2023.03.20 22:43 MamaNeedsMoreCoffee New & Confused
Hey 👋🏼 40f, new to this whole stone thing as far as I was aware. Here’s my novel… I’m confused and a little nervous.
In early February I went to my PCP’s office for what I thought might be a UTI… they sent out a sample and sent me on my way with antibiotics. A day or two later the culture came back negative, I d/c the antibody and was sent for an abdominal CT scan which found several tiny (2-4mm)bilateral stones, one 5mm in my right UVJ and a 9mm non-obstructing in my right lower pole. Was then sent off to see the urologist who did a
u/s in office and confirmed the two larger and sent me for a KUB x-ray (idk why).
I was scheduled for an ECSW Lithotripsy for 3 weeks out and put on flomax to help pass the ureteral stone. Was told if the 5mm didn’t pass first, it would be targeted(?) first and a second procedure would have to be scheduled for the 9mm. Doc said ‘not likely’ when i asked whether the flomax might move the 9mm into the ureter.
Was instructed to strain urine and passed a few smaller stones in the meantime, including what may have been the 5mm.
On lithotripsy day, the X-ray taken pre-procedure showed the 5mm gone and the 9mm in the ureter. Because of course it was. (Doctor asked with incredulity whether I hadn’t had pain and I said nothing out of the range of normal for my typical inflammatory arthritis in my lower back.🤷🏻♀️) 9mm stone was targeted and I was to continue straining urine. No stents placed. I had about 12 hours of light visible hematuria and some crampy pain and lots of generalized soreness. Minor bruising on right flank. Had one 2-3 hour period of pretty intense pain on day 2 that I used Tylenol and a heating pad to get through before finally passing a larger looking jagged shaped fragment.
Over the next two weeks I passed multiple smaller fragment and lots of tiny ones the sizes of grains of sand. All were dropped off at follow up visit for the lab. Stones are calcium oxide.
I then had a follow up KUB x-ray last Monday that indicated a ‘1.3cm oval calcification overlying the right ureter’ and mild hydronephrosis on that side. (What?!? Where did that come from?!) No pain of note aside from my typical generalized lower back pain, no fever. Urologist said to continue flomax and repeat KUB and CT in two weeks. 24hour urine collection ordered (kit didn’t arrive until Saturday)
That evening I forgot to take the flomax after dinner and remembered late that night after I had fallen asleep watching tv. Took it when I remembered and went to bed. The next morning I had severe dizzy spells while getting my kid ready for school, blacked out, fell and landed myself in the ER for forehead sutures.
Primary care doctor (whom I happened to be seeing Tuesday for other reasons) ordered me to immediately D/C the flomax and notified urologist. Sent me for other unrelated imaging. Friday’s U/S of my liver also noted ‘STAT’ finding of hydronephrosis and lack of right ‘jet’ in bladder ‘concerning for possible obstruction’ … report was forwarded to urologist who asked that I move the CT he had ordered to asap.
CT was done today. Report was posted within 30 minutes reading “Right hydronephrosis secondary to a 13 x 6 mm stone in the right proximal” I waited an hour for a call from urologist before calling to see what I should do now. Office apparently closes early on Mondays.
Not sure if headache this afternoon if from having sutures removed or stress or is headache a kidney thing? And is the dull ache in my right flank just psychosomatic or coincidentally surfaced today…?
My real question is what the heck? Was the 9mm stone missed entirely and then got larger?? Or is it possible an entirely different, previously undetected stone has shown up and lodged itself in the same place??
This is frustrating. Also my kid has stellar timing so we have repeat strep infection keeping her home from school today and tomorrow, meaning I can’t just show up at urologist first thing tomorrow. 🤦🏻♀️

Out there - Patreon (for all those curious or wanting to support :)) At the Beginning
Adventure Arc - Arc 2
Wilderness Arc - Arc 3
Academy Arc - Arc 4
Previously on Leveling up the World…
Book 2 (start of the Adventure/City Arc) is available for pre-order!
A thin shimmering layer covered the sword once Dallion returned to the real world.it wasn’t the standard shimmering of an otherworlder, at least not entirely. There was a slight nuance to it, making it appear both to be part of this world, but also not.
“This what you wanted?” Dallion stood up.
Based on the intense emotions resonating from both Phoil and Raven, the answer was obvious. Even so, the black-haired noble had no desire to surrender a compliment.
“How many tries did it take you?” he asked.
“Two. Does it matter?”
“Not particularly.”
Internally, Dallion frowned. He’d learned to accept that nobles respected items, least of all.
“Alright, then. Now about your part of the deal? I need to be out before dark.”
“I’ll keep my word.” Raven pointed at the sword in a slow, dismissive fashion. That was more than enough for Phoil to pick up the weapon. Instead of heading outside, though, he went up the stairs to the private area of the building. “It’ll take me a bit to get my seal adjusted. Meet you at the door in half an hour?”
“Half an hour.” Dallion nodded. “See you there.”
This was the best deal he’d get, so there was no point in shaking the boat. He himself had something to pick up from his room.
Onda, did you get all that? Dallion asked as he went back into the corridor.
Well done, old man. One could almost near the nymph clapping. Lamer than me, but still cool.
What did I do wrong?
Nothing. Everything was perfect. The set up, the way you convinced the guardian, the selection of the material… It’s your logic that’s messed up. No, not exactly messed up, just too dependent on other things.
Hmm.
Keeping himself from running along the corridor, Dallion made his way to his room. The new feat he’d achieved filled him with more energy than was healthy. He tried getting rid of some of it by extending magic threads out of his hand—weaving them into a rope, as Katka had instructed—but that made him even more restless. Magic had a way to make its owner feel invincible, almost as if he’d drunk a bucket of energy drinks.
“Ruby, we’re heading outside.” Dallion pulled back the cluster of threads back into him, then took the aetherizer he kept hidden in a drawer with an invisibility symbol on it. “How do you feel about that?”
The shardfly stoically flew off the spot on the ceiling, taking its place on Dallion’s shoulder. For some reason, that reminded Dallion of Gleam.
Within seconds, the euphoria he had accumulated vanished without a trace. Was he capable of bringing the shardfly back? It had to be more complicated than opening a portal to the banished world. And even if it wasn’t, Dallion had no way of reaching that realm again.
“Tell me when you sense nearby illusions, okay?” Dallion said.
Okay. Ruby flocked his wings.
“And don’t get into any fights, even if I’m attacked. Got it?”
Dallion looked at his heavy gear. Considering what he would be facing, having his armadil shield and harpsisword would help. Unfortunately, he’d have to make do with his Nox dagger.
Less than a minute was necessary for Dallion to reach the main door of the building. Judging by the occasional look of disapproval he received from passing apprentices, it was safe to say that the glamor from the challenge was starting to wear off. And then there was the waiting. Every second dragged on. Unlike Dallion, Raven didn’t seem to be remotely in a hurry to get there.
Now you know what it feels like for guardians, Nil commented.
Precisely thirty minutes after he’d promised, Raven appeared, walking calmly down the corridor. Surprisingly, he wasn’t alone.
“Mage Tisaku?” Dallion asked.
The man didn’t seem at all pleased to be there. The fact that he was showed the pull Raven’s family had.
“Dallion,” the man acknowledged the other’s presence as he walked by, stopping right in front of the door. “Two hours,” he said, fingers drawing an intricate pattern faster than the human eye could see. A top level awakened would have trouble following the design. Unlike the standard spell, this was composed of a single pattern.
Purple light blended with the threads and symbols covering the door’s surface, melting them away.
“Try not to get in trouble. I don’t want to owe the White Eye favors.” The door opened.
“Yes, mage.” Dallion was the only one to answer.
Meanwhile, Raves passed by as if both of them were beneath him. The sad truth was that thanks to his father, they probably were.
From such an angle, the surroundings seemed a lot better than what Dallion had seen from the rooftop. That was to be expected; the mages had taken great care to cover all undesirable sights with illusions. If one didn’t know better, they would swear that the cluster of buildings surrounding the Learning Hall was pretty much the same as it always had been. Occasionally, there would be small signs that something was wrong—some magic symbols wouldn’t glow as bright, some streets would have a quarter of the people they were supposed to—but the illusion was close to perfect.
“Well, we’re out.” Raven looked at Dallion. “How what?”
“Now, I need to see a dwarf.”
After ten steps, Ruby mentioned that they were near an illusion. The spell was quite subtle, creating the impression that Dallion was walking along the same path. In a matter of minutes, he had reached his destination—the shop he had frequented so many times while outside.
That wasn’t remotely true. Discretely casting the spell that let him see through illusions, Dallion found that he’d reached an entirely new area. The level of the spell was beyond impressive; it had successfully created a false memory of the area and maintained it as reality, while in truth shardflies were destroying more and more of the surroundings.
A few steps from the shop, Dallion stopped. A small, quickly constructed building was in front of him. It was impossible to tell whether he’d find the same people on the inside, or the whole thing was nothing but a fake façade.
“Aren’t you going in there?” Raven asked.
“No.” Some things were better left uncertain. “I changed my mind. There’s somewhere else I need to be.”
Ignoring the noble’s comments, Dallion went back through illusion to the first place—the potion lab. The trip took slightly longer than Dallion remembered. To his surprise, the actual building was still there, mostly intact.
“You’re here to buy potions?” Raven crossed his arms. “I could have gotten you everything this third-rate place could make.”
“It’s not potions I’ve come for. Wait for me here, okay?”
The black-haired shrugged, then summoned a chair for him to sit in.
Reciting the names of the seven Moons, Dallion opened the door and stepped right in. The lab was in relatively good shape, if abandoned. Gone were the apprentices slaving away, as were most of their tools and material components.
Splitting into a dozen instances, Dallion went on. Every few seconds, he’d pause and split again, in case a flutter of shardflies came flying at him from somewhere. Thankfully, no such thing happened.
“Mage,” he said, as he approached the office of the lab’s owner. “Mage?” He entered.
The room was a lot smaller than he remembered. Seated on a rickety chair, slumped over a small old desk, was the mage. A strong stench of alcohol came filled the room, mixed in with tobacco smoke.
“Mage?”
“Mage no more,” the man said. His appearance was in worse shape than the room itself. One could only speculate how long it had taken him to reach such a wretched state, but it was more than a few weeks.
“The Academy rogued you?”
“Ha.” The man let out a sad laugh. “If they had rogued me, at least I’d have something. Now, I’m just a nobody that’s sentenced to remain here. I lost my reputation with this. All the conniving schemers that wanted to take me down had their chance. Everyone important wouldn’t speak to me, and anyone less important doesn’t want to have anything to do with me.” He pushed an empty glass across the desk.
Dallion couldn’t be sure whether he was being offered a drink or expected to fill the glass. Ultimately, he did neither.
“My apprentices left, as did all my customers.” The mage cast a spell, pulling the glass back. As he did, it filled up with murky liquid. “The archmage generously offered me temporary quarters in the apprentice wing. Me!” he tapped his chest with a finger. “To live with common apprentices.”
Would have been better than here, Dallion thought.
“Why not leave the Academy?” Dallion asked. “Temporarily.”
