2024.06.08 19:49 PerformanceHuman6906 Help! Blueprints that I've downloaded doesn't show up in game
So I've downloaded a a bunch of blueprints and the few specific that I'm looking for wont show up in game. I've searched every category and even checked my download list on steam to make sure I downloaded it.
I've redownloaded the workshop item but still wont shop up in game. There's quite a few that are not showing up. And some workshop items that I have downloaded show up in game but not in my downloaded workshop items. It's so frustrating! I've also saw another reddit about the same issue and they said to delete the downloads folder in program files/steam/steamapp. I did that but that didn't help, hence I am here asking for help..

2024.06.08 18:14 Boring_Range_6869 Question plus seeking for advice on my shifting journey.
Question: Do I need to have a clear blueprint of the entire neighborhood in my desired reality and specific places, or will my consciousness do the work?
My experience, Advice Needed:
I found out about shifting during the pandemic through TikTok (don’t judge me). I’ve done a lot of research outside of TikTok because many YouTubers say it is not good to take advice from TikTok.
I only try to shift at night. During the day, it is noisy, but when it is quiet (which is rare), I try during the day. I use guided meditations because I have ADHD and find it hard to focus on my own. However, during the day, nothing happens, and I just end up not shifting and with a sore throat. Thus, I try to shift at night.
I lie in bed most nights with a subliminal or guided meditation playing in my Bluetooth sleeping mask. When I found out about shifting, I ALWAYS slept on my back because I thought that was the only way to achieve a shifting experience. I couldn't sleep well on my back, and it messed up my sleep a lot, but I was desperate to shift.
The only time I was close to shifting was on January 14th of this year. I had woken up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. It was 4 a.m., I think, and it was still very dark outside. I lay in a starfish position and started to count and say affirmations. Then I felt it: I began to see lights (it was pitch black in my bedroom), and the warm blankets suddenly became cool. I could feel my surroundings change. I freaked out and opened my eyes, and once I did, it felt as if my consciousness was sucked back into my body. I stayed seated at the edge of my bed for 30 minutes thinking about what had just happened.
Even though my closest attempt at shifting was in a starfish position, I couldn't sleep like that anymore. I hated it so much. So I googled online and watched many shifting videos. I saw a lot of people describing their successful shifting experiences even though they were not in a starfish position. Since then, I stopped using the starfish position and began sleeping on my side more comfortably, but it's still unsuccessful. I feel like I had more chances with the starfish, but I couldn't keep sleeping like that. Now, I try to shift while sleeping on my side, still listening to guided meditations. However, at night, I wake up at an unknown time with my sleeping mask fallen off my face and somewhere random on my bed. It's frustrating.
I don't know what to do. I believe in shifting. That little experience of mine at 4 a.m. motivated me even more, but part of me is still doubtful. I feel like it will never happen to me. I just wish I knew how to get this negative mindset out of me.
Does anyone have advice for me? How can i get this negative mindset out of me?
If you have any questions please ask
(Sorry english is not my first language. )

2024.06.08 17:51 NiceVanilla4084 sukuna is VASTLY superior to gojo
 | "gojo fought 1v3 so 4 arms is nothing for gojo" submitted by NiceVanilla4084 to Jujutsufolk [link] [comments] Dumbest argument ever. Aside from the fact that agito is fodder and was only there to stall time until mahoraga used the world slash, gojo also said he was fodder and he would only prioritize destroying it because it would heal sukuna. mahoraga is not on sukuna or gojos level in H2H. that much is obvious. THE funniest part in ALL of this, is that meguna couldn't even use DA during that "1v3". idk how gojo fans can say "1v3 in H2H" and "meguna" in the same sentence without coming to the obvious conclusion that meguna can't fight H2H alongside agito and mahoraga simply BECAUSE mahoraga and agito are there (can't use shikigami(CT) and domain amp at the same time🤦🏾♂️) Yknow what made this recent chapter even funnier is that jjk fans (gojo fans) didn't go back and read the domain battles and CLEARLY see that during the 3 minute domain (the DE battle that literally decides who wins) is that it took gojo the ENTIRE 3 minutes to damage a handicapped meguna who wasn't using DA but actually adapting. This happened TWICE. It's simple. sukuna just wanted the world slash to upgrade his arsenal. sukuna let gojo keep spamming domains, then adapted to UV as a backup once he inevitably gets caught in UV (cuz he nerfs himself by adapting) then once gojo gets his domain disabled sukuna gets THE best scenario he wanted. The scenario where gojos domain is disabled while sukuna has shrine. sukuna closes his domain with a barrier so gojo can't escape, and then he slices gojo up and adapts to infinity (ensuring the blueprint is in mahoragas hand) then finishes him off with shrine. However sukuna underestimated UV after-effects which saved gojo. Sukuna said it himself "unlimited void a Ct that activates in a domain, to be honest i thought it would be difficult to handle, so i wanted to get rid of it" Most people use this to fuel the agenda that sukuna needed mahoraga, but UV is difficult in terms of sukuna STRICTLY adapting to neutral infinity. Adapting means you have to GET HIT and the fact that sukuna can't use domain amp. Sukuna purposely getting hit to adapt to neutral infinity is not the smartest thing to do especially if sukunas shrine breaks when gojo deals enough damage, meaning UV is just waiting to hit sukuna once gojo damages sukuna. that is not a good scenario so sukuna wanted to get rid of it THEN adapt to neutral infinity while sukuna still has his domain gojo can't counter with UV it was the perfect win for sukuna until he underestimated UV after effects. doesn't change the fact that sukuna was NERFING himself so he could obtain the world slash which is EVIDENTLY by choice. considering the fact that he could just win the 3 min domain battle due to the fact that it took the Entire 3 minutes to damage meguna who wasnt using DA , TWICE. controversial but its the fact. sukuna isn't lucky that he had 10s. gojos lucky that sukuna used 10s to prioritizing the world slash rather than outright winning the domain battle. |
2024.06.08 17:22 DataExtreme1052 Tackling the Failsafe
This is a hypothetical change to the Omnitrix's failsafe
Ben can die from being stabbed or shot, but that trick won’t work twice. After he dies, the Omnitrix will create an imperfect copy of him using his DNA. His imperfect copy might be missing a few memories or have an extra finger, something relatively minor. This time around, the Omnitrix will recognize the danger of Ben’s skin being broken through, and will transform Ben the second it happens. Knives & bullets are out of the question. However, fire, electricity, & acid are still options because they burn Ben.
The Omnitrix can adapt to protect itself too. It will fight off a hack, just as your body fights off a virus. Sooner or later, it will become immune to that type of malware and similar types. It can also protect itself against physical intruders, such as digital enemies.
What the Omnitrix can’t protect itself or Ben from is deletion. If the watch is deleted, whether through time manipulation or other means, it obviously cannot adapt and cannot regrow a Ben. IThere are aliens who can resist such dangers, though, so Ben will need to manually turn into one of them if he’s facing an enemy with such a power. However, blueprints for the Omnitrix, and the DNA of every being that was in it can be accessed through a supercomputer on Galvan Prime. Azmuth himself, or someone else, can recreate Ben and the Omnitrix.
This adaptative failsafe still requires Ben to think. It takes the Omnitrix 10 months to grow a copy, giving whoever killed Ben plenty of time to be all evil and whatnot. Ben can’t be careless. P.S. Some of Ben’s personality has rubbed off on the Omnitrix. It gets bored of Serena and Bellicus, and that’s why it doesn’t turn Ben into Alien X all the time.

2024.06.08 16:12 ResearcherFlaky1836 An idea for the beginning of Legends ZA
It is night time. *BEEP* Your Holo Caster notifies you. You've been approved for the Lumiose Redevelopment Plan!
It asks your details - name, gender, appearance, and, oh, you've been selected to win a Pokémon! It says you'll receive it in the morning.
We then see the beautiful sun rising in a cosy corner of Lumiose City. It's a small housing community, and you live in a narrow 3-story house amongst leafy Autumn trees. The postman arrives at your door, and BAM! the Pokémon surprises him and jumps out of the box.
You then start controlling the Pokémon. Move it upstairs to your bedroom and make it jump on you. (This is a reference to X and Y beginning when a Pokémon wakes you up in bed)
You then go to the Quasar group in the middle of Lumiose City, and the story begins...
Gameplay
Your watch band contains a Holo Caster and Synchro Machine, so you can move Pokémon around.
You can now "spar" with wild Pokémon.
"Sparring" is not turn-based combat. You can attack, use combos, block and jump. "Sparring" can't knock wild Pokémon out - only stun them. You earn XP and items from stunning wild Pokémon.
Research Points
"Sparring" is a good way to earn research points, too. You research different things, like how Pokémon spar in different areas, what Pokémon come to back them up, varying attack styles and so on.
Pokémon can gang up on you (hordes!), but you can now release Pokémon from your party to auto-spar in the background for you.
Sparring is different from turn-based battles, which you can still take part in.
The Hidden Secret of Lumiose City
The Redevelopment of Lumiose was originally just planned for humans. This is because it was based on Lysandre's blueprint - which was excellent... well, for humans that is. The plan of course needs heavy modifying and the Quasar leader is using a new AI to do that. He needs information though, so he's put together a group to do that.
Your best friend
Lysandre's son is your best friend. His storyline involves searching for his father, who was never found... he's also been receiving eery, cryptic transmissions on his Holo Caster from his father's contact. Your best friend actually got you in to the Quasar group using a backdoor that his father still has into the Holo Network.
That's all for now...
Any comments, ideas, the mic is yours.

2024.06.08 14:51 SECdeezTrades The Blueprint NAC+Curcumin+Ginger Pill = Pure Heartburn
I read and heard complaints about it in the Discord so I haven't tried it, instead relying on my NAC supplements i've taken before. Well, on a lark and thinking "maybe it's overblown" I took some yesterday midday and some today morning.
Yesterday, didn't feel too much issue but I only ate a slice of bread. Today, coffee plus greek yogurt plus core blueprint pills plus the NAC+Curcumin+Ginger -- Holy hell 30 minutes later the strongest heartburn i've felt in years. Feeling it right now. I knew it had to be bad for some since it's come up during some of Bryan's live presentations before about Blueprint and heartburn and suspected it was that one, and I knew Ginger has that potential for some including myself, but wow this still feeling it.
Back to throwing the NAC+Curcumin+ginger bottles in the back of the cabinet and relying on my old NAC pills. Thankfully I can order blueprint individual pill bottles now instead of doing the whole package.

2024.06.08 14:45 jeanettedelmess Items get stuck and clogged overtime in hopper system
Hi everyone,
Basically I have built this item sorter system based on a world save - no blueprint or anything, just copy pasting block by block, so it is possible that i missed something, or just misplaced something.
I'm at a point I have been looking for the source of the issue for several hours, still cant figure it out.
I am going to describe what happens as much as I can, so bare with me.
The setup I used is def not the usual 1 row of chests will filter on 1 type of item, but this one can actually even filter multiple items into one chest. So, for example, I can have all my sapling in one chest. I just fill up the chests with the items I want to store in them, or if I dont have enough of the same item, I use an item filter block (stone in my case), which prevents any other items to flow into my sapling chest. The sorting system is like 6 or 7 chests high, all double chests turned to their sides. The hopper system is basically a loop, a dropper elevator will send up the items, the item goes down behind the chests (should go into the chest in case its the right chest), then loops back to a second dropper elevator, which again sends it up to go through the second row of chests. This repeats 3 times on both sides. The issue comes in, after the elevator sends up the item, and it would start flowing through the chests. If the item is in the top chest, its fine, it goes into the chest and stacks with the other items in there. But, in case it would need to flow down cuz there is no space for it, it just gets stuck, and sits in the top chest's hopper, slowly clogging my whole item sorter system. I don't have this issue on my basic 1item/row item sorter, so I believe the item should flow to the hopper under it in case the chest where its originally leading to is full
I have tried finding a tutorial for this specific item sorter but my search engine skills are messed up, so I'm hoping reddit redstone community could point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I have found the design this is based on, it is from Tango Tek, I will try to see if I can learn anything from his video!

