2024.05.16 01:21 netmc DattoRMM - PSA - Certain custom device filters are not working and will affect policies!
With the recent issues on the Zinfandel platform, I was digging into our servers and discovered that all of them were missing Patch Management policies as well as Windows Update policies. Waiting overnight did not cause these device to get their assigned policies.
I thought that this was related to the server offline alerts that occurred the last couple days, but it was a different issue entirely. If you have any custom device filters which utilize Service Name or Service Display Name as part of the custom device filter criteria, these are failing to load with 504 errors inside the legacy UI. Since the legacy UI platform is still what drives policy assignments, this means that these policy target will return no devices and the policies will not apply where they should. There is a tentative fix scheduled for the 13.2 release, but since we are still on 13.0 currently, this possible fix is well over a month away. That's over a month for Microsoft to use its discretion on what patch will install when and not what you have configured in your environment!
We use the service filter criterion to separate Hyper-V servers from other servers so they will patch and update at different times. There is no filter criterion alternative to this functionality for dynamically mapping policies to their appropriate server devices.
As a temporary workaround, I viewed the filter results in the new UI then added these devices to a device group(s), then added this device group as a target to the appropriate Patch Policy and Windows Update Policy. Another alternative (if you happen to split hyper-V to its own policy like we do), is to utilize the Server Role component and save this to a UDF and then assign the policy based on the UDF containing "HyperV" or not. This is probably the better option than using device groups.
I've messaged our account rep to get a fix for this escalated and in as a hotfix ASAP as we shouldn't have to wait for over a month to have a resolution for something as critical as this. I honestly don't know how long this has been broken, but waiting for a scheduled release for this is far too long. I recommend everyone reach out to their account reps on this as only then with Datto escalate this to the urgency it requires.

Trigger warning: mention of domestic violence situation
I’m married to a woman who acts like a teenage girl – February 6th, 2024
My wife behaves like a teenage girl and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This is just a rant. Curious to know how many full grown adults behave the way my wife does. I’d say out of all of the adult women I know, like friends, relatives, wives of my friends, none of them behave this way unless they keep it a closely guarded secret.
Editing right here to add that my wife is in her 30s, for context.
My wife is always obsessed with somebody, a man or sometimes multiple men at one time. Usually there is one or two main focuses at a time. When I talk obsessed I mean obsessed like a teenage girl or maybe even preteen girl would be. I’ve seen pictures of her bedroom when she was that age and they were literally wallpapers in posters of her favorite guys. That’s totally normal for a 13 year old girl. She still behaves that way as a woman in her 30s. Granted, our bedroom walls aren’t wallpapered in posters but they probably would be if I allowed it.
Her obsessions have ranged from rock stars, actors, non-entertainment industry public figures. It’s like one day she hasn’t even heard of the guy in question and the next day she’s super fan #1 and knows just about everything there is to know about him. She will read and watch everything there is to watch about the man. She will bring him up in every conversation. She will adopt parts of him into her own personality. She will suggest things that make it clear to me that she wants me to adopt characteristics of these men as part of my appearance or personality. She will openly admit to me that she’s masturbated over the guy multiple times in one day.
When she finds a new man to obsess over, she puts the others in her little stable of men who she always has a place for in her heart and in her fantasies, so they never really go away. The new man just takes center stage and becomes the main focus of almost her entire life.
So the current obsession is so strange to me. Never saw this one coming, but leave it to her to always find somebody new to fall in love with. The intensity that she has during these periods - it’s honestly like she falls in love with these men.
I’m laughing so hard just typing this all. Her current obsession is Bret Hart, former pro wrestler. This woman had never watched wrestling before in her life. Always thought that stuff was below her. And now she’s obsessed with this former pro-wrestler. She watched one show about him, for reasons I’m not aware of, and I could tell almost instantly where it was headed. I thought “here we go…” So now the Bret Hart obsession is in full swing. Has she already dropped close to $1000 in vintage Bret Hart shirts on eBay? Of course. Bought all the stickers and magnets and all sorts of other stupid crap she can find? Yep. Does she send me Bret Hart YouTube clips all.day.long when she’s supposed to be working? Yes she does.
So, I better get to work brushing up on my Bret Hart knowledge and tag lines. This is the key to getting laid when it comes to her. I’m used to this by now. It’s just not something that I can easily explain to anyone I know.
I mean, there’s are things I’m a fan of, but she is next level. I can’t think of anyone I know who is her age and acts like this. She was voted most likely to grow up and become a groupie when she was in high school, so this is absolutely nothing new for her. Sigh.
Many are lighthearted in the comments

Limerence is mentioned
poopchutethemoon
Yeah my bouts of limerence have been with people I’ve dated but reading that made me realize that I was very much being obsessive and it was totally all consuming. Glad it’s over honestly. Those feelings are exhausting.
Very interesting to hear you say the feelings are exhausting. It’s like a full time job for my wife, so I could see that. She told me she’s at work with her door closed pretending to be working, but she’s really watching Bret Hart videos on YouTube. She can’t even focus on her job.

You've pretended to act like other men for 20 years?!
Damn dude, I hope you're finding ways to accept it and cope. That sounds rough, having to be someone else to have sex... stay strong king
Nah, I just learn their catchphrases or gain some deep fan knowledge that’ll impress her or maybe perfect a vocal impersonation of them that I can drop at the opportune time. The vocal impersonations work the best as far as making her like me and being like “ok, wanna have sex now?”
another_canoe
But what do you guys actually share *together*? That's not related to the obsession of the season? (I'm not going to even bother asking if she's tried to learn about any of your hobbies/interests).
NGL, this is all pretty grim to me, my man....and I'm someone who loves having a partner who is passionate about things and nerds out.
I fear that you've spent so long with her infatuations steamrolling over your own interests and preferences that you have convinced yourself that getting attention-by-proxy as your main source of validation from your SPOUSE is a healthy way to live.
If I told you that I was big into anime and Japanese RPGs and the only way I get interested in doing it with my actual wife is if she adopts the catch phrases /personality characteristics of my latest "waifu", would you feel some concern for my wife's mental health?
I'm also wondering about this spending....
She’s pretty dismissive of my interests and hobbies. I’ve told her I’d like her to try to pretend to show a little more interest sometimes. I make an effort to show real interest in her stuff and she does not do the same. I’m very into music and I do geek out over guitars and gear and things like that and she couldn’t tell you anything about any of the guitars I own other than “he has a blue one, he has a red one. “ We do love some of the same bands. Of course she wants to fuck the band members and I just want to talk about the chord progression on my favorite guitar tracks, but it’s close enough. We like a lot of the same movies and that sort of thing. We have the same sense of humor and can keep each other laughing for ages. We have a lot of the same views on life and on the world in general.
I don’t know, we just get each other I guess.
I would be concerned about the waifu thing, but I guess in my case she always likes guys who I think are pretty cool anyway. She has good taste, at least. If she has to be obsessing over some other guy constantly at least she does it over guys I can respect on some level.
Regarding the spending, I spend way more than she does. Only difference is it’s not usually fan merch I’m buying. But she tolerate my spending when it comes to stuff like guitar gear. She rolls her eyes and reprimands me but she tolerates it and just knows I won’t stop. I’m the same when it comes to her fan stuff. I get it, she wants the vintage 1993 Bret Hart shirt that costs hundreds…not a modern shirt that just anyone could go online and buy for $25 right now. She wants the cool, rare stuff. I’m the same with my guitars so I guess it’s like we understand each other in some way. I think it’s weird to become a fan of somebody and 2 days later drop thousands on them though. At least my money pit is consistent.
I think we both feel like we’re the only person who will semi understand and tolerate all of this stuff from each other
Not included here, but in several comments, OOP definitely brings up his wife’s looks as a positive in the relationship and he finds her antics at times amusing or even attractive.
1st Update - February 28th, 2024
I recently wrote about my wife suddenly discovering former pro-wrestler Bret “The Hitman” Hart one day after never even knowing of his existence, experienced love at first site, and is now even deeper than love with him then she was a month ago.
Tonight, I experienced a good hour of her sobbing, literal sobs, after watching the Bret Hart A&E biography. “I just love him so much. I love him with all my heart. I don’t want any more bad things to happen to him. Also, I’m very jealous he’s not my husband.”
She also went from not wanting any kids to suddenly wanting a baby so she can name it Bret (a girl or a boy, doesn’t matter…they will be named Bret). And she almost had me convinced, but I blame that on the heat of the moment.
She’s bought all sorts of clothes just like his. My wife now dresses like Bret Hart in and outside of the ring.
The past few days she’s been acting really annoyed with me. Finally I’m like “Wtf am I doing wrong?” I bought you Bret Hart stuff for your birthday! I call you Mrs. Bret Hart now, even though you’re my wife. I even sent you flowers at work from Bret. I mean that was supposed to get me points because she knew they were from me and I was playing into her obsession which she’s now apparently shared with everyone she works with. They’ve bought her a giant Bret Hart wall decal for her office.
Ok, so I did forget our anniversary which was very recently. Totally forgot it. Then again, so did she. She was too busy masturbating over Bret Hart to remember our wedding anniversary. I mean bad husband points for me obviously but all the birthday gifts had to have made up for it. I mean, I even ordered a Bret Hart birthday banner and got her a Bret Hart themed birthday cake as if she were a 7 year old boy in the year 1994.
So why is she acting so annoyed lately? Why does she act like she hates me and can’t stand to even be in the same room as me? She finally admits…I’m not Bret Hart. None of her obsession have ever been this bad. She’s seriously threatening me with divorce now because I’m not Bret Hart! She “just wants a guy like that.” She had to go walk the dog today and cry over it, how much she hates me and wishes she was married to Bret Hart. Oh fuck me you want a guy like your dad because that’s what Bret Hart is like…exactly like her dad, the same look, the same hair, the same damn age.
I told her I think she should get checked out for autism or some other sort of disorder. Her obsessions have never been this bad. She should make an appointment now because the waitlist is long. She just laughed. There’s nothing wrong with her. She just has different taste in men now, according to her.
Some comments
psychick
Therapist here - she needs to see a psychiatrist. This is mental illness to the extreme. Either she goes, or you leave. This is ultimatum territory. And, stop giving into her obsession. It makes it worse.
nualt42
Man, when she threatens divorce, take it. Jump at the chance.
Hell, sit, be a good boy and offer your fucking paw if that’s what it takes to get treated to an exit strategy. Don’t worry about dignity, sounds like you gave that up a long time ago.
She’s even looked up the divorce process for where we live and says we can be amicable about everything. She assures me she’s not looking to take any thing that is rightfully mine. She just wants a clean break.

