2023.06.03 14:16 TheRetroWorkshop The Making of Aion Log #2: The Aionic Flag

The Making of Aion Log #2: The Aionic Flag
Below is the primary flag of Aion (9-16 ratio). (You can see this symbol as the profile picture for the Sub-Reddit, as well.)
Aionic Flag
In the first place, the symbol is a modified version of an alchemical symbol I found, which I believe represents truth. I created a version of this older symbol, and you can see it as the upvote icon. Within the Aionic framework, here is the meaning of the flag above.
The symbol in the centre is known as the Aionic Triad, Emperor's Triad, or the Forever Plains Triad. It is seen on every soldier and officer within the Aion Empire, as part of their insignia. The flag version, known as the Aionic Flag, sees the Triad in the centre of a red field (background). (#8C0000 hex value for the red I created, known as Aionic Red. The closest real match is Crimson Red (#990000), which is slightly lighter. The red field, encasing the Aionic Triad, represents Chaos and the forces attacking Aion.)
The Aionic Triad has four elements (according to High King Balthazar II):
(1) White Circle (Aionic Light/Aionic World): Represents Aion and Order -- and creating civilisation within the Chaos; and having power over it.
(1a) Left, black pointed element. Left principle/Third Pillar: Loyalty. The left-hand supporting pillar of Courage.
(1b) Central, black pointed element (larger). Central principle/First Pillar: Courage. The central pillar of integrity and tenacity.
(1c) Right, black pointed element. Right principle/Second Pillar: Honour. The right-hand supporting pillar of Courage.
This post might also act as a microcosm of sorts, giving you a sense of the level of detail I want to aim for across this entire setting, story, and game... even if many of the elements, designs, systems, and ideas are implicit, or wholly omitted from the Rulebook and actual gameplay. I want to create a sci-fi setting and piece of warfare, as if it really existed (with the obvious elephant in the room being space zombies. Not realistic at all. The other being the impossibility of such a vast empire/system. I shall speak to these core issues at a later date, I promise).

2023.06.03 14:15 Cashcash1998 Toenails deformed and lifted after years of fungus - will they ever grow back normally?

I have struggled with toenail fungus since middle school, and have been through a variety of stages, including thickening, ridging, and lifting off the nail bed.
Since then, I’ve gotten rid of my fungus for the most part (still have white keratin debris I try to scrape out every once in a while, which could be fungus, but it’s not the black stuff I used to have), yet my nails look worse than at their peak levels of fungus. I trim them often and file them down significantly with an electric nail file, but they are deformed and lifted off the nail bed. You can literally see the gap between the nail and the toe - and there is hard nail-like material (keratin?) that is taking space between the two (almost like it grew in to make space between the nail and the toe). The right toenail in particular also tapers at the top edges as the nail is not fully attached at the sides after the lifting of the nail bed. And it continues to grow in this shape.
Photos (sorry, it’s not pretty):
Side by side: https://ibb.co/C23Hhq3
Right: https://ibb.co/72sdN38
Left: https://ibb.co/xmVPfhz
Is there anything that can be done about this? Even with filing, trimming, and painting when needed, they look rough and it’s hard feeling like I need to hide them all the time.
Thank you!

2023.06.03 13:47 LocalBossman Tattoo confusion - advice!

Hello all,
I have tattoos in black and gray, and I've been looking at my next tattoos that I'm thinking of getting done which are in colour.
I'm not too sure how the colour would look on myself (brown skin), but to get the design in black and gray I feel would take away from the authenticity of the design, if that makes sense?
Any advice + experience with both black and grey and colour would be amazing, thank you!

2023.06.03 13:27 Heythere3152023 The story of My Love

So this all started 9 years ago i was a teen and so was she . It first developed as a crush but it was like the stars were on my side she and i became friends and for me it just bubbled into something that was special very very special. She was funny interesting and in general an extremely great person. I did not tell her anything then i know I was stupid . So the news hits that she is moving to another city again i say to myself that it would be useless to tell her now. Still spent plenty of time with her till she leaves. I being the traditional masculine male say its fine and move on but she in me kind of hurts like doesnt make me cry or anything but still leaves a void. She was a catholic and so times like Christmas Easter and all just made me feel empty I did not know why then but i soldier through the pain. Looking at other girls would just feel wrong and i did not allow my self to be guilty.
​
One day I had a dream of her I wake up sweating and the feeling i had in the dream was just magical it just completely filled the void, i smiled that day. I said enough was enough so i told my girl friends (girls that were friends) to talk to her about me I could not do that cause my parents were very strict and more then getting punished myself i was scared that they would tell her parents about it and all contact if any would cease. There was a lot of problems in the middle due to my so called girl friends but thats a story for another day .
So i finally talk(on call) to the girl this is(4 years later) I instantly profess my love (Stupid i know) but she was not awkward nor sounded weirded out she told me that she has to know me first in order to be interested. I was fine with that reasoning so slowly we used to call first it wasnt that often cause i am an idiot but slowly a year or two later I got my first phone (Yeah i know ) so then we started texting and other things i say i was okay at carrying a conversation during texting but while on phone call i dominated that game. Slowly time flew she and i again became close friends.
Then the lockdown hit thats when the story becomes interesting
We talked frequently and got closer and closer as friends . TBH talking to her was one of the most blissful things i think i ever did it was so much fun that how 3 to 4 hours passed like minutes we watched a few tv series together (Like she would be watching it on her side and i would be watching it on my side and texting about the events( cheesy i know )) . I would say it was true love on my side
this went on for around 2.5 years we texted we talked but just as friends she knew my position as to what i felt for her
She tells me that she cant be in a romantic relationship over the phone and a physical presence would be necessary which is a very rational though according to me.
Then one of my close friends who know my feelings towards her told me her loved and her and loved her since childhood her to
Now usually i would not get angry at this fact because its okay to like someone but this guy he was a goddamn playboy he was on girls like makeup an he was goodlooking was very talented in dance and all that stuff that attracts girls but was not a great person so now there was a silent war between us but that a story for another day too
After a long struggle i won his truth was out and she told him no . Before you say this guy actually loved her He had another girl within three days of her telling him she was not interested. This was the same guy who swore promises of love and that if it was not her it was no one else. I ll explain that in detail some other time.
Now its just me and her again and i actually see a future there was hope for me in her words .
One day i was invited to friends' party this was a very quiet affair not a lot of music just conversations.
I walk in being the badass i am and I noticed a familiar face a very familiar face my heart dropped but then jumped so hard I would have given jesse owens a run for his money. It was her in the flesh and it was a surprise visit and now I will tell you something I usually do not waste opportunities so I turned on my charm behaved in the same way i was during calls (I actually was that way) and was myself We had a fun time. I wanted to talk to her alone and we did it was a lovely conversation it was then i decided it was her or no one. Man no had played with my heartstrings the way she did it was just bliss so everything was done I showed her my real life self.She just as a friend held my hand and to be honest that was the best feeling i ever had. My friends doubted that i was actually in a relationship with her it was so good .This created another drama which was that we were in a relationship and lied to the friends which was not true.
Again the phone calls started and the routine began
Here comes the sad part
I had planned to start studying for a very tough competitive exam (trust me the SAT is child's play compared to that ) because the best college it provided was in the same city as she was in so i joined a coaching institute told her that now the talks would not be so frequent cause almost every evening i would not be there. So i started to prepare my ass off ass off means ass off. Slowly we spent lesser and lesser time together only texting but that too not a lot. There were no calls for almost 5 months and recently we spoke again she tells me she likes this other guy, for the few months they were in an untagged or unnamed relationship and i asked her was it special she said it was and the day we spoke was their relationship day it was over because that guy was preparing for the SAT. So the last few months with him were not that magical as the earlier ones were and as it is he was leaving the country and they could not pursue her relationship countries far.
Now i am one those guys i did not scream i did not cry and i will not cry.
I had made a promise to myself I will wait for her answer till the ends of time but if the answer is no i shall not try to pursue a romantic relationship with her anymore and no one else either.
I cant say how i am feeling now but it is similar to how felt earlier like a void .I will be friends with her I will still love her(Cant just remove love just like that ) but i dont i want her anymore she is beautiful talented and lovely person and she will get someone else as for me I was alone one before can be alone now too . Its okay she liked someone else sometimes you dont get your fairy tale but atleast you tried i know maybe i am at fault but hopefully i will be fine now .
I have a driveway and a garden where i would roam around and speak to her on the phone last evening i did that again as the symbol of the final nail in the coffin of my hope just with the difference that it was a song in my ears not her voice
I let her go now
TLDR: Dumb guy falls in love with a girl he cant have and is now on the internet writing his story

