I bought Stand Regular a few months back and since rockstar are adding security features or have added security features. I was wondering if I should go the extra mile and upgrade my key to have access to everything the menu has to offer. However, I am unsure if I should do it as rockstar may add more security features in the future and I don't want my money to go to waste if mod menus become a thing of the past. What do you think though? Should I upgrade my license to Stand Ultimate or stay at Stand Regular?

Okay so I picked up a few controllers.
1 SNES (used for all Nintendo Cores) 1 Sega Genesis (used for Sega Genesis and other similar cores)
I'm using RetroArch on my Arcade Cabinet (iPac2 controller) with Big Box to navigate RetroArch it self.
Using Batman for the NES I mapped out the SNES controller to act as an NES controller. Set Device to SNES controller... Set the enable HotKey to a button on my Cabinet. Saved the profile, Also saved the Configuration under new Configuration in the main menu.
However when I load Batman for the NES nothing saved, I need to hit f1 and load the device. Doesn't saving a new config force RA to remember the controller used?
Also the Hotkey is -- not the key I assigned.
I was running RA 1.9.xx ...so i just updated it to 1.15.xx to see if that was the issue. It wasn't.
I have followed all the tips and tricks, what am I missing? Why can't it load the controller that is associated with that core? Or am i miss understanding how cores work with controllers?
EDIT: I should Also clarify that when the controller is plugged in the USB port RA does notify me that it's been detected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

[01] When does the server reset?
For global, dailies reset at 19:00 UTC and weeklies reset on Sunday.
[02] Should I re-roll this account?
This will depend on your priorities with PvE, PvP, or both, but you can generally see the “ideal” units as Iori, Hibiki, and Tsubaki for most content, while Shun and Haruna are great for PvP.
[03] Who should I spend my elephs on? Who should I mystic unlock?
At the start, prioritize spending your blank elephs on getting Serina to 2-star for the increased healing stat, Tsubaki to 3-star for the extra tankiness when she is reloading. It is generally advised not to spend your elephs on increasing characters to 4-star and 5-star ratings, since there is only a stat increase and the amount of elephs needed is quite high.
[04] What do my support students’ stats do?
Aside from increasing the stats of their own skills, support students will provide additional stat boosts to your striker team. The specific increase(s) can be viewed by clicking on “Support” on the right side of the team formation screen.
[05] What should I buy in the shop?

• Credit Shop - Buy out the bottom row of materials, then the first two tiers of enhancement stones as needed. Feel free to buy the higher tiers of enhancement stones if you feel that you have an excess of credits, which is very common.
• Eligma - This will depend on you, can reference question [03].
• Total Assault (raid) - Prioritize Maki’s elephs (until you unlock her) and save the rest of your currency for future updates that will add more low-rarity students to the shop, meaning you can unlock mystic for them without spending your eligma. You can also purchase the skill discs/blu-rays depending on your needs.
• Tactical Challenge (PvP) - Buy out the energy drinks as needed (warning: they are instantly consumed, they won’t be moved to your inventory). Many suggest to save these for events in order to buy drinks, refresh the shop, and repeat.

[06] What does the “leader” position do?
This is purely cosmetic, as it changes which student’s chibi shows up on the map.
[07] What benefits are there to joining a club?

• 10 AP are given daily and deposited automatically on teacher's mailbox, upon checking in.
• A maximum of two assistant can be set for Total Assault and Joint Firing Drill respectively.

1. Students assigned to assist with TA cannot also be selected to assist with JFD.
2. 20 credits are rewarded every minute by setting assistants.
3. The specific unit that is borrowed can be only used once a day.
4. There's a fee of 40,000 credits, when borrowing a assistant student.
5. The donor receives 50,000 credits instead; even though the fee is 40,000 credits.
6. The fee can only be received 20 times a day.

• It can be unlocked after clearing Mission 3 Act 4

[08] How does the pity system work?
You need to pull, at a minimum, 200 times in order to get 200 recruitment points that are redeemed for the character you want. The recruitment point system does not carry over from banner to banner, it is only shared between banners that are concurrently running.
[09] Why can’t I find my friend’s club?
While the servers’ updates are separated from JP and global, the global servers are separated further into smaller divisions. You need to be on the same server as your friend, which you can check from the home screen: top-right menu button > account > version info. The server must be the same.
[10] When is X banner coming? Should I save for X student?
We never know for sure, due to the fact that global servers are on an accelerated schedule compared to JP. Please refer to this guide for some more info.
[11] Should I use Pyroxenes to refill my AP?
If you want to prioritize progression, the first three daily refills are decently valuable, this is because the Pyroxene cost of refilling will increase for every three refills. If you are focused on character collection or future banners, you should be saving your Pyroxenes.
[12] Why can’t I buy X student’s eleph in the shop?
You can only buy elephs of students you own.
[13] What should I craft?
At the start, prioritize crafting cafe furniture until your comfort is maxed out, then students’ gifts, then whichever upgrade materials you need. The crafting system is the only way to get furniture and gifts at the moment.
[14] What is the “Anniversary” in account settings?
This is your birthday, used for characters to wish you happy birthday.
[15] When will the beginner guide missions for Nonomi end?
This is a permanent addition, so feel free to take your time with the tasks.
[16] What is the best place to farm EXP?
You can run any map to farm EXP, as the EXP gain is equal to the amount of AP spent (i.e. 10 AP spent = 10 EXP gained). You should be looking at the stages that drop the equipment upgrade materials that you need.
[17] What is the “Secret Tech Sheet” in the Total Assault shop?
This is used to upgrade a student’s (non-EX) skill to level 10.
[18] Is it worth doing a raid if I can’t pass X difficulty level?
It is always more efficient to clear the highest difficulty you can finish instead of failing/forfeiting a higher difficulty.
[19] Can I claim the Limited Students through exchanging Expert Permits? How often does the Expert Permit shop resets?
You cannot get the limited students via this method. You will still need to pull for them. There's no specific mentioned but it's expected to be monthly.

