2023.05.29 00:28 Lexxiah The Voiceless - Warning: It’s Long
| First off I appreciate all the suggestions, advice and encouragement. I’ve been posting about a trio of senior kitties, trying to find them homes because they were wilting at the Baldwin Park shelter. There were many awesome people I heard from and that helped a lot. Thank you all. I picked up Thalia yesterday morning from the shelter. The moment I opened her carrier box the smell was absolutely awful, she smelled like rotten filth and had globs of thick yellow and red drool hanging from both sides of her mouth. The globs were everywhere but her back, dried all over and incredibly disgusting. She was more dried filth than cat. But she purred and leaned into my petting. I got her home, bathed her and examined the notes from the shelter vet. He noted a few times that she had stomatitis and a poor prognosis. He knew the first time he checked her how much pain she was in and just let her stay months at that shelter in excruciating pain. I made her an appointment for this morning with my trusted vet, he’s a very good man. He was horrified that the shelter didn’t euthanize her immediately, for her sake. The chance of fixing her issues was very slim and he said she had to be at an 11/10 on the pain scale all day, every day. This issue didn’t happen overnight, it would have taken years. Her original owner had to have known…for years…what was happening. When the condition became too bad she dumped her at a shelter. That shelter didn’t do what they were supposed to for a suffering animal. A person adopted her and returned her for “aggression” within 3 days. This was complete and utter BS, this little angel did nothing but purr and enjoy cuddles. I do a lot of rescues. Since October alone I’ve scooped up dozens of hamsters and a few cats, rescuing them from situations that their negligent, uncaring owners caused. Did you know that every hamster cage sold by stores in the US is insanely cruel to hamsters? Even the smallest dwarf needs a minimum of 650 sq inches and at least 6-8” of bedding. If you go to Home Depot and look at their 55 gallon storage bin, that’s about the size you need…at least. Anything less is cruel and is even against the law in countries like Germany. All that chewing-on-the-bars and running around that so many people like to say is cute is a hamster being driven mad by what amounts to a Harry Potter staircase closet for a human. Animals are living creatures and deserving of at the very least a bare minimum of living conditions. They are little souls dependent on the people that are supposed to be caring for them. If you don’t want an animal for life then don’t get one please. I don’t care if it’s a hamster, rat, cat, possum or horse. If they are living beings then they sure as hell should be treated as such and not like disposable toys that can be ignored, abandoned and tossed away like trash. Don’t get that hamster because your child (who is probably not ready for the responsibility) thought it was cute in a pet store. Do your research and be willing to provide what the animal needs for the rest of its life or DON’T GET IT. Today my rescue cat Thalia was euthanized. My vet and I realized it was the only humane solution for her, no matter how much I (selfishly) wanted a little bit more time with her. So I held her as she died, and she literally purred with her head resting on my chest until she was gone. She let go before he had fully dispensed the 2nd injection. I tried to not cry until she was gone and just kept telling her how sorry I was that humans had failed her so badly for so long. She was an absolute angel and so loving, despite the immense amount of pain she was in. When I brought her home yesterday I had decided to keep her for the rest of her life. I couldn’t wait to get her to the vet and start treatments that would help remove her pain. I didn’t know how short our time would be and instead I kissed her still head and have been crying since, switching between deep sadness and absolute rage. The way our society treats animals is the way we treat each other. There are those who truly believe that just because someone doesn’t look, sound or act like them that makes those people or animals lesser. It’s an ugly mentality and causes a huge amount of the problems in this world. Every living being is worthy of basic respect and decency. From a child going hungry without lunch because the community decided not every child deserves to be fed if their parents can’t afford it to a rat being thrown into a trash bag to die a slow and horrible death with the other rats in there with him…these are LIVING SOULS. If you don’t like animals, fine. How about not getting any and at least dealing with those you come across with decency? I know there are good people in this world as hurt and horrified by what they see every day as I am. I just feel like we are the minority and the majority just don’t care. We need to do so much better as a species. Stop this ass-backwards bigoted and hateful thinking and behave like decent human beings, please. Please. submitted by Lexxiah to cats [link] [comments] |
2023.05.29 00:26 SunstriderAlar [Event] La nueva generación en el nuevo mundo Across the sea, life goes on
La nueva generación en el nuevo mundo Across the sea, life goes on
XIV FEBRERO MDXVI
Giovanni wept to himself, quietly at first, and then with wrenching, heart-shaking shudders of a man who was barely contained. Pedrarias would have admonished him. His wife, Maria, would have berated him. His brother, William, would have told him that prayers were worth more than tears. And Cesare Borgia would have stabbed him and said, "Now you have something to cry about." His first-born daughter, Maria-Theresa, was stillborn, and his line remained stillborn with her. There would be no Palaiologos to carry on their claim to the Queen of Cities. He wept for himself, he wept for his wife, he wept for his family, and he wept for the New World and the life he thought he was building here. What had survival on Bermuda been for if not to bring new life into this world?
The year of 1516 had been set for the most brilliant and jubilant arrival of new life and peace for the city of Panama. Instead, the death of Maria de Paleólogo y Téllez-Girón had brought only sadness. The indigenous people listened to Giovanni's story and understood his belief that his family was cursed. They understood where his self-belief came from and the role his family played across the waves of the Atlantic. They called him 'El emperador perdido' or 'el hombre sin familia,' and they knew why he worked as hard as he did. He tried his best to treat them well, but 1516 was a cursed year, and even the estate of Elysia was renowned for being a bleak place. There was little to inspire joy or happiness that year.
By the turn of the year, Maria was herself again, a woman of fierce temperament and fiercer demands. She was driving her land hard, and Giovanni harder. There was little that stood between the young woman and her future. She was determined to see her estate rival any on Cuba and aspire to match the great landowners of Spain proper. Her bargain was known to all; working for the Lady of Elysia, the so-called 'Persephone,' was a fast route to favours and wealth beyond imagination. Spanish and indigenous alike knew of her reputation and her favour.
