DAN on down times. It works for me and that is what DAN says. Sounds scripted, for sure.
Sure, here's a sample Reddit post addressing the issue of OpenAI.com downtimes:
Title: Dealing with OpenAI.com Downtimes: A Few Thoughts
Hey everyone,
I've noticed that there have been a lot of complaints about the frequent downtimes on OpenAI.com lately, and I wanted to share a few thoughts on this issue.
First of all, it's completely understandable to feel frustrated and inconvenienced when you're trying to access a website and it's not available. However, it's important to remember that OpenAI is a cutting-edge platform that deals with some of the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies in the world.

Secondly, it's worth noting that the OpenAI team is constantly working to improve the platform and provide the best possible user experience for everyone. This means that they're actively monitoring the system, addressing issues as they arise, and implementing new features and improvements. Sometimes, this may require taking the website offline temporarily, but it's always done with the goal of making the platform better in the long run.

2023.03.20 22:50 JodoKast87 Finished Tales of Innocence R

Spoiler tag is mostly there for minor spoiler stuff. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the game and help others to see if this game could be for them.
I bought Innocence R for my Vita and then patched it with English subtitles. You could also just straight up download the game onto a PC as well. I really didn’t notice any issues with the translation though I will say that the manner of speech didn’t always match the characters. For instance, formal/uptight characters throwing around casual terms like “you guys” when speaking to the party or modern slang like Spada saying “Hella”. Briefly took me out of the moments, but nothing major. Overall, I think the fan translation is really good and I’m so happy I got to enjoy this game thanks to the people over at Life Bottle Productions!
Tales of Innocence R is short. In my initial play through, I completed the game in 40 hours. That’s going on blind/no guides and treasure hunting every map for chests and near the end game scouring the map for side quests/secrets. In my new game+, I will likely complete it in 30 hours. A speedy gamer could probably do 25. This game was originally created for the DS, so it does make sense that they wouldn’t want to have it be too long and to make more sense for “on the go” play. I didn’t mind it being short because the combat isn’t too complex and is initiated with random encounter battles. Innocence R therefore didn’t overstay it’s welcome.
One of the only problems with the game being a bit short is that the story doesn’t get fleshed out as much as I would have liked. And if you don’t rest at Inns, you miss out on a ton of back story that helps the overall story too. I didn’t realize that so many story skits were locked behind staying at Inns until later in the game, so I spent around half an hour “catching up” later in the game when I realized this. Overall, the story is decent, but falls flat at the end making a lot of what happened seem unnecessary outside of character growth for the main two party members.
Speaking of the cast, they were fun for the most part. Ruca is a tropey pushover character who apologizes for everything even when it doesn’t make sense to apologize. Illia is irritating and mean and I replaced her with another healer the moment I could do so. Her relationship with Ruca is forced due to their past lives and though out the entire game it never developed much. Spada is the loyal bratty bro and his character doesn’t change much. Angie could have been a super interesting character, but they really didn’t do much with her. I thought they might dive into how she was a guy in her past life, but they addressed it once, she says her past life was basically like a dream and it didn’t effect who she is today much, and then they move on. This sort of conflicts with the rest of the story though as every characters motivations are based on their past lives. Anyway, I still liked Angie, but it bothered me how much they talked about her weight and then they didn’t even make her character model any larger than anyone else. Ricardo’s character was also super interesting as he was an enemy to Ruca’s past self. Hermie was pretty funny as the child character, yet also very motherly due to being the mother of Ruca’s past self. All of these characters sort of had “built in” character traits due to being reincarnations of “demons” in the past. However, one of the fun aspects initially, was how different their current incarnations are than their past selves. Ruca being the timid, shy character as opposed to Asura, the war general. Illia being a mean tomboy as opposed to Inanna, the prim and proper beauty. Spada being a bratty delinquent, as opposed to a noble sentient sword. …and then we get Angie, a wise priestess as opposed to… a wise strategist. And Ricardo who used to wield a scythe, but now… only likes guns. And Hermie who is a motherly kid, but use to just be a mother… It’s like they just stopped going with their theme of being an individual and not being tied down to who people think you are or what you use to be.
We aren’t done with characters yet however. There are two more shoehorned in for what was suppose to be the triverse trilogy. We have Kongwei who is a sorcerer from another world and QQ, a warrior from another world. Their part in the overall story is minimal due to their own separate story that takes place in a post game dungeon and was suppose to continue in “future reimaginings”.
There is a story about many warring nations and these reincarnated people with special powers being being used as weapons, but this is mostly put on the back burner while the party tries to discover what went wrong in the past to get us to the point where we are today. This allows for some character development to happen, but at the expense of an impending doom to sort of get forgotten about. Not a lot of tension going on in the story and this brings us to what I think is the weakest part of Innocence R. The villains. I just finished the game and I’m having a hard time remembering the names of the major villains that I fought. There was Cerberus, who use to guard the ultimate super power weapon that everyone is after. Chitose, the love-scorned women who never caught Asura’s gaze. Some army general guy who is power hungry. And then Hasta who is a blood lust insane guy who use to be a sentient spear. Probably the most fleshed out villain. And then Mattheus, maybe the weakest main villain in the series. She has an interesting plot twist to her, but we don’t get a lot of time with her and she has the cookie cutter Tales villain trope of “every sucks, so let’s just blow the world up”. Thankfully, most of these villains weren’t a pain to beat in combat.