2023.06.03 13:25 Juan_OkRock Beyond the spider-verse and the MCU

Having just finished watching spider-man: across the spider-verse, I feel as if there are deliberate parallels between the marvel comics Secret Wars storyline from 2015 and how the current MCU story and spider-verse trilogy are unfolding. These parallels seem to indicate that one particular character will be joining the MCU with absolute certainty, just not how many people may be thinking him to. This post will contain spoilers for across the spider-verse.
First and foremost, context for those that may be unaware. Some paraphrasing is involved but these are the general ideas that are necessary to follow along. Marvel comic's 2015 Secret Wars was a cross promotional storyline devised to reset the then comics Canon. The idea from publishing was to take all of the ongoing stories, mainline and alternate realities, keep what was working and scrap what wasn't.
In the story, the main continuity, which is known as the 616 universe, becomes aware of an ongoing phenomenon that is occurring known as incursions. An incursion is two separate realities colliding with one another, if nothing is done both realities will destroy one another as reality unravels in on themselves. The 616 heros find ways to keep their reality going when a couple separate realities present themselves, this all comes to a head when they are faced with the Ultimate universe. The ultimate universe, designated 1610, is home to many familiar faces but most importantly it's the home of Spider-man Miles Morales. Now, in this universe, Miles took over the duties of Spider-man when his version of Peter Parker is killed. And as these two realities are faced with imminent destruction, two factions of heroes from each earth decide that they are done with the fighting and board multidimensional space ships that will take them into whats next. The world's get destroyed, the heroes find themselves in a new land thats under Dr Dooms control and they begin their next steps towards fixing reality. One of the heroes that makes it is 1610 Miles morales. Eventually, in this battle world, Mr. Fantastic and company are able to usurp Dr. Doom and end up creating the current continuity of Marvel comics that exists. This current continuity which includes the alternate reality 1610 miles morales, which because of cosmic tampering is now Canon to the main 616 universe.
So thats all good and dandy, but what does it have to do with the movies? I believe that specific numbering and events we've seen in films have set the stage and are alluding to the fact that things are playing out very similar to that 2015 storyline.
In Spider-man homecoming, we are all introduced to the character of Aaron Davis in a small, fairly short scene. Aaron Davis is the uncle of miles, in fact he specifically mentions that he has a nephew in that scene. Heavily implying its miles and telling fans that miles is definitely going to be in the MCU in time. Marvel studios introduced the idea of miles joining the MCU with this scenes, all that remains is the how. Sure, they could go for a more traditional route but I don't think they are.
In Dr strange, multiverse of madness, the MCU gets, arguably, the most important exposure to the multiverse. For the purposes of this theory, most of the events in that movie don't have any relevance. The important take away is when Dr strange finds himself in an alternate reality, in that reality, he comes face to face with Christine who tells him he's in reality 838. She then elects to tell him that his reality is 616, in otherwords the MCU is reality 616. They both need to tread carefully however, since a series of devastating reality shattering events have been going on. Events known as incursions.
The parallels should hopefully be showing themselves but there's a little bit more so if you would, please follow along a bit more.
Okay, Into the spider-verse, the 2018 film that is incredible. What does it have to do with this. In that movie, we follow Miles Morales who becomes spiderman after he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and witnesses Peter Parker spiderman die by the hands of the kingpin. The kingpin creates a collider that accidentally brings in alternate reality spider-men to miles universe. His universe which is known as reality 1610. The story is of him coming into his own and accepting the role of spiderman and what comes with it, he saves the day and is able to get the other spiders home. Along the process, he destroys that very same collude that was used to bring people in.
So, from here on out there are going to be spoilers for across the spider-verse. If you haven't seen it, tread with caution.
Across the spider-verse, it's been 1 year and some months since the collider. Miles has learned a lot and has become more capable as spiderman. Early on in the movie he ends up fighting The Spot, a villain who can use black portals to move around space. While the two are fighting, we find out that The Spot is actually a scientist who was at the collider when miles blew it up. Miles is the reason The Spot exists and The Spot detests Miles for it. Miles seemingly defeats him but this leads to the spot realizing he can travel the multiverse. Gwen from the previous movie shows up to miles universe, as she has joined a spider society that works towards fixing mulitversal anomalies, in pursuance of the spot. Realizing the spots no longer there, she leaves and miles follows her, taking him on a journey across the spider-verse. On this journey, he sees that tampering with other realities, or having different realities interacting with each other, cause a reaction that destroys them. Much like the incursions of the MCU.
So, an MCU thats 616. A version of miles morales thats from 1610 with two incredible movies and one more on the way. Incursions happening across movie universes and movie franchises that represent comics from 2015. The MCU is the 2015 marvel mainline comics, the spider-verse is akin to the ultimate universe, and what does the MCU have on the horizon. An MCU movie called secret wars that many believe will consolidate the movie landscape and usher in a new era. The promise of Miles has been hanging for a few years and what better time to deliver than when Miles is at his peak popularity.
The next installment in the spider-verse is said to conclude this chapter of miles story. It's meant to bring him into a new fray. What could be better than introducing him to a new landscape with familiar heroes. His next movie is going to be "Beyond the spider-verse". Whats more beyond a spider-verse than a Marvel cinematic universe?
If you've made it this far, thanks a lot for reading along. I hope you enjoyed and its all in good fun anyway. Have a good one.

2023.06.03 13:17 nav2468 Looking to upgrade my Optoma HD146X to a 4K Projector

Hi I am looking to upgrade my HD146X projector, I believe HD146X is one of the best bang for your buck 1080p projectors so looking for the equivalent in a 4K version. The main reason I want to upgrade is for a sharper image. I did notice a bit of rainbow (RBE) on HD146x but it wasn't that bad. I would say my budget is about $2000 but would rather spend a bit less if it's better value. I believe the 3 chip design is better to eliminate rainbow but I'm guessing there must be downsides to those projectors? I also want a projector with similar throw ratio: 1.47-1.62. I watch my projector in a pitch black room so lumens shouldn't really matter. Don't care about 3D support and not too bothered about HDR support, I would rather prefer picture sharpness over HDR. If I have left any information out that I should have included let me know, thanks in advance!