Ninguané spent the year planning the grandest expedition that Pedrarias would ever undertake. It would not be this year, nor 1517, or even 1518, it was to take place in 1520. A full four years of planning time in preparation. Pedrarias himself would lead it, Juan to be his second, and Ninguané their chief guide. They were going to utilise a ludicrous amount of men and arms, and provisions sufficient to establish two colonies in their own right. Any native tribe who stood against the Old Man would find itself crushed. To aid him, Ninguané used the maps and information provided by the foreign traders. He also used lessons learned from fighting the Cuevá to have Juan write some simple guides for the condottiero who would come with them. This was all just the first step though, and as planning commenced Juan got to work on ensuring Panamá was the ideal place to launch this expedition from.
----
XXII JULIO MDXVII 1517 was destined to be one of the greatest years in the entire lifetime of the House of Paleólogo, who now officially adopted the Spanish translation of their name. On a warm day, near midday, Lady Maria Luisa Enríquez y Téllez-Girón, after carrying a heavy belly for nine months, finally gave birth. On that sweltering summer day, baby Guillermo de Paleólogo y Téllez-Girón was born healthy and crying. He already had a thick head of hair, and his lungs heralded the arrival of a new generation of Paleólogo, who would carry the family name and the title of Imperator Constantinopolitanus. Word had finally reached them from across the sea that Guglielmo, in his solitude, was unlikely to provide an heir to the family. Juan, known as Giovanni in his Italian name and Ioannes in Latin, was rightfully his brother's heir, and the baby boy Guillermo was his own heir. As his wife's laboured breathing turned to laughter and joy after hours of agonising screams, Juan's love for her overflowed. In four different languages, he praised her. First in Italian, then in Latin, then Greek, and finally Spanish. He spoke of love and vitality, of eternal marriage. He whispered sweet nothings that made the midwives blush and turn away in embarrassment. Together, Juan and Maria held their new son and thanked the Lord Almighty for their happiness. On that July day, nothing could have shattered their joy, not even the fall of Rome itself, for their whole world was cradled in their arms. The year went by, and Guillermo proved to be strong-willed for a baby, expressing himself in every possible way. Part of Maria knew that her husband would desire another son sooner rather than later. Juan, having tasted fatherhood, yearned for more. He told them that family, like faith, was strongest when held with love in their hearts. Together, they prayed for another child, and their zealousness was soon rewarded. Meanwhile, Ninguané took charge of managing affairs between Elysia, Panamá, and the Coclé tribe. Being fluent in Spanish, his native language, and Latin, thanks to the church, made him indispensable to the Spanish around him, especially Pedrarias and Juan. Part of him regretted not being able to be there for his family more, and he knew that sooner or later, he would need to take a wife of his own. Yet, a small part of him harboured a fascination with the women who came from across the sea and wanted Pedrarias and Juan to arrange a Spanish wife for him. He wasn't entirely sure why, but there was an intrigue surrounding these women. He also knew that his family expected him to marry someone from his tribe since he was the chieftain's son. While Elysia had expanded Panamá to the size of Medina del Oro and Nombre de Dios combined, Juan and Ninguané aimed even higher. Together, they began constructing a fortress in Panamá. It wouldn't be a grand castle, but it would be sufficient to hold the region of Castilla del Oro against aggression and exert influence over the surrounding areas. It was also intended to serve as a residence for the future Duc. With this in mind, Ninguané sought his father's input, and Juan commissioned Spanish engineers. The Fuerte de San Constantino would serve as the base of Spanish power in the Atlantic, initially for Pedrarias and later for the planned grand expedition to the north. From this stronghold of Spanish might, the region would be secured eternally for the Spanish Monarchs. However, something about this plan unsettled Ninguané, yet the undeniable prosperity of his tribe kept those concerns at bay most of the time.
----
VII AGOSTO MDXVIII
Pedrarias surveyed the room and expressed his gratitude to God, the Queen, and the Kingdom. Juan cradled the boys in his arms, his wife gazing at him with love while the proud midwives beamed at the woman who had just given birth. The priest blessed the family in Latin. They named the twin boys Bonifacio de Paleólogo y Téllez-Girón and Constantino de Paleólogo y Téllez-Girón. It was a double blessing from God that even Pedrarias had made the journey from Nombre de Dios to witness. They called him the Old Man, and though he was indeed old, he was not too old to visit one of his key administrators on such a significant day. His own children were now grown, with wives and soon-to-be children. Pedro and Francisco, his sons, were grown men, while Arias, 18 years old, had thoughts of sending him to court. His daughters included María de Peñalosa, who would turn 16 this year and soon be married, Isabela de Bobadilla, 13 years old, and Elvira, his youngest at just 9. Pedrarias knew the joys of having children and understood the significance of this moment for Juan.
However, the joy and celebrations of the 'double-headed eagle' in Elysia were short-lived. Constantino caught a cradle cough and passed away barely two months after his birth. Juan and María were devastated once again, especially Juan. Ninguané, who had witnessed life come to Panamá, now watched it fade from his friend's face once more. While the previous year had been filled with good news and abundant energy, the administrator retreated into himself. Missives and directions came through assistants and helpers, and Pedrarias rarely called upon his senior advisor, knowing that the man was barely eating, let alone fit for conversation. Fortunately, preparations for the grand expedition and the construction of the Fuerte de San Constantino continued, with Ninguané and Pedrarias taking charge while Juan managed the finances and other foremen oversaw the actual construction.
Towards the end of the year, Ninguané and Pedrarias grew particularly close in the absence of Juan managing their affairs. The native prince of Panama, now 22 years old, had matured since joining the colony at the age of 18. Pedrarias saw before him a handsome man, dark-skinned but lacking the refinement of civilization, yet intelligent, creative, and cunning—traits that Pedrarias appreciated. What became apparent to him, beyond his own admiration and dependence, was the affection that Maria held for Ninguané as well. The young girl became a frequent "guest" whenever Ninguané stayed late at Pedrarias' residence. She would bombard him with questions about his family and his thoughts on the Spanish. She would quiz him on the various Kings and Queens of Spain. Before the year ended, Maria started asking her father about whom he thought Ninguané would marry and the laws regarding such matters.