“No one’s leaving the Academy. Not with the war going on. The web of lies is in full effect. One province has fallen, two more are all losing ground. And the idiots in the south are still engaged in their petty squabbles.” He grabbed the glass and downed it in one go. For a moment, the stench in the room got worse. “Mages are too precious to be out in the open. Emperor’s orders. The way things are going, we’ll be ordered to fight.”
So, it’s that bad, Dallion thought.
He’d long suspected it, but this was the first time he’d gotten actual confirmation… if the words of a drunk could be believed. Looking at him, it was clear that the mage was a potion maker and an academic. He was not fit for combat. He’d probably forgotten all his combat spells decades ago, relying on the impenetrable strength of the Academy. His reputation was the most valuable thing he had, and now that was gone as well.
“They’ll be a need of potions again,” Dallion said, using his music skills to add as much joy to his words as possible.
“If the war doesn’t finish us, the blasted shardflies would!” The man tried to take another gulp from his glass, only then noticing it was empty. “You’re the hunter, aren’t you?” he asked. “Your level’s too high to be anything else.”
Here we go, Dallion prepared mentally.
“I guess I must thank you. I wanted to get you kicked out after you sealed off my room in the basement. Truth is you did me a favor. I don’t know what spell you cast on the shardflies, but they didn’t attack anyone here or try to destroy the place. They destroyed lots of buildings around me, but never mine.”
“The swarms came from here?”
“Who knows? Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. All of them appeared from the ground. The idiots thought they could stop them, and they did. The shardflies have been contained, but no one has any idea why they became active in the first place.”
“This whole place might be built on a shardfly nest…” Dallion whispered, more to himself than the mage.
Worst of all, it was all but confirmed that he had caused a stir with his arrival. An empath with nightmares of void was enough to stir any creature. No doubt it had happened subconsciously. Neither Dallion nor the creatures suspected. Even so, something had kept disturbing the shardflies, causing them to drill above ground and lash out at anything in sight.
“And the Academy has no overseer,” he added.
“Overseer.” The mage laughed. “We have enough battle constructs to destroy armies. That’s the problem, though. Everyone is too good at destroying. Those that aren’t affected don’t take the shardflies seriously, and those that are, are already considering how to use that to their political advantage. I did. I even snatched a few buildings from a few people. All of them are now holes in the ground.”
That sounded like something a mage would do. Yet, why hadn’t the Archmage intervened? Even with everyone busy covering up the situation, there was no way he wouldn’t notice by now. Unless, he too was covering up for the emperor. Such a dramatic failure could well be grounds for him to be replaced. Isolating the Learning Hall could well have been the best option from his point of view.
Dallion took out the aetherizer. He still had second thoughts about using it. Nonetheless, he linked the item to the realm and then activated it. The artifact turned purple.
Holy crap!
There had to be hundreds, if not thousands, or vortexes in the twenty miles area surrounding him; so many that he could tell when one started, and another ended, not what level they were. Suddenly, all this seemed more than a natural phenomenon.

2023.03.20 22:20 mfinan68 Do Not Buy From Taste the Luxe site
Do not order from this company.
I placed an order on 10/11/2022 for two bottles of perfume (BR540 and LDBS). I had read reviews and didn’t see any serious red flags. The order was around $340. Upon receiving the shipping notice, I discovered the package was coming from Russia. I should have canceled but I really was looking forward to the perfumes.
The package took forever to make any real movement. It seemed to bounce back and forth between locations in Russia. I messaged the company and was assured the package was fine.
Finally the package made it to the Netherlands and at the end of December 2022, it made it to customs in NY. I again messaged the company asking if there was a new tracking number. They sent a link stating the original tracking number (from Russia post) would continue to work on the USPS site. After 2 weeks stuck at customs, they said they’d resend my order - but they never provided me any shipping information for a replacement order.
The package never update beyond being received by customs. I asked the company multiple times for assistance in getting status about the package. I tried to file for post package status but couldn’t “due to its status” at customs. I sent the company a copy of the message that said i couldn’t file for a lost package and asked them to please file the package as lost. My messages began being ignored.
Around the end of February 2023, the status of the package disappeared and the USPS website simply said the package was untrackable. I reached out to the company one last time via email (because messages were being ignored) asking them for a refund and telling them that I’d file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau after one week if I didn’t hear from them. They messaged me and told me that the package had been delivered and that I had received my products. I have not received a package. I asked for the evidence they have showing my package was delivered and they couldn’t provide any.
I shouldn’t have waited because now it’s too late for me to dispute the payment to them. So it’s been a hard $340 lesson for me - learn from my experience and don’t order from this company. I have filed with the BBB.

2023.03.20 22:12 ainsfloaveron My journey as a mediocre US IMG who matched into their #1 in Psych.
Hi all! First thing's first, congratulations to everyone who matched. I know not everyone got their desired specialty or location, but the horror that is residency applications is now past us and the only thing to do now is keep moving forward. Things will eventually fall into place. For those who didn't match, I'm so sorry. This process is brutal - emotionally and financially - and I hope you're holding up alright.
This post is for my fellow IMGs (honestly US students too if you vibe with it). I understand that the anxiety of going through this whole process eats away at you when you're feeling overwhelmed and underprepared, so I'd like to detail my journey from the beginning until now for those that may find solace in reading others' stories, especially if you identify with it. Those that hyperfocus on timing of exams and USCE, and the 'who what where when why' of things might appreciate this; I'll explain my strategy when approaching different parts of the application. What I ultimately hope to convey is 1. even the mediocre students can make it, and 2. there's no one 'right way' to do things. And I hope that this is able to encourage you to continue pushing forward, especially if you feel you're at a standstill in your own journey.
Growing up I was never the most academically disciplined. I sometimes joke that I was the only Asian in school that took majority regulars classes. I was fortunate in that my mother had the singular requirement that I simply not fail any classes, so that's pretty much what I did. I coasted through school while I saw friends beat themselves up over grades better than I ever even strived for. The way everyone stressed over getting into great colleges? High SAT scores? Foreign concepts to me. That same attitude carried through to med school.
I ended up not applying to colleges in the US and instead decided to go to Latin America to study for XYZ reasons. My grades were decent first year, worse second year, and even worse third year. When I say I was mediocre, I mean mediocre. It was to the point where I had to get >25/30 on final exams to pass classes, and I spent all three years stressed out of my mind because I was always in danger of failing something. It wasn't because I was dumb. Laziness is powerful, and I just never cared enough to sit down and study properly for anything.
Rotations were better; I'm better working with my hands than with my face in a book. I had fun in the hospital, as crazy and fast-paced as it is. Grades were still meh, because I still wasn't actually studying. I essentially spent my clinical years learning empirically instead of academically. This also doesn't mean I didn't know anything. No life was ever in danger because of my lack of knowledge. I simply do horribly on written exams and never cared to strive for A's.
Graduation came and went (2020) and I moved back to the states in 2021 to begin preparing for Step in July. I took Step 1 November 2021, OET January 2022, and Step 2 end of May 2022. Step 1 was average, and I don't actually know my Step 2 score lol. I wrote two incredibly detailed posts (
1,
2) about my Step 1 experience. This means there is a gap in my CV from October 2020 to November 2021, but I decided Step studying and 'moving my entire damn life back to the states' was good enough of an excuse to bullshit my way through if asked about during interviews.
My approach to apps in general were: do everything on time and completed before September, fill up my CV as much as I could with extra US associated stuff by September (and afterward in case I didn't match and had to update my CV for the 2024 cycle), and network as much as possible, which included joining online Psych caucus meetings and going to annual Psych conferences.
USCE was done in:
- May 2022: IM, private clinic. Through connections, and I got an LOR from the doctor. She specifically mentioned I want Psych in the letter. LOR strength maybe 7/10.
- June 2022: IM, big name hospital. Also through connections. He also mentioned I want Psych in the letter. Strongest LOR by far. 9.5/10.
- July 2022: Psych, private, remote. Googled the man, had to pay for it. Horrible bedside manner, etiquette a solid 0 in all aspects. The epitome of the type of psychiatrist not to be. Got an LOR, didn't even use it.
- July, August 2022: Psych, private, remote. Through connections. Loved this guy. Was the only Psych LOR I used, even if it was painfully average, short, and generic sounding (but still sincere in a way). 7/10.
I didn't want to have
any gaps in my CV now that post-Nov 2021 I emerged from Step hermit land and there was activity again, so I took up volunteering at a health center September 2022 and started tutoring high school students in Spanish. I've also been doing Psych related research since May 2022 with a well known CAP PD, and I was able to fill my CV with stuff I've done since meeting her.
My PS was written painstakingly slowly between July and August 2022 and sent to 10+ people to edit. Too many? Yes. But I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, and my FOMO meant the more eyes, the better. I knew which edits to accept and which to reject. What I looked for in edits were things I was missing that I wasn't noticing, better wording, and order of information (what to mention in which paragraph?). There were enough edits that my PS was improved substantially, but not so many that I lost my voice. I asked non-medical, medical non-Psych, and Psych people to read it, because I wanted perspectives from all sides.
What I lacked in academically I made up for in other areas. I filled up every single character in the hobbies section. I put mainly non-medical things in the supplemental application. I complemented an experience in PS with one of the entries in the supplemental (as well as an entry in my main CV), so things were connected throughout my entire application and explained in detail in different ways. My strategy here was for them to see I didn't only care about medicine and that I've done and do more things with my time that are enriching to my person and would contribute to my formation as a psychiatrist. Sounds corny, but it worked. Instead of filling my app with medicine, medicine, and medicine (understandable for more academically competitive specialties), I focused on everything outside of it and somehow made a type of association with medicine in the end. Besides the common questions asked in interviews, people mainly focused on my extracurriculars and asked what I did outside of medicine. I suppose I'm fortunate in wanting Psych since it's easier to do that than in other specialties, so obviously take this all with a huge ass grain of salt.
Applications were sent out the moment ERAS opened. I edited my CV with a friend (another applicant) the day before so she could catch errors I glossed over, and also for moral support. But I asked a non-medical friend to help me
write my CV beforehand because she's chef's kiss for these kinds of things and I am very much not.
Before each interview I took propranolol cause I shake like no other when under pressure. I had an entire Word doc with every question from the Psych spreadsheet (and my answers in bullet points) on one half of the screen, and the video call on the other half. I made sure I was in a well lit and quiet area, with minimal visual contamination behind me. If I didn't know how to answer a question, I would stall in the most natural way possible. The way you look on paper gets you the interview. Once you're in the interview, social skills come into play and are in large part what determines if and where they rank you, so it was imperative for me to shine through with how I sat, how I spoke, how I answered, and damn, even how I breathed.
I sent out my LOI at the end of January, written with the help of two friends, and got a hopeful response from the PD. Didn't read too much into it, but I rode the wave of confidence until Match Day. Ended up matching there, and here we are now.
My point with all of this is:
- There's no magic recipe for success. People will tell you IM rotations for Psych are a bad idea. Others will tell you 0 publications = 0 IVs. What matters is how you frame these experiences in your application and IVs. I said I did IM rotations because IM's important. When is it not? It doesn't take away from the type of physician I'll be in the future, but rather adds to it.
- Prepare for everything. Do things on time. Strategize. I started networking at the beginning of last year, and even if I didn't get IVs in places I had connections, these are all people that know me now, and they have seen my progress since meeting them a year ago. I started forming these relationships preemptively because I didn't want to start residency at 0.