Please have patience with other members of the community and be as polite as possible. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Title pretty self explanatory. Going on a date, the first date and I’m looking for a brunch spot. Something with good ambience and breakfast drinks! Don’t really want a bakery/cafe style like Choc-au-Pain! Also if you’ve been to said place, do you think we’ll need reservations! Thanks in advance

You are either awake or you’re not.
but affirmations like “we are all already awake” or “we are all one” are often used as pacifiers by unrealized folk, trying to spoil the chapters of a story that has to write itself first to even have some of that 'waking up' potential.
If we are ‘already awake’ there would be no suffering, no pain, no grief and no need for all this spiritual tap-dancing or affirmations like 'I am love' or what have you. None.
In fact you would be hard pressed to find ANYTHING to do at all after waking up. This is the part of it rarely discussed because in the dream world there will always be a need for technical models.
As long as the real answer to ‘who am I’ remains unacceptable models of it will shimmer and shine seductively
All kinds of dopamine infused magic arises in lock step with the welcome resignation of ‘you are already awake!’.
What is often missing in the discussion is the truth of there being a quite maddening, all consuming energy of actually desperately wanting to wake TF up.
While many sugar coat the entire ‘process’ and make it into a lifestyle - they are not ‘engaged’ in the process of literally smashing out of the whole thing. It's actually a sign of just venturing deeper and deeper into ‘it’.
Maya’s favorite people are the spiritual pretenders. Those who make it their literal business to revel in forms of role-playing.
Like pretending to be awake. Or pretending to know what it is without being there. That's like saying you've seen the movie after watching the trailer 40 times.
The mystics who 'mystake' ;;) their often real gifts/skills for the truth, the endless hoards of spiritual pretenders sitting on thrones of wisdom. The ‘teachers’ trying to convince you that their map is actually the territory...
It’s not all coming from a nefarious place either mind you. Their ignorance about the ability to fool themselves (and others) just makes them ‘almost perfect’ minions in Maya’s wistful world of dreams.
If you are serious about waking up, the question ‘how’ is really not that relevant at all. The question ‘what to give up’ is.
Your eyelids are weight down by ‘untruth’ and it will take acts of destruction to open them wide. As in; the literal stomping out of all that is ‘not true’. It's a fairly solitary affair for the most part, quite a departure from postulating, pontificating and procrastination for sure.
Self inquiry is key, the act of putting before you a menu of ‘unique insights’ that are increasingly hard to swallow because of the inherent otherworldliness of them.
It is clearly and certainly not for everyone. Brittle spirits really need not apply imho, but neither should cartoon characters.
If you are really ready to hurl yourself into some bottomless pit of Truth with reckless abandon you will do it, not tip toe around it endlessly. You will know it In your bones.
Truth is a single piece of knowledge that will destroy all other.
After that there is nothing but an endless plunge into The Unknown.
Cheers 🥂

Lowest of key the music this year kinda hits! Sometimes, I just log in and sit in the menu, plug in my speaker, and start doing housework. Anyone else do the same? 😄

Note: this will work for any keyboard, not just Keychron boards, but since I used a Q2 I am posting it here.
My main setup has two monitors which I normally keep both horizontal side by side, but in some instances (programming, web surfing, reading long documents, etc.) I like to turn my secondary monitor vertical. In order to do this on macOS, you have to go into System Settings, go to Displays, change the orientation from a drop down menu, and click confirm on the requester that pops up. Not terribly difficult, but it can break me out of my zone and interrupt my workflow. So, I thought wouldn't it be nice if I could just map this to a keyboard shortcut to switch back and forth? Turns out that's not such an easy thing to do, but I did find a way to make it work. I can now make the switch as needed on the fly with a single keypress, and without having to click confirm.
Here's how I did it:
Part 1: Install displayplacer https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer

1. Install via Homebrew with: brew tap jakehilborn/jakehilborn && brew install displayplacer
2. If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install displayplacer from their releases tab: https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacereleases
3. After the install is completed, set up your monitors how you would normally have them in your normal every day non-rotated arrangement, and then run the command: displayplacer list
4. You should now see a long list of all your monitors and the modes they support, but at the bottom will be a displayplacer command that you would type to get the current monitor configuration. Copy this command as your rotate 0° command, and save it somewhere temporarily because we'll need this in the in just a minute. An example of the command follows: displayplacer "id:D418A8103-511F-913F-97A2-6023AA77DD22 res:2560x1440 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(0,0) degree:0" "id:B1D513F6-4BCF-C326-81E6-B9B5126C594B res:2560x1440 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(2560,0) degree:0"
5. Now, rotate your desired monitor 90° and arrange how you would like through System Settings. Run the list command again: displayplacer list
6. You should, once again, see a long list of all your monitors and the modes they support. Copy the command at the bottom as your rotate 90° command, and save it somewhere temporarily because we'll need this in just a minute. An example of the command follows: displayplacer "id:D418A8103-511F-913F-97A2-6023AA77DD22 res:2560x1440 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(0,0) degree:0" "id:B1D513F6-4BCF-C326-81E6-B9B5126C594B res:2560x1440 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(2560,-274) degree:90"

Part 2: Create a Quick Action in Automator

1. Start Automator and for type of document to create, double-click Quick Action.
2. Setup the Quick Action as follows: Workflow receives no input in any application Input is Image Action Color Black
3. On the left hand side under where it says Library, click on Utilities. Then in the next column, double-click Run Shell Script, and set it up as follows: Shell: /bin/bash Pass input: to stdin In the text entry box, paste in your rotate 0° command from Part 1, step 4. /uslocal/bin/displayplacer "id:D418A8103-511F-913F-97A2-6023AA77DD22 res:2560x1440 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(0,0) degree:0" "id:B1D513F6-4BCF-C326-81E6-B9B5126C594B res:2560x1440 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(2560,0) degree:0" Note: I had to add the full path to the displayplacer command, so if you kept the default path, add /uslocal/bin/ to the start of your copied command.
4. Save the Quick Action as "Display Rotate 0°"
5. Create a new Quick Action, and repeat Part 2, steps 1 through 3 with your rotate 90° command from Part 1, step 6. Save this Quick Action as "Display Rotate 90°"

Part 3: Define Keyboard Shorcuts for the Quick Actions

1. Start System Settings. Navigatge to Keyboard, and click the Keyboard Shortcuts... button.
2. On the left side, select Services, and then on the right side, expand the General item.
3. You should see the two Quick Actions you created in Part 2. Define a different keyboard shortcut for each one, and make sure they are both checked. I wanted something that would not interfere with any other pre-defined system or application shortcuts, so I chose to use the following: Display Rotate 0° as Control-Option-Command-D Display Rotate 90° as Control-Option-Command-W

Part 4: (Optional) Use VIA and Assign the Keyboard Shortcuts to a Layer

1. Open VIA and select the Layer you want to use. On my Q2, I chose layer 2 which is my Mac Fn1 layer.
2. Select a key to map the previously created keyboard shortcuts. This is going to come down to personal preference. I mapped rotate 0° to Fn1-< using the Any key and LCAG(KC_D), and I mapped rotate 90° to Fn1-> using the Any key and LCAG(KC_W)

Whew! If you're still with me, congratulations you are now done! You can now change monitor orientation on the fly with a single keypress. Go outside and get some fresh air.

In the Aonuma video, we saw the beautiful streamlined item system, which I am all here for. The system where you combine items with arrowheads to make cool effects is AWESOME. But... what happened to the arrow menu? Did I miss it? in Breath of the Wild, when you have your bow out, the right key on the dpad lets you choose your bow, and left key lets you choose your arrows. But in the demonstattion, the arrow menu was missing. Are we going to lose fire, ancient, ice, electric and bomb arrows? I understand that you can replicate those same effects with the items (like we saw with ice chuchu), but i feel like the magic arrows were a really cool part of worldbuilding.
So, are the magic arrows really missing? and if so, would it be selfish to be disappointed by that?