Generate high contrast background to design itself to remove the background later
Hi there, I'm looking to create more bright background so that it's easy to remove it in any image editor software. But it looks like the nature of Leonardo is generating dark backgrounds, and I don't know how to overcome this.
Also most of times the generated image doesn't have perfect sunset, a lot of times you see a part of the sunset is missing.
I will list examples, maybe someone could help me on what I'm doing wrong.
This example generated light grey background but with the sunset is not perfect rounded.

Although I did specify white background and in negative prompt dark background, but still generating dark background, and this happens most of time.

Defense attorneys completed their closing arguments, labeling the Arvizo family liars and con artists trying to pull “the biggest con of their careers”.
"They are trying to take advantage of Michael Jackson," said impassioned defense attorney Thomas Mesereau. "They are trying to profit from Michael Jackson. They think they have pulled it off. They are just waiting for one thing - your verdict."
"What they are trying to do to Michael Jackson is so harmful, so brutal, so devastating if you have any reasonable doubt about the double-talk, the lies, its over. You must acquit Michael Jackson," he told the 12 jurors.
Mesereau spoke about the American system of justice and said, "We have the best system in the world and ladies and gentlemen I'm begging you to honor the system. You must acquit him."
He accused prosecutors of trying to "dirty up Michael" because they lack the evidence to prove their case.
"The witnesses are preposterous, the perjury is everywhere," Mesereau declared. "None of it works. The only thing they've had is to throw dirt all over the place and hope it sticks."
He added: "If you look in your hearts do you believe Michael Jackson is evil in that way? Is it even possible? It really is not."
Mesereau then played excerpts from a video in which Jackson denies any sexual impropriety and said that he had “never been betrayed or deceived by children.”
The defense attorney conceded that Jackson had been lax with his money and had let the wrong people into his circle. But, he said, the singer was not the “monster” the prosecution were trying to depict and that he was not guilty of any crime.
Afterwards, prosecutor Ron Zonen delivered a brief rebuttal. He sought to answer the question of Jackson’s motivation for the crime asking, "Why would Mr. Jackson do it? Because he could This child was in love with him. This child would do anything he said."
Zonen reminded jurors of the past allegations made against Jackson saying that this was necessary in order to “see the total picture”. He claimed that Jackson was “in love” with his 1993 accuser and added that the current accuser is a “clone” of the boy in that case.
After both sides rested for the last time, Judge Rodney Melville ordered the eight women and four men on the jury to begin their deliberations. He gave them a 98-page book of instructions.
The Judge told Jackson that he could stay at Neverland during the proceedings but requested that the attorneys remain within 10 minutes of the courthouse in case the jurors had any questions.
These deliberations are the final stage of an ordeal that began 14 weeks ago. During this time the jury has heard testimony from over 130 witnesses.
A verdict was expected early next week.

