There you have it folks: Welcome to the New Economy.
There's no going back now. The milestone here, besides the historic bank failures, is the (re-)creation of the Swap Line facility system through the US Fed that will allow other central banks to turn on the American money printers daily until the end of April, at least. This scheme has only ever been put online twice in history: for the 2008 crash and for COVID. The household investor must realize that the world is now in a 2008/COVID-like scenario even if the news and other media are trying to control the panic for now since it is in their best interest to prevent any further bank runs. But even this historic third turning-on of the worldwide counterfeiting mechanism doesn't hold a candle to the new paradigm shift that has occurred: which is the US Fed cavalierly, brazenly, and recklessly creating a banking ecosystem which now expects the FDIC insures virtually all customer deposits. And wait there's more: Simultaneous with this sweeping use of America's spending power to protect banking depositors comes an all-out crush on banking investors, everyone from retail to institutional holding things like $SBNY, $SVB, $CS---those who now find that their holdings are nothing; so too (for the first time ever) are bond-holders getting cleaned out, something which the governments and central banks recognize is illegal for everyone but them (as illegal as completing a bank sale without shareholder approval).
Here's what you can expect in this New Economy:
The truth is the stock market is rigged---rigged for retail investors.
If it is possible for the bag-holder to forget for a second about the unrealized losses and just look at the big picture: RETAIL PAYS NOTHING TO HODL. INSTITUTIONS ARE COLLAPSING BECAUSE OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS IN FEES AND SHORING-UP THEIR BALANCE SHEETS AGAINST NEGATIVE EQUITY AND LIQUIDITY HOLES. Just try to think from their perspective. It is you who are stealing. You get to hodl a position without paying fees as they do on FTDs and shorts, you don't have to pay commissions for using a darkpool or other professional trading mechanisms each of the millions of times daily they perform a large transaction you don't have to shell out for social media distortion campaigns and hit articles. From the perspective of the suits, from how they see it you have already bled them x amount by hodling and to them that ought to be counted against any potential tendies pile: to them, you've already robbed them and so they are given a carte blanche to rob retail investors, as has been seen now with the pilfering of anyone with banking stocks.
In this sort of environment, the numbers are all meaningless gaslighting and all that matters is time; if it took around 2.5 years since the frenzy of speculation begun in 2021 to come to a crisis of valuation and confidence, then how long will it take for the stock market to shake out the bad actors? 2.5 more? Less? Who knows: no one knew (though many tinfoilists foretold) that this financial mayhem would happen and now that it has everyone seems to have their own reason for the cause and their own narrative about what comes next.
Here's what I can tell you: $CENN and every single ticker on the market remain as risky an investment as can be in the terra incognita of the New Economy. When you see the bank moat fall as it has, it may be wise to wait on the sidelines. I'm not here to tell anyone to buy anything. Money (A) for me is one goal of my investment along with (B) fucking the suits and (C) seeing the company I like come to fruition. I've found that often when what I want triangulates in this way that if I push too hard on one side of the structure (i.e., A. money) then that force tends to be transferred and realized along the other two sides: (B) The Suits Are Fucked; and (C) Cenntro Is Now A Full-fledged EV Company.

Here's what you can expect in this New Economy:
- Share prices can go from nothing to the moon to nothing essentially instantly. There is no anchoring in reality any longer, and credit rating companies have become 2-day-late, headlines-repeating machines. Looking at a share price and expecting that it can hold at any level is to put on rose-colored glasses to bank shares flying up and down 20% when every new investor was told that these were the safest moats.
- Everything is now driven by human psychology. Ignore fundamentals, ignore technical analysis, even ignore the memes. All that matters from one day to the next is the fear and greed of the rich and powerful. Look at the insane state of their actions: The same groups injecting cash into the failing banks are privately selling their shares in these companies, then asking in bad faith how it is that the decline continues, therefore positioning themselves to have a cover for their injections of more money into the chaos of their own creation. Every stock is now caught up in this storm, and any localized news event is barely tertiary to the primary and secondary financial freakouts of the moment.
- There is enough money to cover any squeeze. Well it turns out that the apes were right about something: There is more than enough money that can be created in 48 hrs to pay off a squeeze, and for more than one memestock. The Fed erased several months of QT to QE over $300B in new cash reserves and strengthening their liquidity position to several trillions. They. Can. Do. This. Instantly. So much of 2021 was spent arguing the niceties about market cap and price anchoring, but the truth is that the sky is the limit when the people running the casino are also the world's greatest money counterfeiters.
The truth is the stock market is rigged---rigged for retail investors.
If it is possible for the bag-holder to forget for a second about the unrealized losses and just look at the big picture: RETAIL PAYS NOTHING TO HODL.

