2023.06.06 19:28 autotldr Wagner boss rubbishes Russian claims of Ukrainian casualties

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 68%. (I'm a bot)
A fresh row has broken out between the Wagner Group and the Russian military, as long-simmering tension between the groups threatens to spill over.
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin dismissed Russia's claims to have inflicted heavy losses on Ukraine in the Donbas when Kyiv attempted offensive action.
Russia's defence ministry doubled down on the claims on Tuesday, saying Ukraine suffered over 3,700 casualties.
Speaking to state media, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu insisted that his forces had inflicted over 3,715 casualties on Ukraine during the attack and destroyed dozens of pieces of military equipment.
"The attempts at an offensive have failed. The enemy has been halted. Russian soldiers and officers displayed courage and heroism in the battles," Mr Shoigu said, adding that 71 Russian troops died in the fighting.
On Monday, the paramilitary group said it had detained a regular Russian army officer, who allegedly opened fire on a Wagner vehicle in Ukraine.

2023.06.06 19:27 LiseEclaire [Leveling up the World] - Academy Arc - Chapter 761

Out there - Patreon (for all those curious or wanting to support :))
At the Beginning
Adventure Arc - Arc 2
Wilderness Arc - Arc 3
Academy Arc - Arc 4
Previously on Leveling up the World…
 
