RE:AI users re-create dead pilots’ voices from crash investigation docs
Yanami said: I don't really understand why so many people are bothered by voice recordings being released yet are perfectly fine with videos of the crash itself. Video of the last moments inside the cockpit would be worse. Video of the outside, I still find terrible and I avoid it, but it’s more distant from the squishy humans being squished so we’re less directly affected.

You WILL say hello. I will not get off this bus until you do.
After knee surgery I had a long recovery period in which my knee was stiff and slow. Out of an abundance of caution I stopped driving during during times or on roads that have heavy traffic because if I had to slam on the brakes becayse somebody made an illegal lane change, bad merge, darting out of a lot or side street... I worried that my knee would just be too slow to stop in time. Overly cautious but I'd rather drive only when sudden movement and pressure on my knee could hurt and damage things within the squishy bits. So on bsd days I take the regional shuttle service. Part of the public bus it offers door to door and seats 10 passengers or 6 + 2 wheelchairs. Out where I live usually about 4. While I am on the bus I put on my headphones and focus on work: emails, teams, maybe a work call, the point is I need to focus and concentrate. Head down, I don't even pay attention to others getting on and off. One woman, probably late 60s or early 70s demands that everybody acknowledges her. I usually sit in the back (quieter, less chit chat) but if I don't acknowledge her ahe will come to the back and wave her hand between my face and whatever I'm working on (video call, troubleshooting a script, writing an email or report) to force me to look up and will not leave until I say hello. She isnt special needs, she has at least a part time job in retirement working in a restaurant, she just expects me to drop whatever I'm doing no matter what it us and say hello, ignoring the obvious universal do not disturb sign of the over the ear headphones (impossible to miss) , and will walk past the open door to wave her hand in my face, not caring if I am talking with somebody or not. I have been in a teams call and ahe just stood there saying hello until I put the other person on mute to say it back. Fortunately once she gets a hello out of me she will ignore me the rest of the trip, but sometimes demands at least a nod as she gets off, requiring me to pay attemtion to her stop, even though I have much more important things to take care of than pay attention to who gets on or off just in case it happens to be thus one specific person submitted by /u/TheQuarantinian to r/EntitledPeople [link] [comments]

0.5 Return of the Ancients League Starter Build Index
I need your help! Please post any poe2 builds you come across, be they reddit posts, youtube videos, moba/maxoll guides, forum posts, etc. Then if you want to help out more if you're familiar with a build archetype have a look at other builds posted here, if they don't pass the sniff test please let me know. I will do my best to have a look at each build myself before adding it but as above I'm not an expert here and will need a hand. Thank you everyone who helps out, I always appreciate the community effort that goes into creating a resource like this. Please read this before continuing This is not the same as the /r/PathOfExileBuilds index you may be used to seeing. My POE2 knowledge is FAR worse than my POE1 and so it's more likely bait builds are likely to sneak their way into this post. I am putting this post together because people have asked for this as a resource. Please do your due diligence when picking a build. If you aren't confident picking I'd advise following a creator who you have previously followed to success or asking in the comments here, there are plenty of helpful people happy to give advice.

You guys are heavily overestimating Twister and it shows you never played the build.
As someone who actually plays Twister builds since 0.2 and always level at least one twister character per league (this league I leveled two actually), Twister is fun, feels good and it's kinda strong. That being said, I've decided to make some tests as twister leaguestart and I really don't know where all the "twister must be nerfed" discourse is coming from. Let's talk pros and cons Pros: It comes online really early, you only need two level 1 gems and everything else is just extra, builds like this feels really good to play Mapping is really smooth, you'll never have any problems just smashing through trash mobs Twisters can shotgun and melt bosses if properly positioned Works with almost any class and ascendancy Cons: Extremely gear dependant after act 4 Bossing after interludes suck ASS if you can't properly position the boss to get shotgunned by all twisters Very squishy at low attack speed (you'll get lots of hits trying to set up 3 whirling slashes) You can't reliably get elemental ground without uniques or lots of setups That does not make the build OP, it makes the build viable, but I still want to address some arguments made by the community about this build "It trivializes the campaign!" First of all, there are LOTS of builds that will trivialize the campaign, even on leaguestart, you probably just saw GuyThatDies beating his WR on twister and made the assumption that the build was busted for campaign, but if you actually saw the video you'd seen that his run was basically perfect RNG wise. If you want to trivialize the campaign, you will find lots of builds for that. "It comes online too easily!" So? There are builds and builds, some will come online at level 1 and work for the entire campaign and some will come online at interludes and you'll only experience them on maps. "Look at Prada's Abyssal Lich, it's way too op!" I saw this one yesterday and I was baffled. This is an uber endgame build that costs thousands of divines to even come online and most definitely should feel powerful for the sheer amount of time and dedication you have to put on it. What about after the campaign? This is where this build really starts to fall off and you need some good gear to get it going. Starting on interludes, bosses and trash mobs get more tanky, and this translates to maps as well, and I'm 100% sure of what I'm talking, start a twister build right now on SSF and compare your clear speed in acts 1-3 and then in acts 4-maps, it's day and night without proper gear. Conclusion: It's a good build, I'm not going to sit here telling you twister is trash, no, twister is great and a very reliable build to leaguestart, but it's not all of that people are saying, I hope twister discourse gets settled! submitted by /u/LarsRGS to r/PathOfExile2 [link] [comments]

