2023.06.10 07:21 PrimedMonster 39 [M4R] US/PNW/Anywhere - In need of a friendly face!

Hello!
This post is brought to you by the letter B - for "boy, do I wish I knew more fun people around the area - or anywhere really - to hang out or talk with."
Recently moved to around the Portland area so don't have a ton of friends here..
A bit about me; I do web development as well as photography but on the side I have dozens of hobbies that suck up way too much time as well.
Interested in getting to know new people to go have exciting adventures with.
Do tell me how your day is going or something about you as I'm open to chat about whatever.
If you'd like to be friends with a chatty guy I await your message!

2023.06.10 07:08 natman2939 Some Things DBFZ Should Learn From Street Fighter 6

Disclaimer: Kinda long but I BOLDED the main points and saved the best for last so if you read nothing else, read the last two BOLDED things. Thanks
Right off the bat I want to say this isn't about Gameplay at all. They're two very different games and that's fine. I like it that way. Heck I actually much prefer DBFZ's gameplay but it's nice to have a chance of pace.
Also don't worry about bias because DBFZ is my favorite fighter of all time so if anything it would be the other way around (even though the original Street Fighter 2 is what introduced me to fighting games, but that was a lifetime ago and really has nothing to do with the suggestions i'll make)
Instead what I can't stop seeing in SF6 is all the non-gameplay stuff, that makes the overall experience so much better. I've noticed myself say the words "God, I wish this was in DBFZ" so many times that I finally just had to sit down and write this thread.
So let's get the obvious stuff out of the way
  1. Rollback -- the netcode is amazing. DBFZ is a game where you probably won't want to play with someone if they're West Coast and you're East Coast, but SF6 you can have good games with people from entirely different continents.
  2. Cross-Platform --speaking of Rollback, even when DBFZ finally gets it, it won't be coming to PS4 or Xbox One, meaning PS4 players won't even be able to play with PS5 players, let alone with PC players or Xbox X/S players. But SF6 has full Cross Platform, PS4 players like myself can play with PC players, Xbox players, and our PS5 brothers
In fairness to Arcsys maybe netcode stuff is extremely technical. I mean it certainly has taken them a long time to get Roll Back finished, so much so that even after announcing it a year ago, the Beta still hasn't happened.
But what about some simple quality of life stuff that wouldn't be that hard to put in the game? I genuinely believe they could do most of this stuff in less than a week:
  1. You can queue up for both Ranked and Casual matches at the same time.
I mean holy shit this seems so obvious in hindsight but why do we have to pick JUST ONE?!?!? Obviously you can still have the option to pick one but why JUST one??? SF6 let's us check the boxes and you can choose one, the other, or BOTH!
And..... you can still look around the lobby for private matches and stuff so imagine potentially entering Ring Lobbies, or even looking for Arena matches while still searching for Ranked and Casual matches.
This way you not only have more options but you're more likely to find a match and whichever one finds you a match first is the one you go to! Super Simple.
  1. You can offer to run another set with your opponent
Now this one is kinda the same as hitting rematch technically but it feels more like you're doing a whole new set thanks to how SF6 has multiple rounds per "Game"
5. You can offer to run (Ring Matches) with someone after you've played them in matchmaking with just one click of a button
If you want to continue playing with the opponent after you've run ranked/casual matches with them, there's an option right there where "rematch and quit" normally are to invite them to a private room (essentially like starting a ring lobby with them)
No need to message them and ask if they want to run Ring Matches. No need to tell them what Lobby you're in and all that mess, it'll put you in a "Ring" (private room) automatically
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saved the best for last.
  1. You can put people on a Block List
Think of it like the way the "Marker List" works except instead of just getting a red warning and manually deciding if you want to play them again, You CANNOT be matched up with them ever again (unless you remove them from the block list)
This means if people are:
-Laggy
-Toxic
-Smurfs
or even
-Annoying
You don't have to deal with them ever again. Not having this feature only benefits those people.
A little side story while I'm on the topic of how useless The Marker List is: There's this son of a bitch named SupremePapi that i've actually made like two youtube videos about. Instead of just smurfing like a normal smurf, he turns on matchmaking, puts his controller down, and just goes AFK for HOURS. So that he can lose, rank down, and then beat up on weaker players. From his replays i've seen he'll lose over 50-70 times in a row and then suddenly win 50 to 70 in a row. It's MADNESS.
He's the only person I have on both my Follow and Marker list so that I always know that it's him. Now you might be thinking "So? Just beat him and move on" but I don't want to artificially rank up so I don't want free wins. "Okay so just decline him then?"
Ah but that's the problem.... because his connection is so good and he's always available to play... he will show up NONSTOP. I've showcased this in my videos on him (on Natman2939) that as soon as I decline the match up with him, he'll just pop up again, I decline again, he pops up again. I once started counting and I declined him over 15 times in 1 minute.
DBFZ doesn't give a shit that he's on my marker list (and no having him on follow doesn't effect it cause I tried that) they just expect me to keep declining him over and over.
This means I have no choice but to just get off for a few hours because I'll spend the next hour declining him HUNDREDS of times in a row.
If this were Street Fighter 6....I could just Block him ONCE....and he would be gone forever. If he made a new account and smurfed. Block that account. The end.
And he's just the worst example but obviously there's so many toxic/laggy/smurfs or otherwise people I just don't want to play that might be one of the few people on at my rank and I just have to keep declining.
A Block List ends that problem completely.
---------------------------------------------------------------
But my absolute favorite thing that SF6 does that DBFZ doesn't. The *chef's kiss* of SF6
  1. It actually has severe punishments for Rage Quitting (and shitty internet)
I know what you're going to say "but I love Rage Quitters! They make me laugh!" me too. They really do. Heck if you saw my last youtube video (or many of my youtube videos including entire RQ compilations) I actually do get quite a bit of joy from them and am constantly celebrating and laughing when they do it.
But.... that doesn't make rage quitting cool, and doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished. I would laugh that much harder and celebrate that much more if they were.
Because frankly watching someone get to a rank they have no business being at because they RQ so much is just gross. Especially knowing there's virtually no consequences in DBFZ (except some very rare temp bans that you have to RQ like 50 times in a small period of time to get)
But here's what SF6 does....
If someone disconnects 5 times in a certain period of time they get a "yellow card" which is basically like a warning that they disconnect a lot.
But here's the funny thing..... THEY CAN ONLY PLAY WITH OTHER YELLOW CARD PLAYERS!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Now you might be thinking "but Natman, I disconnect a lot because my internet is bad!" well buddy....you're hurting other people's experiences with that bullshit whether it's your fault or not so get it fixed or get your yellow card and go play with the others like you.
Now Capcom is super fair of course, allowing people to come back the regular player pool BUT.....only if they complete a certain number of games without disconnecting.
So RQ'ers and wifi warriors are in shambles.
But wait there's more!
If you continue to disconnect even while having a yellow card, you get a red card. This means you can only play your fellow red card players and you have to go like 20 matches in a row without an issue to lose it.
AND.....I hear the wait times for yellow and red are way way way worse than normal people, so enjoy your waiting simulator while the rest of us get to play the game without having to suffer your bullshit.
As if that wasn't more than enough, if you continue the bullshit even with a red card, you will get temporary bans.
Now I couldn't begin to count the amount of threads discussing rage quitters and horribly laggy wifi types that there have been in DBFZ. Can anyone (other than them.....) imagine how amazing it would be if this were in DBFZ?!?!?!?
Not only could you block them straight up, but if you chose not to, they'd be removed from the pools anyway. Because instead of a purple "match completion" warning that serves no purpose other than another reason for me to have to manually decline a match, instead their equivalent of the match completion warning, forces them to only fight others with the same warning, and then get straight up banned for 3 days or a week if they keep it up.
It's glorious.
All of these things combined make the online experience so much better in SF6 and would help DBFZ immensely.
I could also go into other things like training mode doing much better training set ups (like "anti air practice") or showing your exact plus/minus frames over your character's head... but obviously this is long enough for now.
So anyway, I'm in my 3rd year of playing DBFZ and I love the game but these are just a few ways it could be much much better. Maybe.... arcsys will take notes for future games.