“This way, please.” The young apprentice flew to the side of the archduke’s palace. A cluster of several three-story mansions was there, surrounded by several well-kept layers of orange bushes. All the buildings were exquisite, even if nowhere as large as the palace itself. These had to be the guest residencies; either that or the staff quarters.
Casting a spell, the mage opened the large double doors. Before entering, though, he landed on the ground, patiently waiting for Dallion and Diroh to pass first. In contrast, Dallion remained an inch from the floor at all times. In the short time he’d been a battle mage, he had developed the habit of avoiding contact with unfamiliar surfaces.
“A tailor team is expecting you in your chamber,” the apprentice explained. “I wasn’t aware that there would be anyone accompanying you, so it will take a short while for the second one to arrive and tend to your novice.”
“Tend to me?” Diroh asked with a predatory smile. “That’s so thoughtful of you…” she looked at the boy, indicating she expected to get a name.
“Calpex,” he quickly said. “Apprentice Calpex Lyan.”
“Yes, how very thoughtful of you, Calpex. I can see why you were made an apprentice.”
The insult passed over the apprentice’s head, who mumbled something in thanks, then quickly flew off, likely to inform the mage and archduke of the guests’ arrival. Wasting no time, the fury closed the door.
“You’ve become vicious,” Dallion said, amused.
“I’ve always been. You just never noticed.” Diroh placed all of Dallion’s floating belongings in the corridor. “I know his type.”
No doubt she did.
“How are you with nobles? The banquet won’t be the same as a hunter’s tavern.”
“So you’re really planning to go?”
The fury made it sound as if she disapproved, but the emanations from her told a completely different story. She was eager to see the inside of an archduke’s palace. The more Dallion looked at her, the more he found the scruffy fury he’d met way back to be gone. Awakening had that effect on people, changing their perspective of the world, infusing them with curiosity, and helping them deal with deep-rooted flaws.
“Going yes,” he said, making his way through the corridor to the first ornate double door. “Staying, no.”
The room was his personal bedroom, as expected. Large and richly decorated, it had thick carpets woven out of gem cloth, massive paintings with such detail that only someone with a perception of forty could truly appreciate, as well as several large tables, chairs, a desk, and an impossibly large bed. Four people were there waiting for him, their appearance combined with the racks of cloth suggested they were the tailor team Calpex had mentioned.
“Greetings, mage.” All of them bowed. Interestingly, all of them were human. Given the city’s size, Dallion would have assumed there to be a gorgon, or at least a dwarf as well. “Will you allow us to take your measurements?”
Without a reply, Dallion floated to a spot in the room, a few steps away from the large window, then raised his arms sideways. Taking the hint, the tailors quickly started taking measurements. There were no conversations the entire time. Everyone knew precisely what they had to do, occasionally asking Dallion to move certain parts of his body so they could get a more accurate measurement.
“Do you have any specific preferences?” the head tailor—an old man well in his sixties—asked.
“Make sure it fits with my robe.”
The man froze. The tailors looked at one another as if Dallion had made a death threat.
“The archduke has… not allowed such an option,” the tailor said after a while. “Only mages are allowed to have robes, and although you are—”
“Fine.” Dallion had no intention of arguing. “Just make it clear that I am one.”
“Of course. And the young lady?”
Dallion was tempted to casually mention that she was a princess, more as a poke to her than anything else. In the end, he wasn’t able to keep himself from doing just that.
“Make sure to illustrate that my novice is a princess.”
Several of the tailers looked at the fury.
“A genuine fury princess,” Dallion added. The wave of anger emanating from Diroh’s calm surface let him know that he had done his job.
You’re getting your sense of humor back, the armadil shield said.
Did I ever lose it? Dallion asked mentally.
Do you really want me to give you an honest answer?
Dallion was just about to respond when the dryad guardian continued without giving him the chance.
Didn’t think so.
Watching the tailors perform their craft was both fascinating and pitiful. Able to see their stats, Dallion knew their level was well in the fifties, along with the skills to match. Each of them individually would have the strength to defeat armies, fight monsters, even take down a chainling if provided with the necessary equipment. Instead, they spent their time making clothes based on the archduke’s whim.
The colors chosen for Dallion combined blue, purple, and cyan, with a little bit of black here and there. The end result was formal, yet simple: a standard set of deep blue gem thread trousers and a vest to match, combined with a long-sleeved cyan shirt. The boots were dark purple, matching with his short cloak. Definitely not a combination he’d consider or even find suitable, but looking at the final result in the mirror, there could be no doubt that it was eye-catching.
By the time Diroh’s “group” arrived, Dallion’s tailors were finishing up the final touches, adding a few decorative elements here and there. It didn’t skip his attention that none of them had examined any of his weapons.
“No changes to my gear?” he asked.
The head tailor shook his head.
“Afraid not,” a new voice said from the far corner of the room.
Looking in the direction, Dallion saw a new person standing there: a tall male figure dressed in an expensive black outfit with a domino mask covering half of his face. Two things were notable about the newcomer: he was someone Dallion had met before, and his hair was platinum blond.
“The archduke prefers that the only weapons at the banquet are his.”
“Overseer.” Dallion wasn’t certain whether he was supposed to nod or not. In the end, he chose not to. “I would have thought that mages are exempt.”
“A logical assumption, thus completely wrong.”
Not to mention absurd, Dallion thought. Spellcasting allowed him to summon his weapons with ease, not to mention cause more devastation than he could with his harpsisword.
“I don’t make the rules. I just make sure they’re enforced.”
The tailors quickly finished with the final touches and left the room, leaving Dallion and the overseer alone. No sooner had they done so than the door vanished, transforming into another part of the wall.
“Champion, then hero, and now mage.” The overseer smiled. “You really have no limit.”
“I’d like to think so.” Dallion kept posing in front of the mirror, checking out the final design of his outfit. It was flawless, even if completely impractical. “Lux,” he said.
The bladebow rose up into the air, then carefully examined him with the kaleidovristo sight. Not finding any lingering echoes or anything else alarming, the weapon then descended onto one of the small tables.
“Any other warnings?” Dallion asked.
“I’m just here to escort you and your “novice.” Nothing more.”
“A-ha.” Dallion wasn’t convinced.
“You’ve been here before, so you know how things work. I’ll be outside when you’re ready.” The door to the room re-emerged. “One final thing. Itella’s also here.” The overseer vanished.
Itella? Dallion thought.
That was one of the archduke’s children, though not a particularly capable one. Dallion had clashed with him twice. Once he defeated him during the Nerosal Festival tournament, and the next right here in front of his father. There was no doubt that the noble held no warm feelings towards Dallion, but it was absurd to think he’d go against a mage.
“I’m not playing your games,” Dallion said, glancing at his weapons. Nothing stopped him from taking a dagger just in case. On the other hand, there was something better he could do.
“Keep an eye on each other,” Dallion folded his own clothes then arranged them on the bed. While doing so he took ruby and placed it on his shoulder. The shardfly’s new illusion powers helped him blend in perfectly, taking on the form of a shoulder button.
Gathering his thoughts one final time, Dallion left the room. To his surprise, Diroh was already there, dressed in a long gown that sparkled as if made of snow. White and cyan combined, creating the appearance of ice and crystals, but that was not all. The tailors had taken the pain to add some jewelry to the ensemble: rings, arm bracelets, as well as a tiara. Dallion also noticed that the fury had added an accessory of her own—a necklace composed of large, flawless pearls.
“Told you to keep her hidden,” he sighed, casting a masking spell on the cloud creature.
“Hey,” Diroh pulled away. “There’s no need for that. The pearls are just fine as they were.”
In all truth, they probably were, but Dallion didn’t want to risk there being a device or otherworlder that could see that the cloud fox wasn’t from this world.
“Put my things in the room, please,” he said.
“Why? I think they’re fine where they are?” Air currents took Dallion’s belongings one by one and stacked them neatly away, as requested.
With a nod of approval, Dallion proceeded to go outside.
The overseer accompanied the pair to the grand stairway leading to the palace. Three pairs of marble statues rose on both sides, an homage to the previous archdukes of the Lanitol family. And just as before, one of them remained half destroyed. The reason, from what Dallion had been told, was that those who didn’t have the power to prevent a civil war did not deserve to remain unpunished. It was interesting to see whether the same principle would be applied to the current archduke’s statue. Most probably not.
“It’s rather nice,” Diroh said, admiring the craftsmanship as they passed.
“It was better last time,” Dallion whispered.
“How many noble banquets have you been to?”
“Just one.”
During his previous visit with March and Eury, crystal shardflies had filled the air, directing the guests to the entrance. After what had happened at the Academy, it was understandable why Archduke Lanitol would prefer to avoid having them. Hopefully, he had only cast them out of the city and not killed them.
A few steps before the entrance, Dallion suddenly stopped.
“Anything the matter?” The overseer looked over his shoulder.
“No,” Dallion lied. “Didn’t expect the nostalgia to hit me.”
In reality, he had found what had been bothering him ever since arriving to the city. The place was too quiet. With the level of his empathy trait, there should have been thousands of guardians eager to have a chat. Some should have remembered him from last time. And yet, he couldn’t hear a single voice: neither creature, plant, nor guardian. If he didn’t know better, he’d almost think he was in the middle of the wilderness.
“The archduke is waiting,” the overseer reminded. “There’ll be more nostalgia inside.”
A dozen yellow-clad servants were present once Dallion entered the palace lobby. Last time, one of them had made sure to snobbishly tell Dallion the rules of proper etiquette. With Dallion being a mage now, all of them bowed without a word, letting him pass.
“Enjoying yourself?” the overseer asked, leading the way.
“A bit,” Dallion replied. “I take it I’m to be in the main hall this time?”
The overseer chuckled.
Dallion was just about to make some snarky comment when a voice sounded in his head.
Careful, an item guardian whispered. They’re out to get you.