How can Strange one-shot full HP squishies with only his E? (video proof)
According to the Marvel Rivals website, the max damage Strange can output using his E, even the teamup version, is 130HP. Despite that, in the clip, Strange manages to one-shot my full hp Adam, Invis and Pheonix with what appears to be his teamup E. Is that expected? Or is this some kind of bug? submitted by /u/Quirky_Atmosphere_49 to r/DrStrangeMains [link] [comments]

3K First Season Tanking using only 1 button and glowies
As the title states, this was my first season in which I focused on tanking. I came late into the season and read about the tank shortage and dps queues. Decided to roll tank and give it my best shot with the glowies. When I came back, the glowies were still limited to +5, but the following week they uncapped it. I almost exclusively used glowies as a guidance and played based on intuitive feel and party member feedback. Overtime there are pretty clear patterns in how Blizzard designs a dungeon to be pulled. I also have an addon that I would refer to sometimes (MDTHelper) which shows your MDT route on a minimap. I also made my push prior to hitting 280ilvl. I mostly ran my own keys and would just downgrade them to farm crests to raise ilvl. Majority of my climb and learning was when I was in the 260s and spamming 10s. Once I felt like I got the routes down then I just did a world tour and did all 12s in the high 260s and finished in the 270s. After this week I was able to jump to 280 as of just today. A lot of people complain about the squishiness of Pala. I personally only felt it when I ran in without defensives, ran in with my back to everything, ran in to too big of a pack, ignored pack mechanics, or my healer was afk. Other than that as long as I was aware of mechanics, I never would get one shot or be in a sketchy BDK situation. Majority of the times I am panicking over my party member's health and trying to hit them with BoS or Lay on Hands. I would typically run into packs with a defensive CD up, then I have a macro for wings/sentinel + combat potion + divine toll. And then I just hold X which is my keybind for the one button assist. I only really have to press defensives and utilities following this method. I think my best dungeon is probably WS due to me spamming it for Hero Track Heart of Wind. In the first room, my burst w/ lust usually peaks in the mid 400s. Extremely enjoyable and I will see how far I can continue to push it only following the glowies. Edit: There seems to be some curiosity behind why I actually use one button. I have carpal tunnel and I try my best not to aggravate it too much through gaming. Prot Pal always felt like I had to constantly be smashing buttons to min max dps, and I frankly just don't care that much since I'm a casual. Half the time I out dps geared DPS classes, perhaps not in single target on bosses, but in giant packs I absolutely smash and it feels AMAZING seeing the dps meter skyrocket your name to the top temporarily. Thankfully my livelihood is not dependent on my usage of a one button assistance in a video game, I'm not sponsored, I'm not a pro, I'm not a streamer. I'm just a chill cow trying to alleviate the "tank shortage". submitted by /u/fraser123567 to r/wow [link] [comments]

Deinfluencing you: Portland Leather Goods
I’ve been wanting to invest in a basic, good quality leather handbag without spending a fortune, so when I stumbled upon PLG I was thrilled to see most of the items were within my price range. Immediately fell in love with the Coldbrew Aspen shoulder bag, but decided to do my research first. I watched tons of unboxing videos, looked at reviews and photos, and scoured Reddit. Was totally fine with having an “entry level” bag as long as it was made with the beautiful puddly, rich dark brown leather I’d been seeing. Finally pulled the trigger and was SO excited for her to be delivered. Ya’ll, there is no way on God’s green earth this is the same bag I’ve been seeing in pictures and videos. There was zero leather smell when I opened the box. When I say the bag smells like the cheap knockoff purses I used to order on eBay when I was 16, I mean that. I was excited to feel the squishy/puddly leather, however this “leather” is incredibly stiff and dry with ZERO slouch. There’s also some type of weird waxy/chalky coating on it so it feels rough to the touch. The inside of the bag that’s supposed to be suede feels like a weird mixture of cork and felt? Again it’s incredibly stiff and rough to the touch. The “unfinished edges” on the shoulder strap literally feel like cork. You can see in the photo how dry and crumbly it looks. Touching and using this bag is a genuinely unpleasant experience. It’s stiff and uncomfortable with rough/hard edges everywhere. I am not a luxury bag collector with super high standards, just a girl on a single income hoping for an affordable leather bag. I really wanted to give this company the benefit of the doubt but it’s so bad 😭 I‘m having major regrets for not reviewing their return policy before ordering and cannot believe I have to pay $15 to return this. I’m so upset 😭 Don’t believe everything you see on the internet I ***UPDATE*** 4 days after I initially reached out to PLG’s customer service team to request a refund I was finally able to get a response via a comment they left on this post asking me to DM them with my order # and email. They ended up giving me a full refund and letting me keep the bag 🤷♀️ not sure I’ll be using it but hopefully I can find it a good home that’s not a landfill! submitted by /u/babealot to r/handbags [link] [comments]

Give me your Fursona and I'll turn them into a playable Minecraft Model! [Read body text!]