2024.06.08 14:26 Curious_Theme6990 Election Year Information
Hey yall, with major elections in the US, UK, and Europe this year, I thought I'd make a post about it.
Firstly: GO VOTE!
Every vote counts
secondly: here's some information about voting the major elections this year.
USA:
I know we all have complaints about candidates mainly Trump.
we can't let him win effects of Trump winning include: a national abortion ban, sevirely limited rights and freedoms of LGBTQIA+ people to the point of criminalization of their existence, and sevirely limited rights of women and people of color.
A reelected of Trump also almost certainly includes increslased tension and conflict in Russia and Ukraine, and escolated Israel Palestine conflicts.
Voting for Biden is voting for democracy
If Trump wins he will do everything in his power to make America a dictatorship, he has publicly said that he would be a dictator if he could

Project 2025:
his allies have drafted a sweeping document titled Project 2025. It's led by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, and it details a blueprint for a second term for Trump.Source: https://www.pbs.org/newshoushow/how-a-second-trump-presidency-could-impact-the-lgbtq-community
Specifically on restricting LGBTQ rights, what that details is reinstating a transgender military ban, limiting LGBTQ workplace discrimination protections. Currently, under the law, sexual orientation, and gender identity are protected. It would rescind health care protections for transgender people and urge Congress to define gender as male and female, fixed at birth.
Trump has repeatedly said, also, William, that he would ban gender-affirming care for minors. And this playbook makes pretty clear that his plan — this plan also is trying to stop any and all acknowledgement of an acceptance of gender identity and LGBTQ people, period.
And so, throughout this blueprint, there's some pretty striking language where government — saying that government officials should only recognize marriages between a man and a woman and that a man and a woman are the ideal natural family structure.
Also, in addition to that, William, Trump has outlined a number of policies that essentially help minority groups and that they would be on the chopping block. So, when it comes to Project 2025 cuts to diversity, what the plan would do is delete diversity, equity and inclusion from every piece of legislation, remove diversity, equity, inclusion offices from federal agencies, curtail the teaching of race and racism, and urge Congress to ban federal funds for Critical Race Theory training.
Essentially, William, Trump has vowed on the campaign trail to terminate all DEI programs.
Thanks u/Cardborg for the following text
Another thing regarding Israel/Palestine.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar_Ben-Gvir
If you're going to withhold a vote for Biden, please think about what Trump will do.
Trump will fully support people like Gvir and Smotrich. Give their policies a quick search and you'll see why I'm terrified of that.

UK:
Thanks u/alexmlb3598 for the following paragraphs
Politically-aware Brit here - I'm only going to over the largest 5 parties in England as that's where I'm from (Plaid Cymru, SNP and NI parties are a bit of an unknown for me):https://www.gov.uk/vote-uk-election
Conservatives (previous Government): Don't. Just don't. They've been the most vocal in engaging the culture watrans debate whilst also crushing the country all over. They're expected to lose a TON of seats as well.
Labour (expected next Government): See Conservatives but less aggressive with passing anti-trans policies. Some candidates are pro, others anti, so if Labour are looking strong in your constituency, ask the candidate about their personal stance on trans issues (and any others that matter strongly to you). Most likely to win urban seats.
Lib Dems: Probably the biggest party with a pro-trans stance, however there are still GC holdouts in the party - This makes vetting very important, so get in touch with the candidate. These guys are the most likely to pick up Conservative-held rural seats, especially in the south of England (the acclaimed Blue Wall).
Greens: See Lib Dems, but unlikely to win many seats (if any outside of Brighton Pavillon). If you're in a seat where the outcome is effectively a certainty (such as Red Wall seats), you could use this as a protest vote?
Reform: See Conservatives but even worse. Please don't.
Tl;dr - Look at the polling/prediction for your constituency (Election Maps UK has a fairly good website for it), and then contact the Labour, Lib Dem and Green candidates for your constituency to see what their opinion is on it. Remember that there's no shame in voting for a pro-trans candidate even if their party is fairly anti (such as Labour).
For me in the south of England, if my Lib Dem candidate is pro-trans I'm very likely to vote for them, bc they have a good chance of snatching the seat off the Tories and they'll represent my views on what matters most to me.

Thanks u/Nervous-Efficiency10 for the following text
If you're in Canada, I highly recommend voting for alternatives against Pierre Poilievre. He had been openly anti trans, and has made it clear that in his eyes "trans women have no space in women’s bathrooms, changing rooms, shelters, sporting competitions and other servicessource,"This is a highly moderated post: anyone arguing, being violent, spreading transphobia, homophobia, or any other lgbt phobic comments, saying anyone's life is less valuable than their own or someone else's, and or spewing blatent misinformation will have their comment removed and may be banned.
Here's another quote of his "'But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males,' he added." [source](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-ban-trans-women-sports-bathrooms-1.7120972
This is coming just after Alberta is trying to take away a bunch of rights for trans youth in schools, which is an act he has been highly supportive of. Make sure to vote for anyone else so we do not get Pierre in office.
2024.06.08 13:54 caps2018cup RNG In this game is just so trash
Just finally got a decent level Argentavis (level 199 on tame). Before this my highest level is a 114 (pumped speed into her so she’s my fastest with melee of 347%/195 speed, and my lowest is a 78 which I pumped weight into purely, sitting on 975 weight)
Both have basic saddles.
Got a couple of saddle blueprints. 74 armour on a Journeyman (3k hide)
110 armour on an Ascendant (25k hide)
Which I was saving for better level tames but still..
22k more for an extra 36 armour?. Seems legit…
Screw your extra 36 armour for an extra 22k hide…I’m crafting the Journeyman

2024.06.08 08:00 Fearless-Science-825 My alien yandere girlfriend part 3 of ?
Prologue part 2
Chapter 1: Song of rainfall, and snow part 1.
Date: Feb 12th, 2046 9:23 AM/PCT Location: Proxima Centauri B, Outskirts of Kashuna, Capital of Proxima Centauri
“Hey! hey! Your local Global occult defense initiative recruiter here. The world is gonna get worse before it gets better. No seriously look around you. Around you, you are surrounded by Aliens, the occult, and things beyond comprehension that God made just for fun. It's our job to protect humanity from these world ending threats.” The video cuts to an event where the skies suddenly turn blood red mixed with an aurora borealis, fissures appear in the crimson skies, and azure liquids falling from the skies. When the droplets of the azure liquids drop into the ground they turned into horrific amalgamations of flesh, and liquids. The video cuts to a person being engulfed by the azure entities, and after a while the azure liquids suddenly disappears and the person who was engulfed by it started to laugh.
A moment later the body started to morph into another form, and was immediately lit up by humanoid robots with cold azure eyes. Some parts looked human. Mainly the head, and the body. The ears looked like headphones, the limbs looked so robotic or something akin to that of a prosthetics, and the eyes… Looks akin to that of the creature from the azure liquid. Seeing that sent shivers down my mind. Suddenly I felt like wanting to run away but didn't because I didn't want to fall off a jeep running at 60 miles per hour. But a second later I felt like my body was being broken apart. I don't know why but I just felt that way. In some part of me I felt somewhat disgusted at myself. Seemingly seeing myself as one of them.
A tear appeared on my face, making me feel dread as the video played. I don't know why… But it both made me sad, and angry. Like how I felt when I lost both mom, and dad. I shook my head and tried my best to ignore it. It's probably just my imagination or my mental instability. Yet something nagged at me like it wasn't. “Whether domestic or international. Do you really think we haven't suffered through the stars just to get here? Well if you know history then your answer is no, and you would be perfect for joining our local mobile task forces. Such as MTF Fox-2 The sneaky bastards.” Suddenly the screen cuts to footage of robotic soldiers in full optical camouflage uniforms gunning down some sort of ghost like apparitions. One of the apparitions looked like a giant orangutan that was given steroids, and was gunned down by a 70mm canon fire from a robotic construct that looked like a giant mechanical spider armed to the teeth with machine guns, and a main 150mm Howitzer, and a secondary 70mm flak. It's eyes glowed azure blue as it continued to gun down more of these apparitions.
“Um… Nau? Why does the local internet have military recruitment adds for humans? Like I bet the only people sent here are probably military personnel mostly, and some are researchers. So why is there military recruitment ads?” I asked curious about the reason this kind of ad was playing in this side of human controlled territory to try and distract myself from what I just saw and felt. If the UN was a conventional military then hiring soldiers from other nations or species would be out of the question.
“Well honestly K, you humans have been fighting off incursions for the last 5,000 years albiet in such smaller scales than what your normal species outside of the Orion arm does. It takes up a lot of man power to fight a prolonged war against wave incursions, and mutants from BEAR zones. To why you are fighting such draining conflicts? Well if I remember correctly a lot of these zones contain a lot of valuable resources to the point that fighting a large scale guerilla war would be worth the sacrifices. Not to even mention the main directive of the global occult defense initiative. To fight the things that bump in the night, and kill whatever things that threaten the safety, and veil of normalcy.”
“Their main motto is ‘We cull the things in the dark in order to live a normal life. We fight not for glory, profit, nor borders. We fight to keep normalcy.’ and sometimes this is just what they do. It takes a lot of manpower to contain things that can't be killed, to contain threats that might prove useful, to cull incursions, and to keep the veil of normalcy you know. Sometimes you need to outsource your recruiting from your target demographic. Think of it as a large scale version of the french foreign legion.”

