2023.06.10 06:02 WolfinBoy About that disturbance at Nightfall
A concerning fight broke out amongst a group of youths during the second set tonight at Nightfall in the field.
It looked like 2 girls, early high school, wailing on each other for at least 30 seconds before they dispersed. Huge group of similar aged kids surrounding them with their phones out, it almost looked staged. There was screaming, laughing(??). Security showed up WAY too late.
I know stuff like this happens in public events every so often, but damn…it’s disappointing to see this happen at such a chill, relaxed communal event, people are just trying to come watch live music and eat at food trucks with their families.

2023.06.10 06:02 nctmods [POLL] Should r/NCT join the blackout on June 12-14th to protest Reddit’s API changes?
Hi all,
As you probably know, a recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users. In response, a large number of subs on this platform will be turning private (i.e. “going dark”) for 48 hours starting June 12th in protest to these changes.
We understand that this is a lot of information to process and a complicated and fast-developing affair. So while we have discussed the blackout as a mod team amongst ourselves, we want to reach out to you, our community members, and hear your thoughts and opinions on joining the blackout. To provide some context and help make an informed decision, we’re going to break down some key points. The poll on NCT's participation in the blackout is below.
By far the most affected group will be the disability community, specifically blind and visually impaired folks. Reddit simply does not provide them with the accessibility features they need - the tools that would make browsing and using the platform 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 also mod their subs.
This change also goes beyond affecting the user experience; it will impact how effectively moderators on this platform can perform mod actions. A lot of mods teams depend on external tools that are exclusively available outside of the official app and website to maintain their communities and keep things organized and tidy. Modding on the official Reddit app is cumbersome and buggy, and the changes to fix this have been notoriously slow to come. All this adds stress to already worn-thin mod teams on this platform, who volunteer their time to help their communities thrive. We may also be losing (partially or fully) other valuable resources that rely on accessing Reddit’s API, like Reveddit and Unddit.
Today (the 9th), the CEO of Reddit held an AMA to address the top concerns around the API changes, to an unsatisfying result, further breaking the trust between the platform's users and its admins - please see the ModCoord's summary and response here.
The plan as it stands now: on June 12th PST 12am (4pm KST) many subreddits will turn private and will be inaccessible to users. The blackout will span 48 hours, however, some subs will remain closed indefinitely, until they feel proper recourse is taken by Reddit to effectively address their concerns. For more information please visit ModCoord and Save3rdPartyApps.
If NCT were to join in, after the 48 hours we would open back up and allow content that happened during that period to be posted retroactively. The sister sub memeculturetechnology will also go private.
NCity events during this period:
This poll will remain open for 48 hours.

We understand that this is a lot of information to process and a complicated and fast-developing affair. So while we have discussed the blackout as a mod team amongst ourselves, we want to reach out to you, our community members, and hear your thoughts and opinions on joining the blackout. To provide some context and help make an informed decision, we’re going to break down some key points. The poll on NCT's participation in the blackout is below.
What exactly is going on?
In April, Reddit announced updates to their API data. API (Application Programming Interface) is basically the system that allows programs to communicate. In this case, it’s how apps receive and send data to and from Reddit. Third-party apps - Apollo, RiF (Reddit is Fun), Infinity, and BaconReader to name a few of the big ones - have been allowed access to API for no cost, which in turn allowed these TPAs to provide users with a more personalized, functional, and seamless mobile experience. Reddit followed up with the figures on how much they’d be charging for API requests starting July 1st, revealing an obscenely large price and a short timeframe that will essentially kill all third-party apps. iOS app Apollo announced its upcoming closure, as did Reddit is Fun for Android. The Apollo dev, Christian, made an informative post where he gives his thoughts as well as breaks down the logistics and costs involved. He estimates that Reddit's new pricing will cost Apollo $20 million a year, and the RiF dev echoes that it will be in the same ballpark for them.How will this impact me as a Reddit user?
While we don’t have any data on how many of our users rely on TPAs to access Reddit and NCT, we do know it’s a non-zero number. These users will be cut off from viewing and participating in content unless they switch over to the official Reddit app. Even if you don’t use these apps or only browse via desktop, this new policy reveals that Reddit is further shifting away from its historically user-driven/focused core.By far the most affected group will be the disability community, specifically blind and visually impaired folks. Reddit simply does not provide them with the accessibility features they need - the tools that would make browsing and using the platform 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 also mod their subs.