2023.06.10 06:46 czg22 Need Input: Escape Room for Elementary Music Classroom

Hi there! I am designing and making an escape room for my 3rd grade students as a review of the concepts they learned in 2nd grade. I would love input from a variety of people so I’m cross posting to escaperooms, teachers, and musiced.
Here’s what I have so far:
Theme - I am basing my narrative off of the book/song “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly”. So far my narrative is: You are a doctor who got a call about a very sick old lady. You are at her home looking for clues about what could have given her such a terrible stomachache. Find out what she ate, give her the right medicine and do it all before she eats anything that would send her to the hospital.
Decorating and Prop Ideas - The game has to be reset for 6 classes. I’m thinking of laminating documents and making a flowchart that will make it easy to set up the game for the next day. Every class has about 20 students but they can be grouped into smaller groups. I want to make half of my class look like an old lady’s farmhouse with missing animals. There’s an empty dog bed, a kitty litter box full of sand, a fly swatter, a cobweb in the corner, a birdcage, a window overlooking a goat barn, etc… I have 6 small wooden boxes, one big treasure box (all boxes have a clasp for a lock), 6 locks and keys, and one big lock that has 6 holes on it where six padlock locks must all be opened in order for the big lock to open. I have six combination locks that open with 3 letter combinations. I have a felt old lady and felt animals.
Puzzle Ideas: My students need hands on activities. I was thinking of hiding a key in the sand (kitty litter box), hiding keys in clay, taping keys under furniture. Some of the puzzles I was thinking of were having kids solve musical math with rhythms, solving a jigsaw puzzle that shows the anatomy of a recorder, an ukulele, or a xylophone and then flipping it over to see a message. Maybe doing a watercolor and oil pastel secret message??? I have invisible pens and flashlights. I am also good with MakeyMakey, Scratch and Paper Circuits. Something with magnets would be cool. Or sorting instruments into instrument families. The students also learned about musical form (binary, rondo, etc) so I feel that lends itself into some type of puzzle. Definitely we can do something where they spell out a word using pitches on a treble clef staff.
Things I’m not interested in: I don’t want it to be worksheet heavy. I’ve seen the escape rooms on Teacherspayteachers and I’m not interested in everything just being in envelopes. I have a space in my class that can be dedicated to this escape room and would not interfere with my other classes so I don’t feel a need to make everything paper based.
How you can help me: I think I need a non-linear approach with six different tasks, six animals: fly, spider, bird, cat, dog, goat. Not the horse because that makes her die… that’s too sad. I could split up my class into 6 groups which is manageable. What does a 30 minute escape room experience look like for just one task? If I could get help with even just one task, I feel like I could get my mind around the other tasks. Thanks everyone!
P.S. I would err on being easy because I have kids that are just starting to learn English. So basic sentence structures, visuals, etc.

2023.06.10 06:37 Imaginary-Zebra-3589 New Aniara fan fiction short story - The Lost Voices of Aniara: A Space Saga

Introduction
The short story you are about to read was created/inspired/based on a variety of sources related to or about Aniara. Aniara rock opera (Seventh Wonder) - The Great Escape, the Aniara wikipedia page, the Aniara film, poem etc. So if you read something and it sounds familiar, it's probably because it comes from or is based on, one of those sources. I have also tried to incorporate some of the thoughts and ideas expressed here on aniara, so some of you may see that reflected. I have not read everything that has to do with the Aniara universe, but I have found many of the resources listed on aniara very helpful in creating this short story. Thank you for those. I have also included a couple alternate endings.
Also, this story belongs to everyone, so everyone should feel free to to fill in the blanks, add to, subtract, or change any part of the story, in anyway they see fit.
I dedicate this short story to all the fans of Aniara, this story is for you and of course the late Harry Martinson.
Like many people who watched the film 'Aniara', I was mesmerized/traumatized by it. It really had a profound effect on me. So much so that I decided to write this fan fiction short story. I am not a writer. The short story that you are about to read is my (very) amateurish tribute to the film. I apologize in advance for all of the grammaspelling and other errors. Despite the (many) flaws of this short work, I hope that you can see what I was attempting to do. Anyway without further or do, I present to you:

The Lost Voices of Aniara: A Space Saga
WE CROWN THE SKIES WITH OUR TIARA, THE LIFE AND FATE OF ANIARA

Note: The following represents the most complete (so far) chronicle of events that happened onboard the Aniara.

Year 18 - Song of Melancholy - My name is Benjamin Jenkins, but everyone calls me "Benny", I am proud to announce that I am the new "Captain" of the mighty space "cruise ship" Aniara. Of course, my title could just as easily be the Admiral of Mars or the Conquer of the Universe, or some other ridiculous sounding grandiose title. Sometimes you must laugh in the face of despair otherwise you will go insane. It's all just for fun of course. I was given the title "Captain" by the crew because I was able to restore the communications transmitter. At least I think I was able to retore it? The lights show green for transmitting, so yeah I bet it works, and besides, all of this is being recorded for posterity and it will be placed in a time/memorial capsule. After that the capsule will be sent in the (general) direction of Mars/Home, where hopefully someone finds it. I'm also the Senior Maintenance Tech in charge of repairing/prolonging various ship systems, etc. There are now only a few remaining livable areas of the ship so it's not as much work as one might imagine. And to think 18 years ago, I was just an ordinary passenger, how far through the ranks I've come! As the "Captain" I will now recount the entire history of the Aniara, the various events, the everyday happenings, from the awe inspiring and amazing, to the boring and mundane, great triumphs and crushing defeats, all the feelings of happiness and joy that come with new life and all of the sorrows and despair that come from (too) many deaths and (too) many hardships. All of our great accomplishments, setbacks and everything in between will be laid bare before the entire universe to witness. Our love, our hate, our dreams, our wants and desires, disappointments, anger and fear but above all our HOPE. Our precious HOPE, the only thing we have left, which has kept us alive for so long. Our HOPE that this message will be received, that someone, somewhere will know our story and our struggle, our HOPE that Mars will be successfully terraformed into the paradise that we all know it can be and our HOPE that Earth will be restored to the paradise that it once was. It's all here, it's all being recorded for the future. I will start our saga from the very beginning of our trip all those years ago...

Hour 1 - Routine Voyage - Well, this is it! Soon I and many others will make a new home on Mars... of course if we hadn't ruined the first one...

Week 3 - Without a Map/A Slight Detour - Today the Captain made an announcement that there would be a slight detour in our trip. In order to avoid a collision with space debris, (which would have destroyed the ship) we had to veer off course. Some of the debris hit the nuclear reactor (a very rare event), which forced the crew to eject all of the ship's fuel. The Captain told everyone that we will be able to resume our trip to Mars once the ship passes a celestial body, which should (probably) happen in about two years. Everyone is (understandably) disgruntled by this unfortunate news. As for me I have no one waiting for me on Mars so it's not as bad.