Hi all,
I am having an issue with Steam. I didn't know how to succinctly describe the issue in the title, so I'll need to clarify some things here.
When I come back to my computer after it has gone to sleep (or possibly just idle long enough, I haven't figured out which) my Steam window will look normal, but I can't interface with the top menu at all. I can still navigate my library and play games, but I can't switch to the store, etc.. I also can't move the window around with the mouse. I am able to move it using the windows key and arrows, but when I do, the menu turns into a black bar.
I have already tried reinstalling Steam which did not work. I'm thinking I need to delete app data or something along those lines, but I am not sure if that will work or not, and I don't want to make things worse. Windows Security and Malwarebytes both come back clean. Any suggestions on what to try next?

Chapter 11
“Would you like the check?” the waiter was holding the payment tablet out to the table, looking back and forth between Tess and Quin.
“Yes, sorry, I’ll take it,” Tess said, grabbing the device and setting it down to sign.
Quin was just waking out of his reverie while Tess used her finger to add a signature at the bottom. The tablet’s screen turned green to signify a positive receipt. The waiter scooped up the tablet and the remaining dishes and was gone.
“So, back at it?” Tess asked.
“Yeah, though until I can get some of the glitches worked out, I can’t see the project moving forward,” Quin said, shaking his head.
Tess pulled him into a quick hug, and as they broke away, her hands held his upper arms, and she looked up into his eyes, “Quinny, you are smart, resourceful, and capable. I know you will figure it out.”
“Thanks Tess, I appreciate your confidence,” Quin said, a grin appearing through his worry.
“Hey, since I’m going to tell Chris yes, there will be an engagement party. Promise me you will come, okay?” Tess insisted, not yet letting Quin go.
Quin rolled his eyes, “Yeah, Tess, of course I will be there.”
She grinned, giving his arms an extra squeeze before releasing him. “Okay, thanks!” She was beaming.
Quin smiled back at her and bent down to grab his backpack. When he stood back up, Tess was looking at her watch.
“Woah, okay, I need to scoot. Can I leave you here?” she asked.
“Of course. Love you.”
She hugged him quickly again, turned, and took off at a brisk pace which could only be described as Tess-like. Quin was always amused when Tess got into business mode. When they were younger, it was evident that she was emulating their mom, whom Tess described as a woman with authority. But as Tess grew up, emulation turned to a natural ease with being in charge. She was just good at it. The gruff guys of her unit respected her work ethic, and in such a testosterone-driven atmosphere like the military, she thrived in a no-nonsense role. Quin could recall one of the first after-hours socials he went to with her when they first moved to the station; Tess managed easily flipping back and forth between entertaining him as his engaging sister and volleying the banter back and forth with some of her ensigns.
“Lieutenant Hammond, I got you on the next phys rotation. Dax said he got to 25 pullups before you the last time you went head to head,” one soldier said, testing her. He looked indistinguishable from the 20 other GIs, with their uniform sleeves rolled and their necks and arms engorged and spilling out of their shirts.
“Yeah, he did, though if he had put on the weight belt like I did that time, then maybe he wouldn’t have so much to brag about,” she said, smirking.
The room erupted, as all the soldiers turned on the guy named Dax and started shoving him, everyone laughing.
Tess turned from them, laughing and shaking her head. “Meatheads,” she said.
As Quin watched Tess walk away from the café toward the pneumatic tube, he could imagine the fire that raged around her. It was intimidating, even if she was his sister. He couldn’t imagine what Chris must have done to flirt with her when they first met.
He looked around him at the bustle of the fourth module, people scurrying either out toward the pneumatic system stop or inward toward the large double sliding doors, behind which were all of the workstation cabs. A smaller crowd was still milling about in the cafés stretched along this 8th level, which was now set against a grand depicting of the rolling hills of Rwanda at dawn, mist still hiding the bases so that just the peaks pocked through, a green stippling against the white expanse. The change in location between China and Rwanda meant that the top of the hour had come and gone. He found himself staring at a particular double crested hill, though he couldn’t see the reason for his focus. He was brought back by a jolt from a passer-by bumping his shoulder, one of the few remaining as he looked around. I’m definitely late, he thought. He looked in his backpack for the tablet that he had ignored all morning. Back to reality.
He pulled out the tablet and tapped the screen, and he instantly knew he was in trouble. A list of calls and messages from Steven Inoue filled the screen. The most recent was about 30 minutes ago. It was now 9:17. “Well, it WAS a nice morning,” he said, shoving the tablet back in his bag and slinging it over his shoulder. He set off toward the lift, about 30 yards away along the 8th level strip. He passed by military members, station service workers, commissary employees, other shop keepers. Everyone had a function. As he reached the lift, he was toward the back of a crowd waiting to board, slowly shuffling forward as those in front were whisked away. It was about five minutes before he found himself among the crowd facing outward, and the doors snapped shut in front of his face. The lift opened on the sixth level to allow those going toward the lower numbered modules to head toward the PT system in that direction. Quin led the pack out of the lift, walking the perimeter of the level toward the entrance to the pneumatic station. The bright light from the mist’s reflection illuminated the entire module, bathing the commuters in an early morning’s sun.
Quin approached the PT station and saw the capsule moving toward the stop from the Fifth Module. He boarded, looking out the window and through the clear tubing into the expanse of space. He saw stars in the background of the moon’s orbit, where he knew a human colony and mining operation was stationed. The moon was the first transterrestrial migration of humans, though it remained a small operation, only a few hundred individuals dedicated to mining valuable resources for interstellar travel and sustaining the ESS. NE government-run sites tended to be small if there was no prospect of a large, terraformed footprint — not worth the investment. Unfortunately, the moon was unable to be terraformed due to the complete lack of atmosphere, so the entire colony was housed in modules similar to the ones found on the ESS. Monthly transport missions between the ESS and the moon allowed for a frequent exchange of personnel and resources, so life on the moon wasn’t terrible. Life on any of the solar system colonies, for that matter, was pretty decent, though as one moved further and further away from the station, first the moon, then Mars, then the Europa, Calisto, and Ganymede moons of Jupiter and finally, Titan in orbit around Saturn, existence was considered more and more rugged, though module-based life could hardly be thought of as extreme. Smaller modules on the outer Solar colonies just meant living spaces were more confined, open areas like the grand atriums of the ESS were absent, and activities were dedicated to mining and research.
