2024.05.29 01:14 FriendsForLife27 Mix with ozempic

So I must confess I was taking ozempic for a few months and the highest dosage was 2mg. I was able to lose 35 pounds from 215 to 180. Due to other circumstances, I stopped taking it. I’m now back up to 207. I just recently started zepbound on its lowest dose but I’m afraid it might take forever to get back to 175 or lower. I’m even more scared that it won’t work due to tolerance or something else related. Can someone help me?

2024.05.29 01:12 Tobi131313 [F]: My Necron Cryptek/Dynasty, Menenba

Hello, this is my headcannon for my personal Necron Dynasty. I would appreciate any critic and suggestions for improvements in the comments. This is inspired by the "Undying One" Necron character and the Geth from Mass Effect.
Menenba can be described as an intelligent, ambitious, ruthless, and prideful individual which means one thing: he is a dime a dozen within the ranks of the Cryptek order. Being one of the newest aspirants before the biotransference it wasn’t even certain he would be awarded Cryptek status for the process. The Nebuset Dynasty was a minor house in the region of the galaxy that would later become known as the Ghoul stars and were it not for their good relations (i.e. subservience) with the Atun Dynasty they wouldn’t have been allocated as many resources for higher levelled biotransference as would be appropriate for a Dynasty their size. This coincidence allowed Menenba to escape the fate of being a simple Warrior, which along with two other happenstances are the cause of his rise to infamy.

The second was a foolish and rash decision made by the young Cryptek after the War in Heaven had concluded. Even through the war had provided ample opportunity to rise in rank, now on the eve of the Great Sleep it seemed his position would be locked for all of eternity. Wishing to escape his fate and rise to the position he deemed worthy, he manipulated his chamber to unlock after a couple years, and not the millions as was ordered by his Majesty, the Silent King. As such, only 65 years, more of a nap to a Necron than the Great Sleep, he awoke alone and unattended.

Now, no Necron of higher status, worthy of his position, doesn’t suspect that a rival or an ambitious underling would use such an opportunity to slit their throat while they are defenceless, so all Great Chambers had their unique protections. But assassination was a last resort on Menenbas mind, his goal was to use the gained time to study, advance the Dynasties technology so that when the mighty Phaeron awoke he would see his worth and raise him through the ranks.

With this intention he started to study, but soon he realized the dangers of his self-imposed exile on his neural network. One way to fight this danger was for Meneba to permanently disable the inbuilt Chronometer within every Necron. Therefore, he could never know how much time had passed, so the millions of years couldn’t crush him underneath. The other solution to this problem and to help him in his work, he started creating sub minds, parts of his brain working on their own problems, with which he could converse and discuss solutions to problems in his studies as they gained rudimentary self-consciousness. His only companions being the mindless Canoptek Constructs keeping the Tombs in order, thousands of years passed, and Menenba made a discovery. Canoptek were simple minded, but with a few modifications their neural processing power could be increased, so while they could still fulfil their duty, they could also help him process calculations. After this point it wasn’t long until he started offloading entire sub-minds onto the constructs to free up his own processing power. What started as a dozen Scarabs soon turned to hundreds, then thousands of the simple beings, all linked to a big neural network.

With this advancement in intelligence Menenba started the study and development of arcane sciences. Things that seemed eternally out of his reach he now had within his grasp, be it the design, calculation or construction of planet killers or phase shifters, technologies kept secret by his teachers for their superior position. Still, they slumbered, but Menenba thought with glee to the day they would awake, see his marvel, and bow before him.

In this state, during the testing process for a Singularity Generator in the year 59.050.378. b.c. as a more efficient power source, the third happenstance occurred. A catastrophic error in the Generator caused Menenba and 56.2% of his workshop to be disintegrated by a microscopic black hole. The speed of the incident gave the Recall Protocols of the Cryptek no time to activate, resulting in his ultimate demise. Now this would be the end of the story for Menenba, 87th adept of the Technomancer Order of Nebuset, were it not for his sub-minds.