2023.03.21 00:23 arjun_r007 Discussion on hashing, some helper functions, and some time saving tips
This quest was my first proper introduction to hash tables other than dictionaries in Python. Hash tables are an interesting data structure that are commonly used for backing dictionaries or other associative arrays. Those data structures use key-value pairs to access elements. A hash function is simply a function that maps keys to values and a hash table is a store of these key value pairs. The advantage of using hash tables over other data structures is quick lookup and insertion. The main problem we had to watch out for was collisions.
I liked the visualization that & provided with the circular table, this helps you understand that the hash table does not have an end. On my end, I imagined the hash table as a bunch of registers (that can't be overwritten) and it looked like this:Insert: 1, 21, 12, 33, 9
As you can see, the linear probing method creates clustering because it is just going to the next register and inserting there. I like this animation to visualize linear probing.
Quadratic probing works similarly by getting the index from the hash function, but the difference is that the hash function adds a square to the register to give the next register. An example:
If you have the number 3 and you want to insert it into a size 10 hash table, the program will go to register 3 and try insert there. If it is full, the next register it will go to is 4. If that is full, the next register it will go to is 7. The pattern here is initial register + 1^2, then initial register + 2^2 , then initial register + 3^2 + ... The equation for this would be next_register = (number % 10) + i^2 where i is the collision number. And the program will continue looping until a new empty register is found. Rather than looking at this program as adding squares, we can try to find a pattern.
One important thing that I haven't talked about so far is load factor. Load factor is a number that is calculated by # elements in size / table size. It decides when to rehash the table to increase the number of slots/registers. Now why is the default load factor 75%? If you look at the java documentation for Hash map you will get this response:
For quadratic probing the largest allowable load factor of is 0.49 and you can look at the Loceff Modules for an example with a load factor larger than that.
Here is a proof that I found that proves the theorem mentioned in the Loceff Modules (Proof from Data Structures and Algorithms in C++ Fourth Edition)
Theorem 5.1: If quadratic probing is used, and the table size is prime, then a new element can always be inserted if the table is at least half empty.
Proof:
Let the table size, TableSize, be an (odd) prime greater than 3. We show that the first ceil(TableSize/2) alternative locations (including the initial location h0(x)) are all distinct. Two of these locations are h(x) + i2 (mod TableSize) and h(x) + j2 (mod TableSize), where 0 ≤ i, j ≤ floor(TableSize/2). Suppose, for the sake of contradiction, that these locations are the same, but i =/= j. Then
h(x) + i2 = h(x) + j2 (mod TableSize)
i2 = j2 (mod TableSize)
i2 − j2 = 0 (mod TableSize)
(i − j)(i + j) = 0 (mod TableSize)
Since TableSize is prime, it follows that either (i − j) or (i + j) is equal to 0 (mod TableSize). Since i and j are distinct, the first option is not possible. Since 0 ≤ i, j ≤ floor(TableSize/2), the second option is also impossible. Thus, the first ceil(TableSize/2) alternative locations are distinct. If at most floor(TableSize/2) positions are taken, then an empty spot can always be found.
Now that we have an understanding of hashing, we can talk about some helper functions that we are able to implement.
The second helper function I created was print() where it prints the elements but this time ____ for vacant, the entry for active, and DDDD for deleted. You can choose to implement both, but I think you should mostly just save your time and implement the second one.
Also, if you want to do your own testing make sure to implement a Hash function, I will leave this up to you but I will mention that it won't be included in your class, there are other posts on the subreddit that discuss this. I also chose to make a hash_functions.h which I included in my tests.cpp. If you do that you will need to reimplement the Hash function there (exact same format as the one in your LP) and you can copy the code from the spec to use ints or strings... (#include at the top to use size_t)
_find_pos(): For this function you must remember that all you are doing is finding the position of the register that you get from the hash modulus (after clearing the initial condition) and if that index is not already occupied and the element is not already in the vector you just loop until you find the next open position. Of course this opens you up to the vulnerabilities explained in the spec, but it is what it is... This function should be very short, initially I was trying to write a function that was 8 lines long, but I got it down to 4.
_next_prime(): This function got me stuck for many days. The idea itself is really simple, just give back the next prime from the number you are given. In practice, this can become pretty complicated due to all of the conditions you have to watch out for. I would highly recommend following the modules and understanding what is and isn't included in this function.
For my implementation, I had to manually enter all the numbers until 7, so this was a lot of if(

Understanding of Hashing
In this quest we went over two hashing implementations, linear and quadratic probing. Each has a different method for addressing collisions. Linear probing works by getting the index from the hash function, going to that index, if it is empty then insert otherwise continue until you find a free space.I liked the visualization that & provided with the circular table, this helps you understand that the hash table does not have an end. On my end, I imagined the hash table as a bunch of registers (that can't be overwritten) and it looked like this:Insert: 1, 21, 12, 33, 9
____ 1 21 12 33 ____ ____ ____ ____ 9You can think of inserting as the number jumping to the next register and inserting if empty.
As you can see, the linear probing method creates clustering because it is just going to the next register and inserting there. I like this animation to visualize linear probing.
Quadratic probing works similarly by getting the index from the hash function, but the difference is that the hash function adds a square to the register to give the next register. An example:
If you have the number 3 and you want to insert it into a size 10 hash table, the program will go to register 3 and try insert there. If it is full, the next register it will go to is 4.

The equation for this would be next_register = (number % 10) + i^2 where i is the collision number. And the program will continue looping until a new empty register is found. Rather than looking at this program as adding squares, we can try to find a pattern.
3 + 1 = 4 4 + 3 = 7 7 + 5 = 12 ...As you can see, we are adding the next odd number everytime we go to the next register. This method avoids going to the next exact register, so it avoids clustering by jumping incrementally larger registers. This is a nice visualization.
One important thing that I haven't talked about so far is load factor. Load factor is a number that is calculated by # elements in size / table size. It decides when to rehash the table to increase the number of slots/registers. Now why is the default load factor 75%? If you look at the java documentation for Hash map you will get this response:
As a general rule, the default load factor (.75) offers a good tradeoff between time and space costs. Higher values decrease the space overhead but increase the lookup costAnd as Max pointed out, from the Stack Overflow answer, it most likely comes from log(2) being rounded.
For quadratic probing the largest allowable load factor of is 0.49 and you can look at the Loceff Modules for an example with a load factor larger than that.
Here is a proof that I found that proves the theorem mentioned in the Loceff Modules (Proof from Data Structures and Algorithms in C++ Fourth Edition)
Theorem 5.1: If quadratic probing is used, and the table size is prime, then a new element can always be inserted if the table is at least half empty.