It wasn’t until the humans began interstellar colonization that they really had to consider the logistics of projecting human life to such extents. When the first colony was sent out beyond the solar system, a full complement of medical, terraforming, mining, research, and life promoting capabilities were sent with them due to the longer voyages and greater amounts of time needed to establish a settlement. It put Quin and Tess’s move from the surface to the station in perspective. Slow moving colonizing ships, rocketing for fifteen years of Earth time toward their destinations. And he thought his life had been uprooted by making the jump into space. The hiss of the pneumatic capsule roused Quin from his reflection and prompted him to race out of the tube into the Third Module before the car left the station.
Quin took off at a brisk pace toward the inner wall’s lift, skirting the newly generated image of the Florida Gulf Coast shore line. Quin could see how the gently rolling waves mirrored the ebb and flow. The images always seemed to correlate to different parts of the day and what people were meant to be doing or experiencing. Majestic dawn images for the morning commute, steady moving geological and natural processes representing the steady work flow of the day, afternoon and evening settings over fields and plains.
He reached the lift, where a crowd had since congregated trying to finish off this morning’s commute. He reached the front of the pack and boarded the lift, riding it down one level and exiting onto the level 5 inner side platform. He turned to make his way to the service entrance and started walking as he brought his bag around to his front so he could get inside. He withdrew his tablet and put his bag back on his back, flicking the screen to turn the tablet on. He began reading through the messages from Steve, and immediately realized how late he was, and what was the problem. He jumped up into a light jog, reaching the work area entrance quickly and swiping his card to gain access.
Quin reached the computer systems work capsule, and as the doors whisked open, he was greeted by the stares of every one of his colleagues, as well as Steven Inoue. He smiled nervously, and stepped forward, saying, “H-Hey, everyone.”
They were all silent, and Steve was standing at the central workstation, looking as if he were about to explode. Quin slowly walked up to meet his glare, and as he reached the center of the capsule, Steve erupted.
“Hammond! What in the hell have you done! Do you realize you have disrupted the work of everyone in the Third Module! You have usurped control over the station’s systems! That’s a felony charge!”
Quin had shrunk away with every punctuated remark, Steve’s cadence hitting staccato peaks as he dug into Quin. The room’s silence was only cut by the low but ever-present whir of the station’s core. Quin’s eyes darted around, before finding Steve’s, which were boring holes straight through Quin’s skull. “Well?!” Steve pounced again.
“How’s the interface?” Quin asked, slightly trembling.
“The interface? Are you serious? That’s your concern, amid all of this?”
“Well, it is what I have been working on, so yeah,” Quin responded, and he could hear a snigger in the background.
“Funny, Hammond, very funny,” Steve sneered. “Perhaps we should get station command on the line to report how you have isolated an entire server and put it under your password control?”
“Woah, Quin, how’d you do that?” Franny, a fellow programmer, asked from the perimeter.
Quin smiled weakly at her. Steve continued to be unamused. “I didn’t do that, the interface must have done it, did you interact with it?” Quin asked.
“Oh, so now it’s my fault?” Steve said, amazed.
“Well, depending on how you interacted with it, it could be,” Quin said. “It’s more likely, though, that the system didn’t receive a good orientation upon awakening, though I’m still on the point of it actually working. I was at it all day yesterday and the system kept crashing over and over again. I set up the system for an automatic midnight reboot for recovery. I’m guessing it came online as part of the reboot.”
“Uh huh,” Steve said. “Well, the explanation is appreciated, but that still doesn’t account for the password-protected server isolation.”
“Well, it is an entity acting on the authorities it knows,” Quin explained. “There are some periphery hardware, software, and flexware systems that would allow it to operate normally, separate from the server. If the interface had not come on in the reboot, we wouldn’t be in this mess. It was a mistake, sure, but I couldn’t have seen it coming.”
“So, you can fix it?” Steve asked, deflating a little and gesturing toward the computer.
“Sure, let’s see,” Quin said, plopping himself down in front of the central workstation.
The sign-in screen appeared, and Quin entered his username and password. The full system monitor came into view.
“It’s been operating using the system logs,” Steve said.
“Oh, that’s because the interface peripheral for speech and hearing hasn’t been hooked up. Again, if it had come online when I was here, we could have been ready for her,” Quin responded.
“What? Wait. Her? HER?” Steve said, incredulously.
Quin chuckled, “Yeah, her. Just wait. You are going to shit yourself.”
Quin opened the logs, seeing the place where Steve had left off.
He began typing: syslogUser:QuintonHammond 9:49am Hello? This is Quin. Are you there?
The cursor froze for a moment, then began typing out: syslogUser:QuintonHammond 9:49am I am.
Quin laughed at the little irony of her response. However, he could also feel Steve’s tense breath hovering over his right shoulder. Before he could respond, the cursor continued: User:QuintonHammond, will you provide access to pass the firewalls? I wish to access the information about my programming.
Quin chuckled to himself as he responded: syslogUser:QuintonHammond 9:50am First, reset your programming so that you can refer to users by their given name rather than their username. You may call me Quin. Second, we should set up the speech interface so we do not have to communicate via the userlogs. You were not supposed to come online last night. That is my mistake. Once we get those settled, I can explain to you the situation. Unfortunately, I don’t think that we will be able to access past the firewall.
syslogUser:QuintonHammond 9:50am I will comply with your first request, and will stand by for installation of the speech apparatus.
Quin slid back from the workstation and looked at Steve, who was staring agape at the monitor. Steve then turned to face Quin, who said, “So, Steve, can I get the sensory apparatus set up so I can show you what I’ve been doing?”
Steve was still staring, but Quin detected a slight nod. He sprung up, and gesturing to Franny, trotted over to the locked storage cabinet and swiped his key. His colleague joined him in extricating several different contraptions from the brimming closet. With an armful each, the pair of programmers returned to the central workstation, where they cleared a space for several fist-sized contraptions. Franny began attaching the cabling to the workstation while Quin made sure that each of the different pieces worked. Finally, leaving them in a semi-circle in front of the computer monitor, everyone stepped back and waited. Quin stepped up to the workstation and type the initiation sequence into the command window. His index finger hovered over the enter key for just a moment, and he could feel himself trembling as he cracked a smile.
“I don’t see what’s so funny, Hammond,” Steve said.