Reverting memories…..
Welcome. Recreatant 01.
Project Snowfall. _^ :-P
-P.S remember. Mommy loves you K. Remember. Keep on living. No matter what happens. Even if the world drowns in rainfall.
A message appeared on my vision before quickly disappearing. I shrugged it off, thinking of it as some sort of hallucination, and a side effect of being thawed out which probably messed with my neurons.
Suddenly my mind started to feel light as it something has been lifted from my conscience.
“Kyruger you okay? You've been spacing out.”
“Yeah….. I'm fine.”
“What did I tell you?” She asked me.
“Umm….”
“Honestly I don't remember.”
“Well it's not like I'm letting you join them. Plus I wouldn't want you to disappear again.”
“We'll let's start to talk first. What do you remember?” I offered.
“How have you been Nau?” I smiled and looked at her, and I could faintly see her start to tear up as she stared back at me. For an honest second there I wanted to hug her but didn't because I wouldn't want us to both die. She's driving a buggy after all.
“Sure.” She said as she looked at the azure horizon whilst sighing. Currently the road we are driving is nothing but dust, and empty desert. As said by Nausica it would take 30 minutes to commute from the port to the capital. And currently we're traveling 80-90 miles per hour.
“Well. How do I put it…”
“I miss you Kyu. It's been lonely since you left.” She said whilst trying not to tear up. So.. your lonely. Just like me huh?
“How long has it been since I had…. a sincere connection….” She sighs before continuing.
“The past…. Twenty years has been rough to say the least. Everyone I met either hated me just because of my species or how I looked. Despite me trying my best to adapt….”
“People…. Still hated me….”
“Just like when we were kids…. “
“Just like when the neighbor’s kids used to belittle me just because of my hair color, and my eyes.”
“Despite me doing my best to be a good person, people still hated me for what I am. When I brought it up, or if someone knew they would avoid me. The only people that don't do that is people from my race, my sisters, and my S.T.A.L.K.E.R colleagues. Thanks to my race I couldn't get any job other than being a field agent outside of my species territory since the other species were reminded of the entities that came from the rainfall events everytime they saw us. Thus I worked for research institutes or secret societies as a freelance survey agent/S.T.A.L.K.E.R in B.E.A.R zones because of my species tolerance to Borsch radiation, and high survivability.” When I heard that, it made me feel bad for her. And quite honestly made me want to stick with her more out of pity.
“Want a hug?” I offered. She laughed.
“Sure after we arrive at the city.” She humored me.
“So how about you? What happened after you left?” She asked me. Now that I think about it. 4 years were a blur to me. All I remember was studying, and being alone most of the time. Other than that. The 4 years were basically trips.
“Well. My life went downhill. I followed my dream to be an astronaut and become an adventurer of the stars yet I failed. Everytime I tried to apply to NASA, they always rejected me. Years after years of applications rejected. Even though I both excelled in academics and physical fitness the agency still chose other candidates. After that I gave up. My heart couldn't bare it anymore. So I tried to work for other corporations. But was turned down every step of the way since I was either too good or my expectations were too high for what they were willing to pay for me. Most companies even tried to guilt trip me despite them offering me wages that would've barely keep me afloat. Thus I had no where else to go than to work at a government agency since it was the highest paying job, with great benefits I could find. Thus I worked at the FBI. The department of unusual incidents. Though my work was mostly doing debugging, fixing vulnerabilities, and sorting out papers every once in a while.”
“But everytime I sorted out papers they would give me some sort of pill that would make time fly for me. Honestly I don't remember much from those paper filings but it took a lot of time, and drained the hell out of me. It was tedious, with very strict deadlines. Eventually making me hate the bureaucracy since it wasn't in my pay grade to sort things out for them. There was a dedicated division for that but was severely understaffed. Even my division was severely understaffed. The only division that was fully staffed is the counter terrorism division which handled field operations. I don't really know much about the counter terrorism division, and the things I remembered are mostly they make arrests or investigate unusual incidents too unusual for even the other FBI departments.” I told her. Honestly thinking about it, the more I remembered the more I think I was miserable there. I couldn't help but sigh, and look at my hand.
“So that's why you posted those posts about your frustrations. You couldn't find any outlet, and decided to scream into the void.” She's….. right…..
I couldn't help thinking that I felt like my self deprecating humor was a way to cope. A way to voice out my frustration in humor.
“Heh…… your right…..”
“I couldn't find someone to talk to so I coped by other means. Making myself laugh whilst internally I was in turmoil at how frustrating my life was. Always burnt out, and devoid of the passion I wanted to work with.” Saying that made me feel… vulnerable…. Emotions of sadness, rage, and yet… happiness.
Sad about how my life was wasted, spiteful and rageful at how everything turned out, and happy that I had someone to be vulnerable with. Happy to talk it out without having a person to shove my self esteem out like some of the therapists I talked to. Happy that someone understood, and didn't immediately start to chew me down. Blaming me for the life I've lived even though I had no say with most of my life. In some ways some parts of therapy made me feel even worse.
Some part of me wanted to hug her…. yet I feel like it would be inappropriate. Hmm .. Now that I think about it…
I never opened up like this before. Some part of me was relieved that i was heard, another was insecure, seemingly paranoid that she'll just use me, and discard me the moment I had no use to her anymore. I don't know why that is… but it feels… just like it. Like I was some sort of doll being repaired over and over again by it's owner.
I shrugged. No point in dwelling in that. I have nothing waiting for me at home. No family, no friends…
Just crippling loneliness only alleviated by endless distractions, manic humor, and fake people hiding behind consumerism to alleviate the sense of meaninglessness brought by the modern world. God it feels so absurd. I feel like a stranger brought into another world where things are the same yet so different at the same time. I wonder. How whimsical are the other worlds? How is it different from the world I came from?
Aliens, humans all the same things. These are just people. Of a different species with different aspects, yet one aspect unites them all.
Self awareness, and sentience.
A deafening silence lingered in the air. Caused by my own words.
“I feel you. Despite the universe being filled with whimsy, and the occult. It's mundane. Absurd even in it's irony. Despite being whimsical, people want a mundane life. Makes you want to side with the anarchist coalition. But those are just idealists. Thinking that people want whimsy and freedom rather than safety, and stability.”
“I want to live in a world where I'm free. Free to choose whimsy, and fantasy rather than depressing, and devoid of passion replaced by the mundaneness of the modern world where the magic of reality is hidden behind secret societies, and where it only benefits the few. Where the anomalous become a part of life, and things or people like me aren't hated for what we couldn't choose.” Nau said, seemingly agreeing with what I said. A moment later she laughs in a way similar to that of someone who's lost it all. She sighs, and suddenly begins to hum a tune.
“La, lala, lala, lala, La, lala, lala, lala.” Suddenly snow began to fall as she continued to hum the tune. Whilst humming the tone, she looked upon the skies only to see snow began to fall.
“Beautiful isn't it?” she said, before continuing to hum the tune. I looked upon the snowfall. Whilst looking at it, it reminded me of my childhood. It felt whimsical. Reminding me of a nostalgic time. Made me feel like a kid again. I chuckled. I then took off my mask temporarily. Out of habit I stuck out my tongue, jokingly yet seriously wanting my life to return to a more nostalgic time. Right after that wore it back on.
“That's magic. Specifically sympathy magic. Where music is a part of the casting process of magic. Where it uses emotions from music to cast magic and embues the emotions on reality. Often it is called another thing.”
“The magic of the scene.” I then swallowed the snow, making me feel somber, and carthertic.
“You can feel it too. The magic can make you feel…..”
“What the caster feels.”
“To why God made it as it is. He only said to us is experience without emotion is hollow and refused to elaborate. To this day we still don't know what that means. The living reality is really cryptic. The eternal monarch. Often he explains things through poetry, and references in history. Even if we only knew that history thanks to him. He oftens say the sweetness of reality is found in the sobering and emotional experiences.”
“Is there really a God? If so why didn't he just try to fix it all? Isn't God supposed to be benevolent?” She laughed at my words.
“More like a spectator. He tried to be benevolent but it only led to more problems. So he let it all be. When he tried to fix everything it only led to more suffering.”
“No matter what he did, the old civilization he so cherished so much crumbled to dust. In a world where God exist he is powerless to the consequences of his actions. Everything has consequences. Whether he liked it or not. That's just how reality is. Despite having sway on reality, it still had some consequences that one cannot undo lest more consequences come. The story of the eternal monarch, and the God inside the machine is quite tragic. Two lovers broken by the world that cared nothing about them.” She laughs again whilst trying not to cry.
“tsk. Hahahhaahha!”
“What's so funny?”
“It's so ironic. Gods who symbolized omnipotence towards reality broken by the thing they lorded over. They are the embodiments of concepts. Yet the concepts they embodied and lorded over still held sway on their lives.”
“No matter who you are. Reality shows no mercy.” Suddenly she started to cry, and laugh at the same time. Seeing her like this made me feel bad for her. What made her into this? What broke her to this point? The whole thing was both awkward and cathartic.
“Want a hug?” I offered.
“Sure…. Hahahhahah!” She said whilst laughing, and crying. I hugged her. When Nau noticed it, she caressed my hair. It was an awkward two minutes before she talked normally again.
“Um…. I'm sorry…. I kinda said too much…” tears fell on my head, and I let go.
“Feel better?” I asked, and she nodded whilst snickering to herself similar to that of someone laughing to seeing something so absurd.
“If you want you can always cry on my shoulders.” I offered her. She smiled, and looked upon the azure skies.
“Fine…” She smiles, she then jokingly leaned on my shoulder whilst driving. I started to sweat bullets from it. Nau quickly lifted her head from my shoulders, and focused on the road, smiling as she did it. For the next 13 minutes we sat there in silence until we arrived at Kashuna.
Towers adorned the horizon. Towers that would dwarf the burj khalifa adorned the surrounding. Shops littered the streets selling food, appliances, etc. And people of multiple species walked around side by side, along with humans and humanoid constructs. Robots that looked human but clearly distinct by the way their body is constructed. Some had prosthetic looking bodies akin to that of something you'd see in cyberpunk or the original ghost in the shell. There's also some constructs that had ears or limbs similar to that of earth animals. Most I'd see was ears and tails similar to that of fluffy animals. Some even had prosthetics with sharp looking nails. The attires were even more of a hodgepodge of different cultures, and ethnicities. Some wore traditional Chinese attire, some Hindu, some east Asian, some south east Asian, some Russian, some European, and some modern American. The sight in front of me was interesting.
“What's with them?” I asked, finally breaking the 13 minute long silence.
“Oh the constructs? Those are humans put into homunculus. Souls who has been extracted from their body using magic to be put in bodies they desired. They're often called transhuman but are generally used for warfare or fun. Often homunculi are used in order to kill those who are immortal in a sense. Even if their body dies the soul escapes, and basically makes a new body within days thus causing the perpetrator to live Scot free. Basically just executioners in a law enforcement sense. Only something dead is allowed to kill or shatter a soul to the point of destruction. These people are either dead nor alive but technically dead. Biologically speaking they are just echoes. Echoes of memories of those that died. Lingering spirits who's will is strong enough to linger and have a sentience of their own akin of that of the living. That's just how the world works. It's the reason why could even fight against incursions and rainfall events in the first place. But those who die in these events generally have their souls shattered. Unable to be retrieved or pass on into the dark forest. The after life where the dead lie stuck in a world where they can experience the life they couldn't experience for eternity. But sometimes it causes the soul to go insane. Thus tries to break out but loses their humanity or sentience in the process.”
“But if that exists why didn't just anyone try to destroy it?”
“God doesn't want to. The story of the broken God explains why he doesn't want to. He keeps clinging into the past. Whenever damage is caused to that plane he would always try to repair it. Even if it's completely destroyed he still recreates it. Even caused the destruction of that species. Historically speaking that has happened three times. Three species wiped off.”
“Why don't we just kill him?” She laughed before pausing, and answering my absurd question.
“A species tried that only for him to come back, and destroy said civilization.” Oh….
“Yet we still respect him. Despite him creating a place where we all end up, and go insane eventually it's not entirely a bad thing. It's just people generally go insane if stuck there in a long amount of time. It's just an unfortunate side effect. It's all for a good cause. It's not his fault for that. No matter what he did. He even modified souls multiple times yet everytime they would go insane sooner or later. It's just the consequences. But the means justifies the ends for him.”
“We have no say on what he does just as he has no say on what we do.”
“The monarch was always a tragic figure. An idealist, and an idiot. And we love him for it.” She snickered whilst saying that last line. A few moments later she stopped, and parked the car. Nau then pulled out her phone, and started to do something with it.
“Well let's go the venue. You'll love what your going to see.” She said, smiling at me as she said that, it made my heart melt. I left the car, and she held my hand making me flustered. The both of us walked towards the parade whilst holding hands. When we finally arrived there, a large amount of people gathered around guard rails. Five minutes later the sound of drums, and people singing echoed around the block.
“Why can't we be friends?” <4x!> The sound of multiple accents singing echoed through the air. Suddenly on the skies a rainbow appeared. Is this the same magic Nau described and used?
Also are they singing why can't we be friends?
“I seen you around for a long, long time I remembered you when you drank my wine!” Humans wearing cloaks, and gasmask wearing UN insignias and another faction with an insignia of a flaming torch sang together laughing and smiling under the masks. Something you can notice by the way their eyes look.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!> The people around me smiled, and laughed enjoying the parade.
“I seen you walking down in Chinatown I call you but you could not look around!” A bunch of people with thick Chinese accents sang together.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“I pay my money to the welfare line I see you standing in it every time!” Some soldiers with thick Louisianian, Texan, and New Yorker accents sang together making me chuckle. The differing accents made it so funny for me.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“The color of your skin don't matter to me As long as we can live in harmony!” People with Russian, Chinese, British, Indian, French, and American accents sang together.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“I'd kinda like to be the president So I can show you how your money's spent!” A bunch of American soldiers sang together, trying their best not to laugh.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“Sometimes I don't speak right But yet I know what I'm talking about!” A bunch of soldiers with thick Russian accents sang making the scene even more funnier.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“I know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the mafia!”
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“Why can't we be friends? I want to be your friend. Why can't we be friends? I want to be your friend.”
“Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?”
“WOOOHOOOO!!!” The crowd around me cheered with a round of applause. Seemingly enjoying the performance of the army. Next above us a squadron of giant mechs flew by, seemingly partaking of the festivities. A moment later the squadron of high flying mechs fired a barrage of confetti. A moment later another squadron dropped a few mechanized spider unit with artillery strapped to it. Some sort of robotic quadrupedal tank. It's eyes glowed blue as it activated.
“Yes! Chaikovsky baby!” An alien speaking English said. The crowd cheered on. A moment later a symphony started and a bunch of constructs holding instruments gathered on the streets and started to play chaikovsky’s 1812 overture. The constructs marched to the beat for the whole durations. The people enjoyed their performance.
Suddenly the guns on the mechanized units fired as the iconic part of The 1812 overture played. The sound of artillery echoed as the units fired their guns. Thankfully it was just blanks, and didn't shower us with broken glass shards. The people cheered even more as they saw the artillery on the mechanized spiders fired.
The sound of people cheering drowned my ears with tinnitus almost deafening me. Right beside me Nau was enjoying the show. A genuine smile plastered on her face. Right after this the performance marched further, and further into the city. She tugged on my hand, wanting me to come with her to follow the parade.
The next performance was another song. But unlike the last songs it was sobering.
“This one is for our fallen. To those who've died in our war against those that threaten our ways of life.” A moment later a piano, and violins started to play.
A beautiful looking construct appeared amidst the formation of musicians. “It only takes one lone soul, it only takes one in a thousand.” Oh.. oh I remember this song! This was tranquility! I heard it from an anime I used to watch during my teenage years. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These. The legends of the galactic heroes. Gosh. That's a throwback….
“No, that's not bravery
As children we learn it's wrong
To put out the light of another
Our innocence lost over time
A means to an end” Hearing those words felt so healing. It put me both in a good and cathartic mood. It felt like my soul was being soothed.
“It's hard to hold your head up high, But we must try” suddenly the banging of bass dropped. Two beats, next one beat. It repeated.
“Sway together in the dark It's supposed to be,
'Cause I want to know the end And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child, The heart of your enemy”
“My heart to heart with the light And we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky Thinking why they have to die!
Just face to face we can hear A voice telling us it's wrong.
Counting the stars in the sky It was like a lullaby.”
“For sunsets I'll break the rules We learnt playing down in the heather
The secrets behind all the veils We just use other words
For freedom we make our charge For friendship we bare down on others
Can't one of you just calculate Tranquility?”
“It's hard to hold your head up high But we must try”
“Ah, ah, Ah, ah, Ah, ah”
“Sway together in the dark It's supposed to be
'Cause I want to know the end And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child The heart of your enemy”
“Sway together in the dark It's supposed to be
'Cause I want to know the end And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child The heart of your enemy”
“My heart to heart with the light And we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky Thinking why they have to die!
Just face to face we can hear A voice telling us it's wrong
Counting the stars in the sky It was like a lullaby….” The crowd cheered at the performance given to them. The performer bowed, smiling doing so. I was left speechless as the music made me feel so emotionally vulnerable. Yet it felt so good. It's a paradox. I then looked at Nau who was shedding tears at the performance. Right after this the music changed, and they started to march towards the final destination. Right now they were singing uptown funk and it started raining moonshine, and booze. The surrounding felt so funky, and lively whilst the song played. I took off my mask quickly, and gathered some drops of rain to taste. It literally tasted like beer, and a bit of moonshine.
Nau then pulled my arms, and followed the parade. Under the mask I smiled. I followed her. Whilst following the parade I saw one of the hatches of those spider mechanized units open only to see a person crawl off it. The person eerily looked like my father but the difference was his more grizzled face, and a scar on the left eye. He wore some sort of general or officer's uniform with a patch similar to those people wearing the torch insignia's. Looking closer the doppelganger had a more robotic body so it can't be him. He's probably just a look a like. Suddenly the person looked around, and eyed me directly. Looking surprised when he saw me. Suddenly his face turned to both anger, and pity. Like I just pissed him off like I reminded him of something. When our eyes locked at each other I could see his eyes burn with a fiery azure passion when he saw me. He then tried to pull something out of his pocket but stopped. Suddenly he muttered something. He then looked away, and crawled back into the unit.
After a while the parade finally arrived at the destination. The press gathered around the venue seemingly like someone important was going to make an appearance. Currently we were in front of an arena. But unlike your normal arena this one dwarved even the Olympic stadiums. It looks like some sort of simulation arena for wargames. Something akin to the tank triathlon which is held in large open fields where tank crews and commanders outmaneuver each other with their expertise, and tanks. NATO holds them, even the Northern Russian Artic Parliament (N.R.A.P) holds them.
“Hey! Nau! Over here!” Someone shouted amidst the crowd. I looked around only to be dragged by her. When she finally stopped someone greeted me.
“Well if isn't Kyruger. Long time no see.” A woman a little higher than Nau, and much more younger greeted me. She had light green hair, pristine almost gemstone looking skin that was almost transparent, with the same greenish eyes, but unlike her sister she was quite petite.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“Oh yeah you must've forgot. Well I'm Catherine. You used to hang out with my older sister back in the day. You're quite a lucky guy. Big sis over here wai-” suddenly Nau covered her mouth.
“Shut it.” Cath gulped, and slowly nodded seemingly afraid of her older sister.
“Well How long have you, and my sister been dating?” She asked, and suddenly Nau elbowed me in the side. Ow that hurt.
“Well… For 5 months before she brought me here.” I lied, and Nau smiled maliciously. Oddly enough I was turned on by that smile. A moment later the speakers roared to life as someone was trying to make a speech.
“Hello our galactic neighbors. Hello, I Am G-4 Able. I'm quite honored to talk to you today. It's our 57th year since we were able to colonize a place, and our debut as regional power and a year after the armistice between the coalition, and the initiative. As you know the current affairs in human controlled territory between the coalition, and the initiative has warmed up. This parade has shown despite our differences we can still arrive at an agreement. Although in recent times the directive of the initiative has slowly changed. From multiple Borsch reactor meltdowns in Kazakhstan, and some parts in the Caucasus due to governmental mismanagement. I hereby rewrite the main directive of the initiative. Alongside the coalition our main directive has changed. From protecting the veil, to protecting what normalcy is left. I know. I know.” The people around us talked seemingly enamored by the local geopolitics of humans. I was also interested since this was world charging news.
“Humanity has always tried to suppress the knowledge of the anomalous but right now there are pressing matters. Keeping the veil is useless especially in the current information age that we found ourselves in. You already know that considering the Serpent's Maw leaks information about the anomalous. Currently A.I can't stop the spread of information, and unfortunately it has caused widespread confusion, and chaos in Earth. The Artic Parliament has already started to show signs of collapse, and eastern Europe has already fallen to widespread protests calling for freedom of information acts. To the foreign dignitaries I must ask you all for assistance in speeding up Project Dawn. Currently Project Dawn is nearly complete but it would take 3 more months for the civilian ships are made. And the other G-11 council members are currently worried that if we tried evacuating some parts of earth using military craft it would cause widespread chaos. Essentially causing confusion, and riots as barely anyone knows what's happening causing more casualties than needed.” Suddenly more people around me started to get worried.
“Shit. That's a bad thing….. the more people killed the more likely another large scale rainfall event happens.” I heard one of the people on the crowd say.
The skies suddenly reddened, and an unnatural aurora borealis appeared amidst the former clear skies.
“SHIT! RAINFALL EVENT!” The crowd panicked, and a stampede happened. People pushed each other killing some civilians in order to hide themselves from this ‘Rainfall event’.
“ATTENTION ALL INITIATIVE PERSONNEL! ACTIVE RAINFALL EVENT HAS BEEN DETECTED. CULL THE SIRENS! I REPEAT CULL THE SIRENS!” G-4 shouted through the speakers.
Around me, people pushed each other, afraid of what's to come. Some kept shouting, others crying, whilst some were trampled to death. Nau, and her sis were separated from me, whilst I was trampled.
My consciousness started to fade as people trampled over my body. Faintly I could hear the faint breaths of those who are being trampled to death. Some gasped for help, some cursed at the people that trampled them.
“Remember. Don't try to let yourself be seen by the sirens. Hide. Don't make a sound. Remember. Daddy loves you…” Dad ruffled my hair, and quickly rushed outside to distract the monsters outside. Before he left he locked the attic trapdoor. Gunshots echoed through the air.
"COME AT ME YOU SUICIDAL ECHOES! FUCK YOU!” Dad shouted.
Outside my father tried to fight off the creature made of azure liquids. Outside the demonic sounds of tormented souls screeching echoed. I looked out at the attic window, only to see him being swarmed by the azure monsters. Gunshot after gunshot he tried to fight them off.
"KILLL UUSSSSSSS!!!! PLEAAAASSSSEEEEEE!!!” When the gun finally ran out of ammo he quickly ran to try, and divert the monsters away from the house. But right after he tried this, the monsters lunged at him, and pinned him down, bludgeoning him. After a minute of struggle dad’s body went limp. Right after that happened the monsters threw up a viscous blue liquid, and shoved it to his throat. The moment this happened, his body convulsed, and he woke up. But unlike how he normally is, his eyes looked so depressed. He then laughed, and started to smash his head on the pavement only for him to heal the wounds. Suddenly he made a guttural roar.
“GRAAAAAHHHHHH!” A monster in the shape of my father screamed. Suddenly the monster that was formerly my father noticed me from the window, and made a B line towards me. I pointed a gun at the trapdoor. Footsteps echoed through the house. I stayed my best to stay silent but was found. The trapdoor shook as something tried to forcibly open it up. After a while of loud shaking the trapdoor finally broke. A bloodied head came through the door. The thing that was once my father now looked at me with a homicidal gaze. Both of our eyes locked with each other. He then made a guttural screech.
“D-don't come closer!” I shouted, my hands trembling. My child like hands shook as I was afraid, and didn't know what was happening. The figure’s eyes locked on to me, smiling creepily. A moment later the creature lunged at me. I pulled the trigger multiple times but the creature still mauled me even if it had taken lethal amounts of damage.
“Help….. me…..” As I was nearing my death, azure liquids leaked from the roof, and some of the liquid dropped into my mouth. The last thing I heard was something akin to glass shattering. Right after that my mind blacked out.
“When humans doubt God, they are considered to have independent selves...but what happens when a doll doubts its manufacturer?” I looked directly at the CCTV maliciously smiling at the fact that when mom sees this she would be distraught. She deserves it. She deserves all of the pain…. It was agonizing having your soul recreated. It was like being put together, and broken again. Over, and over. In the span of months. I was nothing but a doll to her. A doll to relive her nostalgia of the past. To relive a tragedy…
My dad pointed a gun on my jaw as per my request.
“Pull it.” I smiled as he pulled the trigger. A gunshot rang through the air. The last thing I saw was dad running away. His Human yet robotic like visage ran farther and farther from me. Smiling as the nightmare finally ended.
“I should've killed that bitch when I had the chance. Tsk. I should've known this would happen.” I groggily opened my eyes only to see the doppelganger of my dad pointing a gun at my head. He looked like he was ready to pull the trigger. I quickly got up, and tried to disarm him only to get shot in the liver. The parts of the gas mask I was wearing fell to the ground as what was left essentially is shattered from the stampede.
To my surprise I didn't bleed. He quickly grabbed a knife from a compartment in his arm, and tried to stab me in the neck. What the fuck.
My body quickly moved by its own, and disarmed him. I then tried to dislocate his arm. His metallic prosthetic arm showing cracks as I forcefully elbowed the prosthetic. He frowns.
Suddenly a gunshot rang through the air, and his shoulder fragmented.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL A CIVILIAN?! THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SIREN ATTACK! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL A CIVILIAN?!” I looked behind me only to see Nau holding a dragonov. She quickly fired another shot but was blocked by his knife.
“Tsk. You have nothing to do with this. Stop this foolishness.”
“What are you talking about?” He laughs. Whilst he was distracted I tried to get his gun but was quickly elbowed on the neck, numbing it, and making me feel nothing and unable to move. Nau clicked her tongue, and started to shoot him.
“Fine… I'll finish this later…”
“I'll free you from the nightmare….”
“Son.” He quickly ran away, but before he fully retreated he shot me in the left eye. Plastic, glass, and metal shattered, and scattered as the bullet ricochet. A large steel ding was heard because of this. Similar to that of a bullet hitting a steel target and ricocheting.
“Are you o-” she paused as she noticed the glass shards that shattered as my eyes were hit by the bullet fragments.
“I should've known…. Something wasn't right when I slipped some part of me inside of you.”
“Say what now?”
“Nothing.” She quickly tried to carry me but temporarily put me down to put the gun away. She quickly consumed the gun. Oddly enough I thought that was hot. I wish I was the gun….
God I'm starting to develop a vore fetish aren't I? Right after that she grabbed my shoulder, and piggyback carried me.
“Try your best to hang on to dear life, okay?” I faintly nodded. But as I nodded some sort of fluid flowed out of my left eye hole. Right after that my body started to heat up even more.
“Crap you're leaking coolant.” She quickly ripped part of her clothes and shoved those onto my left eye.
“Hang on. I'll try my best to get to a nearby evac zone.” Suddenly in the distance the same screams of the damned echoes through the air. She gritted her teeth, and started to run whilst carrying my body. Whilst she was running. I noticed it started to rain.
“Shit! Another rain!” She quickly threw something up, and grabbed it. Some sort of weapon’s case.
She continued running, but faintly you could almost hear the sound of flowing water akin to that of a flash flood.
“Crap!” She quickly let go of me, and opened the weapons case. When she opened it a giant slab of steel with a muzzle akin to that of a miniature railgun prototype I read about in some article by the BBC back in 2041. Out of her hand, a large cancerous growth appeared. A reddish growth that when it bursted, chunks of reddish mold, and liquid popped like a balloon covering me with what looks to be mucus or blood.

