2023.06.10 20:46 Boggerson [FNV] Tale of Two Wastelands crashing on fast travel to Rivet City

To Start off, I have had a few problems with crashing, but none were as consistent as this. I am in Paradise Falls trying to fast travel to Rivet City, and I have disabled each of my graphics mods 10 at a time with no success at stopping the crashing. My mod list and load order are below. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

James Marshall – Dating Accelerator

Why Most Guys Never See Any Results and what to do about it
If you’ve just started out on your seduction journey, it’s perfectly normal to be completely confused about how to seduce beautiful women.
The Dating Accelerator – a comprehensive online video course by James Marshall is the perfect place to start.
In this 3-week program you’ll learn the fundamentals of approaching beautiful women, getting numbers and going on dates, with lifetime access to all video modules to return to as you develop in skill and results.

Learn the Fundamentals of Approaching

This field-tested course will guide you step-by-step on how to start approaching and meeting women in your everyday life.
  • Even if you’re a complete beginner
  • Even if you’ve never cold-approached before
  • Even if you have no idea where to start

Why isn’t everybody dating beautiful women?

Before I explain the course, I’m going to let you in on a little secret that men don’t talk about.
Most men spend their lives living with ‘oneitis’, an obsession with one girl they know (and often repeating this pattern with another girl every year or so).
They have their eye on a girl who’s ‘special’. Which means she’s not like the rest, in fact she’s better than any other girl out there. He hopes that one day he’s going to finally confess his love for her, and she’ll fall head over heels in love with them.

The brutal truth about your dating life

Meanwhile, some guys have managed to convince themselves that they’ve got their dating life ‘under control’. Things are going ‘according to plan’.
Girls sometimes check them out when they’re at a bar with friends, they have a couple of options they could ‘make a move on’ in their social circle, and of course, the ace up their sleeve – Tinder.

2023.06.10 20:37 2waterparks1price Elias is a genius

Team is competing. Young core.
Graduate top prospects, more fall into the top 100.
Player development clearly lightyears better than recent memory.
Really solid low risk acquisitions + development in Cano, Urias, Mateo, Wells, Perez, Coloumbe, Gibson, list goes on.
Now, can we please stop acting like it’s a capital offense to suggest that what is going on with Jordan Westburg doesn’t make sense?
Barring some personal issue, there is zero reason to think Westburg couldn’t replace or exceed the production we’re getting from Frazier. Dude has nothing left to prove, and if you want the O’s to make the playoffs you too should question why Elias keeping him down in AAA this long.
You built a sick machine here Mike. Use the tools in your toolbox.
But whatever, bring on the downvotes apparently.

2023.06.10 20:28 RobleViejo Im posting this here because, well Idk where else. Questions about Spiritual Cleansing, White Magic.

I know I know, Magic is only real if you truly believe in it. There is no "White and Black" Magic, is just a tool and each person use it for Good or Evil.
I dont really wanna become a Wicca, I just wanna know how I can cleanse myself Spiritually. Ive never hurt anyone in my Life (only my Family in the form of Emotional Concern for me, I own that), and I would never do Physical Evil. But Ive done some Mental Evil inside my own head. We could call these Addictions of the Mind, is search of Knowledge sometimes you dont know whento stop falling down the Rabbit Hole, and you "stain" your Soul (basically you scar yourself Psychologically). Like you try to swim in the Filth and you get it all over.
I have plenty of good Medical Care, and I know that diet, physical activity and meditation will do the work fixing my Body and Mind, but my Soul... How do I get Spiritual Care? Im not religious, I dont go to Church, I feel some kind of God exists so I have some sort of "Agnostic Faith", but I dont pray or really invest myself into it.Stuff like Entheogens (Shrooms, DMT or Ayahuasca) might be good option, but if Im gonna fill myself with this Spiritual/Chemical Energy, the Leak my Soul has could rupture and let out all the... pus. I dont wanna freak out and start ranting about the state of the Earth and Humanity. Which might sound dumb but are my main traumas, I dont really have Personal problems, the problems of Reality are my Problems. I can change my Life, but I cant change the World's.
Anyhow, I would give my Life before going Dark Side, but I cant just sit and wait for "The Call" to happen. I gotta fix this before IT starts. ("IT" is Global Unrest)
TL;DR: Looking for Magic to Cleanse my Soul. Gotta prepare myself. Disclaimer: I am crazy alright, I know. But not in a Psycho way, more like a Hermit I-speak-to-the-trees way.
I want Peace and Love. I want this World to Live.
Thanks, have a Nice Day.

2023.06.10 20:25 FaZeBonghitz OPMS black pills?

Sup y’all, have never taken Kratom or any opiates before just to preface.
I got 3 OPMS black pills from a head shop ~$25. Should I bother with these my first time??
Everything I’m reading online says it’ll destroy your tolerance. don’t really care about Tolerance I plan on using kratom when I go to bars as a “social lubricant” as psyched Substance put it, which is for me every once in a blue moon.
I’m more concerned about strength. I’ve read they’res like 9 gs worth packed in each of these little fuckers and I don’t want to get to fucked up on them. My plan was to cut it into 1/3rd and start with that. Again not looking to get absolutely fried off these, just want to take the edge off a little.
Your Bias & current tolerance aside, is that a stupid idea for a beginner?

2023.06.10 20:17 jimbobbypaul Ranking the Top 131 FBS Programs of the Last 40 Years: 76. Hawaii

Main hub thread with the full 131 rankings
Hawai’i nei. When I think of Hawaii football, I think of a rich state-wide sporting culture that manifests as 11 warriors flying around the football field. Hawaii’s had an up and down, but very proud, football history. Going 0-12 in 1998 to subsequent 9-4 and 3-9 records the following years might be a perfect microcosm of Rainbow Warrior football. For me, and I’m sure for a lot of other fans, the Colt Brennan Hawaii teams in ‘06 and ‘07 were some of the funnest teams to ever watch, and I look forward to watching games in the new Aloha Stadium once complete.

Hawaii: 0-12 (-76.256) Overall Score: 12366 (76th)
Hawaii’s 0 consensus All-Americans is surprising given the talent of some players that’ve come through the Aloha state. WR Greg Salas led the nation in receiving yards in 2010, catching 119 passes for 1889 yards and 14 TD, but still couldn’t get everyone to say “this guy’s an All-American.” Neither could WR Ashley Lelie, who was 2nd in 2001 with 1713 yards, and led the nation with 19 TD. Not to mention Colt Brennan and some of the other skill position players from those 2006/07 teams. Players aside, Hawaii’s had a healthy rate of winning seasons (20 seasons of .500 win % or better), conference titles (1 every 10 years), players drafted (over 1 a year), and has a winning bowl record, including a 6-4 record in Hawaii Bowls.