Suppose, for the sake of contradiction, that these locations are the same, but i =/= j. Then
h(x) + i2 = h(x) + j2 (mod TableSize)
i2 = j2 (mod TableSize)
i2 − j2 = 0 (mod TableSize)
(i − j)(i + j) = 0 (mod TableSize)
Since TableSize is prime, it follows that either (i − j) or (i + j) is equal to 0 (mod TableSize). Since i and j are distinct, the first option is not possible. Since 0 ≤ i, j ≤ floor(TableSize/2), the second option is also impossible. Thus, the first ceil(TableSize/2) alternative locations are distinct. If at most floor(TableSize/2) positions are taken, then an empty spot can always be found.
Now that we have an understanding of hashing, we can talk about some helper functions that we are able to implement.
Helper Functions
The first helper function that I implemented was print_states, a function that loops through the vector and prints all of the elements' states as VACANT, ACTIVE, and DELETED.The second helper function I created was print() where it prints the elements but this time ____ for vacant, the entry for active, and DDDD for deleted. You can choose to implement both, but I think you should mostly just save your time and implement the second one.

(#include
Time Saving Tips
For my experience with the quest, I found that there were 2 functions that gave me the most trouble and for the same reason, they were LP _find_pos() and _next_prime(). The insert also took me some time but I think once you have a good understanding of the hash map it is not hard to implement, just be aware of the return conditions._find_pos(): For this function you must remember that all you are doing is finding the position of the register that you get from the hash modulus (after clearing the initial condition) and if that index is not already occupied and the element is not already in the vector you just loop until you find the next open position.

2023.03.21 00:08 PhelesDragon So, s3e3 actually hits the spot for me
This one did something that Star Wars has not for me for some time: in made me care about a character. Telling the story from the perspective of Pershing and his plight was smart. Not God-tier, but competent in a way I haven't seen SW be in a while (sans Andor, which feels so far removed at this point it's practically in its own Star Wars continuity bubble outside of the main canon).
I love how they used his humanity in the episode. To protect his identity, the New Republic strips him of it with a dehumanizing code number. The writers and the woman (can't remember her name) use his former identity to draw him in and thus strip him of it entirely in the end. It was a painful inversion of concepts and very well done. I asked my wife where this level of writing had been in the prior 2 episodes, Snoke set-up be damned.
The bottomline is, for me, that I can forgive minor world building plot holes (and maybe even the odd Sequel plot groundwork) when I actually give a shit about the story being told. This story did that for me.
They even had a bit of finality to this episode with his mind being wiped. Granted, I know now these writers' penchant for bringing characters and objects back that should be atoms, so I maintain the fear that this isn't the last we've seen of "mentally complete" Pershing. That said, as an episode unto itself, quite enjoyable and genuinely heartaching.
Of course the concept of cloning is being beaten to death and sucked dry posthumously, but what can one expect? I've always hated cloning as any sort of plot device, but unfortunately Star Wars was permanently saddled with it due to that throw away comment from Luke in the very first film. Although, had the Clone Wars been more "repeatedly cloning our best and brightest warriors, and eventually even our Jedi in a multi-faction war for galactic supremacy" rather than "oh, the Stormtroopers were just all clones before", I might've marginally reeled back my opinion of the trope. But I digress...
The episode bookends with some actual Mando plot that didn't physically make me crumple over with cringe-induced muscle cramps, so it was welcome too. Baby Yoda is typically the side-character dingleberry at this point, but either you're on board with Disney's approach to him being in everything or you're just miserable. I'm trying my best not to be miserable. Suspicious lack of mention that Mando rules the Mandalorians still, but whatever. Obviously the writers don't care about the Mandalorian code they're basing the entire show's contrived plot on. So be it.
Anyway, if they could maintain this quality in writing, and I'm positive they can't, to where they actually wrote characters worth caring about, I might be happy, ultimately. I doubt it, but maybe. Either way, it was nice just be invested again, and to have some sense of closure on anything. Will it happen again? Will it even hold? We'll see.

Question of the Day:
What do you think of Sakura's actions today?
Comments of the Day:
LeonKevlar gave some interesting trivia:
Now, this episode is pretty unique. So far most manga-based episodes are usually based on a single chapter or two combined chapters. This episode however is a bit different since it uses four scenes from three different chapters with considerable gaps. They've basically taken parts they couldn't use and frankenstein'd them into a single episode.zadcap sums up the arc so far:
Toya to Yuki: "I have something very important to talk to you about."
Also Toya: "But only in public, and I'll give up for entire days at the first sign of interruption, and I definitely won't even think about inviting you over like I used to do every single week to talk after school."
On an important note, no unmarked spoilers! No jokes about events yet to come, and no references to future episodes!
Today's subject: Shuffling and Cutting Method
Calm yourself down and concentrate with your intuition when you shuffle and cut the deck of Clow Cards. Clean off your desk or table and make sure there’s enough room to shuffle.
- Put your left hand on the deck of Clow Cards, placed face down, while concentrating on what you want to fortune-tell at this time.
- Next, shuffle the cards with your left hand. Continue until you feel that the cards have been shuffled enough. If a card drops onto the floor or underneath the desk/table, etc., start over from the beginning.
- Bring the shuffled cards together into one pile. Usually, you shuffle with the left hand... however, you may use both hands when bringing the cards into a pile.
- Now we’re going to cut the cards. Take all of the cards into your left hand and divide them into 5 piles by dropping the cards out of the bottom of your hand. The number of cards in each pile do not need to be same.
- With your left hand, pick up any of the 5 piles and combine them into one pile in any order you please.
- Follow steps 1-5 again. After steps 1-5 have been completed a second time, you are ready to do some readings.

