzle holder and full-length removable padded divider help me organize my cargo more efficiently.
On longer hauls, the concealed backpack straps provide added comfort, and the exterior accessory pockets offer ample space for any additional necessities. Plus, the concealed pocket with loop panel for holster concealment adds an extra layer of convenience that I appreciate.
The only downside I've found is that the case can be bulky to carry at times, especially when it's fully loaded with all my gear. However, this is a small price to pay for the uncompromised protection and versatility it provides.
All in all, the Savior Equipment Specialist Covert Rifle Case has been a reliable companion that goes above and beyond to keep my essentials safe and accessible. Highly recommended!

🔗Specialist Covert Discreet Rifle Case for Professionals

As a seasoned professional, I always value the importance of discretion and precision in any tool I use. That's why when I tried the Savior Equipment Specialist Covert Rifle Case, I was immediately drawn to its sleek design and customizable features.
The first thing that caught my attention was the muted cover. It's like a whisper in a room full of noise, ensuring that my presence remains unnoticed. Once inside, I discovered an endless array of options to build the case according to my exact needs.
While the dimensions are not overly impressive, they were precisely the right size for my purposes. The external height of 5 inches and external length of 30 inches provided a perfect fit for my rifle, while the 3 inches of internal height and 12.5 inches of internal width provided ample space and protection.
However, there was one feature that I wish was more user-friendly. The screws used to secure the components were not the easiest to handle, especially when in a rush. Nonetheless, the level of customization and quality craftsmanship outweighed this minor inconvenience.
Overall, the Savior Equipment Specialist Covert Rifle Case proved to be a reliable companion on my missions. Its discreet design and customizable features made it an essential tool for any professional.

They offer a range of features, making them suitable for various shooting purposes while ensuring the firearm remains protected and secure. In this buyer's guide, we will discuss the essential factors to consider when purchasing a coffin gun case and provide general advice to help you make an informed decision.

Size and Length of the Firearm

First and foremost, you need to consider the size and length of your firearm when choosing a coffin gun case. Measure your shotgun or rifle to determine the correct size. Manufacturers usually state the maximum length of firearms that their cases can accommodate. Make sure to select a case that can hold your firearm snugly without any movement to ensure its protection during transportation.

Materials and Construction

The materials and construction of a coffin gun case are crucial factors to consider. A well-built case should provide excellent protection against impact, moisture, and dust. Look for cases made of durable materials such as high-density foam, ABS plastic, or a combination of both. These materials offer good shock absorption and water resistance, ensuring that your firearm remains protected even during rough handling or exposure to harsh environments.

Security Features

For those who need extra security for their firearms, consider purchasing a coffin gun case with security features such as locks and latches. This will prevent unauthorized access and ensure that your firearm remains protected.

Design and Ergonomics

Ergonomics are essential when it comes to coffin gun cases. Look for cases that feature a comfortable and user-friendly design, allowing you to easily carry and maneuver your firearm. This includes features like well-padded handles, shoulder straps, or a sturdy and lightweight frame that doesn't limit your movement.

Price and Budget

Finally, consider your budget when purchasing a coffin gun case. High-quality cases come at a higher price, but they also offer better protection and features. However, there are many affordable options available, so you can find a case that fits your needs and budget without compromising on essential features.
When buying a coffin gun case, remember to take your time to research and compare different models to ensure that you are getting the best value for your money. With the right case, you can transport and store your long firearms safely and efficiently for years to come.

2024.05.21 07:10 Stanley232323 Daily Community Tiering Post Day 34: "So anyway, I started Blast'-ing." It's Blastoise/Mega Blastoise/Dynamax Blastoise!

Hello again everybody!
Before we get started on today's post the current voting for Alolan-Decidueye currently has B tier votes in a battle with the Abstaining votes. While doing these next few votes in an effort to get through all the traditional starters unless Abstaining votes end up winning out by a decisive margin (like twice as many as the most votes for any single tier) we will tier the Pokemon into the tier that has the highest amount of votes as opposed to putting them off until later.
So with that being said we will put Alolan-Decidueye into B tier for the time being. Like with all previous votes I'll continue to check the numbers and if anything changes I'll update it on tomorrow's post.
(Please note that this voting/tiering is centered around Classic as after a certain point in Endless only about 5 Pokemon and 2 abilities are truly viable.)
So current tiers are:
S tier - Garganacl, Cloyster, Skeledirge, Gholdengo, Tinkaton
A tier - Gyarados/Mega, VenusauMega/Dyna, Aegislash, Corviknight/Dyna, Excadrill, GardevoiMega, Toxapex, ScizoMega, GengaMega/Dyna, Delphox
B tier - Kanto-Persian/Dynamax Kanto-Meowth, Weavile, Starmie, Rhyperior, Quagsire, Mamoswine, Whimsicott, Aggron/Mega, Infernape, Alolan-Decidueye
C tier - Linoone
F tier - Dustox
With that being said let's get to today's vote!
Today is day 34 of tier voting and today we begin the gauntlet of getting through the rest of the traditional starters that we haven't voted on yet (for the moment we will skip over Charizard, as well as Greninja and Meowscarada since they have abilities that aren't yet implemented which will likely effect how well they do in the game). So that brings us to Blastoise as well as its Mega and Dynamax Evolved forms! Blastoise is the bulkiest of the Gen 1 starters at the tradeoff of having the worst attacking stats out of the 3. This combines well with being a pure Water type as Water only has 2 weaknesses and 4 resistances giving it good survivability even in its base form. Its Hidden Ability is somewhat niche but good on a Rain team or when trekking through the game's various Water-based biomes. All 3 of its forms are a bit slow but it is able to remedy this through natural access to one of the best boosting moves in the game in Shell Smash. Its Mega form greatly improves its mediocre attacking stats and also boosts its already good bulk even further while it's Dynamax form goes the full-on bulky wall route while also boosting its attack stats somewhat. It has a very good movepool for its Mega form, made even better by the addition of this game's Egg Move choices for it. Its Passive Ability is somewhat famous in Endless but maybe a little more situational in Classic mode (which is what these votes are centered around), it does allow it to guarantee a Shell Smash and survive however which is always useful in its own right.
(Please note that Pokemon with Mega/Dynamax evolutions will be tiered as one Pokemon and not tiered separately for their Mega/Dynamax form. Different variants such as Alolan Persian vs. Kanto Persian will be tiered separately however.)
(Also here is the post with rules for voting/tiering posts and a little more explanation about them in general: https://www.reddit.com/pokerogue/s/0LNZhPPzR9 Links to past votes can all be found here as well in comments added to the OP with each new vote)
And here is a quick reminder of what each tier generally means:
S tier: Top tier, can make or break your entire run, essentially the cream of the crop
A tier: really strong but not quite top tier, maybe slightly outclassed or has a slight weakness holding it back
B tier: solid choices that can make it to your endgame team, might be reliant on team composition to truly function well or might just be outclassed as well
C tier: usually early-mid game Mons, ones you don't really want to take to end game if you can avoid it, usually pretty decently glaring weakness but something redeeming enough to keep from F tier
F tier: no reason to use in end game unless you're doing it for a meme/joke
Abstain/No Opinion: this will be a voting option mostly just for Pokemon people haven't unlocked/used to their full potential yet. If Abstaining votes outvote each individual tier then the Pokemon will be tabled for the time being and another vote will open up for it later (can mostly see this happening with Legendaries).