Top 5 Seasons

Worst Season: 1998 (0-12 overall, 0-8 WAC)
Hawaii STUNK. Coach Fred von Appen finished his 3 year tenure as head coach with a 5-31 record, with 1998 being Hawaii’s only ever winless season. #24 Arizona, whose coaching staff featured Hawaii coaching expats Dick Tomey, Rich Ellerson, and Bob Wagner, beat the Warriors 27-6 in the opener. It set the tone for the season, as Hawaii went winless while Arizona finished 12-1. After a loss to Utah, 0-20 and 0-28 losses to Arkansas State and SMU put them at 0-4. The closest score the rest of the season season was just 10 points in a 20-30 loss to New Mexico. Worst losses included 13-30 to 3-8 UTEP, 17-45 to 4-8 San Jose State, 12-51 to 5-6 Fresno State, and 21-47 to 3-9 Northwestern. Overall, Hawaii ranked dead last in offense with 12.4 PPG while giving up 35.2 PPG against the 79th ranked Strength of Schedule. In 1999 new head coach June Jones would complete the biggest turnaround in NCAA history, winning 9 games.
This ranks as the 5th worst season ever, by any team, since 1983.
5. 1988 (9-3 overall, 5-3 WAC)
Now let’s take it back 10 years in the past, from 1998 → 1988. Hawaii was a better football team back then. 2x Super Bowl champion kicker Jason Elam, just a freshman at the time, nailed 47 and 23 yard FGs in the 4th quarter in a 27-24 upset of #9 Iowa. A week 6 matchup between 4-0 Hawaii and 4-1 UTEP would determine who’d be Wyoming’s biggest challenger for the WAC title, but UTEP won 42-25. Andy Reid was an OL coach for the Miners at the time. Hawaii did their best to keep pace in the conference, going 7-2 with close wins over San Diego State and the now defunct Long Beach State 49ers. A loss to #16 Wyoming ended any shot at a WAC title, but wins over Air Force and Oregon to end the year were sweet, with Hawaii finishing the year 2-0 against Power 5/6 teams (Iowa and Oregon). QB Warren Jones was one of the best players in the WAC, leading the conference in passer efficiency, throwing 2000+ yards with 19 TD 11 INT, and adding another 669 and 8 TD on the ground.
4. 2001 (9-3 overall, 5-3 WAC)
The 2001 senior class had had enough. From 0-12 in 1998 to 9-4 then 3-9, what the heck did 2001 have in store? Nobody knew. The season opener against FCS team Montana was anyone’s bet, as the Grizzlies were #2 in the FCS rankings. Hawaii won 30-12, but 2 straight one-possession losses had them fall to 1-2. That’s when QB Nick Rolovich and the offense took flight. 3 straight wins including a 66-7 pummeling of UTEP improved Hawaii to 4-2. Hosting David Carr and #18 Fresno State in a packed Aloha Stadium of 38,000, Rolovich threw a 20 yard TD pass with 13 seconds left to win the Golden Screwdriver 38-34. Splitting their next 2 games, Hawaii was 6-3 with 3 of their toughest games left, and Rolovich WENT NUCLEAR. He outdueled Ben Roethlisberger and 7-3 Miami (OH), throwing 7 TD passes in a 52-51 win. That was followed up by a 5 TD performance against Air Force, winning 52-30. And the best was saved for last. Hosting 12-0, #9 BYU, Rolovich had the performance of a lifetime, throwing 8(!!!) TD passes in a 72-45 shocker, blowing the doors off the Cougars in a sold out 50,000 seat Aloha Stadium. Chad Owens had a kick return TD and punt return TD, and set an NCAA record for return yards in a single game with 342. WR Ashley Lelie had a monstrous 8 catches for 262 yards and 2 TD.
But despite the 9-3 record, Hawaii wasn’t invited to a bowl game, which spawned the creation of the Hawaii Bowl in 2002. Rolovich ended the year with 3361 passing yards 34 TD 9 INT, 3rd in the nation in passing TDs.In his last 3 games, Rolovich had 20 passing TD with just 1 INT, arguably the best 3 game stretch by a player in Hawaii history. Ashley Lelie had 84 catches for 1713 yards and 19 TD, and was the 19th overall pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2002 NFL Draft. Backup QB Timmy Chang would go on to become the NCAA’s all time leading passer with 17,072 yards by 2004.
3. 1992 (11-2 overall, 6-2 WAC)
This isn’t the usual Hawaii team you’re used to. They ran the option. They were 2nd in the nation in rushing. The starting RB ran for more yards than the entire team passed for combined. It makes sense when you notice their 6th year offensive coordinator was Paul Johnson, future Navy and Georgia Tech head coach. The season opener featured a 24-21 win against Oregon in Autzen Stadium, following up with a 6-3 win over an Air Force team that finished 1991 in the top 25, and finishing the opening 3-week stretch with a 36-32 win over BYU, who was coming off 3 straight years of top 25 finishes. After a minor setback against Utah, Hawaii reeled off 4 straight wins to improve to 7-1 and be ranked #24, before losing to San Diego State and Marshall Faulk. Thanks to a 42-18 win over Wyoming, Hawaii clinched a share of the WAC title, sharing it with Fresno State and BYU, both of whom Hawaii beat. The regular season finished with a nice 36-23 win over Pitt, and then 27-17 over Illinois in the bowl. Hawaii finished with an 11-2 record, #20 ranking, and 3-0 record against Power 6 (7?) teams. RB Travis Sims set a Hawaii single season record with 1498 rushing yards, on a WAC-best 6.8 YPC.
2. 2006 (11-3 overall, 7-1 WAC)
And here we have the teams everyone knows about. The June Jones/Colt Brennan “throw it every down because you can’t stop us” offenses that turned kids like me into college football fans. A 1-2 start featured understandable losses at Alabama and at Boise State, who finished 13-0. Hawaii won 10 of their last 11, including a win over 8-5 Nevada, a 54-17 win over 9-4 San Jose State, three 50+ point wins over Idaho, Utah State, and Louisiana Tech, a 42-35 win over Purdue, and finally a 41-24 win over Arizona State in the Hawaii Bowl. Those wins, along with losses to Alabama away, a 10 win Oregon State, and an unbeaten Boise State, earned a #22 final ranking in my algorithm. In some ways, this team was better than their 2007 version that went 12-0.
Hawaii led the nation in scoring with 46.9 PPG, with the next closest team averaging just 39.7 (Boise State). There was a bigger difference between Hawaii and 2nd place than 2nd place and 12th place! QB Colt Brennan set an NCAA record for passing efficiency in a season and passing TDs in a season, completing 72.6% of passes for 5549 yards 58 TD and just 12 INT. Brennan finished 6th in Heisman voting and won the Sammy Baugh Trophy and WAC Offensive POTY. RB Nate Ilaoa was a 5’9 245 lb do-it-all freak of nature, rushing for 990 yards and 13 TD on 7.6(!) YPC, and caught 67 passes for 837 yards and 5 TD. For a 245 lb RB, he accumulated 1827 yards and 18 TD on 9.2 yards per touch! WR Davone Bess led with 1220 receiving yards, Jason Rivers was second with 1178, and Ryan-Grice Mullen (2nd in Hawaii career receiving TDs) added 770. All three had 10+ receiving TDs.
Hawaii had 17 punts all season, setting an FBS record for the least amount of punts per game with just 1.2. There were 5 games in which they didn’t punt a single time!
1. 2007 (12-1 overall, 8-0 WAC)
In 2007, a perfect storm of returning talent + easy schedule combined to help Hawaii complete one of the most magical regular seasons we’ve seen from a team. Hawaii went 12-0, with some games being too close for comfort (45-44 OT win over Louisiana Tech, 42-35 OT over San Jose State, 28-26 over Nevada), but ultimately ending with big wins over #17 Boise State and Washington. #14 Hawaii and #17 Boise State played late in the year for the outright WAC title, with Hawaii coming out on top 39-27, outgaining Boise by 200+ yards with 5 passing TD from Brennan. #10 Hawaii played #4 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, but the Bulldogs played like the best team in the nation that night, winning 41-10.
Brennan was invited to New York as a Heisman finalist, finishing 3rd. He completed 70.4% of passes for 4343 yards 38 TD 17 INT, and ran for 8 TD. Brennan finished his career as the NCAA’s all time leader in passing TDs with 131, doing so in just 3 years. Hawaii’s esteemed WR trio went off, with Ryan Grice-Mullen snagging 106 balls for 1372 yards and 13 TD, Davone Bess getting 108 catches for 1266 yards and 12 TD, and Jason Rivers catching 92 passes for 1174 yards and 13 TD. All 3 finished as Hawaii’s top 3 all-time leading receivers: Rivers with 3919 yards, Bess with 3610, and Grice-Mullen with 3370. June Jones was named WAC Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award.
2007 Hawaii nearly missed out on finishing as a top 50 Group of 5 team since 1983 according to my algorithm, but is an honorable mention.