2023.03.20 23:43 KelsonWonda Imagining Amanda Holiday's Mom as a guardian
I wrote this one a while ago and posted it, but since this season might see something like this come to fruition, I thought reposting it for peeps might be cool.
Workers of the Tower
Lore Tab 2
New to the Roster
“That's impossible!” Marie said in response to the demand. She was frustrated because there was yet another guardian in front of her asking for yet another impossible task. She worked for the Tower Information Bureau, and sometimes the never-ending stream of questions irritated her. Taking a breath, she reminded herself to be composed and visibly calmed down before continuing. “The guardian roster doesn't just find guardians by name. It's never worked that way. You'll have to find another way of searching that name.”
“Look, we knew it was a long shot coming to you with this request, but this new light needs to put her mind at rest.” Tyra said pleadingly.
Marie was used to strange looking guardians, but this pair gave her pause. The one speaking was a tall Awoken female that was covered from head to toe in glistening plated armor. Her ragged comrade behind her sat on a ledge, content to let her friend deal with Marie. Normally, she would have to verify that they were guardians before giving them any answers, but she saw their ghosts hovering behind them, chatting in their synthetic voices.
“So you want me to check the roster for a name, no guardian codes or nothing? The program isn't designed that way. It was coded to require additional parameters.” Marie said sternly. She'd helped plenty of new lights learn to use the software. “You have to have a number to search.” She reiterated. “No results will come up without the target's personal identification number.”
“I know that, but we’re hoping you can think of a solution because we don't have an identification number, just a name.” Tyra reasoned passionately. Awoken were good at arguing dramatically in Marie's experience. “Listen, Marie,” She said, noting the name on her TIB badge. “I found this new light wandering with her ghost in the jungle far north of the tower. She’s fresh out of the grave and is just looking for some answers!” Tyra said sympathetically. Her Iron Banner pauldron clanged as she turned to point towards the sitting new light. “Isn't there something you can do!? I mean, look at her!”
Marie took the moment to really look at the guardian for the first time. She was an older woman with a rough demeanor. Her tattered gray poncho hung in tatters on her skinny body. Marie noted her ghost as well. Even it was beaten-up, its shell cracked and covered in dried mud and grime. The new light looked up from her work of polishing a rusted weapon that she clutched in callused hands. Her blondish gray hair was pulled back and tied with a red scarf, which made it easy to see her sunken eyes and emaciated visage. Their eyes locked. Her gaze seemed to pierce straight through Marie's bureaucratic authority.
Those blue eyes have seen a lot. Marie thought, even if she doesn’t remember.
The guardian stood, one hand clutching the old shotgun, the other the vinegar-smelling rag that she was using to clean it. She spoke to Marie in a gruff voice that hid a slight drawl, “I don’t know how these deals work, I’m new to these parts. Actually, I s'pose I'm just new in general. I’m just hankering to find out if there’s anyone goes by a name. Can you help me?”
Marie sighed. New lights usually encountered this problem just after being resurrected. They didn’t understand how anything worked. Working for TIB she'd helped thousands of new guardians learn the ropes. It was frustrating at times, like teaching your grandparents how to set up their new data streams. Sometimes the ghosts helped bring them up to speed, but this guardian was obviously very new to her situation.
“The roster application is very strict. It needs a guardian’s code in order to find them to send messages and such.” Marie explained again in her monotone voice that implied, 'I've said everything, I have to say.'
The human guardian swaggered up to Marie's desk, staring at her with those imposingly forlorn eyes. “They tell you that guardians wake up, not knowin’ nothin? I clawed myself out of a muddy, shallow grave and had no one there but a floating orb. No friends. No family. Just this rusted hunk of junk shotgun. I wandered in the jungle alone for days. After meetin' this here nice blue lady, I wound up in this city. I’m s'posed to work for some Vanguard and shoot aliens. I guess I’ll do what’s got to be done, but I need somethin' to help me get my footin'. A lead or a clue to who I was. That’s all I’m askin’.” She finished talking, and her downcast expression pulled at Marie’s heartstrings. She saw the frown deepen on the haggard guardian, and she felt worse. It’s a disturbing thing to empathize with, waking up and simply not knowing anything about the person she was.
Marie sighed again, but it was sadder and more organic than the first. “There are unofficial search programs for guardians that we aren't supposed to condone. They don’t require guardian identification codes. I can show you how they work, but their applications aren’t programmed in our operating system. I can use my private holopad that’s linked to the Vanguard database to access them.” She saw the guardian grin with a glimmer of hope and knew it was worth the extra effort. Marie made a mental note that going outside the regular SOPs was worth it from time to time.
Tyra patted the new light on the shoulder. “I’ll head off and put in an acquisition for a new ship while y’all start searching. My buddy Tom once said those third-party applications can take a bit of searching.” She said as she turned towards the hanger and paced away.
“I don’t think it’ll take very long. You said it was just one name, right?” Marie asked in her professional can-do tone.
Instead of answering, the guardian finished rubbing off the remaining rust on the underside of her shotgun barrel. Then she flipped it up with a flourish so that Marie could see it.
There on the barrel was a name engraved in the newly shined metal. ‘Jericho’