NEW UPDATE - March 8th, 2024
Hi, you might remember me as the guy whose wife was obsessed with JFK (35th President of the United States), then experienced a world wind romance with former WWF pro-wrestler Bret Hart (the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be), but now she’s met a new man. I thought the Bret Hart obsession was the worst one yet. Never has she threatened divorce or told me she hated me because I wasn’t the object of her desire. Luckily, that was a relatively quick love affair for her. 3-4 months is a short run for her and one of her men. But I should be careful what I wish for.
This new one is the first time I’ve felt that I should maybe, just possibly, feel legitimately scared. Her newly developing obsession is Patrick Bateman. Yep, the character from American Psycho. Specifically, the movie version played by Christian Bale.
It’s not like she’s just met the guy. She’s seen the movie before but it doesn’t appear that they hit it off initially. Now, she’s suddenly started making constant reference to him. Bret is gone and now it’s just Patrick Bateman and maniacal laughter and purchasing all of the items in his skin care routine. I’d like to see her do 1000 crunches though. That’ll be the day.
She has always admitted to living the 80s preppy/yuppie look. She loves assholes. Assholes are a weakness for her. Psychopaths? Hmm…that’s a new one, unless you count the time she was in love with the Menendez Brothers years ago. God, the pastel Ralph Lauren sweaters she used to try to make me wear. Pastels are just not my shades.
Now, there was a time many years ago where I did have to hide all the knives in our home. I was legitimately scared that she was going to murder me. I forget what she was upset about now. I am, after all, her type - an asshole. I did something that bothered her and she ran for the knives. I had to hide them and then lock myself in a bedroom because she was literally chasing me. That was before she decided that she’d be the female Patrick Bateman. Granted, she says “only mean in the looks and snob department-nothing else.”
She’s trying to determine what the female equivalent to a Patrick Bateman hairstyle would be right now. I’m just worried about the bank account with this obsession. The amount she’ll spend on business cards alone.

Your wife is severely mentally ill, and needs help quickly.
Is there no chance of persuading her to get help?
If not, what preparations have you made to leave her?
I’m a strange way, I think these obsessions are what keep her sane.
Her getting help is funny though. It’s not going to happen. Sure I’ve tried to persuade her to see a therapist but she just won’t.
ctIaTErA
I probably shouldn’t be laughing as hard as I am right now. This is truly bizarre. Does she narrate her morning routine in the mirror each day now?
But in all seriousness, she’s chased you with a knife? Thats far more concerning than any of the obsessions with these men, and yes I did read the post about the wrestler. I thought it was just very quirky behavior before, but she seems truly unhinged now.
It was years ago. Like 10+ years ago. I’m much stronger than her so it’s not hard to hold her down if need be.

Hi, you might remember me as the guy whose wife was obsessed with JFK (35th President of the United States), then experienced a world wind romance with former WWF pro-wrestler Bret Hart (the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be), but now she’s met a new man. I thought the Bret Hart obsession was the worst one yet. Never has she threatened divorce or told me she hated me because I wasn’t the object of her desire. Luckily, that was a relatively quick love affair for her. 3-4 months is a short run for her and one of her men. But I should be careful what I wish for.
This new one is the first time I’ve felt that I should maybe, just possibly, feel legitimately scared. Her newly developing obsession is Patrick Bateman. Yep, the character from American Psycho. Specifically, the movie version played by Christian Bale.
It’s not like she’s just met the guy. She’s seen the movie before but it doesn’t appear that they hit it off initially. Now, she’s suddenly started making constant reference to him. Bret is gone and now it’s just Patrick Bateman and maniacal laughter and purchasing all of the items in his skin care routine. I’d like to see her do 1000 crunches though. That’ll be the day.
She has always admitted to living the 80s preppy/yuppie look. She loves assholes. Assholes are a weakness for her. Psychopaths? Hmm…that’s a new one, unless you count the time she was in love with the Menendez Brothers years ago. God, the pastel Ralph Lauren sweaters she used to try to make me wear. Pastels are just not my shades.
Now, there was a time many years ago where I did have to hide all the knives in our home. I was legitimately scared that she was going to murder me. I forget what she was upset about now. I am, after all, her type - an asshole. I did something that bothered her and she ran for the knives. I had to hide them and then lock myself in a bedroom because she was literally chasing me. That was before she decided that she’d be the female Patrick Bateman. Granted, she says “only mean in the looks and snob department-nothing else.”
She’s trying to determine what the female equivalent to a Patrick Bateman hairstyle would be right now. I’m just worried about the bank account with this obsession. The amount she’ll spend on business cards alone.

Your wife is severely mentally ill, and needs help quickly.
Is there no chance of persuading her to get help?
If not, what preparations have you made to leave her?
I’m a strange way, I think these obsessions are what keep her sane.
Her getting help is funny though. It’s not going to happen. Sure I’ve tried to persuade her to see a therapist but she just won’t.

I probably shouldn’t be laughing as hard as I am right now. This is truly bizarre. Does she narrate her morning routine in the mirror each day now?
But in all seriousness, she’s chased you with a knife? Thats far more concerning than any of the obsessions with these men, and yes I did read the post about the wrestler. I thought it was just very quirky behavior before, but she seems truly unhinged now.
It was years ago. Like 10+ years ago. I’m much stronger than her so it’s not hard to hold her down if need be.

2024.05.16 01:13 apartmentpremium [HL2 Mod] How to change the font of the main title?
Hello, I am new to this community.
Currently, I am creating my mod of Half-Life 2. And I am trying to change the font of the title.
I searched a little bit and found that I should change the font name of "ClientTitleFont" in "Steam/steamapps/sourcemods//resource/clientscheme.res".
However, even though I have changed them, the font does not seem to work, and still the title glitches. I tried multiple times removing my mod and re-copying it at "sourcemods", but still, the font does not seem to apply.
Would there be any other solutions to try to fix this?

Bio-Timeline
3 BC - The heir to the Crag, Symond Westerling, weds Penelope Lannister in a grand ceremony at the sept in Lannisport. At the wedding ceremony, his younger brother Gormond very briefly met his future wife, the young lady Teora Reyne.2 BC - The first child of their marraige, Jeyne Westerling, was born at the Crag. What should have been a good omen, however, spelled disaster. Not one moon after her birth did the Conqueror launch his glorious conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. Called up by his liege to do his duty and defend the realm from this pretender, Lord Walderan, his sons, and all their knights and levies rode to war. With their strength combined with that of the Reach, they had expected an easy victory. But never before had they seen dragons on the field.
Lord Westerling, as commander of the West's vanguard, was among of the battle's first casualties when a stray crossbow bolt felled his horse and caused the aging Walderan to break his neck underneath it. Had he only known the mercy he was spared. Symond, now Lord, did not halt the assault. Out of duty and mad vengeance, he led the Western forces further, even in the face of the three dragons that had, by now, taken flight. From his sick bed, Lord Symond often swore that he had been able to cut down four of Aegon's pikemen before the dragons came down upon them. Before the field erupted into flame and everything went dark.
1 BC - It was not for many moons after King Loren had already knelt to the Conqueror until Lord Symond woke again. Gormond had managed to rescue his older brother from the fire and organize as many of the Crag's men as he could for a desperate retreat through the rings of fire. He had saved hundreds of men that day, all men agreed. But whether he had truly saved his brother was in question. His face and body ruined by the grievous extent of his burns, a series of amputations were necessary to save Lord Westerling's life, but he was never quite the same man he had been prior.
0 AC - With the Conquest completed and Aegon upon his Iron Throne, life returned to some semblance of normalcy for many. But Symond's scars from that brief, glorious war would remain with him for the rest of his life. Kept on a near-constant supply of milk-of-the-poppy and dreamwine, he was in no condition to actually fulfill his duties as a lord. Lady Penelope and Ser Gormond decided to share the duties between themselves.
1 AC - On one of his better days, Lord Symond, who had been unable to leave his solar for the past two years, finally managed to hobble to court, to the horror of his people. A man scarred and ruined, he nevertheless was determined to hear a few pleas of his people. Cautiously optimistic, Lord Westerling's mood soured when his daughter, whom he had previously hoped to hide the extent of his deformities, screamed and ran out of the room when she saw, "A monster on my father's throne!" Court soon adjourned, and Lord Symond, for the first time in years, went to bed with his wife.
2 AC - A small miracle of sorts touched the house with Penelope's birth of the twin boys Lyle and Jon. This brought some joy back to the house and to Symond, but his condition would only deteriorate as the years went on. Continually tended to by Lady Penelope, his lordship would remain largely sedated and absent from the lives of his children as they grew.
5 AC - Ser Gormond Westerling meets Lady Teora Reyne at a small tourney held at Feastfires asking for her favor before a joust and talking to her at greater length at the feast later that night, soon starting their courtship. They would wed some moons later, eventually having two children of their own, Stafford and Eleyna.
7 AC - With the Stranger knocking at his door, Lord Westerling called his family to his solar one final time. The family that he had tried his very best to shield from him by self-imposed isolation and the repeated reading of old histories and holy books. He wore a mask of fused seashells as he told his children of his pride in them, but before he died, he insisted that his heir take one final parting gift from him. At that, Lord Symond removed his seashell mask, gave it to his five-year-old heir and said, "Boy. Look at me. This is what those silver-haired freaks and their demon abominations have wrought. Guard yourself... lest they do it to you."
8-20 AC - Lord Symond was dead, but his parting words had left an impact on his children. As Lyle buried himself in books and lessons from Maester Morgon, Jon practiced with mount and blade with Uncle Gormond, while Lady Penelope trained her daughter in courtly etiquette and saw to it that House Westerling maintained its close connections with the Lannisters, of the Rock and Lannisport both. In that time, the Westerlings soon found themselves inducted into the court of the Rock, the boys in particular became close friends to the young heir to the Rock, Lancel Lannister, and soon became regular visitors to the Rock and makers of mayhem in Lannisport.
Jeyne, meanwhile, happened across the widowed Lord Baelor Belaerys of Aegon's Rest himself at some tourney, feast or other, and soon found herself enamored of the dragonlord. Despite Jeyne's fears that her mother or uncle would forbid the match due to his status as a prominent valyrian dragonlord, they, to her great surprose, acquiesced. And so she married the Lord of Aegon's Rest in 16 AC and bore him his new heir two years later.
21-25 AC - As the Westerling twins "matured" with their good friend Lancel, who eventually became Lord Lancel, they each found themselves prominent places at court, Lyle as the Rock's Lord Treasurer and Jon as Lancel's Captain of the Guard. To this day, House Westerling are considered the Lord of the Rock's most tireless supporters, with the twins counting among his most loyal men.