Repost because I accidentally deleted the video somehow?? I've figured out how to create my own models with BlockBench, how to insert them into Minecraft with Figura, and how to properly animate them with scripts. I'd love to create more but I don't really have any more characters. So I decided to ask here. You get a 100% free model with a few extras, I get to practice! - To use these models in game, you need to install Figura and Figura v5 Support. It's a mod for the versions 1.16.5 to 1.21.1 and available for Fabric, Forge, Neoforge, and Quilt. I can't help much with installing mods, but I can possibly recommend tutorials. Bedrock isn't supported, as far as I know. - You need a licensed Minecraft account. Figura uses your UUID to link an avatar to you, and Cracked Minecraft accounts don't have a proper one. You could still use the model locally, but only you'd be able to see it since you wouldn't be able to upload it to Figura's cloud. - I need a proper reference. AI doesn't count, and simple text descriptions aren't enough either. Full-body-refs would be optimal, but I can probably also work with only a headshot + description. - I can't estimate how long this will take. Might be 10 hours, might be 50 hours. My fursona is the only character I've done this with and I'm currently at about 12 hours of work spread out over two days. So the time depends on complexity of the model, my own motivation, and luck i guess? - Your model will come with Tail and Ear Physics, a random blinking animation, and 3 additional animations. You can choose whatever you want for those animations, I'll tell you if it's out of my technical abilities. I went with emotions for my fursona, but I'm pretty sure it can be anything. - Be warned, I have no clue how to script, so everything is based on YouTube tutorials, hopes, and prayers. Everything's probably unoptimized, clunky, and will possibly break, and I cant do anything about it. I don't know what to do about it. - Armor and Tail often clip the model as seen in the video and I have no clue how to fix it. Sorry. - I'm using Squishy API for the physics and for the random animations. You don't have to install anything for that, the modules and script will be included with the finished file I'll send you. You can manually tweak the parameters (which are explained here) by editing the script file. Sorry for the long wall of text, I just had a lot to say. This is my first time working with the medium and also doing anything commision-y/request-based like this, so I'd appreaciate if you all could be patient with me. I literally have no clue what I'm doing lol Feel free to ask questions, I'll answer to the best of my abilities! EDIT: I originally only wanted to do one model, just as a test. But suddenly there are over 70 different characters and they're all amazing. I would love to do every single request, but I literally can't. I just don't have the time. I've got schoolwork, other hobbies, and physical needs like sleeping and stuff. I'll make as many models as I can, but I don't know if I'll get much more than three done, not without burning out in some sense. I just switched from scripting in Notepad to Visual Studio Code. Farewell, my Notepad, you were a real one. I started working on the first model last night and gotta admit; I'm much slower than I hoped I would be. But I'm having fun, and I will be done soon c: I read and see every single comment, even if I don't reply. So keep sharing your sonas with me! submitted by /u/Minzfeder to r/furryteens [link] [comments]

I finally found Gale... at level 7.
So this is my first play through of BG3. Its been an absolute blast so far. I learned of the companions before I started playing via friends that were like "oh be sure to grab so and so if you get the chance." I never knew where Gale was and as I progressed my friends were a little disappointed I missed him. Thought I missed the opportunity entirely tbh. So my journey continues, snagging Shadowheart, Astarion, Wyll, Laezel, and Karlach in that order. I also have Halsin, Volo, Barcus, Withers, Scratch, and the owl bear cub in camp. I was just gearing up to go through the mountain pass (after the githyanki debacle) when I decided to go pick mushrooms for health potions. I go back to the Mind Flayer wreck for mergrass and see the unstable waypoint is still unstable. When I started the game I was too nervous to touch it bc I was pretty squishy and didn't trust it... I'm level 7 and significantly less squishy so I finally gave in. Imagine my surprise when an arm pops out. One strength check later Gale is standing in front of me. He joins up, eats two magic items, and levels up 6 times. Now I'm left wondering if I have absolutely ruined my chances of progressing his story line since I'm way later in game than I was supposed to be when I met him. How many more items is he going to eat? Can I stop this? Does he spontaneously combust or do I atleast get a count down to detonation? Im pretty sure Im still in act one but Ive completed (or progressed past) so many things that I'm scared would be prevalent. At this rate, idc if there's spoilers, I just want Magic Snack Man to stop eating loot. Edit: Thank you all for your comments! It really helped ease my fears about him inhaling all the magic items Kirby style. I would also like to add: Someone explained more about the acts and such to me, so I'm actually in the 1.5 area, not straight up act 1. The githyanki creche boosted me to level 7. I'm freshly leveled because I cleaned house on that. I also scurry around every nook and cranny of big games like this, partly thanks to curiosity and partly because of friends who have played before nudging me to explore certain things. I've gotten lucky with rolls for the most part as well. Games like Red Dead 2 taught me that anything can be anywhere. As for Barcus. I managed to convince him to hang out in camp after the Nere quest. Idk how I managed it besides telling him that he needs to rest and that going off on his own probably isn't the best idea. And yes, I absolutely avoided the portal in the beginning because the game even said it looks dangerous. As a tabletop player who played under a killer DM, I was not going to touch the swirling angry magic hole. I realize now that this video game isn't out to be vindictive and off me because it can, and save scumming has also helped immensely. This is my first play through, but it certainly won't be my last. The amount of content they put into this game astounds me, and I'm not sure if I'll ever find everything even after playing it through a dozen times. So, once again, thank you everyone. submitted by /u/GiantPinkEraser to r/BaldursGate3 [link] [comments]

AITA for kicking my brother and his family out after his son stole my engagement ring?