- Your attitude matters. The way you see yourself matters. Have confidence in yourself! You've made it this far. But don't be cocky. It is possible to consider yourself intelligent and still be humble. It is also possible to consider yourself intelligent and have it backfire because arrogance gets in the way of adequate progress. And the more negative the mindset, the worse the outcome. Not always, but the people I know with such a negative view of the world and negative approach to Step and applications have had the worst performance since beginning this entire process. Understand that you are objectively capable of doing what everyone else is doing. Own your shit.
- You can match with Step attempts. You can match with CV gaps. You can match with YOGs > 5y. You can match no matter what your credentials.
- Basically, understand how to play the system. Work smarter, not harder. Work hard regardless, but ensure that the return on the work you put in is worth it in the end. Understand what these programs want. Understand that the way you present yourself to them matters. Learn how to catch their attention, and be prepared when it's your turn to speak.
Thank you if you've read this entire thing. And as always, AMA.

2023.03.20 22:06 ErStro00 Deutsche Bank default up next / inconsistency with AT-1 (Additional Tier 1) notes
| AT-1 notes of Deutsche took a havy hit amidst the banking crisis unfolding So.... After the near default of debit suisse, and the complete wipe out of 16bn USD in AT-1 notes, I decided today that it might be worth the time to do a "thorough" deep dive into the nature of these bonds. So I found out, the Deutsche Bank issued such bond in November 2022 (ISIN: DE000A30VT97) Additional Tier 1, after refinancing and interest rose for all of us. My two questions here is: Where did I miss out? Is this a smash or a pass? For my "in-depth" investigation: (+) First, Deutsche is paying a fixed coupon of 10% p.a. until 2028, which sounds not like a bad deal assuming inflation stays below the yield rate for the upcoming time. Another advantage would be the recuring "fixed" payments vs. spending hours analyzing stocks in order to loose cash. (+) Second, most surprising for me, the bond currently trades 85ct for 1EUR, so the markdown is quite heavy. Deutsche Bank AG 10% Anleihe A30VT9 DE000A30VT97 Kurs (boerse-frankfurt.de) (+-)Third. I (tried) to read the emission prospectus and drew the conclusion, that the bonds will be worthless, when their Tier 1 Capitalisation Ratio will fall below 5.125%. It currently (12/31/22) sits at around 15%. So if the bonds are worthless, the bank has to be literally bankrupt. *2022-11-10_AT1_Prospectus.PDF (db.com) (+) Fourth, Deutsche Bank had the Credit Suisse struggles from the years 2012-2018, scandals have been resolved, altough it took a long time, the bank reduced risks (they said so) and is currently run by a boring (looks solid) German guy. Not the type of CEO who draws attention by tailing his employes or circumventing Covid restrictions by using a corporate jet. (-) Fifth, their rating is just litte above Credit Suisse last rating, in the range of A+ to A-. The credit defaul swap spreads are currently at 175 bps, so quite high. submitted by ErStro00 to wallstreetbets [link] [comments] |
2023.03.20 22:02 MrMonstrosity List of D4 Unique Items
So here are some datamined unique items (build 0.8.0.39517).
*Please note: These may not be final and there could be additional unique items added, or powers/names changed. I don't believe this is the final list, in fact, I've seen screenshots of many other uniques that aren't listed here. You'll notice a few fan-favorite uniques returning in the list from previous games along with uniques that are completely new.
In beta we got to see only a tiny part of charactebuild customization. Once we combine legendary powers, affixes and stats on gear, paragon boards, glyphs (socket these into paragon boards), uniques, skill trees, and the class-specific systems (enchantments, book of the dead, spirit boons, etc) we should be in a great place which should be enough to satisfy even the most veteran arpg fans out of the gate.

2023.03.20 21:34 ammodotcom Top 5 Best 30-06 Ammo for Deer Hunting: Put Bambi in Your Freezer
The 30-06 Springfield is an American cartridge through and through. It’s a two-time World War champion, can take down any big game animal North America can throw at it, and you’ve selected it for deer hunting.
All we can say is, “Good call!”
The 30-06 has been putting venison on plates and in freezers for well over a century, and as such there’s a lot of different hunting rounds available. But with so much variety, it can be hard to pick the best one for your deer hunting needs.
If you’re in a hurry, then we’d recommend that you pick up a box of Barnes 150 Grain TTSX. It’s the best 30-06 ammo for deer hunting. However, if you have some time and want to see our entire top 5 list, just keep reading.
If you’re new to deer hunting or looking for more information about the 30-06 Springfield, check out our Buyer’s Guide
HERE. Otherwise, scroll just a bit down to review more of our list…
The Best 30-06 Ammo for Deer Hunting
- Barnes VOR-TX 150 Grain TTSX
- Remington CoreLokt 150 Grain Scirocco Bonded
- Hornady American Whitetail 150 Grain SP
- Winchester Power Point 165 Grain PSP
- Federal Fusion 180 gr FSP
Best Overall 30-06 Ammo for Deer Hunting
Specs
- Casing - Brass
- Bullet Type – Tipped Tripple-Shock X (TTSX)
- Bullet Weight - 150 Grains
- Muzzle Velocity – 2,970 fps
- Muzzle Energy – 2,937 ft-lbs.
Pros
- Designed for rapid and controlled expansion
- Near 100% weight retention
- All-copper bullet legal in California
Cons
- Pricier than other options
Why We Chose It
The best deer hunting rounds for the 30-06 are affordable, in stock, and have additional features that control expansion and adequately maximize penetration. The 150-grain Barnes TTSX meets all our standards, and it’s something we can recommend to everyone.
Barnes takes extraordinary measures to produce insanely high-quality ammo, and the TTSX line is no exception. The polymer tip makes the TTSX more aerodynamic, raising the ballistic coefficient and helping the bullet penetrate before expanding.
The bullet’s terminal performance is nothing short of superb. The 150-grain bullet penetrates deep and expands to nearly double its original diameter (assuming impact occurs between 1,800 and 3,000 fps). The brilliant design and all-copper composite make an extremely effective wound cavity. All you need to worry about is shot placement!
In addition to being a slam dunk for deer season, we love this round for its versatility. Not only can the Barnes 150 gr TTSX easily take down a deer at 500 yards with proper shot placement, but it can also be used for larger game animals like black bears, elk, and moose.
If you want an efficient round that’s pretty easy to find, pick up a box of the
Barnes 150 gr TTSX. The high ballistic coefficient, superior Barnes quality, and flat trajectory make it well worth a few dollars per round.
Honorable Mention
Nosler Trophy Grade 150 Grain Nosler Partition - Another excellent round you should grab for deer hunting is Nosler Partition ammo for the 30-06. The Nosler Partition bullet has two components separated by a partition, the front for penetration/expansion and the back for weight retention. Of course, if you need a round for hunting large animals, consider the Nosler 150 grain Accubond. However, we found Nosler Partition ammo easier to find in stock.
Best 30-06 Ammo for Deer Hunting - Runner Up
Specs
- Casing - Brass
- Bullet Type - Swift Scirocco Bonded
- Bullet Weight - 150 Grains
- Muzzle Velocity – 2,910 fps
- Muzzle Energy – 2,821 ft-lbs
Pros
- High availability
- Extremely accurate in our hands
- Perfect for deer and elk hunting
Cons
Why We Chose It
Remington 150 Grain Scirocco Bonded ammo is an excellent round for hunters during deer season. It’s a hard-hitting bullet with a flatter trajectory than some other rounds and leaves an impressive wound channel.
Like the Barnes TTSX, Swift Scirocco Bonded bullets have nearly 100% weight retention to maximize penetration. The polymer tip is responsible for initiating expansion, but the electro-chemical bonding process is what keeps the lead core and copper jacket together to ensure deadly terminal performance.
You’ll get adequate expansion at velocities as low as 1,650 fps (around 500 yards). This gives you a little more distance than some of our other recommendations. It’s also slightly cheaper than the Barnes TTSX but still pricier than some other options on our top 5 list.
Not only does the
Remington 150 gr Swift Scirocco Bonded bullet do amazing work on deer, but we also love it because you can ethically hunt elk, black bears, and moose too.
Best Budget 30-06 Ammo for Deer Hunting
Specs
- Casing - Brass
- Bullet Type – Jacketed Soft Point (JSP)
- Bullet Weight - 150 Grains
- Muzzle Velocity – 2,910 fps
- Muzzle Energy – 2,820 ft-lbs
Pros
- Low price tag makes it easy to buy in bulk
- Backed by Hornady’s high-quality reputation
- JSP (Jacketed Soft Point) for great terminal performance and expansion
Cons
- Shorter effective range on deer
Why We Chose It
Hornady American Whitetail is a phenomenal choice if you’re looking for excellent factory ammo on a budget and you don’t have time to work on handloads. Easy on the wallet and effective on the hunt, this 150-grain cartridge offers phenomenal terminal performance and exceptional accuracy.
Hornady Whitetail is an extremely popular choice for avid hunters because it’s a high-quality round that deals a lot of damage to the deer and not your pocketbook. With Hornady’s patented InterLock® design, the lead core and jacket stay together on impact giving you high levels of penetration and expansion.
Hornady Whitetail utilizes a soft point bullet with a muzzle velocity of 2,910 fps that can accurately bag a deer within 400 yards (just over 1,800 fps) and still achieve the expansion necessary to bring down a trophy buck.
Although Hornady American Whitetail is soft on the wallet, the jacketed soft point bullet design is less effective at long range shots when compared to other offerings on our top 5 list. However, if you hunt in wooded areas like New England, the Midwest, and forests of the Pacific Northwest, then Hornady American Whitetail 150 gr SP ammo will offer more than enough range for deer season this fall.
Honorable Mention
Prvi Partisan 150 Grain SP: This is another excellent budget round that simply gets the job done. If you’re looking for an affordable deer hunting cartridge, Prvi Partisan is an excellent backup choice. It’s readily available and the soft pointed lead core will easily penetrate medium-sized game animals.
Best 30-06 Ammo for Deer - Fan Favorite
Specs
- Casing - Brass
- Bullet Type - Pointed Soft Point
- Bullet Weight - 165 Grains
- Muzzle Velocity – 2,800 fps
- Muzzle Energy – 2,872 ft-lbs
Pros
- Affordable and easy to find
- Accuracy
- Excellent expansion
Cons
- Not great for large game like elk
Why We Chose It
We love a good, tried and true 30-06 cartridge, and Winchester Power Point 165 grain fits that bill perfectly. This low-cost cartridge has a flat trajectory and packs more than enough wallop to take down any deer in your sights.
Winchester designed its
Power Point bullets for accuracy and penetration. The soft lead core is encased in a copper jacket, so you’ll have the controlled expansion necessary to create a sufficient wound cavity and ethically take home your deer.
The Winchester Power Point was deadly accurate in our hands and expands perfectly between 3,000 and 1,800 feet per second. Assuming you keep your shots within 300 yards, you’ll bag a deer for less than $2/round without having to trek through the woods following blood trails.
