2023.03.22 22:39 neo_sporin What is the best montage sequence?
My wife and I have been watching all the Rocky movies and she just loves stocky Iv for the ludicrously overdone montage sequences. There is what, five? In the movie. And it got us on a topic about montages in general as I loove a good training montage (or suit up style one like in Two Towers)
So I ask, what is the best montage? Karate Kid (you’re the best, around)?. Rocky training (any of them). Or something more classic like the OG montage in the Battleship Potemkin?

2023.03.22 22:39 fabreeze1989 Just some general questions for a new player.
Hello people. I'm very late on the skyrim train and I've watched some YouTube videos about the topic, but I could always use advice.
I'm currently level 20. Playing as an imperial, since I figured the boost to extra gold would help me. I was lied to, im dirt poor.
I saved up enough to buy a house in whiterun and I currently have a wife and two kids. Trying to save up for a horse, but not enough gold.
I'm not playing with any mods, although I bought the game and I got all the DLC and it came with creation stuff.
Is there a good method to farming gold? Besides the standard method of looting enemies and selling their items. I upgraded my speech twice but i havent really noticed a difference.
When does the DLC start? And what level should I try to be to start it?
I got a vampire disease and I hate it. I don't know how to get rid of it. I've cleansed my diseases and stuff whenever I visit a temple, but I'm still a vampire.
I'm a fan of one handed weapons and shield. Do you recommend a sword, an axe, or a mace? I like the sword simply for looks. But the axe sounds useful for the extra bleeding damage.
Since I'm an imperial character, im trying to join the imperial legion, im walking to a place called solitude. If I join them, will it lock me out or make me enemies with other factions?
How do you deal with carry weight? I have a full set of heavy armor and just 2 weapons with 1 shield. Seems like I can't loot more than 2 enemies without being over encumbered.
Can Lydia die? I keep rushing to her whenever she goes down to heal her, but because of this stupid vampire disease, I barely have magic and i run out of potions quickly.
Can I change Lydia's clothes? And make her equip a certain weapon? She has some metal or steel armor. I played fallout 4 and I could make them equip items. I know it's a different game, but is there a feature like that here?
I have this little crab following me around thay I rescued. And this skeleton wolf. But they are useless and never help me fight an enemy. Why?

2023.03.22 22:38 unsainted The World as you know it...
*The battle of the 4 armies was beyond brutal. Beyond a civil war or any other kind of war that had ever graced the planet. The gods watched in mirth and amusement. None were willing to interject too much. Instead, they kept an eye on their experiment and all wanted to see the outcome. Their mirth would be their prison...
As the war raged on, year after year, the chromatic dragons decided that their only hope was to take a side. The debate is that they put their faith in a few brutish Ancient White dragons who double-crossed all of them at the last moment.
The remaining humanoids, creatures, and dragons, dug. Some hibernated, some were caught and culled, some stayed and adapted, and a few with the help of the humanoids of the Underdark were able to push past the mantle of the planet. Through the caverns and underground currents 1200 miles at the thinnest place to find a thriving inner world. A world with adapted races, creatures, and a whole new set and sect of tech, magic, and collaboration.
*The 3 Ancient White dragons ruled over the iceball that was once called Pelataria. Their sole intent was to stave off the incursion or intrusion of any other being who made its way topside. They bickered a bit over territory, hordes, and subjects.
The residents that were hardy enough to live topside on the planet were all cold-resistant or had learned to cope with the harsh tundra and moving icebergs that were part of the landscape.
Every few years a small group would dare to attempt one of the dragons. 2 years ago, a group of firewards and wizards came forth from the planet. They had pinpointed the lair of the largest of the 3 dragons. The one called GrimHalt in the common tongue, the group attacked quickly and the battle was easily in hand.
With quick work, the gnomes and goblins collaborated with the most potent necromancer in the so-called "Hollow World" to make the dragon appear to be alive to the other 2 dragons. A tactic to make the next attack a surprise. 2 dragons to be felled simultaneously.
The earth was warm. The races had become accustomed to the heat in the past 625 years. A new society had to bloom out of despair and necessity. The battle of the 4 armies was still taught in school books and the academies. Everyone was educated here. Not one person could have a life of leisure. There was constant talk and planning of how to retake the topside of the planet. To set things "right with nature" and make the world as it was before the war. The 4 armies had stumbled on to dark magic that tapped into the sacred and profane. The actors upped the ante forcing tech, arcana, and into more and more perverse situations until the ultimate weapon was created. A planet-killing device funneled through a space vessel called the Nightmare Cylinder.
As the professor is speaking these words the words, even this far after it has happened, "Nightmare Cylinder" give even the heartiest of you a shiver...
The professor, an old balding human, his white hair a stark contrast to his dark brown and leathery skin speaks again.
"Out of the 38 of you, we need 5 or 6 of the aptest. Whatever your specialty may be. To come forward, help, and make a foray into the top. "
You look around at your classmates. Some old, some young, all have been training for this moment. Every race, every gender, every walk of life, now all in this place working towards the same goal. Restoration.
The professor squints and adjusts his round spectacles. "Who of you are ready?"