Year 2 - Wait and See - After several long months of trying out all of the various amusements and other distractions, I was starting to get bored, so I spoke with one of the senior crew members and asked if I could volunteer to do something, anything. Also a job would help keep my mind off our current situation.
Today, my request to work was approved and now I'm part of the crew. My job is to do general maintenance tasks around the ship. I also help take care of the algae, which are used to supply the ship with oxygen and food. It's not a very challenging task, in fact I find it very tedious, but the algae are crucial for the ship's survival, so it gives me a sense of purpose and on top of that I also earn extra points.
Eventually, because of my (part time) job in maintenance, I would come to know every nook and cranny of the Aniara. On one particular day I noticed a slight problem (Electrostatic Diffusion Impaction or EDI) with the ship's air filtration mechanism. I was quick to inform my supervisor about the issue and together we fixed it immediately. If I hadn't spotted the problem, it could have gotten much worse and that would have been catastrophic for the crew and passengers. Afterwards my supervisor bought me a shot of (rationed) Dutch brandy. Other than that, nothing of note has really happened. Everyone is basically in a holding pattern.
One last thing. I've heard a disturbing rumor that there is no celestial body for us to turn around at... If this is true then, that would mean... But for now all we can do now is wait and see...

Year 3 - The Yurg/The Passing of Mima - A memorial was set up to honor the end of Mima. So much joy had she given us. On the wall among the thousands of drawings, pictures, and sad goodbye letters was a poem that went like this:
We sit and stare at all the marvels that she brings us.
Mima lead the way.
Shine your light!
Be the beacon of hope at night.
Perfect grace in the barren house of space.
Shine your light!
Blind us when reality bites.
We so need the magic she does.
Many rumors are going around about what happened to Mima. People say that the Mimarobe (MR) was the one that ended up causing Mima to die. As for me, personally, I don't believe it. The Mimarobe just didn't seem like the type. A few times after I got off from work, when I walked to the end of the long line of people waiting to see Mima, the Mimarobe would come out and say "Ok, everyone that's it that's enough for today, you have to leave now, sorry." My own personal opinion is that she was just trying to give Mima a break, so even though I was of course disappointed, I completely understood. Sometimes we all just need a break. Sometimes things just get to you and you start to feel overwhelmed. I understood the feeling. Mima was like us in that way. Anyway, Rightly or wrongly the Mimarobe was locked up in the ships brig, her and another woman, I think she was one of the pilots, Isabella\, I think was her name but I might be wrong. Oh well, our lives must go on, much sadder of course, but that's life, I guess. ****Isagel, the pilots name was Isagel, her and the Mimarobe would later become a couple.

Year 4 - The Cults - Strange things have started happening. Various cults have sprung up all over the ship with bizarre and strange names. One of these (that I am a member of) is called the ゴールデンサンライト・フォーエバー・クラブ - Gōrudensanraito Fōeba Kurabu - which roughly means the Golden Sunlight Forever Club. Some of these phony cults are/were created as a disguise to have outrageous sex orgies. The cult that I am part of is one of these. (HELL YEAH!). The other cults are very boring, stare out the window and worship the stars or something like that, types. (Glad I'm not a member of those!).

Year 5 - The Calculation - A few weeks ago I met someone special (Carmen) at one of the "worship" services. I've seen her before a few times, but this is the first time that we "connected" and it was amazing. I'm glad that she accepts my physical imperfections (burns scars). Now we are a couple and have left the cult.
Fantastic news! The Captain has announced that an Emergency Refuel Rescue Probe is on its way! The news of the rescue probe has had an electrifying effect on the crew and passengers. Everyone is so excited that no one even cares that we will have to wait just over a year for it to get to us. People are starting to clean and pick up trash again, and the sex clubs and other cults are starting to go away (in anticipation of a return to proper civilization). Now we have hope again! Thank GOD!

Year 6 - The Spear - The rescue probe is almost here. (Only one week away!) I also have even more great news! My girlfriend fiancée is pregnant!, now I will be a Father just like I always wanted! I have spoken to Captain Chefone and he has agreed that he will marry us on the day that the Aniara turns around and heads (finally) back to Mars/our new HOME! Even though it will take us several more years to get back, it will have been worth it to me. I am grateful for the "slight detour" we had to endure, because it allowed me to meet the love of my life! Now with our precious child on the way, I am truly happy. PURE JOY - beyond all words...
Something is wrong... After an entire year of training and preparation, the crew has successfully grappled the refuel probe and brought it on board. Everyone expected that within a few days, (a week at most) that we would turn around, but it's been three weeks and nothing. Every day the passengers ask the crew what's going on? When will we turn around? and every day we get the same answer: "Soon, everything is going according to plan, just be patient." People are starting to doubt and lose hope. I even walked right up to Captain Chefone but he knew what I was going to ask and he brushed me aside very angrily saying "Not now, I'm busy!". Now I don't know what to think. One minute I have a future and the next nothing. How can this be? I don't understand! WHY?
Catastrophe! After work I went straight to my quarters to sleep, it had been an exhausting day. Just after I fell asleep, I was awakened by a rumbling. Then, over the speaker came the announcement: Return immediately to your cabins and fasten your seat belts! Since I was already in bed, and had no idea what was going on, I quickly fastened my belt. When it was all over [missing] passengers and crew left. I was told that it happened because of something called "bow shock", which [missing] kind of like a shock wave. The bow shock had badly damaged many systems. [missing] so now I've been "promoted" to Senior Maintenance Tech. Repairs must [missing] don't have any more spare parts for [missing] so many are dead...
Today the Mimarobe completed her beam-screen project. So now when you look outside you can see beautiful waterfalls and green fields etc. I try not to look at it too much. For me its just too painful...
Year 7 - The Fall of Heaven - Today marks the one year anniversary of the arrival of the so-called "Emergency Refuel Rescue Probe". What a very official and grand sounding name for a giant stupid looking dart or as some call it "The Spear". I've even heard some people refer to it as the "Devil's Javelin", but whatever you call it, it's of no use to us. The Astronomer had once told me before she died "supposedly" from a heart attack, (rumors say she was murdered by the captain, I don't doubt it) that all the work and tests they had done on the probe were useless and that even the hardest drills were simply ground into dust without even making so much as a scratch on the probe. Despite a literal barrage of tests and every possible experiment known, even using our most advanced lasers, they had achieved NOTHING! That was the moment I realized that we would never make it home. I even visted "The Spear" once, it was years after all the experiments had ended. There was a time when the area was heavily guarded by the crew and only authorized personnel were allowed in. Of course when I went to see it nobody was around, nobody cared, everyone had given up on it long ago. I saw all of the black marks from what must have been hundreds, if not thousands of desperate attempts to get inside it, or just to figure out what the damn thing was supposed to be. On the floor all around it were small heaps of black and silver metalic dust, remnants of our strongest and hardest drills, remnants of our hope. Our best and brightest couldn't even figure out what it was made of, let alone figure out how to use it to take us home.
I beat my hands against it over and over and I cried out my pain and anger at it. "You were supposed to save us!" "You were supposed to take us home!" You Damn! stupid thing, help us! save us!" But of course it was all useless my cries went unanswered, all I did was injure my hands and hurt my soul, assuming I even have one. After that I (I'm ashamed to admit it)... in complete and total desperation... I got down on my hands and knees in front of it and begged it to save us. "Oh, great magic spear, please save us and I will do anything, anything..."
After I had exhausted and humiliated myself I got up and went back to my quarters broken and alone. All hope was lost before my visit with "the spear" and afterwords it didn't even exist, not even as a word, as though there had never even been such a thing or concept as "hope".
I had been struck by the spear, just like everyone else, head on. My now ex-fiancée and I have split up. Things just weren't the same after the procedure. I don't blame her at all for our break-up, after talking about it, we agreed that if there was now no chance for us to make it home then... what was the point? I went with her when she had the procedure done. But before we went I secretly met with the doctor who would perform the operation and told her what I wanted done after. She told me that I was sick... that it was "disgusting", and what did I plan on doing with "it". I told her that it shouldn't matter, none of this matters, then I pulled out an EFR (emergency food ration). EFRs could remain edible for an indefinite period of time. (In theory they could last for hundreds of years.) Here I said, "one now and one when I get what I want". The doctor was stunned, I knew what she was going to say and I interrupted her and said,"Unlike everyone else I saved my emergency rations." "I only have the two left (I was lying) so don't try to extort me for more." After years of eating only algae, EFRs were (almost) more valuable than oxygen. Of course the doctor agreed and I got what I wanted. It might sound crazy but I had a plan. Fate had taken my family away, but I was prepared to defy even the gods themselves. I was determined that I would have my FAMILY! No matter what! Nothing and no one, no force of nature, no power in all the universe would take that from me. NO! NEVER!
I asked me a question, no reply.
I dreamt me a life and live a lie.
Dream me a nightmare...
I traveled the stars but passed them by.
For trapped on Aniara, here was I.
...always been leaving.

