2023.03.20 23:26 Niroc Scuffed Phantasm Auto Bomber
I've once again re-lapsed like a Spiderman villain. Putting on his yellow spandex to rob a bank with his latest invention, one part to pass the time, another as quite cry for help.
Anyway, here's the PoB, explanation below.
https://pobb.in/0_Qjoh_TsDpn
The TL:DR is that we have 5.83m dps (ignore full DPS), and more than 36.7k life regen, but are vulnerable to true one-shots.
Warning: do not play this. It isn't worth the investment, and it's untested. It works in theory, but don't do it unless you already have everything you need and want to have some fun.
The idea is simple, but the execution to automate this absolute mistake of ~20 hours of my life, not including this write-up,uses/requires almost a full set of unique items and 10 unique jewels. Buckle up and get ready for jank.
It is the core of the build. I would say it is required, but that's like saying the propellers are important to a helicopter. Anyways, the goal is to summon and destroy as many corpses as possible, all automatically.
Normally, the max limit of phantasms is 10. For whatever reason, this limit goes up to 20 when the staff is socketed with Summon Phantasm. We could raise this to 21 with a level 21 summon phantasm, but it makes the math a little harder, and would only be close to a 5% increase in damage, so I didn't include it.
That's all we really care about from Soulwrest. The mana regen will come in clutch later, but everything else is superfluous.
Automating them, at least to the extent of triggering them, is simple. The moment our minions die, Heart Bound loop will inflict some damage to us. 7k physical damage, but we'll get to that. Suffice it to say for now, that even with 90% physical damage reduction, that amount of damage will trigger at least a level 1 CWDT.
Volatile dead with Awakened spell cascade and the helmet enchant to increase the amount of orbs by 1 results in exactly 20 destroyed corpses. That is, if there are 20 corpses to explode.
How do we create the corpses? Desecrate is in a different CWDT setup. It will be triggered first. There is a very small delay between each of the created Desecrates, and an even smaller delay between Desecrate's cast and Volatile Dead. In theory, before the next pile of corpses is created, the previous one will be destroyed by Volatile Dead. If not, then things need to be re-organized to utilize a CWC/brand Unearth.
So, a total of 20 corpses are created and destroyed whenever our CWDT triggers. For extra automation, we can fit 1 curse into our desecrate CWDT. We chose elemental weakness, because our corrupted Heartbound loop can have flammability.
Corpsewalker is a QOL feature that ensures we're always near some corpses, and adds some extra breathing room to bad RNG in how the orbs spawns are targeted. Later on, it finds use in helping us solve the mana problem.
Yes, even dying gets complicated in PoE when you want to. Low-life is counted as 50% or less maximum life. A minion does not necessarily reach low-life when they die, such as when they expire or are replaced. But both scenarios count as them dying.
The phantasms must die as fast as possible by reaching low life. There are some ways to instantly kill minions we spawn by summoning them with 1 hp, but we're creating too many of them for that to be viable, and it would also break the CWDT loop.
So, they need to take damage. The only option for Phantasms is Infernal Legion. With a 23% Anomalous Infernal Legion, they will take 51.5% of their maximum life as fire damage every second.
But minions have a base 40% elemental resistance, and Soulwrest grants 5% life per second if we have consumed a corpse recently (which of course we have.) This is positively too slow, but there are no alternatives.
The solution is the Fortress Covenant, turning notables into "minions take 20% increased damage." We get 8 of those so that our minions are taking 160% increased damage. To help us achieve this, we also use an Uber Thread of Hope to snag some inconvenient passives. This saves us no points, but is better for our resistances and life due to how we path to it. The minions now have a x1.56 multiplier to fire damage taken per second.
With the current set-up vs Guardian/Pinnacle, each phantasm pops for ~196.5k damage.
20 minions dying 1.483 times per second for that amount of damage is approximately 5.83 million dps.
Against non-boss enemies, we are not able to automate Flammability, and our war-cry is unreliable.
For that reason, our DPS is only 5.67 million.
There is one flaw to our CWDT set-up: if they trigger before the minions die, the timer is reset, and we take Heartbound loop damage instantly from spawning all those minions. This can be quite painful.
When our minions die, all 20 of them, we take 350 damage per minion. That's 7000 physical damage coming our way. This happens approximately 1.483 times per second for approximately 10387 physical damage per second.
But we're in luck, because it's not a dot, and it's not just one hit. Each 350 damage instance is considered a hit.
To start, we need amour, but for reasons I will get to, we cannot use determination, and all our equipment (except for the gloves) grants evasion/es. But we can turn that evasion into amour with Iron Reflexes...
At the exact opposite side of the tree.
Not convenient, but we need it. Do you know what is convenient? Precursor's emblem. If we get one of those with Iron Reflexes while at maximum frenzy charges, then all we need to do is ensure we're always at maximum frenzy charges, or we'll just die!
The grand spectrum allows us to get +3 to minimum frenzy charges. That's another 3 unique jewels, and they're expensive. 3 Pacifism would be a viable, low-cost alternative, but does not come with the bonus of 30% max life.
At this point, the build is a dream, so let's also say we get one with endurance charge generation and armor per endurance charge.
For extra survivability, we also use an Impossible Escape to Imbalanced guard, grabbing Prismatic Skin, Soul of steel, and some extra armoresists.
All of this is to just avoid getting one shot. The long story short is that we're only resting at 4.4k armor and some additional physical damage reduction. We do manage to get up to the cap of 90% reduction from each hit, because 350 physical damage isn't that much on its own.
Now we're only taking 1038 damage per second from our CWDT loop.
I will note here, that they also have a 69% chance to summon whenever they get a kill, and 20% chance whenever they hit. Don't worry about this breaking the CWDT loop, because they simply do not attack/cast fast enough to get even one hit in before they die. But it does mean we will be taking even more damage from our CWDT loop, because their death means some extra spawns happen.
When that happens, they are replaced by the CWDT loop instantly, resulting in us taking even more hits. But this is actually a good thing, and we're about to see why.
Sublime Vision makes it so vitality causes us to regenerate 15% of our maximum life, every time we are hit. As previously established, our ass is hooked up to a spankbot powered by the hoover dam.
This scales with Increases and reduction to our life recovery rate, and our life regeneration rate. Even though our minions are dying, they'll be replaced before we even feel it, like a 5 year old’s pet goldfish. Bone Barrier grants up to 20% increased recovery rate of life. Replica Atziri's foible and our gloves grant a total of 51% increased regeneration rate. It also helps immensely with our attribute requirements.
So, 15 * 1.51 * 1.2 * 29.66 = 806.1588% life regenerated per second.
This translates into an additional 36760 life regen per second.
That's a little bit on the large size, and it better be, because we have almost no other defense. If it doesn't one-tap us, we live.
Remember how each minion has a 20% chance to summon a phantasm whenever they hit a rare or unique enemy? That means on average, we're actually going to be hit 20% more times on average versus bosses, for a total of 44113 life regen.
And when we're mapping, with 20% quality, summon phantasms are going to have a 79% chance to summon on hit, resulting in even more regeneration.
Desecrate costs 35 mana, elemental weakness costs 62. Volatile dead costs 37. With 1.48 triggers per second, that's ~198 mana per second. We want to be able to cast the occasional Flammability, Frostblink, and infernal cry.
Essence of gluttony is our solution. Each corpse grants 5 mana regen, our CWDT loops leaves 5 corpses behind, and Corpsewalker covers the difference to get up to +50 base mana regen. Naturally, we have consumed a corpse in the past 2 seconds, resulting in a lovely 313 mana regen. Enough to play around with our other skills, and support our CWDT loop.
Our minion's death donate souls faster than Mathil fans donate to his shirtless league streams. By the time you notice it, it will have already reached 100 stacks of soul eater and have become an unkillable god.
And this is where you know it's a meme build.
Unironically, weapon swap to conversion trap and enjoy your new minion. For maximum meme potential, use Divergent conversion trap and watch it power up like Goku. Just never make the mistake of running Burial Chamber.
Other builds will have more clear speed, damage, and durability on a lower budget. But let’s be honest here, that’s probably for the best.

Warning: do not play this. It isn't worth the investment, and it's untested. It works in theory, but don't do it unless you already have everything you need and want to have some fun.
What am I even looking at?
The core concept is simple: Spawn 20 phantasms, have them all explode via Minion Instability, then do it again.The idea is simple, but the execution to automate this absolute mistake of ~20 hours of my life, not including this write-up,uses/requires almost a full set of unique items and 10 unique jewels. Buckle up and get ready for jank.
Soulwrest.
To start, we're using the unique staff Soulwrest to summon phantasms every time we "consume" a corpse. That is in quotes, because it actually doesn't distinguish between consuming a corpse versus exploding. That little quirk saves us a lot of mana, which I will get to.It is the core of the build. I would say it is required, but that's like saying the propellers are important to a helicopter. Anyways, the goal is to summon and destroy as many corpses as possible, all automatically.
Normally, the max limit of phantasms is 10. For whatever reason, this limit goes up to 20 when the staff is socketed with Summon Phantasm.

That's all we really care about from Soulwrest. The mana regen will come in clutch later, but everything else is superfluous.
Creating the minions
So, we have a need to create 20 corpses, and destroy 20 corpses, automatically.Automating them, at least to the extent of triggering them, is simple. The moment our minions die, Heart Bound loop will inflict some damage to us. 7k physical damage, but we'll get to that. Suffice it to say for now, that even with 90% physical damage reduction, that amount of damage will trigger at least a level 1 CWDT.

Corpsewalker is a QOL feature that ensures we're always near some corpses, and adds some extra breathing room to bad RNG in how the orbs spawns are targeted. Later on, it finds use in helping us solve the mana problem.
Killing the minions.
Our damage comes from Minion Instability, which makes our minions go kaboom. Though, it should be noted that they do not explode on death, just when they reach low life.Yes, even dying gets complicated in PoE when you want to. Low-life is counted as 50% or less maximum life. A minion does not necessarily reach low-life when they die, such as when they expire or are replaced. But both scenarios count as them dying.
The phantasms must die as fast as possible by reaching low life. There are some ways to instantly kill minions we spawn by summoning them with 1 hp, but we're creating too many of them for that to be viable, and it would also break the CWDT loop.
So, they need to take damage. The only option for Phantasms is Infernal Legion. With a 23% Anomalous Infernal Legion, they will take 51.5% of their maximum life as fire damage every second.
But minions have a base 40% elemental resistance, and Soulwrest grants 5% life per second if we have consumed a corpse recently (which of course we have.) This is positively too slow, but there are no alternatives.
The solution is the Fortress Covenant, turning notables into "minions take 20% increased damage." We get 8 of those so that our minions are taking 160% increased damage. To help us achieve this, we also use an Uber Thread of Hope to snag some inconvenient passives. This saves us no points, but is better for our resistances and life due to how we path to it. The minions now have a x1.56 multiplier to fire damage taken per second.
How fast do we CWDT, and how much damage?
Alright, so long story short: ~1.484 times per second. That number is based exclusively on how long it takes for our minions to die. In reality, the staggered cascades will add a slight delay as the minions will not die all at once.With the current set-up vs Guardian/Pinnacle, each phantasm pops for ~196.5k damage.
20 minions dying 1.483 times per second for that amount of damage is approximately 5.83 million dps.
Against non-boss enemies, we are not able to automate Flammability, and our war-cry is unreliable.
For that reason, our DPS is only 5.67 million.
There is one flaw to our CWDT set-up: if they trigger before the minions die, the timer is reset, and we take Heartbound loop damage instantly from spawning all those minions. This can be quite painful.
Not getting clapped by the Heartbound Loop.
If you have ever played a CWDT loop, you know there's a risk: Killing yourself.When our minions die, all 20 of them, we take 350 damage per minion. That's 7000 physical damage coming our way. This happens approximately 1.483 times per second for approximately 10387 physical damage per second.
But we're in luck, because it's not a dot, and it's not just one hit. Each 350 damage instance is considered a hit.
To start, we need amour, but for reasons I will get to, we cannot use determination, and all our equipment (except for the gloves) grants evasion/es. But we can turn that evasion into amour with Iron Reflexes...