As designed, they were in constant transmission with the main body, but as that one could no longer be connected to, they started to connect with each other. Individually they weren’t much smarter than animals with basic instincts, but with enough connecting they could recreate, no, even surpass Menenbas cognitive functions. In fact, taking the total calculation power into consideration, the loss of Menenba only represented a 4.6% decline in functionality. All his memories were stored and shared between the Constructs, and therefore they did as they were designed to do: they went back to work, to study, to experiment and to advance themselves until they were perfect.

Without Menenbas guidance, or limitation depending on your perspective, they started to spread, converting more Canoptek to their cause, going from simple Scarabs to Wraiths to even including the guiding intelligences of the Necron star ships. Millions of years passed, and the new consciousness evolved. It still saw its fundamental purpose in developing itself, and therefore the Necron species to a higher level through scientific means.

After having assimilated the Tomb Mind, the guiding programs of the World of Nebuset itself, they, now calling themselves Menenba, decided to expand beyond in search of more resources and facilities to hold all the new processing subunits they created of themselves. The only problem was the Old Enemy, the accursed Aeldari. Calculating their survival chance, if being discovered, to be under acceptable levels, Menenba choose a different path. Instead of openly claiming Worlds for the Dynasty as Necrons should, they would hide the acquired worlds until they were ready. Millions of sub-minds spend thousands of years searching for more and more candidates. The target were worlds that wouldn’t be missed by the Aeldari Empire. Exoplanets outside of Solar systems or Planets about to be destroyed, by supernova or falling into a black hole for example, were the targets. Those they phased out of reality into a pocket dimension, where they converted them to manufactures and processing plants for their growing number.

Timeless, Tireless, and relentless as they were, Menenba continued for dozens of millions of years until the time of the Great Awakening came. On Nebuset the Necrons were shocked to their deepest core. The World had a mind of itself, none of the machinery obeyed them any longer. The Crypteks cursed the name of Menenba when his foolishness came to light, but nonetheless they were trapped in their own citadel. Still, Menenba had no hatred for their kind and offered them newly build, untainted ships to sail to new worlds.

Unsure what to do the nobility spend years in arguments within themselves and Menenba, until Namrut, Cryptek of the Psychomancer order, made an everlasting decision. Long he had felt the change, the degradation of his mental capacity and the desire for fresh blood. Unable to fulfil his desire and not wishing to be killed by his rivals he choose a third option. He offered to merge his mind with Menenba, for one, he thought it might help keep the Flayer Curse at bay, but more importantly he hoped to gain control of Menenba, becoming the leader of the Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Menenba, seeing this as an opportunity to evolve and gain more knowledge agreed, and so it was that Namrut became the first to ascend/ascend/lose himself, for Menenba was as big as a ship, a world, a star system and trillions of sentient minds upon them. Instantaneously Namrut was consumed by the minds, but contrary to the expectations of the Crypteks who learned of his plan, he wasn’t dead, instead his knowledge spread instantly between all minds. Problems bothering him for centuries were solved in nanoseconds. For even as Namrut became a part of Menenba, so became Menenba part Namrut, and both gained by becoming one.
Even more extraordinary, the processes Namruts own mind were composed of, while they were affected by the Flayer Curse, Menenba managed to isolate and delete them, but Namrut’s memories survived. This was a way for Necron nobility to escape this most dreadful of fate, if they were willing to give themselves up. Now it should be stated that Menenba isn’t a Hive Mind with a single will enforcing itself upon all sub-minds, instead it functions as a union, with every sub-mind capable of their own calculations. Of course, the objective of all these calculations, the evolution of Menenba, was the primary goal of them all, but for the path to achieve it different sub-minds came to different solutions. As such Menenba developed signals communicating at quantum speed, so that the whole collective no matter how far apart, could come together to discuss, weigh options, and finally settle on one decision concerning relevant topics.
Seeing the opportunity Menenba presented a schism opened on Nebuset. While many argued that this was an abomination and joining it would mean the death of the self, others argued it meant achieving a higher state of being, and it was the next logical step after biotransference. The news spread and the discussion widened to all surrounding Dynasties. Matters of what should be done with Menenba sparked outcry, all the while more and more nobles, sometimes even whole Dynasties joined them willingly as a last solution against the spreading of the Flayer Curse.