Year 8 - [missing]

Year 9 - The Daily Grind - I have now returned to reality. I have stopped all of the sick and sad mind games that I have being torturing myself with. I once created a "plan" to do the impossible, but no more, no more. Everyday now seems like an endless pointless, struggle. Sometimes [missing] and hours. Some of my co-workers stopped [missing] for now that's all any of us can do...

Year 10 - The Jubilee - Tonight at the Light-Year Hall, those of us that are still left are going to "celebrate" the 10th anniversary of our 3 week voyage to Mars or as I like to call it the "never ending space adventure" Ha!
Captain Chefone gave the Mimarobe a medal for her creation of the beam-screen device. I sat in the front row and couldn't help but notice that one of the Captains wrists was bandaged, probably from another suicide attempt...

Year 11 - Hope Restored - My ex-fiancée is dead. She commited suicide like so many others before. I was hard at work trying to revive the algae (they had been neglected for some time) when my assistant rushed in and told me the news. "They were about to send her body into space, you have to hurry if you want to see her". I immediately and literally dropped everything I was doing. The algae pack I had been working on fell and splashed on the floor as I ran out the door as fast as I could. As luck would have it, I made it just in time to see her, and I even had time to cut a lock of her hair. I then kissed her one last time and said "Goodbye my love... but, goodbye is not forever."
Then that was it, off she went into the empty, endless, void. She was gone I told myself, but not dead. I squeezed the lock of hair in my hand and vowed that I would bring her back to life, somehow, someway, I would make things right, we would live the life we were supposed to have. I would make it happen. It would happen. Suddenly, I felt a force deep inside me rushing to the surface. It had been years but I knew what it was, It had returned to me, a feeling of exuberation, of joy and the certainty of knowing that everything would be okay. I now resurrected my "plan" and now I had a reason to live again, I had a purpose, and now I had......HOPE! And this time I was determined that I would never lose hope again. NEVER!

Year 12 - Return of the Cults - Some of the old cults have started making a come back... However this time they are no longer sex/fun cults, because after so many years of eating just algae, almost everyone has lost their sex drive/ability to reproduce... I think because the type algae on board was genetically modified to produce the maximum amount of oxygen possible, so it was never intended to be used as a permanent main source of nutrition. If we had access to more than just the one type, things might be different...

Year 13 - Foward, Foward into the cold empty night! We ride! - Captain Chefone is dead. Suicide. I knew he had been on the brink the past few years so it's not much of a surprise. I would often hear him say to himself "We should have been home by now." Of course he was right, we should have, but instead here we are stuck on this eternal "voyage of the damned".
A week after Captain Chefone died, I found myself walking by his quarters. I had the sudden impulse to go inside. I don't know what it was (probably just morbid curiosity), but I think I just wanted to find some answers...
I was surprised to find that his quarters were just as much of a mess as mine. (And everyone else's.) I think because he was the Captain, I expected a lot more. (He was only human.) After looking around the room, I went over to his desk and inside I found the Aniara's Offical Ships Log, but the electronic notepad was damaged beyond repair (on purpose). However, underneath it was a small paper notebook. "Ah, I said out loud, now this should be interesting." When I opened the notebook I was immediately disappointed. Most of the pages were torn out and those few that remained had been harshly scribbled over.
On one of the few pages not missing or completely marked over was written this: Today, we almost lost the entire ship, were it not for my quick and decisive actions as Captain. [illegible] an incredibly rare occurrence [illegible] critically damaged our main nuclear reactor. [illegible] only seconds [illegible] forcing me to [illegible] off course [illegible] have power for some time. This evening I will break the news to the passengers in such a way that will cause the least amount of panic and at the same time not destroy their hope. If they knew the real situation, it would only cause unnecessary chaos. In this way, I will maintain order and keep the passengers safe. Fear and [illegible] as Captain of Aniara [illegible] that is now my primary job. [illegible] now like a Shepherd Father and the passengers my sheep children. In many ways we are very lucky, [illegible] this trip, Aniara's sister ship crashed into Jupiter heading towards the Orion belt colony. Everyone on onboard was killed.
On another page was written this: The rescue refuel probe is here. [illegible] turned out to be [illegible] not what I expected. I have [illegible] for clarification, [illegible] Mars [illegible] -----cation. Testing will continue. I still remain confident that [illegible] the project called "[illegible] ---elin" can still be used in someway to turn the ship around and resume course.
The last two pages were so scribbled over that I could barely make out any words let alone a full sentence. I did however, notice what looked like the word "Devil" written over and over. Very strange. I left the Captain's quarters with more questions than answers...

Year 14 - [missing]

Year 15 - The Light Show Ends - Today the projection device created by MR, (Everyone still calls her the 'Mimarobe' as a sign of respect.) had to be shut down to conserve power. The Mimarobe often expressed to me her regret at not being more forceful with Captain Chefone in explaining the problem with Mima. She told me that if she could back in time she would say to the Captain:
"Just imagine what it will be like if Mima isn't here... do you understand how hellish the situation will become? My life is dedicated to this program and I'M TELLING YOU, IT WILL BURN OUT AND DIE! Imagine if people can temporarily go back to earth by turning on a light switch, now imagine if the bulb blows up, and there's no replacement..." "I know how important Mima is and you don't get it!"
The beam-screen seemed like a great idea at the time to keep everyone's spirits up, but in many ways it may have done more harm than good. People lost their minds staring all the time at something they knew they would never have...

Year 16 - [missing]

Year 17 - [missing]

Year 18 - The Time/Memorial Capsule - The Mimarobe was the one that came up with the idea for a time/memorial capsule. She (like all of us) has suffered greatly, but from time to time she would show a small spark of her old self. The idea, while slow to catch on, would eventually give those of us still left a renewed sense of purpose. (People now had a reason to get out of bed.) But, it was I who would take the idea and transform it into something greater. Our first attempt at creating the capsule was successful (it was little more than a metal box) but at the same time, as the Mimarobe pointed out it looked too much like a large coffin. I agreed. We could do better. We had to do better. But we had to be careful [missing] effecting power systems. I asked the Mimarobe if she could sketch a better design. After two days the Mimarobe presented me with a new design, it was beautiful, but simple, yet elegant. Above the sketch was were the words, "Heart of Aniara." The name was perfect. We would fill the "Heart of Aniara", with our art and our poetry, with our hopes, dreams and wedding rings. We would pour into it our stories, our struggles, our trials and tribulations, we would fill it with the tear drops from our very souls.
The "Heart of Aniara" is almost complete. It has taken an entire [missing] solid effort to build and everyone took turns polishing it, so now it shines like the golden sun. We also wrote [missing] and painted two large red hearts on the sides. It [missing] long and on the inside are different [missing] created using metal partitions. [missing] was instrumental in its consruction...