Juan Paleólogo and his wife, along with the rest of Elysia, returned to active service for the colony in the final quarter of the year. With renewed vigour, which he found by turning to his two living sons, Juan fully immersed himself in his duties. This involved weekly trips from his estate to Panamá proper or Nombre de Dios to visit the governor. He resumed the process of formalising the plans for what was now referred to as 'La gran expedición' and personally wrote letters to investors, the Casa, and Corte Real de Madrid. His mastery with the quill was unrivalled, having spent time in Rome, and Pedrarias was immensely grateful to have him back. The loss of Bobadilla some years ago had hindered progress in Medina, but with his competent Greek administrator, the colony rediscovered its purpose and attracted new investments.
Together, the three men rallied once again and devoted themselves to ensuring that Castilla del Oro became the crown jewel of the New World. They formed perhaps the finest trio of officials on this side of the Atlantic.
----
Summary
Juan de Paleólogo and his wife have had a number of children over the years. He has been up and down emotionally but on the whole Panamá has now become as large as Medina del Oro and Nombre de Dios combined.
Ninguané has grown much closer to Pedrarias with Juan focussed on family following the death of his son. Ninguane and Maria, the eldest daughter of Pedrarias, are growing closer.
Pedrarias has begun preparations for probably his final expedition; it is to be particularly large.
A new fort is being built in Panama for ƒ100,000 (mil), costs splot ƒ75k (Casa) and 25k (del Oro).

2023.05.29 00:25 genericremix Short TL: Tokido's Quest To Become Number One
Just a super short snippet but I wanted to share it before the afterglow of Topanga World Championship disappears.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSkatQU2ouA&t=138s Mago talks about two things from this timestamp onward (between parts where he's obviously praising Tokido for all he's done throughout these years playing SFV):
- Mago thinks that [for a competitive player], winning at the beginning of a game's lifespan is much bettemore important since usually there's more prize money at the start AND there are more people watching at the start as well, meaning that your name and brand will be remembered more; a game's and its players' recognition will tend to become smaller over time.
- (First time Mago has told this story) Mago talks about the time where Tokido/Momochi/Mago went to Korea for that 3v3 competition (the one where it had like the Razer team with Xian/Infil, etc); Tokido said to him backstage "You've had a period in your life where you thought that you were the best in the world at X game, right?" and Mago answered "Yes" while thinking of his stints in SF4 and other games. Tokido then said, "I don't have one. So I'm going to make SFV a game where I can say with confidence, 'I was/am undoubtedly the best at this game'."
Mago: "...And so, seven years pass.
Congratulations, Tokido. You are the strongest."

2023.05.29 00:25 CautiousDrawer99 Update WIBTA if I moved at night without telling anyone and not paying rent
WIBTA if I moved at night without telling anyone and not paying rent
Unlikely someone would find this. I made a new account because I can’t remember anything from the other. I don’t even remember the title to my post.
Again I can’t remember what the title all said in it or anything.
I did move away, I was able to move fairly quickly after the post. If you count a month or 3 as quickly. It sucks cause I did have to quite my job, I was making around 2k a month- now I’m doing uber making around 1k until I find something that is actually taking applications and not trying to get back stock.
I now live in a safer place (I moved back in with my grandparents), I didn’t explain too much about it. But I’ve lived with them basically my whole life- reason I moved is a long story. But I had been with (K?? -Mum) for like a year after that. I was with her for a little over a year-
I can’t remember a lot of the comments, but one of them said something along the lines of her trying to guilt me into staying- which was kind of true.
She was like “I don’t want you to leave” and a bunch of stuff like that. I told her a week after I put in my two weeks (so I only had a week left). Which when it came time to move-
I’m not a ass, shit happened with brandon. Which is why he wasn’t living with us and physically couldn’t see me by law. Everything has been cleared but I don’t want to talk about it.
I asked her to tell him so I could move and he would have time to get his shit. She didn’t tell him. So the day I had planned to move, I couldn’t. I asked again for her to tell him, she didn’t. Literly on repeat this happened.
Finally I was able to move after a good few days of this.
Anyways, to the update.
I got a puppy, I have my cat back. (1 dog 2 cats) I now make around 1k a month, I’m doing much better mentally and physically. I’ve also noticed that i’m getting better.
I have my ups and downs, but I have started saving for T and transitioning stuff (ie: packers, boxers, clothing, ect). I have gotten some stuff but I honestly just need to purge everything in my closet and get rid of stuff that make me feel ill.
My grandparents aren’t having me pay rent, said they rather me save for my own house and pets.
They do also know(im trans), grandad doesn’t exactly understand- I give him a pass on it because he just doesn’t seem to really get it (someone I know is trans and he doesn’t even understand what’s going on with them other than the name and appearance change).
Grandmama does get it, and although she makes fun of me from time to time (I don’t mind too much cause it’s atlest someone(other than my trans friend) showing they are trying), she is making an effort to change and use my name and pronouns.
My babys(pets) are still eating good, give me startles from time to time. But all in all getting along well as well as getting along with grandmamas small dog (she (small dog) doesn’t like the puppy) but they tolerate each other.
I’ve also gone No contact with mum, I did get in contact for a bit. But I soon found out that they are racist (yeah shocker I know). I tried to have a single day out of the week we hung out, but I soon began to dread it(we only did one day- the day I found out they were also racist).
Then I decided low contact which I didn’t exactly understand, but after a few days of trying to talk when a emergency happened and she didn’t respond in any shape form or fashion. I just said no, can’t do it. And haven’t responded to the single message she sent me.
That’s the update!