Now in the 42nd Millenium Menenba has reached a level of expansion unseen before, dozens of Tomb Worlds joined the collective, with billions of Warriors and Constructs piloted individually by processes but lacking a central figure for communicating and negotiating with the other Dynasties or species, for Menenba has no qualms to trade with species seen by other Necrons as inferior, they decided to create a face. Now, should a conversation require it, hundreds of Scarabs or a pair of Wraiths, just two name two examples, would give up their individual form, their necrodermis flowing together to form the appearance of a simple Cryptek, and which form better than the origin of them, the young Menenba given life again, now to serve the same minds he created.

As such Menenba grows each day, either by assimilation of more minds or traditional expansion, all for the goal of developing technologies only the Technbomandrites of Legend possessed, and finally, to surpass them, and advance Necronkind both technologically and evolutionary to the next stage.

2024.05.29 01:12 Amlosa Console command/mods for romance - Act III

So I’ve just started Act III and I didn’t realise that beginning this act will lock you out of romance if you’re not partnered already. I hadn’t realised it was so linear.
Is there a mod/console command that can essentially trigger the Act II romance? I’m trying to romance Astarion and I completely missed both of his events in Act II, and don’t want to loose hours of gameplay. Wondering if anyone has found anything that works?
I don’t really care about seeing the Act II scene, just want to be in the position as if it had triggered already in Act II.
Thanks!