“Oh C’mon!” Momo said to himself. He just received a mechanic ticket from Shaxx, one of his frames was on the fritz again.
Momo quickly strutted through the tower hanger. He was everything a guardian wouldn’t expect in a hanger mechanic. His hair was perfectly positioned with product, and the grease on his face was so well-placed it could’ve been mistaken for makeup.
“Hey, Momo!” A familiar voice hollered to his side.
He paced over to his superior quickly, “Hello to you Ms. Holiday, what can I do for you?”
Amanda gave him a quizzical look, “Look buddy, you better stop with that Ms. Holiday stuff, or I’ll fling this here wrench in yer’ direction. I got n’ order for a new light. She needs the run down on her ship. I’m busy, so yer gon’ do it.”
“Well actually mam, you see I was just…”
“You were just about to do as I say.” She said, ducking her head under a plasma drive. “Waddle that keester over to bay six. She’s waitin’ for ya.” The furious sound of her wrench cranking bolts didn’t give him hope for a continuation in discussion.
Momo gave a slight sigh that he prayed Amanda couldn’t hear over the racket of her work. When you have conflicting orders, you always go with Holiday’s. He turned around professionally on the balls of his feet and started for bay six.
He made good time on the walk there — only stopping for a moment to check that his blue sleeveless shirt was tucked in just right to his working trousers.
She’s not here?
Momo checked around the ship, making a circle while scratching his perfectly manicured beard in confusion. The entrance ramp wasn’t down, so he knew she didn’t go into the ship yet. Walking over to the control panel, he flipped a switch and heard a hissing noise as the hydraulics on the lateral edges of the ship lowered the ramp.
“Sorry I’m late.” A voice said.
“Traveler in the dark sky! Don’t sneak up on me like that!” Momo exclaimed, jumping around to see who startled him.
He immediately noticed what she was wearing, which is his first inclination with anyone. It looked as though she just received some standard vanguard gear from the quartermasters. A red wrinkled cloak thankfully covered up her simple armor and clothes. When he looked up to her face, though, what he saw was anything but ordinary.
A thousand yard stare.
“Sorry I rattled y’a.” She muttered sincerely. “Had to requisition these threads and talk to a robot about a boom stick.”
“Geez you sound like my boss. Well, let’s get started then.” Momo said as he swaggered up the ramp. He didn’t look back because that wouldn’t be cool, but he heard her follow him.
“This here is your standard issue refurbished Arcadian ship. Easily mass-produced and built to last, this is the Vanguard’s bread and butter.” He said confidently as he aggressively patted a panel that easily came loose and clanged loudly on the ground.
He blushed, but she didn’t say anything, so he continued. “We mostly work on these and because the parts are so common and familiar, labor and maintenance are cheap.” He slid his finger along the surface of the one table in the hull and frowned, “cleaning is up to the guardian, however. Questions?”
She simply put her hand on her hip and shook her head once. Her long blond ponytail flipping behind her. Man, this lady might not dress it, but she’s cool! Momo thought as he turned around to continue the tour.
“Here is your armory.” He said nonchalantly as he rapped his knuckles on a control sensor. An entire wall panel slid out with holsters for all sorts of firearms. “Of course, you’ll have to obtain the weapons yourself.”
“As good a place’s any to stow this.” She said, flipping a short shotgun by its lever action to take the shell out of the chamber. The ejected shell she smoothly caught with her other hand. After the aggressive flourish, she tenderly set the glistening silver weapon on the rack and pressed the button to close the panel.
Momo’s jaw was on the floor after seeing the awesome move. I’m not half this cool on a good day! After realizing that he felt completely uncool being alone with someone who was this cool, he decided to cut the usual rant short. “You can only store thirty weapons on the ship, by the way. Transmat is how you will swap out weapons while on missions. The rest you will have to send to your personal vault in the tower. Oh, and the cockpit is up there. Your ghost can show you how to fly it.” After gesturing over his shoulder towards the cockpit, Momo walked down the ramp to leave the super cool woman to herself.
At the bottom of the ramp, he heard the woman ask herself, “Who’d need more’n thirty weapons?” He smiled to himself as he paced off to Lord Shaxx to tell him there’s a new guardian in town.

2023.03.20 23:33 Uptowner26 I Need to Get Away from My Narc Parent's for Good. Advice & Support Needed
A few years ago I moved back in with my narc parents after living on my own in NYC for about 5 years. I had a job (it only paid about $30k, which isn't really enough to live there honestly, friends and a boyfriend) My former boyfriend breaking up with me sent me into a depressive spiral and my father's conditioning that I couldn't make it in the adult world and that it is a scary, dangerous and unforgiving place (especially New York where my dad would tell news stories about crimes and terrorist attack attempts every chance he got) sent me packing back to their house in the burbs in a very regretful move back with them. I think it brought up other childhood traumas like being emotionally abandoned and rejected but that's something for a good therapist and I to work on.
I'm ashamed to say I've been stuck with them for about 5 years now with unsuccessful attempts to get financially free and break free for good..... way longer than I should. Possibly getting cPTSD working at an incredibly toxic job didn't help which put me into a sort of depressive freeze mode I would like to get out of also. I realized though in the past few months due to my father's antics getting worse and worse and realizing my mother has been enabling him all along, especially after he was speeding, lost control going around a cruve and drove into opposing lanes nearly having a head on collision with another car during a heavy rainstorm - with all of us in the car coming home from a restaurant. I suggested to her to take his keys away and she replied: "Well, he's very hard to talk to. What am I supposed to say?" She still drives with him but after that I refused to if he's behind the wheel again. There's other kinds of chaos he does/ narcs do which makes us miserable. I need to get a job and get out of here for good. For myself, my future and my sanity. In addition to getting into therapy whenever I can finally afford it.
My long term goal is to travel the world and possibly teach English. But right now I need to get my money together since financial freedom is the only way to break free from them beside going no contact.
Something holding me back though is the fear of falling into the hands of another narc boss and thinking what if this happens or I run out of money and become homeless? Or even just practically what do I say about my resume gap, recognize a good workplace and not let bieng nervous/ anxious on interviews? (I used to actually look forward to them but now I dread them) I think these 'what ifs" are my father's fear mongering propoganda about the "big bad scary real world" though which I know is BS but it's still holding me back from appying to jobs and just getting out of here.
How can I overcome this feeling of being hopelessly stuck with them forever and get going? Or if other people here experienced this how'd you overcome it? It's especially difficult since narc parents don't support us becoming independent adults, don't teach us skills or even sabotage us trying to move out.