Chapter 1: Song of rainfall, and snow part 1.
Date: Feb 12th, 2046 9:23 AM/PCT Location: Proxima Centauri B, Outskirts of Kashuna, Capital of Proxima Centauri
“Hey! hey! Your local Global occult defense initiative recruiter here. The world is gonna get worse before it gets better. No seriously look around you. Around you, you are surrounded by Aliens, the occult, and things beyond comprehension that God made just for fun. It's our job to protect humanity from these world ending threats.” The video cuts to an event where the skies suddenly turn blood red mixed with an aurora borealis, fissures appear in the crimson skies, and azure liquids falling from the skies. When the droplets of the azure liquids drop into the ground they turned into horrific amalgamations of flesh, and liquids. The video cuts to a person being engulfed by the azure entities, and after a while the azure liquids suddenly disappears and the person who was engulfed by it started to laugh.
A moment later the body started to morph into another form, and was immediately lit up by humanoid robots with cold azure eyes. Some parts looked human. Mainly the head, and the body. The ears looked like headphones, the limbs looked so robotic or something akin to that of a prosthetics, and the eyes… Looks akin to that of the creature from the azure liquid. Seeing that sent shivers down my mind. Suddenly I felt like wanting to run away but didn't because I didn't want to fall off a jeep running at 60 miles per hour. But a second later I felt like my body was being broken apart. I don't know why but I just felt that way. In some part of me I felt somewhat disgusted at myself. Seemingly seeing myself as one of them.
A tear appeared on my face, making me feel dread as the video played. I don't know why… But it both made me sad, and angry. Like how I felt when I lost both mom, and dad. I shook my head and tried my best to ignore it. It's probably just my imagination or my mental instability. Yet something nagged at me like it wasn't. “Whether domestic or international. Do you really think we haven't suffered through the stars just to get here? Well if you know history then your answer is no, and you would be perfect for joining our local mobile task forces. Such as MTF Fox-2 The sneaky bastards.” Suddenly the screen cuts to footage of robotic soldiers in full optical camouflage uniforms gunning down some sort of ghost like apparitions. One of the apparitions looked like a giant orangutan that was given steroids, and was gunned down by a 70mm canon fire from a robotic construct that looked like a giant mechanical spider armed to the teeth with machine guns, and a main 150mm Howitzer, and a secondary 70mm flak. It's eyes glowed azure blue as it continued to gun down more of these apparitions.
“Um… Nau? Why does the local internet have military recruitment adds for humans? Like I bet the only people sent here are probably military personnel mostly, and some are researchers. So why is there military recruitment ads?” I asked curious about the reason this kind of ad was playing in this side of human controlled territory to try and distract myself from what I just saw and felt. If the UN was a conventional military then hiring soldiers from other nations or species would be out of the question.
“Well honestly K, you humans have been fighting off incursions for the last 5,000 years albiet in such smaller scales than what your normal species outside of the Orion arm does. It takes up a lot of man power to fight a prolonged war against wave incursions, and mutants from BEAR zones. To why you are fighting such draining conflicts? Well if I remember correctly a lot of these zones contain a lot of valuable resources to the point that fighting a large scale guerilla war would be worth the sacrifices. Not to even mention the main directive of the global occult defense initiative. To fight the things that bump in the night, and kill whatever things that threaten the safety, and veil of normalcy.”
“Their main motto is ‘We cull the things in the dark in order to live a normal life. We fight not for glory, profit, nor borders. We fight to keep normalcy.’ and sometimes this is just what they do. It takes a lot of manpower to contain things that can't be killed, to contain threats that might prove useful, to cull incursions, and to keep the veil of normalcy you know. Sometimes you need to outsource your recruiting from your target demographic. Think of it as a large scale version of the french foreign legion.”