2024.05.16 01:05 ecass305 (Theory) Pernida's connection to N and K
https://preview.redd.it/yexy2c42mh0d1.png?width=350&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec77db330b221528a33ce1719616ddb0a8274c96
I have a theory that Pernida Parnkgjas was the scientist of the Wandenreich and has a link to Robert Accutrone and BG9.
https://preview.redd.it/rnk0c7s3mh0d1.png?width=437&format=png&auto=webp&s=7ab4622fa90b37082a10573c1528c31a38c8f3ab
Pernida governs progress and has the ability to rapidly evolve which is associated with science.
https://preview.redd.it/2af1gv65mh0d1.png?width=494&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3687b83f41f447d13f81c21346b4fcc6440a535
There is a theory this new female Quincy is Pernida which I think is possible. Pernida did always sound like a girl's name to me. There is precedent, Ukitake merged with Mimihagi and become the Soul King's Right Arm. I think Pernida got overtaken by the left arm.
https://preview.redd.it/8uvcjed6mh0d1.png?width=486&format=png&auto=webp&s=76e46013dffd5141a370f9813d676da245beb46a
Robert Accutrone did not get much screen time but he did have noteworthy scenes.
https://preview.redd.it/3waytly7mh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d8923f0bb8351b5110497e1a592e6916f4bf018
He was the only Sternritter left behind that knew Yhwach would use Auswählen on them. He calls Lillotto and Giselle newcomers hinting at him being a veteran of the last Quincy war and maybe beyond that since Bazz-B who is also a senior member was surprised.
https://preview.redd.it/1r0nqw79mh0d1.png?width=448&format=png&auto=webp&s=89951d7c7d5f08af0ede2907cec963a4ac86f25c
Robert Accutrone was the only Sternritter stripped to bone the first time Auswählen was used which seems significant. When Haschwalth was describing the technique Robert, Gerard and Pernida were used as the visual demonstrations which I think links them.
https://preview.redd.it/f85td3hamh0d1.png?width=343&format=png&auto=webp&s=e1996d4c352c69e62e27fe49670c446044eae9cd
Later on Gerard was also stripped to the bone when Auswählen was used on him the same as Robert I think another hint to a connection.
https://preview.redd.it/2iwtivfcvm0d1.png?width=826&format=png&auto=webp&s=230937799488683dc8dcbd2cfae5de88465da02d
Gerard isn't a normal Quincy, he is the heart of the Soul King and in Klub Outside Kubo stated that Quincy Zeichen that appeared after he was bifurcated was his core. I think Gerard and Robert are artificial lifeforms created by Pernida.
https://preview.redd.it/wvc399tqvm0d1.png?width=487&format=png&auto=webp&s=14162c5d8abcf0332eb953f86a9445e67f1e92bf
If my theory is true I think it gives a clue to Robert's Schrift, I think it is N: The Nightmare. I think it will connect to Nemu, an artificial soul. Her name starts with N and her full name Nanagō Nemuri translates to Sleep No. 7.
https://preview.redd.it/btxwgnrcmh0d1.png?width=451&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d53b92b23641b4e3ec3908f7ae4f7f26df86c27
Mayuri stated that it was the dream of all Shinigami to create a soul from nothing like god. Which is why he called it the Nemuri Project since you can't dream while awake. Robert's Vollständig is Grimaniel God's Step. I think the symbolism is following in the footsteps of god (the Soul King) in creating life. The term comes up in the anime, Aizen told Yhwach he was following in the foot steps of a Shinigami. I guessing his ability will be dream manipulation.
https://preview.redd.it/jvagnmgfmh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=a512ecb0c10ef2b5bab68d1825ee65de9a56115d
There is an old theory that BG9 is really Shawlong Koufang. Not only do they look alike but it was bolstered by them having the same voice actor. If true I think it was Pernida who recovered him and transformed him into BG9.
https://preview.redd.it/iqq0cqhgmh0d1.png?width=492&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdc1a7836dc48c3e00640ef7574552adec93bc13
We know the Wandenreich forcibly recruited Arrancar into their ranks and some were given Quincy powers.
https://preview.redd.it/m4ki7ynhmh0d1.png?width=531&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d1db077cb2262d9c27d7dfffafaff6eda2a0ed0
Interestingly enough BG9 was executed along with Cang Du.
https://preview.redd.it/4dius7pimh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=97617ae24e21b5881eca1651c60aea349d59a0bb
Cang Du did not believe Bankai had a mind of their own since he didn't believe in pantheism. It seems like BG9 is an object.
https://preview.redd.it/qcd9j4sjmh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=2782bf4a6ee99603f16f2fc8ed3452bb45daa692
BG9 claimed he did not breathe. And Soi Fon called him a mechanical doll that Mayuri would find interesting which I think is important since it's a link to science and Mayuri did resurrect a couple of Arrancars.
https://preview.redd.it/zhnpwi8lmh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9331287fb7325d91b90ef78380bafa6c3388863
We know Cang Du is objectively wrong about pantheism, all things in the Bleach world have souls. Which makes me think that Shawlong had a Soul King fragment and is why Pernida turned him into seemingly a cyborg.
https://preview.redd.it/fmwfj7vmmh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=9fb091732da0cca06f5d3b67167002c6719ecda5
Like I mentioned before Arrancars did come back from the dead so resurrection is on the table. And Grimmjow did appear so it there could be a reunion.
https://preview.redd.it/c1jz8ihomh0d1.png?width=1012&format=png&auto=webp&s=d34057fd32a87450b9762c701d8a90c37a40438e
If BG9 is indeed Shawlong then I think it's a clue to his Schrift, I think it is K: The Kingmaker. I think it will connect to making Grimmjow his king and sacrificing a portion of himself so Grimmjow could become a Vasto Lorde. Shawlong came to the conclusion he could not become a Vasto Lorde which reminded of White's speech about the difference between a king and his horse. I think it will also connect to hybridization. Aizen researched hybridization and created the Hogyoku to become the new Soul King. I think it's a support type ability that empowers others.
https://preview.redd.it/go81poqpmh0d1.png?width=556&format=png&auto=webp&s=accdd89b320f6c77b964dd125271f3b8e3d7eaf1
I think Robert's briefcase will come into play, I think it holds Rangiku's Soul King fragment that Aizen stole. I think BG9 and Robert will return it to her fulfilling Gin's goal.
https://preview.redd.it/rlzy3opqmh0d1.png?width=849&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf6adea92a0b9ab4c736c1509b52a726f4ba3f58
Shawlong was the first Arrancar created with the Hogyoku. I think he bonded with Rangiku's Soul King fragment during the transformation. I think Pernida removed the fragment from him when she recovered him. I'm guessing Pernida was overtaken before she could make use it so gave it to Robert for safekeeping.

https://preview.redd.it/m4ki7ynhmh0d1.png?width=531&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d1db077cb2262d9c27d7dfffafaff6eda2a0ed0
Interestingly enough BG9 was executed along with Cang Du.
https://preview.redd.it/4dius7pimh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=97617ae24e21b5881eca1651c60aea349d59a0bb
Cang Du did not believe Bankai had a mind of their own since he didn't believe in pantheism. It seems like BG9 is an object.
https://preview.redd.it/qcd9j4sjmh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=2782bf4a6ee99603f16f2fc8ed3452bb45daa692
BG9 claimed he did not breathe. And Soi Fon called him a mechanical doll that Mayuri would find interesting which I think is important since it's a link to science and Mayuri did resurrect a couple of Arrancars.
https://preview.redd.it/zhnpwi8lmh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9331287fb7325d91b90ef78380bafa6c3388863
We know Cang Du is objectively wrong about pantheism, all things in the Bleach world have souls. Which makes me think that Shawlong had a Soul King fragment and is why Pernida turned him into seemingly a cyborg.
https://preview.redd.it/fmwfj7vmmh0d1.png?width=540&format=png&auto=webp&s=9fb091732da0cca06f5d3b67167002c6719ecda5
Like I mentioned before Arrancars did come back from the dead so resurrection is on the table. And Grimmjow did appear so it there could be a reunion.
https://preview.redd.it/c1jz8ihomh0d1.png?width=1012&format=png&auto=webp&s=d34057fd32a87450b9762c701d8a90c37a40438e
If BG9 is indeed Shawlong then I think it's a clue to his Schrift, I think it is K: The Kingmaker. I think it will connect to making Grimmjow his king and sacrificing a portion of himself so Grimmjow could become a Vasto Lorde. Shawlong came to the conclusion he could not become a Vasto Lorde which reminded of White's speech about the difference between a king and his horse. I think it will also connect to hybridization. Aizen researched hybridization and created the Hogyoku to become the new Soul King. I think it's a support type ability that empowers others.
https://preview.redd.it/go81poqpmh0d1.png?width=556&format=png&auto=webp&s=accdd89b320f6c77b964dd125271f3b8e3d7eaf1
I think Robert's briefcase will come into play, I think it holds Rangiku's Soul King fragment that Aizen stole. I think BG9 and Robert will return it to her fulfilling Gin's goal.
https://preview.redd.it/rlzy3opqmh0d1.png?width=849&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf6adea92a0b9ab4c736c1509b52a726f4ba3f58
Shawlong was the first Arrancar created with the Hogyoku. I think he bonded with Rangiku's Soul King fragment during the transformation. I think Pernida removed the fragment from him when she recovered him. I'm guessing Pernida was overtaken before she could make use it so gave it to Robert for safekeeping.