Year 19 - A Slight Delay - Disaster! Several Power systems, including all emergency back up systems across the ship have begun failing for some unknown reason. [missing] working around the clock to figure out what is wrong... I don't know how much longer we can hold on...
We finally found the [missing] will work for the time being, but [missing] restored power [missing] will do for now...

Year 20 - The Heart of Aniara - At last the time has come for our send off. Everything is ready. As the "Captain" of Aniara it is my great honor to commision this new vessel "Heart of Aniara". Behind me I heard someone whisper "vessel?". I continued, "It is my firm belief that the "Heart of Aniara" will make it back home to Mars and everyone will know our stories..."
A moment before send off, I told everyone to wait. Theres one more thing left. I then slid open a hatch on the side and told everyone that I hated to do this to them, but I was going to Mars with my family. The Mimarobe approached me with a half smile on her face and said in a very serious tone "Good Luck, Captain Benny", "tell everyone on Mars hi for us and that we wish we were there." I smiled and promised that I would. Then to my suprise all the others came up to me, with some shaking my hand and congratulating me, asking me to say hi to their family and friends as well. I then ducked down into the newly christened "Heart of Aniara." Then the hatch was sealed. A small rechargable electric candle that I brought with me, provided the only light. Knowing that we would be leaving in a moment I opened a small box, took Carmen (lock of ex-fiancée's hair) and Sarah Ann (small jar with dead fetus) and held them together in my left hand against my chest. I could feel my heart beating with a mixture of fear and excitement. I took out a small children's book with my right hand and began reading it from the beginning. It was my daughter's favorite. It was called "The Duck and the Noodle." "Daddy are we there yet?" I laughed as tears ran down my face and said "Yes, my little princess noodle were almost there."
The Memorial Capsule lauched into space with a loud whoosh...
(Mimarobe, MR) - When everyone had just got through waving goodbye and were getting ready to leave, the view screen turned on and with it a pre-recorded message from Captain Benny. "To celebrate this great day, I have arranged for you a "Grand Feast", then he paused. A few people exchanged questioning looks. Then the Captain spoke again. "You see", he said with a smile, "Unlike all of you, I saved my emergency rations. You will find them hidden inside the mattress in my quarters, enjoy!" "Also, you will find two bottles of wine, yes! real wine!" Before the video even finished several people had started shuffling as fast as the could to Captain Benny's quarters. The Captain wasn't lying, it appeared that he had indeed saved almost all of his emergency rations for some special occasion(s).
What a feast it was! To make it fair for everyone we took all of the rations and put them together to create a kind of giant stew. Each of us not only savored each precious spoonful, we cherished it as though it was a long lost loved one. It is not an exaggeration to say that each bite was chewed one hundred times or more and then held in the mouth for ten minutes or longer, swishing the pulpy liquid around and around. I even saw one person spit the food back into their bowl and then put it back into their mouth, over and over again. That seemed a little bit unusual to me, but everyone should enjoy their last real meal the way they want. As for the wine their was enough for everyone to have a shot glass filled to the brim. We talked about the "Great Feast" for months afterword...

Year 21 - [missing]

Year 22 - The Living Dead - (Mimarobe, MR) We've had to abandon almost the entire ship to conserve power, but basically were still good alive... I still dream about Isagel and our son from time to time...

Year 23 - [missing]

Year 24 - The Sarcophagus - A few remaining survivors, including the Mimarobe, sit cross-legged in a dimly lit room. One of the few survivors speaks in a rhapsodic manner about the divine power of sunlight on Earth.
The Aniara slowly descends into final darkness...

Note: Years 25 through 5,981,406 are missing.

Year 5,981,407 - Lyra Constellation - The Aniara, derelict, frozen and devoid of human life - reaches the Lyra constellation and approaches a planet as verdant and welcoming as Earth was formerly. It quickly passes by continuing on into the endless void of space...

Date Unknown - The Warm Embrace - Ages come, Ages gone, Aniara soon embraced, engulfed by warmth and shine, newest born crimson light, Aniara far from home, aflame, not even ashes remain.

Epilogue: Year 100 - The Triumph of Hope - Despite the faliure of many valiant rescue attempts, including all attempts at communication, we remain confident that those onboard the Aniara knew that they were not forgotten. It is difficult to imagine (the speaker momentarily shuttered), the impossible challenges they endured. The story of their lives will remain in the collective hearts of humanity for all time. It is our hope that we will do right by them, now and in the future. We vow to never repeat the mistakes of the past... and that is why today, on the one hundredth anniversary since the Aniara was lost, we reach across time and space to bring their souls back home, home to this sacred place... We hereby consecrate this new park as the "Aniara Memorial Park and Museum Complex." As you walk through these doors, one of the first things you will notice is the "Heart of Aniara" on display. Along the walls are the names and pictures of the passengers and crew, their artwork, poetry, and most importantly, the stories of their lives, their hopes, dreams and wedding rings...
Aniara Memorial Plaque: We ourselves are the sorrow, we are also the joy, everything human is rooted in humanity, and no human being can escape humanity, not her hatred and her self-degradation, nor the joy she spreads, nor the love she forms.

Date [redacted] - Project "Devil's Javelin" - Status report #[redacted] - As of today's date we are aware of a total of four "spear-like objects" [redacted] and has contextualized that there are many more as yet discovered. Because of [redacted] we now know they are made of [redacted] and probably come from [redacted] the first was found on Earth 86 years ago, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The second one was discovered by the crew of the Aniara [redacted] years ago. The third was found here on Mars, near [redacted] and moved to its present secure location. The fourth and newest one was found when [redacted] the far side of the Moon. [redacted] buried inside the [redacted] impact crater. We have yet to discover the purpose of these "spear-like objects."
After [redacted] to prevent another type of incident. [redacted] have been able to gain access to the inside of the one here on Mars. [redacted] only after [redacted] and the entire team. [redacted] using the most advanced technology and research methods. Dr. [redacted] found [redacted] which is impossible and should not exist. However, we must now come to grips with the horror that this new revelation about humanity has [redacted] general public must never find out...
THE END?

Alternate ending 1
Year 5,981,407 - The Sarcophagus World Destroyer - As the ship Aniara descended towards the lush and green planet, the crew rejoiced. Or at least they would have if they hadn't all been dead. After thousands of millennia wandering through space, they had found a planet that was almost identical to Earth.
The planet's gravity was very strong, and the ship had become trapped in the planet's gravitational pull and started hurtling towards the surface.
The Aniara crashed into the planet with a deafening roar, causing massive destruction and sending out shockwaves that rippled across the surface.
As the dust settled, it became clear that the landing had been catastrophic. Plant and animal life had been completely obliterated, and the once green planet was now a barren wasteland. Soon not a single living thing was left to witness the horror and the devastation that had been caused.
Another beautiful, thriving, planet, a blue and green jewel, once teeming with life has been turned into a lifeless barren wasteland...