The Hornady RAPiD Safe Night Guard is an impressive blend of style and security. I've been using it for a while now, and I must say I am quite impressed with the product. The tempered glass front panel is sleek and elegant, complementing any bedroom decor.
The patented RFID technology is definitely a game-changer. I love being able to unlock the safe without even touching it, which is ideal when you're in a dark room and don't want to fumble around for your keys or access code. The 4 included RFID tags make it quick and easy to program the safe to open for you and your family.
One of the features that really stands out to me is the two USB-A ports for charging my devices. It's incredibly handy to have a place to charge my phone or other gadgets right next to my bed.
On the downside, I do wish the RFID reader and keypad were a bit more discreet. They're still functional, but they're quite prominent on the front panel. It would be nice if they were hidden away a bit more.
The heavy duty exterior housing and hardened interior locking lugs are a great feature, ensuring that the safe is built to last. However, I do wish there was a bit more padding on the interior for the items inside to prevent any potential scratches or damages.
Overall, I am quite satisfied with the Hornady RAPiD Safe Night Guard. It's a fantastic bedside safe that offers quick and easy access, as well as a place to charge your devices. Definitely worth the investment!

As a gun enthusiast, I recently gave the Hornady Rapid Safe Shotgun by RFID a try in my home. The first thing that stood out to me was its slim design, allowing me to easily store it in tight spaces. However, I wasn't impressed with its small size, as it could only fit my shotgun sideways, making it quite cramped.
One of the unique features of this safe is its RFID technology, which provides touch-free entry using an RFID-enabled wristband, key fob, or sticker. I thought it was pretty cool to be able to unlock the safe with a simple wave of my hand, although it would be even better if it had a backup option in case the batteries ran out.
The construction of the safe appeared solid, with the exterior housing made of 14-gauge steel and two internal hardened locking lugs. However, I found the touch-free entry to be quite loud, which might not be ideal for people who value discretion.
Installation was a breeze, thanks to the pre-drilled mounting holes. I was able to easily install the safe in both horizontal and vertical positions, making it versatile for various storage locations. The fact that it exceeds ASTM International safety standards for child and pry resistance was also a comforting feature.
Overall, the Hornady Rapid Safe Shotgun with RFID has its pros and cons.

This added layer of security has given me the peace of mind I've been looking for.
However, it's not all perfect with this product. The only issue I've encountered so far is its size. The safe can hold up to two handguns, but for someone like me who also needs to store ammo and other accessories, it can get a little cramped inside. But this is a minor concern, especially when comparing to the numerous benefits this product offers.
In conclusion, the Stalwart Biometric Desk Mount Gun Safe has been an invaluable addition to my home.

The sleek black clock blends seamlessly into any room, and the hidden compartments are cleverly concealed behind the clock face. The hidden compartments can hold an assortment of items, from firearms to personal belongings, providing secure storage in plain sight.
One of the key features that I love about this clock is its magnetic lock. It ensures that the compartments stay securely closed, providing peace of mind knowing that my valuables are safe. However, the lock can be a bit tricky to operate at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature.
While I've had a great experience with this Tactical Walls Clock, there are a couple of cons to mention. The first is the size of the clock face, which is a bit smaller than expected. It might not be the best choice for those who are visually impaired or have difficulty seeing small objects.
Another downside is the durability of the product. The clock face and compartments are made of thin plastic, which can be a bit concerning for those who expect a more robust design. I've also noticed that the Velcro holding the clock face in place seems a bit weak, which might result in the clock face coming loose over time.
In conclusion, the Tactical Walls 1410M Clock Standard - Black is a stylish and functional storage solution for those who value both aesthetics and practicality. Despite the small drawbacks, I've had a positive experience with the product and would recommend it to others seeking concealed storage options for their valuable items.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Hornady Rapid Safe Compact Ready Vault with WiFi, and it exceeded my expectations in both convenience and security. The built-in RFID technology allowed for lightning-fast access, and the compatibility with the RFID bracelet and key made it even more convenient. However, the heavy-duty steel construction and hardened steel locking mechanism provided unparalleled protection against unauthorized users.
One of the highlights of this product was the user-programmable keypad, which allowed for personalized security codes to be input. Additionally, the SQUARE-LOK organizing system made it easy to store and access my firearms and other essentials.

Sorry if this story gets haywire... Its a few years old story...
I met a guy online.. We got to know each other, and since we were kind of far apart. We decided to hold the meet up.
I got to know him better and talking to him became a routine. He knows my work schedule, I know his. He will ask me to accompany him on his shifts with video calls or normal calls. I would fall asleep ASAP tho. He knows my family, I know his. He greets me when am home, with texts.
Since I am a teacher, I told him about how my students will question if I have a bf or not. He told me to use his picture as a barrier.. I gladly (Since I had a HUGE crush on him) put him as my wallpaper.
Nevertheless, he was comfort zone at the time BUT we were just friends.
So one day, we decided to meet up . I am quite religious I daresay, but he isn't. On the day we met, he changed some of his attire. I know he has a favourite bracelet and he wears short pants a lot. Like long pants and no bracelets which is kinda forbidden for men in my religion. He is also an avid smoker, he can smoke up to a wholeee box in one day. The whole day we hung out, he only smoked 1 and a half cigarettes.
Something bugged me at the time tho, I took it as a 'red Flag' tho.. He took out his simcard and phone battery at lunch.. I asked him why, he said he wanted to reset his phone.. Its like a routine for him weekly. But I meam, who does it in publiccc! Wouldn't u be scared of losing it? Or misplacing it???
Well, as a fat girl who has zero interest in sports and health, I hatee walking with a passion. Like a 10 min walk will make me complain for the next 24 hours, but with him I walked the wholeee KL, from one place to another for 5 hours !! Surely I was blind! But i was having so much fun for once (Can you tell I was lonely before 🤣🤣)
Well, we went home, seperately. I went home by grab, he demanded I call him all the way and we did.
Well, we continued the same routine and got to know each other much more intimately and I decided to break the ice and confess.. 😁
He only replied "I am sorry". And the next thing I knew he posted a video of a woman, telling him "I love you his name "
The 1 year routine died then and there... I couldn't bring myself to text him or say congratulations ...
He will be in contact with me every 6 months to tell me he still misses me.. And says the day we went out was a date to him. And he will even say he likes me.. The thing is, he is still with his gf 😊.
It has been more or less 7 years.. Now, the 6 months routine still hasn't ended.
Was it my fault for being too late? Or was i being led on?

2024.05.21 05:43 certifiedhotmess1 I (26F) am crushing hard on my coworker(30M) and need advice on how to flirt respectfully in the office...but first, is he just a nice guy or am I overanalyzing?