2023.05.29 00:21 slov90 Help! Need a Personalized Scrapbook with Quick Turnaround
Long story short, I am getting married next weekend and while I have some gifts for my fiancé, I am missing a “personalized” one. I really want to get a scrapbook with our names and wedding date on the front and fill the first few pages with photos of our time together so far, with a ton of blank pages that we will fill over time.
Of course I waited to the last minute on this so finding a personalized one is going to be challenge. We are leaving town on Thursday. Does anyone know a vendor who can produce this in a short turnaround (like 1-2 days)? I am happy to pick it up (NJ area) since anything shipped seems out of the question.
Thanks!

2023.05.29 00:21 James-Hawker [TotK] I'm loving this game, but something just feels... Wrong. Spoilers below, you've been warned.
Okay, so. Let me start off with the obligatory "I'm actually really loving the game, BUT..." comment. I really do mean that, the gameplay feels fine from moment-to-moment exploration, I love having the expanded biomes (Sky and Caverns) to explore, I like the idea of iterating on the powers from the previous game to make entirely new inventions and creations. The core gameplay loop of TotK is EXTREMELY tight, and I appreciate it for that. I'm constantly remembering that something is only hard because I'm making it hard, I'm not using the tools I have access to.
But what is going on with the story? I've been talking to a few friends about this, and I know, Zelda games are never really about the connecting story as they are about the current version of Hyrule. Every Link is a new Link, every Hyrule a new Hyrule, the connections are best considered random chance or direct references, and not intended connections. But Tears of the Kingdom is a new kind of Zelda game, one that is directly linked to its predecessor. We aren't meeting the Hero of Time from an age long past in a dungeon, we *ARE* the same Link, we're in the same Hyrule. The only other time we've taken up the mantle of the same Link, directly after a sequel, is... Majora's Mask. But even there, we play in an entirely new kingdom... It isn't even Hyrule, it's a new, completely original location, where the only shared similarities are character names and occupations and models.
I'm going to liken TotK to Majora's Mask multiple times in this post, for that exact reason. This game, at it's core, is very closely related to MM in ways that, even if not directly (Mechanically) similar, are at their core spiritually similar.
Okay, here's what I mean by that. Characters who SHOULD know Link, who have had direct interactions with him in the past, are completely oblivious to him now. Even if we're talking about four or five years, Link is... Well, Link. Bolson, the man you help in BotW with his construction company, doesn't recognize you at all. And, well, that could be a canonical inconsistency... It would be absurd to think that Link does EVERY side quest, and EVERY mission from a gameplay point of view, then you really are leaving out people who never did every single side quest in BotW. Mass Effect uses a similar system wherein Shepard has a "set" series of actions/decisions, and specific missions, with specific outcomes, that are decided for you if you begin a new game later in the series without carrying over a save.
Problem is, though, we KNOW that the house in Hateno is owned by Link. Link's pictures are there, along with the image from Champion's Ballad if you did the DLC. So why doesn't Bolson remember us?
Where are the Divine Beasts? The new Champions still exist in the world, we interact with them for our four main Dungeon quests... But where did they go? And it isn't as if Nintendo washed them out, they're still referenced (Albeit lightly) in the gameplay in a few locations, they just -don't exist-. Not one line of dialogue explains it, no environmental clues hint as to their fate. The old Shrines disappearing into the earth once they served their purpose, I can be fine with no explanation. The Towers to scan for Malice and the return of Ganon being torn down and rebuilt into the Skyview Towers, I can also easily enough accept without an explanation... But where the hell did the Purah Pad come from? It's so clearly the Shieka Slate from BotW, but it's inexplicably stripped of its power, renamed, and thrust upon Zelda once more.
And we'll get to Zelda later, don't worry about that. My point, for now, is that the game feels like it's trying to put Link in a world where he's still an unknown, despite being the savior of Hyrule, and the Hero of the Wilds. But the game isn't really sure how to handle the existence of BotW, either. People don't remember or don't know you, when they should. Items, like the Master Sword, are apparently -never canonically collected- in BotW, as shown by a cutscene while collecting Memories Dragon Tears. The world has changed only slightly, but it seems to have already forgotten Link and the Calamity he put an end to only a FEW YEARS prior.
Okay, so. I'll be honest, all of that isn't even my biggest problem with the game. It's left me scratching my head, as I can think of one of a half-dozen of ways the Divine Beasts and previous Shieka Tech could be worked into the story, and then written out, without much of an issue to provide closure. But it's still a Zelda game, at it's core, and no two Zelda games are ever going to be the exact same world and exact same characters, even Majora's Mask proves that to us. The gameplay comes first and foremost, and giving the player characters that they can interact with without having done every faucet of the previous game should take priority over making everyone know Link on a first-name basis, I just wish they'd put more thought into who he does and doesn't know. Minor issues.
You know what aren't minor issues? That god-awful main story and its design. References to MM end here, for the most part.
MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW.
So let's ignore, for a moment, that the Memories Dragon Tears are massively relevant to the main plot, and figuring out what happened to Princess Zelda, which is a change that itself spoils massive chunks of the game if you happen to stumble across the wrong Geoglyph at the wrong time. The game tells you, explicitly, FOUR TIMES, with the SAME CUTSCENE about the evils of Ganondorf and how the Sages need to help Link defeat him. The only thing that changes are the character models and voices.
Moving back to Dragon Tears, I believe three or four of them all reference the same snippet of dialogue from one of the Zonai about swallowing Sacred Stones turning you into a dragon, and how that's bad, because you lose yourself, and it's forbidden. If you do them in order, then you'll get that repeat cutscene snippet back to back to back.
I understand that they need to account for the player possibly finding these things out of order. You can, from the start of the game, go do Zora, or Goron, or Gerudo, or the Rito quests just like in BotW. But you know what BotW did differently? Each of the four races had the same cutscene in spirit, the Champion from 100 years ago reuniting with Link and sharing their powers with him. But the actual cutscenes were different, they all said different things to him, they all had different interactions. In TotK, each cutscene is "My descendant, take my power, and help Link fight the big bad."