2013 - Jackson v AEG Trial Day 22
No Jackson family member was at the courthouse.
Paul Gongaware
AEG cross
Putnam asked Gongaware if MJ was comfortable with all the show dates. "Yes, I went through all of the dates with him," Gongaware said. Bugzee, the tour manager, had a big calendar on the walls, Gongaware explained, saying they changed the dates of the shows four times. The jury was shown an email in which Gongaware worked with a staffer to create a calendar to show Jackson. He wanted colors changed. He wanted the calendar to be changed so that it reflected Jackson's show dates and off days differently. Gongaware email:
Figure it out so it looks like he's not working so much
As to the email, Putnam asked if he was trying to fool Michael:
"No, I was trying to make it clear, trying to get it just the way I wanted it," Gongaware responded.
After changing 4 show dates Gongaware said Michael was comfortable with it. He would do 8 shows in July, 10 in August, 9 in September. There would be no shows in October, November and December, resuming with 10 shows in January, 10 in February and three in March. No back-to-back shows. Gongaware said the O2 Arena had a previous commitment in Oct-Dec of 2009 and they could not have the concerts.
​
Putnam: "Was this a rigorous schedule?"
Gongaware: "No, not at all"
Gongaware recalled that on the HIStory tour they did 10-12 shows per month, from country to country, but this one would stay in London only. Gongaware said he wasn't concerned with Michael's age. "He seemed great to me," he said, and this was stationary show, didn't have to travel.
Gongaware:
The reason Michael wanted to delay the 1st show was he wanted more time to rehearse in the O2 Arena where the show would take place.
He said Michael and Kenny Ortega would decide the rehearsal schedule. Gongaware explained Michael didn't have to attend rehearsals, since it was not part of his deal. He said they never require an artist to rehearse. "I didn't have any expectation," Gongaware said regarding Michael rehearsing. He said he's never seen a requirement for a musicial artist to rehearse & that during the HIStory tour, Michael didn't rehearse but nailed it. "When it was game time, he would show up," Gongaware explained. For instance, Gongaware cited an outdoor concert in Bangkok in high heat, humidity.
As to the email Gongaware wrote about calling Michael lazy, he said he used unfortunate choices of words, Michael didn't like to rehearse.
Talking about the elements of the show, Gongaware described what they wanted to do for the opening of the show. He said Michael would be dressed up in a LED suit, like a television, flashing on him brief movie about things that happened in history. Michael would be lowered down onto the stage. He called the LED suit a "Moon man" suit, but Ortega called it "Light man." Putnam showed a presentation of how the LED suit idea would work. Footage is not on This Is It documentary because it was early stages of prep. Gongaware said the 1st idea was to make Michael float from the audience, but they couldn't make it work. So they decided to lower him down onto the stage. Gongaware said the big screen on the back of the stage was 3D capable. The audience would be given glasses when they entered the show. The 3D songs would be Thriller, Earth Song and Smooth Criminal. "He wanted to do biggest, best show ever, live show," Gongaware said
Putnam showed email chain from Ortega to Gongaware asking to make a deal with choreographer Travis Payne. Answer from Gongaware:
This is not AEG money, it's Michael's money so it takes a lot of time to get approvals
Defendants were trying to establish a pattern that all the money spent was actually Michael's money, not AEG's, just like with Dr. Murray
At one point Gongaware said he learned from Michael about a doctor named Murray. "He came to me and said he wanted his personal doctor on the tour". Gongaware said he suggested to Michael to get a licensed doctor in London who would know the lay of the land, in case of need. "This is the machine, we have to take care of the machine. I want Conrad," Gongaware said Michael responded. I think what he meant was his brain could create it but his body had to deliver the show every night
​
Putnam: "Were you surprised he wanted to take his doctor on tour?"
Gongaware: "No"
Putnam: "Why not?"
Gongaware: "He had doctors before"
Gongaware said other artists take doctors as well, so he was not the only one and it didn't surprise him. Gongaware said he's been on tour before where an artist had chiropractors, but couldn't remember being in one with a doctor
Putnam: "Did you worry Michael might have a health issue?"
Gongaware: "No"
Putnam: "Why not?"
Gongaware: "He seemed fine to me, had a physical and passed"
Gongaware said the suggestion for a London doctor was due to the cost; paying a doctor full time was much more expensive than hiring a local doctor. Gongaware said Dr. Murray treated Michael for about three years before 2009. He knew the doctor was from Las Vegas but said he was in LA. Gongaware said he then called Dr. Murray to work out a deal. Gongaware testified he didn't have Michael's direct phone number, would go through Michael Amir Williams, his personal assistant, to reach him. Gongaware called Murray on behalf of Michael saying the singer wanted to take him to London. "What do you want to be paid for that," Gongaware asked. Gongaware said he thought Dr. Murray was expecting his call and was aware of the desire to take him on tour. "He said he would need $5 million," Gongaware recalled. "He said he has 4 clinics to close, would lay off people, needs $5 million for that." Asked by Putnam if Murray's price was reasonable: "It was ridiculous," Gongaware said about the amount asked. "It was a lot of money for something like that and Michael could not afford it." Gongaware said he responded that it wasn't going to work" He said this was the first time he spoke with Dr. Murray. After that, Gongaware said he told Michael Amir and Randy Phillips what the doctor had asked. He also told Frank DiLeo. Gongaware said a lot of people who wanted to work for MJ asked for huge sums of money, thinking he had a lot.
Putnam: "Would you be doing this if Michael had not asked you?"
Gongaware: "No"
Putnam: "Did you contemplate bringing a doctor on tour?"
Gongaware: "I didn't think he needed one, we didn't have one in History, he was fine"
"He was Michael's doctor, Michael wanted him. That was it," Gongaware said.
​
Putnam:" Did you think about checking the doctor?"
Gongaware: "No"
Putnam: "Why not?"
Gongaware: "He was Michael's doctor"
" I'm not going to tell Michael Jackson who his doctor should be," Gongaware explained. "It wasn't my place to say who his doctor was going to be," Gongaware said. "It was his decision."
Gongaware said he doesn't think a doctor's financial situation has anything to do with being an ethical doctor. Gongaware said it never crossed his mind to either do a background check on Dr. Murray or to suggest to anyone to do it. "I just expect doctors to be ethical, the financial side of their lives shouldn't have an impact on their medical decision," Gongaware opined.
Gongaware said he never did a background check on anyone he hired and had he done one on Dr. Murray, it would've been out of the ordinary.
He also said he never considered performing background checks on Jackson's makeup artist, a choreographer who worked one-on-one with the singer or Kenny Ortega, the tour's director. "I didn't see the need for it," he said.
Dr. Finkelstein, a friend of Gongaware, said a doctor should charge $10,000 a month for the tour work. But Dr. Finkelstein would've done it for free, since he was on the Dangerous tour before and had a lot of fun
The second call about Dr. Murray came from Michael Amir Williams saying they were going to need to get a deal done for the doctor. Gongaware said he heard Michael in the car saying "offer 150, offer 150." Gongaware understood that to be $150k/month. Gongaware called Dr. Murray, said he was authorized to offer him $150k a month. He said Dr. Murray responded that he couldn't do it for that. Gongaware told him the offer came directly from the artist and Dr. Murray responded: "I'll take it" Gongaware said Michael approved the amount of compensation. "Michael told me offer 150," Gongaware recalled. "And that's what I did." Gongaware inquired from Dr. Murray how he would get a license in London and the doctor told him not to worry about it. They talked about Dr. Murray's request for a house in London, and the doctor said he would need a three bedroom house. Gongaware recalled Dr. Murray saying he would probably need an assistant and some equipment, but no details were given at this point. After the call, Gongaware said he let Michael Amir Williams know what the result was in a May 6th email: Done at 150k per month, per MJ. He needs about 10 days to wind down his practice then he will be full time
Asked why he had negotiated with Murray, the AEG executive replied that he was "instructed to by Michael Jackson." Gongaware said there was no other reason for him to deal with the doctor. Marvin Putnam asked Gongaware why he didn't tell Jackson he couldn't take Murray on tour with him."Because he could if he wanted," Gongaware said.
Gongaware said he passed Dr. Murray on to Timm Wooley, never had any other conversation with Dr. Murray about him possibly going to London.
Putnam: "Do you have any understanding as to whether a contract with Dr. Murray was executed?"
Gongaware: "One never was"
Putnam: "Did AEG pay Dr. Murray any kind of money?"
Gongaware: "No"
Gongaware said Michael was ultimately responsible for his own health:
"I think everyone is responsible for their own health and well being. He was a grown man with the capability to make decisions regarding his health and medical care"
Putnam showed Gongaware a frame from the This Is It film in which Jackson's manager, Frank Dileo, was sitting in on dancer auditions. Dancers auditions took place at the Nokia Theater on April 13, 14 & 15. Michael attended the last day and made the final decision, Gongaware said. He said Ortega wanted to film the audition to use fresh footage on michaeljacksonlive.com. The cost for crew to shoot the audition was very high, so Gongaware bought a couple of cameras and used his own crew to shoot the rehearsals. He said he wasn't sure what he would use the video for, but thought the website would be a good platform.
Gongaware said during the period at Center Staging, Michael was good, engaging, didn't think there were any health issues or was using drugs
Gongaware said the media in the UK was going wild with gossip about Michael Jackson. "They just lie about things." The Sun claimed Michael had skin cancer on his chest. "It was sport over in London," Gongaware said about stories on tabloids. Gongaware testified about emails in which UK press agents working on This Is It sent him tabloid reports on Michael's health. Gongaware said he urged the press agents not to respond. He wanted Jackson's performance to speak for itself & silence skeptics.
Gongaware on 5/27/09:
The Kid is healthy and rehearsing every day. He was still there at dance rehearsals at 9pm last night when I left. Our redemption will be when he does his shows, that makes all of this build up so damn sweet. We don't have to sell tickets, so we can just sit back and prove them wrong by just doing it.
Gongaware said he was not concerned
"If there was something going on, if he had cancer, we would've heard about it."
Michael Jackson rehearsal venues:
  • Mar 28- Center Staging
  • May 27- Forum June 23 - Staples Center
  • July 13 - O2 Arena
Putnam also asked Gongaware about an incident Karen Faye testified about, that she heard him yelling at Michael's assistant one day. The incident occurred while This Is It rehearsals were happening at The Forum in LA. Faye claimed she heard Gongaware yelling about Jackson being late to a rehearsal and told his assistant to get him there. "Never, never happened," Gongaware said, shaking his head.
Putnam went through a chain of emails about tabloid reports in the UK regarding Michael. In one, it said Michael had asked AEG to reduce the number of shows by half. Gongaware said that such a discussion never happened. Gongaware testified he woke up to one gossip headline pretty much every day. His idea was simply to ignore the tabloids. "An amazing show would be the answer", Gongaware said
Gongaware on 6/5/09 in response to Sunday Mirror Query:
"We can only make this work, of course, if MJ puts on the best show of his life. I'm here to tell you that be will. I have seen it for myself. Last night he ran 9 songs with full band, singers and dancers. Sang every one, he was amazing, captivating, riveting. And he's just getting started. Taking it one step further. When people realize that bulls**t the press has been, they will be in receptive mood for the truth Hey look. No skin cancer. He's just a good dad, loving raising his kids. His art and his craft are paramount. A gentle, loving man who does care about people
"The shows were going to be spectacular," Gongaware said. Putnam showed a clip of Michael in front of a green screen with 11 dancers, who would become 11,000. Gongaware said Michael was great at this point
Regarding email Phillips sent Gongaware directing to remove Michael's "skeletal" scenes Gongaware said he didn't take anything out of the movie.
Putnam: "Did you remove anything from the movie?"
Gongaware: "No"
Putnam showed a clip from This Is It with the making of "Thriller 3D" and Jackson wearing red jacket.
Putnam: "Did you try to alter in anyway how Mr. Jackson looked, appeared?"
Gongaware: "No"
Gongaware said he didn't remember any of the footage been removed because of how Michael looked. "We just let the footage speak for itself"
The mini-movie of "Earth Song" a bulldozer would come out from a ramp in center stage.
Putnam: "A real bulldozer?"
Gongaware: "I wish, it would've been cheaper, but it would have crushed our ramps"
Gongaware said they had to build the bulldozer like a prop. It would appear at the end of the song on stage. "I think the live audience would be just captivated by it," Gongaware said about the little girl running after the last plant on Earth song.
End of the show would be 3D animation. An airplane taxis up, door opens, Michael entered the plane. The airplane door closes, Michael would actually take an elevator down and out of the building, but the plane would take off over the audience
Gongaware said he didn't know if anyone was responsible for Michael's nourishment. Tour would be demanding and exhausting
Gongaware said he met Dr. Murray once at MJ's Carolwood house and ran into him at The Forum during rehearsal. There was a meeting scheduled to discuss Michael's nutrition with Randy Phillips, Kenny Ortega, Dr. Murray, Michael, Gongaware and DiLeo.
Putnam: "Do you recall anyone in that meeting ever telling Dr. Murray how he should be treating Michael?"
Gongaware: "No"
Gongaware said he didn't have any medical training and wasn't qualified to tell Conrad Murray how to treat Jackson
Gongaware said neither Dr. Murray nor Michael talked about the treatment he was receiving. The meeting was about nutrition & vitamin therapy. Gongaware said he had no idea Dr. Murray was giving Michael Propofol and first heard of the anesthetic after Michael died. Gongaware said Dr. Murray was really engaged in the meeting, seemed like a very intelligent guy and wanted to take care of Michael very much. This was the first time Gongaware met with Dr. Murray. He said there were no signs of Michael being poorly treated by the doctor. "Michael was engaged in the meeting, attentive, seemed happy we were having this meeting," Gongaware opined. "He's a doctor, he'd know better than anybody how to treat his patient," Gongaware said about Dr. Murray.
As to Gongaware's email saying AEG, not Michael, paid Dr Murray he said he was mistaken. "We wouldn't pay his salary, we'd advance Michael's money". Gongaware said he didn't remember writing/receiving the email, but never denied he did it.
As to Michael being habitually late, Gongaware said the singer worked on his own schedule, did things his way
Gongaware said his understanding was that Michael hired a trainer of his choice, Louis (Lou) Ferrigno: "I made the deal with him (Ferrigno). He was supposed to be paid a certain amount of money per session" He didn't elaborate on fee, how many times he worked with Michael. Putnam showed an email from Travis Payne, he suggested a massage chair to be put in Michael's dressing room.
As to Bugzee's email saying MJ needed cheeseburgers, brats and beers, Gongaware said Bugzee was joking, Bugzee cared very much for Michael. Gongaware testified he didn't recall having any concern about Michael's health/using painkillers as of Monday 6/15/09, 10 days prior to his death
Gongaware was asked about several emails that have been shown before, including messages related to MJ missing rehearsal on June 19, 2009. The executive was on the East Coast for a family wedding, but responded to one message questioning why Murray wasn't at rehearsal. Gongaware email:
Take the doctor with you. Why wasn't he there last night?
He then explained his thinking to the jury. Gongaware:
If his patient is having a problem and he's sick, and he's his only patient, it seemed like he should be there
Gongaware said on 6/19/09, he was out of town. "This is the day Michael had chills at rehearsal and was apparently sick," Gongaware recalled. "If the meeting was going to be about what happened that night, the doctor should be there," Gongaware said.
Gongaware said he believed Michael wanted to go on tour. He said he doesn't remember anyone talking about pulling the plug on the shows.
Putnam: "Did anyone tell you at this point that Michael needed a drug addiction specialist?"
Gongaware: "No"
Putnam: "Did anyone tell you they were concerned with the care Dr. Murray was giving to Michael?"
Gongaware: "No"
Gongaware said that on 6/20/09 he did not think Michael's health was deteriorating.
With last questions of the day, Putnam asked Gongaware if he was concerned about Jackson's well-being. He said "Yes"