Now we're only taking 1038 damage per second from our CWDT loop.

Don't worry about this breaking the CWDT loop, because they simply do not attack/cast fast enough to get even one hit in before they die. But it does mean we will be taking even more damage from our CWDT loop, because their death means some extra spawns happen.
When that happens, they are replaced by the CWDT loop instantly, resulting in us taking even more hits. But this is actually a good thing, and we're about to see why.
The best aura in the game: Vitality
Well, we took the high road and didn't use Determination. Time to reap the rewardsSublime Vision makes it so vitality causes us to regenerate 15% of our maximum life, every time we are hit. As previously established, our ass is hooked up to a spankbot powered by the hoover dam.
This scales with Increases and reduction to our life recovery rate, and our life regeneration rate. Even though our minions are dying, they'll be replaced before we even feel it, like a 5 year old’s pet goldfish. Bone Barrier grants up to 20% increased recovery rate of life. Replica Atziri's foible and our gloves grant a total of 51% increased regeneration rate. It also helps immensely with our attribute requirements.
So, 15 * 1.51 * 1.2 * 29.66 = 806.1588% life regenerated per second.
This translates into an additional 36760 life regen per second.
That's a little bit on the large size, and it better be, because we have almost no other defense. If it doesn't one-tap us, we live.
Remember how each minion has a 20% chance to summon a phantasm whenever they hit a rare or unique enemy? That means on average, we're actually going to be hit 20% more times on average versus bosses, for a total of 44113 life regen.
And when we're mapping, with 20% quality, summon phantasms are going to have a 79% chance to summon on hit, resulting in even more regeneration.
Triggered mana costs go brrrr
Our minions cost nothing, but our 2 CWDT loops are not so generous.Desecrate costs 35 mana, elemental weakness costs 62. Volatile dead costs 37. With 1.48 triggers per second, that's ~198 mana per second. We want to be able to cast the occasional Flammability, Frostblink, and infernal cry.
Essence of gluttony is our solution. Each corpse grants 5 mana regen, our CWDT loops leaves 5 corpses behind, and Corpsewalker covers the difference to get up to +50 base mana regen. Naturally, we have consumed a corpse in the past 2 seconds, resulting in a lovely 313 mana regen. Enough to play around with our other skills, and support our CWDT loop.
Soul eater
Yes, this deserves its own section.Our minion's death donate souls faster than Mathil fans donate to his shirtless league streams. By the time you notice it, it will have already reached 100 stacks of soul eater and have become an unkillable god.
And this is where you know it's a meme build.
Unironically, weapon swap to conversion trap and enjoy your new minion. For maximum meme potential, use Divergent conversion trap and watch it power up like Goku. Just never make the mistake of running Burial Chamber.
Conclusion.
This build, while technically viable, is not worth it to actually play in the league. Between the thread of hope, the grand spectrums, 2 awakened spell cascades, the 3 passive voices, sublime vision, uber thread of hope, impossible escape, replica shroud of the lightless, and a very good precursor's emblem, it's just not worth it.Other builds will have more clear speed, damage, and durability on a lower budget. But let’s be honest here, that’s probably for the best.

2023.03.20 23:10 Crimsonking5049 Getting into Ministry advice
So I am leaving the USMC to go into ministry and wondering what's an entry level job to start in before having my M.Div? I am not starting seminary until the Fall semster. It'll be Online, as I've spent the last 7 years away from my family, and I would like to catch up on the time I've lost with them, as the seminaries I'd attend are quite far away.
I'm really lost in the sauce as to what churches are really looking for, and what is a entry level position to work my way up from. I have an internship I will be doing locally for close to 6mo while I'm still in the service, before returning back home, where I am seeking a position at.
I'm probably going either the Baptist or Non-Denom route, but I'm not too picky honestly, just as long as it's not some heretical church. Which funny enough, the church I will be interning at is a Non-Denom with AoG roots, so I really don't care much for the denomination differences. It's just the schools I got to are Baptist, so it's probably easier if I stay that route or Non-Denom.
I'm just searching for a solid answer I guess. Are churches looking for years of experience, a somehow quantifiable level of empathy, proof of Biblical knowledge, all of the above.... I just simply do not know.
Any advice would be greatly helpful in this matter. And let me know if I omitted some information that would be helpful for you to give advice in.
Very Respectfully

I'm really lost in the sauce as to what churches are really looking for, and what is a entry level position to work my way up from. I have an internship I will be doing locally for close to 6mo while I'm still in the service, before returning back home, where I am seeking a position at.
I'm probably going either the Baptist or Non-Denom route, but I'm not too picky honestly, just as long as it's not some heretical church. Which funny enough, the church I will be interning at is a Non-Denom with AoG roots, so I really don't care much for the denomination differences. It's just the schools I got to are Baptist, so it's probably easier if I stay that route or Non-Denom.
I'm just searching for a solid answer I guess. Are churches looking for years of experience, a somehow quantifiable level of empathy, proof of Biblical knowledge, all of the above.... I just simply do not know.
Any advice would be greatly helpful in this matter. And let me know if I omitted some information that would be helpful for you to give advice in.
Very Respectfully
2023.03.20 22:39 jinnyjuice Using some R libraries for finance data for modelling 'EAD, PD and LGD Modeling for EL Estimation' -- I feel that I'm using the wrong columns. Where can I get firm value, short term liabilities, and long term liabilities data?
I've been econometrics for a decade now, just trying to learn a bit of finance. I'm currently attempting to learn from this video, specifically at 8:40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYm01d2hr6g
Here is my code so far:

This leads me to believe that I'm using the wrong data/columns. Which ones am I supposed to use? Or where can I get such data for free?2023.03.20 22:35 tepig31 once again for a test :)

Pete Perv stayed overnight at Curious Sam's house and accidentally left behind several obscene DVD's - all of which had been ruled "legally obscene" under the Miller test in recent court cases. No minors were involved in any of the videos. A couple days later after Pete left, Sam found the DVD's and out of curiosity, Sam played one of the obscene DVD's. Meanwhile, as Sam was viewing the obscene material, the police burst into his home while serving a warrant on another matter. Officer Smith immediately recognized the video Sam was watching as being recently deemed obscene. Regarding possible obscenity charges, Sam is likely to: be guilty of transporting obscene material
Mama Snoops, Curious Sam's mother, surprised Sam by arriving at his doorstep for a holiday stay. While snooping in the guest room, Mama Snoops discovered Pete Perv's obscene DVD collection. Curious, she inserted one of the DVD's in the player and hit play. Mama Snoops was shocked at what she saw and demanded Curious Sam for an explanation as to why he had these obscene DVD's. Embarrassed, Sam explained they were left behind by Pete Perv. Mama Snoops demanded Sam return the obscene DVD collection to Mr. Perv immediately. Sam agreed and mailed the obscene material to Pete Perv. If Sam is caught mailing the obscene DVD's back to Pete Perv, he will likely: Obscenity

Under the Miller Test, a work is obscene if the average person, applying ________________________, finds that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the ________________________. sexual conduct
Under the Miller Test, a work is obscene if the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, _________________, specifically defined by applicable state law.

2023.03.20 22:22 Bobavader21 Advice on Heat Pump Install
Looking for some advice on air source heat pumps for 20+ year old 2800 sq ft colonial in northeast. We are newer owners + inherited damaged + aged a/c equipment so we are looking to capitalize on rebates. We are unaware of how the house currently was cooling with ductwork. We have received multiple quotes + really narrowed down to 3. We had insulation work completed before winter. Have duct work that we likely plan to use vs. ductless units.
Option 1 – Roughly $35K
Install 2 Bryant Evolution Extreme units. 1 for 1st floor + 1 for 2nd floor. Replace flex duct in attic with new ductwork.
Install return in every room on 2nd floor.
Company is larger + closer to house
Optional mini split for bonus room connected to primary bedroom but likely this is a cost we cannot handle at the moment but there is concern the duct will not be sufficient depending on the use of the room.
Concerns – are the SEER + HSPF ratings (up to 24 + up to 13) actually real considering “up to” is used + Bryant warranty is 10 years + non transferrable to new owner
Option 2 – Roughly $35K
Install 2 Daikin SkyAir units. 1 for 1st floor + 1 for 2nd floor. Replace flex duct in attic with new ductwork.
Can install return in every room on 2nd floor.
Warranty is 12 years + transferable to new owner
No concern noted for bonus room. Installer was personable.
Concerns – are we sacrificing efficiency + cost savings by taking 16 SEER + 10.4 HSPF vs the Bryant, unsure of the Daikin brand, company is smaller + bit further from home
Option 3 – Roughly $38K
Install 2 Mitsubishi ducted units.
3 year labor warranty + 12 year Mitsubishi warranty
Install return in every room
Concern noted for bonus room to install mini split but likely we cannot take those costs on.
No concern on using existing ductwork. Installer was personable.
Concerns – are we getting much value in Mitsubishi if in lower temps the oil will kick on (should operate down to -5), if able to replace 20+ year old duct work shouldn’t we?, sacrificing with 16 SEER + 9 HSPF vs Bryant?