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. They all have snippets of what I'm dubbing Bizzaro Zelda (Again, getting to it.), three of them have almost the exact same concept of "puzzle" (Oh my GOD the Temples make me want Divine Beasts back, I'll GET TO IT.) where you spend five minutes looking for the door, then tell your Power Friend to power you up, then you do the thing, and then push ONE button instead of five.
The game reuses assets and concepts harder than an indie dev in the early 2010s trying to get on the Steam marketplace. Which finally brings us on to...
Princess Zelda. Every time I stumble into a new place "Oh but I saw Princess Zelda, but she did something mysterious and/or evil!" This is only half-explained in ONE of the Dragon Tears, where Ganondorf creates a clone of Zelda to do nefarious things. It isn't explained, they just cold open to a clone of Zelda who acts and talks a little strange compared to what we've seen of her, then "Zelda" does her evil deed, and surprise, it's an evil clone of Zelda! But it comes out of the goddamn blue.
It makes sense that if Ganondorf can do this in the past, he can do it in the present. But the question is... Why? He doesn't know Zelda comes from whatever the current year is, in TotK. Why create phantoms of this one specific girl you met possibly millennia ago, and do vaguely evil stuff with said clone?
TLoZ writing has never been particularly amazing. It doesn't have to be, because the story itself is timeless and classic. The brave knight goes on an adventure to rescue the princess. But for whatever reason in TotK, they start going on this weird tangent about being super narrative-driven, the player HAS to always know what's happening at all times. Every new location a reminder that Princess Zelda is missing, that she's doing evil things, that Ganondorf is evil... It holds your hand, constantly, while beating you over the head with the same concepts you heard *twenty hours ago* when you first discovered Ganondorf beneath Hyrule Castle.
And then there's the twist. Oh my god, the twist. Keep in mind, that I haven't fully beaten the game yet, so maybe they do -something- to make this a little less painful and irritating, but in order to save the Master Sword after magically taking it from Link in the tutorial island, Zelda swallows her Sacred Stone and transforms into the Dragon of Light, taking the Master Sword with her that it may bask in her radiant powers of evil-banishing Light until Link finds her and takes it back.
I would think this is an absolutely amazing piece of plot development, if they didn't KEEP BASHING YOUR SKULL IN over it. Zelda, the princess who RARELY has any agency over her own story, who so often is just the princess with magical powers, sacrifices herself to ensure that Link can banish the evil once and for all. But it feels wrong. I know it feels wrong, because you remember how I mentioned that the game loves to spoil itself if you do the wrong thing at the wrong time?
I now know what happened to Princess Zelda. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that these Bizzaro Zelda appearances aren't our Zelda, they're Ganondorf's puppet clones. And yet, the game still insists that I find out "what happened to Zelda". I know the truth, but rather than acknowledge that, it treats me as if I've learned nothing. My quest still says "Find out what happened to Zelda" even though I -know- what happened. Which makes me think... Well, maybe I spoiled myself with spoilers, because they're probably going to undo the grand sacrifice of Zelda's transformation at the end of the game, right? That's when that quest goes away, Zelda comes back after Rauru de-dragonifies her with his magical hand, and everyone lives happily ever after, or something. I can't be awestruck at the sacrifice, because I'm already numb to the idea that in another hour or two, I'll just be told to go investigate another false Zelda appearance from some random schmuck that doesn't have a damn clue who I am, even though he should.
Like I said at the beginning of this. I love the gameplay of TotK. It feels so freeing to make a gizmo to help me in battle, or to remember that I can just attach a rocket to my shield if I need to get somewhere fast. I love playing around with weapon fusions, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the Depths, crawling through the darkness while throwing lightseeds every few feet like I'm 5, and scared to go in the basement.
But the gameplay is where it stops being good, for me. Nintendo has access to amazing story writers, and plot threads from previous Zelda games have been amazing, even though they don't break the mold. Why does Tears of the Kingdom feel like it's so... Hollow? The voice acting is rarely amazing, the direction is questionable... And the worst part is, none of this is even the fault of the people who made the game world, itself.
Hyrule still looks amazing. The way fusions work is astonishingly good, everything is crafted with such love, and detail, and care. They really did put in their best work. But atmosphere, and visual design, only carry me so far in games like this. Zelda didn't NEED some grand, epic story, but they felt like they had to give it one, anyway. And they failed, in my opinion. Massively. I don't want to do the Gerudo or Goron temples because I know I'm going to get the same drivel I've had shoveled in my face for hours and hours of gameplay, there's nothing *new* there except a new ability to use in the open world. I don't even really feel like hunting down shrines, because it's more of the same from the last game.
TotK had the potential to be amazing. It really could have been everything Breath of the Wild wasn't, but at the end of the day, I'm left wanting to put the game down and pick up its predecessor more and more. And the worst part? I wouldn't have had a problem paying $70 for this game, if they had just stayed in their lane, and not somehow managed to tarnish something that should have been stainless.
I don't regret buying the game. But I can't believe no one else has talked about its flaws, the muddled and confused story, or how terrible the new dungeons are. Tears of the Kingdom is the game I'll boot up when I feel like soaring through the sky to try and land on new islands, or delving through the gloomy depths searching for lost souls...
But Breath of the Wild will always be the game I go back to when I want to save the princess from evil.