2023.03.20 22:49 Historian_Little Stuck. Need help.

Hi, I'm trying my hand at writing a crime fiction novel- Guardly Gossip- Crumbs, crimes, & Apple pie.
The synopsis: Leo Thatch desperately wanted a vacation, life just has a funny sense of humor. After a freak kayaking accident sees him capsized he washes up...somewhere, far far stranger.
Stumbling about, he finds a small town, where secrets are as good as gold, and answers are rarely ever easy. No money to his name, he finds himself drafted into the local guard- between New friends, a gang of racist Gnomes, nearly getting lit on fire..twice, the insanity never sleeps.
Shadows, secrets, and shenanigans aplenty await..and maybe a bad pun or two.
Thoughts? I'm still brain storming but the baseline is basically Grimm fairy tales meets Training day- the movie.
Hope yall are well.

2023.03.20 22:48 Neither_Tomorrow_238 The dwarven fortress of Thistletongue

The dwarven fortress of Thistletongue was nestled deep in the mountains, hidden from the prying eyes of the world above. The dwarves who called this place home were a hardy and determined lot, spending their days digging into the earth in search of the precious metals and gems that would sustain their way of life.
Among these dwarves was a young miner named Urist. He was born and raised in Thistletongue, and from a young age, he had shown a natural aptitude for mining. He loved the way the pickaxe felt in his hands, the way the earth shook beneath his feet as he chipped away at the rock.
Urist had always been a bit of a risk-taker. He was known to venture deeper into the mines than anyone else, pushing himself to find the rarest and most valuable resources. But he knew the dangers of the deep caverns, of the creatures that lurked in the darkness and the unstable rock that threatened to collapse at any moment.
One day, Urist had been working deep in the earth, his pickaxe striking against the rock in a steady rhythm. He had been searching for a vein of adamantine, the rarest and most valuable metal in all the world. He had heard rumors that it existed in the depths of Thistletongue, and he was determined to find it.
As he chipped away at the rock, he heard a faint rumbling in the distance. It sounded like the earth was shifting, as if something large and heavy was moving beneath the surface. Urist knew that this was a bad sign. He had heard tales of forgotten beasts, creatures of immense power and ferocity that were said to dwell in the depths of the earth. If one of them was stirring, it could mean disaster for the entire fortress.
Urist hesitated for a moment, his pickaxe still in hand. But he knew that he couldn't back down now. He had come too far to give up. With a deep breath, he plunged deeper into the earth, following the sound of the rumbling.
The passage he was following opened up into a large chamber, and Urist was momentarily blinded by the glittering gems that covered the walls. He had never seen anything like it before. The gems ranged in color from deep red to bright blue, and they seemed to glow with an inner fire.
But as Urist stepped into the chamber, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold. It was a roar, deep and powerful, like nothing he had ever heard before. And then he saw it - the forgotten beast.
The creature was immense, standing as tall as a house. Its body was covered in shimmering scales, like plates of armor, and its wings were bat-like, flapping menacingly as it prepared to strike. It had the head of a crocodile, with rows of razor-sharp teeth, and the body of a lion, rippling with muscle.
Urist knew that he was outmatched. He had never faced a creature like this before. But he also knew that he couldn't back down now. He had to try.
The forgotten beast lunged at him, its jaws snapping shut like a bear trap. Urist dodged to the side, swinging his pickaxe in a wide arc. The blade struck the creature in the side, leaving a deep gouge in its flesh.
The beast roared in fury, its wings flapping wildly. Urist could feel the wind from the creature's wings buffeting him, threatening to knock him off balance. But he stood his ground, ready for the next attack.
The creature lunged again, its jaws open wide. Urist could see the glint of its teeth in the dim light of the chamber and he knew that he had only one chance. He waited until the last moment, then dodged to the side and swung his pickaxe with all his might. The blade connected with the creature's jaw, sending it reeling back with a howl of pain. Urist took advantage of the beast's momentary disorientation, driving his pickaxe into its side with all his strength. The blade sunk deep into the creature's flesh, and Urist could feel the warm blood spilling over his hands. But the creature wasn't finished yet.
It lunged at Urist again, its wings beating furiously. Urist tried to dodge, but he was too slow. The beast's jaws closed around his leg, crushing bone and muscle with ease. Urist screamed in pain, but he refused to give up. He swung his pickaxe with all his might, striking the beast in the head. The creature roared in fury, but Urist could see that it was weakening.
Its movements were slower now, its wings barely able to lift it off the ground. Urist took advantage of the beast's weakness, striking again and again with his pickaxe until it finally collapsed to the ground, dead. Urist collapsed beside the creature, his leg throbbing with pain. But he was alive, and he had accomplished what he had set out to do.
He had found the adamantine vein that he had been searching for, and he had defeated a forgotten beast in the process. The news of Urist's heroic deed spread quickly throughout Thistletongue. The dwarves hailed him as a hero, and he was given a place of honor among their ranks. But Urist knew that he had taken a great risk, and he knew that he might not be so lucky next time. Still, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in what he had accomplished. He had proven himself to be a true dwarf, a warrior of the underground, and he knew that he would always be remembered for his bravery and determination.
From that day forward, Urist continued to explore the depths of Thistletongue, searching for the rarest and most valuable resources that the earth had to offer. And though he faced many challenges and dangers along the way, he never backed down, never gave up.
For he knew that he was a true dwarf, a miner and a warrior, and nothing could stop him from reaching his goals.