2023.03.22 22:37 mangogetalover123 Which form of activity to use for football/soccer practise?
I recently bought a Garmin Forerunner 55 which I'm, so far, very happy with. I bought it cause I want to record my training sessions for the half marathon I'm training for. However, I also play football 3 times a week which I want to record, which there is no seperate activity recording option for. Which option would be the best to use during my football practise?

2023.03.22 22:37 tis4toshi Dog Leash Laws & Neighbor
What should I do about a neighbor who lets her dog run off leash in my neighborhood? Are dog leash laws even taken that seriously if I complain to someone? I hate to complain AT ALL. But this neighbor consistently let's her dog run the neighborhood leash free. Like the whole neighborhood is its backyard. I have my own dog. When outside he is restrained in my backyard and when I'm not actively watching him he is leashed as well on a long lead. I also have two small children who I constantly worry are going to have a run in with this dog outside our home. My neighbor knows her dog should be leashed and I have told her she needs to leash her dog but she is still letting him run free. Just today her dog ran up to my fence and had a fight with my dog through the fence. I have a friendly dog breed but he is a protector of our family and alerts us to animals and people who get too close to his yard. I feel like I'm doing everything with my dog. Restraint, privacy fenced in yard, bark collar (vibrate kind), and training. I don't want my dog to bark like crazy but I do want him to alert me to intruders. My dog is really young btw. Barely 7 months old. I am training him on the barking but he is still a protective in a barky way type breed (collie). And he will listen (mostly) when I instruct him to settle down. What do I even do that I haven't already done? Why can't people just follow some sort of etiquette with their pets? I feel like I'm always following the rules and laws but no one else is. Sigh. End of my ranting. Thanks for reading.

2023.03.22 22:36 chrishadji95 Local Small Business Discovery App ~ survey questions
Hi! I'm Christian, an owner of a small personal training business, based in NYC. Lately, I've been struggling to get clients due and seeing potential customers choose the larger, well-known businesses over mine. I'm working on an app that allows people to discover and purchase solely from local small businesses, with a focus on biz owners of marginalized communities.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially if you identify as someone who is part of a marginalized community - this information would genuinely be very important to me. To show my appreciation, the first 7 people who comment will receive $5 through Venmo or Zelle (whatever works for you), if they also complete the form within an appropriate time (~48 hrs) (so you don't rush the questions!). Again, super appreciated, so thank you!