2023.06.06 19:27 DuncanStudios2000 Chapter4 pt 2&3 of 6, of Dragons of Fireborne

Here's another part of the book I'm writing... All opinions accepted!!
It was about 2 AM and Keith was still standing watch, a guard walked up to him. “Lord Keith, perhaps my guards can take your place,” the man said. Keith continued to watch the forest. “I was sent here to protect my Queen, so I will protect my Queen,” he said to the guard.
The guard nodded and continued his watch. Keith stood still watching the forest, he thought he saw movement in the brush. Keith stared intently at the brush, it moved. He was certain something was there now. Keith walked closer to the brush. Suddenly a small white Ice hare jumped out startling Keith.
The hare bounced toward the other side of the clearing, and Keith watched it disappear. Suddenly several others jumped out and bolted for the other side, Keith jumped back. Seeing the hares jump around the camp distracted him, then he heard it.
A small snap sounded; Keith whirled around, seeing nothing he approached the brush, and suddenly he felt it, a small tremor unmistakable this time. He stepped back, relieving his sword from its sheath he prepared himself, the guards came to him noticing the vibrations too. They unsheathed their swords preparing for battle, but nothing showed, the clearing was clear.
Keith listened carefully for the thing, feeling the vibrations in the ground, he looked over at the camp. “It’s at the camp!” He whispered to the guards. The guards turned but saw nothing, but the containers of mortrew and meat rolling around. Keith walked forward slowly, he could smell rotting flesh, it was awful, he gagged as he got closer.
The pots fell open and the food spilled out, Keith still couldn’t see what it was, maybe it was small, he thought. A quiet snarling sound was heard, the smell was unbearable now, and Keith was just a few yards away from the thing.
He thought he saw the background ripple a little, he looked carefully, then he saw it, a Death Eater. Keith crept back towards the guards. “It’s a Death Eater!” He whispered to them. The commander looked but saw nothing. “How do you know?” He asked quietly. Keith continued to keep his eyes on it to not lose sight of it. “They can camouflage,” he said. The guards prepared their swords, they could hear the drake breathing, it was raspy and narrow.
Draco was lying peacefully until she heard something, she opened her eyes and looked around the litter but saw nothing. She sat up, still hearing a small noise, she could smell something terrible too. Draco sat silently, listening and smelling, then it came to her. There were Death Eaters nearby!
She got up and poked her head out of the litter, but saw nothing. She stepped out noticing Keith and some of the guards on the other side of the clearing. Keith saw her and beckoned her to get back in the palanquin, she stepped out and looked around.
She saw the food was spilled and something was eating it, her eyes widened knowing what it was. The creature still couldn’t be seen but Draco knew it was there. She slowly and quietly stepped back into the palanquin but cracked a twig on the snow. Dammit, she said in her head. The creature’s munching stopped.
She could smell the rotting flesh from its breath as it snorted and sniffed around. She stood still but she knew the drake already sees her. Keith inched forward but the commander stopped him. Keith looked at him worried, the commander stepped forward and began clapping his sword against his shield.
The other guards stepped forward as well and did the same, Keith heard the drake snarl, and then it showed itself. A 26-foot tall 54-foot-long pitch-black wingless drake stood tall against the guards, it roared, waking the rest of the guards, the roar was deafening. The guards scrambled around revealing their swords, the Death Eater stood tall and bellowed again, launching itself toward the guards.
The creature snatched up a guard and chopped at him; the guard screamed, and the other guards ran around swinging their swords at the beast. The Death Eater snapped its jaws shut on the guard and he split in half and fell to the ground, some of the guards drew bows and shot at the beast. The creature snatched up another guard and devoured him whole, Draco stepped forward and shot a pillar of fire at the creature, it screeched and jumped back.
Dagon and Zorr-EL leaped out of the palanquin and joined Draco in the cover of the trees as the guards surrounded the monstrosity. The Death Eater swung its 8-inch claws and sliced a guard clean in half, Keith leaped forward and stabbed the creature in the breast.
The animal let out a loud screech and rolled back, snarling at Keith, it lunged at another guard attempting to eat him, Keith swung his sword with all his might and cut the beast’s arm off.
The drake screeched loudly and slunk back, Keith stood his ground and positioned himself ready to fight, and the drake again lunged at Keith opening its jaws wide, Keith braved his arm and jabbed the creature straight down the throat.
The beast squirmed back and convulsed on the ground, it attempted to bite at Keith and he drove his sword straight into the beast’s large skull. A loud crack and the beast convulsed violently for a few seconds before completely dying.

2023.06.06 19:26 dark-jester Any SouthPark bike commuters??

I have lived in Steele Creek for about 7 years (near the Rivergate area). If you know that location, u know there is no way to avoid S Tryon if you work uptown. That commute is 1.5 hrs for me and I am not always in the mood to cycle for that long. Anyway I’m planning to move to the Southpark area and curious what routes you all use to commute to uptown? Let’s say starting around the South Park mall. Should I take Park Rd until I reach the Park Rd shopping center then use the greenways from there? Or can I avoid Park Rd altogether?

2023.06.06 19:26 petiteminotaure Need help figuring out if we have bedbugs!