2023.06.03 12:52 Mysterious_Bath P.U.R.E Booking - Booking Ilja Dragunov on the Main Roster - Part 3

Following the events of Elimination Chamber, Dragunov looks persistent on training for his big match against his leader at Wrestlemania for the coveted IC Championship. Following Dragunov's victory, Gunther gets a bit nervous due to Dragunov being one of two people to beat him in WWE. He tries to combat this by ensuring Dragunov isn't able to have matches but he is unsuccessful in doing this. Instead, he forces Dragunov to endure a Open Challenge Gauntlet Match to prove that he is a worthy challenger. Gunther also puts Dragunov's IC Championship opportunity on the line to give him that extra security leading to Wrestlemania. This forced stipulation does not bode well with Dragunov but he still goes ahead with this added torture because HE'S ILJA FUCKING DRAGUNOV!!
With Gunther observing from the outside, Dragunov stands in the ring, awaiting his first opponent who turns out to be Angel Garza. Garza is toyed about with for a few minutes before Dragunov hits him with the Torpedo Moscow to dispatch of the first competitor. Next to come out is Ashante Adonis, much to Gunther's displeasure. Dragunov makes Adonis his bitch, sending him back to catering with the Torpedo Moscow. This continues to happen as more and more jobbers come out just to be smacked out by Dragunov. This leads to Gunther just stopping the match and telling Dragunov he's proved nothing here, so instead, he'll have a 2v1 handicap match next week against Vinci and Kaiser.
The numbers disadvantage does take a toll on Dragunov heading into the start of the bout but he manages to recuperate and take on both men at once. Dragunov eventually lays his stablemates out, ending the match by choking the life out of Vinci with the same submission he beat Gunther with, all while staring a whole through Gunther who for the first time in his career looks to be at unease. As Gunther enters the ring, he and Dragunov butt heads as Dragunov asks him if thats enough, before exiting the ring.
Next week, Imperium bring Dragunov out as it appears Gunther has finally decided Dragunov is worthy challenger, but reveals he has one challenge left. Out of nowhere, Kaiser and Vinci jump Dragunov as Gunther looks down on him, calling him pathetic and saying he'll never be worthy to be a challenger for his title. Gunther then pushes his stablemates away, taking matters into his own hands as he starts choking out Dragunov. Dragunov eventually fades as Gunther hits him with the Last Symphony. Gunther doesn't think this is enough however, and calls for the steel steps in the ring. Kaiser brings them in the ring as Gunther picks Dragunov up on his shoulders and POWERBOMBS HIM ON THE STEPS!! Vinci and Kaiser drag Dragunov's lifeless body out of the ring as they begin tearing the announce table apart. Gunther joins them and puts the final nail in the coffin, POWERBOMBING HIM THROUGH THE TABLE!! Imperium begins backing away, looking proud at the carnage they've produced as Dragunov is stretchered out of the arena.
As the weeks close in, the chances of Dragunov getting his title match look slimmer and slimmer. That is until two weeks before Wrestlemania, during a Tag Team title match between Imperium and Alpha Academy, DRAGUNOV MADE HIS RETURN!!! He comes down to the ring as Vinci and Kaiser look in disbelief. Alpha Academy would begin distracting the referee as the champions come down to attack Dragunov, who lays out both of them. Dragunov would go on to hit Kaiser with a Torpedo Moscow before rolling him back in the ring, allowing Alpha Academy to steal the titles as Dragunov manages to rectify the first of his mistakes in Imperium.
The second mistake? Sticking by Gunther's side. On the RAW before Wrestlemania, Gunther and Dragunov come face to face on last time, and despite Gunther's best efforts over the past month and a bit, he still has to come face to face with his worst nightmare. Imperium walk out with him, clearly fucking pissed after last week's shenanigans but Gunther sends them to the back, insisting he wants to face his biggest demon on his own. Gunther tries getting into Dragunov's head, telling him he respects him after everything he's endured and understands why , but it doesn't work as Dragunov looks to get revenge, attacking Gunther as a form of revenge for last week. He hits him with a Torpedo Moscow as he vows to end Gunther's tyrancy over RAW.
Wrestlemania XL:
This is it. His big shot. Will Dragunov end Gunther's reign of terror, or will the tyrant reign supreme? Things don't look well for Dragunov in the beginning as he is manhandled by Gunther but after an unexpected slip-up from Gunther which Dragunov capitalises upon, he finds himself in the driver's seat, even hitting Gunther with a Torpedo Moscow but only getting a 2 count. Gunther would respond to this with his vicious chops before hitting that Powerbomb which gets a 2 as well. Gunther continues his assault, not letting Dragunov get a touch of offence in with the fear slipping through the cracks. This fear would turn into desperation as Gunther would hit a trifecta of Powerbombs for A 1 COUNT???!! Dragunov would come back to his feet right after this, clearly fired up as he knocks Gunther's head off with a brutal Lariat. This isn't enough as he hits the Torpedo Moscow as the reign looks set to be over BUT GUNTHER KICKS OUT AGAIN!! Dragunov then goes to the move which helped him beat Gunther 3 years prior, but Gunther scouts it and escapes before HITTING A BURNING LARIAT AND THE FINAL SYMPHONY!! 1..2..KICKOUT!!! DRAGUNOV IS NOT HUMAN!! Gunther's desperation picks up as he goes to the final resort, the Gojira Clutch. Dragunov evades it though and OUT OF NOWHERE HITS A TORPEDO MOSCOW!! He goes to the corner and signals for another, WHICH HE HITS!!! 1..2..3!! GUNTHER'S 667 DAY REIGN IS OVER!!!