*** I am not OOP. Original post by u/missingring_ on r/AmItheAsshole *** Mood Spoiler: happy ending overall EDITOR’S NOTE: Some formatting for readability __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ORIGINAL POST: AITA for kicking my brother and his family out after his son stole my engagement ring? (April 10th, 2022) The reason I (26M) know is because I literally caught him in my room going through my things. And it’s on freakin camera. My nephew is 9 and has a habit of stealing things. They’ve gotten in trouble a few times at stores because he’d leave with something in his pockets. But ofc because he’s a kid they usually just say he forgot he had it. Even at school my brother has told me they have had to come talk to the principal aim a couple occasions. Doesn’t seem like they’ve done anything to stop it. They had to come stay here with me because my brother lost his job and they weren’t gonna make it with all their bills including rent. He’s doing Uber rn while he searches for a job and they can move out. I didn’t want to because of my nephew specifically but family is family I guess. A month ago I finally bought an engagement ring for my girlfriend that I was planning on proposing to soon but now I don’t know. It’s a $4k ring that I spent over a year saving up for. It’s been hidden in my room under one of my drawers. One time when I found him snooping in my room I told my brother to control his damm kid, then got one of those cheap spy cams in my room just incase. Then last week I noticed it was out of its box, after checking the cam it showed he was in there again when I wasn’t home. My brother and his wife have yelled at him. He says he left it by the tv in the guest room but it’s not there. They looked through all their stuff and his too. I know for a fact he’s lying about not having it because that’s the same thing he said about one of my watches he took then ended up finding it. By the second day my brother tells me they can’t find it at all. And I told him either they find the ring or he repays me the $4k I spent on it, if not they can’t stay here anymore. My brother got really upset, he told me I know how their situation is right now, and yeah it’s a tough spot but I couldn’t ignore the fact that his kid he can’t parent took something extremely important to me that costed a lot of time and money. They were given a week to leave my house if they don’t find the ring. They’re having to stay at a cheap motel but my brother won’t stop begging to come back because what they’re paying right now each night is coming directly out of their savings. He won’t stop calling me heartless about letting something like this come between helping them out through a difficult time and my nephew keeps saying he’s sorry. It’s just hard right now to want them around. Don’t even know what to do about the ring and every time I think about it it just makes me so mad that it’s hard to care about their situation. Does that make me an asshole? SOME RELEVANT COMMENTS Redditor: NTA—it’s a terrible situation but they should’ve taken measures sooner to get the kid to stop stealing. Also, I’m not sure a kid that young can do anything with a $4k ring. It’s not like he can go to a pawn shop & sell it. Do you have homeowners insurance? Perhaps you can make a claim? However that may cause more problems. Is it possible that your SIL or brother found & sold the ring themselves? OOP replied: He likes shiny stuff. He stole a kids bag of marbles from school just because he liked how shiny they were. Doesn’t necessarily steal things because he thinks he can make money off it Redditor: They’ve sold the ring, that’s why they can’t give it back. What a load of thieves. OOP replied: My watch he stole is worth way more than the ring and my brother already knew that because a year ago he was surprised I even owned one of those (have a wealthy buddy who gives out these kinds of gifts like they’re free candy). If that was even the plan they would’ve been smarter selling that instead so I highly doubt they even did this Redditor: Oh lord First off you bought your girlfriend a $4,000 ring. That was a lovely gesture. I certainly hope you have a lifetime of happiness ahead of you Secondly, there’s an old saying. If you live in a glass house don’t throw bricks. Your brother is relying on you financially. He should NOT have allowed his child to steal. OOP replied: And it’s one I know she was gonna love because she’s told me about it for years. I’m really anxious about it and hope it just turns up. Don’t care if it has to be forced out of them or by luck it pops up but I really want to present it to her when I ask her to marry me. That’s all I want and this sucks Redditor: NTA File a police report. And file a claim with your homeowners insurance. OOP replied: I don’t have home owners insurance. It’s not a house (EDITOR’S NOTE: OOP later added more in the comments that he is just a tenant and he is not allowed to make any changes to his apartment without his landlord permission. And his landlord as quoted as: "you’d be surprised of the stupid shit that he doesn’t allow and the things he lets slide") Redditor: File a police report and take them to small claims. You have the proof on camera. NTA Hopefully not, but there is a possibility he was encouraged to do it and it was pawned. OOP replied: Nobody knew I got a ring for my girlfriend, it’s been hidden in my room before they even came to live with me. That same Redditor: It just seems odd that the ring is now gone? I know kids lose things because they put them in odd places. Just knowing your family is financially in trouble, although I don't know them personally, it wouldn't be inconceivable that they might have sold it. OOP replied: It’s a possibility but I also know my nephew’s a liar and likely knows where it is but won’t say anything. This isn’t the first time something is stolen that he acts completely innocent about until it’s found somewhere he hid it Redditor: Nta, but dont you find it kinda strange that a few days after the kid 'lost' the ring, your brother has enough in savings to afford a hotel. You know there are people that use their kids and kids prams etc to shoplift. Could this be learned behaviour? Maybe the kid stole it for your brother to pawn. Call the cops and take them to court, its the only way your going to see any money back or maybe the rings if the cops find it in a pawn shop. OOP replied: My brother already told me they had savings before they moved in so not that they just magically had money. Rent here