What are the mod team's thoughts and course of action, should the community choose to join the blackout?
The majority of our mod team feels that even the blackout will likely not result in any changes from Reddit, joining for the third-party app developers, disability community, mods, and users of this platform to show solidarity is reason enough. But, we also acknowledge that you guys might feel differently, as for many of you, this this sub is a resource and a safe place to visit. Thus, we wanted to open up a dialogue to get a read on your thoughts regarding joining the blackout, as well as to address any concerns regarding accessibility and third-party app use within our corner of k-pop Reddit.The plan as it stands now: on June 12th PST 12am (4pm KST) many subreddits will turn private and will be inaccessible to users. The blackout will span 48 hours, however, some subs will remain closed indefinitely, until they feel proper recourse is taken by Reddit to effectively address their concerns.

2023.06.10 05:49 Yiu-On Boring recruitment post
Blah blah $10K Ferris wheel. We’re recruiting. Blah blah.
We’re the Isla Vista Community Relations Committee, or IVCRC for short. We give free money to people so they can do cool stuff with it and bring folks together.
And we’re looking for writers, artists, engineers, planners, organizers, outcasts, leaders, misfits, fixers, dreamers, and even Redditors (gasp) to join us next year. This is not a full-time job, but it’ll be helpful if you treat it as at least a part-time responsibility.
If you’re on time to meetings, commit to more than just getting out of bed every morning, and recognize that the usual is not always useful, then we’d love to have you.
Here’s what we have for you:
Again, apply here by Sunday, June 11, 11:59pm: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefsXYnsXubkWn_D6uJbZiKfbXlbWtJTm94yeTRVIwYJkYarw/viewform

Find the announcement post hereIMPORTANT- This is the discussion post for re-readers, who are done with the full Book of the Fallen series. To discuss events outside these, say from NOTME, PtA or Kharkhanas, please use spoiler tags. If you're not sure if your info belongs to MBOTF or not, just go ahead and use spoiler tags anyway.
Prologue
Scene 1
This is our first introduction to the Snake storyline. It consists of a train of refugee children who are fleeing the provinces of Kolanse and are heading west. We are at the Elan Plain and the leader of this column of children is the oldest boy there, Rutt, aged about 13 or 14. He carries a small baby called Held while making sure she is protected from the sun by wrapping her well. Most of our PoV here is Badalle- a girl with green eyes and a way with words. The landscape is very desolate and it looks like Rutt is surprised every morning that they 'still live.'Badalle describes various people/animals etc using unusual words. You can figure out most on your own, but could be a little frustrating, so if you would like to know-
Ribbers are dogs, Fathers are adults, Quitters/bones skins/Inquisitors are Forkrul Assail
She has come up from the south along Stump Road to join the rest of the Snake. She considers Rutt as the head of the snake and its fangs too. None of the children ask him where they are headed because it is the belief that he knows that is important.
We get the PoV of a 14 year old Visto who knows what the Fathers do to the children they steal away at night, because he has seen small bones in their campfires. The boy is full of a parasite called Satra Riders which would sooner or later burst out and kill him. He is impatient for the relief of death, and hopes atleast a ribber eats him and gets infected.
At the end of the day, Badalle looks back at the line of bodies of dead children they have left behind. The Snake of ribs is called Chal Managal in the Elan tongue. Don't skip her poems.
Scene 2
In the Wastelands, there is a nest of K'Chain Che'Malle called Ampelas Rooted. Our PoV here is the last surviving Elan tribal called Kalyth. When her settlement was attacked she fled the scene and feels guilty about her selfishness in abandoning her family. Alonmgside, we get description of this nest where the lower level is called Root, then Feed (where food is grown in the form of fungi and orthen- a type of rodents) then the Womb (where young ones undergo surgeries and are differentiated into factions according to the needs of the Nest), then to Heart which is guarded by Ve'Gath soldiers (these are purely for warfare and the Matron has been producing a lot of them, indicating that war is coming soon). From there she moves to Eyes, Inner Keep, Acyl Nest - home of the Matron. The final guard she meets is Brenigan, a 1000 year old J'an sentinel.Sag'Churok and Gunth Mach have returned, and they report failure. Redmask was not the correct choice, and that Kalyth, who is acknowledged as a Destriant to the K'Chain, has made an error in choosing him. She, alongwith a small group of Guardians, is instructed to join this round of Seeking. She refuses but the Matron is adamant that they will find a Mortal Sword and Shield Anvil among humans. The adventure party consists of Sag'Churok, Gunth Mach, 2 more K'ell Hunters and a Shi'gal Assassin. The addition of the Assassin probably indicates that the Matron means business this time.
Quick note about the Shi'gal- there are always three present with the Matron because 2 alone might conspire among themselves and kill the Matron or each other. Sending away one of the Assassins is a huge risk, so maybe the Matron is descending into madness.
By spending all this time with the K'Chain, Kalyth has been given the gifts of their language and a higher percipience through oils.
Shi'gal Gu'Rull is sure that the Matron Acyl is insane. He considers humans, especially Kalyth, as weak. Since they returned empty handed from the west (Redmask), and the North is a realm of ice, they are to journey South. He takes off to do some advance scouting. He is flying out of Ampelas after 8 short centuries.
Scene 3
At the Wastelands, a ghost travels with a small group. They eat stringy meat from scaled rodents and a type of rhizan. As a ghost he flits from one person to the next and finds innate resolve and strength.Sheb declares that all empty lands are useless and one day all cities should be merged into one. Last, who is a farmer, says that there won't be food if there are no farms. Before they can argue, Asane tells them not to fight. Sheb yells at her and Nappet defends her. He threatens to cut out his tongue because he knows nobody would object. Rautos (yes, familiar name) complains about his wife. Breath thinks he killed his wife by holding her underwater and drowning her. Drowning seeme to be her pet subject. At a distance they notice a massive narrow edifice. Taxilian (yes, another familiar name) wants to go check it out. The ghost is content to go alongwith them. He finds that Taxilian's curiosity is strong enough to overcome any misgivings from the others.
Now, you can go back and read this section again or click here to get an explanation. Or keep reading if you like a challenge.
the capemoths overhead note a lone, green skinned figure who talks with seven voices. He carries a sword but is naked and he is lost, maybe for weeks, maybe months. Many of us miss this and so the rest of the Ghost sections can be very confusing
Scene 4
After a long time we meet Heboric. He has plenty of visions.- A short tail K'Chain looking at a dragon nailed to a huge wooden lattice, with the nails painted a "rust colour". The dragon is denied death and has been bleeding and suffering, while the short tail seems satisfied.
- Two wolves watch him from a ridge as he walks towards a number of statues in the distance.
- Overhead there are drifting stars from which faint voices are heard. As he stares he is unbalanced and floats up.
- Looking down, he sees more stars which give up a dozen suns of green fire that grew in size and sound as it neared him.
- He sees Fener, a cast down god who is trapped like him. Both are in the way of the jade suns. Heboric accepts all of it as "The Abyss cares nothing for us."
Behold, my friends, I am justice.
And when at last we meet, you will not like it.
And if irony awakens in you at the end, see me weep with these tears of jade, and answer with a smile.
If you’ve the courage.
Have you, my friends, the courage?