2023.06.03 12:43 thetrimdj D4 HDR pointers need

Hi all,
I like many have been experiencing issues with the HDR implementation in D4 that I just can’t seem to get around.
While brightness isn’t an issue I just can’t get decent black levels. There’s just an overall haze to the game and areas that should be shrouded in darkness just, aren’t regardless of how low I bring the in game brightness to. Having seen videos from others I realize that no matter how much fiddling I do, I just can’t get the same sense of darkness/black levels they are.
I even went to far as to bring the game back into SDR and it looks quite a lot better and it feels more appropriate for this game to play with the darker look, but I miss the searing highlights and sense of depth that HDR brings.
I’ve looked around and can’t find anything definitive. I do realize I could have my calibration in windows off but I’m pretty certain I’ve got that nailed down. Any tips?
Current setup: Windows 11 GeForce 3080 AW3423DWF (Peak 1000/Contrast @75) Black levels .0001 Brightness 175 White levels/peak brightness 1050

2023.06.03 12:29 RockEnough634 My Italian War Hero

Being with him was a dream He was my italian war hero I was his demure, european poetess We held hands in the back of black and white movies
He commented at the lead’s pinned curls and pale white cheeks, pointing to my own
He set the framework for my identity And I obliged, filling out the rest
And when I left him, I made sure to cut my hair short Dye it a midnight black
I flipped around in my flapper dress, Ignored him at a wedding He was in so much pain he lamented to my father, and cried
My cruel heart welled And on my own wedding day, twas but an ode to him.
Pin curls, tucked behind an ornate diamond hair piece
A large art deco cake
Who’d have thought I’d design my entire life out of avenging a broken heart?

2023.06.03 12:24 UseFriendly4996 Gel polish is not attaching to the nail

I have been doing nails for 3 years now, however I got a client and her thumb nail is coming off everytime. I was hoping some of you could help me since I don’t know what to do
All the nails are fine and there is no lifting under the gel, however after 3-5 days after putting a nail on the thumb it just lifts off. It has happened a few times now and it just keeps popping off. I will wait now with placing a new nail until I know what the cause is
It does no damage to the natural nail since the gel has somehow not attached propperly. The tip for a extension is also still glued to the natural nail. Like I said all the other nails have no lifting and stay for 3-4 weeks
My uv/led lamp is not broken, I have 40 other clients and nobody has this problem. I make sure the thumb gets enough light in the uv/led lamp, so it is cured properly.
I dyhydrate the nails and use a base coat. Then I apply the gel polish (she has a french nail design)
After the nail would not attach I tried to apply a few coats extra so that the nail would be stronger. (She has short natural nails) but this did not help
Does anyone know what can cause this? And had maybe tips so the nail will stick?

