This is actually the first add-on idea I've been considering for SRB2 — yes, I was brainstorming this before I was brainstorming the Belnades Sisters. This is one of my very first Mario/Sonic OCs, and fair warning here, he's a bit OP. The character in question is Garcia… Garcia the Beanie Baby. Yes, I'm serious. (I'd have put up a link to Garcia's profile on Ty's website, but he's not there anymore.) Anyways, Garcia in my fanfics is a lot more than a teddy bear — he's a powerful pyrokinetic capable of giving Blaze a run for her money. So, here are some details on how he'd play.

• Default stats (36 top speed, 40 acceleration, 5 thrust factor, 96 accel start; run animation starts at 28 speed).
• Default jump height (100 fracunits).
• No spin-jump. Jumping into enemies will get Garcia hurt, and jumping on monitors won't break them.
• Garcia's passives will be listed first, since they have a rather dramatic influence on the rest of his moveset.
  • Passive: Fire Absorption: Garcia is completely immune to fire damage (flames, lava spouts, lava), etc.), as though he always had a Flame Shield. In fact, being exposed to fire allows Garcia to absorb it and power himself up, making his abilities stronger in a similar fashion to Surge's electric charge system (albeit not quite as dramatic in terms of (immediate) mobility). Absorbing fire grants Garcia 5 "flame charge points", which refresh to 5 on further exposure to fire, but otherwise wear off for each ability use or at a rate of 1 point per 5 seconds (though they will be continuously refreshed if Garcia is standing on a flame floor). While powered-up, Garcia has slightly higher run speed and jump height (38 top speed, 41 acceleration, 99 accel start, 110-fracunit max jump height) and can damage enemies and bosses by jumping into them or running into them at top speed, at the expense of 1 flame charge point per impact. Actually having a Flame or Elemental Shield will keep Garcia in a powered-up state with infinite flame charge points until he loses the shield or somehow switches to a different shield. And, yes, Garcia can absorb flames generated by other players who have an Elemental Shield or are playing as a character with fire-based abilities, such as Garcia himself, Blaze, Flame, or Hinote. Garcia is undoubtedly at his strongest in fire levels such as Red Volcano Zone, and can probably roflstomp Brak Eggman by absorbing his many flame-based attacks.
  • Passive: Water Weakness: Garcia's high attunement to the element of fire means that he struggles to function underwater. While underwater, his abilities are put in a powered-down state and are a bit less potent than normal. (If Garcia was powered up when he entered the water, he immediately loses the powered-up state, but enters a grace period where his abilities have their normal potency before powering down to the underwater version; the length of the grace period is however long his flame charge points would have lasted. Garcia does not get his powered-up state back if he exits the water before the grace period ends.) Garcia also has a shorter-than-usual air timer in water, which means that he drowns faster than most other characters and needs to find air more frequently to survive underwater sections. In short, Garcia really struggles in water levels, such as Deep Sea Zone or Azure Temple Zone. (Note that this only applies to water sectors; Garcia's abilities are not weakened and he does not suffocate any faster than anyone else in space sectors.) Absorbing fire underwater (for instance, the gargoyles in Azure Temple Zone) will just put Garcia in the grace period state, returning his abilities to normal potency until it wears off, but will not affect his air meter. Having an Elemental Shield overrides the water weakness and puts Garcia's abilities in the usual powered-up state.
• Air Action: Free Flight: Garcia is equipped with a jetpack, and he knows how to use it. (He technically doesn't even need the jetpack to fly, but this incarnation of the character is meant to be Garcia in his late teens, and he doesn't know that yet.) Pressing Jump in mid-air puts Garcia in a state similar to Knuckles' glide (complete with the ability to damage enemies by flying into them; this does not count as a fire attack, and is one of Garcia's few ways to damage other players who are also playing as Garcia or equipped with an Elemental or Flame shield in PVP modes), except with no wall-climbing, the ability to slowly ascend instead of descending by holding Spin, the ability to shift to a more vertical flight mode with lower horizontal movement but greater vertical movement (either rising into the air or diving towards the ground) by holding C3, and the ability to transition into a slower but more precise "combat flight mode" by pressing Fire. In combat flight mode, use the movement keys to move laterally, hold Jump to ascend, hold Spin to descend, or return to standard flight mode by pressing C3; there's something else that can be done in combat flight mode by pressing Fire, but I'll get to that later. While Garcia can literally fly around all day in my fanfics, for SRB2 gameplay purposes, to avoid completely snapping any semblance of challenge or level design in half, Garcia will only be able to fly for 8 seconds at a time before being forced out of flight mode and having to touch back down. The powered-up version of this ability lasts for up to 12 seconds, while the powered-down version lasts for up to 4 seconds.