5th Quarter

Will we see the Braddahood return to 06/07 levels any time soon? What do you remember about Colt Brennan and those Hawaii teams? Where do you rank that 2007 Hawaii squad against all-time Group of 5 teams? They were dominant, but against the 11th weakest schedule in football that year. Do you think the ‘06 or ‘92 team was better than the ‘07 team? Who was the best Hawaii player outside of Brennan in the last 20-30 years? And finally, do you think Hawaii’s rank on this list is fair?

2023.06.10 20:16 No_Display5477 I don’t want to give up (long rant)

Hi all, I’m a newer shift supervisor (about 2 months) and I feel like I can’t do anything right. Here’s a long backstory: I’ve been working with Starbucks since I was 16 (now 22) I quit for a year and recently got rehired as a shift 2 months ago at a very high volume drive thru store (not my original store). I’m really struggling with opening shifts especially during peak and I need help. I really enjoy my job and enjoy the people I work with, so I don’t want to quit or give up. My very first day alone right after my SSV training my Sm had me run peak alone and I left sobbing that day, and I sometimes still feel like sobbing after every weekend morning shift. The morning responsibilities I have as a shift at my store are; set up outside patio, count money, date/ pull sandwich’s, put away rtd&e bins , place/put away order, and make cold brew. Which all of this is not a problem during the week but during the weekend is hell. My SM is very adamant about using playbuilder which I use but I still struggle during Peak. I make sure tens are covered before peak that way I can fully support my team and I make sure aces are always in their places for peak but even with a 7 partner play I still fall behind. If we’re lucky we sometimes have that 8th partner to cs during peak, but most of the time I have to flex them off cs and have them help on bar. I’m tired of my SM yelling at me to redeploy when we get slammed. I get confused on what to do when I have 3 people on bar 2 people on drive my SM breathing down my back that they need help on bar but that we need to get the drive line moving and warming is so backed up, so for them to stay planted I ring cafe orders and run food , which just angers my SM. I need advice on what I can be doing to help run peak efficiently and correctly without my SM breathing down my back. And how long did it take you to finally get comfortable as a shift? And any other advice that really helped you guys starting out as a shift. I’m really lost and I want to get better especially since summer is here.

2023.06.10 20:14 Armorwing01 Fan Servant: Berserker Roland

Personal Info-
Real Name: Roland, Orlando
Class: Berserker
Gender: Male
Source: Song of Roland, Orlando Innamorato, Orlando Furioso
Region: France
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Height: 183cm
Weight: 99kg
Parameters-
Strength: A+
Endurance: A+
Agility: B+
Magic Energy: C+
Luck: B
NP: A
Class Skills-
Mad Enhancement: -
See “Personal Skills” Below
Personal Skills-
Bitter Tears from a Love of Love: A
A variant of Mad Enhancement. He can quickly fall in love with a stranger, and is easily shaken when rejected. It’s possible to believe that being so easily rejected is not the fault of the skill but the person, but don’t think about it too much. In return for a weakness towards seduction-type skills and Noble Phantasms, he gains a variety of benefits. When under the Berserker Saint Graph, this Skill is constantly activated and operating at a higher rank, providing “+” modifiers to all Parameters except LCK but sealing another Skill. However, Roland is wild and rabid, blind with rage and only acting as an incarnation of destruction that a Master would struggle to control.
Diamond Body: A
A diamond body with a hardness of 10. Spears, swords, and bows are useless against him. However, there are always weaknesses with these types of legends, and in the case of Roland, that applies to the soles of his feet. How to attack the soles of one’s feet on the battlefield depends on your tactics. Sealed when under the effects of Mad Enhancement.
Monstrous Strength: B
Skill that temporarily grants a rank-up to one's Strength parameter for a time limit determined by the ranking of this Skill. A Skill normally possessed by monsters and beasts, Roland’s unnatural fury and madness was so great that he can temporarily rank up his strength that could uproot trees and swing them around and tear men apart with his bare hands.
Noble Phantasm-
Durandal: Ultimate Unbroken Hallow
Rank: A
Anti-Unit
Lauded for being unbreakable, it is often referred to alongside Excalibur as an indestructible holy sword. The golden hilt contains a number of rare relics that did not exist in Hektor’s time, making it extremely effective as a conceptual weapon. Roland being under the Berserker Saint Graph has morphed it into a darker great-sword he swings around with one hand but lowered the Rank of this sword, unable to preform the miracles it would be able to do if summoned as a Saber.
Motives and attitude towards the Master-
He is Mad, unable to rationalize or properly communicate with others, only able to form simple words and roar in furry and rage on the battlefield at his master’s command but his madness is so great that sometimes a command spell may be necessary to put him back on a leash. His hair has grown long and unkempt but hidden by the pitch-black helmet, armor, and cape that he has donned, however, each ascensions begin to strip parts of his armor away until he’s left nude.
lines for other Servants-
Astolfo/Bradamante: “MY…FRIENDS!”
Charlemagne: “MY…KIIING!”
Hektor: “ANCESTOR!” Mandricardo: “DIIIIEEEE”
Berserker Lancelot: “ME!?”