Context: We’ve been traveling and stayed at a hotel in Athens. My son had a few bites and I decided to check the beds just in case. I pulled up the fitted sheet and immediately saw a little brown bug there right in the open. Wish I’d taken a picture to post here. No poop or casings or any other evidence. Husband convinced me it was probably a random bug and we forgot about it and left a few days later.
Next place we headed was a housesit on Crete. Clean house, really nice. They have some plug in bug repellent things and told us that noseeums/biting midges come in through the screens. Only one person in their family gets bit up but she gets it bad. We turned the things off the first couple days but after I felt something biting me I’m the living room we turned them back on.
Now suddenly after being here 2 weeks my 3 year old is absolutely covered in bites. We seem to notice them in the morning. My daughter sleeping in the same room had none at first but now a few days after he started getting them she has a few as well. We moved the plug in repellent into their room and they still get bit. Also should mention that we stored our empty luggage in that room and my sons bed is closest to it.
Reason I’m worried it’s bedbugs is because some of the bites are in a line. But honestly there’s so many now that he just looks covered. But my daughter now has 3 in a row on her butt. Which is also weird because she wears underwear.
We’ve also spent time outdoors, at the beach, in the garden and by a creek. I have a couple bites but my husband has none. They are much smaller than mosquito bites. Some don’t even look red at first and then later turn more red.
I’ve inspected all the bedding and mattresses and crevices in the bed. No signs. One little blood mark on my sons bed but he also had scabs he scratched open. He wakes me often in the night because he’s a poor sleeper and I checked for bugs at that time and saw nothing. The way he looks I almost imagine I would come into find him covered in bugs!
Is it possible that we brought a bedbug in with us 2 weeks ago and it could already produce that kind of biting? I assume that would mean there’s already a lot of them and I don’t know how fast an infestations occurs.
Is there any other way I can confirm if there are bedbugs?

2023.06.06 19:24 kylexyz001 23 [M4F] Ohio/Worldwide- Let's Be Each Other's Everything (Longest post ever?)

Brace yourselves, this is gonna be a long one.
Table of Contents
1…… The Main Goal
2…… What I’m Seeking
3…… Personality
4…… Interests
5…… Physical Characteristics (with pics)
6…… Expectations of You
7…… Living Situation
8…… Deal Breakers
9…… Closing Remarks
(1)
The Main Goal:
Well if you’re browsing this subreddit then much like me, you were alone this weekend and I’m sure you’d like to change that as much as me. I won’t lie, I am going through a rough part of my life right now. It’s difficult for me to find the energy for anything at the moment and I’m just really seeking affection in general, anything that will give me a push. I don’t want to be that person who brings everyone down but I could really use someone to talk to right now. I’d really like to find someone who’s similar to me so much to the point that we do everything together and talk about everything while not having to pretend to be interested. I want someone with whom we can mutually spew our emotions onto and have those feelings reciprocated. Not an emotional punching bag, but an emotional teddy bear to hug and cuddle until everything feels better as many times as we need. There’s people who I’m sure have told you the same, they’ll be there no matter how many times you need the support, no matter how many times the insecurities and bad thoughts come back but they don’t mean it. I will be the exception, I’m not so ignorant to think some nice words and tales of relating to you will magically forever heal whatever ails you then get mad when you seek the same support again. Mental ailments are rarely temporary and I don’t care about someone because they’re perfect, caring about someone means being there no matter how many times they need you to be. It doesn’t feel like a chore, it doesn’t get old, and it never will.

(2.a)
What I'm Seeking:
I will upfront let you know if I’m clicking better with someone else or if you’re the one, I’m not here to tread the sea of fish or keep my options open, I’m here for one singular person.
(2.b)
Relationship:
A relationship is difficult for me right now, it’s been nearly half a year since I got out of my last relationship and the reasons for it ending are partially responsible for how I’ve been feeling and why it’s so hard for me to seek the comfort I so desperately crave. I will tell you about it but for the sake of not treating the entirety of the internet as my therapist, it’ll be in private. I really need the comfort of intimacy and the warmth of someone who cares. I'm not going to feel better if I just sulk and don’t move on. This is my attempt to get better, I’ll admit I’m not great right now and I don’t expect you to be either. If we can help each other heal, then I’d be more than happy :) A relationship isn’t just being there for when someone’s at their best. Even if a relationship is hard at the moment, I do want a life partner and I don’t want to be alone. Things aren’t going to get easier without you so I don’t want to hesitate. I view my other as an equal, I don’t like categorizing us into specific roles. We take care of each other and treat each other how we like to be treated, whatever that is, it's as simple as that. I don't care if you're "successful" or not, living simple lives with our days filled with love is the ultimate measure of success to me.