2023.06.03 12:20 2seokdeeznuts13 Two Kakampinks walked into a café

Two Kakampinks walked into a café.
This was after they lost the elections, and they've recovered na from the hard-hitting reality. Mga one year later na 'to.
They were in 12th grade senior high when they chanted along with the pink crusade, now they're both in their first year of college. The first is taking up a course on secondary education, major in English; the second, business administration. Well, dahil unti-unti na silang nagiging busy sa kanya-kanya nilang buhay, minsan na lang sila magkita. That's why these two friends, when they found the time, arranged this date.
The café was a typical modern café. It was one of those minimalist-styled establishments na may maliit na blackboard sa labas with cute chalk doodles to highlight its business hours. The interiors were adorned with overhanging indoor plants. The wooden tables varnished to golden-brown shine. The walls were an of an aesthetic black, designed with white huge calligraphy of optimistic cliches nabbed online. The entire place had a yellow lighting, setting up the ambience, making the entire place worthy to be posted on Instagram.
Waiting naman the tables, is an apron-clad guy with a deep dimple and a bulging Adam's apple, who was handsome enough to be romanticized.
But the two Kakampinks didn't care for him, as they are in love to each of their boyfriend. That's characteristic of women. When they're in love with a guy, the other guys get ignored, no matter how handsome they are.
Anyway, there they were. Sitting side-by-side. In an intimate table for two, catching up with each other's lives, that is, chatting about that funny professor they've had, that campus event in their respective university, that latest episode of that Netflix show they watch, that one fond memory they keep recalling. There was noise, there was glee, there was laughter, there was whispering, and of course, as this was in a café nga, there was eating. Particularly the eating of a creamy carbonara; and of a mushroom soup; and of a red velvet cake; and of a frappe; and of other dishes and beverages and desserts that one has to take a picture of before eating it.
Well, the hours passed and the skies got darker. Without alcohol, they began to get drunk—drunk from the intimacy that only friendship can give. From the honesty that this drunkenness has granted them, things then began to get political, as one said to the other:
"I don't know if you feel it too pero I cringe about being a Kakampink."
This remark came from a train of thought that began with their discussion of the leftist initiatives they've heard in each of their campuses. To this, a reply:
"Oh my god, ikaw din?" with gleaming eyes, the other said. "I feel that too. Takot lang akong i-verbalize sa circle ko as that may be an unpopular opinion today. Ang binary na kasi ng lahat. Any anti-pink rhetoric can suddenly turn you into a pro-red apologist."
"Then, this is a good thing na we share the same sentiments. And I'm glad na it's with you, whom I can finally speak of this." she said, "you know, I keep seeing sa fb feed ko yung fb memories of the pink rallies. My friends keep resharing them ta's sasabihing the best era daw. Well, whenever I see shares like that, I feel this funny feeling of cringe. Primarily from my intellect."
"Same. Probably kasi, we used to belong in there?" she replied, "we used to be one of them, in that pink crusade."
"Probably."
"Pero, I guess, that's okay. A wise man once told me na cringing at your past self is one of the surest sign that you've progressed to maturity."
"I like that. Education through disillusionment." she said with an honest smile. And then, she asked: "well, what led you to your disillusionment?"
"I am not so sure." she said, "wala namang maling ginawa si Leni for me to stop supporting her—pero, i guess the disillusionment came from the closest Kakampink I know, namely my self."
"Yeah, what about your self?"
"I had this episode lang of being moved by the poverty of our people, while I was dining in an eat-all-you-can buffet," she said almost laughing at her self with cynicism, "The restaurant had glass walls, so kita mo yung labas, from the inside. Well, while I was eating nga, may madungis na batang pulubi na dumaan, holding his hand out to me, mouthing something at me. I know na nanghihingi siya ng limos. Pero, I just consciously ignored him, shoving a spoonful of rice na sinabawan ng kare-kare, straight in my mouth. After that epispde, I kept contemplating on the glass walls. Is that not what we're doing? Just the rich and the privileged looking through the glass wall that separates us from the hungry, while we eat and dine and have our fill?"
"You think we're one of the rich and the privileged?"
"Are we not? We think na mga pasistang pulitiko lang yung rich and privileged, yung may subdivision 'gaya ng mga Villar o yung may private jet 'gaya ng mga Marcos," she said, "pero, think about it: don't we belong there, too? As we enjoy all our iPhones Pro's? Our Aquaflask tumblers? Our eat-all-you-can buffets? Our boba teas?"
"Yes, I think we are," the other replied, "If that's how you would put it, we basically are."
"Well, yun," she explained, "I guess, that's the part that doesn't make sense to me. How can I claim to fight for the poor, join them in their plights, while at the same time, enjoy my self in such lavish comfort? I think that would be hypocrisy."
"I'm really glad we're having this conversation," she replied fondly. "cause what you said—it's so aligned with an idea that I've been thinking about since the pink era was over." she sipped from her milk tea, and then continued, "we both joined the rally 'di ba? And we both saw the people there. And we both saw na most of them had an iPhone. I was just thinking, in retrospect, na maybe, we're part of the oppression too?"
"What do you mean?"
"Where does the iPhone user get his prestige?"
"Well, as a user of one, I don't find my iPhone prestigious kasi I'm not that petty." she said, with a laughing pompousity. "pero i could honestly answer that, in behalf of those petty materialists. The prestige of the iPhone comes from the fact na mahal yun and not everyone could afford one."
"Exactly. And yung mga 'di maka-afford ng iPhone, will have to settle with an Android phone." the other remarked, "so the prestige of the iPhone users, is based on the poverty of the Android users. Now, you can apply that to any material object advertised as a social emblem of luxury. Gucci, Jordan shoes, Starbucks, even the Aquaflask tumbler. The prestige of having one, enjoying one, consuming one, is based on its expensiveness, on how Capitalism privileged it on a pedestal, and on the idea na not everyone could afford it."
"So the glory of the havings is based on the lacking of the having-not's"
"Wow, you've put that aptly in a nutshell." the other remarked excitedly, "and yes! That's about right. The reason why our ideas of luxury, prestige, and privilege exist is because of their lacking, their not having, and their poverty. We are rich because they are poor. That's why I posited na we may be part of their oppression, too."
"That indeed makes sense." the other replied, "that's probably why ide-Day ko ang Starbucks ko, kasi alam kong may maiinggit."
"Right." the other said, with a laughter, "You're getting the idea. Pero you're adding your own mean twist. But that's my point: we exist in a social pyramid of lower class, middle class, upper class, where each class is really stepping on the back of the one immediately lower to them to maintain the height they enjoy. Yung lower class yung pinaka-kawawa as two classes are above them. And in this case we're discussing, their oppression is through our idea of luxurious materialism and the prestige we attach to commodified objects."
"Kaya it won't make sense for us to say 'eat the rich' kasi that would mean we have to eat ourselves."
"Exactly." she said, "the pro-red apologist proud of his iPhone, is the same with the pro-pink proud of her iPhone. They're both from the same greed and gluttony, blinded by the same object fetishism espoused by Capitalism. That's why the Kakampink revolution is not really the revolution. It's a revolt against the dominant group of iPhone users, by just another group of iPhone users. A bourgeoisie revolution. And that does not change things, for as long as the same object fetishism exists, as long as the same ideals for luxury exists, as long as Capitalism's definition of what a self is exists—the true proletarian revolution will not happen. We simply replaced the rich with a new set of rich."
"Well, what should be done, then?"
"This may be corny, pero I'll say it anyway," she said, shyly, "what must be done is to follow what Christ said to the rich man: sell your possessions and give them to the poor."
"Yes," she remarked, in-between a laughter, "that is indeed corny."
"Yes," she agreed, and then explained: "pero i think it's the closest thing we have to achieve a truly equal, egalitarian paradise as this Christian advice encourages the complete abolition of self and private property by a complete and genuine charity to the entire community."
With a concerned look, the other then remarked, "And by that you mean, surrendering our iPhones, our Aquaflask tumblers, our eat-all-you-can buffets, our boba teas, our ideals of luxury, of vanity, of prestige— our spectacular self-images, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's too ideal." she said, scoffingly, "can you do that?"
"No, I can't," she admitted, with a secret despair, "maski ako, I can't give up those. I can't live without my iPhone, you know? Pero I guess, the important thing here is we have to be honest about that. Self-awareness is as important as social awareness. We have to see na not only are we inside Capitalism, but that Capitalism is also inside us. We are molded by the same greed, the same gluttony that shaped the fat, privileged capitalist we condemn." Then she adds: "kaya siguro i cringe at my past. i envisioned my naive activist-self as a holy hero in the pink crusade—that I was someone noble, fighting a just war. Pero, I can now see much clearer. I'm really just a noisy child with a silver spoon in her mouth, who knows nothing about poverty, and who happens to have read a thread on Twitter. A poser who could courageously scream 'eat the rich' but could not muster enough courage to 'feed the poor.' "
Emphatizing with the melancholia she just voiced out, the other replied, "That reminds me of a lyrics from a song: everybody wants to change the world, but nobody wants to die."
"Yeah, that's about it. That's so true," she said, realizing something. And then, she laughs it off, "grabe. we're on a different level of wokeness here."
"Kaya nga eh. Nagutom tuloy ako." the other assented, a change of mood then took place, "I'm craving for some Samgyup. May alam ka ba na nasa malapit lang?"
"Ay, meron. Walking distance lang from here," the other answered, "madalas kaming mag-date ng boyfriend ko do'n—tara, kain tayo."
They began to pack their things up, grabbing their shoulder bags, clutching their purses. As they walk out of the café, the bell chimes over the doorway signalled their departure. At this, the waiter then makes his move; he cleans up the mess they leave behind.
The two Kakampinks walking out of the café, will now head to that Samgyup resto, to eat and have their fill.

2023.06.03 12:15 Medafan53 If the Alternate Symbiote Suits are connected to the suit you are using, what suits should link to what symbiote varient?