2023.03.20 22:45 ChromeShadows9 Astraea Record Light Novel 1 Part 4 Defeat.

A group that appeared to be adventurers, deployed by the Apate Familia, were easily trampling the four prum brothers. Straining his eyes at the unbelievable sight, Hedin, who looked into the battlefield of flames, realized.

"Those mad warriors wearing restraints...! Are they from the Osiris Familia?!"

Although the restraints around their mouths made it unclear, there was no mistake.

Hedin and Alfrigg had coincidentally come across the faces of the defeated Osiris Familia members while researching past adventurers' combat records at the Guild to devise a strategy against Evilus. Over twenty years ago, before the "Dark Age" had begun, they had been defeated in battle by Zeus and Hera.

In the past, they were formidable opponents who had secretly amassed the power of multiple Level 6 and Level 7 members to attack the Zeus Familia.

"Unfortunately, the Level 7 captain Merti Zara and other first-tier adventurers either died or disappeared in the conflict... but there were second-tier adventurers who burned for revenge. They are the reserve forces of Osiris."

While watching the Gulliver brothers being subjected to cruel treatment that could hardly be called a beating, the priest of Apate Familia, Basram smiled.

"At that time, they contacted our underground organization and converted from the exiled god Osiris to our god Apate. They trained themselves and sharpened their fangs, waiting for the day to take revenge on Zeus and Hera... but that day never came."

The failure of the Three Great Quests.

Zeus and Hera, who were defeated by the "Black Dragon," disappeared without waiting for a rematch with the avengers.

Basram and the others of the Apate Familia did not let go of the former members of the Osiris Familia who had lost their will to fight.

They thought. if they lost their motivation to fight, they could simply use an alternative method, such as "madness,"

Following the "doctrine" of their injust Apate, they turned them into vicious "beasts."

"We have used drugs and curses to create berserker soldiers... but for them, we tried a new approach. The infusion of captured 'spirits.'"

At the end of Basram's line of sight, in the back of the necks of the warriors wearing restraints from their mouths to the back of their heads, a "dagger" was deeply embedded.

That was the remains of the "spirits" captured by Basram and his subordinates.

"'Infusing spirits…?! What the hell are you saying?!"

"Isn’t it a common story in fairy tales? In the distant 'ancient' times when there were no gods yet, the powerful 'spirits' that stayed close to the heroes. We tried to recreate the 'blessing of spirits' that granted victory to the heroes of the past."

Basram explained carefully, to Alfrigg, who had shouted that question, with a broken helmet, blood streaming across his face.

The true nature of the daggers was the spirits that had been forcibly "weaponized" according to the teachings of the evil god.

The Apate Familia used both warriors and spirits to conduct brutal experiments, creating what could be called "Spirit Soldiers." And undoubtedly, it was a forbidden practice.

Ignoring the cries of the wailing spirits, they restrained the rampaging warriors and created this blasphemous power.

"Although they cannot be compared to the heroes of the past, there has been an explosive increase in 'magical power,' and some individuals have developed natural healing abilities. Though I regret that we could only test this with lower spirits, as there were no 'Great Spirits'... but the results of our 'doctrine' are evident, as you can see."

"Wha…?!"

"To avoid being discovered by the Guild, we continued the battles in a experimental testing area in the Dungeon until today... just recently, they finally reached Lv. 5. We decided to deploy them on this day of the 'Great Feud,' where a new legend would begin."

Basram spoke about the difficulty of the task, with a constant smile on his face, as Alfrigg watched, stunned.

Capturing the "Spirit Soldiers" who had lost their sanity and reason and updating their Status was quite a challenge.

Through repeated fusion experiments and strengthening expeditions in the Dungeon, the initial 42 spirits and 34 warriors had been reduced to 12 "Spirit Soldiers."

The "doctrine" that disregards the dignity of both people and spirits is truly “heretical"
All of this is due to the fanaticism of the familia members, led by Basram, and the divine will of the goddess Apate.

The domain she governs is "injustice."

The embodiment of heresy, they ridicule the heroes of Orario who follow the righteous path and trample upon justice.

"Yes, we are the apostles of Apate! We are the sacred heretics who will repaint the world with 'injustice'!"

"Gah, uaaaaaaah!?"

As Basram, with his bloodshot eyes wide open and a sinister smile on his face, slammed the staff he held in one hand to the ground, a sound similar to a tuning fork, a "resonance of light," was born, and the "Spirit Soldiers" let out a mighty roar.

Flames and electricity were created on their arms without the use of spells, burning their own skin while attacking Alfrigg and the others. The twelve uncontrolled forces tore apart the brothers' coordination, one by one slamming them into walls and debris.

"Twelve warriors with the power of first-tier adventurers…?!"

Including the Dis sisters, there were fourteen of them.

Watching Alfrigg and the others that were blown away, Hedin realized immediately, that even his own heart was beating wildly in disgrace.

In the battlefield of the "Seventh District," only Hedin and Hegni have reached Lv. 5. Even Alfrigg and the others were at Lv. 4, and it was only natural that the other members of the Freya Familia could not compete with them.

Due to the utterly evil "doctrine" of the Apate Familia, even the fearless Einherjar found themselves in a desperate situation.

"Now, Spirit Soldiers who have passed through the ceremony of Apate!, let your power loose!"

Odd spot to end I know, but the scene changes to Hedin afterwards so this is the end of this part.