However, while many hunters have taken down large creatures with the
165-grain Winchester Power Point, it’s a bit risky to use it for hunting bigger game (larger than 300 pounds). Shot placement and distance will play a significant role in your success.
If you want to ethically hunt deer, this round will work. But if you want to hunt larger game, try one of the other rounds on our list.
Honorable Mention
Federal Power-Shok 150 Grain - Another excellent round that works well on the medium-sized game, like whitetail deer and mule deer. It’s a traditional lead core soft-point bullet with no bells and whistles. If you’re looking for a low-cost conventional 30-06 ammo for deer hunting that simply gets the job done, then look no further than Federal Power-Shok.
Best 30-06 Ammo for Deer Hunting
Specs
- Casing - Brass
- Bullet Type – Fusion Soft Point
- Bullet Weight - 180 Grain
- Muzzle Velocity – 2700 fps
- Muzzle Energy – 2,913 ft-lbs
Pros
- Developed specifically for deer hunting
- Incredibly accurate
- Accurate
- Inexpensive and abundant
Cons
- Not great for hunting larger game animals
Why We Chose It
If you’re looking for the first round developed specifically for deer hunters, then look no further than the Federal Fusion 180 gr FSP.
Utilizing a skived nose, the Federal Premium Fusion Soft Point is built for immediate and deadly expansion the moment it encounters soft tissue. This is perfect for thin-skinned game like whitetail and mule deer, where you want maximum penetration, weight retention, and a wide wound channel.
The copper jacket used on FSP rounds is electrochemically bound to the soft lead core. This makes for a perfectly uniform jacket that is incredibly accurate for a soft point round.
The massive 180 grain bullet really does a number on medium sized game, transferring the maximum amount of kinetic energy possible into that trophy whitetail that wandered in front of your tree stand.
Although the Federal Fusion is perfect for deer, it’s not the best choice for larger game like elk. However, if you want the original purpose-built deer round, then
Federal Fusion 180 gr is a perfect choice to take out into the woods this fall.
Oh Deer! That’s a Wrap
Congratulations! You made it all the way to the end. No matter which of these factory loads you choose, you’ll be well armed to put Bambi in your freezer this deer season.
But since you made it this far, do you want to keep learning more about the 30-06 Springfield? We’ve shared a vast majority of our wisdom in the sections above but keep scrolling to take a gander at our 30-06 buyer’s guide.
Or if you’re ready to order a box from our list, click
HERE to go back to the top.
Buyer’s Guide: What to Look for in 30-06 Hunting Ammo
The 30-06 Springfield is considered by many as the quintessential hunting round. It has served the US military through two World Wars and has been taking down deer, elk, and moose across North America for over 100 years.
It is the round that all other hunting cartridges are compared to. Often you’ll hear hunters make the comparison of, “Well is it any better than a 30-06?” Which tells you that the old warhorse has quite a long track record of putting game down humanely and efficiently.
As such, the 30-06 has seen a lot of work done on it to make it one of the best all-around hunting rounds on the market. With multiple bullet designs and grain weights, picking the best hunting load for your needs can be difficult for newer shooters or hunters.
But don’t worry! We are here to help you cut through all the hype and buzzwords to explain what you should be looking for in an excellent deer hunting round.
As experts in the field, we analyze a lot of hunting loads, from weight to bullet types and more. So, take some time and read through the following sections to learn more about choosing hunting ammo.
Deer Hunting & Weight Grains
Although the weight of the bullet affects numerous factors, including wind resistance, terminal performance,
ballistics, and expansion, shot placement and knowing your rifle always prevail over the “best bullet weight.”
But, for those curious, how do you know what weight is best for hunting deer? Well, the answer to that question is highly subjective, and for good reason! You’ll have to consider distance, how your rifle handles the round, and what you’re shooting (deer, in this case).
The lighter the bullet, the more muzzle velocity, and therefore, the faster it will travel. This creates for a flatter shooting bullet that is more forgiving or ranging mistakes.
On the other hand, heavier bullets tend to travel slower but are more resistant to wind drift and pack more kinetic energy.
If you’re trying to shoot an elk at over 500 yards, you’re going to want something that hits a bit harder to make sure you have enough kinetic energy to ensure a clean kill. But if you’ve got a whitetail in your crosshairs at 400 yards or less, you don’t necessarily need a massive bullet to get the job done.
For whitetail deer, hogs, or pronghorn, the 150 gr and 165 gr bullets offer a happy compromise between stopping power, lower recoil, and a flatter trajectory.
However, do keep in mind that your next deer won’t ask you, “What grain weight is that TTSX bullet you just shot me with?” Because if you’re using premium expanding hunting ammo and can put the bullet inside the vitals, the deer won’t be asking you anything at all!
Types of Hunting Bullets
You’ve surely seen a lot of acronyms online and on ammo boxes. But what do they all mean?
Hunting is a lot different than competitive or long-range target shooting. The goal isn’t just to hit your target, but to put down your quarry quickly and humanely. The hunting ammunition you choose needs to keep working after the initial impact.
So, it’s important to put a little more thought into your hunting rifle cartridges. To put it simply, match-grade ammo won’t cut it.
For example, you don’t want to use FMJ (full metal jacket) ammo for hunting. It’s typically a lead core bullet that won’t expand.
To further complicate things, match-grade ammo is typically loaded with Boat-Tail Hollow Point (BTHP) bullets. Although hollow point bullets are typically used for self-defense handgun ammo, these rifle bullets are designed for extreme accuracy and NOT terminal expansion.
To help you sort things out, we made a list of some of the most common hunting bullet types deer hunters utilize and why they are effective.
SP (Soft Point)
You’ll see a few variations of SP rounds. From Soft Point to Pointed Soft Point and the beloved Jacketed Soft Points, all are perfectly suitable for hunting deer. But let’s break down the differences.
Of course, you’ll find soft point bullets are just that; they have a softer lead core than other bullet types. Unlike FMJs (full metal jackets) which have a dense lead core,
soft points consist of a softer core with an exposed nose cavity allowing the bullet to expand easily. However, if a bullet expands too quickly, it will not penetrate, which leads us to jacketed soft points.
Like JHPs (jacketed hollow points), a JSP (jacketed soft point) is a jacketed round. Except, a small part of the lead core is still exposed. This design allows for both penetration and controlled expansion while also maintaining a high ballistic coefficient.
You will also see PSP, which stands for Pointed Soft Point. These bullets have the same overall design as soft points, except the pointed tips make them more aerodynamic and more accurate for longer range shots.
Polymer Tipped Bullets
These days, polymer tipped bullets are all the range for hunting ammo. The polymer tip not only provides a more aerodynamic bullet, but it also aids in expansion.
Bullets like the Barnes TTSX, Hornady SST, and Nosler Ballistic Tip utilize the tip to initiate bullet expansion. This creates a more uniform wound channel and puts down game more quickly and humanely.
Bonded Tip Bullets
A bonded tip bullet is one where the jacket is chemically fused to the lead core rather than pressed. The reason for this is better penetration. As per the Scirocco recommendation above, a bonded tip will hold together much better and control expansion. There are a variety of bonded tip bullets, they typically have a higher price tag, but they’re well worth the extra coin if you’re hunting or buying self-defense ammo.
Get to Know the 30-06
Before we leave you with nothing but a vast technical knowledge of the 30-06 (which we know you appreciate), let’s talk 30-06 fun facts.
To start, the 30-06 is a 30-caliber round. So, where does the -06 (aught six) come in? Well, the round was first produced in 1906. That’s right. The 30-06 simply means it was the 30 caliber round of 1906.
Before retiring into an American hunting cartridge, this round was used with the M1 Garand during WWII and in Korea. As a matter of fact, it was the military’s favorite rifle bullet for nearly fifty years. It was a favorite of Teddy Roosevelt, who took a keen interest in hunting (he left North America in 1909 and hit up Africa for a big game hunt).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the effective deer hunting range for the 30-06?
Most 30-06 ammo will be incredibly accurate within 400 yards. However, you also want to consider the muzzle velocity for an effective shot. If the round exceeds 3,000 fps, it may not expand. If it drops below 1,800 fps (excluding the Scirocco Bonded rounds), it also won’t expand.
Of course, do keep in mind that the effective range can vary based on your rifle barrel length. A longer barrel will result in a higher muzzle velocity thanks to a more complete powder burn than a shorter barreled rifle.
Therefore, if you’re using the Browning Gold Medallion lever-action rifle one day and a Ruger American bolt-action the next, you may get extremely different results.
Is the 30-06 a good cartridge for deer hunting?
Absolutely! The 30-06 Springfield has been bagging deer for well over a century and shows no signs of slowing down.
However, we can’t say that a deer will be able to tell the difference between a 30-06 Springfield, 270 Winchester, or the 6.5 Creedmoor, provided you select an appropriate bullet that expands and penetrates well. Smaller rounds like the 223 Rem can be used but many states prohibit them for deer hunting.
As stated previously, there are some 30-06 rounds that may leave you following a blood trail in the woods for hours. But as long as you choose one of the options we listed (or something similar), you’ll have an excellent hunting round.
What is a premium hunting bullet?
Premium hunting bullets are those that are manufactured specifically for controlled expansion and penetration. The term first reflected Nosler’s partitioned ammo because, before that, bullets didn’t exactly focus on terminal ballistics.
Today, several ammo manufacturers push the limits of imagination and engineer all sorts of ways to make bullets better for hunting. Premium bullets often have higher ballistic coefficients and are incredibly accurate. You’ll still find them with a common boat tail and spitzer design, but it’s what’s inside that counts!
Others love that they can purchase a few rounds and start reloading. No matter your preference, a premium bullet typically performs better.
Do manufacturers still make bolt-action rifles chambered in the 30-06 Springfield?
Yes! The caliber may be old, but you’ll find Ruger, Mossberg, Remington, Savage, and many others still make bolt-action rifles chambered in 30-06.
Is there a nickel-plated brass 30-06 hunting round?
Yes. Notably, the Sierra Gameking uses a nickel-plated brass case.

This is the second draft of a story originally written for and posted on
writingprompts here. I wouldn't mind having some feedback in regards to the pacing and characterization.
I
Aulus tugged at the string leading from his hand to the neck of a stubborn goat. The animal bleated at him in protest and tried to continue chewing whatever weed had drawn it's attention. The young man tugged again and his charge relented to follow him up the narrow stone steps leading to the temple.
Man and beast were both clad in white wool. Aulus in a tunic and robe trimmed in gold. His cloven companion in the well trimmed fur of an albino.
It was that pale trait that made the animal sacred. It had never suffered an empty belly. It had never known a chilling night. It had been put out to stud to produce more of its kind. And now, as the horizon blazed with the coming sun, the holy creature was led to a holy place to fulfill its ultimate purpose.
The young man led his bovid prize past the looming temple of pillars and incense and towards a mostly forgotten altar. The table of carved stone sat near the edge of a cliff. Below it was a city of whitewashed stone and colorful roofs. In the dim of morning light the fields beyond the cities walls were a black sea leading up to the mountain.
That looming giant of stone and slumbering fire sat directly to the east. The city would not know the light of day until the sun had climbed the giants rocky slopes to sit upon its peak.
"I'm sorry little one, but today's the day."
Aulus knelt by the animal and set to binding its feet together. Front to front. Back to back. He needed access to the goats' underside.