2024.05.29 01:11 Nue10101001 Changes I want for 3.25

  1. No mandatory league mechanic.
  2. New league mechanic exhaustive tested before official league starts. Could be tested as a form of “Event league”, to have enough time to balance mods, enemies, rewards, and avoid new league item introduction during the league as 3.2x.1 or 3.2x.2. And also avoid mid-league nerf.
  3. Make eldritch mods for weapons, shields and let those currencies work for them. Introduce elevated mods on non-body armour items.
  4. At least 6 scarab sockets on map device. Would be better to have 8 and unlocked from each type of t17 map completed.
  5. Rebalance the strength of boss-model enemies from t17, make their damage acceptable in map and more in line as spectre.
  6. Make back to basic more stable, ~50% more mod effect. Cap downside of some map mods, such as chance to avoid elemental or damaging ailments, enemy aoe and projectiles, block chance, speed (both all enemy and boss limited types), reduced action speed for recent skill used, player less aoe, reduced maximum resistance and resistance penetration.
  7. Make reduced curse effect work on the mark from marked for death t17 mod!
  8. Significantly nerf the mod strength of t17 to make it a transitional between 84 bosses and uber bosses. Or just let uber bosses to drop t17 since t17 is far more difficult than uber bosses, and also give trash uber bosses with no meaningful drop some useful things (yes, I mean shaper, cortex and sirus). If not -
  9. Give uber bosses meaningful drops back from deleted keystones, such as 100%(or higher) more chance to drop orb of dominance, sirus can drop awakened supports, cortex can drop 3 extra 3-synthesized items, 200%(or higher) more chance to drop forbidden flame and flesh jewels (cause no mod permitted for them). And some more, such as dropped influenced items can have a chance to have elevated mods, drop several items with searing exarch/eater of worlds mods which could sometimes be exquisite or perfect, awakened supports dropped from uber maven are rarer (roll 2 and drop the rarer). Also make at least one 84-limited unique useful, at least half of uber-limited unique useful, at least 1 of uber-limited unique powerful.
  10. Give basic drops back to t16 (or lower) maps, 10 maps without a chaos dropped is not a joke. Nerf the drop buff from t17 mods to half or 2/3.
  11. Drop the whole uber boss tickets rather than the fragments.
  12. Combine harbinger shards. Introduce divine shards and maybe lock shards, cause there has been mirror shards.
  13. Move influence reforge to 500-1500 blue, add add/remove influence craft.
  14. Move trans gems back to blue print, introduce more meaningful trans gems rather than trashes to fill the webpage and say “hey, we’ve made so many interesting gems!”. That’s not interesting at all. Also put these trans gem retrans, gem to prism, add gem quality, exceptional support and awakened support gem conversion as the gem blueprint reward, and would be better to be as some types of currencies. Get labyrinth enchantments back and rebalanced, redesign glove enchantment and most of the belt enchantment. 2 glove/boot/belt, 5 helmet enchant per time.
  15. Turn the grand spectrum drop rate back!!!
  16. Bring veiled chaos back, such as a guaranteed drop of Catarina. Give safehouse meaningful drops or just delete it, and rebalance the intelligence acquisition.
  17. Make enemies from blight drop items (slightly lower than normal enemies) so that it’s not a waste of time to stay stationary for minutes. It should also work for ritual.
  18. Enrich the reward type of the sanctum, introduce veiled chaos, lock and something else into it. Rebalance drop rate of the unique relics or change the unique item acquisition. Rebalance the buffs and afflictions, as many of them are not inline.
  19. Rename focused ballista to focused totem, and make it work for all types of totems, add more casting speed on support. Rename the earthbreaker Support and make it works for all melee skills. Balance the basic damage and speed of different of totems and the totem conversion supports. Make all basic totem speed the same as ballistas, make all basic totem number the same as ballistas, introduce more totem number notables for melee and spell totems. Rework ancestral bond.
  20. Basic content scarabs should be combined into the scarabs which increase the number of the content. Have no idea for those 1-limited contents...
  21. Give reduced mana cost mod back, or decrease basic costs of all skills by half to 1/3 value.
  22. Left-click binding back. 2-3 extra sockets someway.
  23. Abyss jewel mod simplification.
  24. All unreasonable mod frequency rebalanced. Decrease the tier number allowed for high item level items. Decrease the cost to hit t1 and slightly increase the cost to hit a perfect roll.
  25. Buff or rework some ascendancy passives of raider, gladiator, guardian, assassin.
  26. Block and dodge are outdated and need to be buffed or reworked.
  27. Dual wielding attack is too weak compared with weapon shield. There should be more useful melee skills designed in dual strike and viper strike form, which allow significant dps increase due to sacrifice of defense.
  28. Get that which was taken back, and mods rebalanced.
  29. Let some new interesting change replace the turning rare item (with influence for double corrupt), make it more worthy of being corrupt by vaal orb or double corrupted.

I know I asked for too much, but there are a lot of things need to be changed now. GGG rushed too fast in recent leagues and ignored too many things.

2024.05.29 01:07 Personal_Archer_571 I need help figuring out my sisters future.

Hi, autism. I am new to reddit and I am not autistic. I just graduated high school in the top of my class and I plan on going to a close collage next year while still living at home. My sister is 21 years old and has some form of autism that I have trouble understanding. Here is how I would describe it:
She is somewhere between levels 1 and 2 discussed in the wiki. Sometimes her abilities vary. it can be difficult. along with autism she has depression and I notice bipolar tendencies. She also has seemingly uncontrollable eating fits where she will sneak into my room, mom’s room, or grandmas room and eat anything junky. she would eat pudding powder, brownie mix, she’s stolen candy from my room after 10+ times of everyone begging at her to stop and we even started charging her money every time she takes our food. this leads to mom yelling at her causing highs and lows in her character and this ultimately has lead to my sister down a spiraling downhill to depression. she sleeps almost all day everyday. and stays up at night. she often sleeps in till noon unless she has work or school. this is really difficult for me to describe as you can imagine. Around other non-autistic people my sister is very much a level 1. she has a few non-autistic friends and she works at a local restaurant folding cloth napkins around silverware. my dad is a redneck and has parties in the woods where she rides a four wheeler around all night. she functions so much better around other people rather than in private. she’s been in am independent learning program at school but she just graduated a few weeks ago. she is much happier after work when i pick her up. other times like today she goes into total shut down mode. all she can say is mom is a bitch and she don’t want to go to moms house. she just wants to sit and be sad. she got yelled at earlier when i wasn’t home because she refused to take something down to the basement for our handicapped grandma. (grandma just moved in with us btw)
So between my mom’s borderline mental abuse as well as mom’s lack of initiative to help my sister, I am asking for help getting my sister to move out. Grandma has tried to help her lose weight and do more things but she just can’t. I don’t care what other advice you have to say. my sister needs to move out. because of her varying intellectual abilities, i don’t know what exactly to research for her. i wholeheartedly believe she belongs in a home for the severely austic or anything that extreme that limits her ability to socialize with non-autistic people or other high functioning people.
she has laziness sometimes where she won’t wipe her butt or clean up the kitchen or the bathroom or her room. one time she wore her pajamas for months on end without washing them it was horrifying.
again, because of her drastic levels in behavior and ability i really don’t know what to do.
Sometimes i think im the only one to wants to really help my sister. I want to her to move out and find some sort of home to live in. Does anyone have any ideas on where to send her? Would it be best to try out a assisted living home for mentally challenged people and see what she thinks? Are there any nice places that anyone might know about or understand to be appropriate in northeastern ohio? Thank you anyone who wants to help. I don’t like seeing my sister waste her life away. Also, sorry if I misunderstood directions or reedicate, I just want to know if anyone can relate or help me out at all. Thank you all!