Reverting memories…..
Welcome. Recreatant 01.
Project Snowfall. _^ :-P
-P.S remember. Mommy loves you K. Remember. Keep on living. No matter what happens. Even if the world drowns in rainfall.
Suddenly my mind started to feel light as it something has been lifted from my conscience.
“Kyruger you okay? You've been spacing out.”
“Yeah….. I'm fine.”
“What did I tell you?” She asked me.
“Umm….”
“Honestly I don't remember.”
“Well it's not like I'm letting you join them. Plus I wouldn't want you to disappear again.”
“We'll let's start to talk first. What do you remember?” I offered.
“How have you been Nau?” I smiled and looked at her, and I could faintly see her start to tear up as she stared back at me. For an honest second there I wanted to hug her but didn't because I wouldn't want us to both die. She's driving a buggy after all.
“Sure.” She said as she looked at the azure horizon whilst sighing. Currently the road we are driving is nothing but dust, and empty desert. As said by Nausica it would take 30 minutes to commute from the port to the capital. And currently we're traveling 80-90 miles per hour.
“Well. How do I put it…”
“I miss you Kyu. It's been lonely since you left.” She said whilst trying not to tear up. So.. your lonely. Just like me huh?
“How long has it been since I had…. a sincere connection….” She sighs before continuing.
“The past…. Twenty years has been rough to say the least. Everyone I met either hated me just because of my species or how I looked. Despite me trying my best to adapt….”
“People…. Still hated me….”
“Just like when we were kids…. “
“Just like when the neighbor’s kids used to belittle me just because of my hair color, and my eyes.”
“Despite me doing my best to be a good person, people still hated me for what I am. When I brought it up, or if someone knew they would avoid me. The only people that don't do that is people from my race, my sisters, and my S.T.A.L.K.E.R colleagues. Thanks to my race I couldn't get any job other than being a field agent outside of my species territory since the other species were reminded of the entities that came from the rainfall events everytime they saw us. Thus I worked for research institutes or secret societies as a freelance survey agent/S.T.A.L.K.E.R in B.E.A.R zones because of my species tolerance to Borsch radiation, and high survivability.” When I heard that, it made me feel bad for her. And quite honestly made me want to stick with her more out of pity.
“Want a hug?” I offered. She laughed.
“Sure after we arrive at the city.” She humored me.
“So how about you? What happened after you left?” She asked me. Now that I think about it. 4 years were a blur to me. All I remember was studying, and being alone most of the time. Other than that. The 4 years were basically trips.
“Well. My life went downhill. I followed my dream to be an astronaut and become an adventurer of the stars yet I failed. Everytime I tried to apply to NASA, they always rejected me. Years after years of applications rejected. Even though I both excelled in academics and physical fitness the agency still chose other candidates. After that I gave up. My heart couldn't bare it anymore. So I tried to work for other corporations. But was turned down every step of the way since I was either too good or my expectations were too high for what they were willing to pay for me. Most companies even tried to guilt trip me despite them offering me wages that would've barely keep me afloat. Thus I had no where else to go than to work at a government agency since it was the highest paying job, with great benefits I could find. Thus I worked at the FBI. The department of unusual incidents. Though my work was mostly doing debugging, fixing vulnerabilities, and sorting out papers every once in a while.”
“But everytime I sorted out papers they would give me some sort of pill that would make time fly for me. Honestly I don't remember much from those paper filings but it took a lot of time, and drained the hell out of me. It was tedious, with very strict deadlines. Eventually making me hate the bureaucracy since it wasn't in my pay grade to sort things out for them. There was a dedicated division for that but was severely understaffed. Even my division was severely understaffed. The only division that was fully staffed is the counter terrorism division which handled field operations. I don't really know much about the counter terrorism division, and the things I remembered are mostly they make arrests or investigate unusual incidents too unusual for even the other FBI departments.” I told her. Honestly thinking about it, the more I remembered the more I think I was miserable there. I couldn't help but sigh, and look at my hand.
“So that's why you posted those posts about your frustrations. You couldn't find any outlet, and decided to scream into the void.” She's….. right…..
I couldn't help thinking that I felt like my self deprecating humor was a way to cope. A way to voice out my frustration in humor.
“Heh…… your right…..”
“I couldn't find someone to talk to so I coped by other means. Making myself laugh whilst internally I was in turmoil at how frustrating my life was. Always burnt out, and devoid of the passion I wanted to work with.” Saying that made me feel… vulnerable…. Emotions of sadness, rage, and yet… happiness.
Sad about how my life was wasted, spiteful and rageful at how everything turned out, and happy that I had someone to be vulnerable with. Happy to talk it out without having a person to shove my self esteem out like some of the therapists I talked to. Happy that someone understood, and didn't immediately start to chew me down. Blaming me for the life I've lived even though I had no say with most of my life. In some ways some parts of therapy made me feel even worse.
Some part of me wanted to hug her…. yet I feel like it would be inappropriate. Hmm .. Now that I think about it…
I never opened up like this before. Some part of me was relieved that i was heard, another was insecure, seemingly paranoid that she'll just use me, and discard me the moment I had no use to her anymore. I don't know why that is… but it feels… just like it. Like I was some sort of doll being repaired over and over again by it's owner.
I shrugged. No point in dwelling in that. I have nothing waiting for me at home. No family, no friends…
Just crippling loneliness only alleviated by endless distractions, manic humor, and fake people hiding behind consumerism to alleviate the sense of meaninglessness brought by the modern world. God it feels so absurd. I feel like a stranger brought into another world where things are the same yet so different at the same time. I wonder. How whimsical are the other worlds? How is it different from the world I came from?
Aliens, humans all the same things. These are just people. Of a different species with different aspects, yet one aspect unites them all.
Self awareness, and sentience.
A deafening silence lingered in the air. Caused by my own words.
“I feel you. Despite the universe being filled with whimsy, and the occult. It's mundane. Absurd even in it's irony. Despite being whimsical, people want a mundane life. Makes you want to side with the anarchist coalition. But those are just idealists. Thinking that people want whimsy and freedom rather than safety, and stability.”
“I want to live in a world where I'm free. Free to choose whimsy, and fantasy rather than depressing, and devoid of passion replaced by the mundaneness of the modern world where the magic of reality is hidden behind secret societies, and where it only benefits the few. Where the anomalous become a part of life, and things or people like me aren't hated for what we couldn't choose.” Nau said, seemingly agreeing with what I said. A moment later she laughs in a way similar to that of someone who's lost it all. She sighs, and suddenly begins to hum a tune.
“La, lala, lala, lala, La, lala, lala, lala.” Suddenly snow began to fall as she continued to hum the tune. Whilst humming the tone, she looked upon the skies only to see snow began to fall.
“Beautiful isn't it?” she said, before continuing to hum the tune. I looked upon the snowfall. Whilst looking at it, it reminded me of my childhood. It felt whimsical. Reminding me of a nostalgic time. Made me feel like a kid again. I chuckled. I then took off my mask temporarily. Out of habit I stuck out my tongue, jokingly yet seriously wanting my life to return to a more nostalgic time. Right after that wore it back on.
“That's magic. Specifically sympathy magic. Where music is a part of the casting process of magic. Where it uses emotions from music to cast magic and embues the emotions on reality. Often it is called another thing.”
“The magic of the scene.” I then swallowed the snow, making me feel somber, and carthertic.
“You can feel it too. The magic can make you feel…..”
“What the caster feels.”
“To why God made it as it is. He only said to us is experience without emotion is hollow and refused to elaborate. To this day we still don't know what that means. The living reality is really cryptic. The eternal monarch. Often he explains things through poetry, and references in history. Even if we only knew that history thanks to him. He oftens say the sweetness of reality is found in the sobering and emotional experiences.”
“Is there really a God? If so why didn't he just try to fix it all? Isn't God supposed to be benevolent?” She laughed at my words.
“More like a spectator. He tried to be benevolent but it only led to more problems. So he let it all be. When he tried to fix everything it only led to more suffering.”
“No matter what he did, the old civilization he so cherished so much crumbled to dust. In a world where God exist he is powerless to the consequences of his actions. Everything has consequences. Whether he liked it or not. That's just how reality is. Despite having sway on reality, it still had some consequences that one cannot undo lest more consequences come. The story of the eternal monarch, and the God inside the machine is quite tragic. Two lovers broken by the world that cared nothing about them.” She laughs again whilst trying not to cry.
“tsk. Hahahhaahha!”
“What's so funny?”
“It's so ironic. Gods who symbolized omnipotence towards reality broken by the thing they lorded over. They are the embodiments of concepts. Yet the concepts they embodied and lorded over still held sway on their lives.”
“No matter who you are. Reality shows no mercy.” Suddenly she started to cry, and laugh at the same time. Seeing her like this made me feel bad for her. What made her into this? What broke her to this point? The whole thing was both awkward and cathartic.
“Want a hug?” I offered.
“Sure…. Hahahhahah!” She said whilst laughing, and crying. I hugged her. When Nau noticed it, she caressed my hair. It was an awkward two minutes before she talked normally again.
“Um…. I'm sorry…. I kinda said too much…” tears fell on my head, and I let go.
“Feel better?” I asked, and she nodded whilst snickering to herself similar to that of someone laughing to seeing something so absurd.
“If you want you can always cry on my shoulders.” I offered her. She smiled, and looked upon the azure skies.
“Fine…” She smiles, she then jokingly leaned on my shoulder whilst driving. I started to sweat bullets from it. Nau quickly lifted her head from my shoulders, and focused on the road, smiling as she did it. For the next 13 minutes we sat there in silence until we arrived at Kashuna.
Towers adorned the horizon. Towers that would dwarf the burj khalifa adorned the surrounding. Shops littered the streets selling food, appliances, etc. And people of multiple species walked around side by side, along with humans and humanoid constructs. Robots that looked human but clearly distinct by the way their body is constructed. Some had prosthetic looking bodies akin to that of something you'd see in cyberpunk or the original ghost in the shell. There's also some constructs that had ears or limbs similar to that of earth animals. Most I'd see was ears and tails similar to that of fluffy animals. Some even had prosthetics with sharp looking nails. The attires were even more of a hodgepodge of different cultures, and ethnicities. Some wore traditional Chinese attire, some Hindu, some east Asian, some south east Asian, some Russian, some European, and some modern American. The sight in front of me was interesting.
“What's with them?” I asked, finally breaking the 13 minute long silence.
“Oh the constructs? Those are humans put into homunculus. Souls who has been extracted from their body using magic to be put in bodies they desired. They're often called transhuman but are generally used for warfare or fun. Often homunculi are used in order to kill those who are immortal in a sense. Even if their body dies the soul escapes, and basically makes a new body within days thus causing the perpetrator to live Scot free. Basically just executioners in a law enforcement sense. Only something dead is allowed to kill or shatter a soul to the point of destruction. These people are either dead nor alive but technically dead. Biologically speaking they are just echoes. Echoes of memories of those that died. Lingering spirits who's will is strong enough to linger and have a sentience of their own akin of that of the living. That's just how the world works. It's the reason why could even fight against incursions and rainfall events in the first place. But those who die in these events generally have their souls shattered. Unable to be retrieved or pass on into the dark forest. The after life where the dead lie stuck in a world where they can experience the life they couldn't experience for eternity. But sometimes it causes the soul to go insane. Thus tries to break out but loses their humanity or sentience in the process.”
“But if that exists why didn't just anyone try to destroy it?”
“God doesn't want to. The story of the broken God explains why he doesn't want to. He keeps clinging into the past. Whenever damage is caused to that plane he would always try to repair it. Even if it's completely destroyed he still recreates it. Even caused the destruction of that species. Historically speaking that has happened three times. Three species wiped off.”
“Why don't we just kill him?” She laughed before pausing, and answering my absurd question.
“A species tried that only for him to come back, and destroy said civilization.” Oh….
“Yet we still respect him. Despite him creating a place where we all end up, and go insane eventually it's not entirely a bad thing. It's just people generally go insane if stuck there in a long amount of time. It's just an unfortunate side effect. It's all for a good cause. It's not his fault for that. No matter what he did. He even modified souls multiple times yet everytime they would go insane sooner or later. It's just the consequences. But the means justifies the ends for him.”
“We have no say on what he does just as he has no say on what we do.”
“The monarch was always a tragic figure. An idealist, and an idiot. And we love him for it.” She snickered whilst saying that last line. A few moments later she stopped, and parked the car. Nau then pulled out her phone, and started to do something with it.
“Well let's go the venue. You'll love what your going to see.” She said, smiling at me as she said that, it made my heart melt. I left the car, and she held my hand making me flustered. The both of us walked towards the parade whilst holding hands. When we finally arrived there, a large amount of people gathered around guard rails. Five minutes later the sound of drums, and people singing echoed around the block.
“Why can't we be friends?” <4x!> The sound of multiple accents singing echoed through the air. Suddenly on the skies a rainbow appeared. Is this the same magic Nau described and used?
Also are they singing why can't we be friends?
“I seen you around for a long, long time I remembered you when you drank my wine!” Humans wearing cloaks, and gasmask wearing UN insignias and another faction with an insignia of a flaming torch sang together laughing and smiling under the masks. Something you can notice by the way their eyes look.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!> The people around me smiled, and laughed enjoying the parade.
“I seen you walking down in Chinatown I call you but you could not look around!” A bunch of people with thick Chinese accents sang together.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“I pay my money to the welfare line I see you standing in it every time!” Some soldiers with thick Louisianian, Texan, and New Yorker accents sang together making me chuckle. The differing accents made it so funny for me.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“The color of your skin don't matter to me As long as we can live in harmony!” People with Russian, Chinese, British, Indian, French, and American accents sang together.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“I'd kinda like to be the president So I can show you how your money's spent!” A bunch of American soldiers sang together, trying their best not to laugh.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“Sometimes I don't speak right But yet I know what I'm talking about!” A bunch of soldiers with thick Russian accents sang making the scene even more funnier.
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“I know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the mafia!”
“Why can't we be friends?” <16x!>
“Why can't we be friends? I want to be your friend. Why can't we be friends? I want to be your friend.”
“Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?”
“WOOOHOOOO!!!” The crowd around me cheered with a round of applause. Seemingly enjoying the performance of the army. Next above us a squadron of giant mechs flew by, seemingly partaking of the festivities. A moment later the squadron of high flying mechs fired a barrage of confetti. A moment later another squadron dropped a few mechanized spider unit with artillery strapped to it. Some sort of robotic quadrupedal tank. It's eyes glowed blue as it activated.
“Yes! Chaikovsky baby!” An alien speaking English said. The crowd cheered on. A moment later a symphony started and a bunch of constructs holding instruments gathered on the streets and started to play chaikovsky’s 1812 overture. The constructs marched to the beat for the whole durations. The people enjoyed their performance.
Suddenly the guns on the mechanized units fired as the iconic part of The 1812 overture played. The sound of artillery echoed as the units fired their guns. Thankfully it was just blanks, and didn't shower us with broken glass shards. The people cheered even more as they saw the artillery on the mechanized spiders fired.
The sound of people cheering drowned my ears with tinnitus almost deafening me. Right beside me Nau was enjoying the show. A genuine smile plastered on her face. Right after this the performance marched further, and further into the city. She tugged on my hand, wanting me to come with her to follow the parade.
The next performance was another song. But unlike the last songs it was sobering.
“This one is for our fallen. To those who've died in our war against those that threaten our ways of life.” A moment later a piano, and violins started to play.
A beautiful looking construct appeared amidst the formation of musicians. “It only takes one lone soul, it only takes one in a thousand.” Oh.. oh I remember this song! This was tranquility! I heard it from an anime I used to watch during my teenage years. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These. The legends of the galactic heroes. Gosh. That's a throwback….
“No, that's not bravery
As children we learn it's wrong
To put out the light of another
Our innocence lost over time
A means to an end” Hearing those words felt so healing. It put me both in a good and cathartic mood. It felt like my soul was being soothed.
“It's hard to hold your head up high, But we must try” suddenly the banging of bass dropped. Two beats, next one beat. It repeated.
“Sway together in the dark It's supposed to be,
'Cause I want to know the end And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child, The heart of your enemy”
“My heart to heart with the light And we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky Thinking why they have to die!
Just face to face we can hear A voice telling us it's wrong.
Counting the stars in the sky It was like a lullaby.”
“For sunsets I'll break the rules We learnt playing down in the heather
The secrets behind all the veils We just use other words
For freedom we make our charge For friendship we bare down on others
Can't one of you just calculate Tranquility?”
“It's hard to hold your head up high But we must try”
“Ah, ah, Ah, ah, Ah, ah”
“Sway together in the dark It's supposed to be
'Cause I want to know the end And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child The heart of your enemy”
“Sway together in the dark It's supposed to be
'Cause I want to know the end And you never ever need to fight
But you're fighting everyday And I don't know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child The heart of your enemy”
“My heart to heart with the light And we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky Thinking why they have to die!
Just face to face we can hear A voice telling us it's wrong
Counting the stars in the sky It was like a lullaby….” The crowd cheered at the performance given to them. The performer bowed, smiling doing so. I was left speechless as the music made me feel so emotionally vulnerable. Yet it felt so good. It's a paradox. I then looked at Nau who was shedding tears at the performance. Right after this the music changed, and they started to march towards the final destination. Right now they were singing uptown funk and it started raining moonshine, and booze. The surrounding felt so funky, and lively whilst the song played. I took off my mask quickly, and gathered some drops of rain to taste. It literally tasted like beer, and a bit of moonshine.
Nau then pulled my arms, and followed the parade. Under the mask I smiled. I followed her. Whilst following the parade I saw one of the hatches of those spider mechanized units open only to see a person crawl off it. The person eerily looked like my father but the difference was his more grizzled face, and a scar on the left eye. He wore some sort of general or officer's uniform with a patch similar to those people wearing the torch insignia's. Looking closer the doppelganger had a more robotic body so it can't be him. He's probably just a look a like. Suddenly the person looked around, and eyed me directly. Looking surprised when he saw me. Suddenly his face turned to both anger, and pity. Like I just pissed him off like I reminded him of something. When our eyes locked at each other I could see his eyes burn with a fiery azure passion when he saw me. He then tried to pull something out of his pocket but stopped. Suddenly he muttered something. He then looked away, and crawled back into the unit.
After a while the parade finally arrived at the destination. The press gathered around the venue seemingly like someone important was going to make an appearance. Currently we were in front of an arena. But unlike your normal arena this one dwarved even the Olympic stadiums. It looks like some sort of simulation arena for wargames. Something akin to the tank triathlon which is held in large open fields where tank crews and commanders outmaneuver each other with their expertise, and tanks. NATO holds them, even the Northern Russian Artic Parliament (N.R.A.P) holds them.
“Hey! Nau! Over here!” Someone shouted amidst the crowd. I looked around only to be dragged by her. When she finally stopped someone greeted me.
“Well if isn't Kyruger. Long time no see.” A woman a little higher than Nau, and much more younger greeted me. She had light green hair, pristine almost gemstone looking skin that was almost transparent, with the same greenish eyes, but unlike her sister she was quite petite.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“Oh yeah you must've forgot. Well I'm Catherine. You used to hang out with my older sister back in the day. You're quite a lucky guy. Big sis over here wai-” suddenly Nau covered her mouth.
“Shut it.” Cath gulped, and slowly nodded seemingly afraid of her older sister.
“Well How long have you, and my sister been dating?” She asked, and suddenly Nau elbowed me in the side. Ow that hurt.
“Well… For 5 months before she brought me here.” I lied, and Nau smiled maliciously. Oddly enough I was turned on by that smile. A moment later the speakers roared to life as someone was trying to make a speech.
“Hello our galactic neighbors. Hello, I Am G-4 Able. I'm quite honored to talk to you today. It's our 57th year since we were able to colonize a place, and our debut as regional power and a year after the armistice between the coalition, and the initiative. As you know the current affairs in human controlled territory between the coalition, and the initiative has warmed up. This parade has shown despite our differences we can still arrive at an agreement. Although in recent times the directive of the initiative has slowly changed. From multiple Borsch reactor meltdowns in Kazakhstan, and some parts in the Caucasus due to governmental mismanagement. I hereby rewrite the main directive of the initiative. Alongside the coalition our main directive has changed. From protecting the veil, to protecting what normalcy is left. I know. I know.” The people around us talked seemingly enamored by the local geopolitics of humans. I was also interested since this was world charging news.
“Humanity has always tried to suppress the knowledge of the anomalous but right now there are pressing matters. Keeping the veil is useless especially in the current information age that we found ourselves in. You already know that considering the Serpent's Maw leaks information about the anomalous. Currently A.I can't stop the spread of information, and unfortunately it has caused widespread confusion, and chaos in Earth. The Artic Parliament has already started to show signs of collapse, and eastern Europe has already fallen to widespread protests calling for freedom of information acts. To the foreign dignitaries I must ask you all for assistance in speeding up Project Dawn. Currently Project Dawn is nearly complete but it would take 3 more months for the civilian ships are made. And the other G-11 council members are currently worried that if we tried evacuating some parts of earth using military craft it would cause widespread chaos. Essentially causing confusion, and riots as barely anyone knows what's happening causing more casualties than needed.” Suddenly more people around me started to get worried.
“Shit. That's a bad thing….. the more people killed the more likely another large scale rainfall event happens.” I heard one of the people on the crowd say.
The skies suddenly reddened, and an unnatural aurora borealis appeared amidst the former clear skies.
“SHIT! RAINFALL EVENT!” The crowd panicked, and a stampede happened. People pushed each other killing some civilians in order to hide themselves from this ‘Rainfall event’.
“ATTENTION ALL INITIATIVE PERSONNEL! ACTIVE RAINFALL EVENT HAS BEEN DETECTED. CULL THE SIRENS! I REPEAT CULL THE SIRENS!” G-4 shouted through the speakers.
Around me, people pushed each other, afraid of what's to come. Some kept shouting, others crying, whilst some were trampled to death. Nau, and her sis were separated from me, whilst I was trampled.
My consciousness started to fade as people trampled over my body. Faintly I could hear the faint breaths of those who are being trampled to death. Some gasped for help, some cursed at the people that trampled them.
"COME AT ME YOU SUICIDAL ECHOES! FUCK YOU!” Dad shouted.
Outside my father tried to fight off the creature made of azure liquids. Outside the demonic sounds of tormented souls screeching echoed. I looked out at the attic window, only to see him being swarmed by the azure monsters. Gunshot after gunshot he tried to fight them off.
"KILLL UUSSSSSSS!!!! PLEAAAASSSSEEEEEE!!!” When the gun finally ran out of ammo he quickly ran to try, and divert the monsters away from the house. But right after he tried this, the monsters lunged at him, and pinned him down, bludgeoning him. After a minute of struggle dad’s body went limp. Right after that happened the monsters threw up a viscous blue liquid, and shoved it to his throat. The moment this happened, his body convulsed, and he woke up. But unlike how he normally is, his eyes looked so depressed. He then laughed, and started to smash his head on the pavement only for him to heal the wounds. Suddenly he made a guttural roar.
“GRAAAAAHHHHHH!” A monster in the shape of my father screamed. Suddenly the monster that was formerly my father noticed me from the window, and made a B line towards me. I pointed a gun at the trapdoor. Footsteps echoed through the house. I stayed my best to stay silent but was found. The trapdoor shook as something tried to forcibly open it up. After a while of loud shaking the trapdoor finally broke. A bloodied head came through the door. The thing that was once my father now looked at me with a homicidal gaze. Both of our eyes locked with each other. He then made a guttural screech.
“D-don't come closer!” I shouted, my hands trembling. My child like hands shook as I was afraid, and didn't know what was happening. The figure’s eyes locked on to me, smiling creepily. A moment later the creature lunged at me. I pulled the trigger multiple times but the creature still mauled me even if it had taken lethal amounts of damage.
“Help….. me…..” As I was nearing my death, azure liquids leaked from the roof, and some of the liquid dropped into my mouth. The last thing I heard was something akin to glass shattering. Right after that my mind blacked out.
“When humans doubt God, they are considered to have independent selves...but what happens when a doll doubts its manufacturer?” I looked directly at the CCTV maliciously smiling at the fact that when mom sees this she would be distraught. She deserves it. She deserves all of the pain…. It was agonizing having your soul recreated. It was like being put together, and broken again. Over, and over. In the span of months. I was nothing but a doll to her. A doll to relive her nostalgia of the past. To relive a tragedy…
My dad pointed a gun on my jaw as per my request.
“Pull it.” I smiled as he pulled the trigger. A gunshot rang through the air. The last thing I saw was dad running away. His Human yet robotic like visage ran farther and farther from me. Smiling as the nightmare finally ended.
To my surprise I didn't bleed. He quickly grabbed a knife from a compartment in his arm, and tried to stab me in the neck. What the fuck.
My body quickly moved by its own, and disarmed him. I then tried to dislocate his arm. His metallic prosthetic arm showing cracks as I forcefully elbowed the prosthetic. He frowns.
Suddenly a gunshot rang through the air, and his shoulder fragmented.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL A CIVILIAN?! THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SIREN ATTACK! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL A CIVILIAN?!” I looked behind me only to see Nau holding a dragonov. She quickly fired another shot but was blocked by his knife.
“Tsk. You have nothing to do with this. Stop this foolishness.”
“What are you talking about?” He laughs. Whilst he was distracted I tried to get his gun but was quickly elbowed on the neck, numbing it, and making me feel nothing and unable to move. Nau clicked her tongue, and started to shoot him.
“Fine… I'll finish this later…”
“I'll free you from the nightmare….”
“Son.” He quickly ran away, but before he fully retreated he shot me in the left eye. Plastic, glass, and metal shattered, and scattered as the bullet ricochet. A large steel ding was heard because of this. Similar to that of a bullet hitting a steel target and ricocheting.
“Are you o-” she paused as she noticed the glass shards that shattered as my eyes were hit by the bullet fragments.
“I should've known…. Something wasn't right when I slipped some part of me inside of you.”
“Say what now?”
“Nothing.” She quickly tried to carry me but temporarily put me down to put the gun away. She quickly consumed the gun. Oddly enough I thought that was hot. I wish I was the gun….
God I'm starting to develop a vore fetish aren't I? Right after that she grabbed my shoulder, and piggyback carried me.
“Try your best to hang on to dear life, okay?” I faintly nodded. But as I nodded some sort of fluid flowed out of my left eye hole. Right after that my body started to heat up even more.
“Crap you're leaking coolant.” She quickly ripped part of her clothes and shoved those onto my left eye.
“Hang on. I'll try my best to get to a nearby evac zone.” Suddenly in the distance the same screams of the damned echoes through the air. She gritted her teeth, and started to run whilst carrying my body. Whilst she was running. I noticed it started to rain.
“Shit! Another rain!” She quickly threw something up, and grabbed it. Some sort of weapon’s case.
She continued running, but faintly you could almost hear the sound of flowing water akin to that of a flash flood.
“Crap!” She quickly let go of me, and opened the weapons case. When she opened it a giant slab of steel with a muzzle akin to that of a miniature railgun prototype I read about in some article by the BBC back in 2041. Out of her hand, a large cancerous growth appeared. A reddish growth that when it bursted, chunks of reddish mold, and liquid popped like a balloon covering me with what looks to be mucus or blood.
2024.06.08 06:55 happyevil Why load balancing is helpful especially in the early game
I've seen several posts about load balancing on this sub tend to get directed to "just make a manifold," and I'm here to say: You're beautiful and you should play the way that makes you happy.
Well, what makes me happy is a combination of optimization and arguing so here we go!
First, I highlight early game for a reason. Not that you CAN'T load balance late game. It's just that with fast belts, the manifolds fill faster and it is true that the space/build-time cost/benefit starts to narrow. However, I also feel like the advice to build manifolds is often coming from a position that forgets what it's like to need power NOW as you wait for your 1st or 2nd round of coal generators to fill on mk1 or 2 belts. It can take a while!
When you can only move stuff slowly, sometimes getting everything fed just right really does speed things along and it's worth a bit of space penalty. I especially find this true with power but it can help with other builds too! When you lack the late game mobility items to move mass quantity all over the place and just sink excess, splitting things efficiently CAN increase production. Time is the only true finite resource in this game after all!!!
Now I can't just post about load balancers here without some fun photos to look at right? None of these will be fancy mega-builds because we're still in the early game but constraints can be fun too.
Let's start simple. Lets say you want to make the typical 8 coal generator power plant. You only have mk2 belts and the last thing you want to do is risk running out of bio-fuel while it fills up. This is what most people imagine the starting form of a load balancer to be. Now, it does take up a fair bit of space but all your generators will power on, full-time, immediately and it's fairly simple to build.
Simple example #2: I only have 60 Iron ore available for making rods. I need 124 screw production to make my first two assemblers of rotors and reinforced plates. I want some leftover rods and screws too of course because I'm building all sorts of other stuff at the early stages. Under-clocking is an option but it comes with the space penalty of extra constructor + manifold parts and it also doesn't leave extra, not to mention it's assuming I've hunted a slug early to unlock it. I don't have smart splitters with overflow either (which would still take longer to back up). Well, a simple space efficient 1 -> 3 doubling back 2 into a merger. Will give me 20/min rods set aside to a container for use and 40 sent off to make 160 screw production. That's both assemblers fed and an inline container can capture the 36/min extra for me to use for the few things that need them. We can come back later and grab another 24 for a 2nd round of reinforced plating in a little bit when we stabilize our power and there will still be a little overflow for when we get around to making our rebar gun and so on.
Great but, this can't scale far can it? Well, lets revisit power! Like I said, I find my personal preference for load balancing is power because I don't want to wait for it to cascade, I want to get back to connecting my new factory right away. I want a 16 coal generator power plant now. I have 2x120/min of coal coming in (can't do 240 yet, only mk1 miner and mk2 belts). That load balancer sounds like it'll take up half the size of the plant! Not if we start getting creative! If we take our basic load balancing principal from example 1 and combine it with the vertical style of example 2. I present the vertically integrated 1->4 load balancer. Taking up less than 2x2 foundation space you can evenly load 8 coal generators (per side, with a final splitter at the generators). Very little running around building a giant splitting construct, you can do it fast from a tower without a blueprint (although it is blueprintable). Then when you power the whole thing on they're all at 100% efficiency the moment coal hits their intake. This style does require that your split is at least partially divisible by 2 but it makes things much cleaner.
You can also load balance using the belt speeds without looping back splitters too. For an overly simply example: Do you have cast screws making 50/min? It's nice not to have to build all the rods but that's also an awkward amount to feed the 60/min reinforced iron plate recipe. We could mess with clock speeds or, with 100/min from 2 constructors, we could just use 60/m speed belts on a smart splitter (or regular splitter off higher volume) and recombine the overflows for anything else we're doing.
Again, yes, this will only go so far before it becomes a bit crazy and late game with high volume logistics and high speed belts it starts losing value in most things that aren't radioactive. But I think load balancing removes a lot of the tedium and waiting around of the early game and I hope I've given you some inspiration!