2023.03.20 23:21 Thatblokeingreen Complex situation, Should I keep trying?
I shall try and keep this as simple as possible.
A (34m), C(26m), and M(28m), all live in a house together, A and C are a couple in a rocky and turbulent open relationship, who have occasionally dabbled with M as a third in the bedroom.
I met A 8 years ago when I moved to the area, before he entered a relationship with C, and before he met M. I was introduced to C and M through A and have developed some sort of a bond with each of them. A and I just generally chat and get along having known each other the longest, C and I play Airsoft together fairly frequently throughout the year, and M and I enjoy the geeky side of life and are fairly crafty tactile people (who are also neurodivergent in different ways).
A few years ago, M and I got rather close and started spending more intimate time together before I stepped away out of fear of damaging what I thought was a good friendship. M then had a 2 year relationship with another guy which ended typically with a break in contact but no other negativity.
Skip forward to the start of this year. M has been made redundant/laid off and has had a lot of free time at home, while searching for jobs online and generally being the housekeeper for A and C in exchange for a financial reduction on his rent/bills contributions. M and I sat down together and spoke about residual feelings for each other, and the potential of us dating at some point in the future, though both of us agreed that we aren’t ready for anything serious just yet. I said that I’m happy to just casually see how things are in that case, and that if he ever needed a break from A and C and their relationship troubles he was always welcome at mine place, and that I would pick him up and drop him off as and when he wanted to. That conversation ended up in fully clothed cuddles on the sofa with a few kisses but not even crossing PG13 ratings.
Since that time (2 months ago) he’s barely been in contact with me, has left me on read, and then replied hours later, but has spent a lot of time out with A, visiting shows, playing DnD, having nights out, and most recently - spending A’s birthday weekend away with him in the absence of C (who chose not to go with them).
What little contact I do get from M of late is limited to a 🥵 emoji reply on my instagram stories, and likes on my instagram posts. I haven’t initiated any messages with M since wishing both A and M a great birthday weekend away.
But as a whole, with all 3 of them, unless I initiate a conversation I receive nothing from them.
I think all 3 of them are good people in their own rights individually, but their actions don’t seem to be corroborating my feelings about them as people. A was even surprised I remembered his birthday.
I have no clue what’s going on between the 3 of them for sure, but it would appear that their actions are speaking louder than their words, and they may just not see me in any kind of friend role, which only backs up my niggling suspicion that I was only kept around for alterior motives on their part.
So what do I do? Keep putting the effort in? Back away slowly? Or cut them off sharply?
TLDR - people I thought were friends (and more in the case of 1) have stopped communicating unless I put everything into carrying the conversation. What should my response be?

2023.03.20 23:17 WeypeR__ 👾THREAD : NAMCO, LES STUDIOS JAPONAIS QUI REVOLUTIONNERENT LE JEU-VIDEO #Weypnesday
L’histoire commença en 1955 à Tokyo, Masaya Nakamura appelé « le père de Pac-Man » décide de créer son entreprise : Nakamura Seisakusho Co., Ltd
L’activité de son entreprise était au tout départ de vendre des chevaux mécaniques et des manèges à des grands magasins du Japon
En 1966, l’entreprise toujours dans le même domaine, se développe grandement avec l’arrivée de Disney puisqu’ils vont créer des produits inspirés de l’univers des dessins animés
En 1971, ils décident de raccourcir le nom en Namco mais ce n’est qu’en 1977 que ce nom sera utilisé
L’arrivée sur le marché :
C’est en 1974 que Namco débarque sur le marché des jeux vidéo en achetant la division japonaise d’Atari, Atari qui était à l’époque une entreprise de développement de jeux (le célèbre Pong) et de création de consoles (Atari 2600 par exemple)
Par la suite, Namco implanta une filiale aux USA et une autre à Hong-Kong afin de se développer à l’international
En 1978, sort Gee Bee, leur premier jeu développé par Tōru Iwatana, qui apparaît sur borne d’arcade. Il donnera suite à 2 opus l’année suivante
1980 : l’année de la réussite
En 1979, Namco décide de commencer à développer un jeu dénommé Puck Man, pour donner suite à l’idée Tōru Iwatana (c’est lui-même qui se chargera du développement)
Après 1 an de développement, Pac-Man sort au Japon d’abord puis aux USA et en Europe en 1980
Pac-Man est une révolution du jeu vidéo. Il amène une bouffée d’air frais pour le monde des bornes d’arcade puisqu’à l’époque, il y avait surtout des jeux de tisport.
Il rapportera 2,5 milliards de $ au cours des trimestres des années 90
Aujourd’hui c’est une véritable icône du jeu vidéo, présent de toutes parts dans la pop culture comme dans le film Pixel ou encore Ready Player One, il fait même parti du musée des Arts Modernes de New York
Au fil des années 80 et 90 Namco va continuer de se développer et développer énormément de jeux comme Final Lap ou encore Galaxian.
Grâce aux rachats de nombreuses entreprises dans le domaine des bornes d’arcade et la création de studio Namco à l’étranger, Namco devient un pilier
En 1994, Namco sort l’un des plus grands jeux de combat de l’histoire, Tekken.
Tekken sort sur borne d’arcade d’abord puis sortira sur PlayStation des années plus tard. Le jeu propose un univers riche et enregistrera un énorme succès au niveau des ventes et critiques
Tekken connaîtra 6 autres opus dont le dernier en date, le 7e sortira en 2015. Le 8e opus est aujourd’hui attendu, il devrait sortir sur PS5 et Xbox Series avec comme moteur l’Unreal Engine 5
En 1998, Namco connaît un énième succès avec la sortie de Soul Calibur, un jeu de combat qui sort sur borne d’arcade également. Il recevra le prix du meilleur jeu sur pour l’année 2000. 5 Soul Calibur sortiront par la suite dont le 6e en 2018.
Namco enchaine ainsi les succès et sont à l’époque, les maîtres des jeux vidéo d’arcade et surtout de combat. C’est ainsi qu’ils décideront de développer à leur tour des jeux de tirs qui connaîtront moins de succès…
En 2005, Namco fusionne avec Bandai (qui a la base était un fabricant de jouets au Japon) afin de devenir Bandai Namco Holdings puis Bandai Namco Games aujourd’hui
Ils deviendront grâce à cela la 3e plus grande entité de jeux vidéo au Japon.
Avec ce rachat Namco laissent donc derrière eux une histoire folle, une montée en puissance et en créativité incroyable pour les jeux vidéo.
De leurs débuts à 2005, ils auront développé et édite plus de 313 jeux, un nombre colossal
Fin du thread, j’ai dû beaucoup résumé et par conséquent ne pas tout raconter dans les détails donc n’hésitez pas à me dire si ça manque de clarté ou s’il manque des gros éléments de leur histoire

2023.03.20 23:10 Own_Profession_4357 Someone posts about their first completed nuzlocke, people get downvoted for telling them to not use Rayquaza and not overlevel so much. Am I a bad person for sympathizing with gatekeepers?