2023.03.20 22:17 MataLeao87 A question after almost 5 years of playing.
My cousin and I have had this game since May of 2018 and played 1 vs 1 a lot. After a year we got his brother then his wife to play (alliance was finally a nice thing).
We picked up another friend in 2022 and now consistently play Free For All with 4 - 5 players.
Before my friend joined, We've probably played over 300 games as a group. some games last days to weeks with the 24 hour turn rate (some people like to wait the full 24 hours due to them losing).
Elo is fun to see, but I find it pointless when playing more than 1 vs 1. I also believe there needs to be an alliance win with some stipulations such as giving 1 option at the immediate death of an opponent to end the game but get zero elo or break the treaty right away. You can vote but both players must vote to end with the zero elo. If one says no, then it automatically breaks the alliance.
Another option is to have a stipulation where you can get elo but you must have been in an alliance for so many turns before eliminating the last opponent.
Having a teams option from the start would also be nice. It seems simple to implement and yes ganging up would be easy once you take a teammate out but that's how it is already and we seem to still get a good game out of it. Constantly playing with 4 players, my cousin and his wife always non officially team up. It's an automatic 2 vs 1 as his brother isn't always a guarantee for wanting to ally because he's stubborn.
Lastly. My random thought is, dragons should be buffed. It's stupid to wait 9 turns to get a useful unit, but it only has 2 range. It needs to have the same range as a catapult. Going up against boats you're toast in 2 turns unless you hit a kill shot. Two units such as knights can also kill a dragon. You still only have 20 hp. You are most likely dead if you dont use a dragon correctly unlike a giant which has 40 hp and can take on and destroy or strongly damage multiple apponents that attack it.
Giants are great, but dragons don't give nearly the same advantage for the amount of time it takes to get one.
I love the game. And find it pretty balanced. On any map with water, I find that water is king and whoever owns the water wins the game. That's kind of a bummer as it's basically a rush to docks and trade when there is a water map.
Questions to all of you are do you play only 1 vs 1? Or do you play vs multiple players?
TL DR: Played 5 years FFA with 4-5 plays on a daily basis. Team win or teams should be implemented. Dragons could use a buff.

2023.03.20 21:50 Caedmon_Kael If Veteran Intercessors were moved to Troop...
...would they be worth taking? Or are they still overshadowed by our current Troops. Aka, everyone is still going to take 2x Infiltrators.
So, let's assume we've already taken 2x Infiltrators and we're full up on Elites and Fast Attack already and considering if we want to add another Troop. So directly comparing vs Intercessors and Assault Intercessors (and not Grey Hunters, Blood Claws,Incursors or Heavy Intercessors right now).
This isn't exactly specific to Space Wolves, but I like this sub better. I don't think I've ever seen a list that includes them regardless of chapter.
Differences between Intercessors and Veteran Intercessors: 2 points cheaper vs +1A & Ld, Wolf Guard keyword (which does nothing right now). Since they would be going to Troop, they should both have Objective Secured and Sticky Objectives.
Regular Intercessors(like everyone) would like having the extra attack and leadership, but don't have the good weapons to leverage the bonus and doesn't boost their main role as a gunline unit. So +2 PPM for +1A&Ld is... borderline. Nice if you have the points to burn, but not an auto-take. +1PPM would probably be great but not quite auto-take as it might never come up (for non-melee chapters). +0PPM would be autotake of course.
Differences between Assault Intercessors and Veterans Intercessors: 3 points cheaper, access to Honour the Chapter Stratagem vs +1A & Ld, Rapid Fire Stratagem, Wolf Guard keyword (which does nothing right now). Same with Obj Sec and Sticky.
3 PPM for +1A if they still had access to Honour the Chapter might be worth it, but 3 PPM should be on the level of upgrading a model from a Chainsword to a Lightning Claw (which is double damage vs MEQ). +1A isn't even half that, it's barely a quarter of that. If they are losing Honour the Chapter(and gain Rapid Fire), +3 PPM is definitely not worth it, nor is +2. +1 is probably borderline and +0 is probably good, but not auto-take.
If VI get access to both Honour the Chapter and Rapid Fire regardless of loadout, I think +2 over regular Intercessors would be 'good' instead of Borderline and +1 would be better but still not auto-take. +0&+1 PPM over AI would be 'autotake'. +2 would probably be 'good', but there are some situations you just want them as cheap as possible.
Maybe "Veteran" needs to just be an upgrade for the existing Intercessors/Assault Intercessors that just adds +1A/Ld for +2 PPM. Probably the simplest solution.
Finally, complete mechanical overhaul, but stays in the Elite Slot. Something like access to Rapid Fire or Honour the Chapter(depending on loadout), and then an option for lower tier special/power weapons. So can choose between Chainsword & Special Weapons(flamegrav/storm bolt rifle*/helfrost rifle**, access to Rapid Fire), or Power Weapons(sword/axe/maul) & Heavy Bolt Pistol (possibly 'Special Issue' going to AP-2, and access to Honour the Chapter). Possibly points upgrades for going to Plasma/Meltagun or the higher Tier Power Weapons (including Master-crafted lower tier). This could probably be a replacement for Wolf Guard/Vanguard Veterans if we gave the option of Jump Packs and possibly replacing the HBP with Storm Shield.
The problem that GW will probably have, is that it is a single box that basically does everything. And would probably be better off as an upgrade sprue type box. Like HH has done for the special/heavy weapons, just extended to power weapons and storm bolt rifles.
*Basically twin-versions of the regular bolt rifles(inc auto and stalker).
**Helfrost Rifle: Multi-role with stats between the current Helfrost Pistol and Helfrost Cannon...

### Training
I had run 2 HMs before this, but never really stuck to a plan so for this race, I followed one based off a mix of Hal Higdon + Nike's half training programs. Wanted to keep it sustainable, so only ran 3x a week averaging between 15-20 mpw with XT two days, one day for yoga, and one full rest day. Did a lot of reading about running and learned about the 80/20 rule, so tried to keep any non-tempo runs super easy, but ended up running most of them closer to race pace, which may explain why about 3 weeks before race day my Achilles started acting up (think it was Achilles tendonitis). Last 3 weeks of training I took it easy to rest, only running about twice per week.
Overall, I wanted to make sure I did adequate training, but also wanted to enjoy the process and not take it so seriously. In the past, I would always dread my long runs, so this training cycle I made more of an effort to plan out fun routes and take it easy on myself. I read somewhere that race day is a celebration of all the training you've done in the months leading up to it, so tried to keep that mindset heading into race day!
### Pre-race
Took it really easy the day before (full rest, no shake out run) and tried my best to stay hydrated. Made myself some pasta for dinner and was in bed by 8 PM and fell asleep by 9 for a 5 AM wake up. Did my usual routine of toast, PB + protein shake for breakfast, but was feeling nervous so stomach felt pretty queasy. Forecast was low 40s, so wore gloves, headband, longsleeve, vest + leggings.
I live in DC, so was planning on taking the bus down, but realized that bus routes were closed when I tried to get on. Ended up splitting an Uber down with other runners (thankful for the running community!), used the porta potty and started lining up in my corral. Given how crowded it was (~10K runners), RnR did a decent job of organizing the start line with workers creating body barriers between start groups so there was no risk of stampeding at the start (though no real checking of if you were in the right corral). I was in corral 8 and crossed the starting line a bit before 8:20, so didn't have to wait too long.
Looking back, I wish I brought a bar to eat on the way down since it was about 3 hours from the time I ate to the time I started running when during training it was usually about 1 hour between meal + run.
### Race
Knew that I had a bad habit of starting off too fast, especially on race days, so made a more conscious effort to keep it relatively slow the first few miles (though looking back I wasn't taking it that slow). My Achilles was bothering me a bit, but nothing too serious so I felt confident. There were live music bands every mile or so (10 in total), but I didn't notice them too much. Around mile 5 is when I got a bit in my head about the remaining race, but there was a tunnel with speakers blasting "Walking on Sunshine" which helped me keep it moving. Walked a bit to take my first gu (I can never figure out how to run and eat at the same time). Probably around miles 6-8 is when I realized that I should have bag checked my vest as I was getting a bit toasty with the sun out and temps rising, but eh, what can you do.
I knew from researching past years that the Calvert Hill around mile 7-8 was going to be a rough one, so started slowing down and preparing for that. The hill was TOUGH, and the miles leading up to it didn't have any spectators, but I didn't let myself walk and felt a rush of endorphins after making it up there. Once we turned into Woodley Park, there were a bunch of crowds with high energy so that also helped.
Miles 8-10 was through the more residential neighborhoods of DC which was nice and a pretty unique aspect of this race vs. others in DC that are mostly down by the monuments / West Potomac Park). I started to feel fatigued mentally and physically around here since there weren't many people cheering, but tried my best to keep it moving. There was a great group of all women drummers which was a wonderful energy boost right before mile 10.
From mile 10 on is when there were noticeably more spectators cheering which was much needed for me. After slowing down to take another Gu at mile 10, I checked my phone and knew I wouldn't hit a sub 2-hour time and kept thinking about walking or slowing down, but tried my best to stay present and enjoy the race. Was really cool to run down N Capitol Street and get that view of the Capitol.
Picked it up as much as I could to cross the finish line strong. And it felt great! Overall, I really enjoyed this race and while I didn't hit my goal time, I PR'ed and felt pretty good for the whole race (my last half was a real struggle mentally and physically after mile 10 so that was discouraging).
Shout out to the people holding the "All toenails go to heaven" and "Due to inflation this race is now 14.7 miles" signs - definitely made me chuckle.
### Post-race
Grabbed some water, Gatorade + chips at the finish line and met up with my partner by the Capitol. Couldn't find the beer tent, so stopped by McDonald's to grab some post race fuel (french fries) and meet up with the rest of my family who came. Didn't do much stretching after, but used a Theragun. The day after, treated myself to a massage, but honestly it was pretty painful since my muscles were still pretty tight. And now that it's two days after, my body is still pretty sore all around, but nothing crazy and probably a sign that I need to take some time to stretch.
Lessons learned - will need to be better about really slowing down during my easy/long runs so I can get faster and avoid injury. Been thinking about joining a running club in DC and know I should just put myself out there and try one, but a bit nervous since I'm not that fast. (any recs are welcome!). Also will need to make mobility and stretching more of a priority - my 30-something body is not what it used to be.. :) Overall, really pleased with this race and grateful to have been able to complete it! Hoping I can hit my sub 2-hour goal soon, but regardless, I'll keep enjoying the process.
Thanks for reading! I've really appreciated this reddit running community and I've found past race reports to be helpful so hope this helps you in some sort of way :)

2023.03.20 21:14 mildlymashedpotatoes Single wall vs non-pressurized basket
Hi! New to espresso and looking for some help. I bought the Bambino Plus and have been using the dual wall basket with pretty coarse grounds.
The machine also came with a “single wall” basket and I’m wondering if this is the same as a non-pressurized basket?? I am waiting for a Baratza grinder I ordered so in the meantime went to a local coffee shop and they ground beans for me super finely. I used them this morning in the single wall basket and barely any espresso came out (and what did come out was very dark and thick). Not sure if the beans were ground too finely, or if it’s the basket. Any help appreciated here!