This choke tube comes with a sleek, modern design that perfectly suits my needs. The Mobil choke style threads on this choke tube make it quick and easy to attach to my shotgun. This feature allows for easy installation and removal without any hassle. The extended flush design works seamlessly with my shotgun, providing a snug fit and enhanced performance. I am quite impressed with the 20-gauge gauge, which is perfect for my skeet shooting needs. While I've had a great experience with this Iver Johnson choke tube, I must admit that it can be a bit tough to remove sometimes. However, the trade-off for the secure fit is worth it in my opinion. If you're looking for a high-performance choke tube for your 20-gauge shotgun, you can't go wrong with this Iver Johnson Skeet mobil choke. 🔗Precision-Machined Stoeger Condor Choke Tube for Enhanced Pattern Densityhttps://preview.redd.it/1rsm11n0n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1795b1a43ffd9cb2499783edb3a49883180809a0 Imagine a crisp morning, the cold air on your face, and the feeling of anticipation as you take the first shot – this is the experience you get with the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube. As someone who loves testing high-quality hunting gear, I was eager to try this new addition to my arsenal. I installed the tube wrench-free and smooth, the promise of a perfect shot becoming more palpable. The first thing I noticed was the precision-machined, heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel; it felt solid in my hands, giving me confidence in its durability. The. 725 diameter tube offered a more dense pattern, and the Triple Shot Technology made every shot count. However, I also noticed the reduction of flyers, which was a pleasant surprise. Several times during the hunt, I found myself wishing for a little more range, but the 25% longer parallel section helped me to create tighter patterns and get those birds that others had missed. Although the product didn't come with a wrench, the wrench-less installation and quick removal was a game-changer for those on the move. Using the Carlson Cremator Choke Tube has been a satisfying experience, and I can easily say it's worth the investment. With its precise machining and high-quality materials, it has become a reliable companion in my hunting adventures. 🔗Premium Hunting Choke Tube for .410 Shotgunshttps://preview.redd.it/fne3ep01n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c2b834c55f9a6861e6a51753458550f2d5608fd The Primos Jellyhead TSS Mobile. 410 choke tube has been a game-changer in my turkey hunting adventures. At first, I was skeptical about the hype surrounding the TSS load, but once I tried it out, I couldn't believe the difference it made in my hunting success. The super-tight and evenly spread pattern of the TSS Jelly Head allowed me to land shots that I could have only dreamed of before. Installing and removing the choke tubes without any tools was a breeze, which made my life as a hunter a lot easier. I truly appreciate that the TSS choke tubes cater specifically to the TSS load, making my turkey hunting experience even more enjoyable. Despite the incredible results I've seen, there is one aspect of the TSS Jelly Head that I think could use improvement. The extended length, while convenient, tends to snag on branches and other foliage more often than the flush-mounted ones. However, this inconvenience is outweighed by the benefits of the TSS load and the incredible accuracy that the Jelly Head provides. Overall, the Primos TSS Jelly Head Choke Tubes are a must-have for any serious turkey hunter. Their accuracy and ease of use make them a worthy addition to any hunting arsenal. 🔗High-Quality Stoeger Condor Choke Tube Assembly for Better Performancehttps://preview.redd.it/vz8uusc1n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6582440738998ad9233c573408dc18f845c94235 When I first heard about the V-Twin Manufacturing Choke Tube Assembly, I knew I had to give it a try. I'm always on the lookout for ways to enhance my Stoeger Condor shotgun's performance, and this seemed like just the ticket. The installation process was a breeze, and I was impressed with how seamlessly it fit into my gun. The quality was top-notch, and it definitely met or even exceeded the OEM standards. I must say, the difference in the gun's performance was palpable. The gun felt smoother, and the shots were tighter and more controlled. However, one downside that I noticed was that it made the gun a bit louder than it used to be. But all things considered, the benefits definitely outweighed the noise. Overall, I highly recommend this product for any Stoeger Condor user looking to bump up their gun's performance. 🔗Stoeger Condor Full Choke Tube with .590 Diameterhttps://preview.redd.it/72scg1r1n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90e65dfb5f37a728c9666bc048b30b1b86dce370 I've been using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush for a while now, and it has certainly met my expectations. The full choke construction and the. 590 diameter proved to be quite reliable when using steel shot. It's been a game-changer for me, especially when going for long-range shots. The best part is that it's compatible with quite a few shotguns, including Stoeger Condor Tube. Of course, there are always a few things I wish were different. For one, the steel and stainless design could use a little more durability. I've had some issues with it wearing out over time. Also, while the full choke does a good job with a wide range of shots, I've found that it could use a little more precision for the really tight shots. But overall, despite those minor issues, I've had a great experience using Carlsons Choke Tube Flush in my daily life. It's a solid addition to any hunting arsenal, especially if you're looking for a reliable full choke that works well with steel shot. 🔗Iver Johnson 20ga. Extended Stainless Steel Choke Tube for Flush or Extended Thread Patternhttps://preview.redd.it/z5l3gf12n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=350950a0320b76c9d1740da400451d01f9a3e54d I recently gave Iver Johnson's Choke Tube 20ga a shot during my daily shooting practice. I was initially drawn to its sleek, extended stainless steel design and the improved cylinder mobil choke. It worked wonders on my Stoeger Condor. The choke tube was incredibly easy to install, and I appreciated the MOBIL thread pattern that ensured a tight, secure fit. Not only did it offer a reliable performance, but it also allowed for great versatility, perfect for adjusting my shot pattern to fit different targets. However, one downside I encountered was the choke tube's tendency to get quite hot, especially during extended shooting sessions. It might be worth considering a heat-resistant material for future designs. Overall, Iver Johnson's Choke Tube 20ga proved to be a game-changer for my Stoeger Condor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their shooting experience. 🔗Stoeger M3000 Optima Choke Tube for 12GA Shotgunshttps://preview.redd.it/59gr1zf2n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1841692c6d95767db873fc21fa82210b815a15b1 A few weeks ago, I decided to give the Optima Choke Tube for my Stoeger M3000 a try. I was impressed with its sleek, elongated cone design, which seemed to minimize pellet deformation and improve my shot patterns. The tube was simple to install and fit effortlessly on my 12-gauge shotgun. However, I noticed that the tube was slightly harder to remove than some conventional choke tubes I've used. Despite this minor inconvenience, the Optima Choke Tube delivered impressive performance, improving the accuracy and consistency of my shots. It's definitely a worthy investment for any hunting or sport enthusiast looking to enhance their shotgun's performance. Overall, I'd say the pros outweigh the cons with this choice. 🔗Protective Choke Tube Case for Beretta Shotshell (Extended, Clear)https://preview.redd.it/lfvzjvs2n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2bcec07e795de8c372a41c9789a9edf00de2ffb I recently had the chance to try out the Beretta Choke Tube Case for a. 75" extended choke tube, and let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations. This case is designed to protect your choke tube from any damage that might occur in the bottom of your range bag. Its lightweight and durable materials not only make it long-lasting, but also easy to carry around. One feature I particularly appreciated was the colorless tube, which allows you to quickly identify the correct choke tube without having to remove it from the case. This case is an excellent addition to the Beretta line, as not only is it made in a medium size, but it also comes in at a convenient 3.74 inches long. However, there's room for improvement in the user experience. The dimensions of 1.25 X 3.80 X 6.35 inches might seem a bit too bulky for some, and the case can be quite heavy when filled with choke tubes. Nonetheless, overall, the Beretta Choke Tube Case has been a valuable addition to my gun storage and organization system, and I highly recommend it for anyone in need of a reliable choke tube case. 🔗Durable Molded EVA Choke Tube Case for Shotgunshttps://preview.redd.it/rrkrln83n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49b774ee36ee9af173f114c748f7061a096dd896 I recently had the chance to try out the Allen Competitor Choke Tube Case in my daily life as a skeet and trap shooter, and I must say, it's been a game-changer when it comes to organizing and protecting my choke tubes. The molded EVA material not only keeps them safe but also feels comfortable and secure when I'm on the go. The case itself can hold up to six choke tubes and comes with three extended size choke tube vials, making it an ideal companion for any shooting enthusiast. One feature that really impressed me was the removable zip pocket and middle divider, which allowed me to easily store and organize my choke tube wrenches and other small accessories. The attached web loop also made it super convenient to attach to my belt, so I always had quick access to my choke tubes. However, I did encounter a minor issue when trying to fit it into my trusty Browning 725 case, as it was just a tad too thick. But don't worry, I simply removed the detachable component and used it for holding the additional items included with my shotgun, and I'm now using a separate Allen choke case for my spares. Overall, the Allen Competitor Choke Tube Case is a reliable and convenient solution for keeping your choke tubes well-protected and within easy reach. Its capacity, storage compartments, and user-friendly attachments make it a worthy addition to any shooter's arsenal. 🔗High-Performance Extended Choke Tube Case for Power Supply Filteringhttps://preview.redd.it/pfn8dgj3n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dc6751d116634d9b9aaadf8f349441ef899712b Recently, I had the opportunity to try out a Hammond 193L Filter Choke in my daily life. As an audiophile, I've always been on the lookout for products that can improve the quality of the sound coming through my speakers. This filter choke caught my eye due to its promise of reducing line noise and improving high-end audio systems. The Hammond 193L Filter Choke is a compact, enclosed unit that is designed to be used as an AC line stabilizer. It works by creating an additional circuit between the line and neutral wires, thus reducing the line noise and improving the overall audio quality. The choke itself is rated for 300mA of DC current and 5H of inductance, making it a versatile and powerful device. One of the things that stood out to me was the build quality of the choke. It's vacuum impregnated with polyurethane varnish, ensuring a long and quiet life operation. The choke also features a tolerance of 15% on both inductance and resistance, which means it can handle a wide range of currents without causing any issues. In my experience, using the Hammond 193L Filter Choke as an AC line stabilizer certainly did improve the sound quality of my high-end audio system. The reduction in line noise was noticeable, and I could hear the difference in the clarity of the sound. However, I did find that tweaking the position of the choke and experimenting with different settings did have some effect on the overall sound quality. Despite the occasional minor adjustment required, I would still highly recommend the Hammond 193L Filter Choke to anyone looking to improve their audio system's sound quality. It's an affordable and effective solution that, while not perfect, certainly does the job well. 🔗Extended .410 Gauge Cylinder Mobil Choke Tubehttps://preview.redd.it/51znw704n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c03c83c666398f9b668636a6d6b31cd4b70bcfe5 I recently had the chance to try out the Iver Johnson Choke Tube. 410 and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my shooting experience. The extended stainless steel design really sets it apart from other choke tubes. I've noticed a significant improvement in my accuracy and precision with this choke tube. One of the most impressive features is its ability to work with various shotguns, thanks to the Mobil thread pattern. It's a great fit for my shotgun and has made a world of difference in how I handle it. However, I did notice that it can be a bit tricky to install and remove at times, which is a minor drawback. Overall, the Iver Johnson Choke Tube. 410 is a reliable and effective choice for any. 410 shotgun enthusiast. It's worth the investment if you're looking for improved accuracy and precision in your shooting. 🔗Adjustable Poster Tube for Art & Document Protectionhttps://preview.redd.it/olbkw1d4n95d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61ff1831182fc9a14f346e05e22588fb7e2c6357 I recently had the pleasure of using Mr. Pen's black extendable poster tube, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. Its high-quality material made it sturdy, perfect for a wide array of applications, from arts and crafts to sewing projects. The best part? The tube was not only durable and reliable, but also flexible, thanks to its extendable feature. Now, let me tell you about my experience using this poster tube. One sunny afternoon, I had my hands full of rolled-up prints, but no way to transport them without risking damage. That's when I decided to give Mr. Pen's tube a try. To my delight, it effortlessly held my posters, preventing them from getting creased or bent. What truly stood out was the adjustable strap, which allowed for hands-free carrying. The multiple ways to wear it also made it convenient for different situations. The screw cap closure was a nice touch, keeping my prints in pristine condition by ensuring airtight and watertight storage. The poster tube's extension feature was an added bonus, allowing me to adjust its length to fit my needs perfectly. With measurements of 25 inches before extension and 40 inches after full extension, it was more than capable of accommodating a variety of items, from posters and artworks to blueprints and maps. In conclusion, if you're looking for a reliable and versatile solution to store and transport your rolled-up items, Mr. Pen's poster tube is worth considering. It's an essential tool for anyone involved in arts, crafts, or sewing, offering durability and convenience all in one package.