I'd like to start by saying, yes I know work relationships are not often a good idea.
However, I'm (26F & single) looking to move along in the near future and Tray (30M & single) is in a completely separate department than me. We initially met when he moved back up to the area to shift to hybrid scheduling compared to online. I overheard him mention moving to help take care of family and based on the circumstance I actually relate due to having been in a similar situation with family in the past. Honestly it was one of the first things that got my attention because it showed his compassion.
Tray is in office about 5 days out of the month, which has been happening for about 10 months. In that time I've found him to obviously be attractive, but also really smart and kind. He's super chatty and very outgoing. We both went after similar careers (not necessarily where we work, but degree wise). He went to school down by my hometown and my friends actually knew of him because he was a graduated celebrity their Freshman year. Anyway, since he came back to the office, I have lost 40 lbs and have been working on myself a significant bit. I only mention this because I tend to be self conscious especially around men I have a crush on and it has made a huge improvement on this aspect.
Around February I got placed on a project that led me to contacting him to help with a piece. From there he actually recruited me for a personal project of his. I may have pulled a couple strings to get this added to my to do list right away so no one else would get assigned the project if he were to go through my team's normal channels. I really went out of my comfort zone doing this so that I would force myself to actually converse with him and not just be a wallflower destined to go unnoticed.
We have met every once in a while for his project in which it took a bit of time for us to get away from work specific talk, well me more than him. I even have been forcing myself to approach him with project related accomplishments while he is in office, pulling up a chair and showing him the progress. I'm not good at reading people and super overanalyze (I have a touch of the tism mixed with being a hopeless romantic) so this is where I need advice:
I swear when I pull up a chair he gets really close and I've been really forcing myself to maintain eye contact even though I know it makes me blush really bad. Every time I show him my progress, he complements me by saying things like "I'm so old and out of touch, it'd take me years to learn how to do that" or "that is so cool you can do that" and other things like that to which I always thank him and mention that it's all pretty new to me - he could easily learn these things. One day when I stopped to talk to him, one of my older teammates stood up like normal to join my conversation, but watched questioningly then slowly sat down (his cube was right next to Tray's) even though I had smiled at him to let him know he could join.
He has accidentally asked about the project by contacting the wrong member of our team, our names are very similar, think "Ashton" and "Ashley". What struck me is he's the only person at work who has ever apologized for doing it and followed up the next time by joking as he came in by saying "Good morning, Ashley. I won't let that happen again". I even go over and start conversations with fun life stuff and then go into the fake work question (because I can't just be friendly if I like him...my brain is broken lol). I may have read this wrong, but he seemed slightly disappointed when I brought up our project last time. Maybe that's because his piece needs done or I misread.
Today on my way to a conference room he actually turned around to say good morning and start up a conversation (normally I walk up when I want to talk and I normally have to get his attention. But he ended the conversation fairly quick too. It felt pretty normal and I'd say we have a good flow considering we both make each other laugh, but compared to long conversations he had with two of our coworkers, I wish I could get past my own walls to actually ask him about his life without feeling like I'm prying or going to get called to HR.
I have never been one of the girls who gets flirted with often and I will say I do have some rejection issues, but I have been really trying to put myself out there. But I am conventionally pretty and curvier, granted I am working on my health currently. I get a lot of compliments from elderly people on how "beautiful" I am...so I'm not some monster seeking love. I was slightly concerned that it might be a turn off considering he's into lifting, but he has such a big heart, I kind of let that negativity go. Not that it still can't be true that I'm not his cup of tea.
For advice, does any of this sound like he might be interested at all or am I hugely over analyzing and need to cut this crush off at the knees? Or if there hope for me, how do I flirt with him subtly in the office? Likewise, I am interviewing at other companies currently, if I were to move on, any advice on how to give him my number before I leave would be helpful too.
I appreciate any/all advice you can give.
Best,
Chronically Single and Crushing
P.S. so sorry if this is the wrong space, I am very new to Reddit.

2024.05.21 04:33 angeldust-22269 i wanna go to the trilogy tour so badly but the date was changed for dallas

i can’t go to the trilogy tour because the date was changed for dallas, and my dad has work on the date for houston 😭🙏 but i’m also going to a bunch of states on the east side of america, so there’s a chance i might go in another state, but i’ll also be super tired physically and mentally because of the long ass trip in general.
i’m only gonna be going with my mom who doesn’t know how to drive, so my dad will have to drive us there and then go back to the hotel to take care of my brother (who’s young which is why he can’t go) and then he’ll have to pick us back up after the concert is over, which is kinda a hard thing to do, especially since he has work online. my parents really do wanna take me since i’m always on my phone and shit, but the circumstances aren’t circumstancing
i heard that everyone who’s going to the tour is gonna wear jewelry with a mushroom on it, so i’m still gonna make a bracelet with a mushroom charm on it just in case i go lmao

2024.05.21 03:31 embraceproductivity Feeling like I got played (long post)