2024.05.16 00:54 Realistic_Garlic9802 Sold boat and unable to confirm ID of buyer now police are threatening to fine me.
I advertised a boat on Marketplace and had a person come and give me a deposit. They did not ask for a receipt. They came a few days later when I wasn't home and have my partner the outstanding balance. They then came unannounced a few days later and took the boat while no one was home. I have this recorded on CCTV cameras. I repeatedly contacted them via messenger including asking them to come and sign the transfer paperwork for registration and disposal paperwork without response. They were using an account that has no identifying details or photo.
A few days later the Water Police rang me as the boat is anchored in an unsafe manner and I am still listed as the registered owner. I explained the situation and the person was quite understanding but had an urgent call and had to go. I contacted Transport for NSW and asked their advice. I was advised to submit the disposal form via the online facility and including any details I can, just so there is a record that I have disposed of it. I only know the name that they introduced themselves by which seems likely a nickname. I had to enter unknown in all other fields except First Name where I entered this name.
I spoke to the Water Police again yesterday (different person to first conversation) and the person was quite aggressive towards me. He is saying it is 100% my responsibility to identify the person and submit the proper paperwork. He stated that the advice from Transport for NSW is incorrect and that I cannot submit the disposal papers without proper buyer ID details. He told me I should take the boat back to ensure it is stored in a safe manner otherwise I am liable for fines which they may start to issue along with personal damage should someone run into it at night (it does not have an anchor light displayed). When I tried to ask what I can possibly do in my position he kept using the "that is all civil" card and not their problem.
I think this is pretty unfair on me. I would think that in civil law once money has changed hands and item is paid for in full, based on a verbal pre-agreement, that the item is no longer my possession. Especially when he took it away himself unannounced. If I am correct in this thinking, surely if I were to take it back it would be tampering with someone else's property and possibly even theft and I would be introducing all sorts of other liability should the vessel do damage or be damaged. Obviously the Police don't want to get involved and the easiest thing for them seems to be to target me. In fairness to them I could be making the whole thing up but have a fair bit of CCTV footage to support my story.
Wondering what I should do from here.

2024.05.16 00:51 Virtual-Length-7056 Francesca's Blue Rain lace cutout halter romper
 | I'm looking for a specific romper that appears to be discontinued.. they didn't have one in my wife's size and we didn't get the name of the dress before we left. I called them and they said the tag said "SL halter CR". Im not sure what that means but I'm hoping someone can help me find out what it was called so maybe we can get one. submitted by Virtual-Length-7056 to findfashion [link] [comments] The romper was mid length, had a lace/mesh cutout around the front of the waist, it was backless and the neckline was more a deep v/plunging. Apologizes if I used the wrong name for something. Thanks in advance! |
2024.05.16 00:47 ratjongen Removal of old account with "personal info"
Is there any way to have an account removed that I made myself in the past if the email has been deleted? This might be a common question but instagram helpdesk is useless for this stuff nowadays. It's nothing horrible but I just found out an old empty account from years ago still exists and it has my full name in it, which I have changed so I would like it to not be traceable on the internet forever. The name is "tagged" in the bio, so I cant say it is an impersonation as it's not really claiming to be me. It has been removed from google search but I am being stalked by some random child lately and they followed it so thats how I found out it still exists. There is no danger or serious consequences but I just don't want my full legal and soon to be "previous" name to be stated on an instagram account that can apparently be found pretty easily. Does instagram not remove inactive accounts anymore?