• Garcia has three possible actions he can take by pressing Spin, depending on how fast he is moving when the button is pressed.
  • Spin (Ground, Stationary): Runner's Stance: Press Spin on the ground while standing completely still to make Garcia crouch down into a "ready to run" position. From here, you can press Jump to cancel, Spin to break into a run, or Fire to begin crawling. The run option will cause Garcia to start running at a speed of 21 (18 if powered down, 24 if powered-up), and will also generate a small explosion to damage nearby enemies with the powered-up version, but it is not a spin-dash; it can't pass through low openings and won't damage enemies that Garcia runs into unless he's powered up. It's simply a more effective way to accelerate than simply holding the movement keys (it's still arguably less effective than a Spin-Dash and certainly less effective than Sonic's thok). The crawl option allows Garcia to pass into low openings, but at the cost of losing a lot of momentum, as it takes about half a second for Garcia to remove his jetpack and begin crawling, and he moves slowly and is completely vulnerable to attack while crawling. Press Jump while crawling to stop crawling and have Garcia put his jetpack back on, which takes about half a second. The crawl allows Garcia to get into spin characters' routes if he absolutely has to, but he prefers the non-spin routes taken by Amy or Fang. He does have another way to get into spin routes that sacrifices less momentum, but it's a bit tricky to pull off…
  • Spin (Ground, Low Speed): Flame Pounce: Press Spin while moving on the ground at a speed of 28 or less (i.e. in a "walking" animation) to make Garcia execute a short hop (about 12 to 20 fracunits), then dive back to the ground with a leaping punch that can damage enemies, break monitors, and bust open breakable walls and floors (including the strong ones that only Knuckles, Amy, and Fang can break in the base game). Despite the name of the move, the punch is not a fire attack and can bypass immunity to fire damage. This is one of Garcia's main direct combat options on the ground (especially against fire-immune characters) and one of his main ways to get into non-spin routes, though it is somewhat short-ranged and can be tricky to aim. The powered-down version is mostly identical to the standard version, with the only differences being slightly longer startup, slower movement, and lower distance/range (I was tempted to not let it bust walls and floors, but then Garcia would be softlocked in DSZ 2 if he got to a certain point of the level without an Elemental Shield), while the powered-up version generates explosions on startup and touchdown, granting it a greater attack radius (note that the explosions do count as fire damage). The powered-up version also deals double damage, similar to Susie's Red Buster, but only if the punch itself connects rather than the explosions.
  • Spin (Ground, High Speed): Flame Slide: Press Spin on the ground while in the running animation (moving at a speed of 28 or higher) to make Garcia perform a slide-kick move similar to Kris'. This slide kick grants Garcia a burst of extra speed at the start that is then gradually lost over the course of the move until Garcia comes to a stop or cancels the slide and transitions back into a running state by pressing Jump. The slide kick can damage enemies and break monitors (and the slide kick itself doesn't count as fire damage), while also leaving a flame trail like the Elemental Shield's that is itself able to damage enemies, but it's a bit higher up off the ground than usual for this type of maneuver (since Garcia's wearing a jetpack), and thus can't get into tight spaces. However, it is possible to transition into a variant that can get into tight spaces by pressing Spin again during the slide. This will cause Garcia to hastily remove his jetpack and start carrying it, while also lowering himself further to the ground so that he can pass through tight spaces. However, Garcia still takes about half a second to remove the jetpack, the awkwardness of this maneuver will cause Garcia to start losing speed once the jetpack is off, pressing Jump in this state will cause Garcia to decelerate faster until he stops, and he'll need to pause for half a second to put the jetpack back on once he stops. This still allows Garcia to get through tight spaces without losing as much momentum as crawling, but it requires space to run as well as good planning and timing (due to the delay between pressing Spin the second time and actually being able to move through tight spaces) and still causes Garcia to lose speed at the end, so he still prefers to take non-spin routes. The powered-up version grants a greater burst of speed at the start, has a larger flame trail, generates explosions at the start, when canceled, and when transitioning into the pseudo-spin (once again, the explosions count as fire damage), and loses less speed during execution (especially in the pseudo-spin phase). The powered-down version grants less speed on initiation, has no flame trail, and loses speed faster.