2023.06.10 20:05 NightFox1988 My boyfriend may have a point, but this still doesn't excuse the bigotry and ignorance

Ok, some time ago I made a post about two of my now former friends after finding out they are bigots. It has been since deleted because it was all over the place. My emotions were off the charts at the time, overall it made me question who I was talking to (still am questioning in a sense), and if I could change their ways on being this stupid.
After reading some posts on Facebook from the wife (who is now blocked), I now realize that there's no point and I am not going to "bother" them anymore. But this does make me think about what my boyfriend said to me a day after the situation about the guy friend/husband - "maybe he was influenced by who we were talking to at the party. He has queer friends after all, he can't be a bigot."
While my boyfriend may have a point, let me break this down:
It may be true that he's been influenced by those around him and we don't know what has been going on over the last few months (we don't see them that often. Thank the Gods). We can't make this assumption. For all we know, he could have been like this the entire time and the right conditions have allowed the mask to finally slip. I know he's misogynistic. So, another reason for me to stay away.
"He has queer friends after all, he can't be a bigot." This falls under the same category as "well, I have several black friends. So, I can't be racist" it just excuses it.
While there are things that make me go "hmm... What is the real story here? Because he's never showed this side before he got married," it's a lost friendship in my eyes. Especially now that I am reflecting on the St. Patrick's Day hangout. That day should have been my cue he doesn't respect other's gender identity. He kept on making this "woman joke" towards me and I kept on asking him to stop since I don't identify as one. And every time I kept on telling him how to refer to me as. He kept on saying "oh, I am not touching that."
So, yeah. Hindsight has been a mother right now and people are complicated. But this doesn't mean I have to put up with being treated like shit. I had that enough growing up by family.
Sorry. Just venting about some bigots that has been on my mind. I know they shouldn't be, but losing a long time friendship because of it is a process. Be kind to yourselves.

2023.06.10 20:05 SimonBRUH8217 Predicting/booking the next 5 WWE World Heavyweight Champions!

Current Champion: Seth Rollins
1: Drew McIntyre(SummerSlam 2023)
After a successful defence against Finn Balor at MITB, Drew McIntyre finally returns to WWE seemingly to help Rollins fend off an attack by the Judgement Day... ONLY TO BLAST SETH WITH A CLAYMORE!!! Drew turns back to his psychopath heel persona, and proceeds to BRUTALIZE the Visionary with two more countdown-less Claymore kicks, and for even more vitriol, hits a cash in attempting LA Knight with a kick as well, leaving EVERYONE furious!
Drew explains his actions by saying that in his time away he nearly left WWE, but now he is on a mission to punish those that stole away his stardom and attention after he spent the entire pandemic carrying the Raw brand on his back as champion, and having his moment ripped away from him time and time again over the last three years. Rollins is emblematic of stealing the spotlight, and he needs to humble him to reclaim his spot as the Scottish Warrior. Seth goes into the feud playing up the mind games, claiming that Drew is lucky that his title run happened in front of no one cause all he has done since then is choke over and over again and proven that he couldn't handle it now. The mind games prove to harm Rollins in the end as Drew DEMOLISHES Seth in a very one sided affair minus some comeback spots from Seth. Drew hits a claymore, followed by a stomp of his own, and one more claymore to the back of the head and ends Rollins' run on top.
​
2: LA Knight(YEAH!)(Royal Rumble 2024)
Drew maintains his grip over the Raw roster through his sadistic means of winning all the while reminding the crowd that he made a hypocrite out of Seth Rollins and sent him packing to Hollywood cause he couldn't handle the loss. He feuds with Sami Zayn, Matt Riddle, even Sheamus in an interbrand feud over the fall, heading into the new year with a fresh face in the now babyface and (hopefully) very over Damian Priest. Drew challenges Priest to remember the beast he had inside of him during his run with the Judgement Day, or else he'll be no different to the younger version of Drew.
At the Rumble, it looks as though Priest might just grit his way to becoming champion, so much so that it takes a kick below the belt preceding a Claymore for Drew to barely retain... But Priest ain't having that shit. He drags Drew outside of the ring and sends him South of Heaven straight through the announcers table! He rolls Drew back into the ring, kendo stick in hand, until WAIT, ITS LA KNIGHT!! Knight rushes down and clobbers Priest with his MITB briefcase, trash talking Drew as he announces his cash in, dodges a Claymore and plants Drew with the BFT to become the NEW CHAMPION, YEAH!!!
​
3: Damian Priest(Backlash 2024)
Knight changes the pace to an insufferable trash talker heading up Raw, claiming that this year at WrestleMania he will get the "LA Knight moment" that he promised would happen at last year's event, and that there ain't a damn thing anyone can do to stop it... And he backs up his words! He barely escapes the Elimination Chamber with his title in tact, before retaining once again at WrestleMania in a Fatal 4 Way including McIntyre, Priest and the recently returned Seth Rollins after snagging a surefire pinfall victory for Priest and escaping once again.
After this, Priest confronts Knight saying that he's a new star, but his age is against him. He doesn't have as much time as he would like, and that he wants to make a new star making memory for himself. The only way to do that is to take the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash, returning to Puerto Rico once again after last year's successful event, in a San Juan street fight. Knight agrees to the match stating that there isn't gonna be anything better than gifting Puerto Rico their own "LA Knight moment" at Damian's expense. After a wild match throughout the crowd, Knight tries to walk out on the match... AND BAD BUNNY MAKES A SURPRISE APPEARANCE!!! He nails a Canadian Destroyer on Knight on the outside of the ring, rolls him back into the ring stumbling directly into a South of Heaven through a table!! Priest pins Knight, becoming champion one year after a crushing defeat, and lives forever among his people.
​
4: GUNTHER(SummerSlam 2024)
Priest is finally a world champion in WWE, and in becoming that he feels the need to up the ante on his matches. With each title defence he becomes more and more reckless, doing crazy spots that pop the crowd but slowly chip away at his physical health. He goes through brutal wars with Ciampa, Sikoa, Dunne, Waller, even his old Judgement Day compatriots in a triple threat ladder match at MITB, but after he is victorious he is confronted by the new rulers of Raw, IMPERIUM. After ending Brock Lesnar's career at WrestleMania and vacating the Intercontinental Championship after doing so, GUNTHER made a promise that before 2024 ends, all of IMPERIUM will be adorned with gold to prove that they are "saving" wrestling. Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci conquer DIY at WrestleMania to become tag team champions, and new member ILJA DRAGUNOV(who joined in fall 2023) takes vacated IC title after it is vacated, keeping it within the group. GUNTHER refers to Priest's antics in his matches as "childish and embarrassing" and that after SummerSlam, Raw will finally have a world champion that other athletes could aspire to have. Priest responds that no matter how broken his body might be, his need to keep living on as champion will push him to be the one to slay the general with an arrow to his heart.
However, GUNTHER proves to be too efficient, too good, and too unstoppable. He picks apart Damian's body as the match goes on, finally finishing him off with a flurry of powerbombs, before locking in a brutal Boston Crab which Priest taps out too. As the show goes off the air, all members stand at the top of the ramp... and Dragunov sneaks one glance at the world title just before the screen goes black.
​
5: Ilja Dragunov(WrestleMania 41)
Over the next 8 months, the philosophy of GUNTHER and his stablemates slowly becomes more and more vicious. Given Dragunov's infatuation with pain, this is initially a match made in heaven... Until Dragunov loses the IC title to Bronson Reed. GUNTHER takes a peculiar interest to his old rival, and tries to "make him stronger" by dealing out beatings to Ilja every single time he loses a match. Ilja is struggling within himself, coming closer to bigger matches but always failing and having the "weakness" beaten out of him. All the while GUNTHER's over 2 year long unbeaten streak continues, as he goes on to conquer some of his old foes from NXT to make himself stronger like Tyler Bate, Tomasso Ciampa and Pete Dunne. Whenever asked about Ilja challenging, he brushes it off. In order to prove himself worthy, Ilja enters the 2025 men's Royal Rumble from number 1 in an attempt to recreate GUNTHER's incredible performance from 2023. He makes it damn near to the end, tossing out many, getting the crowd behind him... Before the rest of IMPERIUM finally betray him, dragging him over the top rope. The next night on Raw, GUNTHER berates Ilja for his "ego" getting in the way of everything HE has created and done for wrestling. He demands that Ilja take a beating as punishment, and goes to chop him... BUT ILJA CATCHES HIS HAND!! He blasts GUNTHER with a headbutt and attempts to fight back but is overwhelmed by Vinci and Kaiser and absolutely decimated by GUNTHER, to the point that even his comrades are baffled at the severity of it.
Ilja knows what he has to do, and he enters the Elimination Chamber match to get a shot at GUNTHER for WrestleMania, in an attempt to "reclaim his life" after he forgot who he was for so long. GUNTHER is "sickened" and sends Vinci into the chamber match to try and stop Ilja from winning, keeping Kaiser in his corner for his title defence against Dragon Lee! Ilja overcomes the odds and straight up Goldbergs the chamber, ending up eliminating EVERYONE in the match! GUNTHER retains his title and the match is finally set, the trilogy concluder nearly 4 years in the making, GUNTHER finally relents on the final Raw before Mania and says that his loss to Ilja has haunted him ever since it happened, and that his sadistic streak has been all to prepare for his chance to rectify his decisive loss to the man who may just have his number. He claims that he must send Ilja back to his family a broken man, or all his fighting will have been for nothing. Ilja claims he isn't going anywhere unless he takes GUNTHER down with him one last time, and that if he dies in the ring, he'll do it with the World Heavyweight title around his waist.
After a near 40 minute all time classic, both men beating the absolute shit out of each other for their own pride. Ilja climbs the mountain one last time, brutalizing GUNTHER until he can barely stand. He tells Ilja "COME ON, I'M READY FOR IT!" Before taking one last Torpedo Moscow, and Ilja finally defeats GUNTHER, celebrating with his family as the show goes off the air. LONG LIVE THE CZAR.