"Each of us has a duty. A holy purpose given to us by the gods. It's time for you to fulfill yours."
He heaved the animal up and laid it upon the stone surface of the altar. It hardly fought him. The two had mimicked the act repeatedly since the animals birth. They had trained for that moment. Still, it needed to be bound. Their practices had always ended before the ritual began.
The horizon glowed in daylight. Only the mountain blocked the sun's life giving rays.
"Look down upon me as I look across the veil. Guide me to the knowledge I seek. For this favor I offer this beast unto you."
Red poured over him. Smoke from the mountains peak tainted mornings light. It stained man and goat as though they were already covered in blood. The young man threw off his robe to bare himself to the morning chill. His was a thin body. Lithe. Clad in pale skin and capped in a mop of black curls.
Aulus took up a virgin dagger. The ornate blade had never before seen use. Its sole purpose, its only duty, was to be used for two cuts. One edge was for the goats neck. The other, its underside.
With a prayer the young man did the deed.
He plunged his hands into the hot belly of the still squirming animal. There he took hold of and withdrew its intestines. Long organs were held up to the sky for inspection. Aulus carefully ran the still living tissue through his blood soaked hands. It was as perfect as the beast to which it was attached. Only when the animal before him lay still did he close his eyes and open his mind.
The sacrifice was a key. A push. A careful way into hidden spaces. The intestines served as both map and path. They were a leash for two.
In a world adjacent to his own Aulus found himself walking again by the albino goat. It crumbled at the throat and belly and its guts turned to mush in his fingers. Only by drawing more intestine from the beast could he stay close enough to follow it.
The pair came down the cliffside in a single step to find themselves in the city.
"Not here." Aulus had said without moving his lips. "We must go beyond the wall."
Another step and his guide had brought him to the fields. There he saw men in armor hanging in the air like tapestries. They shimmered as he passed them. Each transformed from a young man to a fierce warrior to a corpse upon the ground. He walked among the future dead and inspected each of their unreal tapestries.
Aulus dared not look up lest he be blinded. And he dared not look down lest he lock eyes with something else. Something below.
"One survivor. One man left standing above the rest. A son of our city. Favored in the house Carina."
The figure in the tapestry remained impossibly dark, as was expected. Prophetic sight was blurry at its center and sharp near the edges. Secondary details could be predicted with precision. But the focus of one's gaze could rarely be seen clearly.
A silent bleat echoed in the young mans mind.
"Times about up, then. Thank you for your service, little one. I've seen all I needed."
Aulus let the intestine slip from his fingers and opened his eyes. He again stood before the altar.
II
Aulus and Gaius shared wine and bread in the private chambers of a little villa.
"So you're saying I'm invincible?"
"That's not how prophecy works, Gaius. I'm saying a favored son of house Carina will stand above the dead."
"Which means that, as the only member of house Carina taking part in today's battle, I'll be the last man standing."
"Which also implies literally everyone else is going to die. You might still die! You'd just be last!"
The larger and more muscular of the two men paused to consider the words of his friend. He then smiled and continued donning his armor.
"Gaius, I've done more than read the entrails of a goat. I've watched the movement of birds. I've thrown bones. I've read the stars themselves. If battle is met today it will lead to disaster. Calamity. A chain of events ending in legendary devastation."
"To which I will be the last man standing."
Aulus snatched up his friends horse haired helm.
"Thousands dead, Gaius! Thousands! There are only a few hundred soldiers in the coming battle. Who else might die for your petty conflict?"
Gaius remained quiet as he finished his preparations. When he had finally dressed in blue cloth and painted steel he approached his oldest companion.
"Give me my helmet, Aulus."
"Take a bowl of wine and some figs instead. Leave your helmet. Leave your spear and sword and shield. Make peace. Talk to them."
"You might be wrong."
"When have I been wrong before?"
Gaius gave a wide, handsome smile.
"Remember the mountain? You had the whole city up in a panic at the waking of the giant and what happened? Nothing more than a little burp of fire."
"That was more complicated than you know, Gaius. I did something to the mountain to stop it from erupting. I changed the future."
"If you're strong enough to wrestle a mountain to submission then why don't you join us in the field today? Change prophesy again? We certainly couldn't lose with you at our side."
Aulus threw the helmet into his friend's chest. The experienced soldier caught it with ease.
"That did more damage than you know, Gaius."
"You couldn't do something like that again, then?"
The slight young man lowered his eyes.
"I can't claim to know much about your strange powers. I have no idea what you see and do. But I have a sworn duty to uphold."
"Not the duty talk again…"
"What's your duty, Aulus? What is your purpose?"
It was a concept difficult to describe. His experiences were beyond those of his fellow man. Few among the mortal races – oracles and mystics and shaman – had seen the things he had seen. There were no words to properly describe it.
"My duty is to keep the other things away. Everything else is secondary to that."
"Then do your duty."
Aulus turned to leave. He only toom a single step before a strong hand caught his arm.
"Aulus. You are closer to me than my brothers and will forever be welcome in my home. I will always value your council. That you are so concerned with my safety marks you as my truest friend."
Gaius spin his friend around and took him by the shoulders.
"And the people of this city are lucky to have you watching over it, even if they don't always seem to deserve it. But there's no helping this. Neither of us rules this place and, even if we did convince those above us to try for peace, there's no guarantee those men beyond the wall will listen. They are just as set on fighting today as we are."
He took up his helmet and covered his handsome face in metal.
"The best each of us can do is their duty."
III
A frustrated mystic watched from a shaded corner atop the city wall as a force of his peoples best soldiers marched out to meet the enemy.
Enemy. The word hardly fit the men waiting in the field.
Those gathered beyond the walls were soldiers from another city within the empire. Fellow citizens. The coming bloodshed wasn't part of a war but a ritualistic battle to settle some minor political dispute. It was an attempt to avoid interference by a distant bureaucracy and satisfy the bloodlust that grew in times of peace. It was a chance for soldiers to grasp at what little glory they could find.
It was a foolish waste of life.
Aulus considered what his friend had said about joining them on the battlefield. He knew words of power and the true names of things above. He could twist his mind in unusual directions. Speak in impossible tones. Were he to take to the field the rest of the cities soldiers could stay at home. But such awesome, terrifying power came at a price. Few men in history knew as much as he did about the things beyond. Each of them would rather die than risk using such knowledge.
Portents of the future. Careful observations made while making as few disruptions as possible. That was the best he could give dearest Gaius.
The soldiers formed ranks and waited before the enemy while representatives from each side met. Aulus noticed his friend leading the left flank, an honored position. Gaius wasn't hard to spot. He stood a head taller than his cohorts and his horse haired helm was more ornate than the caps and buckets around him.
The representatives parted and took up their arms. Horns echoed over the field as the two small armies marched toward one another.
Aulus closed his eyes and pushed his mind from his body. He could hear feet pressing into earth. The heavy breathing. The shouting. The blows against shields and the screeching of blades against armor. The screaming. The dying. He pushed himself further. He could smell the sweat and blood. Further. He could see the flash of steel in the sun.
With eyes closed Aulus could watch the battle from among its combatants. Ranks had broken. He could see Gaius strike down soldier after soldier in a brutal melee. His friend hurled his spear, drew his sword and hacked at the so-called enemy. Aulus could see the opening on his friends right side. His shouted warnings came not from the mind in the field, but from the body on the wall.
The mystic could clearly hear the blade slicing through the flesh of his friends calf. The startled yelp of a great warrior as he fell to his knees rang in the ears of a far away man. And the gurgle, that blood choked squawk his dearest friend gave as another citizen of the empire drove a blade into his neck, that sound drowned out the entire battle.
The secret observer launched forward to catch his friend. The stone of the city wall met his hands. He grit his teeth. He wailed. He forced his hands through the wall and open sky to meet his eyes, ears and nose.
He knelt and pulled his friend up from the blood soaked dirt.
Aulus pushed himself further. More than just his mind. More than just his senses. More and more of the young man was forced to exist on the battlefield. He cared not for what ripples his actions might make on the surface of reality. Consequences be damned. When more of him existed in the field than on the wall he relaxed his mind and let the lesser part of him snap to meet the greater.
Gaius looked up at him. There was still life in his eyes though only the faintest glimmer. It was there for but a moment, one fleeting instant. Life passed from the soldier. Reason passed from the mystic.
"Fools…"
The whisper passed over the mystics lips and crept into the ears of those still fighting in the melee. That word carried with it a potent venom. Skin split. Tissues most sensitive liquified. No amount of clawing could dig it out. No amount of screaming could drown it out. Those closest to mystic fell convulsing to the ground.
"FOOLS!"
The booming shout peeled back metal and evaporated flesh. Freshly exposed bone was then blasted to dust. The battle came to a stop as all eyes turned to the young man, his bloodied friend in his arms, a dozen men dead around him.
In only a minute Gaius, handsome and mighty, had been reduced to a bloodied corpse. In only a minute Aulus had thrice violated the natural order.
The world shuddered around him. Ripples cast by his actions ebbed out to draw the attention of the things beyond. The things outside.
"You're willing to throw your lives away for nothing? Fine. If you're all so willing to die, then die!"
Ripples weren't enough to draw in a predator. He needed a splash.
Eyes flashed and a group of men screamed as their bones lengthened and twisted into grasping, choking vines. Those who remained in the left flank turned to run, only to be stopped by those behind. The men from the center and right who could not clearly see the horrors being unleashed upon the battlefield. With a gesture of his hand Aulus exchanged the runners skin with glass. Their attempts to escape only shattered the thin layer protecting their flesh from the world.
That display was enough to send the rest of the foolish soldiers running. It was also just enough to break the surface. To tear the fabric of reality. It was enough to cause a splash.
The world turned to a blur as Aulus wept into the body of his dearest friend.
IV
The duty of a mystic is to protect their fellow man from the things beyond reality. They calm disturbances in the surface of reality. They mend holes in the fabric of the universe. They do everything in their power to keep the things outside from looking in.
Aulus twisted his mind to force it into the other place. Once there he looked down and searched the murky depths. Lesser beings had already answered his call. They pressed upon the thin barrier between the real and the not. They squirmed their way through whatever pin prick holes they could find.
On the battlefield those beings of flesh and shadow crawled out of tight spaces. They emerged from beneath rocks and fallen bodies. From the spaces between a man's chest and his armor. From under the tongues of those few who held in their screams.
They scraped. They gnashed. They chewed. Everything they touched turned to paste, layer by layer. Aulus knew them to be bottom feeders. Barely thinking creatures that were almost omnipresent in the other place. He needed something more.
"Come on then!" The young mans throat produced tones both real and not. "Come and see this place! This world of dutiful fools. Come and show them what it means to die for nothing!"
Aulus locked eyes with something below. His words were as alien and unknowable to it as its own were to him. It pressed itself against the wound the mystics thrashings had left in the world and, with some perceivable effort, it forced its way through.
It came from behind motes of dust hanging in the air. The thing was the night sky animate. A dark, starlit mass that both crawled and flew over the battlefield. In its presence light dimmed, sound dulled, and everything, man metal and stone, withered. Whatever it fed on, whatever nutrient was vital to the unreal creatures survival, was also needed by real things to keep their shape. Everything it touched unevenly shrank away to be left as a smear of thin tissue upon the ground. Most unfortunate for those who suffered the creatures passing; the process was somehow not immediately lethal.