I (28M) have known this woman, lets call her K (20F), for two years. We met online, and over-time she became my best friend. She was persistent at asking me to date and be exclusive but I did not want to partake in any long distance relationship and made it clear that I won't date if there's distance involved, and we stayed as best friends with benefits for a while. She also confessed her feelings to me a few months after knowing me.
About 4-5 months ago, she told me she's coming to spend the entire summer with me, I got really excited as it was the first time I'll see her, and she also told me she's about to start preparing for moving permanently. I decided that is sufficient for us to go exclusive as we'll close the distance. I asked for her instagram but she told me she doesn't have one and I believed her at the time.
As soon as we went exclusive (and shortly before then by about a month), she started being distant -- only responding to texts every 1-2 weeks. The longest was 3 weeks. For the 3-weeks delay part, she mentioned that she just had appendix removal surgery and had complications, she refused to video call saying that its in night hours. Her first message to me was
"I'm hospitalized"
"I'm so sorry"
"I'm so so sorry".
This was around 3 AM my time at eastern Canada, while she's in California. Thankfully I woke up and saw it immediately, if I didn't i'd probably honestly be panicking when I woke up as I doubt she would've responded at all for a couple of days again.
In other times where she goes away for weeks without a response she'd usually come back saying she was depressed or simply provide no reason at all.
She also would say stuff like "she loves me more than I know" and even told me she sees herself marrying me less than a month ago.
About 2 months after becoming exclusive, she came to me and told me that her friend "Zachary" got her a bracelet that says "Zachary's Cumslut", and she asserted that Zachary is a girl and even said that's a weird name for a girl. She asked me if she can keep it, I thought about it for a day and told her she can't.
Fast forward to 2 and a half weeks ago, we were video calling and I wanted to show her something in my Instagram profile. She opened it and the next day I noticed she showed up in my suggested list. I confronted her about it telling her that's her profile. Before even responding to my text -- where I asked her to call as there's something bothering me -- she straight up blocked my instagram account and said "What's up?" acting like she doesn't know what's going on. I explained to her that she blocked my instagram account and that we should call about this ASAP.
She refused to call and told me she didn't block my account and hasn't logged into her accounts in months and doesn't use it. I checked with my other instagram account and noticed she did block me, I showed her proof and told her you did block me. She blocked my second account and told me she just "deleted her account".
I got my friend to check and her account was still up...
At this point, I genuinely started panicking. I was still being respectful, I didn't curse her out, say any bad words. I said 'has this all been fake, have I been played?" and she was telling me she didn't block me, she didn't play me, i'm the only one she ever wanted...
I told her I really wanna believe you but I can't when there's proof in front of me. After a while of texting back and forth she confessed to blocking me and said its because she gets death threats, but that didn't make sense to me, so I pushed more and she said its because she's scared. I asked her scared of what? You literally said you are coming to spend the summer with me, and we know everything about each other -- names, life, etc.
At this point, she stopped responding. I further started panicking and after a number of time of her not responding I said things like "For any serious relationship, the two most important things are communication and trust, and I'm losing trust here." The longer you take to answer, the more resentful I get. I also told her that what's going on here is most likely you are hiding something from me, or hiding me from someone, and that at this point I'd need to see everything in your instagram account as well as be able to follow it.
After a couple of hours I told her I think you've been manipulating me into loving you. No response from what I remember. I tried to sleep.
24 hours passed no response, I told her I'm giving you one more night to explain yourself and come clean.
No response in another 24 hours, so I told her that I'm assuming this is over. No response for another 24h.
I googled her instagram username and found a NSFW account that seems to be hers, and the name starts with A, I recalled that when she dissapeared for 3 weeks and I called her college to do a wellness check, gave them her first name, starting with K, and her last name, they told me that student doesn't exist in their system, which started to make more sense.
However, I still loved her heavily, so I still wanted to understand why she's doing this and maybe see if its salvageable at the time. So i told her that I'm calmer and we can talk about it tonight.
But I was also so curious about what's going on, I knew of a particular person who happens to follow her, and asked him if she's acting in instagram as well as if there's any signs of cheating.
in her bio, it says she's taken, and her picture is a picture from 1-2 years ago with her wearing a padlock around her neck. She posted a story of her singing and her insta status said "LET'S GET MATCHING TATTOOS", honestly that blows my mind that she's willing to do things like that when we are going through a serious problem at the time.
I remembered the Zachary bracelet thing so I told him to look if there's any Zach's she's following. She happened to follow two, one of them didn't seem to be the guy, the other one was much more obvious -- he had a Heart, the letter A, and a Padlock next to it. She also showed in one of his posts around the time we were exclusive.
I texted the guy letting him know my situation and tried to be respectful. He was acting shady, told me they dated two years ago and are "still talking", then he dissapears for 40 minutes, comes back with different answers to my questions (I started thinking its likely her texting at this point), saying they didn't date etc before, then changing the answers.
I talked about the heart and the padlock, he said it was his grandma (I don't really believe that given that A is the same starting letter as her name from her NSFW account which is likely her real first name). I asked him not to inform her that I texted him because I didn't wanna put more strain into the situation, he proceeds to tell her, she calls me a few hours later, she sounded very different in the way she talked and started telling me she lost all trust in me, that I went behind her back by telling her friend not to tell her. I told her that she wasn't communicating at all and she refused that, and I told her she kept blocking me instagram and she refused that too telling me she didn't block me. I pointed out she confessed to blocking me then she said "So what!! You can have your own private account and I can have my own" I told her that's not the point, the point is you lied and kept lying about it. She hung up, and started texting me that she's done, then she started trying to turn the whole thing against me.
She started telling me that I severely hurt her and so on. I fell for it and started feeling really bad and apologized, I still wanted to make it work at the time. She kept going on completely disregarded my feelings and made it all about her. In the end she told me she doesn't want to hear from me again.
I really think I've been played, but I also think she might've been trying to double date. At some points she told me I'll love seeing her friends, and that she wants to post my picture in her social (in the future), but she didn't say what social. I also never met any of her friends (she never introduced me to any of them).
So in conclusion: I've been lied to, gaslit, love-bombed. Those are all things I'm certain of. The rest I'm not sure of beyond reasonable doubt (100%), but are quite likely. I don't really know what I want out of this post, other than I guess to get confirmation whether I've been played or not, as well as really just how much of this was real. The gaslighting might've messed with my mind for a while.

2024.05.21 03:21 Senior-Judgment3703 Social media then vs now

I have some insecurities over the fact that my husband doesn’t post anything about ours baby to social media. With SD6 he had a whole instagram page for her. He would post almost daily and would follow her around with a camera posting stories multiple times per day. There were videos of him and BM and SD going to playgrounds, beaches, pumpkin picking, parties, weddings, and indoor play spaces plus pictures of SD and BM with captions like “I love my mama”
Fast forward to now. There is only one photo of OB that he posted on his instagram it’s in his highlighted stories. He takes pics of her here and there but rarely photos of me with her and even more rare are selfies with the 3 of us. Most my photos I have with my baby are because my older daughter takes them unprompted because she knows how I mourn the fact that there are so few pictures with me in them from when she was little so she goes the extra mile. Another issue is we don’t do anything. He works constantly and I am always alone with the baby (or the baby and all the kids). He has only ever gone to the park or story time with us once. We have never had a vacation not even a weekend away locally. He didn’t take a pic of me with the baby or kids for Mother’s Day (he did get me a bracelet but again he was away all day for work.)
It’s hard to feel like he is excited about our family or this baby when the difference is so striking. I get embarrassed sometimes thinking how it looks to people on the outside like his family and friends who see that he doesn’t post anything about me or OB. Even his best friend didn’t even know we were pregnant or that OB existed until she was 3 months old. It really hurts my feelings and makes me think he favors his first family and that he was so proud to be a dad and celebrate all the firsts with his first child but now it’s old news and me and OB get the short end of the stick.

2024.05.21 03:12 Accomplished-Sail583 23 [M4F] #US/FL/online: what if we did something funny like skip the small talk and started “dating”?🤪

Hey! I’m a 23y/o soon-to-be college graduate! I’m here looking for someone to form a good genuine connection with. I attend school in FL, so it’d be nice to meet ppl in FL but idc where you are as long as the connection we make is good :)
Some of my interests consists of playing video games (just got a pc so I’ll take any recommendations), listening to music, watching/playing basketball, and photography/videography. I hope one day to share these interests with you! (I know my interests are very vague but we can get to know each other more in DM’s)
I would describe myself as an introverted extrovert. I speak Spanish. I’m pretty Athletic. I’m funny conversationally. And I know how to solve a Rubik’s cube in about a minute or less
My looks: I have wavy black hair, brown eyes, some piercings, some tattoos, and I have a pretty average build
I want to find someone who’s as interested in me as much as I am in them. I’m a very flirtatious guy, so I’m kinda hoping you are too. I’m looking for that flirtationship to lovers type vibe. I would eventually like to know what you look like because I believe physical attraction is as important as much as emotional attraction. also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help carry a conversation. Im a pretty busy person but if you show me that you ACTUALLY like talking to me and I see the effort, I will always ALWAYS make time for you. Communication is super big for me so I’ll always say how I feel and what I think. At the end of the day I just want someone I can talk to about my day and have a really good conversation (can be a call too!) Also THIS doesn’t have to be a romantic relationship, I’m also down to have platonic relationships too. Make sure your intentions are clear from the beginning! Emotional maturity is always attractive!❤️‍🔥
(Don’t just say “hey” or “hi” tell me a juicy secret or something. If this interests you send me a brief intro and a selfie. Prob won’t respond if you’re response is low effort…🫣)
Alright love you bye (say it back pls 🔫)

2024.05.21 03:08 Due-Sun-4515 What should I(F18) do with my LDR(M20) ?

