2023.06.03 13:07 valkuznet A 2-year story of BOOP vs MYTH
Greetings all,
I rarely visit Reddit, but I felt that I should write something to conclude this for myself, too.
MYTH and BOOP mutual grudge started around 2 years ago when MYTH moved in into the fountain and started to dictate what Boop can do and whatnot. This is eve, MYTH had its plans for Fountain, and BOOP had its own. The ongoing conflict caused a lot of pain to our players, all this kind of mocking, bullying, endless logoff camps, and other unpleasant things. MYTH took 2 constellations from BOOP at our lowest, so in short, the conflict was far beyond peaceful resolution for so many players. Even a player who was mobilized to the frontline IRL, the first question after his almost half a year silence, was: "What's up guys? Have you kicked MYTH butt yet?". Eve is truly an amazing game, that can spark so many emotions.
Time went by, MYTH was growing, BOOP was staying relatively stable but slowly declining. Some people were naturally leaving the game, and a dozen of players were mobilized IRL. Some of them were our key people, which we relied a lot. Then, NODS Corp got broken. Their CEO had to leave Mariupol with his pregnant wife, lost everything, and had to live in basements and eat snow for a couple of weeks (they're okay now, fortunately). We've formed an "HRT" corp to take good care of their players, but it hurt our in-game defences. Our core constellation became weaker. Some people might say, "Why do you mix IRL and game", but well, for a CEO there is always a bigger picture to look at.
Time went by, the alliance stabilized, many people returned to the game, it became easier to ignore IRL, and people started having a lot of fun in the game again. Cheers to Belthor btw, probably the one person in MYTH I truly respect, he reached out to us and tried to support us. We remember this.
Next, anti-SHH coalition came. We were a little bit concerned that as soon as we join the war, MYTH and RETC will attack us (that exactly happened, lol - on the very second day MYTH/RETC started reinforcing everything we had, and that lasted for weeks).
One part of joining CC and for me, and no-lifeing its a couple of months was Tahini. I did "FC" -ing for years in other games, I've been leading an e-sports team, so I've had some experience how to lead. But what I lacked, was a concrete eve battle experience. I am not a EO veteran. We had some ideas, but no proof that it works. We've hit the sweet spot. BOOP/YES doctrine turned out to be the best one on the server. It somehow worked so well.
Our logic flew 2600+, our battleships could tank 140K+ DPS, the doctrine was fucking perfect, and our people did exactly what we wanted from them. Probably, it turned out to be the best doctrine on the server, at that time. Silent couldn't make their Maelstroms work and ditched them. We managed to do it.
I think Silent had a very hard time dealing with RU specifically in our prime in those first months. Too bad Tahini left CC so early, but I think I've got what I wanted, except the cap experience. I FC'ed more than 100+ RU CTAs in the first couple of months. It was 1-3 CTAs every day, some of them at night. BOOP/YES fit together so perfectly. So thanks for bringing us together.
MYTH was a huge nuisance. Our constellations were unlivable. They've made 50+ hull timers every week, killing a pos here and there. But we still kept all our capital ships and fleets in the North. We spaced with poses/citadels as much as we can, we did force MYTH to fight in the opposite timezone, and we did ask TSC to defend us, in return for this defence we promised TSC not to hit MYTH and not to bring our fleets back home for that, keeping them North.
When Silent blew up their sov, we realized. This is the time. Our hands are free. We don't have to keep our fleets in the North anymore. CC doesn't need us anymore.
Hero suggested a regroup in Querious. Fountain is an awesome place that we loved, but in the end, it was the beginning of something new. It was time to move on. The only thing that was keeping us in Fountain, is the desire to take our sweet revenge. I swear, in a little bit more peaceful and respectful environment, MYTH could have simply bought all our sov, and we would have sold it. But no, not leaving Fountain for free, this is a matter of principle now. Maximum pain mode. I am leaving it either a winner, or dead.
Then, careful planning started. We scouted all MYTH timers. We put spies in their chats, everywhere. We had scouted the jump gate network and all its structures. We polished fits on our subcap and caps. The silent war helped a lot with fleet coordination. Many people understood what I want to do and I don't even have to say it. I and Hero happened to work very well together. I covered for his weaknesses and he did that for me, I had strengths he didn't have and he provided me with things I didn't have. Plus both of us could no-life it if needed.
Then we attacked. First day. 19 timers. Second day. MYTH forms 87 battleships/50 BC and 15 caps. We have only 80% of those numbers, and we are already stretched. We are in the offence. We make a lot of hull timers, but MYTH defended a lot too. Much more than we expected they could defend, even provided their numbers. We didn't get O-PNSN. We were running out of time. 48 hours before the O-PNSN hull almost passed, and we couldn't put it in the hull.
We put their important jump gates and form-up location into the hull just 48 hours before the hull time. We had all their comms, all discords. On one of the CTAs, we listened to their cap FC ordering a warp-in, and we jumped right this second. We giggled a bit at stuck capitals but didn't gloat. You don't think this was a coincidence, do you? A few nanoseconds more and we would have gotten not only all their sub cap fleet but half of their cap fleet too. DAMN! We monitored all their pings and adjusted our pings accordingly. We aren't as crazy as Tahini to make a 24-hour op, but we did have our 7-hour op, too. I hope MYTH found the bubbled undock a pleasant experience.
The efficiency we could achieve was amazing. YES/BOOP is far away from being a pure-pvp alliance, but a lot of players learned how to play PVP. We wiped the fleet of 50+ battleships 4 or 5 times while losing 1-3 battleships each time. 1:50 efficiency? Holy shit. Our morale and resolve were so high. We are almost there. We can break it. 90 battleships and 15+ caps camping at the gate look scary, but we can do it.
And we did. A fucking huge alliance is on its knees now. Corps started reaching us. Their morale looks broken. They don't form even captors anymore, still having more than 15+ live citadels. I felt a little bit sad, it felt like the end of a big journey.
Thanks for giving this fight. We appreciate MYTH forming this force and giving this fight. Even silent hasn't formed something like this in our prime. It did take careful months of collecting information, planning, polishing the doctrines, regrouping, and no-life FCing, to break this group in just 10 days with a smaller force, which is BOOP+YES. I always had an example of NO before my eyes, and I am glad we could execute it similarly. I think you've had the chance to stand your ground, but apparently, MYTH just didn't have this kind of inner glue keeping them together, in the end. RIP!
The only thing we couldn't manage is for our spy to set O-PNSN to a little bit better timer, but that 7-hour operation with caps was a killing blow that we enjoyed. Fountain conflict is concluded, and 2 years of stress are relieved. Breaking MYTH was an endgame for a lot of our players. I am glad we do not have to read MYTH CEO and general chats anymore, but we've had more than a few good giggles -- eve is such an awesome game, emotions like that are priceless!
I don't know what's next, but now I can officially say "The fountain conflict is concluded". Thanks for reading. See you on the grid. After I've had enough of other games (Do you play Diablo 4? :P)
Enjoy the movies.