• Spin (Air): Flame Pulse: Press Spin while in mid-air and not in flight mode to make Garcia envelop himself in a large fireball, which serves as his substitute for the spin-jump. This fireball lasts for 1 second. The fireball extends outwards for 50 fracunits around Garcia's position by default (though Garcia can only bounce off an enemy if they are a sturdy enemy such as a Lance-a-Bot or boss or he hits them from above); the powered-up version extends outward for 75 fracunits, while the powered-down version only extends outwards for 25 fracunits. Garcia can technically use this move in mid-air as much as he wants, but there is a 1-second cooldown between uses, which can be reset by hitting an enemy or touching the ground, which means that he only gets one usage per jump unless he's chaining attacks on enemies or jumping to a lower part of the level.
  • Garcia can't use shield actions. He doesn't really need them, what with the free flight and all, and some of them, like the Whirlwind Shield, would be a hindrance to his playstyle if they replaced his default air spin action due to forcing him to rely exclusively on his air action, grounded spin moves, or fireballs to fight.
• Fire: Throw Fireball: Garcia's main attack is generating fireballs and tossing them at enemies. (Yes, he has a ranged attack like Fang, he can accelerate quickly from a standstill, he can pummel enemies with melee attacks while moving around, and he can fly like some odd blend of Tails, Knuckles, and Silver. I did say he was a bit OP.) Press Fire to throw a fireball straight ahead or towards whatever your cursor is aiming at. (A Samus-style aim assist is being considered, particularly for third-person mode.) Fireballs deal standard damage and can be thrown at a rate of 1 fireball per 0.8 second. Garcia can throw fireballs while standing still, walking, running, jumping, or even while flying if you're in the combat flight mode (it might be hard to aim if you're moving fast, though). Fireballs have a max range of 400 fracunits and have a decently fast travel time. In Ringslinger modes, FireNormal is set to fireball-throwing, allowing Rings to be thrown with the Fire key. The powered-up version has two modes. The standard powered-up fireball is simply larger, travels faster and further, and has a shorter cooldown (0.6 second), but deals no extra damage; however, each fireball only costs half a flame charge point. Hold the Fire key for at least one second while powered up to throw a slower, but even larger and longer-ranged fireball that actually consists of one large fireball surrounded by a corona of ambient heat. The corona and the fireball itself can both separately strike the same enemy with good aim, allowing this version to effectively deal double damage (it bypasses the mercy invulnerability of sturdy enemies and bosses, but not other players, so sorry, but no one-shot-kills in PVP). This version costs a full flame charge point. The powered-down version is simply a smaller, slower, shorter-ranged, less spammable (1-second cooldown), and slightly weaker fireball (it deals 4/5 the damage of a basic attack, killing most enemies in 2 hits, a Lance-a-Bot in 3, and most bosses in 10); the smaller hitbox does make it slightly harder to score hits with, but the lower damage and firing rate are bigger problems. (Seriously, Garcia wants to stay out of water as much as possible.)

I posted an idea on Spectrum yesterday and I wanted to see what the Reddit community thought. I would like to hear what you guys think about my idea. Im not sure if I am allowed to post links, however, if anyone wants to check out the Spectrum post it shouldnt be hard to find.
Lets cut right to the chase. The Animus rocket launcher kinda sucks right now. We have rocket launcher systems built in 1958 (RPG 7) that function better than what we have in Star Citizen which takes place 930 years in the future. Our modern day shoulder fired systems can do some pretty amazing things whereas firing the Animus feels like shooting a potato cannon.