Alternate ending 2
Year 5,981,407 - The Second Chance Sarcophagus - As the ship Aniara descended towards the lush and green planet, the crew rejoiced. Or at least they would have if they hadn't all been dead. After thousands of millennia wandering through space, they had found a planet that was almost identical to Earth.
The planet's gravity was very strong, and the ship had become trapped in the planet's gravitational pull and started hurtling towards the surface.
One one-trillionth of a second after the Aniara crashed into the planet the mysterious spear-like probe on board finally awakened. A God-Like Power. In that one one-trillionth of a second the Aniara was scanned by the powerful probe and the events and lives of the crew had become known to it. At the same time, both the ship and the planet were saved by a force field of immense power. The ship was now resting safely on the surface of the lush, green planet. The probe had determined that the primitive life forms on board were worthy of a second chance at life and it was able to resurrect the entire crew and all the passengers from microscopic DNA that had been left. The Aniara was perfectly restored and even the Mima had been brought back. The crew and passengers awoke to find themselves in a veritable Garden of Eden, a paradise. Maybe this time things would go better and the mistakes from the past would not be repeated...

Looking to swap the Tapex 2 for a Halo or other versatile delay and the Tumnus for another transparent drive that doesn't do hard clipping like a Klon circuit. Not interested in TS circuits or fuzz.
Have the box and a nice remote tap tempo switch for the Tapex. No box for the Tumnus, and some of the front lettering is worn.

2023.06.10 06:04 Maxweilla How do I go about making something that I could potentially sell?

I found a need for something in a hobby I have, then made a solution out of cereal box cardboard and masking tape.
The way I see it, if I have this problem others could too. Whats the next step in making more of these to maybe sell locally? The manufacturing step i guess you could call it.

Revolution of Retail
Disclaimer: What you're about to read is all speculation/tinfoil/theory, keep an open mind.
I believe what is happening now, has all been planned for the past 2 years or more. Ryan Cohen's intentions since Chewy were to compete with Amazon and Rome was not built in a day. This all hit me and the timeline connected after the "Matt Furlong non-compete with Amazon", so lets start there.
->Matt Furlong started at Gamestop in June 2021.Roaring Kitty's last tweet was on 6/18/2021(GIF of Kittens all sleeping) no word from his account since then. I posted in thePPshow and BBBY group today- 741 days from Roaring Kitty's tweet will bring us to 6/29-6/30/23(few things are set to happen on this date). ----Jim Cramer has been posting multiple tweets with pictures of kittens in June and Ryan Cohen's recent activities on the Panther's twitter. Is the sleeping gaint Roaring Kitty?
-The Carl Icahn documentary Restless Billionaire(2022) if you have not watched it yet, watch it! Brett took the lead on investing with Apple and they bought a large position in 2013. A dinner is mentioned with Tim Cook the CEO of Apple at their house. I truly believe Apple(APPL) and Tim Cook are involved with this play as well.
Now to touch on a few pieces to tie this Apple pie together:
  • Icahn's relationship with Apple and the CEO
  • Ryan Cohen's tweet -Teddy is holding an Apple Pie(including GameStop in background)

  • In Teddy books there are parts talking about going to China, all the way to China, the gifts and multiple other sections like the bold font letter B's.

ProtocolGemni /VoyageAR is a metaverse of rooms in houses. The tweet above spells out Bed. Bath. Beyond. in the emojis, and scroll through all the tweets in VoyageAR twitter https://twitter.com/voyage_AR
to let this sit in a little more...
Bed Bath & Beyond is an iconic brand and a store that was noted to have any home good items you ever needed, no other place like it.
Let's finish it with this:
There are multiple parties involved in this play, it will be massive and the beginning of a revolution. Apples new Vison Pro will be the new age of E-Commerce shopping with the stores a virtual reality in the metaverse. Customers will have the VR experience of shopping in stores(Bed Bath Beyond, GameStop, and more) making the e-commerce come with a more tangible feeling for the items but still shopping online.......the amazon competitor. You see an item, you touch it -then a small box pops up, similar to what you see shopping on your phone. I can go on-and on -and on with more, but I will end it here.
Gmerica/TEDDY? Let's see what the future holds ..........

2023.06.10 05:19 SeventeenModTeam [POLL] Should r/seventeen join the blackout on June 12-14th in protest of Reddit’s changes to their API pricing?

Hi all,
You may have seen some of the recent news about subreddits going dark for 48 hours starting June 12th in protest of Reddit’s changes to their API pricing. The moderation team on seventeen is also in favor of going dark, but we realise this could cause an inconvenience for the community, so we wanted to inform you about our reasons for wanting to do this and hear thoughts from you.
This poll will run for the next 24 hours.

Why are subreddits protesting?

On May 31st, Reddit announced that they would change the cost of accessing their API (“application programming interface”) from being free to paid, but at a level far beyond what most third-party app developers can afford. Some third-party apps for Reddit that currently function using the Reddit API include:
Many third-party developers voluntarily develop these products for free or are supported through some self-generated ad revenue, and this level of pricing effectively “kills” many of these apps as the costs to maintain them would be unsustainable.
Third-party apps provide many quality-of-life features not currently seen in the official mobile app/mobile web/desktop site – this is what it’s currently like to moderate posts in the official mobile app. Additionally, the loss of these third-party apps and tools would severely limit a redditor’s ability to customise their experience, being able to only use what is officially provided by Reddit.
Lastly, probably the most affected group will be the disability community, specifically the blind and visually impaired. Reddit simply does not provide them with the accessibility features they need and deserve, nor the tools that would make browsing and using Reddit possible within Reddit’s own website and app. Most, if not all of the community, relies on third-party apps with accessibility features to effectively interact with Reddit and mod their subs. Reddit also shows no intention of allocating funding or providing resources to further develop their accessibility features: therefore, starting July 1st, they are cutting off an entire community from their platform.
Thus, the seventeen moderation team supports the 48-hour protest of Reddit’s API changes and wants to join the thousands of other subreddits in solidarity. We hope that this site-wide protest will send a message to the Reddit admins to reconsider their proposed changes and make them more reasonable.

What does this mean for me?

In the short-term, seventeen will go private and be completely inaccessible for 48 hours, starting on June 12th, 12 am PDT. How skipped updates and other sub-wide events will be handled is addressed below.
(We did discuss methods for doing a softer, less disruptive blackout, but did not feel like this was ultimately in the spirit of the protest.)
In the long-term, if you are using any third-party mobile app, you will need to switch to the official app on July 1st (when the pricing will go into effect). Many subreddits are planning on going on an indefinite blackout until more reasonable action is taken.
As an average user, you may not notice much difference in your browsing experience. For those using external moderation or accessibility tools, though Reddit has announced that tools/apps focusing on accessibility and moderation will not be negatively affected by the pricing changes, many of these tools are already provided by third-party apps that will be affected. Sites such as Unddit (for tracking post/comment edit history), which run on APIs like Pushshift, that are not quite covered under the vague criteria of being “legal, non-commercial, and [helpful to] mods,” are likely to no longer work as intended going forward.

I don’t use third-party apps or tools – why should I care?

That’s fine – if the official stuff works for you, don’t fix what isn’t broken!
However, the seventeen moderation team wants you to know that currently, you have other options besides the default. If the future API pricing changes are implemented as is, the official Reddit app will likely be the only option you will have in the future for browsing – any bugs, glitches, or quality of life issues you may encounter will primarily depend on the Reddit admin to resolve, and there will be limited alternatives in the meantime. (Imagine if you could only ever use your default Web browser.)
Additionally, although your experience might not be affected, the experience of many others will be – for example, 14% of the kpop community use third-party apps to browse the site. The Reddit mobile app of choice for many will be shutting down indefinitely, including the many that implement accessibility features not currently being done so in the official app. (Worth pondering why there is such a sizable number of users using non-official apps.)
Finally, this is an upsetting continuation of large apps pushing out small, hobby, and non-profit developers that contribute so much to user experience: Reddit’s proposed pricing model is similar to that of Twitter's enacted in Feb 2023. Notably, much of Reddit’s current audience was grown due to the work of small developers – Reddit did not have an official mobile app until 2014 (9 years after its founding) when it acquired the popular third-party app, AlienBlue. (Reddit discontinued development of an in-house app as other third-party apps became more popular prior to AlienBlue’s acquisition.)