2023.06.03 13:06 oreha Curred then f.....d again by medic.
Hy everyone, sorry for the poor english. 35F, with IBS since I'm 7. Mostly managed today by following FODMAP diet, but it's not perfect and I still have flare as soon as I deviat or am stressed, and have sometime manageable pain , diarhea and constipation.
I give birth around 2 month ago to my first child. And after birth some miracle happen : My IBS disapear. I basicaly was back to a normal, pain-free transit 2 day after. I even had a belly FLATTER than before my pregnancy. For info, it's something that happen sometimes: digestive system is heavily impacted by pregnancy (both in good - endometriose stop- and bad - constipation-) and also by labor, so there is some sort of "reset" who happen shortly after birth. I suppose I had the main cause of my IBS "cured" by the fodmap diet, so all my "residual" IBS was some sort self sustaining stuff.
Anyway. I was pain-free, I was happy, my baby was great.
Until doctors screw up again.
Technically, they didn't screw me. During a weight check, they misdiagnose convulsion and a brain tumor to my child. Just before a weekend followed by a long holiday. So I basicaly spend 5 days in a lot of stress and bad food. I couldn't leave the hospital because I need to breast feed my baby and answer doc question. They wouldn't feed him because each day was supposed to be the last before they release him. They endup keeping us like that 5 days.
My baby was with an IV 'in case they need to admin something and branched to a monitoring 24/7 the whole time. The monitoring alarm threeshold was configure for a kid, not a newborn, so the alarm went on day and night every 20 minute. I didn't sleep more than that.
Since I wasn't the patient, my newborn was, I wasn't feed, so I basicaly had to feed myself instant noddle and microwave food for that time.
Since we were in pediatric unit, the room was shared with teenagers , so my partner wasn't allowed to stay in the room alone, and I wasn't allowed to use the room bathroom, because I could have molested them here.
The kids were great, but it still mean that each time I live, my kid would be alone with stranger. Also that each time my newborn was crying in the middle of the night, I should make him stop crying ASAP. Same with the monitoring alarm
The breast feeding was epic in itself. since my baby was wired to IV and monitoring, he was only movable around 1 meter around his bed. To short for me to sit with my back rested when I was breastfeeding. Also the bed was a medical one, aka 1m20 above the groud. The chair they gave me was a kid chair, way closer to the ground than it usualy are. You know how recently birthing women love to do squat holding a weight of 3 kg of gingling baby.
All of that for... nothing. When the specialist (neuro-psycho-pediatric) endup coming back of his vacation, he dismiss all the symptom as "weird move newborn to in their sleep" and "weird stuff imature brain look like" and send us back home ( we still have a few exam to do check the imature brain become a normal brain in 6 month, but it's more control than anything)
So anyway, my kid is fine.
But my IBS is back at full power.
Everyone expect me to thanks the medical team as they had cured a brain tumor to my kid.
But I'm furious. I was curred for a whole month, and now I feel like I've wasted a rare opportunity to live IBS free.
Also : taking care of a newborn when you have a flare a day, spending either an hour pooping or in too much pain to do anything other than laying on the floor suck. also, your postbirth perinea is badly impacted by the whole IBS shit ( pressure, cleaning trouble, etc).