ain’t cheap so depending on how many months he would’ve been without a job it would’ve ran out fast anyways. Now since they don’t have anywhere to go unless they want to head down to a homeless shelter I think it’s more that they don’t really had a choice but to use that money I will be calling the cops though. Tired of playing nice Redditor: NTA - they sold the ring Another Redditor: I think so too! At this point, why won't his nephew say where it went? Another Redditor: The thing with kleptomaniac’s they often don’t know what to do with the things they steal he may have washed it down the sink flushed it down the toilet buried it i the garden etc just to hide it it’s not so much about having things it’s about taking them it’s highly unfortunate that he took something so important and his parents definitely need to get him help and should have done so already which could have prevented this OOP replied: Oh shit I never thought about this. All weekend I’ve been doing a deep cleaning trying to see if maybe he hid it somewhere. I’m freaking praying I find it soon. The watch he took from me was literally hidden inside one of his pair of shoes in the closet. Idk why he does this but there’s definitely been times he’s strategically hidden things he stole OOP was voted NTA UPDATE POST (April 19th, 2022 - 9 days later) My OG Post So many of you have asked nonstop for an update, sorry it took me a while to log back on but lots of stuff have been going on. Yes I found the ring!! It was a stressful day doing a deeper search in my house trying to think like my nephew and looking in places where I think he’d hide something if he really didn’t want it to be found. And the decision was if it really wasn’t found and my brother wasn’t able to get him to talk, or they wouldn’t be able to pay back what I’m owed then the police would get involved. He did beg me not to but I told him then you better pray I find it or you come up with the money to pay me for it. Guess both our prayers worked because guess where I found it? In the freaking sink. The SINK. And that’s thanks to the comments who told me to look in those places. Idk what I would’ve done otherwise. It was the sink that was in their guest room, I’m glad he didn’t just throw it away. You guys don’t know how freaking relieved I was to find it. Took some work to remove the p trap under the sink to get it out but I was just so happy to find it!! Same night my girlfriend (fiancée 😉) got back I proposed to her and she said yes!! After a nice romantic dinner just the two of us at home… The plan was to wait but after all this shit I thought fuck it I’m proposing ASAP before anything else happens 😅🤣 After my brother heard about me finding the ring he thought this meant they could come back. I said no. He wanted to argue about this again. All I told him was he’s lucky I haven’t gone to the cops since there was already video evidence of his son taking the ring and there’s no way I’m letting them back in when my nephew wouldn’t even say what he did with the ring. I talked with my nephew myself after I found the ring but he just said he didn’t want to tell anyone because then I’d be mad at him for hiding it. Honestly I just don’t have the energy for them anymore, his problem is their problem and hopefully they get him help before it’s too late. Only thing important to me is my fiancée and I starting our lives and planning our wedding 😁 Thank you Reddit for your help!! Seriously you guys were my life savers 😅 Edit to add: I just received this news after already submitting my post for approval and just wanted to add because I’m so happy, but girlfriend also informed me she’s pregnant!!! 😆😆 She found out while she was on her trip and was waiting for a good time to tell me. Not related to the post but idc, I’m gonna be a dad !!!! RELEVANT COMMENT Redditor: Congratulations OP!!!!!! I have one small suggestion. Get the ring looked at by the jeweler if you haven’t done so already. Don’t know what damage may have been caused by it being in the sink. Also maybe cleaned because once again don’t know what got on it while it was in the sink. Once again congratulations!!! OOP replied: Yeah that’s our plan. It looked completely fine when I got it out, only a couple smudges but still. Luckily since it was the one in the guest bathroom it wasn’t used since they were gone Redditor (downvoted comment) INFO: is anyone doing anything to help this troubled 9 year old? Or are a bunch of adults standing around talking about how they can't "control" him? What kind of attention does he get when he's not stealing? There's something more to this story. OOP replied: Well I for one can’t because well…I’m not his parent. My brother has heard what I’ve had to say about my nephew’s issues. It’s gonna have to be up to him and his wife to step up for him and get help. There’s not much else I can do anymore Redditor: I’m so glad you found it! Congratulations on your squishy! I hope your not inviting your brother and his family to the ceremony. At least not until they, mostly your nephew , makes sincere amends. Maybe have him do some community service or something. Make it unpleasant, long and sorta rough. OOP replied: We decided a long time ago that when we got married we’d want it to be something really small with a few friends or just elope then spend big on the honeymoon. So it’s possible he might not be invited but we’ll see. There’s some big expenses coming our way anyways and we also would like to go on a “babymoon” to celebrate 😊 EDITOR’S NOTE: It's been 2 years since the last time OOP update. I hope all the best to OOP and his family, and his nephew got the much needed help THIS IS A REPOST SUB – I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/garyking762 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I went through every mains sub to see what they think of the new Patch
Supports Ana - Hate that they need 4 shots instead of 3 to kill. Someone said they actually liked having to DPS more, and majority told them to go fuck themselves. They're not happy that flankers can run away instead of dying. Baptiste - Theirs like 3 of them, but they seem happy Brigitte - They think she's useless now. Some people pointed out that the sub thinks this every season and it's never true. They want a shield buff. I think they're more concerned about the Battle pass skins though Illari - They're pissed off, and rightfully so cause she 100% needs a buff, but as a Ashe/Tracer main, they can hold I'm afraid. Kiriko - They didn't choose the DPS lifestyle, the