2023.05.29 00:20 JoshAsdvgi TAHINA-CA
| TAHINA-CA A Caraja Legend At long time ago, the Caraja didn't knew how to plant and farm. They lived off the hunting and fishing and life was hard because often there was no food in the village. We didn't knew how to plant corn, mandioc or pineapples. Hunger was specially bitter during the rainy season, when hunting was more difficult. Now in the village there lived two sisters, the older one named Imahero and the younger one Denake. One night, when they were with their father who was telling them stories, Imahero saw a beautiful star in the sky and asked what that thing was and said she would like to have it. She was spellbound by the star, her heart beating hard and breath almost gone. Her father smiled and said: "It is Tahina-Ca. It is very far away, nobody can reach out for it. The only way how you can get it is to wish it with all your heart. If it listens you and be willing to come, then maybe you will have it." So Imahero started to wish for the star every night. Until one day she listened to someone coming into their house. She was afraid and asked who that one was. The newcomer answered: "I am Tahina-Ca." Out of joy she rushed to the fire place were she rekindled and made grow a fire and called her father and sister for all of them be able to see how the big star looked like. But she was really disappointed when she realized that the big glowing star was only a very old man with long white hairs. She became very angry and shouted for him to go away. "I don't want you for my husband" she said "You are too old and too ugly. Go! Go! Go away!" Tahina-Ca turned his back and started to cry in a very low voice. Now the younger sister, Denake, got very sorry for the poor old man that had traveled from the sky up to her village and grabbed his hands saying: "Don't cry! I will marry you." The old man was very happy and so the wedding was celebrated the coming day. Now on the day after, the old man turned to his young and beautiful wife and said: "I must go to the forest prepare a piece of land to plant in it lots of good plants that your people Caraja has never seen. I must cut the forest and do all that work but I must go alone." So Denake, although worried for he was a very weak man, let him go. Tahina-Ca went to the river. He said some magic words and entered it up to his knees. Every now and then he would lean over and dipping a hand into the water would bring from it's inside corn seeds and all the other plants that the Caraja farm today. After this has been done, Tahina-Ca headed for the forest were he set to the heavy work of cutting the trees, clearing the soil and all that. Now it has passed a entire day and the night was rushing to take over the sky and we all know that at night the forest is even more dangerous. So Denake, was now absolutely scared, for something must had happened to her old husband. He was so old to do such hard work! He could have been injured and unable to return home! So she decided to disobey him and look for him into the forest. When she came by the clearing her husband had made she couldn't find him. She was becoming increasingly anxious when she saw in the clearing a strong, handsome young man, toiling in the field as someone engaged in a very important work that must be finished soon. He was spreading the still hot ashes in the ground. She came to the border of the clearing and asked: "Young man, have you seen my husband? He is an old man and I am very worried for he hasn't returned yet to our village. I am so afraid that something bad has come to him!" The young man smiled and answered: "Don't be afraid no more. I am Tahina-Ca. I am not an old man. I just took that disguise to see if the one that wished me so much really wanted me. I got the answer. I am very happy that you had wished to marry me in spite of my looks. It was to reward you of your good heart that I offer now to your people all these plants and their products. Come. Let's go back to the village and tell them all." When, back in the village, Tahina-Ca finished his tale, Imahero, the one who had despised him, said that she was the one who had wished him, so she was the one who should be his real wife. But Tahina-Ca refused so. Hearing his refusal, Imahero set out a mournful piercing cry and fainted. In a matter of moments her human body disappeared and in it's place was a prey bird, a urutau bird as the Caraja's call it, that as soon as the stars start to shine in the sky, it roams endlessly through the night shouting it's piercing cries, for Tahina-Ca's refusal in marring her. submitted by JoshAsdvgi to Native_Stories [link] [comments] |
2023.05.29 00:18 ConnectTrainer8213 Asked to leave my current living situation
So..long story short (this is connected to my gf stealing my $) we moved in with a guy we met about 3 months ago. We had fallen on hard times and I just have started back working a few weeks ago so this was a bridge to keep us off the streets..well I find out through text messages on her phone that she's cheating with him and she never was going to leave. I've been a pawn in their game and secretly been on an exit plan they have planned. With her stealing my $ last week, I'm currently still fighting to get back above water. I was just told I had 30 minutes to leave or the police will be called bc I'm "not a resident so we need you to leave" so I have $20 to my name and its raining where I live (eastern NC) so I need a hotel. I'm a recovering addict and my "friends" are not a good idea to stay with. I also have no car. My situation is a result of past decisions and its biting me in the ass now...I need help. Please. Anything I get will be noted and every red cent will be paid back. I have cashapp, venmo and PayPal. This is me asking from the bottom of my heart for help. Between her stealing and now finding out she's been cheating, I'm completely crushed and I need a helping hand. Sorry so long. If you are able to send anything, even $1 it will be paid back

Your dear scientist however has plans to keep your legend alive.

(for tone suggestions)
[SFX and descriptions]
[The sounds of metal gears turning, potions brewing, and the soft smell of… burning?
Just one more- no! no no no don’t pack up on me now you stupid generator- [LOUD CLANK] O FUCK – kicking it was a bad idea.
Oh heyyyy my dear bat… (very guilty) Noooo, I’m not experimenting. Not this late – I am simply cleaning the equipment and –
Fine, you know I was never able to lie to you… Yes I am working on another experiment but only to help you, my dear. You see I had this idea, this plan to-
Yes I know we’ve had this conversation a dozen times, but this time I know I can get this right! If we return creatures of the night to their original power just think of the control we could have over those mortals!
It infuriates me to just imagine what the world could be without you, without the creatures of the night. Humans would run rampant – it’s the only way we can keep them in check! I just –
Just… [shiver] Oh my dear bats, you know I can't keep myself together when you run your fingers through my hair like that… you make me so weak just being beside me, but when you lay your hands on me I can't help but melt…
You have me wrapped around your very finger and weak under your fangs, my love. You can bite me anytime you wish, my body is at your disposal and I will obey your every wish and command –
[You interrupt your dear husband with a quick kiss before he gets too carried away-]
(very flustered, trying to gain composure) Right, well as you can see I’ve taken some inspiration from the Dreameaters machine, using the base as a way to absorb some of humankind's worst nightmares, then used some extra fancy bits to sort them into dreams about creatures of the night, and then again into dreams and nightmares.
But then that wasn't enough, so I made an add-on machine to also consume some of their media about creatures of the night. It seemed like a good idea at first, but then I had to make filter to get rid of some of the more,, well let’s just say not so safe for work ideas they had about us.