Aulus wept as the screams around him rose and fell. He pulled the horse haired helmet from the still body in his arms to again gaze upon his handsome face. The mystic held his lifelong friend tightly.
"Gaius, I'm sorry…" Words came between heaving sobs. "I should have tried harder to stop you. I should have tried harder to stop this foolishness. I– I should have joined you in battle. I'd have rather abandoned my duty to save you than to avenge you."
The world broke further as other things found their way through from beyond. Screams more distant rose to replace those of the now suffering soldiers. The things had reached the city.
"Aulus..." The familiar voice came from around and within the grieving young man. "Aulus, my friend. You mustn't do this."
"I–" Words twisted into a knot in his throat. "L-let them die."
"Aulus, please. You might think it a pointless death, and it might have been, but I died doing my duty. I stayed true to who and what I am..."
The implications of the dead Gaius' words crept up in the back of the young mans mind.
"It's too late. I've crossed too many lines. Done too much damage. I just… I just want to stay here with you."
"It's never too late, Aulus. Walk the path I have walked and you will find me beyond."
Duty. Aulus had a duty. He had taken oaths that now lay as twisted and broken as the men around him. Merciful tears obfuscated what he had done to the world. He could not clearly see what had become of the battlefield or what was happening in the city, but he could imagine what each blurry shape may have been. His gut twisted as imagination suggested what each shape might be.
Aulus closed his eyes, never to open them again.
"Gaius, my friend. I will walk your path. The path of duty. I will fix this..."
The young mystic laid his friend to the earth, stood tall among the twisted dead and forced his mind, eyes and arms into the other place. There he could see the damage he'd caused. He could run the idea of his fingers over the ragged edges of the tear. Physical laws had frayed like thread. Universal constants lay ripped and scattered. The wound he'd left in the world was grisly.
It was something he could mend, but the cost would be steep.
Aulus knew he would spend so much mental energy fixing the damage of his tantrum there'd be little left of him when he was done. Even then there were still horrors in the world, false things that had come through to explore the true.
He considered his options.
Imagined fingers took hold of realities tattered edges and pulled them further apart. The world ripped. It was a long tear that arced through the sky like an arrow. The sky quaked. The earth shuddered. The air itself howled and screamed as more and more of the real world was separated in what Aulus perceived as a clean rip.
His target was the mountain.
Aulus had long known the slumbering giant to be a waiting calamity. He regularly climbed to its peak to better see just how dormant it was. There was fire there. And ash. And pressure. So much pressure. But it was stable, he'd seen to that before with a prior violation of the natural order. One that had taken years to carefully mend. So long as nothing disturbed the mountain it would remain quiet.
The tip of the growing tear buried itself into dirt and stone. Somewhere deep below the surface of the Earth there came a rumble. A delicate balance had been disrupted. That was it. That was all it took. With one metaphysical poke the mystic had started something no man, monster or even god could stop. The mountain would wake with rage.
"Let those wretched things that stay here face the fury of the Earth."
Aulus slammed his hands in unusual directions to bring the clean edges of the tear together. Under his guidance the line separating the possible from the impossible mended as cleanly as it had torn. That repair wouldn't cost him much. Not when compared to what he would spend closing the ragged hole he'd created in his grief.
He pushed himself without regard for his own well being. Bits of the unreal were stuffed back outside. The edges of the tear were fused together. The things from outside gathered as their path home began to shrink.
"Back, back you fiends!"
A voice cut through the screams and howls and otherworldly sounds swirling around him. There was a grunt and the clanging of steel. A warcry most familiar.
"Aulus, I will hold them back! Do your duty, wipe these things from the Earth!"
The young man pushed temptation aside. He wanted nothing more than to open his eyes and look around for his friend. To see him moving, fighting, shouting, living. His minds eye could see him again embracing his dearest friend. His hands, both real and not, reached out in the hopes of again holding his friend.
"Aulus!"
Gaius was dead at his feet.
He'd died a pointless death. A foolish death. But it was a death he'd chosen for himself in the pursuit of his duty. Aulus would walk that same path.
More and more of himself was spent repairing the damage with each passing second. The wound closed. His mind fractured. The things around him wailed at the sound of spear and sword.
There came a vibration through the ground and an earthly sound mighty enough to challenge all the terrors from the beyond. The mountain had spoken. Though Aulus held his eyes shut he knew what he had done. He knew what was coming. It was not the peak of the great stone giant that had burst. Rather, the entire mountainside facing the battlefield and city had exploded.
Ash and rock and fire raced over lush fields and quaint farm houses. Those few horrors that had explored towards the mountain found themselves crushed and burned by the unavoidable reality that was the mountain. Unreal biologies and imagined matter meant little before such a demonstration of natural law.
Aulus meant little, too.
The wall of destruction obliterated his body in an instant. But still he worked. Flesh and bone were gone, but his mind and senses remained where he had stood to continue the task. Death would not stop him. No horrors or furious mountains would keep him from his duty.
A wave of scorching earth washed over the city. Merciful death for those who still somehow clung to life. Just destruction for those things that had no place in the universe. All the nightmares that had been made there were buried in stone and ash.
The damage had been undone.
First he had used his fears and insecurities. Then his unpleasant memories. Then his childhood. His family. Himself. Even Gaius. Aulus burned more and more of his own mind to fuel his work. When the task was complete he knew not what he had done or why. Only his duty as a mystic remained. Even that had started to unravel.
"Aulus..."
What was left of the young man was gathered in the embrace of a friend.

2023.03.20 21:08 Tropicanajews Why would ENT order immunoglobulin panels for 8yF with recurrent URIs?
8F, USA, 55in tall, 78 lbs.
My daughter had an ENT appt today. She's had recurring URIs for ~4 years. all of these are viral except for having strep and bronchitis twice. She doesn't seem to "get sick" (other than the strep/bronchitis events) meaning no fever nor any feelings of malaise. But she's almost always has a cough, she's often congested sounding, and snores almost nightly. She's trialed many allergy meds per ENT recommendations with no real relief in symptoms. We don't smoke at home, have air purifiers, don't burn candles or have heavily scented cleaning products. Nothing makes it worse but nothing makes these symptoms better either. This impacts her ability to sleep well, rest, read out loud, and play with her friends and she's rightfully becoming frustrated by this.
At the appt today, the PA stated that her tonsils look large during the visual exam but they were nothing to write home abt but would do the flexible scope anyway. After looking down the back of her throat he stated he was wrong bc one of her tonsils actually is large enough to obstruct her airway, her adenoids are enlarged, and her larynx showed signs of inflammation. He asked if she's been tested for asthma and if she's had a recent chest x-ray (y/y) and also stated he doesn't believe the tonsil is an emergency as of today so we could attempt to schedule the tonsillectomy for the first week of summer vacation (june 1) as long as symptoms don't worsen.
Before leaving he handed us a lab order to get some panels drawn to "check for inflammation" and nothing more. I didn't think to ask more questions or even look at the lab slip which seems ridiculous but it was an overwhelming appt and my daughter was not a super easy patient so I was basically blacked out by that point.
these are the labs: -CBC w/ diff -Vitamin D -IgG with subtypes 1-4 -IgA levels -IgE levels
Why would these be drawn for recurrent sinus/respiratory infections? I was expecting the order to be for a CBC and probably nothing else. If she does have an allergy to something would the Ig_'s point to what it is specifically or just kind of rule out stuff to help narrow in on ideas?

2023.03.20 21:08 Schoonsy From zero to decent sales in six months: a reflection (and could use some advice for moving forward)
Hi all. I launched my niche YA fantasy series last year, and have made some good progress. I thought it would be useful for me to reflect on the process and also get some feedback about where I might go from here.
Sep 2022 - March 2023 Overview: Three YA fantasy novels in a series + a prequel published on KDP Units Ordered: 760 (ebook, paperback, and hardcover - mostly ebooks) KDP Royalties: Approx. $1400 Direct Ad Spend: Approx $1100
I spent the ~$1100 on advertising between Facebook and Amazon ads. I was losing money at first but I think I'm finally getting close to a profit zone this year. There are other expenses I've racked up like MailChimp and Squarespace and ISBNs.
The ROI is really difficult for me to calculate. For example Amazon ads says I spent $600+ lifetime on ads, but only made $80 of sales. But I know many people seem to have went on to buy book two and three or the prequel in the series. It makes it nearly impossible for me to figure out if those sales are coming from Amazon or Facebook ads, so I'm left wondering how to prioritize my ad spend.
Basically what I did was set up a series website (not much more than a landing page, used Squarespace and it was very simple) with a pop-up that says you can sign up with your e-mail address to get the first book for free. Then I used Facebook ads to direct people to the website, which was driving 100-200 e-mail signups per week when I was at peak spending. I figured it was a cost of about $.40-.50 per e-mail signup, which I think is pretty decent. Then I use a MailChimp automation to walk readers through the series.
I'm using really specific targeting to try to market to folks who have read similar authors/series that the books are inspired by. I also tried some e-mail blasts like Fussy Librarian which seemed to urge a spike in sales.
I guess I'm just not sure where to go from here. The margins seem razor thin, and I sort of feel like a crazy gambler sometimes, like "Oh, I'll just throw a little more money at advertising and maybe I'll make some more sales and see the results I want!"
Any advice for moving past this area of treading water, making decent sales but not really making a profit, to push things in the right direction?

2023.03.20 21:04 JohannesMeanAd2 PeteZahHutt MCC Performances: Where does MCC 29 fit in?
Hello everyone! I hope you all loved watching this MCC as much as I did!
You may remember that in early January, I made
A post which ranked all 26 of the MCCs that PeteZahHutt had participated in based on his performance, ranging from the least good, to the most good. My opinions in that post remain pretty much the same two months down the road, nothing has really changed how I view any of them. What has changed though, is that MCC has come back, and Pete was in it, making that list obsolete! So I thought it would be fun to come back and see where his MCC29 performance fits in with respect to the others that he's done over the years.
DISCLAIMER [again]: I love PeteZahHutt, he's my favorite MCC player, and as with the last post, I am ranking these purely out of respect for who he is as a content creator and Minecraft player. I am not detracting from how insanely cracked he is (or anyone else for that matter).
If you haven't read that previous post, I recommend giving it a read for a more in depth analysis and my reasoning for these, but this was how I ranked the MCCs that Pete's been in last time (top = best, bottom = least good):
- MCC 7
- MCC 14
- MCC 17
- MCC 3
- MCC 5
- MCC 26
- MCC 12
- MCC 6
- MCC 8
- MCC 10
- MCC 13
- MCC 25
- MCC 2
- MCC 22
- MCC 21
- MCC 1
- MCC 4
- MCC 28
- MCC 9
- MCC 23
- MCC 19
- MCC 20
- MCC 16
- MCC 18
- MCC All Stars
- MCC 15
So, now for the all-important question: where does MCC 29 fit in?
As you all know, in this MCC Pete was on lime with team-mates KaraCorvus, Seapeekay, and SolidarityGaming.