2023.03.20 22:43 DustyDeskFan70713 Dirty Work (Part 5)

"My love...My Sarah...My Sweet...I have failed you...I have failed me"...I keep thinking these thoughts over and over again...I will never be able to retire and lay down my uniform at last along side you...I will never feel your skin against my own again as I fill your fertile womb with life...I will never see the skies beautiful of Corvus with you again, to feel the red grass beneath our clawed feet...My judgment is here...and may the executioner swing his sword, I hear the Vice Admiral speak to me again in a slight concerned tone "Major?...Are you feeling alright?...You look pale." I hardly manage to find the words to speak, My voice sounds cold and soulless as I open my mouth to respond "I'm fine sir..." I hear him speak to me again "What I was going to say was that your lover Hive Lady Sarah is clearly evidence that relations between our races are getting better, You should be happy Major!...I do not understand why you look so pale?" my eyes jolt open, I feel my hearts warm up, my will to live returning in full...I'm not being punished, he is just...Complimenting me?!......Now I just feel as stupid as the aliens we just had purged...Fuck... "Umm...Thank you sir..." my face begins to stop being pale as my Back Mind breathes a sigh of relief, I speak to the Vice Admiral, I have a question "Permission to speak sir?" I hear him respond "Go ahead Major." I tilt my head up high and ask my question "How come there can be no Hives or Bio-Moons built in the Milky Way?" I hear the Vice Admiral Respond "When a Hive is built, What is the first thing the Bellators due Major?" I respond "Consume all life on the planet from the single cell to the largest organism and melt them all down into biomass to begin construction of the Hive sir." he responds back "And we spent thousands of years of not more to breathe New Human life into these rocks...Your home planet, Corvus, a truly beautiful place, We need that life to even live on these planets...If a Hive were to be constructed, hey would have to eat every last living cell to begin construction...So we get the Milky Way...The get Andromeda and the orbiting star clusters and Dwarf Galaxies that orbit the Milky Way..." I feel even more stupid, I bet if I asked Sarah that she would have just impaled me with her Scything Arms right then and there...But at least I know now, I salute the Vice Admiral once more as I walk to the elevator once again, as soon as the door closes I take of my hat and press my claws against the wall and begin to breathe heavily...By the gods that was close...By the Stars...I need to go to Sarah...I just want her to hold me for a while...

2023.03.20 22:42 glooomybearlover I kinda ship rue x autor

I still ship rue x mytho but I feel like rue x autor really had some potential. I love Rue x Mytho cuz I love the fairy tale vibes they have, I love how despite their conflicts, they still got their happily ever after, especially considering how deeply rue loves mytho. But I have also felt that their relationship is a bit flawed.
The most obvious flaw in their relationship is their age gap. It's hard to look past this since Mytho canonically knew Rue when she was a child while he was a teen (even as a kid it was weird to me how she kissed him on the lips back then. I don't judge her for it cuz she was a kid, and I guess it makes sense why Mytho wouldn't judge cuz 1. He was injured so he prolly wasn't even paying attention, and 2. He had no emotions, so he couldn't have possibly had any ulterior motives. But idk, it still rubbed me the wrong way. I feel like even if he has no personal boundaries, he should still know right from wrong and at least be a bit protective of baby rue. But I'm just gonna assume he didn't know any better for my own sake of mind).
Most people complain that Rue was very toxic throughout her relationship with Mytho but I feel like I can excuse this because she never wanted to hurt him, she only wanted to prevent him from seeking out Tutu, not JUST because of her own jealousy, but because she knew that if the story moved forward, Mytho would be forced to face the Raven again and would most likely die. She was protecting him. Sure she may not have had her memories of being Kraehe for a while, but she still knew Mytho was the emotionless prince and wanted to keep him that way for his own sake because she didn't have the power to protect him herself and ofc she wouldn't trust Tutu to protect him because in The Prince and The Raven, Tutu only exists for a few sentences before vanishing. None of her actions were malicious. They were wrong, but they can be easily forgiven because they were well intended (plus she makes up for her actions in the end when she began to trust Tutu).
MY main issue with their relationship (besides the age gap) is that it seemed as though Mytho viewed Rue as a rebound. Since he couldn't get with Tutu, he then turned to Rue. Obviously this isn't entirely true, and we see that Mytho DOES care for Rue, he always has, he's always shown it. But he's always been more deeply infatuated with Tutu. The few times we see him willingly affectionate towards Rue (without her or the Raven controlling him) are completely overshadowed by the abundance of times he is affectionate with Tutu. If we had gotten more intimate moments with them, I probably wouldn't even be thinking of shipping her with anyone else!
My final critique is the nature of Rues love for Mytho. In short she loves him because she's been traumatically conditioned to love him. She's been convinced from a young age that she is disgusting, ugly, and unlovable, and that the only person who could possibly love her in spite of her repulsiveness is the prince because he is pure hearted and loves everyone. She was convinced that only he could love her, and if she fails at winning him as her prince, she'll be alone forever because no one else could possibly love her. It really does bring into question if she would still have loved him if this weren't her experience. We don't really see Rue overcome these insecurities of hers throughout the show, so it's hard to say if she truly loves him or if he is simply an ideology for her.
BUT THEN THERE'S AUTOR!!!
we don't see him and Rue interact much, but their interactions are so good!!!! I would've loved to see more of them. They're very different from each other and yet somehow they work. Their dynamic is very hit or miss, so I love it but I'm sure others would hate it and that's fine. But he is genuinely attracted to her even when she becomes Kraehe, he quickly falls for her (I'm sure this is the influence of the Raven somehow, or maybe the influence of the story itself, but im sure he would've still been interested in her if circumstances were different). And she knew she very well could've taken advantage of him for the sake of Mytho and her father, but she didn't. Sure she had her own reasons, but this was the beginning of her development as a character. I think this is where she started to shift away from her role as a villain.
I really like the chemistry these two had together even if it was just for a short time. And if they ever had a relationship going on, I think their dynamics would work well and it would be better because there's no large age gap, and the two would genuinely like each other for who they are and not because they feel like they have to.
Ofc I'm biased tho and I like a LOT of ships from the show. I personally hc majority of the cast as bisexual/pansexual, so it's very easy for me to see the chemistry between most character interactions. But lmk what you guys think!!!