2023.03.22 22:35 AhbzV Higurashi Ep. 8 - Matsuribayashi (Thoughts and Review-ish)
Chapter 1 Review // Chapter 2 Review // Chapter 3 Review // Chapter 4 Review // Chapter 5 Review // Chapter 6 Review // Chapter 7 Review
Context - This is my eighth review of Higurashi. As stated in earlier reviews, I have no experience with anime, manga, or Visual Novels (with the exception of DDLC). This play through is also blind, as I knew nothing about the game before jumping in. With this in mind, let's get to the analysis of Matsuribayashi.
Episode Eight - Matsuribayashi (SPOILERS BELOW)
If you want to skip my initial thoughts on the plot of the arc, skip down to reaction to get my analysis of the story as a whole.
Initial Reactions: Fun fact about myself, I hate endings. I struggle finishing stories because endings bum me out. I hate having to say goodbye to a world and characters I spent time getting to know, even if it is fictional. Needless to say, I struggled with finishing Higurashi. I had to force myself to read despite often not wanting to, and I am happy I did.
The first four chapters of this arc were backstory for Takano. Truthfully, I found these to be, mostly, very boring. The orphanage scene was intense, and learning about her transformation from Miyoko Tanashi to Miyo Takano was interesting, but the rest of the scenes were a bit slow for me. But these scenes did establish an important plot point - Takano's desire to avoid having her grandfather's work stepped on, both literally and figuratively. Furthermore, the final scene in Takano's background was excellent, her face off with Hanyuu. It corrected the misconception that Takano's battle was with Rika. It never was, it was always with Hanyuu.
Connecting the fragments was very cool. For a largely un-interactive VN, this bit of interaction was a very nice touch. It filled in the few remaining cracks in our knowledge, and beautifully set up "the game board" for which the rest of Matsuribayashi would take place.
I could spend hours discussing each fragment, but I only want to touch on two instances. First, the splendid moment of Keiichi's father seeing Rika and Hanyuu play in the field. This fragment had been hinted at earlier in Higurashi, but getting to see it play out was a genuinely beautiful moment (especially when coupled with the piano score by Dai). His insight about why children playing is beautiful because it makes us reminisce on our own lost innocence was deep. And while yes, Keiichi's father sometimes comes off as a bit creepy, I found this moment to be very innocent as he saw the future his own son could have.
Secondly, there was an immense horror that creeped through my mind when it seemed as if Satoshi would be dissected for the sake of research. This was a very well done red herring, as I truly believed Irie (or at least Takano behind his back) sliced open Satoshi for the sake of furthering their research into Hinamizawa Syndrome.
After connecting the fragments, we are given a glimpse into Akasaka's life. And it becomes clear he will be the X-Factor the club needs to finally, maybe, defeat Takano. Also, he's a badass. Sure, some of his fights are a bit over the top, but I was fine with it. His character model in the console arc is very corny, so I used the Remake models for his scenes because he actually looks like a monster fighter.
After the fragments, the arc picks up at school where they have a new student - Hanyuu. Hanyuu's introduction was brilliant with the line "Therefore she didn't exist" later followed by "To be involved in something is the same as to exist. Therefore, she existed." *chef's kiss* Tremendous writing. Hanyuu was now on the stage, and immediately the arc started with a type of hope unfamiliar to Higurashi.
Naturally, everyone loves Hanyuu. Rena wants to kidnap her, the club accepts her, and she fits perfectly. There were some questions about her horns, but everyone simply accepts her for who she is. To me, this quick acceptance of Hanyuu and all of her quirks is a microcosm of Higurashi's overarching point about friendship - it doesn't matter about a person's oddities or their past, if a person is truly "our friend" we will and should accept them.
Hanyuu guides Rika through setting up the plan to combat Takano and eventually everyone is brought into the loop. The battle is nears its start again, but this time the club has a secret trump card - Akasaka. I said in my last review how I believed Akasaka would be critical in defeating the conspiracy, and that rang true. Without Akasaka, things would have never gotten off the ground.
We see some huge character development from Ooishi, as he accepts his mistakes then accepts the risk in taking down the conspiracy. He even makes up with Akane Sonozaki and they become mahjong buddies by the end. Ironically, as important as Akasaka was to their success, Ooishi played (arguably) an equally big part. He wasn't just helpful to the club in his actions, he was also helpful in what he failed to do - create paranoia around the Sonozaki family. In nearly all of the arcs, Ooishi is partly responsible for a character's descent into a maddened, paranoid state. In this arc, he spreads none of this. He is simply reliable, and that is what the club needed.
While I expected more trading of punches between the two sides, the battle between Takano and the club is largely one-sided. Tomitake is captured, and Irie nearly dies. Furthermore, the Mountain Dogs and Okonogi almost capture Rika, but she is saved by Akasaka in a triumphant entrance. Side note, this guy absolutely manhandled the Mountain Dogs and Okonogi. I was a bit bummed he didn't land his haymaker on Okonogi, but by the end I understand why (and appreciate why) they had Okonogi make it out of that fight.
But after these events, the Mountain Dogs and Takano are completely outclassed. While there are a couple close calls with the team who raid the clinic, Mion's plan goes off, more or less, without a hitch. Mion was never truly given a chapter, and while this is definitely not a Mion-centric chapter, she gets some love here. She is shown to be a shrewd commander capable of outthinking someone of Okonogi's status. In an interesting and heart-warming scene, Okonogi pays his respects to Mion when he reaches her. He wants a warrior's end, and she gives it to him. But Mion is not happy at the end of it, but we never understand why.