My proposal is to add a new rocket launcher that can fire size one missles. If using size one missles isnt feasable then new missles made for the launcher would have to be designed. The launcher would need to have missle types specifically for anti-personnel, anti-tank, and anti-air. This would be supplemented by three new backpacks that would be designed to carry spare missles which would be light, medium, and heavy.
The missle targeting system would lock on via a viewscreen that locks targets based on the missles seeker head type. These missle locks would not set off warnings in ships or vehicles until the missle is launched since the launcher does not have a tracking system like ships/vehicles. The launcher would also be able to launch in a flat trajectory without locking on to a target. It would also be great to have a new missle type for the launcher that works like a TOW missle and can be manually guided by the operator.
The launcher would be produced by Apocalypse Arms and would borrow the fire control group from their rail gun. The design would remove the magwell for the rail gun magazine as well as the gun rail propulsion system/barrel. This would be replaced with a missle launch rail and a small blast shield for the user and targeting system. The targeting screen would have a reticle that looked like a circle with horizontal and vertical lines coming out of it. The inside of the reticle would indicate where the missle would seek a target. The targeting pod would be able to zoom up to 16x.
The backpacks would carry extra ammo for the launcher and would have a capacity of one for a light backpack, two for a medium and three for a heavy.
The light pack would have a mount underneath the pack and would lay horizontally underneath similar to how hiking or military bags have a sleeping bag attatched. The medium would have the missles stored vertically in slots on the back of the pack near the center. The heavy backpack would also have the missles stored vertically like the medium pack. All of the packs would have a reduced interior carrying capacity due to the space taken up by the missle mounting system. These backpacks could store the missles many different ways, this is just what my brain comes up with.
This system would be a boon to gameplay giving players more options to effectively play the role of AT/AA without being too strong as well as giving the rocket launcher a proper role in the gameplay loop. Also players that do not have the ability to carry bulky AA/AT vehicles will have a decent option to takedown enemies. This weapon could be enhanced by adding missle storage slots to some ground vehicles. Doing so would encourage combined arms gameplay on the ground.
Thank you for reading this far, I hope you take my thoughts into consideration.
I would call the launcher the Recurve Launch System 7 or RLS7.

(Doctor Bekker is the Debbie Downer Doctor that thinks Nora will get cold feet in S3 E4).
My personal interpretation, from a non-religious non-magical scientifical point of view, is that the scientists are mostly right:

• A cosmic event happened that "transported" 2% of humans to a different place across time and space.
• However, there was no higher power or sentient entity behind the event. It was all random. Nobody was chosen based on morality, nobody was chosen on whether they eat a lot of cereal or not. It was just a random chance.
• More importantly, there is no Alternate Earth where the 2%, from their perspective, were left behind as 98% of humans vanished.
• The 2%, as Doctor Bekker says, just died since the place in space where they got transported didn't have the means to keep them alive.
• Chances are they didn't even get transported to a planet but instead just floated in space to die. Picture someone traveling back in time a few months but not taking into account Earth's rotation for their calculation: they would just arrive at the emptiness of space.
• The Seasons 2-3 opening with the vanished silhouettes being represented as stars in the cosmos is perhaps the biggest "in your face" sign in which the creators are telling us exactly where the vanished went.
• And the machine works, yes. And it sends people to the place in space/time where the 2% went. It is also a death sentence since they'll arrive just to die instantly in the vacuum of space.

Nora got cold feet in S3 E8. She never went through the machine. The machine wasn't a scam, no. But it was still a death sentence.
The story she told Kevin is just her own coping mechanism to deal with her trauma much like how Kevin's "Assassin Hotel Dimension" is a coping mechanism for him to deal with his.

Here's my situation: I have a 30-yr home mortgage of $730,000. It is a variable rate home loan, with a current interest rate of 5.7%. It has an offset facility, and my partner and I currently pay approximately $4200 in monthly repayments for principle and interest.