In my opinion this tournament is among his top 10 best MCCs so far, and a big reason for why that is the case actually stems from his common "weaknesses" that he struggled with in 2022. Team comms and PVP were both a big step up this time around, especially with an impressive 9-kill-run in Sky Battle on Pete's part, and effective communication which led to his team placing 2nd in Battle Box and not completely falling apart in Grid Runners. Pete also maintained a more than impressive resolve with movement games, especially with an incredible near-victory on Journey in Rocket Spleef Rush, and somehow soaring to new heights on Terra Swoop Force in TGTTOS (not to mention 5/6 top 10s once more there). As with MCC 13, Ace Race was an unfortunate mishap, but there isn't as much tilt this time around, simply a lack of practice with tridents and route-studying (also...confusing the red boost with a green boost, but we'll gloss over that). Were it not for Grid Runners Pete could have taken 1st individual, which would be a great way to start 2023!
As for where it specifically ranks
for me, I'd place it in 10th, between MCC 10 and MCC 8. Unlike MCC 10, MCC 29 has
far less handholding, with a much stronger player roster and less favorable game order which for me makes it more impressive, but unlike MCC 8, it doesn't necessarily carry that "wow" factor in his
absolute best moments, it's just more consistently great than anything rather than a huge victory that other players keep making note of.
So that's Pete's MCC 29 for you! Let me know what you think, and of course I want to say that this is just my opinion and you're free to disagree if you're so inclined :) Have a great day!

2023.03.20 20:58 thekbob Game Collecting Guide & Tips - Spring 2023
Got inspired to write a bit about the current game collecting scene for folks to be aware of and perhaps strike up a general conversation on where it may be heading. My target is writing towards newer collectors, not the seasoned ones who likely have too much and really should work through that backlog… ಠ_ಠ
Disclosure: I collect, not invest. This discussion is for those wanting to have a meaningful game collection to play, share, and enjoy. I do not recommend buying into speculative asset markets as meaningful investment strategy; do so at your own risk. No links here are advertising or am I affiliated in any way; they are provided for reference purposes.
MODERN
If you’re into modern stuff (i.e., PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch), you’re likely going to be looking at the limited print scene (
limitedprintgames) for the harder to find titles, while you seek out other out of print or lower production releases from certain publishers (ex. NIS, XSEED, ATLUS, etc.). For the former, you’ll need to learn all about the
trials and tribulations of Limited Run Games and many other smaller print shops. The long story made short is all of them are significantly behind on delivery schedules and you should not anticipate getting anything you pre-order from them in any reasonable amount of time.
That’s right,
they’re pre-order only. A few may produce retail distribution titles, which may come to some retail channels, game stores, or Amazon, but the idea is you are placing money down on an unknown quality product delivered at an unknown time in the future.
Limited print purchases are always caveat emptor. You’re likely to get your games, but having titles come in
incomplete,
broken, or
otherwise less-than-desired quality is a possibility. And these companies have less than stellar records for
customer service.
Regarding the lower production run publishers, you are likely going to see a lot of games feature a brief release period, a handful of sales, and then a dried-up retail channel. Once the retail product is gone, prices tend to stagnate and then sharply increase when an update, sequel, or otherwise general interest is sparked (ex. gaming influencer publishes a video on “hidden gem” game).
If you’re into niche titles, from
licensed games to
B-to-AA releases, you’re going to have to decide whether you commit early, buy the dip, or get stuck paying a higher price. There is less the ability to time the market as an influencer video, news update, etc. type event at any time that spurs interest. You could wait until it cools off, but you could be left out high and dry.
Recommendations: - Shop imports. From Play-Asia to eBay, there are many ways to find other-than-ESRB English capable copies of modern games at a fraction of the price of North American (NA) copies. Sometimes, going for imports is the only way to get physical copies. (Fun fact: LRG blocks the ability to import their Asian published titles!)
- Reprints. Many of the niche games over the past few years, to include NIS and KOEI TECMO releases, have seen reprints from outlets due to the high demand and higher aftermarket pricing. Sites like videogamesplus.ca run pre-orders on the titles and is a great way to get a copy at MSRP. (Fun fact: LRG does not retain exclusive publishing rights to games, so rare limited print titles do release retail copies later!)
- Get a different version. The Switch is currently the price king for game copies, but do you really need that portability? And if so, there are now many ways to get stream your PC and consoles to other mobile platforms, from smartphone apps to third party hardware (SBCgaming). Buy that PS4 copy for half the price.
- Go digital. I know, you want to collect, but when the title in question is on sale for $3 on the eShop/PSN/XBL versus waiting 18+ months for a limited print version or $100+ for a retail copy, perhaps its best to just play the $3 digital version while you bide your time for 1, 2, or 3 to become available.
RETRO
This will be more broad than modern and more of a tips and recommendations based upon major manufacturer.
Microsoft. - Due to the lower amount of niche titles on the Microsoft platforms, the long tail of support for backwards compatibility, and how old the systems are right now, collecting for Microsoft system is the most affordable. However, when things get really weird, expect to need to either modify a North American console or import a foreign one to play those really desired copies (ex. shmups from Japan).
- The future of collecting for Microsoft systems may be interesting given their push for subscription-based gameplay services, but for anyone collecting physical copies, you can still get most of what’s available on the retail market for reasonable prices. However, the drawback is that most limited print and import-based games do not appear on these systems, therefore you’re really only looking at NA releases. But you can get Blynx!
Sony. - With the specter of PS3 and PSVITA stores going the way of the PSP in the near future, there was a price bump for both which has since cooled. If you’re looking to buy into those platforms, doing it sooner than later is likely wise as tps3he next announcement would likely have a price jump. The systems are region free, so getting import copies is really great, but some that never saw US releases are fetching the highest prices.
- The PS2 is an odd lot. A high selling favorite likely entering into its prime of nostalgia (or soon), the game prices are not bad, but a lot of the best stuff has seen remakes and remasters. The niche titles, such as horror or JRPGs, are still commanding high prices. The one thing on the horizon that could potentially change the demand picture for these games is the advent of an HDMI modification for the PS2. The PS2 has no direct digital output, making it harder than its brethren to get up to snuff on modern displays (ex. Carby for GameCube). With a well-known mod team on the cusp of perhaps producing such a product, we could see more demand enter into the market soon.
- The PSP is an odd duckling. As the store is closed, there is no legitimate means to get digital-only titles or DLC. Additionally, the utilization of UMDs means these systems are more prone to degredation and failure (let alone spicy pillows). There is still high dollar titles, mainly JRPGs, but a great deal of the most famous titles have been ported, remastered, or remade, that the PSP seems unlikely to ever pull the highest of costs or demands. It is a great system to play, with each model having its own feel and features, so its probably a safe system to keep on collecting or get into it now.
- The PS1 enjoys a long, healthy tale due to nostalgia, PS3 enabled HDMI-based playback, and a library that had a broad reach of casual-to-hardcore. Whether you were there for Spiderman, Tony Hawk, Spryo, Crash, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil or Kings Field, Clocktower, Tomba, No One Can Stop Mr. Domino, Pepsi-Man, Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You, the reach of the first PlayStation means there is a constant demand for many of these titles. Remakes and remasters have helped quell some absurd pricing, but the orphaned titles are still going to cost your hundreds of dollars. I would not recommend getting into PS1 unless you got cash to light on fire, have a PS3, and absolutely need to have the titles on your shelf.
SEGA. - Listen, if you’re going to collect SEGA, you’re already that person. No offense to my fellow GENESIS kids, but if you’re getting into collecting SEGA stuffs, you already know your uncapped Game Gear from your SEGA Nomad.
- The Dreamcast falls a bit into the PS2 dilemma with either the best things being ported or no real easy way to use on modern displays.
- Everything older is going to require a lot of time and effort to understand the eccentricities of Saturn, SEGACD, and Genesis variants, what’s a fair price on Snatcher, and how high you can get your tower of power.
- And if you know what a Master System is, you’re 100% not the audience of this post. And you probably read ukresistance.co.uk.
- You know who you are already.
Nintendo. - In the exact opposite of SEGA, I would expect a lot of people to get into Switch collecting and start to look backwards. The Switch being a convergence of Nintendo’s two major pillars (RIP GBA), we will tackle the past along those lines.
- For their home consoles, the Wii U has troubles, most of which is either a diminishing reason to own one or the inability for it to function any longer. It is the best way to play Wii titles on a modern system, so it is a reasonable investment to have one for the overlap of those two systems. The Wii, in similar fashion, has seen many titles leave it, but a few notable games remain, along with novelties (play more Boom Blox everyone). Prices have been pretty flat for both systems, with a low interest versus the older Nintendo consoles. Will that change? I have my doubts.
- The GameCube is seeing a renaissance. With many ways to get it plugged into modern displays (at least models with digital output), new methods of playing your library from removable memory cards, and a prime nostalgic crowd, the prices on GameCube are creeping up, with several obscure and/or fan favorites costing hundreds of dollars. I would not buy into GameCube at this time, unless you plan on just having the hardware and enjoying the library, as it were, not physical game collecting. You can always go for neat variants, like developer models or the Panasonic Q.
- The SNES and NES are even weirder markets, in my opinion. Loose carts remain relatively affordable, but due to speculative investing, the cost of CIB or sealed copies are absurdly overpriced. While out of print, the mini classic consoles remain great values even at higher than MSRP pricing to have a legitimate, physical means to play titles, whereas the older systems are going to either require an older display or some additional hardware to get working on a modern display. You will likely also have to do maintenance on the systems, from replacing cartridge slots, cleaning cartridge pins, and replacing cartridge batteries. There are many “official” services that may be of variable reputation, but there are lot of single-man shops around the various game collecting groups offering system and game repairs. Even the ability to whiten that yellowed SNES!
- Basic games for these older cart systems are pretty cheap as long as you’re not chasing perfect condition or super niche titles that saw limited print runs. Some services are making factory quality reproductions, which has its own legal concerns, but I am not your parent and won’t judge you.
- Oh, and the N64? I don’t know much and it seems kinda pricey. Better get used to learning how to judge grades on analog sticks.
- Nintendo handhelds are seeing a massive price spike, specifically the 3DS and the closure of the eShop. Absolute worst time to buy a 3DS. If you need one, get a Japanese model and perform a few slight software alterations to enable NA region games to work. Otherwise, this is the worst time to collect 3DS. The Nintendo DS also has a lot of high-priced titles, but systems remain relatively affordable. Since there is no easy way to emulate these systems with their touch screens (not talking to you PC types…), the DS/3DS remain the best way to play their respective systems.
- Aside, I think the DSi XL looks better playing DS games than playing DS games on a 3DS XL variant.
- Double aside, the “new” 3DS line is the name, not the condition. So, you can have a used “new” 3DS. I would recommend getting that version, but just incase you might be confused.
- For the GameBoy systems, while games remain relatively affordable except the usual JRPG/niche games, the hardware is seeing a renaissance as many single-man shops have popped up offering various case, screen, battery, and function mods to the system. Want an OG DMG GameBoy with a backlight in crystal white? You got it! Want a solid aluminum body GBA SP with no hinge? It’s available. Do you want only half a DS Lite to play GBA games on only? GBA Macro. A lot of fun can be had in the GameBoy era scene, would strongly recommend it!