DPS lifestyle chose them. Lifeweaver - They're struggling. As expected with the healbotter character. I do think a buff to his heals is probably due otherwise he's just a cosmetic. A fine ass cosmetic, but a cosmetic Lucio - Oh these dudes are thriving fair enough Mercy - They're not happy. They feel they need to healbot more or that they're not really impacting the game as much. Most think Mercy is a useless throw pick and they'd be better off picking something else. If they could tell this to the ones I keep getting in my lobbies that would be great. Moira - The DPS Moira's are feasting. The healbotters are adapting. Honestly I feel Moira took the biggest hit the season but they're taking it pretty well Zenyatta: I'm not even going to go and check. I just know they're all laughing maniacally right now. Tanks D.va - I don't think they've even noticed there's been a patch Doomfist - They're feeling pretty good other than the bugs. They're still too busy shaking their fists at Orisa players Junker Queen - I think they're upset for the most part. The self healing has definitely taken a hit. Some are pretty happy though and the big ass Knoife hitbox is welcome Orisa - Oh this sub is dead dead Ramattra - Some people feel too squishy, some people enjoy the adaptation. Probably a bit underpowered but no doom and gloom Reinhardt - They haven't known happiness since the Obama administration and this patch is no different Roadhog - lol Sigma - 😭😭 every other tank subreddit is like "every time I peak a corner I get hit with the force of a thousand suns and die within seconds wtf" and the Sigma mains are like "Squishes are existing a bit too long for my liking 😒" Winston - They are feeling pretty good. Winston dives in and out so the passive isn't too much of a crutch. Raid Boss Zen is a bit of an issue though Wrecking Ball - They either think he's shit or fine. I think they all just want more damage Zarya - I... think they're okay ? The bubble cleanses the passive so they should be good I have a sneaking suspicion that all the "Tank is awful rn" might low-key just be Rein and Ram and Roadhog players lmao DPS Ashe - YEE HAW Do we really care what Bastion mains have to say? Cassidy - The place is dead but it's a hitscan character so they should be good Echo - They're having a blast. Genji - Reject Nanoblade, embrace Kitsune blade. Genji is feasting Hanzo - Hanzo mains are pissed which is so funny on so many different levels. Losing one shot changed the whole character for them Junkrat - They have reached levels of over previously thought unimaginable Mei - They're upset they can't one shot Tracers anymore. Evil mfers bro Pharah - WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Reaper - They're happy they can blow up tanks again Sojourn - Her and Baptiste have the smallest community. I wonder what the connection is... S76 - Yeah these guys are eating good Sombra = They're lementing that they're less of an assassin and more of a distraction, don't notice the 20% passive as much as they usually go for targets not getting healed. Overall either neutral or don't really like the change Symmetra - They want a buff and they want it right the fuck now Torbjorn - They want a Hammer buff but other than that they're good Tracer - We aight. We have to play like massive pussies now but she's pretty good atm Widowmaker - Idk someone posted a video of them trying to hit a 360 and falling off the map and I've been laughing for five minutes submitted by /u/Ts_Patriarca to r/Overwatch [link] [comments]

The Nature of Predators 58
First | Prev | Next --- Memory transcription subject: Slanek, Venlil Space Corps Date [standardized human time]: October 18, 2136 The tension was palpable, as the Arxur occupants studied Marcel in silence. I gathered that the human didn’t want to engage with them either. The predatory savagery from the cradle plagued my recollection, and the chilling screams of the unfortunate Gojids echoed on loop. It would be all too easy for the grays to gut either of us, with the swipe of their fangs. Chief Hunter Isif dropped into the seat right next to us; the monster was inches away from me. It disregarded the shift in Marcel’s body language. The human had leaned away, though there wasn’t anywhere to go in a helicopter cabin. I got the impression his concern was for me, rather than himself. After the attack on Earth, it’s like he doesn’t care what happens to him. If I wasn’t about to be carved up, I’d insist he seek help. Isif bared its teeth ferociously. “Well, I’ve introduced myself. What’s your name, Venlil?” Its voice was a discordant snarl, amplifying humanity’s typical rumble by a thousandfold. A pathetic squeak escaped my throat, and I sobbed into Marcel’s shirt. The vegetarian stroked my ear with patience, unfazed by the salty wetness soaking the fabric. I didn’t know how even a persistence predator could be so calm in the face of such an eyesore. That scaly demon was sensory hell. I’d rather be hunted by Marcel’s kind for hours, than look at Isif for another second. “Okay. That was the response I expected,” the Arxur sighed. “What are you called, human?” My human stiffened. “Marcel Fraser, but just Marcel is fine. The Venlil here, his name is Slanek.” “I knew you hadn’t lost your voice, Marcel. Slanek is here on Tarva’s behalf, yes?” My ears perked up in alarm. How did Isif even know that name?! That must mean the Arxur were targeting the governor, or had other nefarious plans for her. I refused to believe the humans would betray us by turning over intel on the Republic. Marcel offered a curt head shake. “Slanek is a fighter pilot. We’re training him to be a proper soldier.” “Ha! Good one…as if this specimen could fight.” Isif’s eyes glittered with decadent mirth, before the expression dissolved. “Oh Prophet. You’re serious, aren’t you?” The red-haired human glared at the floor, not answering the reptile. It was clear my friend had little interest in the conversation; I think he only entertained the first question to get the commander to leave me alone. The monstrous predator gave up, and turned its focus to the window. Our helicopter drifted above a sea of rubble, which stretched to the horizon. Building husks lingered as statues to a fallen world, and fires were splashed across the landscape. The ground was covered in a thick coating of soot; this looked like the aftermath of an Arxur raid. My heart sank in my chest, as I realized how dire the outlook was for Marcel’s family. The human pilot guided our craft toward the designated neighborhood. Chief