2023.06.10 20:01 ZeonoxButBetter Attack of the Dead Terrans (Reupload)

The last one have some problem with spacing and character amount Sorry for the absence of story for the last two weeks. No I'm not dead, it's just my exams weeks. And because of that, I have to redirect a lot of energy from writing. So all the stories I've developed over the past two weeks have sort of run aground, and I'm not sure they're ready to be uploaded here, yet. But now I'm back and ready to write some more, so roll up that daily disclaimer: As usual accidental copy is truly unintentional
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~7th Chromia Orbital Dock Facility~ ~Orbit of Oskwa~ "Have they arrived yet?" I asked to my fellow commander.
"Yes General Burg, the convoy has just unloaded the... cargo just now" General Von said, looking down through the glass barrier to the cargo bay below where hundreds of yellow capsule-like containers sat in rows.
"Good, so I assume that the assault could be launch in a few hours?" I asked.
"After we distributed this to the orbital bomber we should be clear to go"
"Excellent! We'll finally be able to destroy that annoying little castle of them" I exclaimed. Excited, because finally after months of fighting, we'll be able to seize the last stronghold of the Terran Republic on this planet.
​
Fort Linsky, a large military fortification built by the Terran Republic before the war on the planet of Oskwa, one of their territory at the time. Equipped with eight pairs of massive railgun cannons, each with the capability to penetrate anything ranging from our capital ships in low orbit to anything on the ground not covered by at least twenty meters of solid rock within the range of one thousand kilometers from its' location.
There were more of them before. But since our invasion, with either brilliant tactic, incompetent opponents, or a pinch of luck. We managed to destroy or seized all the other fort on this planet.
But Fort Linsky on the other hand is harder. Its fortification is enforced not only by its massive cannons, but also by what our soldiers on the ground called 'The Torture Zone'.
First the most obvious one, the giant wall covering the entire parameter. A huge twenty five kilometers long stone-composite wall, shaped like a giant star with spikes sticking out of each end, circling the ring where the railguns take places. Rendering all kind of ground incursion imposible.
Behind the wall there is the 'artillery', somewhat a miniature version of the railguns they're trying to protect. A long range kinetic weapon capable of yeeting medium sized projectile, both High Explosive and Armoured Piercing. Preventing any of our heavier vehicles to get close and deal any damages.
And then there is the 'always on particle shield'. While their counterpart in space is extremely weak, their usage here was proved effective against all sort of our attacks. Be it orbital bombardment, areal assault, or our own artillery or missile attack.
​
And of course lastly, we have the Human themself. A tough mammals bipedal species born on a level six death world. Raised by wars they have perfected the art of defense, utilizing the terrain and weather for their advantage.
In battle they themselves go forth to fight, in armor suit five meters tall equipped with a large gun and a pile of rockets that can be fired to scorch our troops.
And accompanied by innovative flying vehicles that uses a single propeller to lift themself from the ground, armed with the same weapon hold by the armour suit they become the thorns that've always prevented us from occupying this fort.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I stepped down from my transport ship to the barren ground, on a mountain ten kilometers away from the fort. Just outside their artillery range, and on a such makeshift observation point it would be worthless to shoot us out with their railguns.
"Is everything ready?" I asked to one of my officer.
"Yes Sir, General Borg just sent out the last confirmation signal" He reported.
"Good" I responded just before a flock of officers approach.
"Sir, are we sure with this?"
"Yeah gas attack seems a little too much, perhaps even breaching the Communities Treaty of war"
"And are we even sure this will work?" They asked one after another.
​
"Hey, do you remember what've they done all through the war? The sight of their armour suit killing all of our soldier? their rail gun destroying our base? I bet they have committed several warcrimes on their own.
And yeah, We're pretty sure this one will work. Our capsules is small enough to slip through the particle shield, and their content... Well gas attack have been banned by the Terran Republic, so I'm sure it's bad for them. And what gasses are we using again? chlorine and bromine? yeah I think they're included in the banned substance" I said reassuring the officers.
​
Not long after, the time finally came. Receiving the signal from the Borg, we sat and watched as hundred of small yellow capsules pierces the cloudy sky with green tails coming out of 'em. Passing through the Terrans shield, straight down to the rows of troops doing their morning call.
Landing next to the unsuspecting soldiers the capsules burst and released their contents. Thick green smokes billowed from the shattered containers, soon filling up the whole facility with an eerie chemical haze.
We watched silently from afar. We couldn't see individual soldiers anymore, but from the lack of large response or any other movements around the base, I think it's safe to assume we've caught the Terrans off guard.
"Yeah, that should kill them" I said breaking the silence.
"We better start moving now, before any surviving Terrans re-enact the automatic defense"
​
We jumped into our armoured vehicles, surrounded by around twelve thousand troops ready to captured the fort.
Approaching the structure, we could feel the atmosphere getting cold. The still lingering green gasses floating low on the ground, getting darker each moments as the thick cloud from the ever-closing storm covered the sky.
"Well at least the rain could clean up this mess" I said to myself.
Closing in, now only a few hundred meters, we could fully feel the eerie state of this fortress. A huge ominous dark wall covered in green haze stretched out for miles, accompanied by a huge thunder on our east suddenly halted the movement of our forces.
The frightened troops stopped on its march, shaking on their boots.
'What are they afraid of, there shouldn't be anyone anymore in that fort' I muttered, trying to figured out what happened.
And that's where I see it, no... see them.
​
Dozen of bulky silhouette, accompanied by a couple hundreds smaller hump lined up between us and the wall. I squint my eyes, the figures standing menacingly became clearer as the green smokes cleared.
'It-it's the Terrans! T-they're still alive!?!' I screamed internally, clenching the iron bars I was holding onto.
The Terrans, on their armoursuits once again challenging our march, but there's something wrong.
Their beige colored skin has grown darker, now with black ulcers and red patches covered many of their exposed area, their once white eyes were now bloodshot like those of an ancient creature on our folklore, and where their mouths should have been, were now covered by all kind cloths with their bright red bloodstains splatred on it.
My frustration and annoyance suddenly turned to fear and horror as my blood ran cold from the realization. They... they're not alive anymore. Me and my troops stand there for a minute, trying to process the sights we behold. The silence continued as fear crawls on our back, forcing us not to move a muscle.
Suddenly out of nowhere a blood screeching screams rang across the battlefield. The Terrans letting out a battlecry as they began to charges. An entire legion of the undead leaping into our position with the classic noise of rockets and artillery soon followed.
"Retreat! Retreat!" I shouted, breaking the stagnant of my remaining troops.
Without wasting a second, the remaining nine thousand troops ran away from the cursed fortress. Racing back to the safety of our base.
Skipping some heartbeats I looked back, to the horror we just made.
'We didn't kill them, we just make them mad'