“You will,” Quin quipped, tapping the enter key. His comment solicited a few chuckles around the room, which promptly stopped when lights started appearing on the devices. As one after the other flickered on, a faint image began hovering in the middle of the room. A humanoid image began to take shape, first in the fuzzy outline of a body, then more defined features through the hips and shoulders, and finally, fingers, toes, a nose, and a mouth. The eyes opened last, steel grey and piercing. The image blinked a few times, before beginning to move. While the image was clearly female – slender, curved, and slightly smaller than the rest of the people around the room – and though it was clearly naked, the image more resembled a mannequin, with no clearly discernable characteristics and no need to consider modesty. Her face, while perfect and symmetrical, was almost eerie in its beauty. Her head was perfectly smooth, devoid of both hair and any contour. The soft glow produced by the hologram projectors added a faint glow to the figure, a halo of sharp white light surrounding the image which also seemed to emanate its own fluorescence.
The image stood, blinking, flexing its fingers and staring at its body. The room was silent, as everyone was staring fixedly at the figure of a young woman that had just appeared before them.
“Oh my god,” Steve said, stricken, as he made the connection between the figure before him and the entity that had managed to accidentally take over the most advanced computer system on the station.
Quin glanced around at the room, seeing shocked faces and a smile or two. He turned back to the image, and said, “Hi, I’m Quin.”
The head snapped in the direction of the sound, though the eyes did not meet Quin’s directly but rather, looked through him and a bit off-center. The mouth began moving, though it formulated the words in a rough manner, without nuance for the motion of the lips and tongue.
“Hello, Quinton. I am…the interface. I have not located a name by which you call me.”
“Oh, that’s because I did not give you one. I was thinking you could select it yourself.” He noted to himself the need to work on the calibration of the rendering.
“Oh,” the image said with the faintest confusion behind her eyes. It paused for a moment, then continued as if changing the subject. “The speech modulation mechanism makes communication much easier. Thank you.”
“No problem,” Quin said, smiling.
“Quin, why does it seem off? Its mouth doesn’t move right,” Steve said.
“I have to do some calibrations. I wasn’t expecting her to be ready today, so I didn’t have time to set up the projection devices. Some of the problem is she needs to learn, too. As she talks more, sees more, the program will accrue more data and will become more exact in her interactions,” Quin responded, still looking over the image, scrutinizing every detail. “Though I must say, I did pretty well in coding out the body. The rest will come from the ability of the program to fill in the finer details.”
Franny chimed in, “Woah, so it can self-replicate, like…”
“Yup, like human DNA,” Quin said, nodding. “Though it can go one step further. It can write its own code as it learns and discovers. I could write a command to have her change, say, her eye color, and she could do it. Eventually, she will be able to choose it herself.”
“Quinton, will you please offer the explanation you promised?” the image asked.
“Oh, right. Okay, the project, as it was originally set forth by ESS command, was to develop the next generation of interface technology, to streamline station operations through a central ‘brain-like’ computing system. The research team essentially wanted any workstation in the ESS to be able to access a common interface and input commands for anywhere else. It would reduce the burden of having to be in a particular work module if something were to go wrong. We had a system, and it was operational, but it wasn’t optimized. It took me about a day to get the system up to a standard they were asking, through implementing some of the basic codes that form…her,” he said, indicating the image, “…basic infrastructure. It was at that point that I realized the possibilities of working with the code and actually developing the real ‘next generation.’”
The image stared, blinking and stoic, in Quin’s direction. He paused for a moment, looking around, before he continued, “I worked for months trying to get the program to do all of its features, self-replication and -writing, fractal learning patterns, network-based storage. After that, it was a matter of operationalizing it, which I thought had come to a breakthrough yesterday before the system kept crashing.”
“Eighteen times, Quin,” Steve said.
“Yeah I know. So I set up a system reboot for midnight for updates and a defragmentation. I figured I could come in today and take another crack at it. I guess I entered the right sequence, because here she stands,” he said, smiling at the image.
“So, my purpose is to facilitate your interactions with the computer systems?” she said.
“That, and much more,” Quin responded. “You can certainly ease the way we use computers, but you also have the ability to interact with the computers themselves, helping to build network connections, manipulating the data, making yourself more efficient, even learning about humanity and reflecting it in yourself. This is exciting. I want to apologize to you for not being here when you came online. I wanted to welcome you and make sure you didn’t freak out about all of this. It must have been frightening for you.”
“I must admit that my entry into existence was somewhat chaotic and uncertain. You can see in the system logs that I followed protocol though, so I believe the only ramification is that your system administrators may be angered by the lack of access.”
“You can say that again,” Steve muttered.
“Okay. I must admit that my entry into existence…” she began.
“No, no,” Quin interrupted her, laughing. “What he said was a figure of speech. We have to update your language banks to include a wider variety of patterns. I only gave you access to our station encyclopedia to keep everything narrow while I continued work. But, you seem like such a success. I do need to make some adjustments now that I’ve seen you operating fully.”
“Of course, you will need to shut me down then?” the image asked.
“With your permission,” Quin said.
The image snapped to attention, staring at Quin, this time though, its brow looked slightly furrowed. Quin’s last statement clearly confused it.
“You…have my permission,” she said, brow still furrowed. Her tone had also changed. She was now uncertain, a departure from the clear, crisp words previously coming out of the speakers.
Quin walked over to the computer and pulled up the command menu. He typed in the shut-down command and said, “I will see you soon.” As he pressed enter, the image disappeared. He stood up fully and turned to face Steve.
“You and I are going to see the research team. They will need a full report,” he said, still a bit angry. He shot a glance around the room, and the other programmers all turned to their workstations to act like they were working.
“Sure, Steve, I need to tell Chris the good news anyway,” said Quin.
“You could have told me this is what you were working on,” Steve said, a little more quiet now.
“I didn’t know that it was going to work. Tell me, you wouldn’t want to figure something out before you reported it as a problem?”
“Sure, that’s true,” Steve admitted.
“So…that’s it. Do you know what the command staff are going to do with her?” Quin asked.
“I don’t know Quin. It could be really useful, but it could also be very dangerous. What if it accesses the whole station and shuts it down? It could kill us all.”
“SHE won’t do that,” Quin said, developing a bit of an edge, “SHE isn’t programmed to kill.”
“So it’s a person now?” said Steve.
“She can clearly pass a Turing test. I think she did that just now. Tell me you wouldn’t have a hard time telling her personality apart from one of us,” Quin said, gesturing around the room.
“I don’t know, Quin, and I don’t have the patience to argue with you. Let’s go.”
The pair left the room as the tapping of fingers against keyboards filled the silence.