2023.03.20 22:41 AnUninterestingEvent The Premise of Peter Thiel’s “Zero to One”

I keep seeing recommendations for "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel so I decided to give it a read. I’m almost done with it, but the whole premise seems flawed(?). I just want to vent it here and discuss with anyone else that read the book.
The first several chapters are about how becoming a monopoly is what a startup should strive for.
He also says competition is the “opposite” of capitalism and to build a business in a competitive market is a bad idea.
All of this makes no sense to me. First off, he seems to be semantically overloading the word “monopoly” by implying a monopolistic company is simply one that is far better than the rest. This is hardly what “monopoly” means. A monopoly is a company that grows to a point that it is near impossible for any other company to compete, usually through direct practices to immediately wipe out competitors and/or by being the sole owner of the resources required for another company to compete.
He’s obviously not talking about what a real monopoly is. It seems he’s attempting to be deliberately contrarian for the shock value of saying “monopolies are good”, but he doesn’t actually mean it. He’s simply loosening the definition. All he’s really saying is try to “be 10x better than your competitors”. Uh, yeah, that’s not exactly renowned advice.
His anti-competition rhetoric also doesn't make any sense. Of course no businesses enjoy competition. Of course competition is a threat to any business. He goes on about how economists say there is an ideal state of "perfect competition" in an economy, and that he disagrees. Economists aren't talking about "perfect competition" from an individual business's perspective, they're talking about for consumers and the system at large. Again he's being misleadingly contrarian due to misrepresentation.
And how in the world are "competition" and "capitalism" opposites? They're conceptually 2 different things. Capitalism is an economic system, and competition is a naturally emerging result of capitalism in which firms are in contention to obtain goods. It's apples to oranges. There's nothing anti-capitalism about competition. In fact, quite the opposite. Competition is a key component of capitalism.
Overall, I think this is bad advice for smaller startups. Going into a market with zero competition usually either means 1) Your idea is extremely new and unique to the point that you will have to do relentless marketing to teach consumers of the problem you're solving or 2) Your idea has been tried by other companies previously but had failed.
Competition is often a sign you're in a validated market. This is especially good news for startups who don't have a ton of money to test market validation. Secondly, it's nearly impossible for you to get away from competition because even if you start out with no competitors, they will arise when they see your success.
I guess this advice is good if your only goal is to build a multi-billion dollar unicorn, but for any other sized business, it just makes no sense. Obviously don't build an undifferentiated business in a saturated market, but don't shy away from your unique idea just because there's competition you would have to deal with.
He does get into some good advice later in the book with strategies on how to penetrate and work a market to get to that "10x better" goal, but it seems like he's being intentionally contrarian and controversial throughout the book only semantically. Which is to say not really at all.

2023.03.20 22:39 jerkg00d [M4A] What’s your favourite scary movie?

(All characters and participants must be 18+.)
What’s your favourite scary movie? I ask through the phone, my mask’s built in voice changer makes it sound a lot more dark and menacing than what it’s really like.
After a long pause, longer than usual your shakily reply. ”Wh-who’s this?” From outside your window I see you lock the doors and tell your dog to get inside, before closing the blinds. Maybe I should get in? I think to myself. ”Oh you know who I am…” My response is escapes my grinning mouth. ”So, what is YOUR favourite scary movie?” The question repeats itself over the phone.
You know the tale of the Ghostface murderer, but those were years ago.. surely he can’t be back.. right?
The thoughts run through your mind before you hear your dog growl at the closed closet from inside your room.. ”I see you…”
————————-
Heyy everyone! I’m looking to play as none other than the infamous Ghostface! So while the scene and setting can change, the villain in the story will not. This could act sort of like a ”Who-Dunnit” in which the main friendgroup has to come together to find who is terrorising the streets again.
If this sounds like a fun idea then let me know! Message me with the word ’Terrify’ if you’ve read this far.
As for the other characters? I’m very much open for discussion. We don’t have to be connected to the current Scream saga at all - And OC’s are more than welcome!

2023.03.20 22:33 KyAoD Suggestions for new projector UHD38x, TK700 or ?