We know that Peter has the symbiote in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, it is safe to assume that Peter and Miles will both have alternate suits, and it is a fair bet to assume that there will be alternate Symbiote suits as well.
The question is how it would be implemented. The way I see it it will work in one of two ways:
#1: Each suit will have a symbiote variant, so if you're wearing, for example the Classic suit, then your symbiote suit will be the classic black suit, if you are wearing the new advanced suit, it'll be insomniac's take on the suit, as seen in the demo and so on
#2: There will be two menus for suit selection with Peter; one for regular suits and one for symbiote suits, either with you unlocking each suit individually, or the suits are still linked and unlocking a regular suit unlocks it's symbiote counterpart, akin to how you unlocked the suit powers with a specific suit and could then switch over.
Now if either option 1 or 2B are chosen, obviously not every Spider Man suit has a symbiote variant, and for that matter, not every Symbiote suit has a regular spider man equivalent (or are all connected to the classic red and blue in the comics)
In this context, which possible symbiote suits that you want in the game, could be made counterparts for regular suits. For example, if the Spider Armor MRK3 (Ends of the Earth) suit returns, it's symbiote variant could be Agent Venom, because their designs have a similar underlying theme (armoured Spider-Man) to further elaborate I am not saying I would then want Agent Venom to be a recolour of the MRK 3, simply that, if using option 1 then Agent Venom would be the symbiote suit you use if you choose the MRK 3 as your base, or with option 2B Unlocking the MRK 3 would unlock the Agent Venom look.
For other suits that you want in the game, what suggestions do you have for base suit/symbiote suits pairings.

2023.06.03 11:56 nicknamenik Hardline Water Cooled 5.5L Build

Hardline Water Cooled 5.5L Build
https://i.imgur.com/bFXJZCy.jpg
Prelude: I've written the original build summary around seven months ago, but since it kept failing, I almost scrapped the idea, until I found the Bykski compression fittings, which saved this project and I barely managed to finalize it. The different iterations this build went through are described in the picture below. I slightly tweaked and edited my original summary, adding new benchmark results, but mostly left the original build process summary intact. Enjoy.
https://i.imgur.com/edktZv1.jpg
In the last couple of years, ever since I discovered the mini-ITX craze, I've been toying around with the idea of building the smallest SFF water cooled PC. I first started with the dual mini AIO mod in a K39 case, then made the original "No Space Wasted" build using the Alphacool Eisbaer LT in a custom loop with soft tubing. And recently I completed the A09 water cooled build. At that point I thought I was done, but deep down, I always wanted to try a mini-ITX full hardline loop and so this dream became a reality, although it proved to be quite an ordeal.
I will list out the specs first before going into the build process: -ASUS ROG STRIX X570-I GAMING -Ryzen 5 5600 -Modultra LOBO Low Profile Water Block (Alphacool Liang DDC310 Pump) -PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB XLR8 -Bykski N-GY3060XJ-X GPU Water Block -Syscooling AS160 Aluminum Radiator -Freezemod LSJ-ZNR Digital Flowmeter -KLEVV BOLT X 16GB kit (8GB x2) 3600 MHz -Crucial P1 1TB NVMe SSD -MF 650F 1U Flex PSU -D21 Case (old version)
https://i.imgur.com/PZP4aoN.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/kzTsZO4.jpg
I started with my old components from the original "No Space Wasted" build, only upgrading from 2060 to 3060. My first hurdle was trying to find a suitable water block+pump combo, since nothing that sold on the market fit in my case. This is when I stumbled upon the SFF.Network forum and discovered the existence of the Modultra LOBO. Not only did it fit perfectly with a few millimeters to spare, but it also has a neat feature of cooling the pump using the loop thanks to its full metal block design.
https://i.imgur.com/KbdreDh.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/N6wlqHS.jpg
Since I used dual 80mm copper rads last time, I found them to be not that great for optimal water flow, so I decided to risk it and go with an aluminum 160mm rad, which was the only rad that could fit. Simply strapping 80mm fans in a conventional way couldn't be done due to space constraints, so I first created the GPU fan style prototype. It was functional but didn't look great, so I opted for a better solution instead.
https://i.imgur.com/HFGCr3A.png
https://i.imgur.com/S3rxptI.jpg
I acquired smaller 70mm PWM 6000 RPM fans, cut small grooves into the corners and basically wedged it in between the fins and the fan mounting points on the rad, essentially creating a toolless fan installation. This also worked out great for airflow, since the fans were now almost fully contacting the fins, limiting air leakage. I realize that this way the fans could potentially deform or possibly melt if the rad gets hot enough, but I've been running multiple stress test hours on end and I've yet to see any damage. Hopefully that won't happen, since this machine will only be used for editing and gaming.
https://i.imgur.com/2ykwYuR.png
And so, I completely assembled the first iteration of the system, pressure tested and filled the loop. I previously used the Liquid Utopia from PrimoChill, but after running it in the previous soft tubing version of the build, it accumulated algae just after six months, despite no presence of mixed metals in the loop, so I decided to try PrimoChill's True clear fluid this time. That was a mistake...
https://i.imgur.com/AeWkMOb.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/CEJBqrS.png
This is what happened after running it for a few days. It gradually got worse, ultimately turning into this milky consistency and staining everything in the loop. Now, to be fair, PrimoChill strongly advises against using this liquid in a loop with mixed metals, but I hoped it would last longer than a week... Apparently, the reaction was almost immediate. Unfortunately, I had to completely disassemble the entire thing, deep clean all the components and this time I opted for the best liquid for mixed metals I know: Antifreeze. I bought a basic car antifreeze premixture and diluted it further, about 85% distilled water to 15% antifreeze.
I initially wanted to use PETG tubing for the runs, but ultimately decided to try copper ones. The rest is built using various types of fitting extensions. I really tried implementing as much of the tubing as I could, unfortunately there was not enough room and I was not trusting myself to make copper tubing bends. However, after the loop failed twice, I swapped the chrome plated copper tubes to pre-bent matte black copper tubes and switched all the fittings in the loop from standard Barrow triple o-ring hardline fittings to Bykski compression fittings with one large rubber gasket that tightly grips the tubing, insuring there's no slipping. I've tested both Alphacool and EKWB o-ring type compression fittings in a makeshift hardline test loop using both matte black and chrome plated copper tubes and both eventually slipped and failed, while the Bykski single rubber gasket never failed both in testing and in the final build.
Finally, I want to share some benchmarking data and temps.
https://i.imgur.com/NaOTpos.png
Idle temps are relatively basic, the T_sensor temp is a probe I have embedded into the pump housing to monitor its temp. As you've seen, I have a digital flow rate which also shows the water temperature in the loop and the idle water temps hover at around 34/36c. CPU at 39/42c. GPU at 34/36c. Finally, the pump is at around 38c.
https://i.imgur.com/eTIANkU.png
https://i.imgur.com/3wQyvX2.png
https://i.imgur.com/TqzVNm3.png
Stress testing the system has the GPU max out at around 73c and the CPU reaches 95c, while the water temperature hovers around 57c. I did undervolt both the GPU and CPU slightly and I think the little 160mm radiator is doing its best cooling 270 watts. This is an unrealistic use case though and the system runs a lot cooler and draws way less power while doing mundane tasks like editing or gaming. I've also included some 3DMark scores, for those who are curious.
https://i.imgur.com/S2JdJuD.png
Here is Resident Evil 4 Remake, running 1080p high/max settings. The CPU doesn't exceed 80c and the GPU stays at a nice 71c. The tiny 70mm fans obviously ramp up at this point, but aren't running at 100%, so theoretically I could lower the temps even more, but the fan noise would definitely start being an issue.
https://i.imgur.com/Zj1iJd4.jpg
Last thing I did after completing the final revision of the build was replacing the acrylic side panels with custom mesh dust filters held by magnetic strips. I think it looks much nicer and actually helps the system stay much cooler.
In conclusion, this was a long and complicated journey, full of failures and struggles, but I did manage to finally finish another pointless crazy project of mine. Stay tuned for my next (arguably the craziest one yet) build, which involves a certain SFF GPU that I finally got my hands on and I can't wait to get started on that project!