2023.03.20 23:04 axlain deplorable & disparaging
J, She asked me, “why do you stay?” “What do you want from this relationship?” “What’s the point?”
I don’t even know anymore. I’m at a loss for words.
We’ve both turned into gross bastardizations of ourselves, so toxic. I know half of it is my fault. I can own up to it and fix it if you tell me how.
Why don’t you take ME with YOU? Don’t YOU want ME? I know you like to make characters for your stories, but rest assured when I said someone else’s name I wasn’t talking about you.
I just wanted to be treated like a person. Empathy. Understanding. Working WITH me.
You found it flattering when I compared you to my mother. I told you our history so many times. my other girl listens and pays better attention. I’ve known her for less time.
If only you knew that you reminded me of my mother because you don’t listen, you think I’m lesser than you, expect me to solve all your problems, and you hurt me. (I don’t hold hate for her- that’s just the reality of the nature of our relationship)
You never listened. You never cared. You let me know that I was “so fucked up.” You let your silence speak because you knew it would be the safest way to hurt me and not have me fight back.
I’m so tired of fighting.
We didn’t make those notes together. Your hands clicking on your keys.
I wish it was beyond the fact that you’re a nice piece of eye candy, that I still want you, and I thought your friendly exterior was true and indicated good intention.
(Seriously. You look like you lost some weight. You look like a heroin chic model. You’re gorgeous but I really hope you’re eating enough and being healthy. Not just starving yourself.) (I really had to take a double take when you stood up, my eyes went right to your bubble butt and it was like everything was in slow motion. Even to my most attractive interaction, this has never happened to me. I felt like my eyes were gonna pop out of my head with my heart pounding like a cartoon. I’ve seen porn and good asses and drawings. But you’re so much better, even better than something artificial designed solely to be sexy. The way the light shined off that thing. AWOOGA!) (I kept looking at how uneven your mask was because it was bothering me. I feel like a dick now, I should have told you. It’s kind of like having something stuck in your teeth right? Or maybe it’s just because you want me to look into your eyes.)
You give me no benefit other than making me aware of my body’s changes. I can’t take heartbreak and major life changes now.
I’ve had vivid dreams before but my senses are usually nulled to some extent. I saw you, you kissed me aggressively. The first time I’ve felt something that felt so real. The first time I tasted something in a dream. I remember my first thought was, “you had coffee didn’t you?” I don’t know for long I can live on memories, desires, things we both want and can’t do.
I’m in a new state with nobody I know and feel so alone. You are my only constant. Even though I’m just a sex object to you at best.
Break my boundaries and get off on the fact that you can hurt me however you want. Why can’t I break away?
I only don’t leave you because I know I’ll find something worse. And I can’t risk that, I don’t want to lose myself again. And always be blamed because I’m not normal. I know I’m not perfect, hell, I’m terrible sometimes. But I wish you helped me through that. You didn’t ridicule me and boast about how you’re so much better.
You remind me of my first relationship. I didn’t love him. I was wild about him though, I didn’t want to let go.
You show me you want me. If it was a good gift, I would have given it to you. What kind of crazy person gives another a garbage bin? Either you think I’m crazy, or just insanely petty. How we’ve known each other for so long, and you still don’t know me. Fuck, come get me. Let’s release this tension.
All of you makes me feel so damn unpretty.
I’m lost. I’ll see you in another life, brother.
-C

(I kept looking at how uneven your mask was because it was bothering me. I feel like a dick now, I should have told you. It’s kind of like having something stuck in your teeth right? Or maybe it’s just because you want me to look into your eyes.)
You give me no benefit other than making me aware of my body’s changes. I can’t take heartbreak and major life changes now.
I’ve had vivid dreams before but my senses are usually nulled to some extent. I saw you, you kissed me aggressively. The first time I’ve felt something that felt so real. The first time I tasted something in a dream. I remember my first thought was, “you had coffee didn’t you?” I don’t know for long I can live on memories, desires, things we both want and can’t do.
I’m in a new state with nobody I know and feel so alone. You are my only constant. Even though I’m just a sex object to you at best.
Break my boundaries and get off on the fact that you can hurt me however you want. Why can’t I break away?
I only don’t leave you because I know I’ll find something worse. And I can’t risk that, I don’t want to lose myself again. And always be blamed because I’m not normal. I know I’m not perfect, hell, I’m terrible sometimes. But I wish you helped me through that. You didn’t ridicule me and boast about how you’re so much better.
You remind me of my first relationship. I didn’t love him. I was wild about him though, I didn’t want to let go.
You show me you want me. If it was a good gift, I would have given it to you. What kind of crazy person gives another a garbage bin? Either you think I’m crazy, or just insanely petty. How we’ve known each other for so long, and you still don’t know me. Fuck, come get me. Let’s release this tension.
All of you makes me feel so damn unpretty.
I’m lost. I’ll see you in another life, brother.