2024.06.08 04:33 quinnpaine What would you guys think makes the perfect next subnautica game?
Personally, I think the game absolutely needs to re introduce the more vertical horror. As someone else mentioned somewhere else, BZ feels very lateral/horizontal, and the first games massive depth and almost emptiness was a very terrifying experience that was so integral to the first game.
I would like to see even deeper biomes with darker environments, without the massive bioluminescence of the grand reef when extremely deep. I think a wider vehicle range for specific environments could be nice, like some set for deep diving or some for resource gathering.
Overall, I think everyone could agree with me though when I'd say a big map would be best. The feeling of being so small and exposed in a vast ocean absolutely made the original game, and a larger map, with all aspects amplified could be a very interesting experience.
EDIT: Everyone made some very good points. Primarily, most people would like to see largedeeper maps, a return to the dark horror of SN1 rather than BZ, and two features that caught my attention, were automation in bases like processing materials and things, and requiring specialized tools/diving geavehicles to enter and effectively explore certain biomes. A heavy emphasis was put on a larger vehicle array, both having more vehicles and volumetrically larger ones. Some suggested an interesting feature like having to build decompression chambers as you go down into these further depths, as well as adding new mechanics to go along with that like suit integrity and different diving suits that affect pressure rather than only protection from the elements. There was a no mans sky-eqsue suggestion of having base "outposts" an important thing. Maybe research labs in certain biomes to be able to unlock certain blueprints, with a central base controlling the outposts/receiving data, or other useful functions.
Thanks for participating in the debate everyone! (Still open to comments)