2024.05.29 01:05 ChannelEqual1387 Last minute luggage transfer option?

Hello! I am traveling from NY to start the WHW next Tuesday, this is my first multi-day hike ever- my itinerary is planned for 7 days. I am staying in hostels the entire way and not camping. I am currently planning to carry my pack the entire way, however I have a hip injury that is entirely unpredictable and using luggage transfer may make all the difference, but I really won’t know for sure until I’m on the trail. Is it possible to arrange for baggage transfer on short notice, or do most/all companies require advanced registration for the entire route?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

2024.05.29 01:03 Environmental-Bar421 DHgate Order Galaxy/Arsenal

DHgate Order Galaxy/Arsenal
Latest order from DHgate arrived here are some of my first impressions of these kits:
To start off all 3 kits the material is comfortable but extremely thin as you can probably see on the Galaxy kits. The Galaxy kits are both a size large and fit perfect. The Arsenal kit is a size M but also fits how I like it.
Galaxy 2012 home kit: The crest and adidas logo are stitched. The MLS patch is also stitched on but that stitching is really rough. You won’t be able to tell from a distance but up close it’s really noticeable. I didn’t know this kit would come with the MLS cup sticker on it but it did however it was applied pretty poorly and has some creases and feels like it will fall off pretty quick.
Galaxy 2007 home kit: crest and adidas logo are also stitched on this one. Collar is a little small especially for a size L. Would rather it be tight than loose however.
Arsenal 03/04 home kit: Crest and Nike logo are stitched everything else is heat pressed. There is a small crease on the O on the sponsor logo which is noticeable up close. This kit has the most stitching issues out of all of them but not a lot. Kit feels solid. This is the first kit I’ve gotten from anywhere with a name set and it came out pretty good. Seems pretty aligned to me.
I’m not an expert on these kits so if there’s anything missing from any of them lmk. Can also send links to these kits if interested.

2024.05.29 01:02 Soggydude45 aerobud the airbud of base

want to share a gem with you, the name of the token is aerobud aka the airbud of the base network. this crypto is based of the 1990 airbud movie and is the meme token created for the aerodrome community and base community. the coin isnt just a meme token but 1% goes to dog shelters along with donators.
facts about aerobud from what i gathered
team locked liquidity at start, renounced the contract, only 5% total spread across 4 team members. clear communication/updates on all socials, reddit, discord, telegram etc, great community on discord. top whale holds 7% but the team has stated he is in contact with him and is committed to the project and will ladder out at higher market caps. strong marketing, airdrops and ads/ meme awards.
come check it out, the project looks solid and good be a great contender as meme coins are hot right now. aerobud is available on Uniswap, this is one of the few meme coins with locked liquidity and looks like it could be a 8-10million market cap soon! they are on reddit discord Instagram and telegram