Hi everyone! It’s the first time I’m posting on Reddit so I don’t really know how it works.. I need some advice/help about my long distance relationship.
He is a cis male who’s 20 (almost 21). I am a cis female who’s 18 (almost 19).
We live about 600km away from each other, but we live in the same country. We both live with our respective families.
So to make context, we’ve met each other on discord via a server etc in 2018.. and honestly I thought we matched well, I mean we got along extremely well as friends. We had a fight after one year of friendship where we blocked each other.
One year passed by (we are now in 2020) and we got in touch again! Because I kind of missed him and he was like one of my friends who got along with me the best (we had a common friend and we’ve stopped to block each other). After reconnecting with him, about 2 years went by (now in 2022) and I started to catch romantic feelings for him. I didn’t tell him, and he’s naturally a flirty guy, so flirting with him and subtly telling him flirty stuff, that I genuinely thought, was easy. I never really saw his face at that time, only parts of his body, like hands, legs etc.. but never his face. In July 2022, I decided to tell him how I felt after telling my friends about our relationship (they knew him from discord servers in 2018). One of my friends told me to tell him about my feelings because, when they read our convos that I sent them, they felt like he had feelings for me too. So I tell him everything, because that day I felt a bit angry that he didn’t really care about leaving me on read for a few hours… (won’t go into details) I told him everything and we had a fight,, he told me he didn’t like me back and that he saw me more like a little sister and stuff. I kind of accepted it at first but I got too nervous(?) that I started to say stuff that made nonsense and he just got angry back. We made up the following day..
Time goes by and we’re now in December 2022, we still had the same relationship as before, even when I thought it’ll never be the same after telling him my feelings, but he was okay with it. I believe the relationship was better and he was genuinely more flirty. Btw we saw each other faces! As new year comes, he tells me at night at exactly 1am right after celebrating the new year, he asks me if I wanted to become his girlfriend. And I never felt so happy and obviously said yes, even when I told him that I hesitated because I wanted to meet him irl first.. It was somehow overwhelming but I never slept THAT GOOD before. Months goes by, yk couple stuff sometimes we argued but it’s okay never went too wrong, we’d call each other too.
July 2023, we argued, I can’t really remember about what but that time I went too far, telling him that maybe we were better not together. So he made me a whole paragraph about how he felt, that he has never really liked me and how he felt wasn’t love like how I felt… to be honest that is the only thing I can remember. I remember pleading him so much after that, crying my eyes out and telling my sibling about what happened with him. I never felt that bad, my first heartbreak. I felt so stupid thinking that I believed he liked me back… and honestly I don’t know… it felt like he liked me? He made so much effort in so many things and was the kindest and most understanding person at that time. I don’t know how it went wrong. I told him, we could never ever be friends again after what we went through, but for him it was still okay. I didn’t speak to him for days, but we mostly still had talks daily.
Months went by, some days were okay we had a good friendship, almost besties I could say, some days just went wrong and so we wouldn’t talk for days (especially me) but he’d still try to reach out by modifying his last text asking if I’m still here, if I’m doing okay and if it’s a farewell then he hopes that I’d live a good life(he’d do that during many days, for instance : if we didn’t talk for one week he’d write something on day 2, then another thing on day 4 etc). I decided to send him a letter and a bracelet (in Feb 2024) I made for him when we were still together that I didn’t dare to send him at that time, at that moment we kind of reconnected(?) He was more sweet and probably thankful, I believe. We genuinely got along very very well, and I kind of believed we still had something yk? Somehow we started to see each other even more (by that i mean we saw every part of our body), he kind of got more gentle? I think we just got a bit more intimate than we were before so I genuinely thought that maybe that time was the right one. Our relationship was not really defined, it was hard to tell what we were. I told him, after a month, that I would come and see him during summer vacation and he was a bit worried about the cost and stuff since he didn’t really want me to meet his family (he has a bad relationship with them, so he never makes his family meet his friends and vice versa). So he thought about the cost of the trip, the food, the stay, what I’ll do if I come, etc.. Honestly, at first the idea didn’t seem to delight him, but I believe he was especially worried about how much I’d spend only to see him. When I decided that, I felt like that even If I’d lose him, at least I would have met him once, that I know how he is in real life. At the end, he was okay with the idea and seemed pretty joyful about it !
Months went by, (May 2024) we argued. (I am a very sensitive person so I cry when I feel too much and I cry VERY easily, so when we argue I’d usually cry, but I’d do that with everyone I argue with.. On the other hand, he is not very empathetic and almost never cries ). Honestly I don’t really remember why. He wanted to fix it, because he knew that on the long run, we wouldn’t last if we kept that going. So I tell him that we should tell each other what bother us and what we want to improve. He replied to me saying that maybe we might just not match each other that well. So I started to not understand and get angry at him. We talked, and I don’t know how we achieved to get there but I started to tell him how I felt but not like I did before, I don’t really know how to explain it but it was just how I really felt about him. He replied. He said that he was sorry for everything, that he might not love me like I love him, that he feels bad for seeing everything about me and stuff, that he is 20 and that he wants to find someone, that he doesn’t see any future with long distance, that he was not here for my body and that I am someone amazing but that he is scared to destroy me. He is always scared to hurt me, because I get hurt very easily.. He believes that he destroyed our friendship and everything bc of what we shared without guaranteeing that he’d be my boyfriend. He often asks himself if he wants to be my boyfriend but he thinks that he doesn’t love me like I love him. He says that he is sorry that I fell in love with a coward like him. I didn’t cry reading it. Maybe because I thought it might have been worse or maybe just because I’ve already went through it. I ask him if distance is really the problem and he just tells me that he can’t really see himself doing that and that we are too young, we are each other first boyfriend and girlfriend.. I believe that he is the love of my life, I feel great talking to him, I feel the most comfortable and I don’t know if I’ll ever meet someone with whom I’m that close. I am very shy and only have a few friends. He is very friendly, he has a bunch of friends and a few close friends. Anyway I told him that I want him to give me one chance, just to meet him first and then to see if we match.. he said ok, but can’t assure me that it’ll work and wants me to promise him that I’ll move on if it doesn’t work.
Knowing that we’d do long distance for 1-2 years, I believe this is fine, we’d see each other on weekends and vacations. But he believes this is gonna be too complicated and requires a lot of sacrifice.
I don’t know what to do… I want to meet him and believe this is gonna work but on the other hand I feel like our relationship might be impossible because he would never really feels comfortable with long distance. I know 2 years is hard, keeping him that many years seems impossible. I am really lost right now.
At first I thought that our relationship might destroy me because I felt so insecure about everything when he didn’t reply or text me what he was doing… it was so hard to give him enough confidence I guess ? He has a lot of girl friends (but still mostly guy friend) so I used to look at his following list on Instagram.. honestly I stalked him… he was very active on Instagram and a lot of times he would be active and not reply to me… but after our breakup I stopped stalking him, and I just gave him more confidence, i knew what I used to do was wrong, he obviously has a life besides me. I believed it had become better but I was certainly wrong..
NB: He is really bad with dates 📅, but he remembers my birthday very well.. he has my birthday date as his phone password. I used to have his when we were together in 2023 but when we broke up I changed it and I didn’t change to his again since I still don’t know what we really are. I sometimes believe he loves me, I believe it. But if he tells me otherwise I just have to stop being delusional.
I might have forgotten important details.. but I’d like to have someone’s perspective on that.. I don’t really know if I should still meet him.. I know we are young…

2024.05.21 03:02 rei_mayo I try to integrate my OCs and other characters in Honkai : Star Rail !