Personality:
(3.a)
On the Surface:
As you can tell I can be rather… stoic but that’s largely due to my current stressors, I truthfully am goofy and fun loving but I just can’t find it in me right now. I want to return to that but without someone to light up my world it’s been difficult to just have fun and enjoy stuff. I’m definitely more introverted, you won’t catch me at any parties or really outside at all. I definitely prefer being home though the occasional outing is not out of the question and one day I’d like to travel to other countries because I think that kind of perspective is important.
(3.b)
The Core of My Being:
I like being a spectator to it all and if we bear witness to humanity burning or its miraculous recovery, I want to watch it with you. I enjoy watching humanity advance, less so when it devolves but I want to watch it to the end nonetheless. I’m both a realist and someone who lives with my head in the clouds dreaming of scenarios or worlds that don’t exist. I’m saying that I enjoy a good narrative and can suspend my disbelief to enjoy something but you won’t catch me refusing vaccines or ignoring blatant facts for the sake of some pseudo science or witch doctor’s remedy. I’m an atheist but I do not rule out existence after death, not because I’m agnostic but because due to the nature of potentially infinite time at some point after how many googol years with a googol amount of 0s after that, something’s bound to replicate your consciousness perfectly at some point. It’s actually a really fascinating topic I like talking about. If infinite time and infinite possibilities exist, does non existence exist? Though that’s an awfully existentially dreadful thought process considering the ramifications of infinite existence and infinite possibilities during said infinite existence. I would say I’m confidently left leaning and I don’t think I could truly get along with anyone right leaning, at least America’s definition of right leaning. Left and right seems to have just become; do people deserve to suffer or do they deserve to live good lives? Being political is not something I expected to become but how can you not be when crimes against human rights are being passed on a daily basis and at the end of the day, everything’s political. Oftentimes I imagine the perfect moment as relaxing with my significant other playing games or cuddling in a cold room under blankets.
I value that special someone above all of the existential thoughts, the bad of the world, the good of the world, they practically become my world. So many worries wash away when I’m with them. I don’t know if that’s the defense mechanism my brain created to not feel bad 24/7 but if it is, I’m currently without it.
(3.c)
Insecurities:
I talk of philosophy and politics here but really I spend most of my time just playing games, watching stuff, and trying to not be sleep deprived. I’m also nowhere near as well spoken, heck sometimes I feel like my speech is broken. I won’t claim to be something I’m not, I sit at home while I complain about the world doing nothing about it wishing I had someone here with me. I’m not noble nor do I really want to be, I have morals I uphold but much like most other hypocrites I acknowledge that my comfortable life is built on the suffering of others without doing anything about it. Why? My sleep problems? Am I depressed? Is that why I have no energy to do anything? Do I just think nothing I could do could help? I can’t nail it down myself, maybe it’s a mix of everything, maybe I’m just a bad person. I have always told myself that if I had wealth I would help people but if I get that kind of wealth will I just become a wealth hoarder who tries to justify my riches as something I earned rather than something given to me through incredibly lucky circumstances? If I do help people is it because I’m a good person or out of guilt? Will I die alone? I feel like I drive everyone away with my clinginess, I get paranoid often and need reassurance often. It’s something I want to work on, something I’ve been trying to work on. Hearing that someone cares about me just never gets old. I value self awareness even if it’s painful.
(3.d)
Socializing:
I’m definitely a socially anxious/awkward mess, especially around strangers. I do feel a large amount of anxiety in public, people can’t tell by looking at my face since I kind of go stone faced in an attempt to block everything out but yeah you’ll notice that if we go out in public. Growing up my pediatrician said I was probably autistic, never got a formal diagnosis so that’s just great. But yeah that explains why I can’t make eye contact with people, I kinda just stare at the ground and avoid their gaze at all costs. A lot of these social struggles go away to a great degree once I know you for a bit but yeah I apologize for how terrible I am at socializing at first. Don’t let my social struggles fool you though, I love cuddling and being close with my person.
(3.e)
Sexuality:
I am a heterosexual male, though I’m not very masculine like at all. I may even be a bit feminine sometimes. Not that I believe any activity or manner of acting belongs to a gender but I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m definitely super affectionate and love it when my partner is too. I am open to dating demi people but I do have a libido so I don't think asexual would work out.
(4)
Interests:
(4.a)
Video Games:
As stated before, I do spend a lot of my time playing video games. It’s been hard lately with me having no energy but I really do want to play more games and have a good time playing them with you! I primarily play on PC though I do have a switch. I’m primarily into platform fighters, roguelikes, open world, survival, and sandbox games. As for single player story games, I enjoy watching them through twitch or youtube but for the most part I don’t play them myself. I’d watch you play them though!
Here’s a list of games we can play:
-Minecraft (Java)
-Risk of Rain 2
-Gunfire Reborn
-Roboquest
-7 Days to Die
-Phasmophobia
-Rust
-Unturned
-Bloons TD 6
-Platform fighters: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Slap City, Multiversus, Flash Party, Fraymakers
Whatever you want to play I’ll give it a shot! I will say that League bores me to death but I’ll play it for you :) I try to avoid MMOs, not because I don’t like them but because of how addicted I can get to them. I enjoy learning games in-depth so MMOs can be a fast track to addiction.
I recently got Kerbal Space Program 2 and ehhh not really worth it right now but hopefully later it will be? I’m super excited for Tears of the Kingdom! In the far off future I’m excited for Rivals of Aether 2 which is a platform fighter releasing in 2024, let me know of your most anticipated releases and I’ll see if I could play them with you!
Also I never got into FPS games but I could totally see myself playing like CoD with you or Escape From Tarkov. Any FPS really, I’m down.