2024.05.16 00:41 ArminGame Analysing protection in vol. 5 Blood on the tracks
 | There are interesting themes in this subplot about protection, bond between two and what is mother to someone that Oshimi explored as well as some interesting parallels between characters. submitted by ArminGame to ChinoWadachi [link] [comments] Fukiishi is lacking connection and is searching for someone to have a deep understanding of them and Seiichi is that person. Since they both suffer from bad mothers she can relate to him and understand him better. There are a lot of scenes that show us Fukiishi now playing a role of a mother for Seiichi as well as being a parallel to her previous mother or Seiko in this case as Seiichi sees his mother in her. Even tho the idea of ditching mother is main thing in this chapter it seems like Seiichi cannot escape his connection with the mother which we see later comparing to Fukiishi that mentally ditched her. This is the first example of Fukiihi being a new mother.. First when she touches him and says not to mom like that as she will be now the mother and holds his hands dragging him home like Seiko do. https://preview.redd.it/vcj037iwqn0d1.png?width=712&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8f43d79ab2f3b197635ae95c76c168652f9456e We see with Fukiishi bed sheets there are bunch of ribbons on which symbolize two bonds of persons that share something in common showing us Fukiishi and Seiichi new connections. https://preview.redd.it/ss05ozmxqn0d1.png?width=482&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0d4a7d8ffb0549abd04458e2e17ebe92742f314 The title of chapter 35 being "her room" but its not very different from Seiichi room. Seiichi is on top floor so when Fukiishi is coming the sound remind him of his room when Seiko comes to him as well as there being same window with curtains and the clock that is loud like in his room. https://preview.redd.it/c1z5utx4rn0d1.png?width=726&format=png&auto=webp&s=1076da5cf63cb937c569fd7db3308173a8b4c893 Fukiishi giving him food and watching him. Food brings people more together and connect them., it makes people more relax and happy. Also if we go back to chapter 3 when Fukiishi saw a cat and pet it Seiichi is seeing blushing. Seiichi is like a cat he gets easily friendly with a person who is being nice to and fed him food. This scene is very similar to that moment when Fukiishi asked Seiichi for the date. The rice balls with black and white color just like the cat in chapter 3. https://preview.redd.it/b9o38vjarn0d1.png?width=725&format=png&auto=webp&s=a7229a0d7ab640d15c7e4236c71f46e676c35f15 And since Fukiishi said they are alone because the dad went drinking it creates the same scenario like Seiichi would be at home with his mother. A panel with teddy bear is shown three times its a foreshadowing that Seiichi will replace it at the end of the volume when Fukiishi and Seiichi goes to sleep together. https://preview.redd.it/duzuy6qcrn0d1.png?width=737&format=png&auto=webp&s=339babc316ec154275bcadfe23ba89b86d6b161b The window that is covered with curtains showing us Seiichi is separate of mother. There are two windows when Seiichi looks one side is closed and the other is reflecting him as that window is him and the other is the mother which is not with him anymore also Seiichi doing that triggers the change of Fukiishi character as in next panels when she left to shower and comes back to room she is in complete white after showering and Seiichi still being in black is her apperance starting to change as Seiichi getting reminded of his mother more and more in later scenes. https://preview.redd.it/81u6e1cz6o0d1.png?width=770&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c51cf3214238f2512e4c502ae7602d5cec1bdb5 Fukiishi fear of abonnement comes from relationship with her mother but also her words reminding Seiichi of his mother and thinking that moment when she said help me after pushing Shigeru. Seiichi didnt ditch her back than meaning he already decided from the start he will not abandoned her he also says yes to Fukiishi even tho he is thinking of that event also showing us that he didnt really ditch the mother last volume it was more an action to protect Fukiishi. This also tells us that this story will be about Seiko and Seiichi trying to help her. https://preview.redd.it/pgglgcjnrn0d1.png?width=584&format=png&auto=webp&s=539fd72a54c6c390c84c516c323df825fc903315 https://preview.redd.it/a4whiggorn0d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=faf7872e822d5bb642f6f444eb51b0f32ebb69e9 A close shot of Fukiishi lips as the bubble saying Sei as Seiko is calling him again the parallels between them too as Seiichi seeing her as Seiko. https://preview.redd.it/wo52v7dprn0d1.png?width=776&format=png&auto=webp&s=462396eadea64f3cb2f14e087ac02a3b0670efb5 With imagery we see how Seiichi is getting more and more away from Fukiishi after he wakes up when he is in bathroom we see two windows facing him and at the back is one window that represend Fukiishi alone and the other two him and the mother. Its like wherever Seiichi goes the connection is there no matter where he is. She is also placed like her head is in the frame of the window and Seiichi is not able to see her clearly as he is thinking of his mother. https://preview.redd.it/5nz8b8krrn0d1.png?width=234&format=png&auto=webp&s=f78ece7309ca4cf7b844cf6fdc8564b67766cd4a https://preview.redd.it/4mkdok5srn0d1.png?width=342&format=png&auto=webp&s=355c0b1e5791fbfb8933ebb5ef55270995abdef3 Just like in his home Seiko pushes the father away and wants to be with just Seiichi alone just like Fukiishi is doing right now. Showing us bad side of her as he is flawed since she has traits from previous mother. Later in the room we can see this time the curtains are being more open and both windows are shown foreshadowing Seiko coming back to Seiichi. But also showing us rain witch also plays role as a foreshadow. https://preview.redd.it/li44a2urwn0d1.png?width=772&format=png&auto=webp&s=0df96d5b7cfef48c554b57ca33ae407430173a12 Seiichi being in darkness and is clinging to Fukiishi who is bigger than him and in light. https://preview.redd.it/iaeotvnurn0d1.png?width=503&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab3561262ba249ed73a424c6d0d52b289d061a27 When Seiko comes to visit Fukiishi and Seiko are placed that Seiichi cant see Fukiishi fully anymore she is not what he is thinking of anymore as the window is blocking her but see Seiko as she is in center of attention and he is looking down at her from above. https://preview.redd.it/hagnes3bsn0d1.png?width=509&format=png&auto=webp&s=b19e8371d468d4f481ee26fe134f427f837030e8 Seiko is soaked from rain and the rain has a lot of different meaning but one of the main thing is the mood it create which is sadness but also being something to clean the dirt away or in this scene Seiko since before she was being show like a monster to Seiichi but the rain is now washing all of the sins from her as she is wet and Seiichi now seeing her without guilt and "real" her. Seiko keeps apologizing and repeating words like sorry and forgive me. We do not know if Seiko is saying what she really is feeling or just acting but as this story is told from Seiichi view and her words seems very true to him. She think she is alone in this world and only have Seiichi which is her reason to not disappear. She cannot live without him and she is pain. While screaming Seiichi name her fingernail starts bleeding showing us her internal pain growing as well as her crying which also makes Seiichi cry. Seeing person who you truly care about and love cry you cannot help yourself to be in pain as well as that person. As they both cry they are both suffering even tho their pain is different is still show us their love for each other in this moment. https://preview.redd.it/w6giy445zn0d1.png?width=522&format=png&auto=webp&s=12d39973c78c7243884125295cd7cb222db6195f A panel with Seiko reflection in Seiichi eyes. This is important since Seiichi sees her weak and feels bad for her but later Fukiishi tells Seiichi that the mother is teriifying and scary. Showing us how Fukiishi perceive his mother and how Seiichi at this moment. https://preview.redd.it/htje7wmgsn0d1.png?width=408&format=png&auto=webp&s=a0d5e395dda9207d10f07f0e76165a14f581c067 This panel as Seiichi sees the rain which removed all bad things from his mother and is alone without any protection as Fukiishi dad saying to take umbrella a panel later she do not responds thus not taking it. She is alone and is shown very weak looking for Seiichi which he is the protection. https://preview.redd.it/twzacwsosn0d1.png?width=454&format=png&auto=webp&s=48adaf9458b03d67571f541ccc1adf80f5a065a4 Seiichi now feels very guilty about this. When Fukiishi says I will protect you Seiichi is now thinking about protecting his mother and him being that protection as he also feels in this moment like he did something very bad and sinned. The new location we have another 2 choices shown through environment which is one that Seiichi could go another way with Fukiishi or go back to his mother. https://preview.redd.it/351kc0ausn0d1.png?width=788&format=png&auto=webp&s=d748f71ffdc5a1b34b5760fec934964d7367de8a Seiichi gives his jacket to Fukiishi as protection from cold but she do not accept this but rather wants with him fully and get closer her being desperate to connect more as the jacket is not enough but later Seiichi decides to go to mother and be that protection for her instead. Fukiishi words saying to take her away showing as now her weak side as she wants someone to save her from but Seiichi already promise to his mom to go with her away from the home in volume 3 adding more guilt to Seiichi as he going to break in next couple of pages as he feels she is watching inside of him. Seiichi giving Fukiishi jacket and shoes showing us Seiichi do not want to this and leave Fukiishi alone but he has no other choice as he already decided from the beginning of this story to help his mother and be protection for her. This time there is no photo album but instead we get a drawing of Seiko by Seiichi in middle school as well as two letters which are pretty interesting. https://preview.redd.it/s749x0o7tn0d1.png?width=945&format=png&auto=webp&s=11d821efa4a6d68261232aa3f012e9943eb34d12 https://preview.redd.it/xiba3018tn0d1.png?width=945&format=png&auto=webp&s=42d434f68a84be6c3ca84e29cc6936c13105d480 |
2024.05.16 00:33 HALscape Memorialising old saves
 | Note: I'm crossposting this from my Tumblr blog. I've edited it a little to redact some personal information that I'm not sure about posting on Reddit. submitted by HALscape to truenintendogs [link] [comments] This is an image-heavy post! It's also super long, sorry. I've been going through some nintendogs and nintendogs+cats games - some are mine from years ago, some are recently-acquired. But all of them come with some little pieces of history that I don't want to see disappear forever when I return people's dogs/change owner names etc, so I thought I'd memorialise them here. Eventually I'm going to return all the other people's dogs, change the owner names, etc, but without resetting the game entirely... So I wanted to make sure they're remembered. Even if it's just by me and a handful of people on here. First: from 2016-2017, this is my oldest nintendogs game. My actual oldest one was acquired in about... 2007, maybe? Maybe later than that, I was pretty late getting it compared to other people. But that cartridge is lost to time. That, or maybe it's the same one after a reset and I just don't recognise anyone in the friends list due to memory issues... But I'm really not sure. https://preview.redd.it/uvqg5ilm1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc3c77924f23af9b39afcda639ee01c08d17873d https://preview.redd.it/h49miglm1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=840164b68d9b273e7bf88fe0d72220c10034a62f I must have been playing it sometime in 2017; the owner name and the name of the corgi match my name at the time (hence why it's scribbled out, I don't go by it anymore) and the GSD is named after a friend I had at the time. The rest, aside from Lucky who I think might have been one of the old owner's dogs, are all named after Star Trek characters. 2017 was my Star Trek phase so it makes sense. https://preview.redd.it/bexigess1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e5d24e208dcbea897aca35f4ff3ef04d6f5adb9 Oh right, this. The friends list tells me that whoever had it before was playing in 2011-2012, which really makes me curious... I'm not sure if I bought this game from someone else, or if my friend gave it to me and those were their old friends or something. I don't recognise the usernames at all, I can't think of anyone we knew in 2011-2012 that matches those... So who knows. The answers are lost to time, but I'm glad I can sort of. Memorialise them all here. https://preview.redd.it/x1r9zj6u1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c06e5468f3173ec2a3ba74eac5748cd74b1c52d https://preview.redd.it/ecyijg6u1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad87d0622d16213f25e3ce2772c8aa0ffceb2045 https://preview.redd.it/iery4k6u1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd6c2e40fc07405efaaf2bc5ca6ad662f6d590e7 Next up: I think this is nintendogs+cats... Golden retriever edition? I can't recall right now. I only got it a few days ago, and it looks like the owner was playing in 2011. They seem to have spent the most time with lexy, the others didn't have many tricks unlocked. It's interesting that there's no info about the owner - I wonder if that's because it's the +cats version, so it's tied to a mii, which I of course don't have? But it still has the old mii's appearance... Maybe they really just didn't ever put a message or present up, who knows. I guess I can test that when more of my +cats versions arrive, or if anyone else has insight, feel free to share it. I really like lexy, I wish I could keep her... Unfortunately in all but one of these games (not including the first one, our own), the dogs all have lowercase names or names with symbols in them, and I just can't stomach that sadly. They have to have proper case names or it feels 'wrong' to me. I haven't returned these dogs yet, but I think I'll spend some extra time with lexy when I do. This person also only had these three dogs, there was no one in the dog hotel. https://preview.redd.it/c2k7ca8x1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d9554d226b74016ee5c35046e840117a57c1a7b https://preview.redd.it/q6frtm7x1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cfe7237322089ddf7493ad7588dfeeb476463b2 https://preview.redd.it/2t2c7n7x1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba0ceff79500f8458368f8817bcd8dcb4148efe9 Here's Dalmatian and friends. This one is my personal favourite (this specific game, not dalmatian+friends in general)! This person clearly put a lot of time and love into the game; james was almost at the top position for flying disc competitions and had high ranks in all the others too! I also just love jane 66's profile, it has so much personality. I think reading this one is when I knew I wanted to take pictures of them all rather than let them be completely lost to time. I also love that they had two identical beagles! I would never think to adopt two of the same dog but it's sweet that they liked them enough to have two. I can't be sure, but I feel like rex might have been their first dog since he's a dalmatian and the others sort of overtook him later - or maybe he was bought last, for the sake of having the 'title dog', and left in the hotel... Who knows! I really like this one. I kind of don't want to return the dogs at all, but like I said: the symbols in the names grate on me too much to keep them, sadly. https://preview.redd.it/phzq21fy1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83fab4e3ab97a9a9d7a27398955811d10fa3c42a https://preview.redd.it/j23zw0fy1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e574c111a39c7f462670d22ba98e2cfdb276af9a https://preview.redd.it/6rpffyey1o0d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a728dd68662f48e53f0424c5210470b20bf3667c Finally, dachshund and friends. This one is interesting; it looks like the last owner might only have been playing the game for a day or so. They taught rowan the first three tricks (you can only teach three a day), didn't enter any competitions, and only have 26 points as you can see. I kind of wonder what happened - did they have the game for a long time and do a reset just before they gave it away? Who knows. Their username and message are so charming to me, there's so much personality there. It's also really interesting to me that they didn't pick a profile picture, and that they called themselves 'root' in their message but didn't use that for their owner name! Kind of like saying 'I'm samuel, but you can call me sammy', haha. It's nice. That's all the ones I have for now. I have a couple more that should be delivered in a few days. I also have (or, well, don't have) two other games that are lost to me: nintendogs+cats toy poodle edition, and nintendogs+cats golden retriever edition. I'd like to talk about those too, though I don't have pictures of any of them. Golden retriever was my first +cats game, I bought it in 2017 which must have been when I first got a 3ds. I had a great dane puppy called schultz, and a little black and white kitten whose name I don't remember. I'm sure I had others, but I don't remember them either. I know screenshots of them did exist somewhere, but I think the old blog and discords I posted them to are long gone unfortunately. I last played it in 2022, which is when I also ordered +cats: toy poodle and +cats: french bulldog (I still have french bulldog). I was going through some really heavy irl stuff at the time and using nintendogs to cope I guess! In french bulldog, I have a french bulldog called Egghead and an unnamed pit bull terrier - I must have bought that dog and then stopped playing within seconds lol. I don't remember any of my toy poodle version dogs/cats. I'm not sure what happened to the other cartridges; I know I was playing them all at a friend's house a lot, so whether I left them there or I accidentally threw them out while cleaning, or they're still hidden away somewhere, who knows. It's unlikely I'll find them again though. I think my friend is likely to have thrown them out thinking they were someone else's, and if they were here I'm sure I'd have found them while I was packing all of my stuff for a move recently. Oh, right. Finally: a little shoutout to the very, very first nintendogs I ever had in like 2007 or whatever. It was nintendogs: chihuahua and friends, and I adopted a little black chihuahua called chichi (after the petz game) and a brown and white spaniel called faith (I think after my friend's oc, or a tv show character we liked). I know I had other dogs but I don't remember them at all. I probably had trouble bonding with them, like I often do if I have more than two pets. If you read all of this, thanks and congratulations! If you have stories of your own to share, like old dogs and owners from secondhand cartridges you've gotten, I'd love to hear them. |
2024.05.16 00:30 AutoModerator General Questions Thread, May 15, 2024
A thread for new collectors to ask basic questions of the community.
Frequently Asked Questions below!
A longer version of the subreddit rules is here.
For questions specifically concerning bootlegs or vendor legitimacy, please ask in the Bootleg Megathread.
NSFW & Spoiler Guidelines
Any collection posts containing bootlegs, comments advocating buying bootlegs, or links to sites selling bootlegs, recasts, or unlicensed merchandise will be removed.
People often ask about the legitimacy and/or safety of a number of websites which sell large resin statues. The more commonly-asked of those deal primarily in resins from studios which do not have a license from the Japanese IP holders to produce merchandise. Therefore links to those sites are not permitted here. Another sign is if MyFigureCollection doesn't list the either the statue, its manufacturer, or the shop it's being sold on.
MyFigureCollection
My Figure Collection is like MyAnimeList... but for figures! Their database includes thousands of items which been produced during the last couple of decades, along with reviews of shops and other helpful articles. One can also list their own collection and post gallery photos.
Shops
That’s going to depend a lot on what works for you, but most people around here buy them from Amiami, Big in Japan, Hobby Search, HobbyLink Japan, or Tokyo Otaku Mode. If none of those work for you for whatever reason, there’s a list of reputable retailers in the sidebar that you can check out at any time. Be extra careful when ordering figures from websites like Amazon or ebay, as there are a lot of bootlegs on those sites. Don’t be afraid to ask in our Bootleg Megathread if you’re unsure.
2. What differences are there between the shipping options I get from most Japanese shops?
Below is a rundown of the main shipping choices you’ll get at most retailers. Keep in mind that if an order is large enough you will be forced to use one of the more expensive options, as SAL shipments have lower size and weight restrictions.
Most shops will ask you to pay shipping on a per-order basis, but here are some that will allow combined shipping:
4. When will I get charged for my preorder?
Most Japanese shops charge you once the item is in stock and ready for shipment. When that happens, they will send you an email asking for payment. Some shops (mostly overseas ones), will allow you to pay for the item up front though, if you’d like. A few with that option are:
5. Should I expect to pay customs fees when importing figures?
That depends on where you live. Here’s a quick rundown:
You have three options for this:
A. Big in Japan is known to stock exclusive figures and ship to other countries. Usually the price is higher because they build in their proxy fees, but it’s easier than worrying about using a forwarder or proxy service. If you live in the US, Crunchyroll, Right Stuf, and Tokyo Otaku Mode also get exclusives sometimes, but out of the states the shipping can get expensive.
B. Forwarding Services: A forwarder is someone who you ship an exclusive item to so that they can forward the package on to you, usually for a flat fee + shipping. When using a forwarder you still make the purchase yourself, and enter their address into the shipping field. When the box arrives at the forwarder they will then stick your address onto the package and send it on its way.
Some popular forwarders are:
Be sure to read each sites instructions on forwarding carefully!
C. Proxy Services: With a proxy, you tell them what the item you’re looking for is and they will purchase it in your stead. This is handy for when a company doesn’t accept foreign credit cards, or you’re having trouble navigating a Japanese website.
Some popular proxies are:
7. I see a bunch of really cheap figures that ship from China on ebay. Are those okay to buy?
Generally, no. They’re most likely bootlegs. If you want a second opinion on that, feel free to ask in the Bootleg Megathread that’s always stickied at the top of the sub.
8. What’s a bootleg, and how can I avoid buying them?
A bootleg is a counterfeit figure often made using rejected molds of the official product. They are usually priced significantly lower than the genuine article, and in order to make their profit, bootleggers use lower quality materials and have less attention to detail- resulting in a substandard figure.
The Bootleg Megathread that I mentioned in question 7 is a great tool to avoid buying any bootlegs. It has a few tips and tricks to avoiding them to begin with, and a few more on how to spot them if you’re worried you might already own one.
9. Does anyone know when figure X is going to be released? How do I know if it was delayed?
My Figure Collection (sometimes referred to as MFC) does an excellent job of staying on top of information like release dates and delays. If you’re curious about an upcoming figures release date, check there first. This information can be found directly under the “Releases” section on a figure’s entry. If you only see a month and a year in that section, it means the release date has not yet been announced by the manufacturer, and there is still a chance the figure could be delayed.
If you make an account on MFC you can also subscribe to comments, changes, and pictures via a checkbox on the right hand side of a figure’s listing. Subscribing to any of these things will allow MFC to send you an email anytime the subscription in question updates. Subscribing to “changes” is a great way to keep up with release dates and delays, among other things.
10. The figure I want is long sold out at normal retailers! What’s the best place to pick it up in the aftermarket?
A list of reputable retailers can be found under the “Shops” section of the /AnimeFigures sidebar. They all sell legitimate products, and many of them also sell figures second hand. However, the most frequently suggested second hand sites are Mandarake and Amiami- who has a preowned section that they update every night save Sundays and Japanese holidays around 1PM JST and again around 6PM JST.
AmiAmi grades their pre-owned items on a letter scale. The general consensus from buyers is that their ratings are conservative, so unless the item and/or packaging is specifically indicated as having significant flaws, pre-owned items from them are usually in at least as good a condition as their rating suggests.
Note: When you search Mandarake, you’ll get the best results by using the Japanese characters for whatever you are searching. If you don’t know them, you can find them on MFC by clicking on any of the “details” in that figure’s listing.
11. Amiami has a figure I’m interested in labeled as “For sale in Japan only”. Does this mean I can’t order it without a proxy or forwarder?
No, you can still order it. Amiami’s English site has that warning on many items, and it’s mostly meant to inform you that this product was made for a Japanese market, and as such, will have Japanese speaking/writing in it- so don’t expect any instructions to be in English. If Amiami doesn’t want foreigners buying a certain product, they won’t even list it on their English site.
If you live near an Ikea try out one of these:
If you don’t live near an Ikea, Amazon has a few display options, though they are more expensive. Also keep an eye on your local Craigslist (or your country’s equivalent) and stores near you that are closing up.
13. What lighting do you guys recommend?
Ikea’s Dioder LED strips were discontinued after a long run. A current version is the Vattensten, if you're inclined to buy your case and lights at the same time.
LED strips have become very commonly available in recent years; most hardware and home furnishing stores carry a selection now. Just make sure that the lights don’t get too hot!
14. What are those clear plastic boxes that I see under everyone’s figures in their collection posts, and where can I get them?
Those are called risers. Most of us use standard acrylic risers like these. Some other, easy to find things that have been suggested are:
Another common suggestion is to visit The Container Store if you have one near you. They have a lot of things to choose from that can suit a variety of needs. Be sure to check out their standard acrylic risers, their Amac boxes, and the various display cases they sell (baseball cases, mini car cases. hockey puck cases, etc).
15. Should I keep my figures sealed?
That is, of course, up to you really, but here are a few things to keep in mind when debating this question:
Those are classifications for figures based on a few factors.
17. There are so many figure companies! Who makes good figures?!
Obviously this is a very subjective question, but as a general starting point, here are a few well renowned figure companies:
My Figure Collection can be your best friend here. Simply do a search on the name of the series or character using the search bar located at the top right of the screen, and all associated figures pop up!
Alternatively, if you’re looking at a figure’s MFC entry, most of the text under the “Details” section can be clicked on and used to run a search.
19. How can I commission a custom figure?
None of the major figure companies (Alter, Kotobukiya, Good Smile Company, etc.) will take a commission for a single figure. This thread has a few websites in it that you can check out, or you can look into garage kits. Some kit painters would be willing to resculpt, frankenstein together, or otherwise modify kits for the right price.
If you're looking for help completing a garage kit, /brushforhire may be useful.
Most people use a MFC combined with any or all of the following news sites:
To use MFC for this I’ll quote question #9.
21. Everyone’s excited about something called Wonfes….. what the heck is that?!
WonFes (short for Wonder Festival) is a biannual figure expo where many figure producers (both large and small) show off new sculpts and updates to figures already under way. Most companies save their most exciting announcements for WonFes, so we all look forward to the expo whenever it rolls around! Winter Wonder Festival is usually held in February, while Summer Wonder Festival is usually in July. The event has also spread to Shanghai, in the late spring.
22. One or two (or 15) figures were announced at WonFes that I’m really excited about! How can I keep track of their progress once the event is over?
MFC is always really quick about getting new WonFes announcements (or any others throughout the year, for that matter) listed in their database, so we suggest using that. To find a figure from the event you can search any number of things, including the name of the character or the name of the show. You can also use the tag search to search “WonderFestival 20xx_[season]” to see all items announced at that event.