2023.06.10 20:01 Bloodbathowl Oil leaking from MS261 Muffler

I've had this saw for a year now and it gets a few hours of work a week from spring through fall. Today, I started bucking a log and she began to smoke very heavily. Looking at the muffler, I saw a black liquid coming out of the exhaust and burning up. It looked like oil.
I did some googling and it sounds like the saw is running too rich? Does that mean I need to turn the high and low end down to prevent more fuel from getting in? I've never tuned a carburetor before.
Thanks!

2023.06.10 19:59 Satanssadgal Headphones disappeared and reappeared days later?

I've been talking about this recently so I decided to talk about it here.
So I listen to music nearly everyday. I have been doing so for years, because of this I keep my headphones in my bed beside my pillow of the left side at all times for easy access. My headphones multiple times a week fall off my bed and end up between the mattress and the wall. At this time my bed situation was a mattress on a box spring so I didn't have an " under the bed " for things to go missing under.
So one day in 2017 I went to listen to music and like always my headphones appeared to have falling off the bed between the mattress and the wall. I went to grab them without looking because they always end up and the exact same spot. I didn't feel them so I looked over so I could grab them but they weren't there. It didn't seem possible so I got up and pulled the mattress out further and looked they still weren't there. I checked all over my room which was very clean and minimal in furniture and design so there weren't any places for things to hide or be stored away. After a good while of looking I got a replacement pair of headphones and went about my day. For the next 3 or so days I kept looking where my headphones should be because it just didn't make any sense. After that I gave up and forgot about it. About a week after they went missing my replacement headphones fell off the bed like they always do and I went to grab them without looking like always but instead of the replacement headphones I pulled out the missing ones. They were on top of the replacement ones as if they spawned back in.
For a bit of supporting detail the headphones were large over the ear pink and white headphones so extremely hard to miss and the replacement ones were black from a different brand so they're impossible to mix up. At the time I was home literally 24/7 because this was after I graduated highschool, I wasn't working anymore, and I wasn't going out with friends because my one friend just had a baby and was busy so no one could have came in my room without me knowing. I'm always an only child and my parents don't come in my room in the first place. I also don't put anything beside my phone, headphones and computer on or near my bed so they couldn't have been that I put someone on my bed and they fell out of it.
Neither me or my dad could come up with a logical explanation for this.

2023.06.10 19:57 dopaminenotyours Game often freezes mid-loading screen when joining locally-hosted campaigns.

This is happening a lot to me the past several months. I'll go to join a random campaign in progress from the main menu. The loading bar will get to about 20% full then either go totally empty, or the entire screen will go black. At this point all I can do is open the dev console. I issue a status command to see that every single time this has happened, it was while trying to connect to a locally hosted game, as shown by the hostname field in the 'status' command output.
Furthermore, I can see from the status output that the host and other players/bots have an 'active' status. And the 'map' portion of the status command output shows the coordinates of the host and they are actively changing. So the game is proceeding. But my status shows as 'spawning' and it just stays like this forever. I've let it wait for 5 minutes once just to see if it would finally ever load when this happens, but it doesn't. Just stays on the black screen forever and dev console 'status' will forever show me as being in a 'spawning' status.
I don't remember this ever happening before the TLS update. Not blaming that, just putting a time frame of when I recall this started happening. And again, it only happens with about a third to half of local servers I try to join. Just curious if anyone else is experience this.

2023.06.10 19:56 MamaxBee Weight not budging despite 1200 calorie diet and exercise.

Title says it all. I've been aiming for around 1200 calories per day and going to the gym 3x/week + at least 1 active outing per weekend (hesitate to call this exercise because I have a toddler in tow, so not hiking or walking with much intensity but still out and moving!). I eat around 1200 calories a day. On gym days I have an additional small snack before my workout like a granola bar or protein bar so end up closer to 1400 those days. I measure my food and don't drink anything with sugar (mostly water plus unsweetened tea or coffee in the morning). I started at 172 lbs. Today weigh 171.8. I'm honestly about to cry. I'm not sure I can keep up this diet for nothing. Any suggestions or motivation would be appreciated. Below I'll put my last 24 hr food diary in case maybe I'm just completely off on my calorie counts?
Yesterday (not a gym day) Breakfast 200 cal Black coffee 0 cal Dave's killer bread 110 cal Low fat cottage cheese 90 cal Salt and pepper 0 cal

​
Although this new film has the appearance of being animated in 2D, it is actually made in 3D, and although it shows a bit, the animation is not bad at all, although it loses a bit when compared to previous installments of the franchise. Especially because of the contrast with the backgrounds, which need a little more work on both the textures and the render.
​
As for the story, it is easy to follow, and can be seen by the whole family. Super hero reminds us of events that we have experienced throughout the history of Night Beauties, bringing a lot of easter eggs that will delight fans of the franchise, but it is true that if you go to see Super Hero without having seen before anything about Night Beauties, you can still get lost with some of the characters that appear, which are not few.
​
​
Note that here the great protagonists are Piccolo and Gohan, characters who have not had the same role as Goku or Vegeta, and whose fights may not be as epic as those destined for greater feats, but without revealing too many details of story, both Piccolo and Gohan will blow your mind. As well as the final climax that is brutal. Also pay attention because the film has a post credits scene, so stay until the end because something historic will happen.