2024.05.29 01:02 Bridgette_writes [QCrit] Adult Fantasy Romance - LIKE MOONLIGHT (80k)

Hi folks,
I'll appreciate any feedback on the query letter. Have also included the first 300 words - thoughts?
Dear [agent name],
LIKE MOONLIGHT is a queer (m/m) adult fantasy romance novel. It is 80,000 words and stands alone with series potential. Fans of the cosy worldbuilding in Travis Baldree’s Legends & Lattes and the fluttering queer romance and remote forest setting in Emma Denny’s One Night in Hartswood will enjoy this book.
After centuries of fighting, witches and werewolves call a ceasefire to negotiate a peace treaty. Paxton – an ambitious witch as arrogant as he is talented – and Callum – a renowned though reluctant werewolf warrior – are given an important job: traverse the wolf pack’s territory borders to create an enchanted map to bind the treaty.
Though thrilled to be trusted, Paxton is dismayed: beastly werewolves might enjoy weeks in the wild, but Paxton is only comfortable with metaphorically dirty hands. Conversely, Callum is eager to leave pack politics behind and enjoy an assignment in the tranquillity of nature… until he meets pampered Paxton, whose misconceptions about the barbarity of werewolves and endless whining about his blisters threaten Callum’s famous cool.
Under the leaves of the enchanted forest, Paxton and Callum save an injured unicorn, confront vampires, battle a wyvern, and – hardest of all – learn to work together. As they move past old prejudices and hasty first-impressions, their feelings for each other blossom into a magic of its own. But while steamy nights and soft hearts might flourish in the wild, away from prying eyes, out of the forest things won’t be so simple. With a tenuous ceasefire hanging in the balance as the peace negotiations progress, a cross-species romance might be the thing to sink the treaty… or save it.
I live in [country] with my wife and two very cute, very round cats, and spend my spare time powerlifting competitively, though mediocrely. I have a PhD in [discipline] and regularly publish academic research on [field] in scholarly journals.
Thank you for your consideration,
[name] (she/her)
First 300 words of manuscript:
Paxton strode up the wide, stone steps leading to Raedeon City Hall. It was the middle of the night, but the city was bright as always. One moon hung low in the sky and the other sat high. Both were full and radiant. The flickering torchlight lining the stairs reflected off his polished dragon-leather boots, and his heels clacked commandingly with every step. With his purple cloak and puff sleeved blouse, he cut exactly the kind of figure necessary to accomplish his mission: respectable, debonair, and, most crucially, handsome.
There was no room for error. He’d schemed and sleuthed for an entire week and devised a fool-proof plan, all by himself. What he was doing was risky, and he hadn’t been promised a reward. He’d likely get a little something if he succeeded, a small boon or a paltry sum of gold, maybe even favourable assignments for the next decade. While a material reward would be nice, that wasn’t why he was taking the risk. Succeeding in this mission would do immeasurable good for his reputation. He’d stand head and shoulders above his peers and be the obvious choice for promotion, and he wanted the recognition of his greatness like air.
They’d all realize what he was capable of soon. He could hardly wait.
He pushed open the heavy wooden doors and stepped inside. The foyer was brightly lit by a mixture of flaming sconces and magical glow stones purchased from the local witch coven some centuries ago, casting the entryway in warm tones of flickering yellow and green. Paxton scanned the room until his eyes alit on his first target. She was hard to miss. Her glowing pink wings fluttered idly behind where she sat at an ornate wooden desk. Fixing a charming smile onto his face, Paxton patted down the non-existent wrinkles on his tunic, flicked the lock of hair resting over his forehead so that it lay at a more rakish angle, and sauntered over.

2024.05.29 01:02 CantaloupeOk5151 Will I (26F) ever find “the one” and get married?