2023.06.10 05:42 kashmora Dust of Dreams: general introduction and reminders
Compiled by u/zhilia_mann and extensively revised by u/Loleeeee.
DoD does have a climax, but it feels more like the mid-book climax that is Y'ghatan in The Bonehunters chapter 7. It's monumental, it changes things, but it doesn't reach out and incorporate disparate storylines or tie together themes. It also arrives incredibly suddenly and catches me off guard even when I know what's coming.
More generally, DoD takes its time. Erikson continues to lean in to the slow character moments that characterize Toll the Hounds, but now does so with the urgency dictated by the imminent conclusion of the series. Theme drives DoD as much as plot -- to the extent that some readers like to claim that basically nothing happens.
There are two specific things to look out for as you read. First, there's a specific plot that seems very odd if you don't catch one hint in the prologue. In order to not give away the game, u/kashmora and I have decided to discuss that plot in more detail under spoiler tags in order to maintain a balance between spoon-feeding the reveal and actually having something to say.
Second, there's a notorious event in chapter 15. It's effectively foreshadowed and won't come as a huge shock, but it's brutal. If any previous sexual violence has bothered you, this is guaranteed to turn your stomach. It's handled respectfully, but it's vile. As the chapter approaches, we will likely give lines and timestamps to stop and then restart reading if you feel you just can't do it.
I genuinely like Dust of Dreams (and, unusually, tend to rate it over The Crippled God). But it's an experience.
In a similar timeframe, Icarium Lifestealer activated a strange machine with far-reaching consequences, one of the many among which being levelling an entire city block and killing - among others - Taxilian, Senior Assessor, Taralack Veed, and Rautos Hivanar.
The Errant was bound to Feather Witch through a temple sanctified in his name, and though he eventually won out - drowning Feather Witch in the fetid waters beneath Letheras - he lost his eye. The loss of power stings, and due to a combination of factors, the Errant craves a return to his ancient power. Also, Brys Beddict has returned to the world of the living.
There's a whole lot of skykeeps within the Imperial Warren, as well as a handful of dragons nailed to crosses throughout the books - among them, an "otataral dragon" as witnessed by Pearl & Lostara in House of Chains, and Sorrit, a dragon aspected to Serc, as found by Icarium & Mappo in the Bonehunters.
Redmask failed - and died - in whatever quest the K'Chain Che'Malle set to him, and it seems they're getting desperate.
Silchas Ruin set off to attack Letheras but was beaten back - chiefly by a few well-placed cussers to the face. "Fucking dragon."
Note: Given the extensive Dramatis and the convergence of dozens of threads in this pre-final book, we are stopping the intro here. We plan to update more and expand this further as we keep reading.