If I transferred $730,000 of my own money into the offset account (which is currently in term deposits earning an average of 4%, as the defensive part of my portfolio), what would my monthly repayments be? After speaking to my accountant, I was under the belief that I would effectively owe zero if I covered the owing amount in the offset, and would not have to make any monthly payments at all - I could park the money there for 30 years. My partner would then pay her share of the mortgage to me, so that I was still earning some kind of income off the money. In 30 years I pay it off, when $730k is worth much less than today.
However, I spoke to the bank, and they said that I would still have to make the monthly payments exactly the same as now ($4200), but it would pay off the principle instead of principle and interest.
Is this accurate? I could have sworn my accountant said I wouldn't have to make any repayments, so I'm waiting for clarification from her - though she's going to handball it to a FA to answer this as part of a SOA for $5k. I just want clarity on this one thing, so thought I'd ask you guys. I'm assuming the bank is correct... but you never know!

In PoE, I need 6 different monitors, a Wiki, a dedicated build app, a calculator, a telescope, a magnetometer, and a PHD in Quantum Mechanics and Engineering in order to enjoy the game.
In Diablo, I just need 1 monitor. I don’t need to know the alignment of the North Stars and the coordinates to Area 51 to craft something’s
It’s too simple. I don’t need a PHD to play. What will I ever do with my degree?
Diablo just came out and I expect it to have the same amount of depth as a game that’s been out for years.
I’m angry.

Hello everyone! I always wanted to tackle the Umineko games since visual novels are one of my favorite genres especially since it is said to be one of the best visual novels ever. After playing and loving games such as the House in Fata Morgana and 13 sentinels I have very high expectations even though the game is a huge undertaking considering it is around 150 hours. I went in as blind as possible with the only information being that the game is a murder mystery a la Agatha Christie.
I wanted to share my thoughts and opinions with you all since I personally love to see discussions about games that I love from people that are experiencing the game for the first time. This will also serve as some sort of chronicles of my experience with the game.
SPOILERS BELOW for episode 1 of the game.
I have been playing the game using the Umineko Project and I am glad I made that decision since the voice acting has enhanced the game for me and has definitely helped with the less interesting parts. Kenzo's voice and his ramblings about Beatrice in particular were a highlight of the chapter. I have seen that finding the game not very interesting until around the talk between the siblings with regards to Krauss' embezzlement of the fortune. It felt very much like I was watching an episode of succession. While the beginning was not too boring and I appreciated the good job it did in introducing the characters, the fight between the siblings was when the game griped me and did not let me go.
I truly did not expect six people to die right out of the gate, especially such important characters such as Krauss, Rudolf, and Rosa which did make me miss seeing the characters interact with others and develop. I was also very shocked at how brutal their deaths turned out to be. I am familiar with darker stories, Fata Morgana tackles some very heavy issues, however I did not expect this game to get so dark so fast. As soon as the first murder occur, the game does not stop and I really enjoyed how creepy the tone and atmosphere of the story is.
The isolation of the island combined with the constant sound of rain and thunder reminded me of The Lighthouse and its fog horn which when the noise goes missing it only adds to the dread of the scene. Anytime the story moved towards the discovery of the new set of dead bodies, I was on the edge of my seat filled with dread especially since I did not think that all of the characters were going to be dead by the end of the first chapter. The section between Kannon and Genji discovering Eva and Hideyoshi's bodies until his eventual murder in the boiler room was exhilarating. I especially enjoyed the raw emotion that we got to see whenever the murders were discovered. Going through the episode felt like reading a full novel which makes sense with how long the episode is.
Onto the characters, I found them to be very enjoyable and I am excited to learn about them more and see how they developed. I found all of the adults and the servants to be entertaining and gripping from the beginning with especial mention going to Genji's never breaking composure which makes me believe that he is hiding something but at the same time feeling sorry for the humiliation that he suffers at the end of the episode and Natsuhi's growth of going from a very passive character to one of the most important and with the most personality. Any talk that involved the adult of the family or the servants was never boring and truly enjoyable.