2023.06.03 13:00 spinachgod (UK) Am I in the wrong? Garden dispute
We have a shared garden with a path down the middle. On contract, the left side is part of mine and my partners flat. The right side is part of the downstairs flat (mortgage contract). However a tenant in a different flat (our neighbour who we otherwise get on with) often uses our side of the garden - at the moment it is for short periods of time having a coffee etc, but she has spent hours out there before painting, and as the weather gets nicer, she might start having friends over etc. I have checked with our shared landlord and she has confirmed that our neighbour does not have any garden access on contract, it is just us and the downstairs flat.
It is starting to annoy me, as I feel uncomfortable using the garden if she is out there, and it annoys me that I am paying for a space that she is essentially using for free, without asking us.
Am I in the wrong? My partner doesn't understand and doesn't see what the problem is. What should I do about this, if anything?

Everytime I go to clean the basket in my pump water overflows and trips my GFI and I’m left unable to restart pump for 4+ hours. I already block off skimmer with a cup and shove a washcloth in the inlet but that doesn’t completely stop the flow. Tried searching google but no luck so far

2023.06.03 12:48 puzzlethread The pink piece of yarn I keep seeing.
I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit to post on but here goes. I keep seeing this short piece of frayed baby pink yarn…. Everywhere. I first saw it out back of my job in Indianapolis. It was rainy and windy. I wondered where it came from. Then, while doing my laundry, I glanced down at a random spot on the floor, there it was, the exact same piece of yarn. Since then I’ve moved back to my hometown with my parents about 2 hours away from Indy, and I just saw it again.
I don’t own any piece of furniture or clothing this color. When I last saw it, I was just about to move away from Indy and I was scared. I didn’t know if I was doing the right thing. When I saw the pink yarn I got a sense of curiosity and peace- Like ‘I don’t know what this means but I like it, it feels safe’
I’m about to move 16 hours away and I just glanced down, and there it was again. Randomly, in the middle of my floor. I’ve been living in this place for a year, I’ve never seen it. I don’t know what this means; but last time I took it as a sign that I was doing the right thing.

2023.06.03 12:45 Thetomas I can't believe my luck! Furitek Cayman 6x6 diecast body
So I just
posted yesterday about getting my Furitek Cayman 6x6, and wanting to find a unique replacement body and today I couldn't believe my luck.
The FIRST second hand store I checked for toys to cannibalize for a cab had a 30 year old "Tuff Ones" rollback car hauler (I forgot to take pics of it before I hacked it up, but here's an
ebay listing for one with pictures.) that I just eyeballed as roughly the right size, and when I got it home, it fit
so perfectly I was amazed.
The carbon fiber rails of the Cayman fit perfectly between the structural rails of the cab of the toy. The utility boxes fit directly over the ESC and receiver on the skids. The Komodo sits perfectly under the cab/chassis connection so the outrunner spins freely. I did a LOT of cutting, with flush cut snips, to clear the components, and create appropriate clearance for the wheels at full flex and turn. The cab is diecast so it's heavier than I'd like (I'm always going to be looking for more cabs for this), so I swapped some harder springs onto the front two shocks, and I'm considering replacing them completely, but they're fine for now with the collar tweaked down a bit to preload them.
Here it is!. I know the blue plastic looks a little "toyish", but it doesn't look bad in real life, and if I decide this is my primary cab, the bumper is going to allow me to mount some cool lighting options, and the short cab adds
even more room on the bed. I may mount my eventual winch on the blue plastic section on the back.
I'm really excited about how it turned out and wanted to share it. If you have any questions, let me know.