2023.03.20 20:54 GovernmentDoingStuff Your Guide to Thursday's Sweet 16 games
In order to gear up for the Sweet 16, I have put together some profiles and matchup previews of Thursday's action. I will hopefully have the same for Friday's games at some point tomorrow! In the meantime, lets enjoy another day of women's hoops and NIT games tomorrow.
Game 1: (3)Kansas State vs (7)Michigan State
Team Profile: (3)Kansas State
KenPom: 21
T-Rank: 23
Major Contributors (usage on at least 24% of possessions): Markquis Nowell, Keyonte Johnson
Kansas State is one of the biggest surprises of the 22-23 CBB season. Their two-headed monster of Nowell and Johnson led Kansas State to 9 quad 1 regular season victories. K-State, despite being one of the shortest high major teams, brings the 17th ranked defense in the nation into this game. The Wildcats like to play an up-tempo style of offense and get their playmakers to the rim. They are a team that relies heavily on points in the paint and point at the line rather than a 3pt centric offense. Kansas State is also 7th in the country in assists per made field goal, making them one of the better passing teams in the country.
Team Profile: (7)Michigan State
KenPom: 25
T-Rank: 24
Major Contributors: AJ Hoggard
Michigan State is a team that has been on deep runs before, including a trip to the Final Four as a 7 seed once. AJ Hoggard has once again been one of the best guards in the Big 10 and the nation. Michigan State is a team that is lethal from three, though they attempt about 5% fewer threes per game than the national average. They play stout defense, but are really bad at forcing turnovers. Michigan State has the single hardest SOS of any team left in the field, this includes three non-conference games against tournament teams. MSU likes to slow the game down and run this offense through Hoggard in the halfcourt.
Game Profile:
Spread: MSU -2
These two teams are very different in their style of play. MSU likes to slow it down, play in the halfcourt, and create open jump shots. Kansas State likes to run and get quick buckets or free throws by driving towards the basket. Look for K-State to make constant runs at the hoop and try to force MSU into turnovers. The key to the game for Michigan State is to keep the ball safe and make their open three point shots. For K-State, they need to force turnovers and get some of these MSU bigs into foul trouble.
Game 2: (4)UConn vs (8)Arkansas
Team Profile: (4)UConn
KenPom: 4

The UConn Huskies are a lethal 4 seed to say the least. They possess the 3rd best offense in the country led by two behemoths in Sanogo and Clingan. Part of their success is the 2nd best offensive rebounding rate in the country. It provides them with a lot of opportunities for 2nd chance points. Look for UConn to try and play bully ball over their opponents, especially teams that lack size

While Smith has a lot of draw when healthy, he has been anything but in his freshman season for the Razorbacks. Arkansas’ bread and butter is their defense. They defend the arc incredibly well and utilize their athleticism to create turnovers. They shoot terribly from three, but have so many ways to attack the rim and create layup opportunities for their playmakers
Game Profile:
Spread: UConn -3.5
Arkansas is a tough matchup for anybody with their athleticism. I am looking for them to be aggressive in taking it hard to the rim. Mission number 1 should be to get Sanogo and Clingan in foul trouble. Arkansas also needs to be efficient making their shots and fight hard for defensive boards so rebounds don’t become a huge advantage for UConn. The Huskies meanwhile can spread the floor with two big athletes in the middle. Open threes are going to be hard to come by, so UConn is going to need to use their size to their advantage. Something they have been very good at when it counts. If this game features whistle happy refs, this will really give Arkansas the help they need.

Tennessee has overcome a crushing injury to Zakai Zeigler to find themselves in the 2nd weekend. The Vols bring with them a ferocious defense that is currently ranked #1 in the country. Tennessee refuses to give up easy threes or really any easy buckets for that matter. Offensively, this team has been very up and down as they often rely on 2nd chance points. If Tennessee wants to continue this run, they are going to need Finnish stud, Nkamhuoa, to lead this offense.

FAU is a very well balanced team. It’s hard to find anything they don’t do well besides consistency in hitting their free throws. With so many ways to win, they have amassed 33 total wins compared to just 3 losses. That being said, they aren’t elite at any one thing either. FAU runs this offense through two outstanding guards in Davis and Martin, both of them are still just sophomores. FAU likes to score from beyond the arc, they have 4 guards that shoot between 37-40% from three. FAU is also one of the shortest teams in D1.
Game Profile:
Spread: Tenn -5
FAU is going to want to score the three ball, but that is extremely hard against a Tennessee team that can flat out dominate the three point line defensively. Tennessee is going to have to get creative to hang with FAU’s ability to score. FAU’s keys to winning this game are going to be maximizing scoring opportunities against a great defense. Meanwhile, Tennessee has to find a way to score enough to beat such a talented and well rounded team

UCLA is an experienced and unbelievably talented team. Led by two seniors, the Bruins are one of the best teams in the nation on both sides of the ball. UCLA excels in turnover differential. They take good care of the ball while forcing the 11th most turnovers in the country. They shoot well from three, but prefer to generate offense inside the arc when possible.

Gonzaga brings the number 1 offense in the country to this game. They can score inside and out with veteran big man Drew Timme leading the team. Gonzaga plays quickly and has an uncanny ability to generate open looks and opportunities down low for Timme. The Zags have a lot of question marks on defense which despite a historically good offense has held them back from the elite status we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from them.
Game Preview:
Spread: UCLA -2
This very well could be the best game of the Sweet 16. Gonzaga is going to have a hard time defensively, but I’m very excited to see how this offense performs against a very good UCLA team. On the other hand, UCLA absolutely has to get the scoring going in this game or they are at serious risk of ending up down a lot of points. The Bruins do boast a terrific defense though which will need to step up to keep the Zags from lighting up the scoreboard.

Team Profile: (3)Kansas State
KenPom: 21
T-Rank: 23
Major Contributors (usage on at least 24% of possessions): Markquis Nowell, Keyonte Johnson
Kansas State is one of the biggest surprises of the 22-23 CBB season. Their two-headed monster of Nowell and Johnson led Kansas State to 9 quad 1 regular season victories. K-State, despite being one of the shortest high major teams, brings the 17th ranked defense in the nation into this game. The Wildcats like to play an up-tempo style of offense and get their playmakers to the rim. They are a team that relies heavily on points in the paint and point at the line rather than a 3pt centric offense. Kansas State is also 7th in the country in assists per made field goal, making them one of the better passing teams in the country.

Michigan State is a team that has been on deep runs before, including a trip to the Final Four as a 7 seed once. AJ Hoggard has once again been one of the best guards in the Big 10 and the nation. Michigan State is a team that is lethal from three, though they attempt about 5% fewer threes per game than the national average. They play stout defense, but are really bad at forcing turnovers. Michigan State has the single hardest SOS of any team left in the field, this includes three non-conference games against tournament teams. MSU likes to slow the game down and run this offense through Hoggard in the halfcourt.
Game Profile:
Spread: MSU -2
These two teams are very different in their style of play. MSU likes to slow it down, play in the halfcourt, and create open jump shots. Kansas State likes to run and get quick buckets or free throws by driving towards the basket. Look for K-State to make constant runs at the hoop and try to force MSU into turnovers. The key to the game for Michigan State is to keep the ball safe and make their open three point shots. For K-State, they need to force turnovers and get some of these MSU bigs into foul trouble.

2023.03.20 20:46 lazymentors How Instagram & Tiktok is Changed Now & The Strategies Brands like Bose & McDonald’s use to grow followers & Views!
State of Instagram Reels In 2023
We kicked off 2023 with some serious announcements from Instagram’s CEO confessing that Instagram pushed more reels than photos. And they will settle things back to normal meaning pushing every single piece of content at the same rate.After that Meta’s Earning Report 2022 came out, In the statement regarding Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that to make people create & watch reels they tried to give new format a boost until 2022. Now, reels can grow on their own.
And that brings us to current state of reels, which is reels aren’t as organic as 2021. But the time spent by Instagram users is increasing, now more than 20% users spend their half of the time on reels tab.
That’s why IG reels needs to be part of your overall Instagram strategy.
State of Tiktok 2023
Changes to Tiktok algorithm are bigger than Instagram reels. Increasing the arguments regarding Tiktok Vs Instagram strategy, here’s what you need to know regarding these changes.First Tiktok recently announced a new monetisation feature called “Tiktok Series”.
Tiktok believes in quality content & they have mentioned these priorities over and over again. This time with “Tiktok Series” the platform wants creators to create long-form content to make Tiktok users more engaged within the platform.
The creators can charge upto $190 for content series. Your Tiktok series can have upto 80 videos with length of upto 20 minutes.
This new era of paywalled content on Tiktok will bring more engagement & money to creators.
Second TikTok’s Creativity Program aka “Creative Fund 2.0”
The platform introduced a new creator fund called “Tiktok creativity Program” and creators can apply for monetisation of video content. But this time there is a change to help deserving creators make more money.
In creativity program, creators apply for monetisation for a specific Tiktok video and the video has to be over 1 minue length or minimum. Plus, Tiktok will review Originality & creativity of video to consider monetisation.
Final Take, What these changes tell us?
These changes tell us that Tiktok wants original & long-form content to exist on platform. Tiktok was know for trending sounds in 2019-2021 and it still represents that part of social media. But now the platform seeks originality & wants to be a content hub like Youtube.
Understanding Instagram Strategy
I’ve advised 1000s of marketers, SMBs & creators that only reason Instagram never dies is because it’s the most personal platform & middle child in the family of Social Media Platforms.The audiences on Instagram want to see memories, highlights & content from their friends, families & connections. And they discover new creators & businesses based on what Instagram knows about them. And Instagram gets the knowledge from who they follow, what they or the people they follow like. It’s all interconnected.
And that’s different from Tiktok. On Instagram while creating reels, you have to remember to make sure you focus on creating content more valuable for your existing followers.
When you create valuable content for them. You will get better engagement from them and as Instagram’s audience is interconnected & the platform knows the interests through the audience. You will go viral & get more engagement.
Meaning key to a great Instagram reels strategy is focusing on fulfilling your current audience with value to get more engagement from non-followers. To do that, you need to be more focused on understanding your followers how they react to different posts. After that you need to find what other creators & businesses are doing to find what works.
Both of these will help you in creating content within your expertise, without any pressure to jump on trends. Why? As you now understand what strategies & tactics work for your audience better than those Instagram fast growth gurus.
Decoding Tiktok Strategy
Above I mentioned Tiktok is different with context about how Instagram’s audience is interconnected & existing followers make a huge impact on virality.Tiktok is opposite, People use it to discover new solutions, trends, Ideas & businesses. They aren’t interconnected with most of their friends. Unless Tiktok asks you to connect contacts & 70% people usually don’t follow their friends after connecting their contact lists.
Tiktok users are on Platform for new content discovery. You see content based on what you like, the personal connections doesn’t matter as much as they did on IG.That’s why brands on Tiktok try to create content that targets a broad share of platform. Because people are hear to build new interests, and discover new businesses.
First, Brands try to create content that appeals to 90% of people interested in X topic to go viral or gain exposure.
For example, @Bose on Tiktok create funny reels about their new products to reach most of the audience.
Second, They create educational & focused content to keep the existing followers engaging + connected with their brands.
To explain Take @schick on Tiktok creating story-focused content to make sure the connection between newly gained audience starts building.
Third, Brands try to stay relevant by discussing points that audience mentions in comments. To make people believe they are listening to everyone.
For Example, McDonald’s Tiktok manager replied to a follower who said nobody will read this. This act shows a lot & the screenshot of this comment gathered 13k likes on Twitter.
Showing how engaging in comments can also impact your audience + you can end up gaining more attention on Twitter or reddit.
Packing all this up, Tiktok strategy For Brands & Creators is a mix of broad content to target new followers & insightful content to keep the followers engaged. And engaging is similar to Instagram, It’s important on both platforms.
Instagram Images Vs Tiktok Carousels
In the state of Instagram reels, I mentioned that IG is back to prioritising every single format equally. What does that mean? It means that Instagram Imagery content is here to stay & it is gaining organic reach.Comparing it to Rival Platform, now we have carousels on Tiktok. And this feature is highly organic when we compare it to Instagram carousels.
Tiktok carousels are an amazing way to post imagery content on platform and you can share more than 10 slides with ability to add sounds. On other hand, You can now add sound to Single images on Instagram but regarding carousels you can only have upto 10 slides with no sound adding feature.
Instagram carousels seem to take a loss here in terms of organic reach & Format freedom. But this format is one of my favourite to build an engaging audience as your audience tend to spend more time consuming your content.
2023.03.20 20:41 CaptainScuttlebottom [OC] Which Round of 32 game thread had the most complaining about the refs? And other analysis of all 54,886 comments from the second round
What is this?
Like I did for the first round, I scraped all the comments from every Round of 32 game thread using the PRAW Python wrapper for Reddit's API, and then analyzed them with R. This time, I ended up with a total of 54,886 comments from 16 threads. I came up with a few interesting ways to look at the data, but let me know if you have any other ideas!Here's the results from the Round of 64: https://old.reddit.com/CollegeBasketball/comments/11utq8b/oc_which_round_of_64_game_thread_had_the_most/
1. Which game thread had the most ref complaints?
I searched each comment for flags like "refs", "rigged", "bullshit call", "refball", etc. that usually indicate a ref complaint. This isn't perfect, because it will include false positives like the rare "the refs are doing a great job!" and exclude contextual / non-flagged things like "that's bullshit", but it gets pretty close. If you have ideas for flags I should search for, please let me know!CHART: Ref complaint leaderboard
This time the KU vs. Arkansas thread topped the list; I can completely understand why, since that was a classic "ten seconds of actual basketball punctuated by two minutes of free throws and ads" game. It was also a very physical, defense-oriented game, so there was a lot of potential calls / noncalls to complain about for both teams' fans.
2. Game thread timelines
I split each game thread up into ten minute chunks, and counted the number of comments made during each interval from each faction. This results in fun little timeline graphs that show you where the action / excitement spiked, what % of each thread was made up of neutrals, etc. I think they're neat, so I included the top ten most commented-on threads here. Let me know if you want to see any others!CHART: Game thread timelines
I really enjoy the graphs for the upsets here; it's pretty funny how you can see the KU / Bama / Houston flairs entering and exiting the thread as the games' outcomes became clear (for example, us KU flairs clearly all left to go re-watch 2022 highlights toward the end). And props to Kentucky fans for seemingly sticking it out until the bitter end!
3. Word clouds
I can also generate word clouds from the data! Here are some fun ones:WORD CLOUD: Full dataset, most used words
WORD CLOUD: Ref complaints only
WORD CLOUD: Arkansas vs. Kansas: KU flairs only and Arkansas flairs only
WORD CLOUD: FDU vs. FAU
I can take requests on these as well if anyone has any!4. Leaderboards
And finally, it's time to see who is winning the real March Madness -- posting on reddit.Top Commenting Teams