How will missed updates/other sub events be handled?

This is what the moderation team is currently planning, but we welcome alternative suggestions or ideas.
Hoshi countdown:
seventeen would be going dark on multiple days of Hoshi’s birthday countdown: Therefore, we plan to collate the usual birthday discussion posts into one single post on June 11th (KST), D-4. The banner and stickied birthday messages post will stay up for an additional 48 hours.
Missed update posts:
The moderation team will not be actively posting Seventeen’s updates during the blackout, and users are free to post them to the sub once the blackout has ended, on a first come first serve basis. For those who want to stay updated during the blackout, we recommend resources like svtcontents on Twitter and the SNS calendar on the qoo.
We will approve submitted update posts for the missing days. We highly encourage submitters to prioritise the missing days first to maintain some chronological ordering of posts, but will not strictly enforce this.
Please note that reposts will be removed. Users should check if a post has already been posted beforehand.

What else can I do? Where can I learn more?

Before the blackout, read up more on the issues and take action:
On June 12-14, you can:
We welcome any thoughts in the comments. - The seventeen mod team

2023.06.10 05:09 EternalGTS Help with amplifier?

Hi, I’m new to this sub. Recently decided to get back into the hobby.
A little backstory - last week I bought 2 cheap subs from Walmart. 2 of those Jensen 12” 1200w peak 300w rms subs. I had an old dual band pass box and slapped em in, and connected them to an old amp I have (I believe it’s the Audiobahn 4004t). Honestly, the subs slapped. The bass was extremely decent for the cost. I became addicted, I needed more. So today I went out and bought 2 power acoustik 2500w/1250wrms 12” subs and put them in (wired them properly according to the schematic). I bought a 2500w power acoustik amp, wired everything over from the old amp and hit play. The bass was clearer, but noticeably quieter than it was with the previous setup. I checked everything, both subs were working, wiring was good, and the new amp was cranked to the max. I took the new amp out and wired the old one back and it absolutely rattled the whole car with bass. So loud that my dash cam fell off the windshield and rear view mirror was hanging on for dear life. What gives? According to what I’ve seen online the audiobahn amp is like 300w rms 800w peak? Why isn’t the power acoustik amp much louder and better quality? Even with the old amp I can tell that the subs have so much more room for power. Can anyone give me some advice? I live in a rural area and want the kind of bass that can be heard from a quarter mile away. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!!

2023.06.10 04:48 eddie_the_albatross Any advice for selling single issues and to save on shipping?

So I've been running my own online store now for 2 ish years reselling my books to fund the hobby, but I have about 3 ish short boxes of individual comics and I'm wondering the best ways to ship them to save money as apparently buyers won't be too quick to get media mail, but priority mail is always way too expensive. I have gemini mailers I use but for anything over 12 comics which is the supposed limit for mailers I'm looking for the best sized boxes I'd need.
If this would even be an economically viable venture. I'd like to believe it would be though. I've been collecting comics for almost decade now since I was a kid, and want it to be my business.
Thanks to anyone willing to help out.

2023.06.10 04:35 NineInchNinjas 27 [M4F] North Carolina/Anywhere - Nerd looking for metalhead/goth gf

Hi! My name is David, and I'm a 27yo nerd in search of a woman who shares and understands my interests, needs, desires, etc. Someone who enjoys PC gaming, metal, reading, and other hobbies/interests I have, while also being a decent, patient, understanding, open-minded, affectionate, and funny person. Physical attraction has always been important to me, and I'd like my partner to be somewhere between average and chubby sized, regardless of height. Big chests are always a plus too! ;^)
I guess I should describe myself first by what my personality's like, which is mostly introverted and quiet unless given an opportunity to talk about my interests or important things. Even moreso in person, which is why I prefer a good while to talk online before meeting up. I'm very open to LDR because of this, too. I'm good at making puns but bad at telling jokes. I like to be verbally and physically affectionate, even though physical touch is sometimes uncomfortable for me. I'm not sure what else at the moment, though, it's always been hard to describe myself this way.
Instead of describing my interests in the order that I enjoy them, I'm going to do it in reverse this time. So, the first is reading, and it's something I do when I feel like I can put the mental energy towards doing it. Not that I don't like it, but not every author writes books the same way, and it can be taxing to read through a chapter that feels too long. But, my favorite book series is Drew Karpyshyn's Mass Effect novels, and I've always enjoyed reading them. All three feature a lot of the same characters, but have different overall plots that connect together. I love the games and I love the books just as much, and they're decent modern sci-fi novels. 2001: A Space Odyssey is also a favorite, I like the mystery and hard sci-fi of that novel, plus it's an easy book to read. I'm not all that into fantasy books, but I like the story of The Hobbit to enjoy reading it, despite the long chapters and the winding way that Tolkien writes things. And I'm currently reading Neuromancer by William Gibson, which is mysterious and interesting so far. Aside from your regular novels, I enjoy graphic novels as well, mostly The Crow, Hard Boiled, Mass Effect Complete Comics, and Watchmen.
Musically, I'm very much a fan of classic rock, grunge, industrial, nu metal, power metal, and a few other genres that I can't really define. I really enjoy Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Disturbed, Audioslave, Unleash The Archers, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden more than anything, and I have entire physical discographies of some of them. I like a little bit of Arch Enemy, Pale Waves, Hot Milk, The Offspring, Victorius, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and quite a few video game soundtracks. I don't have a lot of band merch besides some patches and Iron Maiden figurines (they came with deluxe edition box sets), but I want to eventually.
The game genres that I mostly like to play are retro PC first-person shooters, RPGs, and open-world games, with a few indie-type games (like Terraria and Stardew). Mostly singleplayer. Doom, Quake, DUSK, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Mass Effect, Fallout New Vegas, Disco Elysium, System Shock (currently playing through the original 1st time), stuff like that. I like FPS games that are mostly fair with combat and RPGs with good roleplay mechanics, and I lean towards sci-fi and post apocalyptic. I don't have a strong laptop to play games with, so I've learned to appreciate games with older graphics and gameplay, plus some have nostalgia for me (I still have the old Steam copies of GTA III to San Andreas that were delisted in 2021). Being a PC gamer, I also have a huge backlog.
That's pretty much everything I wanted to say, so let me know if you want to talk! Brownie points for selfies and questions will be rewarded!

2023.06.10 04:17 NittiFireTTV Star Wars Autographs

I would like to know where the best place to go for getting my Star Wars autograph pictures framed. I know Michael’s and Hobby Lobby are popular places but I’m wondering if there are any others that you all recommend.

2023.06.10 04:14 queenofthescreen [Thank You] Heat P2: It’s so hot I almost called my ex so I could be around something shady. It’s so hot my thermometer goes up to “Are you kidding me?” So hot I saw a chicken lay an omelette. It’s so hot the bee’s perm turned her into a frizzbee. It’s so hot you can wash & dry clothes @ same time.