Why does my drinking Bud Light offend you?
May 30, 2023 4:39 pm • Last Updated: May 30, 2023 4:41 pm
By Mike DiMauro
Day Assistant Sports Editor
[
[email protected]](mailto:
[email protected])
News item: Anthony Bass, a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, shared a video Monday via Instagram endorsing an anti-LGBTQ boycott of brands such as Target and Bud Light.
"Here's the reason biblically why I believe Christians have gotta be boycotting Target, Bud Light, and any other corporation that's pushing the things they're pushing,” Bass said. “I think a lot of people make this into a political issue, or they say, 'Oh, what's the big deal?’
“This is evil, this is demonic, we won't stand for it, we're not going to go to the stores anymore and we're not going to give you our money.”
It would be impolite to wish that Mr. Bass, who throws a ball for a living, blows out his elbow. Perhaps then he could simply blow it out his tailpipe.
Because I’ve grown tired of sanctimonious and hypocritical moral outrage over what Target and Bud Light are “pushing,” while it’s permissible that Bass and his ilk get to “push” their beliefs on the rest of us.
Example: In the last two months or so, I’ve been questioned a half dozen times in public as to why I’m drinking Bud Light. Seems people like Bass have objected to Anheuser Busch’s marketing partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Their boycott of Bud Light has led to a decrease in sales both locally and nationally. (Local bar and restaurant owners say Bud Light sales are down almost 30 percent.)
It is their right, of course, to boycott the product. I’m just curious as to why what I’m drinking is their business. I drink Bud Light because I like it. And I’m still drinking Bud Light because I will not marginalize people based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. I’m respectful enough to support someone else’s desire to evolve into another gender. And I’m not stupid enough to believe that my decision to drink Bud Light changes who I am or what I stand for in any possible way.
But I wonder why it’s so important for people — and the questions to me haven’t all come from men — to announce their disdain for a bottle of beer, tacitly implying their sexuality is “normal.” Remember this one and write it down: If you are truly comfortable with who you are, you needn’t announce anything to anyone.
And yet to further illustrate how screwed up this country really is, there’s this: Anheuser-Busch hasn’t merely been accused of alienating its traditional customer base with the partnership, but some LGBTQ+ campaigners have also criticized the company for not defending its ties with Mulvaney.
Amid all the finger-pointing and fear-fanning, the truth hides in the corner, too scared to emerge. The truth is that we are supposed to think critically, weigh evidence from both sides and then make up our own minds. Instead, we’ve become a country hell bent on legislating whatever cause we think is right and just, while burying the other side from all consideration.
It’s political tribalism. All or nothing. One side or the other. If you’re not in agreement with every morsel of the transgender movement, you are a snarling, hating, infidel. If you’re not in total agreement with Anthony Bass and his beliefs, you’re going to wither in hell.
But what if — and hold on to your ascots here — two conflicting positions can still be true? Example: What if I support Bud Light’s decision to use a transgender influencer, but also believe that transgender high school athletes belong in their own division?
I disagree with the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference’s policy complying with a state law that requires all high school students be treated according to their gender identity. We should consider a sports-centric law that acknowledges sports' unique challenges and accommodates the physical component for success that exists virtually nowhere else in society.
Sex discrimination in education, health care, housing and financial credit have no place in this country. But we must — must — realize and accept that sports require a physical component to succeed that calls for different guidelines.
Put it this way: Applying to a school or for health care, housing or financial credit requires no physical component to succeed. Sports require speed, strength and agility and do not fit under the same umbrella. And yet sports are routinely shoved into the same arguments about unfair treatment. Injustices get piled on for rhetorical usefulness, even though they're not applicable.
The male born composition has inherent physical advantages, rare exceptions noted. But in the aggregate, there are physiologic differences between biological males and females. I don’t believe writing that makes me transphobic. We should respect a person’s pronoun of choice. But that doesn't mean we have to blindly agree with claims that are not supported by science.
Yet that appears to be the new end game in this country. Blind agreement. Their side or yours. And here I sit, sipping my Bud Light, trying to figure out why so many of us act like the last three letters of Anthony Bass’ last name.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro

Robin great points the right can’t even keep track on who to be mad at. Why are they so sensitive? I here Chick-fil-a is evil now for they “ensuring equal access,” “valuing differences,” and “creating a culture of belonging,” under the title, “Committed to being Better at Together.” what monsters!

This article pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about the situation. Bud Light basically sent someone a can with her image celebrating a milestone. The fact it turned the beer into enemy number one doesn’t surprise me considering the vitriol that has become commonplace in our country. I have had plenty of private messages regarding a video I posted supporting a beer, and more importantly a human being. Most have been vehemently against my support of both and relish the chance to send me a screen shot of Bud Lights stock on a daily basis with a “Go woke, Go broke” ending. I believe much of the vitriol comes from news and talk radio which is why Spotify now fills my vehicle with music instead of talk. I ask everyone to limit their news intake to 30 minutes per day regardless of your party affiliation to center your life. Sometimes my radio will land on a “news station”, and I can feel my blood pressure rise as the most divisive topic of the day is being discussed with a majority of the facts not being considered. I am not recommending folks to ignore what’s happening in our world, but would point out that our country has survived many decades without the need for “up to the second” news reports. Most of the things we worry about will never happen and it seems our country is living in a constant state of fear which is certainly to blame for the vitriol. There will never be a point where everyone in the country will collectively say we are all happy with everything, but I still have a deep believe that with constructive conversations and true empathy we can get us close. When I get my boat in the water I would love to have an ice cold Bud Light while listening to my relaxing boat playlist, and of course talking with my favorite sports writer. That’s an invitation Mike. Great article.

“Bud Light sales are down between 26% and 35% nationwide additionally Budweiser and other AB brands (Michelob Ultra, Busch Light and Natural Light to name a few) have also taken a hit of around 11%.”
All the more reason to explain what set this off. Completely unhinged.
“My take, buy Coors stock now”
And that statement reinforces my point since Coors has been a decades long supporter of LGBT rights probably the biggest supporter (it all began with a workegay alliance boycott ironically… or not)
“Coors Light has been a sponsor of The Center and Denver PrideFest for decades,” says Rex Fuller, CEO of The Center on Colfax. “The work we have been able to do at The Center over the last four decades would not be possible without this support and we are grateful for it.”
Beyond supporting Denver PrideFest, Molson Coors has a distinguished history of supporting LGBTQ communities across the country, with significant support for organizations such as Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Matthew Shepard Foundation, National Amateur Gay Athletics Association of America, National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, LGBT Victory Institute, Out & Equal, and One Colorado.
In addition to these partners, Molson Coors works with local LGBTQ organizations in key communities through its Tap Into Change program. Annually, the summer program donates more than $100,000 to these organizations with a consistent growth in impact each year. Events take place in each city to help raise additional funds, awareness, and support for the missions of these local organizations. Over the past 10 years, Tap Into Change has raised nearly $600,000 for local LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS nonprofits.