Also Satoshi is alive and being treated for Hinamizawa Syndrome. Shion and Satoshi deserve their own analysis, but I will leave that to THIS excellent video discussing Shion and her relationship with Satoshi.
The final tense moment comes when Takano draws her gun (with one bullet) and intends to shoot one of the club members. I enjoyed the symbolic nature of this moment, as Rika subverses the expectation established throughout the chapter. We are constantly told of the figure who needs to take on the sins of humanity to bring peace. We naturally expect someone to die because of this, we expect there to be a sacrifice. But Rika corrects this line of thought and states the world didn't need a sacrifice, it needed the card it was missing (Hanyuu). She stops the bullet when time freezes, and Takano is arrested.
Tomitake saves, in a way, Takano. He takes her to the Irie Clinic stating she may have contracted Hinamizawa Syndrome.The chapter concludes happily, and for the first time in all of Higurashi there is a truly happy ending.
I want to touch on the Staff Room scene, because it (to me) is important to understanding why Takano isn't killed or disgraced at the end. Ryukishi states that he did not want there to be winners and losers. He, throughout the eight arcs, carefully crafted a message about the need for people to come together to help one another, stating that when we avoid this then conflict arises. He acknowledges that maybe Matsuribayashi is not the perfect ending to this world, but he is happy with the message he has created. And with that, the curtain closed on Higurashi.
Review: I have taken a lot of time to process the ending of this story. I was emotional finishing it because I have sunk so many hours into this over the past four months. Yes, I know there are animes and console arcs I can watch/play (and I probably will), but this is the original. This is from the lips of the creator himself. This was his 4.5 year project. When I think of Higurashi, I will always think of these eight arcs first.
Furthermore, I could dig in and analyze all of the characters. But that would require a short novel in and of itself. Instead, I will just highlight my thoughts on the culmination of the Higurashi story.
To me, this is a masterpiece. It is a shame that the medium of this story (Visual Novel) keeps this story from getting the exposure and appreciation it deserves. We are looking at a story longer than Harry Potter that steps across multiple genres of storytelling. Higurashi is not a psychological horror, it is not a mystery, it is not a tragedy, it is all of these things in a single story. To me, this deserves the love that something like Star Wars or Harry Potter gets. I don't want a fucking Harry Potter world at Disneyworld, I want a Hinamizawa at Disney World (I've never actually been to Harry Potter World so don't crucify my off-handed criticism).
But masterpiece does not mean perfect or without flaw. There are definitely scenes that are a bit over the top/corny. For instance, the idea that a group of five teenagers can outwit and level an entire unit of trained, counterintelligence agents is unrealistic. There was nothing indicating Rika could step through frozen time and stop a bullet. Akasaka probably can't 1v5 a fight. I recognize the flaws in these scenarios.
But the masterpiece comes from the symbolic significance of these scenes. Higurashi spends seven arcs showing the club members go through so much shit, and we see them all grow significantly. To them, after seven arcs of chaos, the battle with the Mountain Dogs is nothing more than a club game and it highlights their unfettered trust and love in one another. Yes, Rika had never been able to move through frozen time to stop a bullet. But the story always stated that Rika was one miracle away from escaping her dark fate. This was that miracle. Through the sheer will of everyone involved, a miracle happens. Akasaka was so overwhelmed by grief because of his failure to save his wife and Rika that he spent his remaining days training as a way to try and rectify his "wrongs." Once he is given that chance, he does rectify his mistakes because of his training and preparation.
In the same way that all visual art is not intended to be hyperrealism, Higurashi is not intended to be a hyper-realistic piece of fiction. It is a story about the complexity of friendship, the need to learn to live with one's mistakes, and the unknown truth that we don't need losers (i.e. we don't need an us vs. them mentality). In a society (at least in America) where traits such as isolationism and distrust are common, the first half of Higurashi serves as a warning to how these ideas can tear relationships and people apart. Kai then conveys the beauty that can arise when we trust those in our lives and challenge the ideas that we believe hold us back from attaining that which we want.
Mion encapsulates this idea perfectly. When Okonogi is heaping praises upon her stating that she could command any army in the world, Mion proudly exclaims that she wants none of it. She wants to play with her friends and enjoy life with them. Mion is not driven by selfish desires and she does not believe her dream is unattainable. In those final scenes, Mion believes nothing can stop them, and she places all of her trust in those around her.
So this was Higurashi. I could say so much more, but like Ryukishi said - it is up to you to create what you want from Hinamizawa. I have loved this story, and I am heartbroken that the journey is over. I'll play Rei, but I probably won't write anything about it. If you have read this review and/or any of my other reviews, I appreciate you joining me in this journey. I don't think I could have chosen a better first Visual Novel.
I'm not sure what I will read next, I am considering Clannad or Fata Morgana, but haven't decided on anything. I will eventually get to Umineko, but I want to change the genre up a tiny bit. But who knows, maybe I will just start Umineko. I have sixteen hours of travel this coming weekend, so if you have suggestions please drop them below!
Once again, thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts and ideas to my reading. Take care everyone :)