2023.03.20 23:04 x265x MilkDrop 3.0 + 500 presets + lots of new functionalities
 | Hey guys, I've been working for months (not to say years) on this project. submitted by x265x to milkdrop [link] [comments] Here is a quick summary: MilkDrop 3.0 is not anymore a plugin that need to be launched with another program but a portable program that supports any audio source (Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud...), it's an evolution of my version of BeatDrop2077, based on BeatDrop. It supports a new type of double-preset (.milk2 file) mixing 2 presets and displaying them both simultaneously. Here are a few double-preset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97XrIatMBWc Any user can now create beautiful new presets by pressing just a few keys without knowing any lines of code (F9 and then press the spacebar to create a new double-preset, that's it) and create new colors by pressing just the key 'C'. Also I created a new mode for auto-changing the presets based on beat detection. Here is a fast version of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSzdThg1iW8 MilkDrop 3.0 -Lots of new key shortcuts, see the whole list above. For some letters, the majuscule and minuscule matters. As an example, I'm using the lower-case "a" for the classic random mini-mash-up and upper-case "A" (shift+a) for another function: back to previous random preset. -Support always on top window (F7) -Support multiple monitor stretching (ALT+SHIFT) thanks to milkdropper for the code. -Real-time toggling FPS (F2) 60fps, 90fps, 120fps ect... (some presets may not work well on high fps) -Real-time toggling seconds between auto transition to next preset (F3) 15sec, 30sec, 45sec ect... -Support of displaying 16 shapes simultaneously instead of 4. Shapes are now exported with the '.shape' file extension in Milkdrop3\shapes\file.shape -Support of displaying 16 waves simultaneously instead of 4. Waves are now exported with the '.wave' file extension in Milkdrop3\waves\file.wave -8 new simple waveform (total of 16) -The q1-q32 variables have been expanded; the range is now q1-q64. -Support going back to previous generated preset when pressing the key 'a' (Shift+A) I've waited 20 years for that function! -Support deep-mash-up, not just warp and comp mashup, but all 5 bins (z) note: this is quite unstable, some presets will crash MilkDrop3. But the results can be really great. -Support going back to previous generated preset when pressing the key 'z' (Shift+Z) -Support randomize colors function, pressing the (c) key will change all the colors in the comp shader directly in the memory. Don't forget to save the preset if you like the new color. -Support going back to previous generated color when pressing the key 'c' (Shift+C) -Lots of new debug information pressing the letter 'n', very useful when you create new double-preset. -Support auto-changing the presets based on beat detection (F8) ex: https://twitter.com/MilkDrop2077/sta...05613960560641 hardcut1 : load a new preset if bass > 1.5 with a minimum delay of 0.2 sec hardcut2 : load a new preset if treb > 2.9 with a minimum delay of 0.5 sec hardcut3 : load a new preset if treb > 2.9 with a minimum delay of 1 sec hardcut4 : load a new preset if treb > 2.9 with a minimum delay of 3 sec but if treb > 8 then it will load a new preset hardcut5 : load a new preset if treb > 2.9 with a minimum delay of 5 sec hardcut6 : load a new preset if bass >1.5 + will load Bass/WHITE.milk if bass > 4.90 -Lots of new transition effects (when pressing the spacebar), the first old 4 were : "zoom", "side", "plasma", "cercle", new ones: "snail", "plasma2", "triangle", "donuts","corner", "patches", "snail2", "snail3", "stars", "cisor", "wave", "checkerboard", "curtain", "vertical", "horizontal", "bubbles", "linesvertical", "lineshorizontal" A few example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXK-pzCPfYk -Improved search function: now we can search for anything in the presets list, not just one letter. you can type 'mar' for martin's presets. you can even type 'kings' if you search for 'martin - kings cross' for example. -bunch of optimized function with chatgpt -PLAYER CONTROL: Pressing CTRL+right will load the next track (on any player, spotify, youtube if you're listening to a playlist of songs...) CTRL+left will load the previous track on any player CTRL+up will send a fastforward 5sec command to winamp only CTRL+down will send a fastrewind 5sec command to winamp only - Pressing the key 'f' will filter the presets : showing (and loading) only normal .milk presets, only double .milk2 presets or ALL of them. -double-preset (.milk2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n37SbxfLK0k Press F9 to enter double-preset mode. Now if you press the spacebar, you'll create a mix of 2 presets. You can save them with the key 's' like a normal preset, it will create a new milk2 file. You can try a few blending effect by pressing spacebar and then backspace a few times, or you can force certain type of blending pattern pressing the key 'p' ("zoom", "side", "plasma" ect...) if you press the key 'P' you can force the blending progress (10%, 20%, 30% ect...) Some blending pattern like plasma have a lots of random values, so you'll have different results pressing the spacebar and backspace multiple times. All of these random values are saved in the .milk2 file. If you only want to create double-presets, I suggest loading only normal milk presets by pressing the 'f' key twice (show only classic-presets) Note: double-presets don't work if you resize the window (including entering or exiting full-screen mode), the transition will be force at 100% and the second preset will be loaded completely. Also: -WAVE_SIZE can now have 0-100 value -ZOOM_AMOUNT can now have 0-100 value -ZOOM_EXPONENT can now have 0-100 value -WARP_AMOUNT can now have 0-100 value -WARP_SCALE can now have 0-100 value -WARP_SPEED can now have 0-100 value download : https://github.com/milkdrop2077/MilkDrop3I've setup up a patreon page, I've spend countless hours on MilkDrop3, if you would like to support this project and future updates:https://www.patreon.com/MilkDrop3 |

2023.03.20 22:47 newplayer28 Please help me with hard lotus
It looks like someone posted about having trouble doing cGloom and cleared it with thr advice he got here.
Please help me solo hLotus! I have solo’d hDamien (which I think is sort of easy compared to most bosses) with plenty of time.
With Lotus, I always die out. The best I have done is around 30% hp remaining for P3 with like 15 minutes left. I don’t think it’s damage but more damage would help I guess. I try to use iframes, knockback resistance skills, bind when needed to burst but the debris is too much! I feel like this boss is way to hard, sort of like hMag but I think if hMag had the same amount of HP, it would be mechanically way harder than even Lotus. Please help me clear before Thursday reset!
I try hLotus everyday for the past 5ish days and have gotten it down to 30%ish before I die out.