| #10 | Arkansas Razorbacks | 1,319 | 136 | 9.70 | 3.23 |
Just like Indiana flairs had a field day with the Round of 64, it looks like MSU fans ran wild over /CollegeBasketball these past two days, taking the #1 spot by over 500 comments. The three blue blood losers make up 2nd through 4th place this round, and our friendly preseason #1 team, UNC, makes a surprise appearance at #7.
Top Ref Complainer Teams (min. 250 comments total in data)
| Rank | Primary Flair | Total Comments | N Ref Complaints | % Ref Complaints |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Arkansas Razorbacks | 1,319 | 118 | 8.95% |

| #9 | Baylor Bears | 676 | 49 | 7.25% |
| #10 | Michigan Wolverines | 823 | 59 | 7.17% |
The Jayhawks and the Razorbacks were in a virtual tie here, which, again, makes plenty of sense. I think this actually vindicates my view that the officiating was god-awful and annoying to watch for both teams. The fact that MSU and Marquette fans are on this list is also no surprise, given how that game went. I do wonder why UVA and Michigan are on here, but I guess that comes down to the 250 comment threshold more than anything else.

This is a completely different top 10 from the round of 64, which I wasn't expecting! None of the 10 people from last time made it, with fancycheesus, elgenie, and ddottay landing just outside at #11, #12, and #15 respectively. I was expecting to see the same group of "power users" throughout the tournament, so now I'm very curious to see who will end up on top once I combine all the rounds into one dataset.
Random fun facts:
- Most toxic thread: This one is kind of tricky this time. The thread with the greatest number of downvoted comments was Duke vs. Tennessee (617 downvoted / 7,248 total = 8.51%), but the one with the greatest percentage was Maryland vs. Alabama (446 / 3,795 = 11.8%). Both were plenty toxic in their own way, so I'll let you decide which was worse.
- Most 'fuck's per Comment: This time the Baylor Bears took first place, with 9.32% of all Baylor fans' comments containing some form of the word "fuck". Classic Baptists, am I right? Second place was Ohio State for some reason -- they took first place in the first round, so I guess OSU fans are just particularly potty-mouthed?
- /CollegeBasketball's most used words: The #1 most common word in this round's dataset was "lol" -- here's the rest of the top 10:
| Word | Instances |
|---|---|
| lol | 2,515 |
| team | 2,183 |
| refs | 2,132 |

2023.03.20 20:33 tomatessechees 10 questions/observations about the Fenix 7 by a trail runner
Posting this here as it didn't get a lot of traction on garmin ... any advice welcome!
After 6+ years using a Suunto Traverse with a defective barometealtimeter, I recently bought a Garmin Fenix 7 and am really enjoying it. I run almost exclusively on non-flat trails and some of the features are quite useful. There are lots of things I am trying to understand about the watch and Garmin's algorithms (the answers to some of these questions are probably not public knowledge).