Buying & Shipping
1. What’s the best place to buy my anime figures from?That’s going to depend a lot on what works for you, but most people around here buy them from Amiami, Big in Japan, Hobby Search, HobbyLink Japan, or Tokyo Otaku Mode. If none of those work for you for whatever reason, there’s a list of reputable retailers in the sidebar that you can check out at any time. Be extra careful when ordering figures from websites like Amazon or ebay, as there are a lot of bootlegs on those sites. Don’t be afraid to ask in our Bootleg Megathread if you’re unsure.
2. What differences are there between the shipping options I get from most Japanese shops?
Below is a rundown of the main shipping choices you’ll get at most retailers. Keep in mind that if an order is large enough you will be forced to use one of the more expensive options, as SAL shipments have lower size and weight restrictions.
- Unregistered SAL: Sometimes referred to as uSAL, is usually the cheapest method. It does not come with any tracking or insurance. Usually takes up 2-4 weeks for delivery.
- Registered SAL: Sometimes referred to as rSAL, is insured for the declared value up to 6,000 yen. It comes with a tracking number and usually takes 2-4 weeks for delivery.
- EMS: This method of shipping is much faster than either SAL options, usually arriving within a week of shipment. EMS shipments are insured for the declared value up to 2,000,000 yen.
- Airmail
- E-packet
- Surface: Shops don't offer this very often. It's an actual cargo ship and slow as a result.
- DHL: Becoming more available as an alternative to EMS on AmiAmi and other sites. Can be less expensive than EMS and of comparable speed, but may be more reliant on the specific geographical area being shipped to. The price is also determined by the size of the box. Offers their own tracking.
Most shops will ask you to pay shipping on a per-order basis, but here are some that will allow combined shipping:
- Amiami: You can combine orders here, as long as the orders ship in the same month. It doesn’t matter if the item is new or preowned. Any preorders that are set for that month can also be combined with other orders for that month. However, be aware that if the preorder gets delayed, Amiami will remove that item from that month’s shipment and place it on a new order. To combine orders on Amiami, use the “Combine Orders” feature under “My Account”.
- Hobby Search: Hobby Search will let you combine orders that release in the same month, but you cannot combine in stock items with preorders. If you want to combine multiple preorders, or multiple in stock items, you can do so using the “Order Recombination” feature on your account page.
- HobbyLink Japan: At HLJ, you have the option to send paid orders to their “Private Warehouse”, where you can store them for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to ship the items, you simply select which items to ship and HLJ will combine them into one shipment for you. To use this, just select the “Private Warehouse” option as shipping when you order.
4. When will I get charged for my preorder?
Most Japanese shops charge you once the item is in stock and ready for shipment. When that happens, they will send you an email asking for payment. Some shops (mostly overseas ones), will allow you to pay for the item up front though, if you’d like. A few with that option are:
- Big in Japan (Japanese store)
- Tokyo Otaku Mode
- Anime Island
- Crunchyroll
5. Should I expect to pay customs fees when importing figures?
That depends on where you live. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Australia: 10% GST is now assessed up front.
- Canada: Minimum declared value for charges is around CAD$20 for regular shipments, and CAD$60 for gifts (gifting something only seems to lower the declared value by about CAD$40, not deplete it completely). When using Amiami, try their Small Air Packet option. It comes with tracking, gets there in about the same time as EMS, and is better at avoiding customs.
- European Union: As of 1st July 2021, VAT has to be paid on all goods imported from outside of the EU. Retailers are supposed charge VAT for purchases under €150, however many Japanese retailers currently do not, so VAT will be charged when your order arrives in the EU. Orders that are >€150, VAT and duty will be charged by your local customs.
- UK: As of 1st January 2021, VAT is to be charged by retailers for orders <£135. However, customs isn't currently charging VAT on parcels valued at <£135, even if the VAT hasn't been paid. Goods >£135 will have their VAT and duty calculated and charged by customs.
- Mexico: Minimum declared value for customs fees is USD$300 for shipments by post, and USD$50 for shipments by courier.
- United States: A shipment has to have a declared value of USD$2,000 before customs starts hitting you with fees, so you most likely won’t have to worry about them at all.
You have three options for this:
A. Big in Japan is known to stock exclusive figures and ship to other countries. Usually the price is higher because they build in their proxy fees, but it’s easier than worrying about using a forwarder or proxy service. If you live in the US, Crunchyroll, Right Stuf, and Tokyo Otaku Mode also get exclusives sometimes, but out of the states the shipping can get expensive.
B. Forwarding Services: A forwarder is someone who you ship an exclusive item to so that they can forward the package on to you, usually for a flat fee + shipping. When using a forwarder you still make the purchase yourself, and enter their address into the shipping field. When the box arrives at the forwarder they will then stick your address onto the package and send it on its way.
Some popular forwarders are:
Be sure to read each sites instructions on forwarding carefully!
C. Proxy Services: With a proxy, you tell them what the item you’re looking for is and they will purchase it in your stead. This is handy for when a company doesn’t accept foreign credit cards, or you’re having trouble navigating a Japanese website.
Some popular proxies are:

7. I see a bunch of really cheap figures that ship from China on ebay. Are those okay to buy?
Generally, no. They’re most likely bootlegs. If you want a second opinion on that, feel free to ask in the Bootleg Megathread that’s always stickied at the top of the sub.
8. What’s a bootleg, and how can I avoid buying them?
A bootleg is a counterfeit figure often made using rejected molds of the official product. They are usually priced significantly lower than the genuine article, and in order to make their profit, bootleggers use lower quality materials and have less attention to detail- resulting in a substandard figure.
The Bootleg Megathread that I mentioned in question 7 is a great tool to avoid buying any bootlegs. It has a few tips and tricks to avoiding them to begin with, and a few more on how to spot them if you’re worried you might already own one.
9. Does anyone know when figure X is going to be released? How do I know if it was delayed?
My Figure Collection (sometimes referred to as MFC) does an excellent job of staying on top of information like release dates and delays. If you’re curious about an upcoming figures release date, check there first. This information can be found directly under the “Releases” section on a figure’s entry. If you only see a month and a year in that section, it means the release date has not yet been announced by the manufacturer, and there is still a chance the figure could be delayed.
If you make an account on MFC you can also subscribe to comments, changes, and pictures via a checkbox on the right hand side of a figure’s listing. Subscribing to any of these things will allow MFC to send you an email anytime the subscription in question updates. Subscribing to “changes” is a great way to keep up with release dates and delays, among other things.
10. The figure I want is long sold out at normal retailers! What’s the best place to pick it up in the aftermarket?
A list of reputable retailers can be found under the “Shops” section of the /AnimeFigures sidebar. They all sell legitimate products, and many of them also sell figures second hand. However, the most frequently suggested second hand sites are Mandarake and Amiami- who has a preowned section that they update every night save Sundays and Japanese holidays around 1PM JST and again around 6PM JST.
AmiAmi grades their pre-owned items on a letter scale. The general consensus from buyers is that their ratings are conservative, so unless the item and/or packaging is specifically indicated as having significant flaws, pre-owned items from them are usually in at least as good a condition as their rating suggests.
Note: When you search Mandarake, you’ll get the best results by using the Japanese characters for whatever you are searching. If you don’t know them, you can find them on MFC by clicking on any of the “details” in that figure’s listing.
11. Amiami has a figure I’m interested in labeled as “For sale in Japan only”. Does this mean I can’t order it without a proxy or forwarder?
No, you can still order it. Amiami’s English site has that warning on many items, and it’s mostly meant to inform you that this product was made for a Japanese market, and as such, will have Japanese speaking/writing in it- so don’t expect any instructions to be in English. If Amiami doesn’t want foreigners buying a certain product, they won’t even list it on their English site.
Displaying Your Figures
12. What display cases do you recommend?If you live near an Ikea try out one of these:
- Klingsbo
- Billy (Often used with Morliden doors (now the HÖGBO and glass shelves.)
- Detolf: Formerly the go-to choice for inexpensive display cabinetry, the Detolf was first made flimsier around 2020 and then essentially phased out of the name, to become the BLÅLIDEN. Knockoff versions of widely-varying quality are commonly found on other shopping sites these days, though.
If you don’t live near an Ikea, Amazon has a few display options, though they are more expensive. Also keep an eye on your local Craigslist (or your country’s equivalent) and stores near you that are closing up.
13. What lighting do you guys recommend?
Ikea’s Dioder LED strips were discontinued after a long run. A current version is the Vattensten, if you're inclined to buy your case and lights at the same time.
LED strips have become very commonly available in recent years; most hardware and home furnishing stores carry a selection now. Just make sure that the lights don’t get too hot!
14. What are those clear plastic boxes that I see under everyone’s figures in their collection posts, and where can I get them?
Those are called risers. Most of us use standard acrylic risers like these. Some other, easy to find things that have been suggested are:
- Plastic picture cubes
- Card Deck Boxes
- If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own!
Another common suggestion is to visit The Container Store if you have one near you. They have a lot of things to choose from that can suit a variety of needs. Be sure to check out their standard acrylic risers, their Amac boxes, and the various display cases they sell (baseball cases, mini car cases. hockey puck cases, etc).
15. Should I keep my figures sealed?
That is, of course, up to you really, but here are a few things to keep in mind when debating this question:
- Keeping it sealed can actually damage your figure. PVC figures usually have something called plasticizer in them, and that plasticizer needs to be able to breath. If a PVC figure isn’t exposed to oxygen, after a period of time the plasticizer starts to break down and form a sticky substance on the surface of the figure. Simply opening your figures and taking them out of the box prevents this from happening. If you happen to find plasticizer goo on one of your figures, Kahotan has a handy guide for dealing with it.
- Unlike some other figure markets, keeping an anime figure sealed won’t raise its value by a whole lot. In fact, because of the plasticizer problem mentioned above, your figure could actually be in better condition if you open it versus keeping it sealed.
Finding the Right Figure(s) for You
16. What are "scales" and "prizes"? What is the difference between them?Those are classifications for figures based on a few factors.
- "Prizes" are generally more simply produced figures which are intended to be given as prizes for playing arcade games. They are inexpensive and lack the detail of scale figures, though some prize figure lines have standouts which may approach lower-end scales in quality. That is uncommon and often depends on the individual figure.
- "Scales" are called such because they are nominally designed to be proportional to the dimensions of the character which they are based on. They are generally of much better manufacture and materials than prize figures, allowing for more detail in painting, accessories, or complex poses.
- "Trading" figures appear in gashapon machines or as blind boxes on shop counters, often as sets which include multiple characters. As suggested by the class name, the randomness encourages trading. They are usually very inexpensively-produced, though as with prizes, some series are better than others.
- "Non-scale" encompasses a variety of other categories. It is often used to describe poseable figure lines such as figma and Nendoroids.
17. There are so many figure companies! Who makes good figures?!
Obviously this is a very subjective question, but as a general starting point, here are a few well renowned figure companies:
- Alter
- Max Factory
- Good Smile Company
- Kotobukiya (usually hit or miss for people. Use your best judgement based off of the prototype)
- Flare
- Stronger
My Figure Collection can be your best friend here. Simply do a search on the name of the series or character using the search bar located at the top right of the screen, and all associated figures pop up!
Alternatively, if you’re looking at a figure’s MFC entry, most of the text under the “Details” section can be clicked on and used to run a search.
19. How can I commission a custom figure?
None of the major figure companies (Alter, Kotobukiya, Good Smile Company, etc.) will take a commission for a single figure. This thread has a few websites in it that you can check out, or you can look into garage kits. Some kit painters would be willing to resculpt, frankenstein together, or otherwise modify kits for the right price.
If you're looking for help completing a garage kit, /brushforhire may be useful.
Keeping Up with New Announcements
20. How can I keep up with figure news (announcements, updates, etc.)?Most people use a MFC combined with any or all of the following news sites:
- Neko Magic
- Alter’s Blog (In Japanese)
- Kahotan’s Blog (Only GSC and their sister companies)
To use MFC for this I’ll quote question #9.
If you make an account on MFC you can also subscribe to comments, changes, and pictures via a checkbox on the right hand side of a figure’s listing. Subscribing to any of these things will allow MFC to send you an email anytime the subscription in question updates. Subscribing to “changes” is a great way to keep up with release dates and delays, among other things.Most companies have one or more Twitter accounts. Some examples: Good Smile Company sales, Good Smile's USA branch, Max Factory, AmiAmi Hobby News.
21. Everyone’s excited about something called Wonfes….. what the heck is that?!
WonFes (short for Wonder Festival) is a biannual figure expo where many figure producers (both large and small) show off new sculpts and updates to figures already under way. Most companies save their most exciting announcements for WonFes, so we all look forward to the expo whenever it rolls around! Winter Wonder Festival is usually held in February, while Summer Wonder Festival is usually in July. The event has also spread to Shanghai, in the late spring.
22. One or two (or 15) figures were announced at WonFes that I’m really excited about! How can I keep track of their progress once the event is over?
MFC is always really quick about getting new WonFes announcements (or any others throughout the year, for that matter) listed in their database, so we suggest using that. To find a figure from the event you can search any number of things, including the name of the character or the name of the show. You can also use the tag search to search “WonderFestival 20xx_[season]” to see all items announced at that event.
2024.05.16 00:29 jdarcino [Online, PF1e] [PBP] [LGBTQ+ only] [18+] [CST] Four Players Need YOU to Run Jade Regent!
Heya, the name's Aurora or Auri for short - I go by she/they pronouns, and our group (of which there are four members, including me) is looking for a queer GM to run the Jade Regent adventure path. We, for a brief period, had found a GM - unfortunately he just recently had to bail, and since the campaign has only barely started (we've yet to make it to a combat encounter), we figured it wasn't too late to look for a new GM. We're all 100% willing to work with someone new and are still excited to play; we really don't want this game to die out.
As for why we are specifically looking for a queer GM, well, all of us are some flavor of queer and, given the kinds of characters we've made, aren't comfortable playing this specific game with someone who isn't themselves queer. Some specifications are below:
System Pathfinder 1st edition
Timezones CST or adjacent; we've got two EST players, one CST player, and one PST player.
Age 18+; we'd prefer to play with someone in our age range (which is generally around 19-23).
Setup We'll be playing asynchronously on Discord; as for VTT - whatever works simplest; our previous GM was planning to use Roll20 screenshots to relay the state of combat, but whatever's simplest for you we can absolutely do.
Variant Rules We'll be using Elephant in the Room (third-party system, link if you haven't heard of it) as well as the Paizo variant systems, Background Skills and Hero Points. Also, Jade Regent has some subsystems it introduces - namely caravans and the relationship systems - which we discussed with our previous GM; the ultimate decision ended up being abandoning the combat aspect of caravans and dropping the relationship system entirely.
Content While we are not wanting anything NSFW, we're looking for someone who's okay with and willing to engage in the SFW romance aspect of Jade Regent.
Playstyle We're on roughly a 50/50 or 60/40 RP vs. Combat split. Our group is chill and very welcoming overall.
I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the game or about our group! If you're interested, please either contact me through Reddit (by commenting here or messaging/chatting me) or DM me directly on Discord; my tag is polarbearauri. Hope to hear from you soon!