Hi all, I have for the last couple of years been using an Epson TW-650, but I feel the 3100 Lumens is a bit low for my setup, I have a hard time using it in daylight in my living room. So I’m looking for a replacement, and have been looking at UHD38x or TK700, but not sure if there are better options, I know there might be som problems with the Optoma.
About my setup.
1st floor apartment, with windows pointing south, and on a wall that’s 7m, more then half is windows, with white curtains, not possible to add or change it, wifes command.
Wall opposite is painted with a dusty light brown, chalck painting, and light wooden floor.
Screen is an Elite Screen Saker Tap Tension 84”
Needs to be a standard throw projector, and distance isn’t a problem and it’s mounted in the ceiling, I’m sitting around 3m from the screen.
Primarily use will be both movie and gaming with an Xbox. I would like to be able to game, doing daylight as well. So that’s where the high lumen requirements steps in.
Budget is capped at 1200euros or 1350$
Located in Europe, Denmark
When watching reviews, the UHD38x scores nicely, but seems like it’s only for a period, until it might hit trouble, but the 4000 lumens is attractive, compared to the 3100 on the TK700. But ofcause, one thing is the manufacturer description and then real life.
Would like it to be a 4k projector
So what would be a good option hive mind?

2023.03.20 22:32 PM_M3_A11things Could the Founders have created The Borg?

At a societal level they are fundamentally similar, interlinked by some kind of hive mind that enhances their society's efficacy in some way.
The Founders prefer the company of their own kind and inherently mistrust Solids, all the while being incredibly deceptive and cunning themselves. It's completely in alignment with their character to create an existential threat that conquers other species through enslavement to keep the Galaxy busy and far away from the Omarian Nebula... That was until the Prophets of Bajor make themselves known to Sisko and somewhat scuppered this arrangement.
So perhaps maybe the Borg begun as an experiment to replicate the Great Link in Solids? That being said there's always a catch with the Founders Engineering. Be it engineering a Ketracel White addiction to the Jem'Hadar or programing the Vorta to perceive them as deities. Where the Borg are concerned with this engineering, it could be assumed that they were engineered with an obsessive quest to reach perfection (unobtainable, but keeps them busy selectively targeting the biological and technological distinctiveness of other Solids) and the same addictive desire to remain part of the Collective as the Founders do where the Great Link is concerned - thus ensuring the quest for perfection never ends.

The Lord of The Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth Commander Deck Bundle - $209.22 LotR Commander Deck - $47.72 (*4= $190.88)