After 6+ years using a Suunto Traverse with a defective barometealtimeter, I recently bought a Garmin Fenix 7 and am really enjoying it. I run almost exclusively on non-flat trails and some of the features are quite useful. There are lots of things I am trying to understand about the watch and Garmin's algorithms (the answers to some of these questions are probably not public knowledge).
- Auto-laps: How to display other data on the split screen (i.e., when it beeps)? Split time is meaningless for me without lap elevation gain and drop.
- Zones: This is my first watch with a HR sensor and apparently I can sustain a "Zone 4" heart rate for 3+ hrs without a lot of difficulty... does this mean that my zones are defined wrongly (I have let Garmin set the zones automatically)?
- Grade-adjusted pace (GAP): This is a really cool feature, but it is totally useless for steep terrain. Today, I was ascending a 40% section (power-hiking) at about 1400 m/h VAM and it said the live GAP was about 9min/km... in my experience, it should be more like 3:45-4:15min/km. Descending really steep terrain is a similar experience. Any information on the GAP model (e.g., this is Strava's GAP model: https://medium.com/strava-engineering/an-improved-gap-model-8b07ae8886c3)?
- Live VAM (vertical speed): I love this! I use this all the time on my Garmin Edge when cycling (it's the "poor man's power meter" for cycling at gradients >7%) This is a 30s barometer-derived vertical speed like on the Edge, correct? Any way to get this more precise (but not necessarily more accurate) than 50m/h increments (like on Edge)?
- Power: Just how accurate can this possibly be? What data is it using? Just grade+speed? Cadence? Accelerometer?
- Heart rate "cadence locking"... I know the HR sensor on the Fenix 7 is supposed to be the top-of-the-line, but cadence locking has definitely occurred for me at least twice (e.g., 178bpm HR while running a relatively relaxed pace downhill...cadence reads about the same). Any tips on what to do to get it to "unstick" if I notice this is happening while running?
- VO2max estimation: is this calculation done any differently for trail runs vs "runs"? All my harder efforts since I bought the watch are climbing steep (>20% grade) terrain and the number seems a bit low.
- Space (16GB): it is a bit annoying that one cannot put both Europe and North America maps on it at the same time. Does anyone have experience using a work-around with the Fenix 7 range (like https://garmin3.bbbike.org/ ) where you can choose subsets smaller than continents ?
- Stress: seriously? Live stress monitoring? How accurate/useful is this?
- Sleep: this is definitely not my primary interest in this watch, but the watch seems to think I fall asleep well before I actually fall asleep (it tends to take me 20-30 mins to actually fall asleep once I go to bed).
2023.03.20 20:32 communistthrowaway69 The plague of Diegetic essentialism (or, how I learned to stop worrying, and just enjoy the sub)
There's a specter haunting the sub... the specter of... Oh fuck, this bit is played out, isn't it?
Hello everyone, it's been a couple years since my piece asking people to chill about calling things fascist. Just long enough for everyone to forget it and the problem to come right back!
But that essay is a companion to today's topic, as is this ever relevant video by FoldingIdeas about The Thermian Argument.
Today, I want to talk about diegetic essentialism, how it poisons discourse, and is a cynical ploy by corporations to get you to mindlessly consume their products. And, especially, how it's managed to infect Warhammer and Sigmarxism in particular.
Ok, so there are actually a lot of other terms to describe this phenomenon, which has become pandemic over the past decade. Lore brain, Wookipediaism, the Thermian Argument, Cinema Sins-esque, Funko Pop Sunnism (ok, I made up that last one too).
But being the fucking insufferable, over educated losers that we are, we decided the best label was diegetic essentialism. The perfect academia poisoned definition. Exactly descriptive, but so wrapped up in jargon, it can't be understood on its own. So what does it mean?
The diegesis is a work of fiction's "universe." It is the imaginary place where the story is unfolding. There's a joke that's common in movies that explains the concept perfectly. A soundtrack is played over the intro, and when the credits are finished, a character leans over and turns off the radio, cutting the song short. The joke being, you thought it was the film's soundtrack, something the characters can't hear, but it was actually diegetic sound, sound that existed "in that universe." The joke being that there kind of isn't a real difference (hyuk hyuk).
Essentialism just means the only valid thing. To be essentialist is to say that something has an underlying, a priori nature that cannot be denied.
Put em together? It means someone who thinks the only way to analyze, critique, or understand fiction is as though it were real. To the DEckhead (how I'll be referring to the diegetic essentialist from now on), a work of fiction is like a keyhole into an alternate universe as real as ours.
There's nothing inherently wrong with this, it's often how we enjoy something as a consumer. And the DEckhead is nothing if not a consoomer.
While we're watching a movie or reading a book, we allow ourselves to pretend like it's real. It's fun.
But when a normal person returns to reality, they understand that fiction not only isn't real, not only can't be real, but isn't intended to be, beyond the fun of enjoying it.
It is something which is produced by artists, authors, actors. It may or may not have clarity of purpose, themes, intended takeaways, cultural criticisms, etc. It might just be something someone thought was cool.
In a movie like, say, Scott Pilgrim (I know but it's a good example here), when Scott punches someone they burst into coins. This is obviously not intended to be real. In the "universe" of Scott Pilgrim, people are not made of coins, it's just a fun video game reference, an absurdist joke.
But this is true even in something like Superman. When Supe punches someone, he's not really punching someone. The physics of that would be like being impaled by a telephone pole. No, the punch is essentially metaphorical. Evil is defeated by the strength of justice. A punch is the psychologically satisfying, "non violent" way to do that. IRL it actually very easily could kill the petty criminal the same way a knife or a gun could, but it's something our brains can passively accept, it feels right.
This is a critical aspect of media comprehension. Most aspects of a story are thematic. They're not meant to be understood as literally real, but rather meant to evoke the feeling of something real.
The DEckhead does not understand this, or, chooses not to, and gets angry at people who don't follow along. To them, a fictional universe is a consistent, coherent place that exists beyond the boundaries of the text in question. And the only thing you're allowed to do is contribute to "the canon." A term which was literally invented as a joke that is now taken 100% seriously. Welcome to the internet, enjoy your signal decay.
Our sub's eternal enemy, 40klore, is a perfect example of this.
Always are they searching for "evidence" of what something is "really" like, or who would win what fight. You know the type.
Which primarch has the biggest dick? What does Shadowsun eat for breakfast? Questions that, even if an author explicitly spells them out, do not have answers, because they are not real.
Let me give you some other examples to give you an idea how absurd this exercise is:
Does Gandalf have colon cancer? Does Pikachu like dubstep? Did Captain Ahab have imposter syndrome? Hopefully, you're getting the idea. Characters exist to serve a story, they don't have a reality independent of that.
And the only thing that determines what happens next in a story is what an author decides will happen next. That's it. This is true even of historical fiction or works like The Martian, in which the original author went to great lengths to make it as "realistic" as possible. But "Realism" is essentially a genre trapping. It's like a lightsaber color, it's just there to help you enjoy the work. It can't be real.
So here's a great example from the sub that everyone isn't sick to death of, female space marines!
What does the DEckhead say? There can't be female marines because there's no geneseed for them. What does the other DEckhead say? Cawl could totally do it if he did primaris!
These answers are categorically wrong. There were female marines, but they didn't sell as well, and for logistical reasons, they were dropped. Lore was invented to justify this. And it stays that way because the cultivated identity of your marine consumer expects it to stay that way (we will talk about this term later), and would go Gamergate on GW if it changed. GW likes money, and not rocking the boat, so without a compelling reason to blow up their current fanbase, they maintain a piece of fluff so that it's "impossible." ("It's an easy fix! One line of dialogue, thank God we invented the uhh.. You know... Whatever, device.")
This is the only coherent answer. "Lore" reasons are for idiots, and are literally wrong. It's like thinking that Toucan Sam controls what goes into froot loops.
Of course, I'm not saying you can't enjoy fiction on its own terms. But when criticizing it, you must think of it in material terms, as a production made by authors with intent. Lest you fall into this mental trap.
So how is this relevant to us, and why is it bad? Seems straightforward right? Can we be done here?
Well, unfortunately, DE is the tip of a very ugly cultural iceberg. We have a lot to talk about. About late capitalism, about the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, and about how one of capitalism's new frontiers is our brains, and how they've been fully colonized.
Ugh, fuck, like my sister essay, this is way too long. We will break it up with memes and jokes. Bear with me, I'm going somewhere with this.
Pick any medium: TV, streaming, books, games, movies, music, fuck, even board and tabletop games.
The production and sale of entertainment products is more voluminous than ever. The sheer quantity of things released, even good things, is so large, that even if it were your full time job, you couldn't keep up with just one of these mediums, let alone multiple.
Sometimes people in the same hobby, that like the same genre, maybe even the same property, won't have anything in common with each other.
It did not used to be this way. For better or for worse, "pop culture" used to mean pretty much everyone had seen something. In 1991, 22 million people watched the season finale of Dallas. Now, something with a 2 million person fanbase is considered strong.
As more and more media is produced, it is competing with an ever shrinking attention span. You literally don't have time for this shit.
What results is an alienated, fractured fan "community," one in which you're forced to seek out other atomized individuals to even know someone who's experienced the same thing as you.
And this problem is only getting worse. With the proliferation of choices, not only is there an ocean of garbage to wade through, but a calculation has to be made whether that thing is even worth experiencing if you'll never even meet someone else who has as well.
Ever scrolled through Netflix for hours and found nothing to watch? Ever paid good money for a game on steam and never once played it? How many books are you planning to eventually read, only to find that by the time you start, they're not relevant anymore?
There used to be a thought experiment in philosophy like this: if you had a superpower where you could make any movie you want, but only you could see it, would you want it?
That's not a thought experiment anymore, it is functionally true.
As a result, very few cultural properties have any lasting impact, and fewer still will even experience them. And so they become shallower as a result. They need to appeal to ever increasing crowds of people but still have nothing to say. How can you make a resonant cultural impact, when the culture is essentially a shattered mirror of little cultivated fandoms? How can you even know how to speak to people? This is, not coincidentally, why every show sounds like Twitter now.
Now this part of things I'm not an expert in. A lot of people make a lot of money figuring this shit out. But the outline of it isn't hard to understand.
If you're selling people a product, you're kind of a sucker. The buyer gets to evaluate whether that product is worth their money, and you have to convince them that it is, based on its quality, with consequences involved for lying or falling short.
But what if instead, you could convince someone that the product is part of their identity? You're not a customer, you're a blorbo! And you can't wait for blorb 13, the blorbening!
What does it matter if it's good? A blorbo blorbs. Duh.
Obviously, I made this sound as stupid as possible. And yet, how many people call themselves gamers? Hobbyists? Superfans? YouTubers? Even "nerd" and "leftist" can fall into this category.
This isn't like being a film buff, which has expectations of expertise involved. And it's not like an ordinary fandom or genre appreciator, e.g., a metalhead. This is merely a consumer category. You get in the club by being someone continually buying into something, regardless of quality or expertise.
It's pernicious, and it's a highly effective way to cut through all the noise.
Why buy the next thing? Because it's your identity. You could avoid it, if you wanted. But then you're back to that screaming void of attempting to parse through an ocean of stuff based on its quality, which no one else may even know about. Worse, the more people become like this, the less you can relate to them unless you become the same thing.
How many of you have read all of the Horus Heresy novels, all 60-something of them, even though you can count on your fingers which ones aren't complete dogshit?
I own all the Broken Realms books, and I sit and defend AoS on this sub all the time. Why? That shit is online somewhere for free, and I don't give a shit what redditors think about a game I enjoy playing.
It's because GW colonized our brains. In order to keep you onboard, they want you thinking about Warhammer all the fucking time. They want it to be the only thing you consume.
Have you ever looked at something in real life and said, "hey! That's just like Warhammer!" But no, it obviously isn't. That's their marketing with its hooks in you. That's the brainworm they inserted so you'll keep coming back.
And now that I've mentioned this, you probably see it everywhere. Video games that demand they be the only things you play. Endless manga and anime that never has a satisfactory conclusion. TV or books that go on forever and have spinoffs and sequels and tie ins and etc etc etc.
This differs from just making more content for things that are popular. The goal of these kinds of franchises is to be totaling. Warhammer, in particular, is so impenetrable that you can't know it all (even if it is a mile wide and an inch deep, which is actually intentional.)
Marvel of course is the clear juggernaut here. You could live your entire life in a Marvel bubble, if you wanted to. There's that much content.
Shit, even things like apps have the same strategy. Endlessly consuming your attention, refusing to let you go long past when you're getting any use out of it. How often do you even remember what memes you looked at an hour after you put your phone down?
How do they cast this spell on us? Why does this work?
Real media criticism is like the product comparison we made before. Is this a good fiction? Are its themes coherent? What were the authors trying to say? Were the performances good? Etc etc.
You may notice, these are essentially subjective questions, which are the bane of both capital and the hopeless nerd.
If I judge something as bad, it's not easy to convince me otherwise. So you need to pull the conversation away from that, into something "objective."
Enter diegetic essentialism. The goal here is not to evaluate any substantive question. The goal is to establish canon. Quality and artistic merit are essentially irrelevant. And the author might as well be god himself. Aloof and unknowable.
In a deeply bitter form of irony, many DEckheads actually invoke death of the author as evidence for why a story can only mean what its "canon" implies it means. Symbolism? Allegory? Metaphor? These things don't exist. Only "details." Details established by fan arguments.
In this environment, it becomes very difficult to relate actual media criticism to the cultivated identity DEckhead. It tends to annoy them, or "spoil the fun." You're evaluating quality and artistry? That's not why we're here, bucko.
For you to fit into these properties, and therefore not be lost in the cultural wasteland, you begin to compete to be the biggest "fan." The best lore understander, the most details knower, the most hours logged on, the takes haver.
What becomes important is not actual construction of meaning, talent in performance, or even just having a good time, it's constructing the cultural justification for why it's worth it to stay in this identity.
I know you know what I mean.
How often have you been roped in to an argument about the Tau? How long have you spent memorizing the details of battles that did not happen and aren't even consistent? How many marketing names do you know for troops that have slightly different weapons?
When you're trapped in DE, all you can do is talk about the details. Everyone is in the walled garden. You're not a visitor here, you're trapped.
When we say 40k sucks, what we mean is the vast majority of it is zero effort reactionary garbage. Sure, some of it isn't, but that's the exception.
GW rarely or never credits their authors and artists anymore (their newest paint teacher is hands only lmao). They regularly shit can excellent story ideas if they can't connect to minis sales.
How can this dreck be worth thinking about? It's not just that it isn't real, that's obvious. It's not even really trying.
And yet that won't stop 40klore from furiously discussing the implications of bimchus boltbutt falling to chaos, all one paragraph written about it. And it won't stop someone else from spending two hours digging through wikis (which are like religious monuments dedicated to DE) to "prove" or "disprove" something that was never real and will be overwritten by the next book anyway.
Most of you are subconsciously aware of this. Be honest, when was the last time you really read any of the books? Compare that to how often you read a wiki instead, or, god help us, watched a "loretuber."
It's not your fault, it's because it's bad. It's not worth reading 80% of these things. Your brain rebels against it.
At one point, they existed to help you tell a cool story while you were playing a fun game.
Now? They exist to perpetuate a corporate juggernaut with a 30% profit margin. The game is deliberately designed to be miserable to incentivize new model purchases. And Black Library greases that engine.
Influencers and superfans consume and regurgitate "information" and "lore" to a series of people who've decided they "like" something that they literally don't like.
And you keep up with it because otherwise, you don't get to be in the "fandom." Hilariously, a lot of the arguments people make on here are incorrect even in DEckhead terms. Like it's obvious to someone who has read lore when someone else has not. But accuracy isn't even important to the DEckhead. Not really. Just that it exists to argue about.
And now we come to it. The conclusion that will piss a lot of you off.
Despite being nominally anti capitalist, after the honeymoon period of escaping to the left, there is a lingering "what do I do now" that this same market mechanism is happy to latch onto.
"Breadtubers," shitty podcasts, awful electoral politics horseracing, they all fit into this same niche. An endless stream of content to deliberate on, but not act on or organize for.
Worse, since people falsely associate liberalism with the left, and liberals have increasingly become hysterical about the need to "improve" media, rather than improve material conditions, people start using diegetic essentialism to police their own fiction for elements that aren't in it.
How. Many. Fucking. Times. Have you read a thread, on this sub, from people who definitely should know better (and I do not exempt myself one bit) about how X faction is (fascist, capitalist, cringe, based, comrade, etc.) because of some snippet of their lore that clearly no author was trying to communicate, and that the story barely supports?
It's ok if you're just having fun, but we are so far past that point.
Stir made a joke a long time ago about how often the word "anarchy" is used in the Beasts of Chaos and Tzeentch battletomes in Age of Sigmar, and how it would be funny if someone thought that made them anarchist comrades instead of the clearly negative connotation GW puts on the word.
Only that's not a joke, that eventually did happen.
It's ironic that despite how saturated the internet is now with media analysis types with related degrees from universities, media literacy is probably worse than it's ever been.
When you make an argument like "Salamanders are comrades because in this book they did a thing that was nice, and that's like communism, so they're communists," you are doing the leftist version of DE to keep this consumer identity going. It is exactly the same as a shitty 40klore thread (redundant, I know).
It is the "leftist" version of "no female space marines."
Or, not to put this user on blast, but the recent "Chorfs are capitalist?!??" post is another great example. It would be one thing if we could examine the story and see their mode of production and, wow, look, the author included enclosure of the commons and theft of surplus value, I wonder if that was intentional? But no. The argument is "Chorfs are greedy industrialists. Capitalism has greedy industrialists. Chorfs capitalist?!??"
Lost in this kind of nonsense are basic critical questions. E.g., what was the author(s)' intent? What is the value of this criticism? Is this what the story is about, or is there only incidental interpretive evidence?
What's happening here, is leftists are using the Thermian Argument in reverse. They're using DE to say a story objectively has a message that it does not possess, and that no author intended. And, even worse, that even the interpretation is an idiotic stretch. All this to keep the fan content churning.
Do you see how foolish this exercise is? Do you see how the point isn't to critique or analyze or enjoy a work, but to create a competitive context to keep people trapped in these consumer categories?
It would be one thing if, like is the case with Krieg and Space Marines, people were deliberately misinterpreting lore as an endorsement of fascism (using an admittedly lazy and inconsistent framing where they're arguably not wrong). Especially since there's a material effect that misinterpretation(?) has on our lives.
But if we're just arguing about the fucking lore, the answer is that's it's just a bunch of shit designed by Tory adjacent Anglos to sell toys. That's it. Most Warhammer fluff isn't even worth analysis or critique, it's got nothing in it. Even the DEckhead has to scrape the bottom of the barrel most times. Sometimes literal sentences are their only "evidence."
If you want to break out of this hell, you have to start using actual tools of critical media analysis. And absolutely the first step of that is throwing Diegetic Essentialism out the window.
Don't think about lore as real, think of it as decoration for a product, made by tired authors and artists who largely aren't getting any credit.
When you want to have one of these silly takes, ask yourself instead, "what was the person writing this lore trying to accomplish?"
The answer typically, in Warhammer's case, is not much.
This is not to say there's nothing about it to discuss, far from it. We could talk all day about what Warhammer considers normal and what it says about Western values.
But there's no intelligent things to glean from the lore itself.
If you don't want to be a consumer brained moron, stop asking """''factual""""" questions about the lore, and ask instead, "what did the author mean?" "How was this work produced and for what reason?" "Who made it?" "How does it make me feel and what are its themes?" And, most importantly, "is this even good? Is it even worth my time or analysis?"
Otherwise, you're just trapping yourself into a series of pointless arguments to justify your consumption, forever. And you'll be polluting the sub, and dragging everyone else down with you.
Peace, thank you for reading this incredibly stupid essay.