This is even though like 2006, 2010 and 2014 they had to go through boycotts for this. And they did shrink back in response, but also came right back and didn’t move backwards for long.
And what will I do?
Continue drinking Corona because I drink what I drink.
It’s damn near impossible to do a successful boycott long term. The web of corporate connections means when you think you’re hurting one, it’s actually benefitting another one connected to it.
The beverage brand that owns Budweiser, Corona, and Stella Artois, is suing US beer-maker Constellation Brands for using the Corona brand name in a hard seltzer, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
Beverage giant Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) acquired Corona’s parent company, Grupo Modelo, in 2013, but US antitrust regulators required it to sell the company’s US-based business to Constellation. AB InBev retained rights to the products in other markets, and the deal gave Constellation the rights to produce Corona and other Modelo brands in the US.

Robin- not certain this article nor all the comments will move the needle. Bud Light sales are down between 26% and 35% nationwide additionally Budweiser and other AB brands (Michelob Ultra, Busch Light and Natural Light to name a few) have also taken a hit of around 11%. Bud Light has been the best selling beer in the USA for over 20 years and the normal volume of sales is 27 million barrels a year or 1134 million gallons. A 30% drop equals a loss of 340 million gallons a year. My take, buy Coors stock now

Do people realize that Bud Light sent a pack of specially made cans with the person’s face on it and did a minute long or so bit released on like TicTok? It wasn’t some big nationwide PR campaign yet it rubbed someone the wrong way (or so they would like us to think) and it snowballed into this.
I don’t ever want to hear about people calling “the libs” snowflakes or use their center liberal stances as a weakness. These champions of “conservatives” are gullible whiny babies.
I watched in real time a bunch of idiots blow something up out of nothing and then saw them flocking to the internet people with their influencer pages and podcasts and publications where immediately they were being hawked “anti-woke” beer and all these other wares, often made by the same places they are boycotting for double the price.
There is a whole market opening up to people that will only get their businesses off the ground (temporarily for a quick cash grab) by using these outrage tactics and capitalizing (literally) on impaired brains that as Mr. DiMauro correctly observed “Blind agreement. Their side or yours”
Bless your little void of empathy and common sense hearts. Don’t spend all your money in one place now, spread the wealth to these people selling you overpriced junk.

For me… Bud Light as a “beer” sucks. I would rather support local breweries that provide far better beers. As far as this column… as far as AB selecting this influencer in their campaign I have no opinion on it or that person. Up to each to decide for themselves.
Regarding this column actually Mike what you are writing is basically the same as the boycott and the changes in attitudes (political divide) of the country. Often used by politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle screaming to be open, defending one´s right to choose, freedom of speech etc.. and this is the most important part..”unless it does not validate their opinion or view”. This is exactly what you are writing. So if someone elects to boycott something and we know the WOKE police and Leftists enjoy not only condemning opposing viewpoints to the point of boycotting, attacking employers for the “views” of their employees etc… and demanding they be removed from the position their are in. So if someone boycotts something let them… I would ask you… why does it offend you that others are using their constitutional right by boycotting (freedom of speech). I always respect other´s opinions and even when we do not agree. Sadly we live in a world where people are afraid to speak up due to the potential ramifications. None of us will always agree and I know the powers to be are trying to “force” us to all be uniform in our opinions which is sad. And btw Bud Light is terrible anyway… How about you focus on sports.