Reminders for Dust of Dreams
Notes on half a book
Dust of Dreams is an odd read. It hasn't seen the reconsideration that Toll the Hounds has; it's ranked ninth in our last reader survey. The Author's Note at the beginning spells out some of the reasons:Dust of Dreams is the first half of a two-volume novel, to be concluded with The Crippled God. Accordingly, if you’re looking for resolutions to various story-threads, you won’t find them. Also, do note that there is no epilogue and, structurally, Dust of Dreams does not follow the traditional arc for a novel.He's not kidding. But that's not the whole story.

Characters
Since Dust of Dreams picks up largely where Reaper's Gale left off, we have a somewhat limited cast of new characters. That said, a) we continue to expand on the Lether continent and b) we're bringing back characters we haven't seen since The Bonehunters.Gods and Ascendants
Elder
- Errastas: The Errant, Master of Holds. Likes to "push" and claims that to be his nature.
- Kilmandaros: Primarily known for pummeling her problems into dust. Mother of Sechul Lath.
- Sechul Lath: Knuckles, the Lord of Chance and Mischance. He, like his mother, seems to have extra joints and a horizontally hinged sternum.
- Mael: Bugg, Tehol's one-time man-servant and now Ceda, Chancellor, and Treasurer. Also the god of the sea.
- Ursto Hoobutt and Pinosel: Ancient gods of beer, wine, and fertility.
- Olar Ethil: Goddess and Soletaken Eleint Bonecaster of the T'lan Imass.
- Togg and Fanderay: The Wolves of Winter, gods of war and current occupants of the Beast Throne. Worshiped by the Perish Grey Helms and, before their destruction, the Grey Swords under Toc Anaster.
- Grizzin Farl: An ancient god, now disappeared.
- Tiam (or T'iam, or Tiamatha): Goddess of dragons.
New Gods and Ascendants
- Hood: You remember Hood, right? The Jaghut god of death that just died himself?
- D'rek: The Worm of Autumn, goddess of decay.
- Dessembrae: Lord of Tragedy. Divine aspect of Dassem Ultor.
- Shadowthrone and Cotillion: God of Shadow and the Rope, Patron of Assassins. Schemey plotters.
Letherii
- Tehol (the Only) is now the King of Lether
- Janath Anar is his Queen
- Brys Beddict titled a Prince now, Commander of the Letherii Army
- Aranict a promising High Mage, Atri-Ceda
The Wanderers
- Last: An ex-Letherii farmer. Lived with his father after his mother died when he was young. A big but meek fellow.
- Asane: A meek Letherii woman. Talked down upon by both Nappet & Sheb.
- Sheb: An ex-convict. Sentenced to what amounts to a death sentence, he survived prison, though was significantly changed for it.
- Rautos: A man with scant few memories, reminiscings of his wife, and a familiar name.
- Taxilian: An architect from the city of Taxila, Seven Cities, also with a familiar name.
- Nappet: Another Letherii ex-convict. He's a bully.
- Breath: A Letherii witch that's filled with spite & thoughts of drowning.
- The Ghost: An unnamed character that can move between the Wanderers at will. Has peculiar memories, though is presumably incorporeal.
The Refugium
- Rud Elalle: Son of Menandore and Udinaas, growing up very fast (think Silverfox).
- Ulshun Pral: A leader of the Bentract Imass of the Refugium. Son of Onrack T'emlava and Kilava Onas.
- Seren Pedac: Acquitor and budding mage of Mockra, Trull's widow.
- Udinaas: Former slave to the Sengar household and former confidant of Rhulad. Dark, cynical, but way too insightful.
The 14th and its Allies
Malazan Leadership
- Lostara Yil: Former Red Blade, former lover of the Claw Pearl, now Tavore's right hand in T'amber's place. Trained in the Shadowdance.
- Blistig: Former commander of the Aren Guard, now Fist under Tavore.
- Kindly and Pores: The notorious captain and his long-suffering lieutenant, and/or Master Sergeant, and/or Quartermaster.
Marines