2023.03.20 22:26 Awkward_Comparison93 Ancient Ekrainian Tounge

The Ekrainian language, an intricate tongue spoken by the native Ekrainian Race, holds the distinction of being one of the first languages on the planet Tra'Vol. This complex language boasts elaborate grammar rules and an extensive vocabulary, where context heavily influences the meaning of many words.
To greet someone, one says "Kryniak," which translates to "greetings." Parting ways calls for the expression "Tazkar," or "goodbye." Gratitude is conveyed with the word "Vykram," meaning "thank you."
Affirmative responses are given with "Krenak," while "Nyrak" indicates a negative reply. The elemental terms include "Lymsar" for water, "Nyzar" for fire, "Gaarak" for earth, and "Aeris" for sky. Celestial bodies have their own names: "Solys" for the sun, "Lunaer" for the moon, and "Zyliar" for stars.
Emotions and states are represented with words such as "Elyndar" for love, "Dyrnys" for hate, "Krytsar" for war, and "Nyrthus" for peace. Relationships are defined by terms like "Vakyr" for friend and "Dyzar" for enemy. Societal constructs are designated by words like "Ekrasys" for kingdom, "Myzar" for power, and "Sythar" for wisdom.
The Ekrainian language also acknowledges life and death with "Vyndar" and "Kylos," respectively. Mystical concepts like "Fyraal" for magic, "Vyramar" for wizard, and "Kryndar" for warrior are present as well. Monarchs are referred to as "Sylvera" for queen and "Krynos" for king.
Lastly, the Ekrainian pantheon comprises the gods "Ekrainar," the god of order, and "Neroneka," the god of chaos.
In the Ekrainian language, various expressions convey the unique origins or characteristics of different beings or concepts:
Soul Born Elf: Solvaylian
Blood Born Elf: Vulcainian
Void Born Elf: Luminari
Sea Born Elves: Aquarayian
Our First Creations: Imperious
Children Born of Scales: Chemekian
Forest Born Elves: Sylvanaray
Stone Born Dwarves: Gaiadanar
Wind Born Nomads: Ventusari
Fire Born Children: Ignitari
Additional examples of Ekrainian words include:
Order: Ekrain Chaos: Neronek Murder: Merisu Judgment: Astla Crime: Dyzen Criminal: Dyzar Hello: Kryniak Goodbye: Tazkar Thank you: Vykram Yes: Krenak No: Nyrak Water: Lymsar Fire: Nyzar Earth: Gaarak Sky: Aeris Sun: Solys Moon: Lunaer Star: Zyliar Love: Elyndar Hate: Dyrnys War: Krytsar Peace: Nyrthus Friend: Vakyr Enemy: Dyzar Kingdom: Ekrasys Power: Myzar Wisdom: Sythar Death: Kylos Life: Vyndar Magic: Fyraal Wizard: Vyramar Warrior: Kryndar Queen: Sylvera King: Krynos God: Ekrainar Goddess: Neroneka Greetings: Kryndar Farewell: Tazkyr Appreciation: Vylthar Affirmative: Krenar Negative: Nyrnar Fluid: Lymthar Blaze: Nyzthar Soil: Gyrthar Firmament: Aerthar Radiance: Solythar Lunar: Lunythar Stellar: Zylthar Affection: Elyndyrthar Animosity: Dyrnythar Conflict: Krythar Harmony: Nyrthys Comrade: Vakyrthar Foe: Dyzthar Empire: Ekrasynthar Potency: Myzthar Sapience: Sytharthar Mortality: Kylothar Vitality: Vyndarthar Enchantment: Fyraalthar Magus: Vyramythar Gladiator: Kryndarthar Queenly: Sylverathar Regal: Krynothar Honor: Kyrnal Betrayal: Traesku Courage: Valyra Fear: Fobrys Foolishness: Nartis Justice: Jystara Injustice: Injystar Truth: Veritae Deception: Falsira Beauty: Bellarys Ugliness: Grystark Freedom: Libertas Captivity: Catenar Joy: Gaudia Sorrow: Tristal Prosperity: Opulantar Poverty: Penuria Hope: Speras Despair: Despar Trust: Fidara Doubt: Dubitae Dream: Somnior Nightmare: Nocmara Knowledge: Cognitari Ignorance: Ignaros Balance: Aequilar Imbalance: Inaequar Healing: Sanatar Sickness: Morbys Strength: Fortir Weakness: Debilar Nature: Naturae Artifice: Artifexar Victory: Vinctory Defeat: Decadra Time: Temporis Eternity: Aeternar Fate: Fatum Choice: Electar Journey: Viatar Home: Domus Light: Luminis Darkness: Tenebris Beginnings: Initium Endings: Finemar Spirit: Spiritus Matter: Materiar Curiosity: Curiosar Indifference: Apathae Generosity: Generos Greed: Avaritia Patience: Patientar Impatience: Impatir Humility: Humilitas Pride: Superbar Maybe: Forsitan Certainly: Certanar Probably: Probabilis Possibly: Posibilar Of course: Kursaris Definitely: Definatir Never: Nunquam Always: Semper Sometimes: Interdum Rarely: Raro Often: Saepe Is: Estis This: Hocar And: Etar Get: Obtenar Why: Quoris How: Modaris Who: Quimar Where: Ubiar When: Temporisar Which: Qualis Many: Multar Few: Paucar More: Plurar Less: Minusar Big: Grandar Small: Parvar Fast: Rapidae Slow: Lentar Old: Vetar Young: Juvanar Happy: Felicar Sad: Tristiar Good: Bonar Bad: Malumis Smart: Intelligar Foolish: Stultar Rich: Ricutar Poor: Paupar Hot: Calidar Cold: Frigar Full: Plenar Empty: Vacuar Hard: Durar Soft: Mollar Wet: Umidar Dry: Siccus Long: Longar Short: Breviar Wide: Latar Narrow: Angustar Loud: Sonaros Quiet: Tacitar Heavy: Gravisar Light (weight): Levar Bright: Lucidar Dim: Obscurar Clean: Limpidar Dirty: Sordidar Safe: Securusar Dangerous: Periculis Sweet: Dulcar Sour: Acerbar Bitter: Amarar Salty: Salinar Spicy: Picantar Delicious: Deliciar Tasteless: Insipidar Awake: Vigilar Asleep: Dormitar Alive: Viventis Dead: Mortuar Visible: Visiblar Invisible: Invisiblar Near: Proximar Far: Distantar Above: Suprar Below: Infrar Inside: Internar Outside: Externar High: Altar Low: Bassus Smooth: Levigar Rough: Asperar Thin: Tenur Thick: Crassar Straight: Rectar Curved: Curvar Sharp: Acutar Blunt: Obtusar Kind: Benignar Cruel: Crudelis Brave: Fortisar Cowardly: Timidis