I appreciated Hideyoshi's attempt to deflate the situation whenever Eva and her passive-aggressiveness began as well as how easy it was for him to get along with the children. I felt extremely bad for poor Kumasawa who seemed to be terrified more than anyone else and my heart broke when she was crying and pleading to stay in the study after being blamed for poor Kannon's death. While Krauss just seems like an asshole that only cares about himself and his business, I enjoyed how he turned his predicament around to his siblings. I am excited to learn more about Rudolf but I really like his character nonetheless since his voice actor also voices Yoshikage Kira in All Star Battle so I picture Kira speaking every time. I feel also very bad for poor Kyrie who as not allowed to join the conversation at all while also having to endure all of it. She is a character that I wanted to be with during the story when others were acting irrational. Rosa just seemed like a mother who is dissatisfied with her life and who hates her daughter. The scene where she abuses Maria was especially difficult to read and hear even though one can understand her frustration. While I understand that a difference in culture dictates that the characters should not do anything while she was abusing her daughter, it was nonetheless very difficult to not get angry with the other them as they just leave Maria to get physically abused by her mother.
I am still not the biggest fan of the cousins and almost all of the slow and less interesting parts of the story occurred when they were talking between each other. I like George the most for now, especially his relationship with Shannon although the imbalance of power between the two of them makes the relationship seem less romantic than it is. Battler and Jessica are just fine for now although I did feel very bad for them given all they had to go through. I admire Battler's tenacity to oppose and not believe that Beatrice exists. I am, however, very excited to see how they develop throughout the story. When it comes to Maria though, I was not a fan at all, the voice acting and the constant uu is insufferable and while I understand why her character behaves the way that she does, a part of me wanted the others to get rid of her as soon as she started supporting and welcoming Beatrice and the murders that were occurring. I hope her character improves in the future.
The tea party and the ??? sections really helped in getting the player excited for the next episodes to come so they were welcomed additions although I did not know you had to do the in order to unlock the next chapter. I know that the game tells you to not believe everything that is shown to you and what the witch is saying, however, I am not very good with theory crafting and I simply want to enjoy the ride as it goes so I cannot tell whether magic did or did not happen when the murders occurred. For Kannon's death especially I am finding it difficult to come up with an explanation that has to do with human tricks. In the end I am not trying too hard to play detective and use logic to solve the riddles before I have more information. I truly am looking forward to seeing how the story continues and if I will be able to solve the mystery myself!
Below are some questions that I have come up with after the end of the chapter which the answer may or not may be available at this time.
i. Is Beatrice only just a witch or was she a real person?
ii. Why did Maria make the charms?
iii. Is there a hidden reason that Battler is so adamant to believe that Beatrice is real?
iv. What is the Golden Land?
v. What is Beatrice’s goal?
vi. Why did Rudolf know he was going to die?
vii. Did Eva and Hideyoshi know they were going to die?
viii. Is Genji hiding something?
ix. How did the six people get to the storage area?
x. How did Beatrice get Kenzo out of the study room?
xi. Why did Natsuhi commit suicide?
xii. Did I hear seagulls right before Eva and Hideyoshi’s death?
xiii. Why is exist in parenthesis when some characters such as Kanon talk about Beatrice? Is it because she doesn’t have a human form?
xiv. Is there a connection between the seven deadly sins daggers and the people that got killed with them?

Hey guys,
So tis is a long one but I'm feeling so lost and have ended up in therapy last week (first session) over all of this.
Here we go, this first part happened 2 years ago:
I've been with my wife for 16yrs married for the last 6 years.
I went to use her tablet and when I went to google it showed a ton of seraches for relationship tips for Sagittarius and Libra (she's a Libra, I'm Aries)
Was confused as this isn't my star sign, the searches were like "how to know if a sagittarius like you" how to identify sexual tension" "signs he likes you" "sexual traits of sagittarius" "are sagittarius attarced to woman in a relationship" and on, and on, and on it went.
There were lots more but my heart sank after seeing this, our relation ship is good and our sex life is good also, was blown away a bit after seeing this.
I confronted her about it and she ended up telling me the Sagittarius was a friend of a friend that I haven't met but she has a couple of times, he said some nice things to her and she said she was just being silly, all in her head and that it was nothing.