Hunter Isif craned its neck, and narrowed its disgusting eyes with solemnness. I didn’t understand what game it was playing, trying to make nice with the humans. It must have some dastardly plan at work. The Arxur commander maintained the brooding expression, as we touched down. It ordered the other grays to sweep the area for survivors, and accrue intel for their government. Marcel rose to his feet to follow them, but Isif blocked the human’s path. The scaly monster gestured to the devastation behind it. “What do you think of what the Federation did, Slanek?” the Chief Hunter growled. My ears laid flat against my skull. “I t-think… it looks a lot like what you do.” A sharp glint flashed in its eyes. “Ah, that’s a good answer. You think our species is an instrument of evil, yet you admit your friends are no different.” “The F-federation are…monsters. Not friends. But they don’t eat people.” “Because they don’t have to. You all want my kind wiped from existence. Hell, you probably wish I’d drop dead right now. Do you even see us as people?” “After everything you’ve done, you’ll never be people, to anyone!” My sudden outburst took me by surprise. Marcel‘s fingers tensed around my scruff, and his stance shifted to a defensive posture. That commentary placed my human in a precarious situation. My money wasn’t on the wounded, squishy primate if this turned physical. I should’ve never boarded this aircraft to begin with. The Arxur raised the ridges above its eyes, and turned around with a sigh. Isif somehow restrained its aggression; the pointed huff emanated disappointment. It drew its sidearm, before shuffling into the ruins of New York. Marcel followed with a bit of hesitancy. “I’m sorry for what Slanek said, Chief Hunter. Any sapient is a person, no matter what they’ve done.” “Is that so, human?” the reptile grumbled. “Look, our race has become a shell of itself over the centuries. I wish it wasn’t like this.” My eyes widened in surprise. Polite concessions, lamenting their current status, wasn’t what I expected it to say. For an emotionless predator, it was doing an excellent job at emulating regret. The fear eased enough for me to wonder what it had to gain from this act. The Arxur never attempted to converse with prey, as a rule. “Why are you so cruel and merciless?” The words spewed from my mouth in a rambling fervor. “Why did you kill my brother, and bomb my planet, and eat people alive while they were running…” Its nostrils flared. “Ah yes, it’s well-documented that I did all those things personally. I’m a busy guy, I get around.” “Your species! D-don’t mock me, demon. There’s no good reason your breed are that cruel and morally deficient.” “The Federation are the reason we’re starving. Cruelty was and is a defense mechanism, in my view. I’m not excusing it; I’m answering your insults.” “Defense mechanism. How so?!” “It was needed as a way to cope with what we had to do to survive. We’re also fighting a war of extinction, while vastly outnumbered, so it serves psychological purposes to…encourage recorded sadism. The Federation loses because they’re afraid.” The Arxur crested a mountain of rubble, and Marcel escorted us atop the debris too. One human was crawling through the street, with serious burns across her extremities. Her breathing came in ragged gasps, and the sight of peeling flesh made me wince. Two Zurulian medics had arrived on the scene already; the Americans must’ve directed them to a separate landing site from the grays. A young volunteer rushed to the burn victim’s side, repeating soothing words. The other quadruped kept a wide berth from the aggrieved human, and trembled in terror. “Wilen, I need a dose of painkillers and antiseptics now,” the youthful Zurulian chimed in. Wilen flicked his ears in skepticism. “We know nothing about these predators, other than that the Arxur like them. Our government has gone mad, Fraysa. I can’t get close to this thing!” Isif’s scowl intensified. The hunter gripped its sidearm with malicious intent. Rich hunger danced in its gaze, and it shared an enraged glance with Marcel. For once, I agreed with the monster; we couldn’t let the medics dilly dally with an agonized human. Fraysa rounded on her partner. “What we know, is the humans haven’t done anything wrong. They sought peace, and were brutally attacked for it. Also, the Venlil and our ambassador adore them.” “But they’re predators! I’m here for the Venl—” “No! We don’t play god, and pick and choose who we help. We save lives indiscriminately. Get with that, or get the fuck out of my sight.” The injured human watched with glassy eyes. Wilen lowered his head, before crouching at Fraysa’s side. He began applying wet dressings and antiseptics, while his partner tended to the pain. The Zurulians then prepped a transport to their hospital ship. Isif lowered its gun, and watched as the quadrupeds strained to lift the human. The Arxur marched down to the site, swishing its tail in a display of dominance. The Zurulians dropped the patient, when they saw the gray skulking toward them. I was worried the abomination had regained its appetite too. Maybe it likes charred flesh, like Tyler did. It could see the Terran burn victim as the perfect meal…oh stars. The Chief Hunter lifted the primate onto the gurney, and fastened the straps in seconds. It backed away, and growled to get the medics’ attention. Fraysa was wielding a syringe in her mouth, pointing it as if a shot of painkillers would stop the murderous demon. “Stay back!” The female Zurulian quivered, and seemed aghast at the sight of my human behind the gray. “Human…and Venlil, please! Help us! It’s kidnapping my patient.” “I’m not kidnapping the human. I put her on the stretcher so you can move her for evac,” Isif growled. “If I was hostile, trust me, you would know. I’m subtle as a sledgehammer.” Marcel trundled up beside the Arxur. “The last Federation physician I met wanted me dissected. Our doctors pledge to do no harm. It’s a relief to see someone mirror the sentiment of the Hippocratic Oath.” Wilen squinted at the vegetarian. “You’re…that human named Marcel, from Noah’s video. I recognize you.” “Shit,” Fraysa squeaked. “I’m sorry for what they did to you. Your treatment w-went against every, um, ethical principle…that we stand for.” The Chief Hunter inspected the red-haired human with confused eyes. The demonic predator mouthed the name ‘Noah’ to itself, and noted something on its holopad. I think it wanted to ask what happened to my friend. Obviously, a feral animal that loathed weakness