- Keneb: Fist who led the defense of Froth Wolf and Silanda in Malaz City. Detached to the Marines.
- Faradan Sort: Keneb's second in command. May have stood the Stormwall in the past.
- Bottle, Cuttle, Smiles, Koryk, Tarr, and Corabb Bhilan Thenu'alas: Fiddler's squad. Bottle is still a mage who can control animals and Corabb is still Oponn's favorite. 4th squad, 9th company.
- Gesler, Stormy, Sands, Shortnose, Flashwit, Uru Hela, and Mayfly: Gesler's squad, almost entirely composed of heavies. 5th squad, 9th company.
- Hellian, Touchy, Brethless, Balgrid, Tavos Pond, Maybe, and Lutes: Hellian's squad. Hellian is a drunk and has arachnophobia. Touchy and Brethless, her two corporals, have served under her since way back in Kartool. 8th squad, 9th company.
- Thom Tissy, Tulip, Ramp, Jibb, Gullstream, Mudslinger, and Bellig Harn: 12th squad, 9th company under Thom Tissy.
- Urb, Reem, Bowl, Hanno, Saltlick, and Scant: 13th squad, 9th company. Urb earned his own squad after dragging Hellian out of Y'ghatan, an event she still periodically wants to kill him over.
- Pravalak Rim, Honey, Strap Mull, Shoaly, Sinter, Kisswhere, and Lookback: 4th squad, 3rd company.
- Badan Gruk, Ruffle, Skim, Nep Furrow, Reliko, and Vastly Blank: The heavily Dal Honese 5th squad, 3rd company. Nep Furrow is a bush warlock, who talks in an incomprehensible accent.
- Primly, Hunt, Mulvan Dreader, Neller, Skulldeath, and Drawfirst: 10th squad, 3rd company.
New Bridgeburners
- Hedge: previously dead, now seemingly alive, Bridgeburner.
Other Soldiers
- Cord, Shard, Limp, Ebron, Crump, and Sinn: 7th squad, 9th company, largely former Ashok Regiment. Sinn is a traumatized girl and high mage. Crump's actual name is Jamber Bole, High Marshal of the Mott Irregulars.
- Balm, Deadsmell, Throatslitter, Galt, Lobe, and Widdershins: This humble writer's favorite squad, the 9th, 9th company. Deadsmell is a mage of Hood. Throatslitter's laugh can nearly kill all on its own.
- Masan Gilani: Dal Honese heavy and excellent rider. She has... other charms. Technically in Urb's squad?
Civilians
- Banaschar: Former high priest of D'rek, the Worm of Autumn. Stole the entire temple coffers after D'rek killed her followers (except Tayschrenn and Banaschar himself).
- Withal: "Foreigner" from The Bonehunters and the Meckros blacksmith who made Rhulad's sword for the Crippled God.
- Sandalath Drukorlat: Tiste Andii wife of Withal. First killed long ago, her soul was released by the Crimson Guards traveling with Seren Pedac in Midnight Tides. She was restored as a companion for Withal and it didn't go well at first. Now they're married, so something worked out?
- Grub: Keneb's adopted son. Walked the Chain of Dogs. Now the only friend of Sinn. Has a knack for saying prophetic things. Oh, and there's an epigraph in House of Chains (Chapter 19, if you're curious) that identifies him as a future First Sword of the Malazan Empire.
Khundryl Burned Tears
- Warleader Gall: still headed by him
- Hanavat: his wife
Perish Grey Helms
- Mortal Sword Krughava: Fifty-odd years old Mortal Sword of the Wolves of Winter (you may recall that Toc held that title in conjunction with Krughava).
- Shield Anvil Tanakalian: Shield Anvil of the Grey Helms. Homesick, young, and with some curious ideas about his role.
- Destriant Run'Thurvian: Destriant of the Grey Helms. Befriended Fist Keneb in the Bonehunters. Doesn't hold Tanakalian in particularly high esteem.
K'Chain Che'Malle and Associates
We meet a surviving nest - Ampelas Rooted - headed by Matron Gunth'an Acyl. She is guarded by J'an Sentinels (Bre'nigan), K'ell Hunters (Sag'Churok, Kor Thuran, Rythok) and Shi'gal Assassins (Gu'Rull). Her One Daughter is called Gunth Mach who was last seen cutting down Redmask at the end of RG, along with Sag'Churok.The Snake