2023.03.22 22:34 just_premed_memes Would I be able to fine tune GPT-3 or 4 on my discord message history to create a bot of myself? Also, how long would it take to train tacotron 2/waveglow and DeepFaceLab on my own video/audio to then connect the trained GPT up and basically make a fake version of myself?
Also, I have a feeling I cannot do this natively on my Surfacebook....So if anyone has any idea if I should do this or if anyone wants a project idea.....

2023.03.22 22:33 Narrow_Ad_7792 Taking a suppressive sarm
Hi guys I’ve been toying around with trying a suppressive sarm and I’m currently taking sr9009 as I’m totally done with the body fat percentage I’m on and muscle mass i Carry. I’ve noticed a small increase in fat loss but noticing the muscle loss as well :( I’m looking at ostarine but I have a few questions and I have done some research upon it. Will it harm me in a future way for having kids? Bold question but that’s why I’m on here to ask people that have taken it etc. will it also provide me with my goals I want along side my diet. My goal is to finally see my abs and be an athletic build and have a decent amount of muscle on me, I’m happy with the amount now but I want the fat to go but can’t have 1 without the other.
Cheers

2023.03.22 22:32 secureTechFit Specificity Principle - When does Zwift become bad for you?
Goal: Win "In Real Life" Bike Races (Road Race, Gravel, XC MTB, Crits, TTs)
Obviously, there are lots of benefits of training on a smart trainer. No weather restrictions, can be very specific about efforts, terrain, etc. But you don't work the 'other' skills like bike handling, aero positioning, pack movement, off-road handling, etc. so it is clear to me when applying the specificity principle you can't train on Zwift 100% of the time and expect to win anything outside of Zwift. Maybe you disagree.
The question: Let's say Athlete A has 10 hours a week to train, what is the minimum number of hours that should be done "In Real Life" to ensure the best real world performance.
30%?