2024.06.08 01:46 GetsThatBread Please Don't Buy Online Courses
I have worked in marketing for the past five years. Most of that time has been spent working for businesses selling online courses. I know what makes a good one and what makes a bad one and almost all of them are terrible. Beyond most online courses being terrible, any online course claiming to sell a blueprint for YouTube success is going to be complete garbage. Here's why:
Success of videos is heavily determined by a literal robot machine learning algorithm that makes millions of micro adjustments every single day. There has NEVER been a consistent secret to success of the YouTube. Even when it seems that a current style of video is trending, you are not seeing the insane over saturation of that exact style of content. I can guarantee you that at this point the data scientists at Google and YouTube couldn't even tell you what is going to be popular on a daily basis.
Just because one person grew a couple channels does not mean they are an authority on channel growth. If their course is even a month old, it's already outdated. No one can tell you the exact style of video to make and most YouTubers who are bold enough to sell a course are not likely to admit the degree of luck they had during their rise.
The exception to this rule are courses that teach video and sound editing, script writing, effective storytelling, thumbnail design, and data analysis. These hard skills are really important to creating quality content and should be learned by anyone looking to create a quality YouTube channel. Most of these skills can be easily learned on YouTube for free.
The reality is that you should be making the kind of content that makes you happy. The happiest YouTubers I see are the ones that treat their channels like an art gallery. They put effort into their videos and you get the sense that they would still be doing it if no one was watching. Blowing up immediately isn't always a good thing. It's much better to get traction on your channel when you have hours of binge worthy content for a new sub to enjoy.
Long story short: no one has the secret to success. Make content that you're proud of. Find enjoyable, steady employment. And if you end up blowing up then you can live the dream.

2024.06.07 22:21 Quantum_Object Meta Human technically T posing (almost) but not quite. - it's like a quarter of the way there, I have an image but cannot post it.
As title, I don't really know how to explain what I'm seeing.
Basically, I've rigged my MetaHuman to my third person character and it works, all the animations work as they should, it's compiled properly with no errors and there's no issues controlling it and moving it around.
The issue is, is when at standstill, it's arm's stay in a sort of upright position sort of, the upper arms are dropped properly but the forearms are raised about half way up with floppy hands pointed downwards and it looks really stupid. - I've compiled it again and done everything else again by re-tracing my steps but the issue still remains, I'm VERY new to blueprints only know the very basics.
Anyone know how I can solve it? - I'm new to unreal engine too and I'm not famillier with all the technicalities yet so I need some help in layman please?
Basically it works like the original manny but the arms aren't the same and don't sit naturally like the original manny's does.
Thanks!

2024.06.07 22:19 Medical_Officer Newbie question: why does my Ashura have two mod slots?
I crafted a T4 Ashura and it has 2 mod slots. I got the blueprint from the weapons vendor in the central district.
I thought this was normal until I used a console command to add the Yasha and noticed that it also has 2 mod slots despite the iconic characteristic being that it's supposed to have an extra mod slot, thus implying that vanilla Ashura should only have one mod slot, right?
I am using the "Suppressed Ashura" mod. But the second slot was still there even after I removed the mod file. I checked within the .yaml mod file and there's no mention of adding a mod slot. Also, there's no mention of this issue anywhere in the mod discussion on Nexus. So I really don't think it's the mod.
I have no other mods installed which would affect it either. None of my other weapons have extra mod slots.
So is there some XMOD2 version of the Ashura that I've stumbled upon? Help me understand! haha