2023.06.03 12:38 teensyghost Hardcore Run + General First Impressions: (i hate the scroll of death evasion !!!!!!)
I love the game so far. My first playthrough is hardcore which hasn't been quite as fun as I was hoping. I'm very nitpicky on the handful of things that really bug me about the game, but the game is otherwise so fun, 9/10, wonderful, I'm going to put 1000 hours in and get my moneys worth with this one.
Hardcore:
LOWER THE DROP RATE OF THE DEATH EVASION ELIXIR. PLEASE. PLEEEASSE. It's honestly belittling and annoying as hell to see 4 or 5 drop at a time in a single group or during an event while going through the game. Honest? You can't even make it until Scosglen, so why the hell did I learn it at level 2? Why do so many drop? It's in my face all the time that I'm playing hardcore, but am I really? Here's two different methods of avoiding it, there you go.
Art:
Flawless. Act 2 is so, so beautiful. The
bloodied wolf scene in tristram was my first real 'wow' moment in the beta and it still made me so happy in the real game. The
druid intertwined with the tree was a gorgeous sight, however, a small explanation of such a stunning set area would have been nice.
The blood vane, the crimson path? Breathtaking. I love the theme. I love the aesthetic of Lilith's corruption throughout the game. The environments are stunning.
Story:
First thing, In this game they do even worse with one thing than diablo 3 occassionally did; long dialogue where I'm standing around listening to long, dramatic voice acting. First? The dying soldier that
warns you of lilith in the beginning of the game? 'Vigo, metal does not harm her, spells do not affect her' (I'm paragraphasing, but that guy) Is so obnoxiously annoying. But, the actor did a great job! But you have to set it correctly. If you want dramatic moments like that, force me into a mini cutscene or let me continue on in someway. It breaks the pacing. Same thing happens all the time where I'll stop and think, 'Wow, they really could've thrown a mob in right here to give me something to do and not hyperfocus on the weird sounds this actor is making'. The in-game models are doing next to nothing, so it starts to feel like the voice actor talking in my ear, not a full character. It's very immersion breaking. When you
save Petr's son, I get the same feeling.
There are so, so many moments through the story where two people are talking and I couldn't give less of a fuck cause nothing is actually happening on my screen. Donan and Yorin when you first meet them? Bro I'm here and waiting. I'm just hearing voices, and they're usually unnecessarily dragging out their (dying breaths). No one gets that cool, long final words monologue until I care about them, like the>! tree-attaached druid.!< I didn't mind quite as much because the set was beautiful to look at, and>! I actually cared about his dog. Not him, but his dog!<.
Scenes like
Donan in the keep taking his time to drag the bodies into a neat row, or the mini cutscene where you first met
Neyrelle's mom and she attacks her actually work pretty well, and I just wish all of the dramatic voice acting could have mini cinematics like that or a few mobs for me to occupy myself. Let me follow
the dog around a pretty area to look at. Let the characters talk and chat in my ear about their thoughts or whats happening as I walk through the mining shafts in the first act. Either talk as you walk, make me cinematic, or give me something to kill.
Second thing, is the plot of the first act. I don't enjoy the incentives I'm given. I am here to kill demons, yes, and Diablo has always been a battle of good and evil, yes, but I am not slaying demons to be a saint I am doing it for fun and coin.
Why the hell am I signing up for a holy mission? When Lorath asks me 'What are you going to do about (your connection with Lilith)?' when you first meet him? I hated the response. 'Ah yes, I'm going to start a holy pilgrimage and dedicate a lot of blood and sweat into figuring out what she wants for the people, and then kill her and everything inbetween, including massive demons' just did not check out for me. I guess that's because we don't know anything about our characters, whereas in D3 we're said to be noteworthy adventurers seeking this kinda thing out, and in d2 we're repeatedly praised for our helpfulness as a random adventurer that doesn't need to be doing in this. But I really felt like killing all>! of the townsfolk that drugged us !
I was not sold in act one that Lilith was awful through my many playthroughs.
Her corruption of the initial town was cool and super aesthetic. They killed a priest together that was super mean to them! We dislike Inarius cause he's an asshole! I think Act 1 just feels really weird compared to act 2.
I'm here serving the church of light, basically. In act 2, we see direct consequences from Lilith's cruelty that I actually want to prevent, regularly. In act 1? Idk wtf Lilith even wants. Maybe she wants to hook up with Inarius again, idfk. Maybe she's vibing.
The conversation with Lorath didn't feel incentivizing, either. It was not until
we killed Neyrelle's mother that I really felt against Lilith as the villain, otherwise, I really wished for an option to just join her side instead, it sounded like more fun of an option. Tbh, I'd still prefer that.
Act 2 does a way better job of selling that she's an antagonist. I think there were a lot of missed opportunities to better explain the nuance going on in her
mind control/corruption throughout the entirety of the game, but, I'm hoping that it starts to feel cohesive in act 4. I wanted>! Airidah and Vhenard's logic during their corruption!< to be slightly sound in logic. I think this has been part of the fact that I still like Lilith, her words 'sin is their birthright' and the sentiment of 'freeing the people, cull the weak' obviously has horrible consequences, but has some logic there. I think they almost achieved a smarter theme of this through the game, but fell just short. You ask a lot of corrupted people 'Why?'
Airidah said 'My people have forgotten what it took to vanquish Astaroth. How are they going to fair against hell?' This... is so close, but not quite. I loved and ate up the lines where she
implied she was trying to help her people, worried that they had become too soft and needed this hardship to prepare and survive. But... it kinda fell apart as she talked. She started to feel like a wasted mind. I wanted her to say
'I see them preparing. Uniting with the knights they hate, even. You're even here for them. If they can't remember what it took to survive Astaroth, if they don't adapt and survive me, how will they ever fare against Lilith? I don't want to see my people destroyed.' Not that that's perfect, but,
if these people are corrupted to the levels of mind control where their sense is gone? I don't want my character to bother asking them why. Just let me put them down. Everytime someone asks anyone 'Why' in this game just feels like a waste.
Shop:
Not a huge fan of the microtransactions so far, even though I wasn't against the idea before seeing it in action.
I hate that the $20-30 sets also have a separate accessory set that's literally sold separately. I LIKE that my friend was able to purchase the raised by wolves accessory set that was much cheaper and now we match, I like that there are cheaper options, but I think that each set could've been a $18-25 version that included everything, then maybe a $5-10 mini version like 'Here's a cute weapon, a dog, and an emote' as it is. But include it in the big set! If you think about it, the pricing isn't $25 for their most expensive sets, but $35 which is sorta ridiculous. I saw this the most on the Druid heir of the sea set, like, why separate it? That's so stupid.
It just feels bad browsing the shop. I was even excited to make purchases if something caught my eye before I dug into it. I also hate having to buy entire, full sets when honestly I'm just upset at the lack of tattoo options and want those to put on other characters. I'm hoping that the battle pass has individual items in it I can unlock through it. I want to buy and find small cosmetic options. Especially since a lot of helmets in the shop you can almost find in game, just with a changed detail or two.
Character Creation/Shop pt 2.
I really, really hope in the future to see more makeup options, tattoos, hairstyles. Anything at all to make the character creation experience a liiiittle better since its pretty lackluster right now. I think being able to tweak my diablo characters is great, but my mind automatically wants way more options when given a character creator tool. I like writing and drawing so I have a few druid OCs which got me excited, but they visually just would never work as a diablo druid. My friend had a problem, too, of her rogue's likeness just... meh. Didn't quite hit.
I want more hairstyles. I'm glad to see I can buy tatttoos, but I probably won't just because I don't want to pay $25 for just the tattoos. I like the item sets., just not enough to pay for them. Maybe something cool will come out at some point, but, I was pretty underwhelmed. I think I maybe still have to see what endgame gear looks like. I was planning to buy at least one set, but, idk if I will.
Gameplay:
One complaint I keep hearing is 'So few skill slots'. Not that this makes sense we have as many as any other pc game other than a jrpg. I think the problem is actually that we're getting our ultimate abilities by level 30. We're unlocking the whole ability pool too fast and then going back to add in tweaks and buffs without actually getting new things between 30-50 while we wait for the paragon board. Overall, there's a slightly lacking sense of progression which honestly feels so tough on characters with slow, boring levelling like the druid.
Otherwise? Pretty good. I dig it. Please tweak the 1-50 damage numbers on druid so it isn't 'pulverize or nothing.' Especially levels 5-20, 25 holy god ew disgusting.
I think Rogue feels amazing, Sorc looks like it's going to be fun, Necro... is eh? I'm not having much fun and, another guy put it better, it does not feel like minions are your bread and butter. I enjoy the druid companions more than the necro ones. I'm most likely going to fully sacrifice them all if the bonus for doing so is better than keeping them. Druid feels so cool and so underwhelming. Like the rogue feels cool both in design and because you're actually killing shit. Druid feels so cool and nice, but has too high cooldowns, your damage sucks ass... it's eh. Barb? Doing barb things, having a good time. I really wanna play necro and druid, but, they just don't quite hit.