GENERAL STUFFS
- Repros vs. Knockoffs. Popular games, like Pokemon, are high demand, high-cost items that are on hardware that is very easy to make fake copies (aka knockoffs). If you are not certain of how to tell, do some research, finding a gaming buddy, or only buy from reputable shops (GameStop is not one of these…). On the other hand, are reproductions; these are sold honestly that they are recreations of older cartridges or disc-base games (sometimes they are new releases for old systems!) These are always going to be caveat emptor, but I personally enjoy getting physical copies of my favorite romhacks or unreleased titles to have as discussion pieces. Just make sure you understand what you are buying!
- CRTs. No one makes them anymore and they will all die someday. You can spend a little or you can spend a lot. Not all CRTs are equal, with PVMs being the most desired, but that takes you down the route of RGB modifications, SCART connections, and pin mods; if you followed none of that, just get a CRT from your neighbor’s garage sale. The glow of phosphors is nice, and some purists want that smudged look, but ain’t nothing wrong with RAW PIXELS.
- Accessories. A lot of controllers can be fixed or even use modern adapters for wireless play. It all depends on how you enjoy the systems ergonomics design and how affordable, accessible, and clean the accessories are in your area or online. Swapping out analog sticks and batteries is pretty easy, but if it’s filthy, is it worth it to you to…
- Clean filthy items. A great way to save money is restore the items you find, as missing labels, rental store stickers, or little Bobby’s name in black sharpie all decrease the value. If this doesn’t bother you, remember that you should work on things unplugged, isopropyl alcohol in small doses, and perhaps ordering a special screwdriver set will help you enter into more esoteric systems. Swapping out HDDs in systems like the Xbox and PS3 are likely things to come up, as well. Plenty of guides on YouTube to help you clean anything, and unless it’s a rare system, I would recommend learning how to do it yourself and save some money!
- Grading Games. I recommend not to, but if you absolutely have to do it, I would use anyone but WATA. There are many places to buy slim plastic cases or even high-quality acrylic cases if you want that look at a fraction of what you’ll pay a “gaming expert.” If you really need a score, just print up the output of a random number generator from 7.2 to 9.8 and slap it on the case. Likely just as accurate of a process.
- Skip the filler, stick with killer. Do not feel pressured into buying “must have” games for systems. The only must have games are the ones you must have. If you don’t like Zelda titles, but love Mario, then do not feel the need to compete or complete a set of a series you don’t like or will not play. A lot of collectors get burnt out by trying to get everything all at once. I recommend starting out with a small wish list for one or two systems and really get the games you want to play first. Backlogs happen, but make sure they’re all killer, no filler!
That’s about the end of it for me. I will edit any information in that folks want to see (or remove any errors). Appreciate for reading and happy collecting!

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods has gone from man to myth to legend. Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone. Also known as ?????? ???? Production companies : Warner Bros. Pictures. At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Shazam! Fury of the Gods would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so on.As Shazam! Fury of the Gods neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above). “I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's Shazam! Fury of the Gods.) “And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there, too.So that's what I meant by the resetting.Maybe 'resetting' wasn't a good term.only one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise . "By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie."And we made him this powerful. There's nothing so wrong with “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero. It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naive delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Shazam! Fury of the Gods” offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewis—yes, they really did love him there—had a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry."Shazam! Fury of the Gods " could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'—it's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length. In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman.

Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods has gone from man to myth to legend. Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone. Also known as ?????? ???? Production companies : Warner Bros. Pictures. At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in Shazam! Fury of the Gods would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so on.As Shazam! Fury of the Gods neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above). “I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's Shazam! Fury of the Gods.) “And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there, too.So that's what I meant by the resetting.Maybe 'resetting' wasn't a good term.only one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise . "By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie."And we made him this powerful. There's nothing so wrong with “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero. It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naive delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. Shazam! Fury of the Gods” offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewis—yes, they really did love him there—had a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry."Shazam! Fury of the Gods " could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'—it's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length. In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The cameo is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film. “They kept that all the way under wraps, and I didn't know until maybe a day or two before the premiere,” he recently said Shazam!

And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so on.As Shazam!

Quick reminder about the two characters
Robin Ryger worked for Robb during the Five Kings War.
Not only he’s the one who escorted Cleos Frey. He’s also a very useful tertiary character, because GRRM uses him to “break the ice” between Jaime and the readers when he allows the Kingslayer to display his proverbial sense of humor in early ASOS:
In his day Ser Robin Ryger had been a notably tenacious fighter, but his day was done; he was of an age with Hoster Tully, and had grown old with his lord. When the boats were fifty yards apart, Jaime cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted back over the water. "Come to wish me godspeed, Ser Robin?" "Come to take you back, Kingslayer," Ser Robin Ryger bellowed. "How is it that you've lost your golden hair?" "I hope to blind my enemies with the sheen off my head. It's worked well enough for you."
Little note for those who like analysis: Jaime's humor works only when we are in his POV. Outside of it, more often than not he looks like an asshole because 90% of the POVs that interact with Jaime... hates him!
Guess who are the two obvious exceptions? Of course, you are right. And still, both Cersei and Brienne fail to see his hilarious side most of the time.
GRRM also uses Ryger to break the ice between Jaime and Brienne. Jaime’s ego would never allow him to admit he’s helping someone straight to their faces, so he uses ser Ryger as a convenient excuse.
"You're hard enough to look at with a nose. Besides, I wanted to make the goat say 'thapphireth.'" He chuckled. "A good thing for you I'm such a liar. An honorable man would have told the truth about the Sapphire Isle." "All the same," she said. "I thank you, ser." His hand was throbbing again. He ground his teeth and said, "A Lannister pays his debts. That was for the river, and those rocks you dropped on Robin Ryger."
Desmond Grell is an old knight from Hoster Tully's retinue.
Whenever Edmure leaves Riverrun, be it for battles or marriages, Grell rules in his absence. Noteworthy that whenever a Tully shows up (like the Blackfish in AFFC), he immediately steps aside. He's an old, loyal man.
Notice that both Ryger and Grell have something personal against Jaime: while Ryger was humiliated and sinked in ASOS (thus failing his mission against the Kingslayer), Grell did actually lose his squire because of Jaime.
Beside their possible beef with Jaime and their loyalty to Robb's cause, they have another thing in common: they surrendered to Jaime, but also asked him a very peculiar request.
Two men did not choose to depart with the others. Ser Desmond Grell, Lord Hoster's old master-at-arms, preferred to take the black. So did Ser Robin Ryger, Riverrun's captain of guards. "This castle's been my home for forty years," said Grell. "You say I'm free to go, but where? I'm too old and too stout to make a hedge knight. But men are always welcome at the Wall." "As you wish," said Jaime, though it was a bloody nuisance.
The black vow and Jaime's honorable decision
Jamie takes Riverrun while avoiding a bloodshed, and when the two ask to take the black he complies. Of course, because that's the honorable thing to do.
This is perfectly in line with Jaime's newfound AFFC trajectory (his campaign in the Riverlands is a masterclass as far as peace and honor go, but also a neverending sequence of mistakes for the Lannister’s cause) and what he chooses to do right after is absolutely coherent: he lets them keep their weapons and sends Raff the Sweetling & co. to escort them to Maidenpool.
He allowed them to keep their arms and armor, and assigned a dozen of Gregor Clegane's men to escort the two of them to Maidenpool. The command he gave to Rafford, the one they called the Sweetling. "See to it that the prisoners reach Maidenpool unspoiled," he told the man, "or what Ser Gregor did to the Goat will seem a jolly lark compared to what I'll do to you."
Speaking of Maidenpool, Jaime also sends there Ronnet Connington, with different orders:
Jaime had charged Red Ronnet with the task of delivering Wylis Manderly to Maidenpool, so he would not need to look on him henceforth.
Let’s consider for a second who this three prisoners are: not only the first two are Stark/Tully loyalists to the core, they are also witnesses to the real numbers of the Lannister force. There's a reason why Brynden Tully was comfortable keeping the Riverrun siege until Jaime threatened him with Edmure's life. And guess what? Brynden Tully is still roaming free (more on him later).
But what about Wylis Manderly? Well, do you remember that chilling speech from Titus Andronicus Wyman Manderly? The one that ends with…
I drink with Jared, jape with Symond, promise Rhaegar the hand of my own beloved granddaughter … but never think that means I have forgotten. The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer's farce is almost done. My son is home.
Well, Wylis’ newfound safety is why Wyman’s bloody revenge starts.
But since Wylis reached White Harbor, where in the world are Grell and Ryger?
Tracking down the movements
In ADwD epilogue we know that Randyll Tarly met both parties.
"How many men-at-arms accompanied Ser Ronnet to the city?" Ser Kevan asked. "Twenty," said Lord Randyll Tarly, "and most of them Gregor Clegane's old lot. Your nephew Jaime gave them to Connington. To rid himself of them, I'd wager. They had not been in Maidenpool a day before one killed a man and another was accused of rape. I had to hang the one and geld the other. If it were up to me, I would send them all to the Night's Watch, and Connington with them. The Wall is where such scum belong."
But then, in TWOW Mercy, we know that Raff the Sweetling moved from Maidenpool to Braavos to guard Harys Swyft. This means that his escort mission was over.
This opens up for few possibilities. Ryger and Grell (from now on G, for brevity) could only end up with one of four options:
- Case 1: reach the NW by going straight to Eastwatch by the sea.
Given Davos' mentions about tempests and Cotter Pyke’s letter about dead things in the water, chances are G are dead. I find it very unlikely, both on a narrative level (who would waste a ship to go to Eastwatch by the Sea just for 2 passengers? This is nothing like Stannis’ case!) and on a meta level (after 5 books I can safely tell you: GRRM doesn’t work that way)
- Case 2: Raff & co. killed them.
This would be my 100% go to option... if only Jaime hadn’t explicitly warned Raff against doing that.
Jaime's a hundred things, but he's not a windbag: he talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Raff’s a hundred of horrible things, but he's not completely stupid. If there’s one thing that Jaime never lost through the entirety of Asoiaf, is the credibility of his threats.
And again, if G were dead I bet Raff would have mentioned it with some joke in the Mercy spoilers.
- Case 3: they took the Kingsroad, and then went for Winterfell.
But in that case, who escorted them? Raff's in Braavos.
- Case 4, most likely: they travelled with Wylis Manderly.
Which means they are now at Winterfell. It couldn't be any other way, Winterfell is in the middle of the safest road to reach the Wall.in the North, via White Harbor For the Stark sympathizers, this means huge info. As we all remember, there's a conspiracy going on against those who betrayed Robb Stark...
And to top it all, Wyman Manderly already proved that he has some info he kept for himself (see: ADWD Davos IV)
Funny thing is, even if G were serious about their vow to go to the Wall, they would be stuck with Manderly anyways: climate conditions don’t allow them to leave Winterfell in any case!
Why does it matter?
Because now we have a potential link between the North (Manderly & co.) and the Riverlands (Brynden Tully, and possibly the BWB, if the theories of Brynden coming in contact with them will prove to be true).
Jaime's doing the honorable thing, once again, is risking to harm back the Lannister cause.
Thanks for reading.