Lovelies from lovelies: https://imgur.com/gallery/UYA3RPN
u/MikePenPal6 Thank you so much for your beautiful offer of sending belated valentines - I felt really special to receive this homemade, heartwarming wish of love & good tidings! Love it all - the heart-themed scrapbooking paper, the “You are my favorite” 3D heart embellishment, the red sequins you used to jazz up the cover (love this craft tip!), the pretty pink cardstock base, your angel & animal themed stickers, & the lovely floral/V-Day washi decorations inside! To answer your question about my V-Day…honestly it was a little sad. I’m lucky to have the most wonderful bf, but he has a chronic illness so we were unable to spend time with each other. So that’s why I was especially excited & appreciative of your kind offer. Your card made me so happy, thank you! Like you, I really “love all the cute things for the holiday”. I just lose my mind over the pairs-themed cuties that emerge around that that day!!!
Like the peanut buttejelly, bacon/egg, cheese/cracker stuffed honeys holding hands:
https://hip2save.com/deals/spritz-valentines-day/
I wish I weren’t lured in by these lovelies, but I’m sappy/stupid that way. Thank you again for brightening my spirits with your sweet card. I hope you had a beautiful V-Day & that all your days are filled with limitless love! =)
u/mnjohn x 4 WOW!!!! Thank you so much for the super thoughtful, ***surprise*** birthday card party (you sent me a party, what!??!) with all your lovely wishes & wonderful goodies!!!! The illustrated animal postcards - toooo cute!!! I also appreciated the affirmation mini card encouraging me to “Remember why you started” & the affirmation postcard - this is such a valuable affirmation for anyone, at any stage in life: “I think it’s okay to not have everything figured out by now.” TRUTH! I was astonished at your generous gift of unused vintage/modern stamps - thank you! Thank you also for the unique washi samples (the mail themed ones…so sweet), fun stickers, scrapbooking ephemera, & goodies to pass on. My heart was so happy to experience all your kindnesses. My heart felt full - and I felt spoiled. I just thought of how lucky your loved ones/friends who have had the pleasure of meeting you IRL must feel - because if you’re so loving to a mere stranger…how loving are you to everyone else?!?!? I also loved the “Art of Magic” forever stamp you used (never seen this beauty or the other neato women cryptologists stamp before!!!!), your lovely calligraphy of my name on the envelope, the floral stickecake decorations, and your personalized stamp (what a beautiful illustration of you)! So so neat! Thank you also for the MARVELOUS “Hello” mailbox-themed postcard that you personally designed - it’s such a treat! The vintage style for the graphics is so fun! I’m especially bananas for anything mail-themed since I’m new to snail mail as of this year. So I felt really lucky to receive mail-themed magic! Thank you for making me feel so special with your thoughtful, generous gifts, delightful wishes, & all the love & affection. Wishing you infinite joy with your creative dreams & endeavors!
u/germymany Thank you for the vintage 1840 floral-illustrated postcard! I love the nature scene themed pink & green washi tape! The smiling matchsticks - sooo cute! Wishing you the best of walks on the most beautiful beaches!
u/melhen16 x 2 Thank you for the postcard thanking me for the “overloaded dog postcard” & the patriotic-themed card for National Card Writing Month! Thank you for the cheerful, colorful stickers to pass on! Hope you had a blast writing cards & spreading cheer!
u/yetanotherblankface Thank you for the insanely cute Pusheen postcard decorated with the matching, insanely cute Pusheen stickers! The pretty pastel colors instantly brightened my day! Wishing you pretty pastel days!
u/FeistyBlizzard THANK YOU for making me go bananas/bonkers/looney tunes for the gorgeous illustrated NPR postcard!!! It made me so happy in so many ways. Not only am I an NPR nerd, but I also flip out over illustrated cards/doodles! The graphics on it - so insanely cuuuute! The colors of the graphics instantly happied (the way this card made me feel made me use this word for the first time ever haha) the heck out of my day! And I’m also a sucker for mini illustrations - the mini cup of ice cream, the mini bottles of nail polish, & the mini notebook papeenvelope/pencil just had me swooning! I have to bug you & ask if the postcard is part of a series/how I can find more like it. Because I love it that much! NPR? A brief search was fruitless. AND where can I find the precious mail-box/letter themed sticker?!?! Soooo cute! Even the pretty pastel washi is a joy to look at - you’ve got great taste!!! I also wish I had your delicate, elegant handwriting - it’s like a blend of calligraphy & modern art!!! You asked about my fave things - like you, I love to read. And I’m particularly obsessed with libraries, bookstores, ephemera, junk journaling, & newly nuts for snail mail through RaOC. Thanks again for this postcard treat! Wishing you all of your fave things in all your fave colors!!
u/somedrawer Thank you for the pretty pink & yellow pastel themed birthday postcard! The pattern is so simple yet so bright & happy! Your sweet wishes were so heartfelt & happy - your enthusiasm means so much to me! I also loved how you wrote HB in two different colors of ink - what a cool 3D effect! I can’t wait to try that sometime. I also love your whimsical, pretty cursive script. The smiley face you drew - so cute. Also love the spring-y, bright washi & strawberry sticker!!! Thank you for thinking of me with your kindness! Wishing that you discover lots of mysterious goodies in not only somedrawer, but every drawer in your home (but not in a creepy way - I’m sorry, I haven’t been sleeping well). ;)
u/SailorCrush Thank you for making my day with the most beautiful hand-illustrated, happy doodles ever on the beautiful glittering hearts birthday card!!! I wish I could draw & illustrate like you! All of the doodles - the cuuuute unicorn with that awesome braid…tooooo cute, the slumbering, smiling moon, the floating balloons, the 3D heart, the multifaceted gem, the mini globe (the intricate detail work is soooo nice), the star, and I don’t know if it’s a comet or constellation or what but it’s precious, the doodles border (love this tip for instant creativity - even a dodo like me could do this, yessss!) - all of it is such a treat! Oh my these elegant stickers - so beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for spending all your time & effort making my birthday so special! I hope your summer is as sweet as you’ve been to me, my friend.
u/Rura_Penthe924 Thank you for the beautiful postcard depiction of the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy with your warm, wonderful birthday wishes! I loved your wishes for “new adventures & opportunities” - these wishes & your kindness in thinking of me made my birthday special! I also love your pretty print handwriting. I could read the most boring of books if they were written in your handwriting!!! Thanks again. Wishing you a beautiful summer!
u/OkayFlan x 2 When will you cease to be cute? Good Lord, these stickers of the soda cans, tea cups, decadent desserts, kawaii cutie bears, the baby bird, mocktails, your mini OkayFlan personalized salmon pink/white stickers on the “Don’t Overthink It” postcard (so needed this message) are soooooo insanely cute my heart hurts! What you did with the torn-paper address label - that’s soooo neat!!!! I’m also nutty for the “Boston Tea Party” stamp you used - never seen it before!! Thank you for thinking of me, my always-encouraging, always-there friend!!!! AND WHAT?!?! The rainbow surprise card with the generous gift of Korean Stickers made my heart burst with joy that you thought of me!!!! The way you decorated the envelope with all the bright, beautiful cute-themed pastry/kawaii stickers & washi tape made me so happy. You took so much time & effort in jazzing up the envelope with so many happy vibes - I felt really special. Thank you!!!!! I can’t even begin to thank you for all the special birthday goodies you sent me as the library is about to close (update - they’re now closed & I’m typing outside in 101 degree weather connected to my mobile hotspot because I’ve been having a thank you formatting crisis for hours waaaaa - ever have issues?!?) so I’ll thank you in another post. So blessed to be your friend. XOXO
u/rennbrig x 2 Apologies I have to post your ty in the comments, been in tech pain for hours