2024.05.16 00:25 _manster_ cHAos multi panel R3xS Debug image for new displays
Hack Around has released a debug image that detects the display versions automatically. This will mean no more fiddling around with .dtb files in the future!
From discord:
submitted by _manster_ to R36S [link] [comments]
From discord:
I made a debug image for the new panels. the purpose is to automatically detect new panels and load the correct config without any dtb replacement, just plug and play. before the code it gets into AmberELEC, I need more tests.GitHub link
write the new image to a SD card. if the device has one of 3 known panels it will boot normally. if is not booting, then it might be a "special" panel, in that case you need a different timing for the panel. so let the image to install (5-10min), power off the device and boot the device by holding X button and the OS will change the timing for the display. if the device is still not even booting with X, DM me, you might have a new panel, and because is a debug image I included some "extras" to get info about the display you are using. this image can be used even for devices DOA, like that we understand if you device is really dead or just wrong timing/panel/init etc. don't forget to give me feedback. thanks!

2024.05.16 00:22 sowdowgg [17/05/24] East London craft beer @ Brick Lane Taproom Brick Lane
Hi all, looking to create a semi regular social group in East London around craft beers but also to allow people to find small sub groups to do things like climbing/running/gaming/Coffee/table top gaming in the area. Pop by to meet some people. I'm 43M if that helps.
I'll be there at Friday 7.30 PM for a drink.
So this will be my first time at the Brick Lane taproom in shoreditch. I believe they have a good selection of beers and a pizza place next door. As it's closer to shoreditch/brick lane there are a lot of options for late drinks.
Closest Tube Station is Shoreditch High Street
Brick Lane Taproom
How to get there
Look for a bald Chinese guy wearing a name tag that says "hello my name is sow". Number is zero seven five 9 3 sixsix nine 2 zero six

2024.05.16 00:22 No_Delivery_9393 Confrimation & Saint Relic
 | I was confirmed last Wednesday May 8 and took the name of Saint Judas Thaddeus. And yesterday May 14. I got to meet & greet Saint Jude (Judas Thaddeus ) through his relic that is in tour in the USA first time it has left Rome since 335AD. submitted by No_Delivery_9393 to Catholicism [link] [comments] By good grace of the most high god , I stood in line 4-5 hrs and was fortunate enough to actually sit in church during the special 2 hour Mass that was attended for him. The mass was in Latin style ( I have never been to mass like this ) and bilingual ( English n Spanish) I found myself crying in mass, and not sure, not sobbing but just tears would flow out of my eyes when i would listen to song in Latin the our father in Latin, my eyes wouldn’t stop pouring out tears. In many ways I have realized how blessed I am that I can walk and talk and have a functional mind because countless ( thousands ) of people would line up to see the relic most people got to spend 1-5 seconds in front of the relic I got see it for almost 2 hours and I can see so many people with serious illness, real disability, and myself I struggle with addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, pride, selfishness and realize today how stupid I have been all my life, the good lord has blessed me in more ways that I will ever deserve, I just cared about myself when there are people in serious pain . Today I come as a humble servant sharing the news because i don’t have many friends nor do I talk to the majority of my family, but I made a friend last night with one of the 12 apostles Saint Jude. I have made a few 3rd degree relics by touching 1st degree relic of Saint Jude arm at the display. I offer anyone here a prayer for anyone going through a hard time, I will pray for you and ask saint Jude to intercede to the good lord Jesus Christ. For healing and deliverance. The relic is still in the Los Angeles area I plan on making another visit May 27. If I can I will write their name and hold it against the glass and if you live in Southern California you still have a chance to see it if you go on the website apostleoftheimpossible.com there are more info dates . Cheers & have a blessed & beautiful day |