would mock his traumatic experience. Marcel pointed a hand to the stretcher; the Zurulians sidled up to the patient hesitantly. Isif slunk beside them, moving the brunt of the weight. The medics shuffled in a terrified stupor, and our oddball group traversed the ruins. It was sad to see Earth like this, having witnessed this city in its sprawling glory days ago. It took several minutes to reach the Zurulian hospital ship, which was hovering over a decimated roadway. We glimpsed rows of beds in its loading bay, and my human’s eyes widened with hope. Panicked shouts echoed from the ship’s occupants at the reptile sighting. The Chief Hunter ducked its head, perhaps to seem less threatening. The Arxur pulled away, and more Zurulian medics hurried over to lug the patient onboard. Fraysa and Wilen bore delirious eyes, which suggested the fear was overstimulating them. That little excursion must have been psychological torment to them. “Have you rescued a Gojid child…hopefully with a human female?” my human growled. Wilen blinked. “What?” “A Gojid! You know, spiky, brown-furred, big claws. WHERE IS SHE?!” The Zurulians cowered at Marcel’s roar, and their hackle fur stood on end. I swatted my tail at his chin, warning him to calm down. His desperation was something I recognized, but these medics didn’t understand humans yet. They probably thought he was about to go on a rampage. “Marc is very upset…and loud, but he’s harmless,” I hissed. “Please, just tell us if you’ve seen a Gojid.” Fraysa drew a shaky breath. “No. Only humans here.” “I can check with our groups in the other cities,” Wilen added hurriedly. “Maybe Berlin, Toronto, Bangkok, or Manila? B-big predator dwellings there.” Marcel slumped his shoulders in defeat. “No. They were here.” “They? Oh…I see.” Understanding flashed in Isif’s pupils. “Why don’t we search for your packmates at their last location? These Zurulians could help us look around.” The human nodded, blinking away tears. The Arxur focused on his watery eyes, and gave him a rough tail slap on the arm. If I didn’t know better, I would think it was a poor attempt at comfort. A species devoid of empathy was mimicking the trait, of course. Isif was clearly awkward and unpracticed at that falsified aspect. Fraysa’s gaze softened, and she shared a glance with her partner. “We’ll help you search.” “But I’d prepare for the likeliest possibility. As a predator, you should be logical about the situation,” Wilen said. “Wilen, he clearly grasps the extent of the dead! There’s nothing logical about this. Where are we going, Marcel?” The red-haired primate browsed his holopad, and searched for a location via GPS. The local terrain was unrecognizable, so I doubted he could distinguish Nulia’s bunker from any other scrap heap. The device pinpointed a location a quarter-mile from the hospital ship. All I could see there was a thick hill of concrete. Anything living must be crushed beneath that. It’s likely the bunker collapsed from the pressure. Marcel could barely put pressure on his injured leg, but he staggered ahead for the minutes-long trek. I could feel the human’s grief expanding with every step; my predator was cracking right alongside the buildings of New York. It hurt to see my friend, who I believed could withstand any emotion, crumbling. His distress frightened me as much as the hideous Arxur flanking us. Marcel reached the selected debris mound, and I dismounted onto my own paws. This must be the fallout shelter his family relocated to. The human hurled himself on all fours, flinging the smallest rocks behind him in a frenzy. An animalistic grunt reverberated from his chest, as he strained against his arm injury to tug a massive rock chunk. Chief Hunter Isif pressed its shoulder against the debris, and moved it enough to leave a tiny gap. Marcel pawed at the scraps below, trying to catch a glimpse of the shelter. He dug furiously with his flimsy fingers. Blood streamed from his dust-caked nails, but that only quickened his scrabbling. “LUCY! NULIA!” he wailed, in the highest-pitched voice I’d heard him use. There was no reply from beneath the ruins. Through choking sobs, my friend returned to parsing rocks with his hands. His fingers were drenched in crimson fluid. Sympathy clasped my heart with a vice-like grip, and I tackled him in a desperate hug. “Marc, stop it. You’re hurting yourself,” I pleaded. Fraysa placed a cautious paw on his neck. “That’s enough. We’ll excavate the bodies, and make sure they get a proper burial by your customs. I promise.” The human collapsed atop the wreckage, and pressed an eye against the opening. He screamed incoherently, punching the rubble in outrage. I watched the life leave his sweet countenance; even the gushing tears dried up. My friend was unresponsive to any prodding. Wilen dabbed at his eyes, affected by the extent of the predator’s raw emotions. I recognized that realization, as he decided humans were sapient. Anyone who saw this display as a performance had to be heartless. There must be countless others across Earth in such a state. I nuzzled his leg. “Step aside and rest, please. Let the doctors disinfect your wounds.” “Why?!” my human croaked. “They’ve taken everything. Oh Slanek, put me out of my mis—” “Mawsle!!” a childish voice cried, faintly audible. “Where have you been? It’s really dark down here, and I don’t like the dark.” Marcel’s head snapped up. “You’re…alive? I’m coming, darling. Just hold on! We’re working as fast as we can.” “But I want to go somewhere safe now! Somewhere monsters won’t find me or pick on your eyes. Don’t leave me here, Mawzy!” “Never. I’m right here.” A chorus of human growls joined Nulia, as they realized rescuers were above. Relief coursed through my veins; against all odds, some of the bunker withstood the blast. Chief Hunter Isif radioed to send heavy machinery to our coordinates, and withdrew with a fierce snarl. Untrustworthy as it was, I couldn’t deny it’d been helpful so far. Amidst the chaos and devastation on Earth, it was a relief to save a few human lives from the ashes. --- First | Prev | Next Early chapter access on Patreon | Species glossary on Series wiki submitted by /u/SpacePaladin15 to r/HFY [link] [comments]

Why is no one talking about JohnnyBoi's Squishy vs Fairy 1v1 analysis video being taken down?
I was halfway through watching when it suddenly got pulled from YouTube. Nothing on anyone's relevant twitter etc about this. Can't imagine Johnny would be too impressed? submitted by /u/ktmfinx to r/RocketLeagueEsports [link] [comments]