A group of refugee children on the run from Kolanse, marching through hostile lands and suffering from hunger and thirst. The train is led by the oldest/tallest boy among them, called Rutt. He carries a baby called Held. His second in command is Badalle, who is also our main Snake POV character. Other notable children among them are Saddic who follows Badalle and commits her poems to memory; Brayderal who seems pale inspite of the harsh sun.The Shake
- Yedan Derryg: Half-brother to Yan Tovis. Known for a chiseled jaw.
- Yan Tovis: Preda at Shake Tower, also called Twilight.
- Pully and Skwish: Ancient Shake witches.
White Face Barghast and Associates
- Onos Toolan: Warleader of the White Face Barghast. You may note, technically not Barghast.
- Hetan: His wife. Daughter of the late Humbrall Taur.
- Cafal: Hetan's brother and Great Warlock of the White Faces.
- Setoc (of the Wolves): Known as Stayandi. A Letherii child and sole survivor of Redmask's attack in Reaper's Gale. Now a wolf-born child with an innate connection to wolves.
- Maral Eb:Chief of the Barahn clan of the White Faces
- Sekara (the Vile): It's in the name, really.
T'lan Imass
- Nom Kala: Bonecaster of the Brold T'lan Imass.
The Bolkando
- Chancellor Rava: Chancellor of the Bolkando Kingdom. Is oddly attracted to Felash. Is also in his seventies while Felash is fourteen.
- Conquestor Avalt: Military commander of the Bolkando Army with the glaring exception of the Evertine Legion. A decent military commander and he looks the part.
- Queen Abrastal: also called Firehair, commands the Evertine legion, co-ruler of the Bolkando lands
- Princess Felash: 14th daughter of Queen Abrastal, deemed the cleverest by her mother, 14 years old, away from the kingdom on a diplomatic mission.
Forkrul Assail
There are Pures, Watered and Shriven. The Pures are - as the name suggests - pure-blooded Forkrul Assail. The Watered are hybrids of Forkrul Assail and other races - often humans - while the Shriven refer to any race that doesn't have enough Forkrul blood to be considered Watered. The Shriven are essentially the slave caste of the Forkrul.Other
- Icarium: Half-Jaghut son of Gothos. Cursed to forget but immensely powerful.
Wait, what's going on again? What you need to know to start reading.
The Malaz 14th - now Tavore's Bonehunters - invaded the Letherii Empire, ostensibly as a punitive expedition against the Tiste Edur raiding on Imperial lands (namely, Sepik). At the same time, due to machinations by Tehol Beddict, in conjunction with the Malazan invasion, Letherii society was in intense upheaval which ended in a defacto revolution placing Tehol at the head of the Kingdom of Lether.In a similar timeframe, Icarium Lifestealer activated a strange machine with far-reaching consequences, one of the many among which being levelling an entire city block and killing - among others - Taxilian, Senior Assessor, Taralack Veed, and Rautos Hivanar.
The Errant was bound to Feather Witch through a temple sanctified in his name, and though he eventually won out - drowning Feather Witch in the fetid waters beneath Letheras - he lost his eye. The loss of power stings, and due to a combination of factors, the Errant craves a return to his ancient power. Also, Brys Beddict has returned to the world of the living.
There's a whole lot of skykeeps within the Imperial Warren, as well as a handful of dragons nailed to crosses throughout the books - among them, an "otataral dragon" as witnessed by Pearl & Lostara in House of Chains, and Sorrit, a dragon aspected to Serc, as found by Icarium & Mappo in the Bonehunters.
Redmask failed - and died - in whatever quest the K'Chain Che'Malle set to him, and it seems they're getting desperate.
Silchas Ruin set off to attack Letheras but was beaten back - chiefly by a few well-placed cussers to the face. "Fucking dragon."