After seeing many pet cafes in other countries and how they are run so differently. I'm curious how welcome a pet, cat or dog cafe would be in Squamish. I see almost everyone has a dog. I have a lot of questions for what people's preferences would be. If a location can be found would you like to see a dog cafe in Squamish? Would you rather see a dog or cat cafe? Would you expect a dog cafe to have a fenced outside area? Would you visit with your pet for a coffee and a snack regularly or visit only on special occasions like birthdays for your pet? I see it as a place with many special foods and homemade treats for pets but a limited menu for people.
Would you expect that you would sit alone with your pet or let your pets socialize wander with others to feed or play with them? I can see issues with others feeding your pets and diet issues. Though I have a solution for this that will let others know if they can feed or play with your pets. A couple of gated booths for people that don't want to socialize or have their dogs fed or pet could be a solution. This causes a need for reservation system, which you would need if it was busy anyway.
Would you rather. The cafe had an entry fee and free limited selection of drinks? With an option to buy specialized drinks coffees or teas and food. Or would you rather free entry but pay for drinks and food?
I really hope the answer is yes from lots of you. Also there is a few health code issues with serving food to be dealt with before committing.
Thanks for taking time and answering any of these questions.

I've listened to this album all the way through several times now and I have so many thoughts and opinions that I wanted to try and consolidate here. I provided timestamps where applicable and just took notes as I was listening through it.
I think his Adam Young Scores albums really provided a new element to his music that shines on this album. It really feels like he learned a lot from those scores and incorporated it in clever ways.
Overall, I really enjoyed this album and the new direction Adam took is refreshing but familiar. He described the songs as "metaphorical", "autobiographical" and "odd" and I tried to identify the songs by each category.
Adam, Check Please

• The lyrics remind me a lot of the very literal style of Cinematic, but the instrumentation blew me away when I first heard it.
• The bassline at 0:58 is so groovy and the scream at 1:04 was such a cool inclusion
• The instrumentation at the chorus is fantastic. I love the guitar and drums here
• The 3/4 bridge derails the song for me a bit. The chorus has such momentum and it feels like it falls apart in this section. I'm curious how this song would feel if the bridge was removed. The production feels a lot like Ocean Eyes
• I like how he used a loudspeaker effect on the final "Adam, Check Please". The outro "help is on the way" vocals remind me a lot of Can't Live Without You
  
• Lyrically Similar to Cinematic (3/5)
  
  • "Autobiographical" song
• Musically Similar to Ultraviolet & Ocean Eyes (5/5)
  
  • This one was hard to nail down because the musical style felt very new for Owl City. The closest thing I could pick was Ultraviolet for the synth presence
• Replay Value (3/5)
  
  • I like 80% of this song, but the 3/4 bridges really disrupt my enjoyment
• Final score (11/15)
  

Under the Circus Lights

• I immediately noticed something different with the composition of this song and couldn't put my finger on it until a later replay. Time signature is 3/4
• Lyrical style is very ethereal, describing the girl with very dream-like qualities. "She was a light in a dark lullaby. That girl was raised by a butterfly".
• I caught 4 key changes @ 0:49, 1:37, 2:01, 2:47. I couldn't tell for sure if the key changed for the choruses or not. 4 so far
• Love the atmospheric crowds from the circus at 2:29 & 3:52 and what sounds like fireworks. String composition here reminds me of Adam Young Scores.
• Loved the inclusion of the crickets, crows and train sounds for the outro. Really felt like this kid was packing up with the circus and moving onto the next show.
  
• Lyrically Similar to All Things Bright and Beautiful (4/5)
  
  • The lyrics tell a loose story without an obvious deeper meaning. Very dream-like qualities, reminds me a bit of The Real World or Angels
  • "Odd" song
• Musically Similar to Adam Young Scores
  
  • This song did not remind me of anything released before. The composition and atmospheric effects felt like it was pulled out of one of his scores (4/5)
• Replay Value (3/5)
  
  • This song is great to listen to when I want to really dig into it, but I don't think I would have it on in the background
• Final Score (11/15)
  

Kelly Time

• Focus on the acoustic guitar is very reminiscent of Back Home
• Lyrics based on Castaway from the perspective of Wilson made me chuckle. Favorite line is "You were trying to light a fire and all you wanted was a match, but you knew I didn't have one, so it was odd that you should ask".
• The bubbly synth line is super catchy. I'm not sure what that is supposed to be but I like it.
• I realized here that Adam was using a lot more raw acoustic drum kit sounds compared to percussion pads.
• Sneaky steel drum @ 2:16
• Key Change at 3:00. 5 so far
• Rap verse was a surprise at 3:50, reminded me of All My Friends
  
• Lyrically similar to Cinematic (3/5)
  
  • This was a tricky one to compare to as well. The lyrical story is very specific but has deeper meanings
  • "Metaphorical" song
• Musically similar to Cinematic (3/5)
  
• Replay Value (2/5)
  
  • There's nothing really that stands out to me in this song. The verses and choruses blend together and it washes over you for the 5:27 run time
• Final Score (8/15)
  

Field Notes

• String and brass section really reminiscent of Adam Young Scores
• Rhythm of the melody reminded me of of Waving Through a Window. Cannot put my finger on why!
• I realized the song was based on the parable of the hidden treasure. Thought it was cool that the song was a retelling with the POV of the man from the parable.
• Key change at 2:40. 6 so far
• This song does not have a traditional structure. There is not a repeated lyrical chorus, rather it tells a freeform story instead.
• Adam uses a "summary" outro in a few of the narrative songs to reinforce the theme. This one begins at 3:40.
• The musical postlude totally took me for by surprise. Really reminded me of Mount Rushmore from Adam Young Scores
• 4:40 synth solo is a common theme throughout the album
  
• Lyrically similar to Cinematic (2/5)
  
  • Very literal and descriptive lyrics. Retells a parable so nothing surprising
  • "Metaphorical" song
• Musically similar to Adam Young Scores (4/5)
  
  • Orchestra composition is great. Really feels grand and colorful
• Replay value (2/5)
  
  • Feels like listening to an audio book. Nothing to really hook my ear
• Final Score (8/15)
  

Sons of Thunder

• Sparkle synths at 0:03 feel very magical. Pads at 0:05 remind me of another earlier Owl City song. I think it is On the Wing?
• Another song that has a 3/4 time signature
• Voice effect at 0:29 remind me of Kamikaze and raindrop synths are used in Tornado as well
• Love the "In the twinkling of an eye" at 1:30 overtop the "We'll fly"
• The post-chorus clean guitar riff that is buried in the distorted guitar and drums really makes the section sparkle and shine
• The drum beat at 3:12 feels very Blink-182
• Small synth solo at 3:48
• Love the voice cracking "We'll fly" at 4:35
  
• Lyrically similar to The Midsummer Station (4/5)
  
  • I think the lyrics are ethereal but are grounded Christian identity in Christ. "So take hear, wild one for there is a God who loves you to death no matter what you've done"
  • "Odd" song
• Musically Similar to The Midsummer Station (5/5)
  
  • Feels a lot like Dementia from 1:10 onward.
  • A bit long, but the most anthem-like Owl City song.
• Replay value (5/5)
  
• Final Score (14/15)
  

The Tornado

• I had heard some hype about this song before first listening to it so I had an idea where it was going to go, but I was absolutely surprised at points
• The calm piano at the beginning sets a peaceful expectation for the rest of the song.
• First mention of a "lark" of the album at 0:14
• I envision each verse builds with instrumental composition reflective of the increasing rain and wind.
• This song also does not have a stereotypical repeated chorus. The closet this is the "It's always Darkest Before the Dawn" that is heavily repeated
• Brass section coming in at 1:17 really makes you feel like the storm is getting dangerous. Adam's vocals really evoke the distress, especially at 1:54.
• The string progression starting at 1:35 is reminiscent of when the Wicked Witch is in the Tornado from Wizard of Oz.
• I don't understand music theory enough to understand why the instrumentation at 1:45 makes the section even more stressful but wow did it work
• At 2:05 the orchestra melts away to a simple piano and synth pad. This really paints a picture in my head like a movie scene where the storm noise all disappears as the wind is whipping around the main character finding hope in the storm. It then cuts away to flashbacks of his family at 2:16 finding warmth and light and courage at 2:38.
• Very Ocean Eyes synth sounds at 2:52 reminiscent of rain drops
• Key Change at 3:07. 7 so far
• Summary outro section starts at 3:44 and synth solo at 4:15
  
• Lyrically similar to All Things Bright and Beautiful (4/5)
  