So far in my 20s all I have experienced dating wise was bad relationships where I wasn’t able to see the red flags or I flat out ignored them (thinking I could fix him) or sleeping around with guys who never want more than that (mostly in my early 20s) My most recent relationship ended a few months ago and it completely destroyed me. My ex made me believe no one else will ever want me in that way. I’m still hurting from this relationship but doing my best to move on. I’ve finally accepted that it’s over and he won’t do anything to fix the damage he’s caused. It’s so hard because I loved him and thought he was the one I’d marry, now I am starting to believe he was right and I’ll end up alone. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m still grieving my relationship or if guys just don’t find me attractive/dating/marriage material. Almost everyone around me is getting engaged, having kids, moving in with their significant others, etc. I am happy for them but I can’t help but constantly think when/if that will happen for me? Im only getting older and the dating scene is terrible. My friends make jokes that I’ll have to wait for everyone to get divorced to find the right guy.
I have a great job, I’m decent looking and I have very little to no baggage. I know exactly what I want in a relationship from constantly failing at them the last few years. So why is it so hard for me to find “the one” or simply keep a relationship? Any advice or answers are appreciated.

2024.05.29 01:01 F0rceOne Cant run proper resolution on my ASUS G14 laptop!

Was fumbling through graphics settings after I booted the game for the first time and it defaulted to 1280x720 and wouldn’t run fullscreen. I wanted to set it at 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 with a 120 FPS cap, but there are only 16:9 res options locked at 60 FPS.
I changed my GPU output to 0, hoping for my dGPU, where I did in fact have FPS cap options and 16:10 res, but its running on my iGPU and can’t get more than 25 FPS anyways. How do I set my dGPU so the game is playable but get the resolution and frame rate settings for 16:10 and unlocked frame rates? It’s an ROG G14 with a Ryzen 9 6900HS chip and a Radeon 6800s card.
Thanks in advance.

2024.05.29 00:58 TheMadScientyst What is the most realistic future for Bloodborne?

Like most of you, Bloodborne has been one of my favorite games for many years and have been in hopes of something…anything new that is Bloodborne related to come. It has been so long since it released and obviously is still an exclusive capped at 30fps. I have always wondered why there hasn’t been a sequel, pc port, or even just an upgrade to fps. The game did sell very well right? Even before I ever played Bloodborne I would always see it mentioned somewhere and have always known there are many diehard fans.
So why hasn’t there been any kind of news…I mean anything Bloodborne related? Maybe I’m biased and not looking at the bigger picture of the gaming business but I would bet money that if anything Bloodborne related released it would sell extremely high. Even at the least if it was upgraded to 60fps and that’s it I believe it would generate good revenue. I think if they only did a pc port that would be an insane amount of sales by itself. Don’t get me started on if they ever make a sequel.
What is stopping them? Legal issues over the IP? Studios already being too busy with other games? What is really the reason behind it being left alone?
Imagine at the Game Awards or something similar we are revealed a trailer for a Bloodborne sequel with a future release date as well as a mention of a Bloodborne remaster and pc port at an earlier date. I believe it would be beneficial for anyone who is involved with the IP to go through with it because I see no way of how it wouldn’t generate an absurd amount of hype in the gaming community. It honestly seems like there would be too much money left on the table to not touch that IP again.
I personally am hoping there is plans for a remaster and sequel but it’s been pushed back because of a reason like FromSoftware has just been busy with other games and hasn’t figured things out with Sony yet. I do not want this to be the last Bloodborne content ever made. There is probably a lot that I have missed if it has ever been discussed of why we haven’t seen anything new for Bloodborne but what do you guys think will be the most realistic future for the IP? I’m confident we will get “something” one day but it is upsetting of how long it’s been shelved and would prefer to not wait another decade for more Bloodborne.