2023.06.10 05:36 thehypotheticalnerd Secret Wars (2015) Tie-Ins: better to read them in full groups or spread out over the whole event?
For instance, is it better to read all of the issues of Siege or X-Men 92 or Renew Your Vows or whatever other tie-ins as one block (#1-5, etc) , or more chronologically space between Secret Wars issues, an tie-in here, a tie-in there? Sometimes it's fun to go fairly chronologically, peeling apart all the different layers... and other times, it makes it very easy to lose track of where anyone is and what people were doing the last time you saw them.
On the one hand, reading them in chunks gives you each of their story in one go without worrying about losing track of their various plots... but doing so then creates much larger gaps between the MAIN issues.
On the other, spreading them out means shorter gaps between MAIN issues... but now more moving parts at any given time.
I will NOT be reading all the tie-ins... just a few of the highly recommended ones (Siege, Thors, Cap Brit, Infinity Gauntlet, Renew Your Vows) plus some others so it's not going to be totally exhaustive, but yeah.

2023.06.10 05:30 Dismal-Meringue3762 Fundraiser for the church?
I was at an event in SLC today. A woman introduced herself to a small group, and she said her profession is being a fundraiser for the LDS church. It took everything in me to not spit out my drink, laugh, and ask her why tf the lds church needs employees whose sole purpose is to raise funds. Why?!

2023.06.10 05:25 Upbeat-Protection-51 I hate everyone, everything, and life
Pretty plain and simple. I hate life. I am a sophomore in college and i wanted to kill myself sophomore year of highschool, I stuck it through, obviously, it I have simply learned I hate everyone and every thing. I thoguht things will ups get better, but they don’t. Everyone I talk to is a total dick to me since I’m overweight and stuttering (I lost 50lbs for a while and noticed a massive difference in how I was treated.) I’ve had the stutter my whole life and nothing has fixed it, no one likes to talk to me because of how it takes me so long to talk.
I thought college was going to be better, but it ended up with me getting left out of pretty much everything, even in a friend group that “cared” for me. I was robbed at gunpoint on my campus, and a girl I was talking to tried to control my actions by serving ultimatums of hanging out with other dudes or slitting her wrist to control me, and I would have to help clean up the mess.
I’m tired of it. No one talks to me unless I start the conversation, no one wants to hang out with me unless it is a common event (big party) or unless I try to make plans and stress over them.
I have one good friend, they are amazing and I love them to the moon and back, but it simply keeps getting worse. If there were no consequences I seriouslywould roam around and tell everyone off and get really nasty.
I’ve tried therapy twice, the first one said I wanted to kill myself because I had a gluten/dairy allergy (news flash, I don’t) and the one I’m currently with is barely even helping because they are about to graduate and can fuck off and do whatever.
I feel like shit all the time, my head is constantly running with thoughts, I can barely even enjoy being around other people like my family and I just finished a week at the beach thanks to them for taking me and i feel like a total dick for being irritable/distanced.
I am in a fraternity, but will most likely go inactive at the start of this semester, which leaves me in an awkward spot for housing as I live with people associated with the chapter and kinda the “leftovers.”
I’ve tried medication, but it makes me extremely angry, not in a violent way but I will start fuming over small issues when they shouldn’t be an issue.
At this point I’m about to give up, and it already feels like I have. I hate everyone, everything, and life. Nothing gives me joy besides getting extremely crossed and hoping something gets better. I’ve even tried sobriety, and even 2 months of that has not helped.

2023.06.10 05:24 OkButterscotch7679 Hit with the "I'll let you know" for third date after date was "rescheduled" due to bad situation. How should I move forward?
How to move forward with this?
So me and this girl go to same college or did as I am transferring now. We knew of eachother for almost 8 months but never got really close despite hanging within a group of friends a couple of times. I had not seen her in a few months but run into eachother last day of semester. We talked hanged out that day and continued to text over the next week. I ask her out and she agrees.
First Date goes amazing. One more week of texting and second date happens, goes okay not as good as first though. Both lasted around 5 hours with multiple places included. We plan our third date for Yesterday and continue texting throughout the week leading up to the date. This texting she seems way more into it and enthusiastic than normal which was a good sign to me.
As you know the Canada fire happens, and NYC gets killed with smoke and makes the outside unbearable. While texting I bring up the fact of the weather as our date was for an outdoors event offer to go somewhere else or reschedule if the even is canceled. She says she’s unsure about our date tomorrow because of the weather and we agree to check tomorrow how it is. So tomorrow happens, (The day of date) and we text in the morning as usual and I ask her what she was thinking of the weather and that I could go today or wait for the weekend if she felt uncomfortable. She doesn’t respond to that for 4 hours and the time of the date is coming up shortly, so I double text to tell her we should go during the weekend as the air quality is still bad unless she’s not free then we’ll go today and to let me know if we’re still going today as the event is an hour away from me so I could start making my way there.
Doesn’t respond until she gets off work which was around the time I was supposed to meet her, that she’s so sorry and that she got busy at work and that she’ll let me know for what day during The Weeknd. I responded with a heart reaction and to just let me know and that any day of the weekend would work. This morning we texted as usual I don't bring up the date at all but we text really chill briefly and a she seemed into it for the most part but did not mention anything however I ended it shortly.
At this point I am pretty sure she is not going to let me know anything. Should I just cut all contact with her? We usually daily text with me initiating it most of it? Im either thinking of texting her through the week like normal and try to set up another date. Or just stop initiating contact and in a week or so text to see her energy.