Hello !
So... I'm rei_mayo, and I have a little bit unrealistic project. I create OCs and I imagine characters in lore what would they be in game.
I'm French, so I'm sorry for my bad English ! I prefer precise that there is just original or official content in the post ! This is just from the currents versions of the game and from my head !
Since one year, I work in my free time on this project and there is multiple things :
-First part : the lore of the project, like the background and the location ;
-Second part : the relics, and the elevation materials ;
-Third part : the characters, and the banners ;
-Fourth and last part : the plot of the history (in the big lines).
I prefer to precise why I do this. When I play video games, I love to create characters when it's possible, and in MiHoYo games, it's not possible... But, create characters that only me like, it's very selfish, so I would like to present them to have notices if they are fantastic !

First part :

So, the history would be in a location called the "Shìjiè-Chuán of Xianzhou" (nb : mean Ship-World (世界船) in Chinese). The Shìjiè-Chuán is the capital and the most important part of the Alliance. A little time after Lan became an Aeon, Yaoshi asks to an Emanator to kill the Emperor of Xianzhou and to make a plague mark in the original planet of Xianzhou.
Lan discovers that and he purifies the planet, kill Abominations, destroys the plague mark. With the remains of the planet and the Xianzhouan (?) planet, he creates a huge boat, the ShÏjiè-Chuån.
For comparative, the ShÏjiè-Chuån is so huge that all the other boats can fit in with no problem. It's contains important locations like :
-The Judgment Palace : The place where the Ten Lords and the Generals Arbiters judges the most dangerous criminals. Despite the fact the criminals are jail in the Xuling, they really are judge in the ShÏjiè-Chuån.
-The Starry Streets : Streets where neon, big screens and buildings are. The popular streets of the ShÏjiè-Chuån, mix of tradition and modernity.
-The Fallen Garden : A garden where plants of all the planets who were saved by the Hunt are. It's also the place where the Yamato was before the Emanator of Lan gets him.
-The Shackling Prison : The prison of Xianzhou, where all the criminals of the Alliance are located. In the depths of the prison, just one person is remained... Shuhu, Emanator of Abundance.
-The siege of the Ten Lords Commission : The place where all the Ten Lords (not included the Fallen King and the Stellar Queen) are when there is no process. It's also the place where all the Judges, the Wraith Wardens and the Aurumations are when they don't have missions.
-The boats Goldsmithery : The place where the boats of the Alliance are repair. Actually, the Cangcheng is here for reparation after the destruction of Rahu.
-Other places... How to discover them ? Play~
And here is some clarifications !
So, who is the Marshals ?
In my idea, Hua is a false Marshal, to cover and hide the ShÏjiè-Chuån, but she's really powerful. She would be a Fu Hua expy... And I will talk about her later...
The reals Marshals are Rei -The Fallen King- and Xingxing -The Stellar Queen-.
Rei is the Emanator (and the only) of Lan. Called the Fallen King because of a legend, he's considered like the most powerful person of the Alliance. He carries a divine katana called the Yamato-Shinigami. (nb : Yamato > Yama, Hindu god and judge of the dead. The Chinese god Yanluowang or Yanluo Wang has his origins in Yama. Shinigami > Death Kami). I will talk about him later.
Xingxing (nb : star (星星) in Chinese) is an Emanator of Nous and a Eclairor (?) of IX. Called the Stellar Queen because she uses stars with martial art for fight, she done renovations in the Shìjiè-Chuán for make it more modern. I will talk about her later too.
The Marshals are the boss of Xianzhou and of all the factions who follow the Hunt, like the Galaxy Rangers. They rule all the commissions, and are very important, but they rule different commissions. For example, The Fallen King rule the Cloud Knights, but the Stellar Queen rule the Artisanship Commission. The only Commission they rule together is the Ten Lords Commission.
Who is the Ten Lords ?
In my idea, the Ten Lords Commission would be composed with eight Lords and the two Marshals, and that would be the Ten Lords. In game, it's said that nobody knows where the commission is despite the members of the Commission them-self, but she would be in the ShÏjiè-Chuån. The Ten Lords would be :
-The Fallen King ;
-The Stellar Queen ;
-Yuen (I will talk about her later) ;
-Styx, an Emanator of Finality and a member of the Galaxy Rangers (I will talk about him later);
-Athena (I will talk about her later) ;
-and other people... NPCs, so we don't care about them.
Who is really Hua ?
In my idea, Hua would be a "Marshal". When she (in my mind, she's a she) appears in public, she is the Marshal, but in the ShÏjiè-Chuån, she's judge like a General. Her title would be the "Fenghuang" (nb : phoenix of Chinese mythology).She would be in the General of the Cangcheng when he would be repair.
But... The Cangcheng is destroyed, no ?
Yes, he was devoured by the activated planet Rahu. But in the year 8098 (so two years before the game), Rei destroyed Rahu (and killed ~10 000 000 000 of abominations). That liberated the remains of the Cangcheng, and Xianzhou is trying repair him.
Why Shuhu is in the prison ? Shouldn't be dead ?
Technically, she's in prison, but it's precised that nobody knows if it's the really Shuhu of not. In fact, in each prison of Xianzhou, a few reproductions mecha-organics were made by the Stellar Queen for hide the real Shuhu. In the ShÏjiè-Chuån, she's just a spirit, seal in a transparant box cell. She just wants to talk with five persons : The Fallen King, the Stellar Queen, Yuen, Blade and Jing Yuan. The unique persons who know that Shuhu is alive are the Ten Lords, the Generals and the Stellaron Hunters. Her real body and remains are with the Abundance, but originally her remains were with Xianzhou, and her spirit was with the Abundance.
Now, here is some more lore that I created :
The Trinity of the Abundance :
If you never see Yaoshi, THEY have a lot of plants in THEIR representation. There is a wheat, a bramble, and a large tree.
I imagine that the members of Abundance considered that these three plants are divines. For them, the wheat represent the immortality, the bramble represent the price to pay for become immortal and the thanks to Yaoshi, and the tree represent the life the Abundance offer to the mortals.Traditionally, the Emanators must wear one of these three symbols. For example, Shuhu wears brambles for gives her blood to Yaoshi.
At the opposite, each plant that the Hunt has purified is considered as a sin. For example, each lotus in the Xianzhou Alliance is a sin for Abundance. But the lotus in the planets of Abundance are holy. The lotus is the incarnation of Yaoshi THEM-SELF, but only if it's in a planet of Abundance.
Rakshasa and Luocha :
If you know Luocha, I think I don't to explain that is said that he's related to the Abundance. And Luocha is an other name for "Rakshasa", a type of evil spirit of the Buddhist mythologize who are cannibals. So, I will tell you who they are :
So, after the planet of Luocha get destroyed and his wife gets killed under his eyes, Yaoshi gave to him immortality and powers to become an Emanator of Abundance. Luocha asks to resuscitated his wife, but Yaoshi tells that THEY will do that if Luocha destroys one of the different boats of the Xianzhou Alliance. But Luocha, who was a doctor in his original planet, cannot do that. But the time past, and he couldn't do that... But Yaoshi implants an sort of mara in him, like an evil spirit, so Luocha decided something.
I imagine that Luocha create a another corpse/puppet with remains of different corpses, and transverse the evil part of him in this, but not his powers and his immortality, to trying to find an another way to resuscitate his wife. He create a coffin with powers of Abundance for conserve the corpse of his love, and decided to leave the Abundance, and became a interstellar merchant for trying to discover how to resuscitate his wife.
But Yaoshi couldn't accept that. So THEY gave powers and life to the puppet contained Rakshasa, and THEY gave immortality. And Rakshasa became an Emanator of Yaoshi, for avenge him and Yaoshi. But because he was born from Luocha spirit, he has his savior of doctor.
Rakshasa tries, with Shuhu and the living planet Rahu, to destroy the ShÏjiè-Chuån. But the Stellar Queen fought him, and "kill him". But Rakshasa false his death, and he takes with him the remains of Shuhu.
Rakshasa is known for his cannibalism and for his experiences. He's like a Dottore in term of personality, but more crazy and more psychopathic.
The Yamato-Shinigami and the divine spirits of the Hunt :
So, what is the Yamato-Shinigami ?
This saber is an odachi created by Lan, to purge the Abominations and for the Emanators of Lan. So, Lan created this saber with a galaxy and imaginary energy for this first Emanator, but when he dies, Lan hid the saber in the ShÏjiè-Chuån for the next Emanator... A long time ago, Rei meditated in the Stellar Garden after the death of his mother, and the Yamato has called him. Since this event, he and the Yamato are lied and the odachi is his saber.
Lan doesn't choose the Carrier of the Yamato, but it's the saber himself who choose his owner. The saber has only two owners in his life : The first Emanator of Lan and Rei.
Lan doesn't place the powers he gives to his Emanator in the Emanator, he place the powers in the Yamato. More the Emanator does miracles and heroics acts, more the Emanator gain the power. Actually, Rei have 100% of his powers, but there is a state more powerful : the Resonance.The Resonance is a phenomenon that caused when the willpower of the Emanator and the willpower of the Yamato are the same, and the power of the Emanator are increase so much that the people say when the Fallen King reach this state temporary, he becomes powerful as a Aeon.
But this state can be permanent, if the willpower of Rei became so strong that him and the Yamato become just one. The spirit in the saber changes his form according to who is the person who meet him. And he doesn't fight, the spirit of the Yamato-Shinigami doesn't fight with Emanators. The Yamato measure ~225 cm/~7,3 feet, and his pound is unknown. (The pound depend of who carries the blade. Very light for the carrier but very heavy for the other)
But what are the divine spirits of the Hunt ?
Do you know the Lighting Lord ? I think yes.>! In the lore, it's "said" and showed that the past General of the Luofu, Teng Xiao, uses the Lightning Lord, like Jing Yuan. But not the same sword, because of the Starfall Reverie has been forged by Blade when he was Yingxing.!< So I imagined that :
The first Generals, when they passed away, Lan take there spirits and gives a lot of power. Since the creations of these spirits, they are give to the Generals, until they choose to retire. Then, it's give to the next Generals, and this cycle is repeated. These spirits are unlike of the spirit of the Yamato, because they don't give their powers and doesn't are in a weapon. Plus, the spirit of the Yamato can't fight with his carrier.
Technically, the General Arbiters are Emanators, like Rei, but the divine spirits changes all. Rei does have powers of Lan/The Hunt and he has the Yamato-Shinigami, but if he fights without, he changes nothing (just the fact that the Yamato uses as a multiplying for the slashes. But if the Generals fights without the spirits, it would changes. (it's a theory/created lore, so please, not rude in comments !)
So the divine spirits would be like the reasons why the Generals of the Hunt are considered as Emanators.
So, now, I think the first part is finish... Let's go to the second part !