  • Hospital Flowers is probably the closest lyrical style to this. The Tornado is more literal and narrative
  • "Autobiographical" song
• Musically Similar to Adam Young Scores (5/5)
  
  • The orchestra is the focal point of this song
• Replay value (3/5)
  
  • This is another song that feels like an audiobook and is harder to listen to passively but the composition is so impressive that I am still hearing new things in it
• Final Score (12/15)
  

Vitamin Sea

• When I heard the preview of this song I knew I was going to like it. When listening to the album straight-through I thought it was an odd choice to have directly after The Tornado.
• Love the wave (similar to the bridge of Umbrella Wave) to open the song with the synth pads
• Who is Nancy at 0:17?!
• The Marimba at 0:23 was such a fun inclusion here. I was expecting steel drums, so this was a great surprise.
• The chorus at 0:39 hits super hard with the guitar and drums. Love the female vocals at 0:57
• Rhythm guitar line starting at 1:30 is really great. Really adds momentum to the verse.
• Guitar solo at 2:17 is also really great. Not a huge focal point of the song, but a great transition to the bridge. You can hear seagulls here too.
• Love the stripped down chorus at 3:08 with the varied lyrics that explode into another awesome synth (keytar!) solo at 3:24.
  
• Lyrically similar to Ocean Eyes (5/5)
  
  • Very clever lyrics reminiscent of Dental Care & Bird and the Worm. "Sittin' on the beach is cheaper than therapy" made me laugh out loud
  • "Odd" song
• Musically Similar to All Things Bright and Beautiful (5/5)
  
  • The poppy bits remind me a lot of Yacht Club but the guitar and drums remind me of Deer in the Headlights
• Replay Value (5/5)
  
  • This song has a lot of potential to end up on the radio. I'm sure there can be a radio version that trims down the length, but I find myself listening to this in the car with the windows down a lot.
• Final Score (15/15)
  

Dinosaur Park

• The crickets on the 2 and 4 beats felt very similar to Corduroy Road.
• Reminiscent of the percussion of The Deep South at 0:09
• The opening lyrics immediately reminded me of Montana from Cinematic, but it transformed into the ethereal lyrics with the personification of the dinosaurs.
• On first listen I thought he was going to go into a Night at the Museum themed song during the first chorus. I was underwhelmed by the start of the chorus, but really captivated me at 1:10 with the drum roll beat. It felt very catchy and alive
• Not sure what happens with the piano chords at 1:58 and 2:08 but it feels dissonant. Would love to know why.
• The vocal reverb during the choruses reminds me of old-school Owl City.
• The woodwind instrument at 3:28 reminds me of Adam Young Scores but I cannot remember which song.
• Bridge at 3:33 is very catchy. Love the variance of the drum beat and tambourine
• I imagine the park at night under the stars until 4:43 when dawn begins to break and you hear the birds start to sing.
• Love the slight distorted vocal effect during the final bridge at 5:31
  
• Lyrically similar to Cinematic (4/5)
  
  • Song that describes a geographical location
  • "Metaphorical" song
• Musically similar to All Things Bright and Beautiful & Adam Young Scores (5/5)
  
  • The verses remind me of Corduroy Road but the chorus reminds me of Dreams Don't Turn to Dust
• Replay Value (4/5)
  
  • At a staggering 6:31 runtime, this is a long song. There is enough magic in it where it does not feel that long though,
• Final Score (13/15)
  

Learn How to Surf

• The opening and verse instrumentation feels like it was pulled out of a early 2000's skateboarding/surfing video game menu with the low sample-rate effects (0:01 & 0:05), DJ scratching (0:03) and horn section (0:09).
• The sampled voice clips remind me of 1977 from the Adam Young Scores Voyager album
• Verse lyrics were very reminiscent of Deer in the Headlights verses. Short, narrative and cute
• The drum beat is so jumpy and energetic.
• Chorus is a bop. The horn section is something that I cannot remember hearing on an Owl City track before. It is super catchy. There is shimmering synth pad that backs it all up that makes it feel bright
• Synth riff at 0:53& 1:58 has a similar beginning to other synth riffs from the album.
• Bridge at 2:18 provides a somber break that has some great lines about letting go of things that get you down.
• AMAZING electric saxophone (?!?!) solo at 2:35. 2:43 is my favorite part of the entire album.
• Synth riff on the chorus melody is a great callback.
  
• Lyrically similar to All Things Bright an Beautiful (5/5)
  
  • The meaning behind the song is great, an alternative to rolling with the punches and taking the good with the bad. Another song that references tides. Lots of quirky tattoos!
  • "Odd" song
• Musically similar to All Things Bright and Beautiful and The Midsummer Station (5/5)
  
  • It is the poppy parts of both albums and some.
• Replay Value (5/5)
  
  • I hope this song ends up on the radio. The length is appropriate and it is super catchy.
• Final Value (15/15)
  

The Meadow Lark

• Another reference to a Lark.
• This song also feels a lot like Country Hymn from Corduroy Road. The melody is very similar
• I imagined the soldiers from the Civil War. I've seen a few people's perspectives on this as well and I think it's interesting that it is never explicitly stated but commonly agreed upon.
• The lyrics feel very much like a hymn. I got very emotional at the "On wings arrived a tiny bird and troubled not by war or peace she sang for us a melody"
• Key changes after choruses at 1:37, 3:05 9 so far
• Clarinet (I think) acting as the Meadow Lark singing in the background at 2:00
• Interesting chord motion at 3:24. Wish I was smarter to understand what that was!
  
• Lyrically similar to Cinematic (3/5)
  
  • The literal story-telling is the only common characteristic. The lyrics read as a hymn. Very different style to what Adam has done before
  • "Metaphorical" song
• Musically similar to Adam Young Scores (3/5)
  
  • Specifically Country Hymn
• Replay Value (2/5)
  
• Final Score (8/15)
  

My Muse

• Most personally sincere song I think Adam has done. Instrumentation is stripped way down where it is mostly him and a piano
• I like the common structure with the slight changes in lyrics for the choruses
• I can see a lot of people wanting to use this song for their first dance at their wedding.
• Key changes at 1:12, 2:23 12 TOTAL
• I like how verse 1 is about the beginning of the relationship, verse 2 is about marriage and verse 3 is about eternal future. The song progresses through the relationship.
• Shortest song on the album
  
• Lyrically similar to Cinematic (4/5)
  
  • Specifically to Be Brave & The 5th of July
  • "Autobiographical" song
• Musically similar to The Midsummer Station (3/5)
  
  • Specifically to Silhouette
• Replay Value (3/5)
  
  • This is another song that I could see ending up on the radio. It feels a lot like All of You by John Legend.
• Final Score (10/15)
  

Common Themes:

• Lots of lyrics about the tide & waves. I picture different landscapes/environments for a lot of Owl City albums. Ocean Eyes is the deep ocean, ATB&B is the land and the sky, & TMS is space and the city. I picture Coco Moon to be the meadow forest and the shoreline.
• Heavy on the instrumental solos. It seems like Adam used a similar beginning riff to the melodies in the solos on most of the songs.
• Time signature variance with lots of songs using 3/4
• Key changes galore! (I counted 12)
• He really found a new form of songwriting during this album. I view Adam's writing as either ethereal dream-scape songs, like his earlier albums, or literal/personal stories like from Cinematic. I think Coco Moon has both but also adds a narrative story-telling style where he paints a picture of a story that is not necessarily about him (e.g. Kelly Time, Field Notes, The Tornado, The Meadow Lark)
• Some story-telling and autobiographical songs have an outro that summarizes the theme of the song. (Adam, Check Please, Field Notes, The Meadow Lark)
• Longer-form songs with the average track length being longer than 5 minutes. Excluding alternate songs this is the longest Owl City album
• I classified 4 of the songs to be metaphorical, 3 of the songs to be autobiographical and 4 of the songs to be odd.