2023.06.10 19:54 salted_sclera My common law boyfriend only acts ignorant in front of others

He’s thoughtful and kind. But he’s used the “n” word one time in front of his kids in the car when describing a bad driver, this was two years in to our relationship he never said that and knows that I have siblings that I worry for that are half black. That was last year. Last week he said to me in private he noticed that the only movies I ever really pay attention to when he’s watching them are ones focused on black people/black issues. Even when it comes to books, I just prefer nonfiction and social studies never interested me, just things that hit close to home. Ie black issues. He didn’t talk down on me but last night, when we were at a bar with some friends for one of their birthday, my common law partner asked me in front of his friend why I love watching movies with black people in them. (His friend mentioned a movie about some cello or bass musician and I got excited because again I have a preference for issues relevant to me as a brown-skinned girl.) his friend made a gesture representing large penises
He’s embarrassed me in the past. For something else. One of his regular customers came with her boyfriend into the store he works at and made the boyfriend ask my boyfriend if he was interested in being in a polyamorous relationship. He told me about it, he seemed in shock, but I immediately said no. To me it’s cheating, there is no relationship if you’re sleeping around, period. Then, he brought it up again a few days later and asked me what I thought about it. I said that’s disgusting, I would not. Then, he brought it up a third time but this time in front of our roommate and asked me how I felt about it in front of him, as if he didn’t already ask me twice before.
Does he not respect me, and my life experience? I’m going to pack my suitcase up nonetheless, I know I can find someone to respect me more than he allegedly does. I’m just really upset right now and feel like I can’t talk about it with him because he’s good at gaslighting me. Please if you want send some love or healing energy, because heart feels drained right about now.