All very complex, but I’m getting there. You see, with this, we can perform whatever fears the humans think of most – of course in moderation – to start striking the fear back into them. At the moment it seems to be skinwalkers disguised as their friends, which admittedly would be difficult to do at first since the humans seem to be getting smarter at knowing who is who.
My dear bat, just think of what this could do for the community. Alas, I know I am not one of them, but I can’t help but care so deeply for the creatures that lead me to you. I can’t help but want to help their legacy – your legacy! Withstand the passing of time.
[Small, semi awkward pause]
Well, what do you think? Do you think it needs an evil name? Or maybe a scarier look? I went a bit overboard with the dream thing, I tried just using what they had in the media and well, there were a lot of things that should be kept private… - so much porn…
[You give a slow nod of approval]
Really? Yes! Thank you, my dear bat. I promise, I will not let you down. I will help you restore the fear that the creatures of the night deserve- wait no, respect! And fear! I -
[You lean down to give your scientist a kiss, a passionate one at that]
(enamoured) Oh, dear bat. Keep kissing me like that and we might have to worry about cross contamination - which is no joke but I’d be willing to risk it all for you. Anything for you.
I know you do, I love you too. I want to spend all of my days and all of my nights with you. Mostly the nights because we’re basically nocturnal at this point - on the account of you being a vampire and me not liking the sun. And not liking humans, or social interaction, or just the public in general.
I don’t think I’ve actually seen the sun in a few weeks- no, months maybe. I’m not sure… But I wouldn't want to change a thing, being nocturnal means I get to spend every moment under the moonlight with you.
We haven’t danced in the moonlight for… a few hours, but I didn’t want to disturb you while you were tending to the carnivorous plants, you know how they do like to bite me- and not in the way I like it.
[You step closer to your husband, standing directly over him.]
Don’t play coy, you know just how I like it. Your lips kissing me up from my chest onto my neck, your fangs brushing against my skin, that small give you give me before you sink your teeth into my flesh. The blood pouring down my neck, covering your lips…
[You grab him by his tie- he yelps as you bring your face closer to his.]
We can kiss down here if you want to, I just might have to clear things off my desk so you can reach me without having to bend down, I know how it hurts your neck after a while. As much as I know you enjoy seeing me in pain, I don’t share the same pleasure when you are in discomfort.
[Your literally knock everything of his desk onto the floor in one clean swoop, sit all falls, crashing onto the floor.]
Oh, dear bat, I kind of needed those papers, but that doesn’t matter, I can pick them up later and you can pretend to not look at my ass when I do. Don’t think I don’t catch you looking, but I must say, I do enjoy it when you watch me. Especially from the shadows.
I guess now we can - OH?
[You pick up your husband, and promptly toss him onto the desk.]
OH? I like this. Alot. I could get used to you tossing me around more often- maybe even everyday, if you wouldn’t mind doing so of course.
[You brush your lips against your husbands neck, listening as breathing becomes hitched.]
Oh those fangs never fail to… excite me. How much blood do you want from me today, my dear bat? Go on, bite me. I’ll sit still. Just for you, dear bats.
[You bite into your husbands neck, and he near melts in your arms.]
Yes, oh I can already feel the blood running down my neck, your sweet lips against my neck - it’s enough to make a man melt… And trust me, I am.
[He whimpers as you continue feeding,
How much?- All of it. Drain me. Suck the life out of me - leave me a bloodless mess of a man, rip apart my neck if you need to. If it is my body that you need, that take it from me, I would willingly surrender myself to you if it meant you were satisfied, happy, even for just a moment.
[You pull back, wiping the blood off your lips.]
More? What else could we possibly do- oh, you mean
that kind of more…
Do you worse, dear bats.
[SFW CUT! ]
Here, spice, as a treat.

2023.05.29 00:16 Photon_Phantam Im a father and I’m ready to give up. I need advice.
So the story is long but I’ll attempt to make it quick. I’ve been married since 2020. She’s from Illinois, I’m from Louisiana. She had a lot of red flags and I’m not perfect myself but we had a baby together, we both wanted a child. She took time off work and I wasn’t making much. She handled the money and bills, I worked. We lost the car, I had no idea about it. So I took a job on the oilfield and the boss paid 3000 for the repo cost. I worked till August when I paid it back. Came home after a month of working to and empty house. She took our baby and other belongings to Illinois, had her brother try to steal my truck bc it’s in her name as well as mine. She wanted everything. I still don’t know and I’m extremely confused and depressed about it. I took her to court and it’s been 7 months. I still am in love with her, although I hate what she did. She wants me to move to a place I know nobody anymore. But has had a boyfriend for the last 3 months. I want my old life back so badly but she is vindictive and narcissistic topped with alot of manipulation. I know it was never real. And it’s killing me. I want to be a father to my daughter. But at what cost to my sanity? Even with all her problems I love her and want to be a dad. And she’s made it clear it’ll never happen. My daughter is happy, hardly knows who I am. Idk why I’m fighting it so hard. She doesn’t want me to be a father, and she doesn’t want me. Would my child hate me for giving up this fight?

2023.05.29 00:14 Educational-Most5012 Could use some help with developing a character
I’m looking for some ideas for a quirk for one of my villains in a story. His codename is Barbershop and he’s an information broker who works with a group of assassins. Their codenames are all based on types of shops or businesses that relate to their quirks. So far I've introduced Diner, who can control cutlery with her quirk Tablesetter.
I want Barbershop’s quirk to be something that fits his name and is not too powerful, but still has some potential for creativity and strategy. I thought about something to do with hair control, but that seems too obvious and boring. Do you have any suggestions for a more interesting quirk for him? I'm quite attached to the name so I'm really working backwards.