She went out with some friends 2 weeks ago, ended up out late with two friends who are a couple till 3:30am at a house party. When I asked her the next day she said she was with just our two friends as I was worried she was at a random party with no one she knew and maybe having a few two many. She seemed a little funny that day when I asked her who she was with.
Now after confronting her about these google searches it turned out she was not only with our two friends (guy & girl, bf/gf) but also with this sagittarius guy all night and ended up at the party with him and he called her a uber home also.
She admited she lied about this as she knew it was wrong but it still hurts as I've been hurt by the one person I've always felt safe, never to be hurt by.
I'm not sure where this would of ended up if I hadn't caught this, I've been calm about it and understanding and she's cried a ton, I just can't think that she may have ended up lying and hanging out with this guy with one thing leading to another, making out and possibly cheating down the road.
OK and now what happened in the past 2 weeks:
I've caught my wife out on another lie over the past week, it wasn't to do with a guy but she lost my headphones and tried replacing thinking I wouldn't know, she bought the wrong version of the item and I freaked out as she had been telling me for weeks that she left my stuff at a friend's house and then when she bought them home she even mentioned that she met up with another friend to grab them off her. None of this was true and it was going on for weeks. I was on my own when I realised she lied about everything and I had a flash back to 2 freaking yrs ago where all this bs started. I freaked out and my kind went to "shes probably lying about other stuff too". I had a panic attack. She has been spending time with another guy for music work and mentioning him a lot and when they spent all day on a filming project they went and had dinner, she did invite me it because I forgive her for all of this I was fine and said nah you I'm all good, as in I trust you to have dinner with a guy who I haven't met. Now I feel like a fool, have I been too trusting? I feel like I'm being taken advantage off, I told her other guy would have serious problem with their wife spending time with other guys like this, I don't want to be like that. This new lie had made me doubt everything again and I'm so annoyed as were were all good before all of this and I can't help but want to deep down blame her for messing our marriage up over other guys, who I know, who we see out, I have to picture the guys in my mind getting close to my wife, not some movie star crush, a guy who I'm talking to at a party. It has made me question did I ever really forgive her, I feel like I possibly shut down emotionally after finding out she lied and said she had a crush on this other guy years ago and I possibly have never been the same since. II just don't know what to do, the person I love the most has screwed our relationship and after what came down to a lie causing that, she lies again!
​
Last night she showed me some music she had been working on and she then mentioned the guy from 2 years ago will be featuring on it and she'll be meeting up in the studio with him to work on it.
My heart sank as I'm not totally overall of this again, I've never experienced Trauma but I feel like this thing from 2yrs ago has left me traumatized and finding it so hard to not think she's secretly into these guys, I feel like I'm going crazy.
I have my next therapy session next week, hope that will help.

I'm a 26 year old who just discovered Pink Floyd for the first time a few days ago. I say "discovered", even though I was already familiar with them, because I had only briefly and, more importantly, unconsciously heard their music. It was not until a few days ago that I truly discovered their music, listened to it, and resonated with it. Since then, I have been going down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole through which I especially became enamored with David Gilmour's playing. "Dogs" is one of the most rich, complex, and beautiful songs I've ever heard (which is a fit description for what feels like all their tracks); you become entranced the moment the first chord of the song is strummed. It was also through this rabbit hole where it felt like I got a brain massage at 5-star hotel spa by Mark Knopfler's guitar playing in "Sultans of Swing", and I was enraptured by how Hendrix emulated sounds of war and distress with his guitar like an onomatopoeia thunderbolt in his "Star Spangled Banner" performance. Mind you, my music taste had barely touched anything near rock music/psychedelic rock for the past 25.9 years, so this is all very new to me.
As a consequence of my recent listening experiences, I have been struck by the regret of not having learned guitar thus far, but the second best time is now. So, my redemption arc is to learn it. With that being said, which Stratocaster model should I get that could best radiate, and allow me to capture the essence of the music that I've been listening to the past few days? My budget is probably around $1900-$2000. I've heard a lot of good things about the American Pro II, open to any recommendations.