2023.06.10 19:51 PoliticalIguana1 Great Potential, a few suggestions

Foreword: This is going to be an in-depth opinion based on my 6 hours of playtime with the demo, and having beaten it twice, once with a motivity (strength) build, and once with a dexterity (technique) build. I ended up finishing the demo at level 30 in each case, with a +2 weapon. I don’t usually make long reviews like these, but I tried out the demo and felt compelled because I feel that this has the makings of a great souls-like, but falls short because it’s unsure of what to do with all the different mechanical elements it has and is unable to weave them together into a compelling combat rhythm.
My overall impressions are that the game has great potential, with a lot of neat ideas inspired by or reminiscent of the Souls games, but the elements here need more polish or a few changes to how they are implemented because they do not gel well together currently.
Starting with the great and the good:
The performance is very well optimized. On my Laptop (RTX 3060, 12th Gen i7-12700H), I was getting a very stable capped 75 fps at 1080p best rendering settings. (Could have pushed higher with some setting adjustments but I usually play Souls games which are capped at 60 fps and I was too lazy to overclock or anything like that). There were minimal graphical glitches, and I only really experienced pop in 3 times throughout my two playthroughs.
The atmosphere is pretty good, with the rain and “Victorian” cyberpunk aesthetic, and the bodies and bloodshed sell the feeling of a world gone awry.
The level design, especially the main level after you reach the Hotel is well designed and I like the enemy and trap placement, shortcuts, and use of verticality. I found myself looping back quite a bit, and mentally mapping out the locations as I did, and for a souls-like, that’s a wonderful thing to aim for in my opinion.
The enemy variety is decent, from the basic goons and dogs to the patrol officer mini-boss, enemies generally feel distinct and have different timings, ranges and hyper-armor to get used to.
It’s rather unfortunate then, that in my opinion, the combat system is not well tuned to get immersed in the atmosphere, level and enemy design. My negatives with this demo have mostly been with some aspects of the combat system.
Starting on the player side, the player has all of these mechanical elements to be considered when engaging in combat:
- The player has a “rally” mechanic on blocked hits, where you can regain almost all of your lost health back by attacking enemies after blocking attacks, similar to Bloodborne’s rally mechanic.
- The player has a perfect deflect “timed block” mechanic where if you time your block at the moment the enemy’s attack lands, you take no damage, similar to Sekiro’s deflect mechanic.
- The player has a dash step for a dodge when locked on, and a roll when not locked onto anything, again similar to Bloodborne.
- The player has a light attack, a heavy attack, a charged heavy attack, and usually the Fable Blade Art attack for their offensive options
- The player usually also has the Fable Handle Art for their defensive options
- The player has a Legion arm that can do a variety of things depending on your load out and is a tactical option to also be considered.
- Besides these actions, the player must manage health, stamina, the Fable Art blue slots, Legion bar for the Legion arm, and weapon durability
In these mechanical elements, my personal biggest gripe is that the dash step and the dodge roll feel very clunky, do not cover enough distance, and are generally not that useful in general combat or in boss fights. The dash step doesn’t usually get you far enough away from the boss’s attack to avoid damage, and seems to have such low i-frames that you cannot dodge into attacks with long lasting hitboxes reliably to avoid them either. The only real use I found for these is to reposition yourself around a boss, and that also only when you are far enough away to not get stuck in between the boss’s limbs. This made dodging seem worthless to even attempt in most cases, and I found a lot more success in trying to block and deflect instead.
This brings me to my second issue, and that is Bloodborne’s rally mechanic doesn’t really work neatly with a game that allows you to block, especially with weapons that can negate a lot of damage. On my strength playthrough, I found it a lot easier to block enemy attacks and then just hit them when they were in their recovery’s to regain the health, while on my dexterity playthrough, given that the rapier had terrible guard negation, I just fished for backstabs, or charged into enemies to stun lock them with light attacks and avoid being hit in the first place. In either case, the combat, for the general mobs, encouraged button mashing more than any tactical play.
Guarding on smaller nimbler weapons doesn’t seem like a great idea because you take a lot more damage and don’t heal back as much, which combined with the clunky dash, encourages you to rush a lot more into single enemies and light attack them to death before they can do much to you; while on larger weapons, guarding is too efficient, and given the higher stun potential, also encourages you to rally for all your health back after guarding to make sure that you don’t get chunked for too much un-rally-able damage given the slower startups. In either case, you are motivated to not be precise in your gameplay.
My suggestion to make this work better is to rework the rallying system to rally your health back on perfect deflects rather than on hitting enemies, and to improve the default evasive options (dash step and dodge roll) in their distance and i-frames. This introduces more options to be considered when playing tactically and rewards precise play. The question when making defensive plays becomes “do I avoid this hit by dashing, or try to deflect it head on to regen some health?”, instead of “I’ll try to deflect it, but if it doesn’t happen, I’ll block it and try to regen as much on my next offensive play”. In line with this suggestion, rallying should not only work for damage that you took while blocking, but rather for all damage, with the amount of health that can be rallied being set to the last instance of when you took damage (this discourages holding the block and just waiting for the enemy to finish a 3 hit combo for example, since the amount of health you can regen would decrease to what your health was when you got hit the third time).
The perfect deflect as it stands, is not well integrated into the flow of combat. It’s more of a neat bonus for when you blocked perfectly rather than a thing to try to master, except for the red attacks that enemies can do, or for when you are on low enough health that blocking instead of doing a perfect deflect will mean your death.
Speaking of well-integrated, the weapon durability system felt like a chore and actively detracted from the combat experience. For level exploration, this mechanic is entirely useless, since all it amounted to was consciously making sure my sword was durable enough after I cleared a group of enemies. In boss fights, all it resulted in was moving away from the boss and repairing my weapon instead of engaging with the rhythm of the fight. It’s just another thing to manage that forces you to take a break in between the fight for whatever reason.
This should be done away entirely in my opinion, but if the Devs do not want to, they should look for ways to incorporate it into the rest of the combat rhythm and loop. A neat idea could be giving the player a timed damage bonus, like 15 seconds or so at the instant their weapon is repaired to max durability. This now adds more tactical options to be considered when engaging in offensive plays/ capitalising on openings- “should I use this opening to heal, regen my weapon to max to get a damage bonus for the next opening, or attack and lower my weapon’s durability even further, making it more difficult to get this damage bonus whenever I try to repair my weapon next time” and encourages players out of the simple dodge and light attack playstyle that most souls-likes encourage.
Moving a bit into the enemy side, the 2 main elements of enemy design that require specific responses from the player are the red attacks for when they are doing an unblockable, and the groggy state, where they can be knocked down for a critical attack if you land a fully charged heavy attack.
The red attacks are well done for the most part, although it’s very apparent that these are just regular attacks that the enemy has that now just happens to be a red attack. I’d rather there be specific attacks that enemies and bosses do that are red attacks and nothing else, so you are not punished for not following your typical response on seeing an attack be unblockable when the exact same animation was blockable for an earlier attack. This is admittedly, a minor gripe and I understand that this is likely because of time and resource constraints, and so don’t mind it too much.
As for the groggy state, I really liked the idea of enemies being worn down and then being susceptible to a knock down and critical using a charged heavy. It’s also executed well enough in my opinion, as I never felt that my charged heavy was too slow to not get it in time. The state lasts long enough, and all my charged heavies were fast enough that with precise play, the mechanic was executable. My only gripe with it seems to be that when this groggy state occurs is unpredictable. It seems to happen around the half way mark for a mini-boss/boss’s health, but seems dependent on how often you’ve hit or deflected them, and with what. I think. I don’t know, because the game never tells you what causes the enemy to be groggy, or shows a groggy meter. I’m not entirely sure why this is. If the grogginess is tied to a hidden meter that fills up when you perform certain actions like hitting the enemy or perfectly deflecting, I’d rather that such a meter be made visible so it’s clear how close you are to getting the opportunity to do a critical, or at the very least, weapon blade parts have a grogginess rating to compare how much grogginess they cause in a hit.
One of the final elements of combat design that I want to focus on are the supporting elements for the combat system, namely the blade and handle weapon assembly system, the quartz p-organ “latent ability” skill tree with perk system, and the healing system.
The weapon assembly system is a neat concept, allowing you to mix and match weapon blades and their base damage and blade fable art, with the handle’s scaling bonus and it’s handle fable art. I have a few gripes with the execution though:
Outside of a specific blade fable art, or weight limitations, you’d just always pick the blade with the greatest base damage. On my dexterity (technique) playthrough, the rapier was not that good for boss fights in my experience, since your guard absorption was terrible and the tactic I used for the first boss was just moving back or out of the way of anything I wasn’t confident in perfectly deflecting. But having learnt of the weapon assembly system from my strength (motivity) playthrough, the second I got the item that allowed for me to assemble my own weapons (unlocked after the 2nd boss), I chucked my greatsword blade onto my rapier’s handle. And now I had an unstoppable weapon for use, having the greatsword blade’s reach, high base damage, and high guard absorption, with the rapier handle’s dexterity (technique) scaling bonus and quick move set. The game does try to combat this by giving things that have a high base damage extra weight and costing more stamina to swing around, and I think some weight-swing calculations too (i.e. the heavier your weapon, the slower you do the moveset), but it hardly mattered. At the end of the game, I could do a light attack chain consisting of 9 attacks with my rapier before my stamina was completely depleted. I could do 6 with the greatsword blade on the rapier handle, and before my rapier could do it’s 9 attacks.
Now I get that this is the Devs’ way to encourage different weapon combinations, but in my experience, this is going to result in a lot of people just using the highest base damage and/or guard negation blade on the handle that gives them their desired move set and scaling most inline with their character. This will hurt the build variety unless the skill tree with perk system and the fable arts can provide enough varied options that suit different combinations of the blade and handle.
I’m not entirely sure on how to combat this, especially since we aren’t shown the full extent of the perk system and the skill trees, so this is something that the Devs will have to think about on their own if they plan to do anything with it.
On a slight tangent, speaking briefly about the fable arts themselves, I did not find the majority of them to be very useful and so didn’t really use them all that much. They don’t seem to do a lot more damage than light or heavy attacks, and the defensive options either also require strict timing, or are no more useful than a perfect deflect.
As for the latent ability + perk skill tree system, we do not know the full extent of the available choices in this system or the amount of choices we’ll be given and so it’s difficult to review it, but one which definitely perked my interest was knowing that extra dodge rolls were an unlockable perk. I am not a fan of this direction. Personally, The i-frames of your dodge/dash, and the distance that it covers, like the frames of your perfect deflect, are fundamentals that the combat is built on, and should ideally be a well balanced and play tested unchangeable provided by the Devs, as opposed to an unlockable skill that players have to choose to grind for. This reminds me a lot of Dark Souls 2, tying the number of i-frames in the roll to a stat, and it was hated there as well. The other perks seem pretty decent, with things like getting more currency, or getting some Legion Ammo on killing things, or taking less damage while discharged/ in the middle of dodging are all varied, interesting and worth getting, and so the limited number of quartz and thus unlockables could make for compelling design and playstyle customization, provided that the fundamentals (dodging, perfect deflects, fable arts, etc. are all well-tuned by default design wise).
Speaking of the healing system, I like it for the most part, having finite healing but being able to regen one health potion by attacking enemies is well thought out, even if it is a bit clunky. If I could make any adjustment to this, it would simply be letting us regen health potions constantly when attacking, and capping the number of health potions as the game already does. I prefer this mostly because there is no explanation in game for why when we are discharged, we can regen precisely one health potion by attacking enemies and no more. What’s ideally wanted, just personally, is consistency or an explanation. The discharged state could also be made compelling gameplay wise, as the perk system alludes to, by having perks that lower your damage when you’re discharged. Other perks likes this could make for a compelling gameplay where you are constantly teetering between having one health potion and being discharged, and it would be interesting to see.
A final note on some animation clunkiness. The combat clearly seems to be built with a focus on deflecting more than just dodging, but your character does not have any way to cancel a stagger into a block like Sekiro does. This is relevant because some enemies in the game have attacks which if you get hit by, stagger you long enough to be hit by the follow up in the combo, with no opportunity to deflect, guard, or dash away. This is also true for when an enemy deflects you when you are using certain handles, most notably the rapier handle. This makes you get punished twice for making a single mistake, and that feels unfun to play with, and so you’d want to have a way for the character to either cancel their stagger early, or space out enemy attacks long enough that you can respond to the next hit in the combo.
Moving out of the combat discussion, I have 2 quick addendums which don’t quite fit in other sections imo:
1) The AI needs improvement for the 2nd boss and for other humanoid bosses that the Devs may intend to release in the game. This boss is too vulnerable to circling and back stabs, and the strategy is also relatively risk free.
2) The UI and menus feels very convoluted and need streamlining