Im either thinking of texting her through the week like normal and try to set up another date. Or just stop initiating contact and in a week or so text to see her energy.
2023.06.10 05:23 OkButterscotch7679 Hit with the "I'll let you know" for third date after date was "rescheduled" due to bad situation. How should I move forward?
How to move forward with this?
So me and this girl go to same college or did as I am transferring now. We knew of eachother for almost 8 months but never got really close despite hanging within a group of friends a couple of times. I had not seen her in a few months but run into eachother last day of semester. We talked hanged out that day and continued to text over the next week. I ask her out and she agrees. First Date goes amazing. One more week of texting and second date happens, goes okay not as good as first though. Both lasted around 5 hours with multiple places included. We plan our third date for Yesterday and continue texting throughout the week leading up to the date. This texting she seems way more into it and enthusiastic than normal which was a good sign to me.
As you know the Canada fire happens, and NYC gets killed with smoke and makes the outside unbearable. While texting I bring up the fact of the weather as our date was for an outdoors event offer to go somewhere else or reschedule if the even is canceled. She says she’s unsure about our date tomorrow because of the weather and we agree to check tomorrow how it is. So tomorrow happens, (The day of date) and we text in the morning as usual and I ask her what she was thinking of the weather and that I could go today or wait for the weekend if she felt uncomfortable. She doesn’t respond to that for 4 hours and the time of the date is coming up shortly, so I double text to tell her we should go during the weekend as the air quality is still bad unless she’s not free then we’ll go today and to let me know if we’re still going today as the event is an hour away from me so I could start making my way there.
Doesn’t respond until she gets off work which was around the time I was supposed to meet her, that she’s so sorry and that she got busy at work and that she’ll let me know for what day during The Weeknd. I responded with a heart reaction and to just let me know and that any day of the weekend would work. This morning we texted as usual I don't bring up the date at all but we text really chill briefly and a she seemed into it for the most part but did not mention anything however I ended it shortly.

2023.06.10 05:22 DrummerMan13 Possible reclassifying of PSA groups?
During the 2023 season WGI promoted a total of 22 groups to PSA. Starting at the Indi regional the first place prelims group (Kickapoo) was promoted followed by later that evening the next three groups in prelims PSA (Hamilton SE, Franklin Comm., and Northview). This was an extremely rare event to happen, especially since in happened in between prelims and finals. Later, 16 more groups would be promoted in a similar fashion at other events. This seems like an interesting thing to focus on, is wgi trying to change the skill difficulty of scholastic percussion classes? To me it seems like PSA has become a joke now with all the front runners promoted, which I think is wrong, I think that A class should be filled with good groups that are competitive and fun to watch. I mean just look at the finals scores which are way lower than last years groups at the same positions (I believe). This seems interesting though, does anyone have any answers?

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.
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.
(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.
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.)
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.

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:- Tools for web accessibility, such as many screen readers
- Tools improving quality of life, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite
- Alternative mobile apps, such as Apollo, Reddit Is Fun, Narwhal, BaconReader and RedReader
- And tools for Reddit moderation, such as toolbox.
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.

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.)

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.

2023.06.10 05:15 Infinite_Work4553 Jimmy Angel near campus
Folks, I happened to see a gentleman who visited campus in recent weeks. I was on my way to class and commented on his Elvis hairdo.
He has been performing as a singer and Elvis tribute artists since the 1950's. Apparently he was friends with some big names like Pat Boone among others.
He told me he works as a singer at some restaurant I've only heard of once but never visited called The Smokehouse every first Saturday of each month.
I had to ask him why he is working so hard at his age, and he told me he has no family. He only has a teddy bear and his late mother's photos as his sentiments. He wants to make his mother proud by going out swinging full force and fighting on in life. This gig is what he is passionate about and knows best how to do.
I gave him a big hug and he handed me his business card.
I'm sharing this all with you because no matter where you are at. No matter how hopeless you feel during these trying times especially exacerbated by finals week, be certain that you must do your best no matter what in life. Have clarity on your goals.
While taking a study break one night I looked up this unsung talented performer. If you guys are planning dates or group get together please consider looking this guy up and celebrating him. He's in his late 80s.
I wish one of these Greek life houses would hire him for some sort of 50s night or an alumni association event to celebrate old classes could. I don't mean to be a promoter, that's not my thing but you can't help but feel for someone going out swinging on their way to the end.