I am a fan of Pokemon but with how things have been lately I don’t know how long that will last. Pixelmon is a common Pokemon mod I play for Minecraft if you want to play that! Also if I say I want to play something with you I mean it but there are often times when no matter how much I want to I'm just drained and can do little more than lay in bed so please don't think I'm making an excuse.
(4.b)
Science:
I really enjoy keeping up with the latest advances in pretty much everything, it could be biology, technology, astronomy, anything! I love seeing progression and I love talking about it! Really I could go on and on about what I’m obsessing about that day. I particularly love technology, ask me for my laptop specs I dare you. When I was little I always wanted to be a scientist of any kind but then insomnia and fear of college stuff hit me like a truck aaaand that’s the end of that dream.
(4.c)
Anime:
You got me, I like anime but I’d like to think my tastes are benign.
Here’s some of my favorites I can list from the top of my head:
- To Your Eternity
- Vinland Saga
- Spice and Wolf
- Re:Zero
- Mob Psycho
- Dr. Stone
- Attack on Titan
- Spy x Family
- My Hero Academia
- Ranking of Kings
- Demon Slayer
Okay I can go on and on but I will say I don’t like pointless fan service and the spamming of cliche anime moments. I mostly enjoy action and anything well animated if it doesn’t have a potato story. Heck Demon Slayer could be my top 3 out of season 2’s animation alone. I don’t watch slice of life often or romance but I would with you!
(4.d)
Misc:
I’m not going to go on and on about the tiniest little things when the main ones are covered but I’ll watch pretty much any show with you and anything really. I like random youtube videos that explain some kind of lore or mystery, sometimes mini documentaries too.
As for food I looove sushi and I’m a sucker for fast food. Okay and candy, definitely candy.
I used to play tennis but haven’t really had the opportunity nor friends to play it with and I’m way too socially anxious to seek it out. Also I will say that when we move to something like discord I type waaaay more casually. I’m not going to expect long paragraphs back and forth like we’re writing English papers for each other, I do enjoy long conversations but seriously don’t worry about having to put the utmost effort into every response, I just like making good first impressions I guess.
(5)
(5.a)
My Physical Characteristics:
I’m 5’8 (172cm), 128 pounds (58kg), with curly brown hair and blue eyes. I like keeping my hair long in the winter and cutting it in the summer. I’m pretty slim in general so if you’re looking for someone large, that’s not me. I don’t work out but my work is pretty physical so at least I’m not totally inactive. I don’t have the urge to work out or gain muscle but I do want to maintain my slim figure so if I start losing control of that I’ll work out. I like to keep my face shaved because I don’t think I look good with a beard/mustache so if you’re into those I apologize. I have an average amount of body hair? I’d prefer to be completely shaved but it’s easy to lose motivation with that battle, if you prefer shaved then I’d have no problem complying. Anyways here’s what I look like: https://imgur.com/a/MZZgf2t
(5.b)
My Physical Preferences:
Having physical preferences makes me feel shallow, if I could make myself not have them I would but unfortunately that’s now how that works. I don’t care if you’re shorter or taller than me and I don’t care if you weigh more or less than me. All I ask is that you’re slim-average weight. I would never ask for someone to be something I’m not. I don’t care about tattoos or piercings.
(6)
Expectations of You:
I am not looking for someone “exciting” or someone to “keep me on my toes” I’m not looking for someone to cater to my every whim or anything like that. I don’t care if you’re “boring” or if you aren’t “successful”. I know it’s a common thing for people to not want a “boring” relationship and to seek something argumentative or something with constant challenges but I just want to be with you. During the exciting times, the boring times, and everything in-between, all of it will be great with you! Maybe we do argue sometimes or maybe there will be challenges but that will never be something I purposefully seek out and I don’t want that to be something you seek out either. I will not play tricks on you and I will not play mind games, I expect the same from you. We all have personal measures of success we may or may not have lived up to but what I care about most is our commitment to each other. If we have each other we can get through tough times, near the ends of our lives I want us to look back and feel that this life together was worth more than anything. That’s not saying I want us to be haphazard, I don’t want us to make poor decisions for the sake of yolo and I want us to always be rational, especially with each other. I want you to be someone I can trust to make decisions and weigh the options with a level head, I’ll try my best to live up to the same for you. Most of all I want empathy, understanding, someone to feel the utmost comfort and trust in.
(7)
Living Situation:
Currently my life is pretty relaxed, I work 3 times a week as a night shift stocker. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my roommate but we’re looking to move into someplace larger by the end of the year if everything works out. The internet is weirdly great for Ohio too like I have fiber and later this year we’re supposed to be getting dedicated fiber so that’s neat. I’m not attached to Ohio so the ultimate goal living location wise is probably moving to a country that won’t send you into a lifetime of dealing with the repercussions from one medical emergency.
(8)
Deal Breakers:
Might as well make this simple and make it a list.
- Anti-vaxxers
- Unironically believing astrology
- Right wingers
- Hard drugs (occasional 420 and alcohol is fine, may even join you)
- Wanting children, there was a time when I was younger when I wanted children but with the state of the word that’s a definite no and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. I’d love a stress free life with as much time with you as possible.
- Homophobic
- Transphobic
- Racist
- Super Religious
- Don’t be a bigot and don’t deny facts.
(9)
Closing Remarks:
Well you made it, I was thinking that finding someone I’d be willing to put a lifetime of effort into at least required this much effort. If I think of anything more I’ll update the post. Also about timezones, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. I don’t have a sleep schedule and I have most of the week off from work so it really doesn’t matter.
I request that in your response you do put effort into it, it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as long as this but at least enough so I know that you read this and enough about you so I know why you saw potential compatibility. I will seriously read all of it and respond the best I can. I do also request a pic included in your response (sfw please) or one soon after we start talking to prove identity, I’ll send identity proving pics too. As long as this post is up, you can send a reply!