Hello everyone, it's been a couple years since my piece asking people to chill about calling things fascist. Just long enough for everyone to forget it and the problem to come right back!
But that essay is a companion to today's topic, as is this ever relevant video by FoldingIdeas about The Thermian Argument.
Today, I want to talk about diegetic essentialism, how it poisons discourse, and is a cynical ploy by corporations to get you to mindlessly consume their products. And, especially, how it's managed to infect Warhammer and Sigmarxism in particular.
Introduction: Don't be a DEckhead
If you Google the term "Diegetic Essentialism," the first result is....this sub? What the fuck? Did we make up this term? Shit, that can't be right.Ok, so there are actually a lot of other terms to describe this phenomenon, which has become pandemic over the past decade. Lore brain, Wookipediaism, the Thermian Argument, Cinema Sins-esque, Funko Pop Sunnism (ok, I made up that last one too).
But being the fucking insufferable, over educated losers that we are, we decided the best label was diegetic essentialism. The perfect academia poisoned definition. Exactly descriptive, but so wrapped up in jargon, it can't be understood on its own. So what does it mean?

Ugh, fuck, like my sister essay, this is way too long. We will break it up with memes and jokes. Bear with me, I'm going somewhere with this.
Media saturation and the attention economy
Have you noticed recently that there's just, like, way too much shit?Pick any medium: TV, streaming, books, games, movies, music, fuck, even board and tabletop games.
The production and sale of entertainment products is more voluminous than ever. The sheer quantity of things released, even good things, is so large, that even if it were your full time job, you couldn't keep up with just one of these mediums, let alone multiple.

This is, not coincidentally, why every show sounds like Twitter now.
The walled garden, the cultivated consumer identity
Corporations have a term they use, cultivated identity, to describe a marketing and sales strategy for how you break through an environment like this.Now this part of things I'm not an expert in. A lot of people make a lot of money figuring this shit out. But the outline of it isn't hard to understand.
If you're selling people a product, you're kind of a sucker. The buyer gets to evaluate whether that product is worth their money, and you have to convince them that it is, based on its quality, with consequences involved for lying or falling short.

This differs from just making more content for things that are popular. The goal of these kinds of franchises is to be totaling. Warhammer, in particular, is so impenetrable that you can't know it all (even if it is a mile wide and an inch deep, which is actually intentional.)
Marvel of course is the clear juggernaut here. You could live your entire life in a Marvel bubble, if you wanted to. There's that much content.
Shit, even things like apps have the same strategy. Endlessly consuming your attention, refusing to let you go long past when you're getting any use out of it. How often do you even remember what memes you looked at an hour after you put your phone down?
How do they cast this spell on us? Why does this work?
Competitive identity and fandom
And now we return to D.E., and its role in this.Real media criticism is like the product comparison we made before. Is this a good fiction? Are its themes coherent? What were the authors trying to say? Were the performances good? Etc etc.
You may notice, these are essentially subjective questions, which are the bane of both capital and the hopeless nerd.
If I judge something as bad, it's not easy to convince me otherwise. So you need to pull the conversation away from that, into something "objective."
Enter diegetic essentialism. The goal here is not to evaluate any substantive question. The goal is to establish canon. Quality and artistic merit are essentially irrelevant. And the author might as well be god himself. Aloof and unknowable.
In a deeply bitter form of irony, many DEckheads actually invoke death of the author as evidence for why a story can only mean what its "canon" implies it means. Symbolism? Allegory? Metaphor? These things don't exist. Only "details." Details established by fan arguments.
In this environment, it becomes very difficult to relate actual media criticism to the cultivated identity DEckhead. It tends to annoy them, or "spoil the fun." You're evaluating quality and artistry? That's not why we're here, bucko.
For you to fit into these properties, and therefore not be lost in the cultural wasteland, you begin to compete to be the biggest "fan." The best lore understander, the most details knower, the most hours logged on, the takes haver.
What becomes important is not actual construction of meaning, talent in performance, or even just having a good time, it's constructing the cultural justification for why it's worth it to stay in this identity.
I know you know what I mean.
How often have you been roped in to an argument about the Tau? How long have you spent memorizing the details of battles that did not happen and aren't even consistent? How many marketing names do you know for troops that have slightly different weapons?
When you're trapped in DE, all you can do is talk about the details. Everyone is in the walled garden. You're not a visitor here, you're trapped.
When we say 40k sucks, what we mean is the vast majority of it is zero effort reactionary garbage. Sure, some of it isn't, but that's the exception.
GW rarely or never credits their authors and artists anymore (their newest paint teacher is hands only lmao). They regularly shit can excellent story ideas if they can't connect to minis sales.
How can this dreck be worth thinking about? It's not just that it isn't real, that's obvious. It's not even really trying.
And yet that won't stop 40klore from furiously discussing the implications of bimchus boltbutt falling to chaos, all one paragraph written about it. And it won't stop someone else from spending two hours digging through wikis (which are like religious monuments dedicated to DE) to "prove" or "disprove" something that was never real and will be overwritten by the next book anyway.
Most of you are subconsciously aware of this. Be honest, when was the last time you really read any of the books? Compare that to how often you read a wiki instead, or, god help us, watched a "loretuber."
It's not your fault, it's because it's bad. It's not worth reading 80% of these things. Your brain rebels against it.
At one point, they existed to help you tell a cool story while you were playing a fun game.
Now? They exist to perpetuate a corporate juggernaut with a 30% profit margin. The game is deliberately designed to be miserable to incentivize new model purchases. And Black Library greases that engine.
Influencers and superfans consume and regurgitate "information" and "lore" to a series of people who've decided they "like" something that they literally don't like.
And you keep up with it because otherwise, you don't get to be in the "fandom." Hilariously, a lot of the arguments people make on here are incorrect even in DEckhead terms. Like it's obvious to someone who has read lore when someone else has not. But accuracy isn't even important to the DEckhead. Not really. Just that it exists to argue about.
And now we come to it. The conclusion that will piss a lot of you off.
""""""""""Leftist"""''"""""" Diegetic Essentialism
Leftist is essentially in this category too. Because it doesn't have a strict, coherent meaning like, say, Marxist-Leninist or Anarcho-Communist.Despite being nominally anti capitalist, after the honeymoon period of escaping to the left, there is a lingering "what do I do now" that this same market mechanism is happy to latch onto.
"Breadtubers," shitty podcasts, awful electoral politics horseracing, they all fit into this same niche. An endless stream of content to deliberate on, but not act on or organize for.
Worse, since people falsely associate liberalism with the left, and liberals have increasingly become hysterical about the need to "improve" media, rather than improve material conditions, people start using diegetic essentialism to police their own fiction for elements that aren't in it.
How. Many. Fucking. Times. Have you read a thread, on this sub, from people who definitely should know better (and I do not exempt myself one bit) about how X faction is (fascist, capitalist, cringe, based, comrade, etc.) because of some snippet of their lore that clearly no author was trying to communicate, and that the story barely supports?
It's ok if you're just having fun, but we are so far past that point.
Stir made a joke a long time ago about how often the word "anarchy" is used in the Beasts of Chaos and Tzeentch battletomes in Age of Sigmar, and how it would be funny if someone thought that made them anarchist comrades instead of the clearly negative connotation GW puts on the word.
Only that's not a joke, that eventually did happen.
It's ironic that despite how saturated the internet is now with media analysis types with related degrees from universities, media literacy is probably worse than it's ever been.
The takeaway: Thematic/Material Analysis, vs diegetic essentialist problematic interpretations
Fuck, are we at the end yet? Thank God. The tl;dr is almost here.When you make an argument like "Salamanders are comrades because in this book they did a thing that was nice, and that's like communism, so they're communists," you are doing the leftist version of DE to keep this consumer identity going. It is exactly the same as a shitty 40klore thread (redundant, I know).
It is the "leftist" version of "no female space marines."
Or, not to put this user on blast, but the recent "Chorfs are capitalist?!??" post is another great example. It would be one thing if we could examine the story and see their mode of production and, wow, look, the author included enclosure of the commons and theft of surplus value, I wonder if that was intentional? But no. The argument is "Chorfs are greedy industrialists. Capitalism has greedy industrialists. Chorfs capitalist?!??"
Lost in this kind of nonsense are basic critical questions. E.g., what was the author(s)' intent? What is the value of this criticism? Is this what the story is about, or is there only incidental interpretive evidence?
What's happening here, is leftists are using the Thermian Argument in reverse. They're using DE to say a story objectively has a message that it does not possess, and that no author intended. And, even worse, that even the interpretation is an idiotic stretch. All this to keep the fan content churning.
Do you see how foolish this exercise is? Do you see how the point isn't to critique or analyze or enjoy a work, but to create a competitive context to keep people trapped in these consumer categories?
It would be one thing if, like is the case with Krieg and Space Marines, people were deliberately misinterpreting lore as an endorsement of fascism (using an admittedly lazy and inconsistent framing where they're arguably not wrong). Especially since there's a material effect that misinterpretation(?) has on our lives.
But if we're just arguing about the fucking lore, the answer is that's it's just a bunch of shit designed by Tory adjacent Anglos to sell toys. That's it. Most Warhammer fluff isn't even worth analysis or critique, it's got nothing in it. Even the DEckhead has to scrape the bottom of the barrel most times. Sometimes literal sentences are their only "evidence."
If you want to break out of this hell, you have to start using actual tools of critical media analysis. And absolutely the first step of that is throwing Diegetic Essentialism out the window.
Don't think about lore as real, think of it as decoration for a product, made by tired authors and artists who largely aren't getting any credit.
When you want to have one of these silly takes, ask yourself instead, "what was the person writing this lore trying to accomplish?"
The answer typically, in Warhammer's case, is not much.
This is not to say there's nothing about it to discuss, far from it. We could talk all day about what Warhammer considers normal and what it says about Western values.
But there's no intelligent things to glean from the lore itself.
The tl;dr
There is no canon. The lore is not real. It cannot mean or imply anything not expressed by the authors and artists, or so strongly evident in the assumptions of the story, that it's an inescapable facet of it (e.g. Imperium and fascism).If you don't want to be a consumer brained moron, stop asking """''factual""""" questions about the lore, and ask instead, "what did the author mean?" "How was this work produced and for what reason?" "Who made it?" "How does it make me feel and what are its themes?" And, most importantly, "is this even good? Is it even worth my time or analysis?"
Otherwise, you're just trapping yourself into a series of pointless arguments to justify your consumption, forever. And you'll be polluting the sub, and dragging everyone else down with you.
Peace, thank you for reading this incredibly stupid essay.