2023.06.03 12:35 DontGiveUpOnMeNow I need advice I messed up at work
I need help I'm so upset and don't know what to do I'm scared I'm gonna get fired
I'm very upset I just got home from work I have worked in fast food for almost 15 years. I am 31 years old and I was recently homeless for 2 years. I finally got a job again and I'm doing great just got a new apartment and I'm off the street and have been feeling great and then this happens. a lady comes to the drive-thru an hour before we close I take her order I hear her say a medium french fry and a medium Coke I tell her the total is 702 and when she gives me the $20 bill she says oh no I said a number five not a medium fry and a medium Coke and I said okay I got confused for a second and she said never mind I don't have time for you to change the order just give me the $20 back and I'm going to leave. so I gave her the $20 bill back that she handed me and then she had a one dollar bill in her hand and said you only gave me a dollar so I looked down in my drawer and I had no twenties in there at all. so I knew that I could not have kept her 20 so I told her what the heck is going on it just disappeared out of nowhere. I looked under the register of and everywhere for the $20 bill and I started getting very nervous because she was yelling at me telling me you're trying to steal my money I'm going to tell your manager you stole my money her husband in the passenger seat was screaming. so I closed the window and started to try to breathe and I was thinking what the hell happened. so in the end she said never mind just give me the medium fries and medium Coke and give me the change from the 20. she said I gave you two tens I did not give you a 20 that's why you are confused and I was thinking to myself why would the $20 bill slot be up if she gave me two 10s. but I was so confused so I gave her the change of the $20 bill which was 12.98 . so she wound up getting her $20 back and $12 out of the drawer which leaves the store only I think about $12 short but on the register when I clocked out I was $31 short because the order that she made for the French fry never really was paid for so there is $7.02 missing from that as well and I gave her the change so I don't really know how she made the register $31 short but I'm so scared I'm going to get fired I actually was crying after my shift because I knew that something was going wrong and that something wasn't right but I could not stick to my guts and now I'm terrified I'm going to lose my job. What is the procedure for this what is going to happen to me

2023.06.03 12:35 Sensitive_Rise4226 [RANT] You guys really don't know the massive descension in looks a dark beard does to a man.
The amount of mental pain and cortisol spike I get from just a couple of hours after shaving is starting to take its toll on me.
Imagine having to shave everyday just to retain a youthful harmonious image of yourself because you are boyish and neotenous. Imagine the pain of still having a shadow after shaving because of your dark beard med swarthy ethnic genetics. Even after 6 rounds of laser hair removal, although some thickness has decreased, it's still dark, thick, and coarse overall.
Fucking cursed facial hair. Monkey genetics coming out on 90% of men after puberty. Literally your body trying to fuck you over. A sign of aging. A sign of death. The lucky few don't get any facial hair growth at all. But sometimes they are non-boyish and non-neotenous so they end up wishing for pubes to grow on their face to cover up their subhumanity.
I'm lucky enough to be mostly neotenous, but unlucky enough to have med bearded subhuman genes in me. On top of that I'm a poorboi. So continuing to get laser is gonna take more wageslaving just to afford. Fucking shit.
But fully eradicating this subhuman trait will not only ascend me to the next level, but will save me so much time in getting ready for anything.
Have to make a quick run to the store? No problem. I just get up and go. No shaving required.
Get invited to a night out? No problem. Quick wash and go. No fucking shaving.
Wanna take a selfie for Insta or FaceTime someone? Easy.
Fuck pubic hairs on face. I won't stop until I've eradicated every hair follicle on my jaw and mustache. I'm starting a holocaust against facial hair.
GAS THE BEARDS.