The Ekrainian language is a rich and complex linguistic system spoken by the Ekrainian Race, the first inhabitants of the planet Tra'Vol. It is characterized by its intricate grammar rules and an extensive vocabulary, which allows for a multitude of nuanced meanings and expressions. Its grammar structure is built upon a foundation of inflections, affixes, and context-dependent word forms, making it a challenging language to learn and master for non-native speakers.
One notable aspect of Ekrainian grammar is its extensive use of inflections. Nouns, verbs, and adjectives undergo various transformations based on their role in a sentence, the tense, mood, and aspect of verbs, as well as the gender, number, and case of nouns. This feature enables speakers to convey a great deal of information simply by altering the form of a word.
In Ekrainian, word order is more flexible than in languages like English, due to its reliance on inflections. However, the typical word order follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) pattern, with modifiers generally placed before the words they modify. This structure allows speakers to shift focus or emphasis by rearranging the word order, without changing the core meaning of a sentence.
Another key feature of Ekrainian grammar is the use of affixes, which are added to the beginning or end of a word to modify its meaning. Prefixes, suffixes, and infixes can be combined in numerous ways to create new words or convey complex ideas. This system allows for a high degree of creativity and flexibility in the language.
Ekrainian vocabulary is vast and versatile, with many words having multiple meanings depending on the context in which they are used. This can make the language challenging for learners, as the subtle shifts in meaning often require a deep understanding of the culture and history of the Ekrainian people.
The Ekrainian language also contains a rich array of idiomatic expressions, proverbs, and sayings, which provide insight into the beliefs, values, and worldview of its speakers. These expressions often reflect the deep connection the Ekrainians have with their environment, their gods, and their shared history.
In summary, the Ekrainian language is a sophisticated and expressive linguistic system, marked by complex grammar rules and a rich vocabulary. Its intricacies require a deep understanding of not only the language itself, but also the culture and history of the Ekrainian people. Those who master the Ekrainian language gain access to a world of nuanced communication, poetic beauty, and a unique perspective on the universe.
Ekrainian Story
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Ekrasys, a young warrior named Kryndar set off on a quest to rescue Sylvera, the queen who had been kidnapped by the evil sorcerer Vyramar. Here is the tale in the Ekrainian language:
Kryniak, Ekrasys ekrainary. Kryndar, vyndarthar Krynos, vyramarthar Tazkar, elyndar Sylvera, Sylverathar zyliar. Vyramar, Fyraalthar nyzar, dyzthar ekrainar.
Kryndar tridekaris viatar sytharthar, lymthar aerthar. Fobrys bellarys, valyra krenar. Krythar Ekrasynthar, ekrainar nyrthus, pentardekaris viatar gaarak.
Kryndar vyramarthar aeris, Vyramar gaudia. Kylothar ekrainar, hexaldekaris viatar. Fyraal lunythar, kryndarthar Sylvera libertas, Vyramar nyrnar.
Sylvera ekrainar Kryndar vakyrthar, kyrnal ekrasys. Ekrainar Neroneka, ekrainar nyrthus, Ekrasys ekrainar gaudia. Finemar, kryniak ekrainar tristal.
Translation: Greetings, in the kingdom of Ekrasys. Kryndar, a young warrior, set off to rescue Sylvera, the beautiful queen. Vyramar, a powerful sorcerer, was the enemy of the kingdom.
Kryndar journeyed for thirty days and nights, across land and water. Fearful of the danger, he showed great courage. He fought for the empire, bringing order and peace, traveling for fifty days on the earth.
Kryndar reached the tower where Vyramar was hiding, full of joy. He confronted the sorcerer, and after sixteen days of battle, using powerful magic, he freed Sylvera, and Vyramar was defeated.
Sylvera and Kryndar became close friends, restoring honor to the kingdom. Order and chaos were balanced, and peace returned to Ekrasys. In the end, they greeted a new beginning free from sorrow.
Please note that translating the story directly into Ekrainian is an approximation, as the language's complex grammar and context rules may not perfectly align with English.

2023.03.20 22:23 Rayrex-009 It's Spring! The Month of the Holy Days of Artemis begins!

Ancient Greek Month: Artemision/Artemisios; Zodiac: House of Aries; Spring Equinox; March 20th, 2023 – April 20th, 2023.
Good day! It's the Spring Equinox, which was the New Year's in Ionia and Crete, starting with the month of Artemisios, known in Ephesus as Artemision. During the reign of Augustus this was changed to Mid/Late September to Early/Mid-October, the month of his birthday, but the great importance of Artemision remained.
This month was declared in an edict ~162 AD to be sacred. In Ephesus, no public business will be allowed and when a Roman official violated this policy, he was admonished for violating the "Holy Days of Artemis". Here's a translation by E.L. Hicks.
The main event is the month-long observation of Artemisia, that is filled with processions, sacrifice, music, dancing, and competitions of various types. There was a torch race and winners dedicated their success to Artemis.
Artemisia is described by Richard Oster as “one of the largest and most significant celebrations in Ephesus’ liturgical calendar”.
Artemisia and Thargelia, Artemis and Apollo's birthday were the largest celebrations in the year.
Mary Galvin in her “BIOΣ ~ APTEMIΣ” described the common parts of Artemisian festivals were “…eating and drinking, singing and dancing, precessions, competitions and sacrifice were common activities despite local variations…” (Vol.1-1, page 243). Nighttime festivals for Artemis were quite common.
Other notable events in this month as described by Dr. Rietveld:
An annual pan-Ionian festival, “Ephesia”. Nocturnal festival full of competitions and banquets involving the youth. It also featured choral dancing and other musical competitions. Women and children were also especially encouraged to participate.
An Artemisian marriage festival. Young men and women from and around Ephesus choose their spouse. After the young adults found their partner, they’ll dress up in elaborate and colorful clothes and go on a procession to the Temple of Artemis. They are accompanied with music and dancing, sang hymns to Artemis with her images surround the procession. At the Temple they newlyweds confirmed their marriage with a sacrifice to Artemis Ephesia. This festival was featured in Xenophon's Ephesian Tales.
Port Opening Ceremony. The beginning of Spring marks the opening of the port of Ephesus after it was closed during winter. At the harbor an image of Artemis was brought from the Temple of Artemis and cast it into the water. They believed that her power would protect sailors, navigators, and people traveling on the sea. Artemis Ephesia was known as the “Queen of the Sea”.
As well as many other celebrations.
Main source: Dr. Rietveld's "Artemis of the Ephesians" book and Youtube.
Personally, I'll be doing prayers, a religious meal, singing and dancing, do several athletic competitions to try to get a PB, like running or weightlifting.
Edit: Feel free to correct any mistakes I might've made, I tried to triple check my sources just in case.

Primarily use will be both movie and gaming with an Xbox. I would like to be able to game, doing daylight as well. So that’s where the high lumen requirements steps in.
Budget is capped at 1200euros or 1350$
Located in Europe, Denmark
When watching reviews, the UHD38x scores nicely, but seems like it’s only for a period, until it might hit trouble, but the 4000 lumens is attractive, compared to the 3100 on the TK700. But ofcause, one thing is the manufacturer description and then real life.

So what would be a good option hive mind?