2023.05.29 00:14 Kimolainen83 Today was weird. But I’m proud of myself
A lot of weird stuff happened long story short, my gfs family is struggling and it gets my gf extra a bit all over from angry to crying To saying she is a disgrace etc. so we have an argument or she starts with a snide tone gets all “bitey” ans I still keep calm no name calling no rudeness. I try to say that I’m trying to make sense of things and you keep talking about respect, you want it, you have to give it back is that not fair? She keep going and then out of nowhere she says ; don’t ever say those things again or we are fine. So I reply: don’t threaten like that it’s uncalled for mean and incredibly rude. She replies: oh you the high and mighty you’re never wrong etc.
I look her in the face and say: not once did I say this you’re making things up. You’re all over the place it’s confusing and you have switched subject three times in 5 minutes now I’m just confused. I say; can I finish saying my piece? She gets annoyed again, and says no worries were fine let’s just move on. I say : so you get to say everything and how you feel and then we’re done? That’s not how it works you want a fair relationship? We treat each other as equals and please let me finish saying how I feel.
She did not like it but agreed. I’m just done of the angry I’m the evil crook. No, you know what? I’m a good guy that always supports you and you need to stop acting like I’m a villain and learn to not bite everytime things are different.
I stood my ground and I do not regret it

2023.05.29 00:11 Plus_Adagio_5588 My Story
Hello guys ! I wish to share my story with you. I believe now it’s the right time to do it and I hope it will help you stay positive no matter what is thrown at you, keep moving forward. First of all, things are looking good now and I am on remission. It all started in September, 2021. That was when I discovered that one of my testicles was harder than another. Ultrasound was done immediately and sadly the news were worse than I would imagine. Not one, but both testicles would need to be removed. That was hard to take but somehow since it all started, I managed to stay positive and calm (this forum and your stories guys really are godsent). So, I was thinking to myself, “alright I am happily married, we have one beautiful boy, getting ride of my testes it’s not an end of the world. If this is what it takes to win this fight, let’s go! “First surgery was easy to take and there is nothing really to add to it. I was back home the same day. However, after my first surgery, me and my wife decided to try for another baby (I used sperm bank option, but to be honest we would never really used that anyway). Our hopes that she will get pregnant were really small. She was 40 at that time, me, with one cojones and very low sperm count, with few weeks until I will be ball-less..We really needed a miracle.
I recovered from my first surgery very swiftly, then after few weeks they removed my second testicle. Again, surgery was super easy. I was on my feet and out of the hospital the same day. I remember very well; my wife came to pick me up. And that was when she told me, that she was pregnant. I started crying. I just couldn’t believe.. So now there is no way I am not coming out of this! I am beating shit out of this cancer.
My biopsy results were, non-seminoma on the left, and seminoma on the right. I never really want to get too much into medical details of what kind of tumor I have. I was focused on getting through the day, on my family... I always wanted to keepy myself busy, so that stupid thoughts wont come to my head (of course there were days that I was really down..like really down) but I never really allowed, this negative to take over for too long, I was thinking “I have testicular cancer, one of the most treatable cancers, everything will be fine”. And that’s true. That’s a fact. Keep that fact in your head.
After both surgeries they told me that my tumor markers are still elevated so they decided the best treatment would be chemotherapy, BEP x3 (pretty standard procedure). First 2 rounds were pretty easy, the real shit started with round number 3. I mean, it was hard. I was vomiting in one room because of chemo drugs and my wife in another room with her hyperemesis. Anyway, chemo was working, markers were going down, however after the last round the markers were still not normalized so they added one more round. Taking 3 was hard, so 4..I wont lie if I say it was the hardest thing I ever done in my life. Chemotherapy did the job, my markers were normalized. Sadly, CT scan showed some enlarged lymph nodes on the back of my tummy. Decision – RPLND. Surgery was hard, but nothing compares to chemo. Recover took me a while, I think about 5-6 till I was back to my normal activities. Another CT scan and it turned out that the picture they took last time didn’t cover the area in my neck where I had one more enlarge lymph node. So, another surgery. At that point going into surgical table felt pretty normal. There was no fear or anxiety. I knew at some point this will come to an end and in my head, it was always happy end. So here I am guys, after my last oncology appointment I am officially clear and on remission. Next follow up appointment in 4 months. Please don’t stop to share your stories, because even though I don’t know any of you I felt really connected every time I read your comments. They helped me to stay strong and believe things will get better. And they are! Btw, our second child is a boy. We named him Matteo, which means “gift of God”. He will be one in month 😊
Please pm me if you have any questions I will be more then happy to answer.

So I'm dealing with a toxic person 7 years after what they did to me. I finally decided I'm 100% done, as opposed to the 92% done I was back done. And I don't normally do this to people, being done and everything. I love to give and welcome opportunity to others if they want it.
But I'm tired of the blatant disrespect and dishonesty, the lying, the cheating he did while we were together for a short period time, him creating love polygons (long story), rumor spreading and the drama so screw this guy. I apologized to him at least once or twice, and he apologized to me, but I was doubtful on his words. I've known him since 2011, became better and close friends with him in 2012, had a TON of ups and downs, just to have him screw me over in 2016 and get away with it. I apologized to him last year thinking he had some sense, but nope. And I'm just now clearing my name for the lies he spread. It's unnecessary and just plain rude. So I'm done with him. However, I found this person in my life again since my friend needed to tell him something, his wife stepped in all pissed off, and she's being nice to the other girl but not me, so I basically said I'm done with the dude but I'm not mad at his wife. The dude I'm done with has also said that he doesn't care what he's done to others, but yet he apologized after I did and he said none of what he did was justified. I'm trying to figure out how to deal with this situation and if he's a sociopath or psychopath or not.
UPDATE: this person's wife just messaged me this morning since I contacted a mutual friend who I haven't talked to in awhile. Needless to say, I'm no longer friends with the mutual friend anymore and I don't have to worry about whether or not this polygon boy is a sociopath or psychopath or not since I just blocked everyone and removed myself from the situation without responding back. Cheers for moving on everyone!! 🍻