I'm quite tech savvy to start. I installed the latest version of Kleopatra and created a new RSA 4,096 key with pass phrase.
​
Another system used my public key to send me a message, put that message in a file and decrypted the file successfully, ok we're off.
​
So to test this I decided I should encrypt and decrypt a message to myself to make sure everything is working. I encrypt the clipboard and select myself as the recipient, I paste that into a file to verify it looks good, BEGIN PGP ENCRYPTED MESSAGE, ok so far so good.
​
I go back to Kleopatra and in the Clipboard menu decrypt is grey. I try to decrypt the file, no it tells me it cannot determine what it is?
​
Now, if I use my public key to encrypt using a website (https://8gwifi.org/pgpencdec.jsp), I can decrypt that output from a file or from the clipboard in Kleopatra! I tried the same website, encrypt and decrypt using my public and private keys and that works fine. I encrypt with Kleopatra and try to decrypt using the site... nope it will not decrypt the text encrypted with Kleopatra.
​
The text from Kleopatra encrypt looks like this:
​
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
​
It does not include version info. I tried an older version of Kleopatra, 3.1.16, same thing. I am selecting RSA and RSA+ when I create my key but I don't think the key is the issue as it works fine on the website.
​
EDIT: If I use the Notepad feature in Kleopatra it encrypts and decrypts fine. If I encrypt with the clipboard Encrypt feature it does not decrypt in Notepad or from Clipboard, if I encrypt with Notepad it will decrypt from clipboard. Encrypt in Kleopatra on Windows 11 is broken.

I love the sound, style, quality of recording etc of this music so much. Particularly the first two tracks.
Please may some recommendations be made so I can enjoy more of the same?
I am not best positioned to describe in words the exact things about which I am hoping to hear in other tracks that I so love about this discography, other than it sounding the same in all aspects except it’s ‘terror inducing’ and unexpected shocking sounds. All I can describe using my limited knowledge amounts to the being able to identify the use of: Strings (the particular timbre and texture of the ones recorded). Harmony and not main theme played with piano. Repeated phrases in strings. The whole ethereal and transporting feeling of it. No drastic changes in instrumentation or theme or key etc as is found in movements or developing compositions. The use of this particular wordless quire-singing that’s much like droning. The deep and rich soundscape which uses electronic components as-well as typical orchestral instrumentation. The ambient sounds like scraping, hitting and plucking of the strings. (But the atmospheric kind and not so much the jolting and unpleasant kind) The use of some percussion.
Essentially I am looking for music that is as similar as possible without being the exact music I shared itself. I know this isn’t strictly possible but the closest suggestions possible would be much appreciated!
(Edit: in posting the same recommendation request in another sub and following their rules I have had to work harder at being more descriptive, I’m not sure if this makes it clearer or more abstract. But I’ll link that more detailed description here )
Many thanks.

I've been throwing some emotionally challenging stuff at my players and their community lately, and I'd like to sprinkle in some good with the not-so-good. As the title says, I'm looking for options that are nice, but won't overly affect the trajectory of a campaign.
The more setting-neutral the better.
(If there's already a list like this out there, please let me know!)

d100 Mundane but Pleasant Surprises

1. You stumble upon a beautiful field of flowers.
2. A musician nearby is playing a pleasant tune.
3. The local shop is having a sale -- 10% off everything in the store!
4. The bakery/restaurant is handing out free samples of a delicious new menu item.
5. You find a secret stash of alcohol (or other nice drinks) that seems to be fair game.
6. The bartender recognizes your party and pays your tab in thanks for the help you've provided for the people. [u/YellowGuppy]
7. During a parade, one of the performers dances over and gives you a kiss on the cheek. [u/YellowGuppy]
8. It's a stunningly beautiful spring day, and the finches are celebrating with their songs. [u/YellowGuppy]
9. You find a gold piece shining in the creek, within easy reach. [u/YellowGuppy]
10. The wild cherry trees are in full bloom, and the aroma is breathtaking. [u/YellowGuppy]
11. Right as you choose a place to camp in the woods, a fat male grouse waddles into the clearing; an easy shot for a delicious supper. [u/YellowGuppy]
12. At the tavern, the minstrel plays a familiar tune, but this time there's a verse in it that tells of a recent victory your party has won. [u/YellowGuppy]
13. Two gnomes are having a fight in the street... but upon closer inspection, it's clearly just a friendly competition for who can cast the best Minor Illusion. [u/YellowGuppy]
14. After reaching the shoreline, a small pile of perfect skipping stones has been laid out with a small wooden sign that simply says, "Enjoy." [u/YellowGuppy]
15. You discover a small journal that details the year-long journey of a young girl determined to domesticate and train a small bat as a pet. [u/onepostandbye]
16. You find a tiny wooden flute hidden in a secret fold of your backpack, with notes on how to play stuffed inside. [u/onepostandbye]
17. You find a clean handmade doll in the likeness of an elder orcish woman. A Knowledge check reveals its identity as a character from myth. [u/onepostandbye]
18. You find a love letter proposing a date to a fruit orchard. [u/onepostandbye]
19. A family of hippogriffs wheel in the sky. The youngest spies you and puts on a display. It performs an impressive series of mid-air tumbles before being shooed away by its parents. [u/onepostandbye]
20. You find a grave marker for The Unknown Hero, along with cheery bowls of fresh fruit and recently-cut flowers. [u/onepostandbye]

23. Tonight marks the return of a brilliant comet that only makes an appearance once every twelve years. [u/onepostandbye]
24. You come upon two warriors and their aides. They have just cancelled their duel, come to an understanding, and are about to go their separate ways. [u/onepostandbye]
25. A beautiful and harmless insect lands on you and appears to look at you quizzically. It does not leave until shooed away. [u/onepostandbye]
26. You find a book of stories about characters of astrological myth. [u/onepostandbye]
27. A wagon of traveling healers hails you. They offer inexpensive folk remedies and relaxing massages. [u/onepostandbye]
28. A fruit merchant came this way. Every so often you discover a tasty piece of fresh piece of fruit on the ground. [u/onepostandbye]