Third part :

For the order of apparition of the characters, it would be :
?.0 : Xixian (first phase) 5 star Harmony ; Thunde Yuen (second phase) 5 star Erudition ; Wind, with 4 star character
?.1 : Rakshasa (first phase) 5 star Abundance ; Ice/ Hua (second phase) 5 star Fire ; Destruction, with 4 star character
?.2 : Xingxing (first phase) 5 star Nihility ; Fire/ Rei (second phase) 5 star Hunt ; Imaginary

?.4 : Elio (first phase) 5 star Preservation ; Thunder (can change)/ Styx (second phase) 5 star Erudition ; Quantum.
So, who is Xixian ?
Xixian is the Lieutenant of the ShÏjiè-Chuån. She's around 60, and she's a long-life specie. She wears a artificial arm, because Rakshasa cut off her arm during the battle of the ShÏjiè-Chuån. She trusts the Fallen King and the Stellar Queen, but she's a little overprotective in them.
Xixian is a character of the Harmony who can increase different stats depending on the Path of the character. If it's a Destruction/Hunt/Erudition character, she can increase CRIT DMGS and ATK. If it's a Preservation character, she can increase DEF. If it's a Nihility character, she can increase the Effect Hit Rate and the DoT DMGS. If it's a Abundance character, she can increase the Outgoing Healing Boost. And if it's a Harmony character, she can increase ERR. Her bonus can last for 1 turn. Her ultimate can increase the duration of the bonus of the characters to 2 more turns.
So, who is Yuen ?
Yuen is one of the Ten Lords. Nicknamed as the Erudite, she's the most younger person named in the post of one of the Ten Lords. Despite the fact she's still a child/teenager, she's very wise and intelligent, and she's a very good strategist.
Yuen is a character of the Erudition that inflict wind DMGS. Her technique and her ultimate would change with her talent, Condensation. For example, less enemies are here, more DMGS are inflict : 5-4 enemies in the battlefield : Effect Zone ; 3 enemies in the battlefield : Burst ; 2 - 1 enemies in the battlefield : Unique target. But don't worry, you can choose what type of attack the skill does. Her talent can also increases her CRIT DMGS and ATK.
So, who is Rakshasa ?
Rakshasa is an Emanator of the Abundance, and he was the evil part of Luocha. His body was simply a puppet, but Yaoshi make his body organic... So he would be very flexible. He would fight with needle-gloves.
Rakshasa is a character of the Abundance who can heal... But with a particular way ! So, all the allies have a effect at the beginning of the battle : "Holy Sacrifice", who is his talent. When a character lost HP, the Holy Sacrifice absorbs his loss of HP, until a limit. The skill of Luocha can release the Holy Sacrifice for heals the ally, and makes the effect reborn. Release the Holy Sacrifice can increase the DMGS and the ATK of Rakshasa. Also, his talent take some allies's HP in each turn to increases the Holy Sacrifice. His ultimate, who would be an Burst, can uses the HP of the allies to increase the DMGS and the CRIT DMGS of Rakshasa, and then, he attacks the enemy/enemies. Then, he releases the Holy Sacrifice of all the characters to heal them.
His VA would be the same of Luocha, Craig Lee Thomas.
So, who is Hua ?
Hua is a sort of Marshal of Xianzhou. Even if in public, she appears as the Marshal, she's in reality the future General of the Cangcheng, and she possesses the divine spirit of the boat, the Inferno-Empress. Her nickname is the Fenghuang.
The Inferno-Empress would appears like a gigantic phoenix.
Hua is a character of the Destruction who deals Fire DMGS, but also Super Break Effect. So, the Inferno-Empress would be like the Lightning-Lord, but when shes uses her ultimate, the Inferno-Empress merges with her and she enters in the "Fenghuang" state. When she's in this state, every attack that Hua uses consumes her HP. But, each time that her HP get consumed, her Break Effect increase. The state lasts for 2 turns, and she inflects Super Break Effect. At the end, a sort of a ultimate attack is trigger and all the HP (even the HP that are not here, for example, if her max HP is 10000, but she only has 8000 HP, then her HP are going to be in -2000) are consumed and the Break Effect is increase in a certain value for each 500 HP that are consume, and she inflicts DMGS and Super Break Effect for the enemies who are in Weakness Break. She cans heal herself with the DMGS that she has done, but the heal cannot exceed 75% of her HP ! The Inferno-Empress deals Fire DMGS, and Super Break Effect to the enemies who are in Weakness Break.
So, who is Xingxing ?
Xingxing is one of the two Marshals of Xianzhou, the Stellar Queen, an Emanator of the Erudition, an Eclairor of the Nihility and one of the Ten Lords. She's the possessor of the Stellar Marks, a gift of the Erudition who can permits to create micro-stars and stellar flames to fight. With the power of the Nihility, she create black holes also for fight.
She's 17 years old, and she would uses the same model as for March !
Xingxing is a character of the Nihility who deals Fire DMGS. She cans add more DoT on enemies who already have DoT with her special DoT : Starburn, who can also inflects Burn. Starburn is inflect to the enemies with her skill and her ultimate. She can also reach multiple enemies because she does effect zone attacks. Her talent can increases the DoT DMGS she does to the enemies depending on their HP.
Her VA would be Judy Alice Lee (VA of MelinoĂŤ).
So, who is Rei ?
Rei is one of the two Marshals of Xianzhou, the Carrier of the Yamato-Shinigami, the unique Emanator of the Hunt, the chief of the Galaxy Rangers and one of the Ten Lords. Anyway, he's a very important person of the Xianzhou Alliance. He's from a forgotten planet, who has been destroyed by the Abundance. Rescued by the past Marshal, Lingyue when he was six years old, he quickly became one of the greatest fighter of the Alliance at his teenage years.