2023.06.06 19:24 DuncanStudios2000 Chapter 4 pt 2&3 of 6

Dragons of Fireborne is a book I've created and I'm working on getting it published... Here's a part to one of my chapters... All opinions allowed!!
It was about 2 AM and Keith was still standing watch, a guard walked up to him. “Lord Keith, perhaps my guards can take your place,” the man said. Keith continued to watch the forest. “I was sent here to protect my Queen, so I will protect my Queen,” he said to the guard.
The guard nodded and continued his watch. Keith stood still watching the forest, he thought he saw movement in the brush. Keith stared intently at the brush, it moved. He was certain something was there now. Keith walked closer to the brush. Suddenly a small white Ice hare jumped out startling Keith.
The hare bounced toward the other side of the clearing, and Keith watched it disappear. Suddenly several others jumped out and bolted for the other side, Keith jumped back. Seeing the hares jump around the camp distracted him, then he heard it.
A small snap sounded; Keith whirled around, seeing nothing he approached the brush, and suddenly he felt it, a small tremor unmistakable this time. He stepped back, relieving his sword from its sheath he prepared himself, the guards came to him noticing the vibrations too. They unsheathed their swords preparing for battle, but nothing showed, the clearing was clear.
Keith listened carefully for the thing, feeling the vibrations in the ground, he looked over at the camp. “It’s at the camp!” He whispered to the guards. The guards turned but saw nothing, but the containers of mortrew and meat rolling around. Keith walked forward slowly, he could smell rotting flesh, it was awful, he gagged as he got closer.
The pots fell open and the food spilled out, Keith still couldn’t see what it was, maybe it was small, he thought. A quiet snarling sound was heard, the smell was unbearable now, and Keith was just a few yards away from the thing.
He thought he saw the background ripple a little, he looked carefully, then he saw it, a Death Eater. Keith crept back towards the guards. “It’s a Death Eater!” He whispered to them. The commander looked but saw nothing. “How do you know?” He asked quietly. Keith continued to keep his eyes on it to not lose sight of it. “They can camouflage,” he said. The guards prepared their swords, they could hear the drake breathing, it was raspy and narrow.
Draco was lying peacefully until she heard something, she opened her eyes and looked around the litter but saw nothing. She sat up, still hearing a small noise, she could smell something terrible too. Draco sat silently, listening and smelling, then it came to her. There were Death Eaters nearby!
She got up and poked her head out of the litter, but saw nothing. She stepped out noticing Keith and some of the guards on the other side of the clearing. Keith saw her and beckoned her to get back in the palanquin, she stepped out and looked around.
She saw the food was spilled and something was eating it, her eyes widened knowing what it was. The creature still couldn’t be seen but Draco knew it was there. She slowly and quietly stepped back into the palanquin but cracked a twig on the snow. Dammit, she said in her head. The creature’s munching stopped.
She could smell the rotting flesh from its breath as it snorted and sniffed around. She stood still but she knew the drake already sees her. Keith inched forward but the commander stopped him. Keith looked at him worried, the commander stepped forward and began clapping his sword against his shield.
The other guards stepped forward as well and did the same, Keith heard the drake snarl, and then it showed itself. A 26-foot tall 54-foot-long pitch-black wingless drake stood tall against the guards, it roared, waking the rest of the guards, the roar was deafening. The guards scrambled around revealing their swords, the Death Eater stood tall and bellowed again, launching itself toward the guards.
The creature snatched up a guard and chopped at him; the guard screamed, and the other guards ran around swinging their swords at the beast. The Death Eater snapped its jaws shut on the guard and he split in half and fell to the ground, some of the guards drew bows and shot at the beast. The creature snatched up another guard and devoured him whole, Draco stepped forward and shot a pillar of fire at the creature, it screeched and jumped back.
Dagon and Zorr-EL leaped out of the palanquin and joined Draco in the cover of the trees as the guards surrounded the monstrosity. The Death Eater swung its 8-inch claws and sliced a guard clean in half, Keith leaped forward and stabbed the creature in the breast.
The animal let out a loud screech and rolled back, snarling at Keith, it lunged at another guard attempting to eat him, Keith swung his sword with all his might and cut the beast’s arm off.
The drake screeched loudly and slunk back, Keith stood his ground and positioned himself ready to fight, and the drake again lunged at Keith opening its jaws wide, Keith braved his arm and jabbed the creature straight down the throat.
The beast squirmed back and convulsed on the ground, it attempted to bite at Keith and he drove his sword straight into the beast’s large skull. A loud crack and the beast convulsed violently for a few seconds before completely dying.

2023.06.06 19:23 Ven2284 People talking about this dying in weeks due to endgame are delusional

The amount of “game will die once everyone gets to endgame” comments I’m seeing is insane. It’s like all the super try hards (I’m 60 with full renown with 400 hours last POE season before you call me a “toxic casual”) have all talked themselves into thinking they will make a break a game that will sale 30-50 million copies LOL. The beta alone had 3.5+ million people.
You claiming you’re “bored” and hate the end game loop is a you thing. Most of my friends are having a blast. Could it be better? 100%. I want those kill all quest GONE, a gem bag, better scaling in mid game etc etc. Game needs feed back for sure but it’s still solid at launch.
People acting as reviews don’t matter are the same delusional people who sit with their 5 friends in discord laughing about how everyone quit D3 when each season brought back a ton of people. You’re so far up your own %#* that you have convinced yourself that you can effect games that sale millions of copies due to not liking a skill tree layout lol.
You all vastly underestimate how many people will buy battle passes for cosmetics, play to like 45-55, and then come back the next. I have issues getting all my friends to play POE with me due to being overwhelmed yet was easy to get them to try D3. D4 will be held up by the causal crowd as much as the hard core, if not more.
TL;DR Stop acting as if your 10000 hour ARPG %# is going to decide if D4 is a success. It already is and nothing you can say or do will change that. If this game “dies” it will be years from now and not due to you not being able to play for 500 hours a season without being bored.

2023.06.06 19:23 YT_ReadyPlayerWill Examining the Power Creep Post-3rd Anniversary

I've been meaning to make a video on this, but I've got some time in office that I'm inspired and just wanting to put pen to paper. I wanted to talk a little bit about power creep, some of the mechanics and metrics that are more heavily emphasized post-3rd anniversary, that distances many of the old units compared to the newer units. This isn't even taking into account the effect of Reincarnations at the top end of the game.