 | submitted by txnkxcvayi to bu4ytpoxjz [link] [comments] IF YOU TAP HERE YOU WILL CUMIF YOU TAP HERE YOU WILL CUMIF YOU TAP HERE YOU WILL CUMhttps://i.redd.it/x58i1jxa4yoa1.gifMy phone rang, it was Minna, great. Reluctantly I picked up, I needed to figure out what was going on. "hey s-" I cut her off "do you have a boyfriend?!" she didn't respond "let me repeat myself do you have a boyfriend?!" "of course not silly" she said with a smile I her voice "that's good cause I thought you were dating timothy miller" there was a long silence She began sobbing "I'm sor-" I cut her off again "what the he'll is your problem you cheat on your boyfriend that you don't tell me about and when I ask you about it, instead of coming clean you lied again then you try to apologies once you realize you have been caught, what the Fuck is your problem" I was pissed now, I was like an explosion without an end. "what the hell" I continued "you arnt aloud in my house ever again and I don't ever want to see your face again you two timing bitch" and I hung up with a simple click. I was furious ran out to my back yard grabbing a rock the size of a base ball and hurling it over the fence and into the yard of the nabber two houses down I turned around and fell to my knees on the grass hitting it hard over and over. Finally I was able to control myself and went inside it was 3:48pm I made something to eat and walked up stairs to my room and laid on my bed as I called my boss and told him I was not feeling so good and needed a week off he said sence I had worked so much over time lately that it shouldn't hurt my pay check, witch I was relived to hear I hung up and stared at the ceiling thinking to my self about what the hell was happening with my life and why me of all people I thought what I should do I thought about so many things I thought I should forgive her and move on then I thought I should forget her then I thought I should get back at her and I slowly without knowing drifted to sleep. When I woke I looked at the clock 9:26pm, it was dark out I loved the night time it made me feel save like nobody was watching me like I could do anything I wanted I felt free,relived and confident,usually I would go on walks at night to clear my mine to night I dicided, I needed to clear my mind. I grabed my favorite gray and black sweatshirt putting it on and pushing the sleeves up until they were at my elbows, grabbed my house key locked up be hind me and off I went. It was cold out I liked it sometimes I don't know why I just do I walked past the park and saw a couple makingout on the bench to my right as I kept walking I passed the abandoned house that drunks usually stayed In I knew this walk by heart I could do it with my eyes closed I go on walks to much it just reminds me of what a mess my life is. I got to my old elementry school I walked around it once and sat on the big play structur yet again thinking, I checked the time it was 10:51pm I lay down looking at the stars I remember my mom and I used to count them together just her and I but that was a long time ago I started to count smiling to myself just for old times sake, I got to twenty six when I saw something out of the corner of my eye I sat up and saw a person running, a girl then another figur that looked like a man; he quickly out ran her and grabbed her arm I jumped down walking toward them they hadn't seen me yet and for all I know they could be playing a game but or they could be trying to kill each other you never know. He brutally slapped the girl and said "you slut you lying slut you said you wernt pregnant" " your drunk" the girl said "please relax let go of me" tears streaming down her eyes I knew it wasn't a game I crept behind the man unnoticed and jumped on his back putting him in a sleeper hold "the fuck!!" was all he could manage to choke out as he staggered to the wall and slammed me into the it; but I held on he was struggling panicking wasting his last bit of oxygen and he passed out, the girl just stood there. " are you ok" I asked "y-yeah" she stamerd looking a little shocked by what just happened "do you need anything?" "no" "I know it's not my business what what was that about?" "I have a twin sister that's her boyfriend he got her pregnant she wasn't feeling good and was throwing up every were she didn't want him to find out so I went on her date with him pretending to my sister kaylie. He was drunk and had hit me so I ran" "what is your name?" "hailey" "that's a pretty name do you have a place to stay?" "I can walk to my house it's about five or six miles from here" "would you like me to walk you home? It's pretty dark we can go to my place and grab flash lights" "if you don't mind I dont want to be a bother" "of course not come on it's only a little over a mile" "ok" she said as we began walking off to my house. She was about two inches shorter than me with maybe 34-B cup breasts, a good ass, blonde hair, pretty face and fairly strong arms and legs she looked athletic. She was holding her self tightly she had a short sleeved shirt on and no jacket she looked freezing so I did the gentlemanly think to do and took off my jacket and wrapped it around her she looked at me with a warm smile, she had a pretty smile one of the smiles that you're always trying to see more of. " thank you " she said followed by a hug "so how old are you?" she asked me "I'm thirteen years old. What about you?" "I'm fourteen" she smiled "I'm only a year ahead of you sevie" "well that changes everything" I said grabbing her hand We continued in silence we both had smiles on our faces so I decided to enjoy the moment. in about two minutes we reached my house I unlocked the door and started to walk up the stairs. "what are you doing?" she asked "grabbing flashlights" "can I follow you?" "sure I do t see why not" She came upstairs after me I walked into my room with her on my heels she put her hand lightly on my shoulder. When I turned around she was right in front of my face giving me the most passionate kiss I had ever had. instinctively I pushed my tung into her mouth and she welcomed it, we fell onto my bed and she broke the kiss sliding her hands up my chest and took off my shirt she kissed me again and reached down my pants to pull out my nine inch fully erect cock her jaw dropped but was soon replaced by lust and the thought if it filling her. she sat on top of me as she slide her shirt off wile undoing her bra Her boobs sprang out they may not have been huge but hell were they perky; I reached out and pinched her nipple wile rolling it between my fingers as she moaned in approval that just turned me on more I leaned in taking her nipple into my mouth as I circled and flicked it with my tung "STOP" she said "please stop I can't take any more I have to fuck you" she sat up strait takeing off her pants followed by her blue laced panties with matched her bra that was long gone. she smiled with lust in her eyes as she lay on me kissing me with passion then her sobbing wet pussy engulfed my cock without warning as I let out a groan she was so tight it was amazing even with her juices it was a tight fit. "fuck me" she said "fuck me till I cum then cum inside me fill me with your sperm please" That was all I needed I flipped her on her back, ramming. The last three inches if my cock in to her pussy as she screamed in pleasure followed by moans. Our pubic bones were pressed together she was breathing fast and shallow I took my cock out five inches then slammed it into her pussy as she moaned loudly in approval I sped up going faster and faster I wasn't going to last much longer. "I'm gonna cum soon" I told her "yes fill me with your cum" I rammed her pussy so hard you could hear my balls slapping into her ass. Her pussy clamped down on my cock and I couldn't hold it any longer and I blew my load, her pussy milking every last drop of cum out of me. I lay back exhausted as she took my now deflated cock into her mouth licking off her juices. "what's you're name again" I asked her She stoped sucking and replied "hailey" with a grin " and don't forget it " "you have an amazing pussy" "you have an amazing cock, and I don't think you ever told me your name" "Jake" I replied "Jake hhhmmmmm" she said with the sexiest smile on her face "what are you doing next weekend" "nothing yet" "great I'll meet you Saturday 8:30pm" she said wile struggling to get her jeans on "the elementary school" now putting her bra on "and don't be late" she said a little muffled due to her Tshirt over her face as slipped it on and walked out as she waved good bye. "I'll be there" I shouted then herd the door close as I laid my head down on my pillow staring at the ceiling then going down stairs and locking the door I flipped off the hall light walked to my room and lay there until I fell asleep. I woke up to a dry throat and my usual morning wood, as I replayed last nights events in my head. She must have left around 11:30 or 12:00 last night, what did it matter I thought as I glanced at the clock it was 9am little early. I walked down stairs looking at the calendar on the frig, it was Sunday school tomorrow. "aaahhhhh" I said out loud. "I do not feel like going to school" I opens the freezer grabing two eggo waffles and throwing them in the toaster as I grabed a plate a knife and some peanut butter setting it on the counter thinking about math class. We had a test Monday on algebraic equations, I know what the X and Y represent but I still don't see why they had to use letters to screw with my head even more. My thought was interupted by the pop of the toaster I grabed the waffles laying them on my plate and spreading peanut butter over both then putting them together letting it melt alittle as I took a big bite. I wonder if minna will find out what I did last night? I thought. Then again why the hell should I care about what that bitch thinks she used me as a peice of meat, probably cause she was sick of her boyfriend.