2023.06.03 12:34 CrazyCatLady_2 After pregnancy glucose drink today
I am on my way to the lab for my PP glucose testing. It will be a 2 hour drink thing. I had hubby do Night Shift so I can catch some good rest. Woke up, peed, washed face and creamed it - wasn’t sure if I should brush my teeth or not due to the fasting (?), went downstairs to pump - finished & took a stripe out to test. Fasting right now is 100! I’ve never even had that as a fasting number during my entire pregnancy.
Now I’m freaking out.

2023.06.03 12:32 Specific-Debate-9655 Offline content bug!
Anyone facing this issue where sometimes offline content does not work on flights? This has been happening to me for Apple Music and YouTube premium downloads. It’s frustrating when you download something before boarding and then you’re stuck on a long flight for hours without any of the content playing back. I tried restarting the phone, toggling airplane mode on/off but had no luck. It seems to work fine after landing and receiving carrier reception and turning airplane mode back on. Only workaround I’ve found is to put the phone on airplane mode and check before taking off. Sometimes it takes 4-5 tries. After take off once there’s no reception you can’t do anything.. Also quick Google search didn’t help me with any solutions so here I am. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

2023.06.03 12:30 TightAsF_ck Jam Doughnut £2 Sign up Bonus + Ongoing 2% Cashback at Aldi
Jam Doughnut is a a cashback app that gives you money back for buying gift cards. They offer up to 20% cashback on gift cards for over 131 brands (2-4% at most supermarkets). They also give new customers
a £2 bonus when you sign up using a referral code and make your first gift card purchase!
They are the only place to get cashback on Aldi vouchers. They give 2.5% back when you buy Aldi giftcards via open banking.
Here's a visual guide on how you can get the best cashback at various supermarkets (without using a crypto card).
I previously posted a crypto version of this that shows you how to get even higher cashback rates.
Don't want to read on? Here's the link to download the :
https://jamdoughnut.com/ - Enter code
GMN2 for a £2 bonus when you buy your first giftcard.
How it works
This app is a darling of the sub, and a little different from the usual suspects of cashback sites. With Jam Doughnut you get instant cashback for purchasing prepaid voucher codes (gift cards) for use with your favourite shops (can be used online and in store). Voucher codes are added to your account instantly, and you just need to scan your voucher at the till or enter the code at checkout.
Your cashback is also immediately added to your "Jam Jar" in points format. 100 points = £1, and you can exchange these for a cash payment once you get to £10.
The cashback payment takes 1-2 days, depending on the time you withdraw (see Payment proof).
How to make the most of Jam Doughnut and get your £2 bonus
1 - Sign up for Jam Doughnut here: https://jamdoughnut.com/
2 - Enter referral code GMN2 to receive your referral bonus
3 - Buy gift cards for your favourite shops (using open banking, or using cards in your Google/Apple wallet)
Note: to stack with a cashback card, you need to pay by card and the corresponding cashback will be lower than the headline rate. However, you can get more overall by doing this (as Uphold offer 4%)
4 - Receive your cashback into your Jam Doughnut account
You will get 200 points (£2) when you sign up and purchase your first gift card.
5 - Withdraw your cash when you hit £10
6 - Refer your friends for a £8 bonus this weekend, but its usually £4. They get £2, you get £4 when they make their first withdrawal.

2023.06.03 12:30 DependentAd2385 I need advice
I need some advice: I don't understand if I am giving mixed signals to this guy and therefore I annoyed him or he is just not that interested. A mutual friend introduced us, long story short basically one night I decided to write to him: the conversation was going very well (he replied to me practically right away and we talked for about an hour) however I got sleepy so I left him on read at the last message. Two nights ago I wrote to him again, he still replied after a short time, the conversation was not the best and it continued the morning after, however it was quite forced, I got kinda bored so I didn't open his last message...what should I do? I am not in love with him or anything, there is a slight interest on my part (I don't understand if it's reciprocated, but the times we talked he seemed very nice) but it seems to me that this situation is going nowhere... what should i do?

2023.06.03 12:29 KKshilling Seeking Advice: Where to Buy My First MacBook?
I'm currently in the market for my first MacBook, but unfortunately, there are very limited stores in my city, and they aren't offering any discounts. So, I decided to explore online options and came across two websites that caught my attention. I'm hoping to get some insights and reviews from those who have experience with these sellers.
- iTech Store: I found an appealing deal on iTech Store where they are selling the MacBook M1 Pro 16-inch for 160k. Since there is no physical store in my city, I'm a bit hesitant and also unsure about their return policy. Here's the link to the product: iTech Store MacBook M1 Pro 16-inch
Have any of you bought an Apple product from their website? I would appreciate hearing about your experiences and insights.
- Aptronics: Another option I came across is Aptronics. They offer the MacBook M1 Pro 14-inch for 150k. Although Aptronics doesn't have a physical store in my city either, I noticed that they have multiple stores across different cities. I have taken a look at their Instagram page, reviews, and feedback, which seemed positive. Here's the link to the product: Aptronix MacBook M1 Pro 14-inch
If any of you have purchased anything from either of these websites or have any insights into their credibility, please share your reviews.
I would greatly appreciate your advice in making the right decision on where to purchase my first MacBook. Thank you in advance for your help!