2024.05.29 00:57 Cute-Jellyfish1876 Hear me out

M22. To say I’ve been struggling to find work since November of last year is an understatement. I’m honestly not surprised. Whatever I get would be my first actual job and have 0 experience other than working as a filmmaker, and we all know nobody gives a shit about that. I am at the desperate point where I would happily start lying in my applications and my resume. Not even saying I have 2 years of catering experience is helping for fast food places so I just wanna know if this idea I have is good or stupid.
I could say I have 5+ years experience as a server, but some applications and interviews literally ask for details about where you worked and such, and it looks suspicious to say “I have 5+ years experience but I won’t tell you where I worked hehe, also don’t fucking contact my supervisor plz”
So what if I say I worked at some place that has been permanently closed for a while? Example…Yeah I worked at Marie Callender’s in Lancaster, CA for 6 years. Reason why I left? The place fucking closed that’s why. If they actually go and investigate and research…who are they gonna contact? Are they seriously gonna do an FBI investigation to look for who was the previous supervisomanager of a Souplantation that closed 3 years ago just to verify I actually worked there? If so, in how much trouble could I get?
Idk…as you can see I’m pretty desperate. I’m open to get downvoted and flamed if this is a stupid idea, but I’m at the point where I would do anything. My bills are overdue and I need to SURVIVE.
Thanks in advance

2024.05.29 00:57 Thin-Beyond7797 Won’t let me start job because I’m on crutches

I have a summer job traveling with a band doing photography for 3 months. The job would require walking around a being able to be active.
I signed the contract back in January, mid May hurt myself, and the gig starts second week of June.
They are saying that they would not let me work if I am on crutches due to the fact that it would be an inconvenience to them.
Are they allowed to do that? TIA

2024.05.29 00:55 FactoryReboot Is a 5 year ARM worth it these days?

I think rates are going down rather than up. Not excited about locking in 30 years at these prices. What’s the usual discount you get on an arm for the fixed rate period?
Wife and I want to live in LA for 3 years or so to try out her voice over career. If it doesn’t work by then at are leaving. If it does we’d want to stay at the house.
Would an ARM be perfect for this? Walk away and sell the place if we want to leave or refi to a 30 year if we want to stay?
Also hoping to get the payment lower until her money starts flowing in. Could this help there?

2024.05.29 00:55 Individual_Style_116 I “butt dialed” our alarm system today.

I hate days when I just “spiral.”
I’m a teacher, and it’s after school. Kids just left.
First, I forgot my Apple Watch at home. So, when I misplaced my phone, I couldn’t make it “beep.”
I needed my phone because I had an appointment after school but I couldn’t remember the time.
I rushed panicked until I found it, figured out my appointment was in 20 minutes, then rushed there.
I got there like 10 minutes early and my gas light was on. I also have two doughnuts short of what I need at school tomorrow. So, I stopped at the gas station to get both.
When I got back to my appointment, my phone alarm went off. We have an app for intruder alarms at school. I click it off and walk to the door of my doctor’s office.
It’s locked. My appointment is tomorrow.
Also, I “butt dialed” our intruder drill (after school hours, thankfully) and everyone in our district got a message that I set it off. My principal and coworkers start calling me asking in I’m okay.

2024.05.29 00:55 Far-Call-1710 I don’t belong in my own home

I own my house, it’s a three bedroom trailer home. I currently am renting out one of the bedrooms to a family friend, and she invited someone to come rent out my third bedroom. The person she invited is friends with both of us but now they both take over the house and I’m stuck in my bedroom because it feels more like their house than mine. I can’t tell them that though because the original roommate isn’t really close enough to me and the other one was in an abusive household, which is why I agreed to let her move into the third bedroom. Another problem I have with this arrangement is that I have 2 cats and a dog, I kept their things in the extra bedroom so they could have their own space. I had to move the cats litter box into the living room and they both complain to me that it’s in there. The only other place I could put it is my bedroom but I had to move the dogs crate and all their bedding and toys into my room already. So it seems like I’m paying all the bills and the mortgage and everything just to be stuck in a small bedroom with three animals. I’m not allowed to see my lizard or snake because the new roommate has them in her room and won’t let me in to see them. I suggested moving them to the living room so I could care for them but she refused and even put an electric lock on her door so I’m unable to see them. This fact bugs me the most because I’ve had the lizard before I got the rest of my pets and he’s at the end of his lifespan. I want to be able to love on him before he goes as he’s been in my life since I was 12.