He is 19 years old, and he is around 1m96/~6,43 feet. (so I think he's one of the most tall character.). He's VERY muscular, and very handsome (according to me)
Rei is a Hunt character (an Emanator of this path) who deals Imaginary DMGS. His gameplay would be concentrate in the CRIT DMGS. Depending on the attacks, it's giving to him "Fallen Royalty" accumulations. When he has a certain number of this accumulation, he entering in the "Fallen King" state, who increased his CRIT rate and his CRIT DMGS and reinforce his skill and his ultimate. For his ultimate, it increases his CRIT rate and his CRIT DMGS, and he gives 9 slashes to the enemy. When he's in the "Fallen King" state, it's would increase his CRIT rate and CRIT DMGS, also gives XIII (4, 4, and 5) slashes to an enemy. For each slash that are a CRIT hit, an additional slash is inflect. Each additional slash increases the Rei's CRIT DMGS, and they do a CRIT vulnerability. If all the all the additional slashes has been concluded, then a last additional slash is inflect. When he does CRIT DMGS when he uses his ultimate in the "Fallen King" state, it's does another hit in the enemy.
Here is his description :
"One of the two Marshals of the Xianzhou Alliance, the Carrier of the Yamato, the Emanator of Lan and the Fallen King. Feared by his enemies, respected by his allies. He always wears a fickle smile, and he always brings death with him.
Lan, the Reignbow Arbiter entrust the Yamato to Rei, the greatest weapon of all the Alliance. As a great strategist, he's also a good brother. He knows all the Stellaron Hunters, and he's apparently in a relation with the Stellaron Hunter named Blade..."
His VA would be Kaiji Tang (the VA of Gojo).
So, who is Shuhu ?
Shuhu is an Emanator of Yaoshi, considered as the "daughter of the Abundance". She's always with a scythe made with the body of Yaoshi and with the bones of her victims. She has a very sense of the sadism and she hates the humanity for all they have done to her.
Shuhu is a character of the Abundance who deals Quantum DMGS. She has three skills : One where she consumes the HP of the allies for increase DMGS and CRIT DMGS, and she attacks the enemies. An other where she consumes her HP for increase DMGS and CRIT DMGS, and where she attacks the enemies. And the last where she attacks the enemies for steal the HP of the enemies for heals her and the allies. In her ultimate, she consumes her HP and the allies's HP for increase her DMGS, her CRIT DMGS and her CRIT rate, and she attacks the enemies for steal the enemies's HP and heals the allies.
So, who is Athena ?
Athena is one of the Ten Lords, nicknamed as the Protector. She's always with a owl named Zhìhuì (nb : wisdom in Chinese (智慧)), and is a real master of the strategy and the war inventions, but she's also one of the more oldest members of the Ten Lords.
Athena is a character of the Harmony who can increase the DMGS and the ATK of the allies with her skill. Her talent can increase all the allies's RES PEN and their SPD. Her ultimate can increase all the allies's CRIT DMGS for 2 turns, for a chosen ally, she cans place her owl for 2 turns, who inflict additional DMGS on the enemy/enemies who the ally attacks. Also, if the ally get attack, the owl defend them with a counterattack.
So, who is Elio ?
Elio is the chef of the Stellaron Hunters (and if you don't know that, you must haven't touch HSR). I imagine him as a cat (practically not imagine, because it's quite official, but not official, so you know), but he uses his puppet... I doesn't draw him because I know that his design already be... You know what. I imagine him very kind and mysterious.
Elio is a character of the Preservation who can predict the DMGS of the allies. His skill would be a shield. For his ultimate, it's would add a status for all the allies and him : "Forecast of the Script". This effect would last one turn, and would cancel all the DMGS the allies receive.
So, who is Styx ?
AH-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ! You have to wait !

Fourth part :

The history would be in the ShÏjiè-Chuån, and here is the principal plot :
First quest : " You and the Astral Express receive a mysterious call of Jing Yuan, who telling you that he have something important to said to you. The thing in question is that is a feast for the "saviors of the Luofu" (the Nameless) in the... ShÏjiè-Chuån ?! Not time for chatting, Jing Yuan gives you the localisation of the mysterious ship, and the Astral Express start his new journey... "
Second quest : " After a few warp jumps, you finally reach the ShÏjiè-Chuån, capital of the Xianzhou Alliance. After meet all of the Generals and the Lieutenant Xixian, it's finally the time for you to meet the Ten Lords, including the Fallen King and the Stellar Queen, real Marshals of the Alliance... "
Other quests...? You have to play~
The quest would be a quest long as Penacony... Maybe a little more... And there would be all the Nameless... Yes, Pom-Pom in the quest and he would use his powers ! If he has powers.
In the final boss of the ShÏjiè-Chuån, the music would be like, if it's possible, of the song "Bad Apple". In the battle, the people singing for encouraging the ones who are fighting the final boss.
In the 1st phase, it's would be only the divine spirits who singing.
In the 2nd phase, it's would be all the soldiers and the divines spirits who singing.
In the 3rd and the final phase, it's would be all Xianzhou Alliance (yes, Lan included too !) who singing.
The "R" attack ( like the Dan Heng attack during the Phantylia fight ) would be all the divine spirits and the two Marshals conferring their power to the Trailblazer, and then, he/she slashes the boss.
So, it's the end of the post... If you have questions for clarify something, you can in comments, and I would be respond with pleasure !
Bye byeeeeee !