Effective HP

Effective HP is a measurement that basically takes a units HP level, and adjusts it to compensate for metrics like DEF/SPWeapon Resistances, so that you get a better idea of their overall survivability. The best example I always give is to rationalize it. Let's say you have a unit with 8,000 HP and 0% Slash Res. And a unit with 8,000 and 50% Slash Res.
While their HP levels are equal. Their effective HP (or eHP) most certainly is not. The 2nd unit, when receiving a slash attack, has an effective HP of 16,000 ( 8,000 \ [ 1 - .5] ). This is a way to normalize HP levels so that you're taking into account as many metrics about them as possible.
The units that have come out post 3rd anniversary have all skewed FAR higher in Base HP, but also more generally in their resists. We're seeing far more double digit positive resists on newer characters, and very little of the deep negatives.
There was a time at the outset of the game that as DEF, SPR, and Resistances rose, they were the biggest determining factors to eHP, but nowadays with the amount of penetrations that exist, a units actual HP seems to be a better metric for their survivability. Just as examples, units like Sephiroth and Bradley have no Defense or Spirit at all, because they rely far more on their actual HP levels, as well as other mechanics like Element Resistance AOE Resistance, which we'll talk more about right now.

Impenetrable Resistances

For quite some time now, the playerbase has known that impenetrable resistances like AOE Res, Unit Res, and Element Res were what set units apart from others, as the level of DEF/SPR and Weapon Penetrations rose. We saw the decline of the "tank" role specifically because of it, and so units that have historically relied on their penetrable resists are relatively much worse off nowadays, as units will routinely hit 80 to 100 DEF/SPR Pen, and top tier units will hit 60-100 Weapon Penetrations quite easily as well. So units that relied on these two metrics, don't fare nearly as well in the modern era of the game.
AOE Resistance in particular is the newest meta definer, as many of these top tier units very very heavily rely on their AOE Abilities as some of their largest sources of damage. Units that lack this innately, take far more damage than the newer counterparts that can quite easily get into the 40-80 AOE Range. Winged Sterne and Hyoh are some of the notable examples, but more and more you're also seeing units that have AOE Up Buffs in their kit that generally help with this as well.

Barrier Reliance

For the better part of a year, metas lived and died with units who had innate barrier usage in them. Esther, Flagbearer Glaciela, Halloween Lucia, Lightning (XIII), Oberon, all set the bar for damage dealers because of their innate barrier access, and the Black Rose Helena TMR was a staple for magic damage dealers and supports for that increased survivability. Those days are gone at this point. That's not to say barriers are useless, they most definitely aren't. But they are far more easy to break with what characters offer now for general barrier breaks. Units who live and die by their barrier, without other forms of survivability to supplement it, will struggle comparitively.

Reraise/Courage Reliance

This mechanic was the bane of existance for lots of people for quite some time. These two mechanics aren't nearly as scary anymore as there's also tons of units who can dispel them. For characters that lived and died by this mechanic, you're going to see them struggle comparitively as well.
And not only from the survivability aspect, but modern units are getting buffs tied to their Courage or Reraise being active. This isn't necessarily new, we saw this with Astrius and his Courage for instance. But when you go up against some of the older units who dont have Courage/Reraise Dispel, these newer units will have a big statistical advantage over them with the attached buffs, in addition to the extra piece of survivability.
And so while abilities like a Paladin's Courage or the Zombie Mask TMR were disproportionately strong, they don't have the same impact as they once did, particularly because they don't come with attached buffs as well.

AP Management

There was a time that every single team had a unit who was using Xiza Bells in it, and while that's still true, more and more you see that TMR used as an Agility Stat stick and not even turned on. The reason? Newer units are getting far more benefits from internal AP Management, when it comes to buffs that have extra AP generated, AP Reduction, AP Acquisition buffs, etc. Units that don't have these innate AP strengths and still rely on Xiza Bells, effectively lose out on an entire turn compared to their enemies.
Where your unit might be using Xiza Bells, the other enemy is using a Buff that gives them an Offensive/Defensive advantage while simultaneously getting the same positive AP return.
This also intersects more generally with ATK/MAG Values and Penetrations as well. Characters that can't kill as fast, require more turns to do the job. More turns = more AP. So there's a very delicate balance too between having enough offensive potency to kill the enemies in time before their AP runs out. Newer units do this much better, older units don't.

Reaction Abilities

We're seeing more and more things tied to increased Reaction Abilities too. Not only are characters getting two Counter Abilities, but we're seeing units get Proc Rates that are in the 50-80% Chance to Proc range. This is a significant buff over older units who don't have innate Reaction Block in their kit either, as they'll feel the effects of those Counter Abiltiies more harshly. Units that can reduce that by 50% or 100% will not only reduce the randomness introduced into battle by Counter Abilities affecting it, but some of the extra power creep strength of units that have it as well.

What does this mean?

All in all, it just means we're in a new era of the game. The status quo of how we gauged units is evolving constantly. And now more than ever, the game is unfortunately jettisoning the balance into a mode of powercreep that needs to take these bulleted points above into account. Hope this was insightful!

Are these still worth it? I've seen it used to be Meta-ish a while back, I've pinned darkhawk, and sera expires in a few hours,
My CL is 792, and I use a destroy deck and a wong deck currently, although im open to trying out new decks, I don't have favorites or anything. I have the battle pass so i was thinking of making a move deck soon, just depends I guess
I just know sera is a top series 3 card i think?
I have 3400 in collector tokens, are the new cards worth saving up for?
Thanks in advance !
