Had this idea bouncing around in my head about the little ferret guy, Etholin Esila. I figured with him being a 'merchant lord' he'd want to start cutting deals with Emma once the initial curiosity and amazement over Earth tech would have passed. Not sure where this is going, if anywhere, but just wanted to get it out of my head and onto 'paper'.
Thanks to u/DndQuickQuestion for helping with feedback on earlier drafts.
Afternoon Transgracian Academy of Magical Arts
The hulking minotaur loomed menacingly over me. "Crawling along the floor suits you well, Merchant Lord Etholin Esila!” it boomed in an intimidating baritone. “Merchant Lord, pfah! Even a mangy cur such as that Mercenary Prince has a legacy of valor and martial prowess behind his dubious title, but you?”
An accusatory finger was jabbed in my direction. “Nothing but puffery and bluster to buttress your status as a glorified shopkeep! Your ilk claims to broker fair trade between the Realms, but those with integrity and honor recognize the deceit you employ to conjure false value from nothing." It was difficult to tell if Lord Auris Ping's tirade was aimed more at myself, the Esila clan, or the concept of inter-realm commerce in general.
At the moment, I was more concerned with herding my scattered belongings back into my satchel. While rushing to my next appointment, I had the dubious privilege of colliding with this mountain of a brute. Naturally I was on the losing side of that contest, and was sent tail over head to the floor, scattering the contents of my school satchel across the polished granite. Not one to pass up the chance at a crass display of dominance, Lord Ping had launched into the rant that everyone in earshot was currently enduring.
"Look at you, scrabbling on the floor to fetch your little trinkets, a fitting match for your base and covetous nature!" Fairly pedestrian, as far as character assassination went. I’d been called far worse while helping Father with trade negotiations, sometimes at sword or stave point. One had to develop quite a thick hide when engaging in cross-realm commerce. Especially with many realms having rather… absolutist opinions about the value of goods, like Lord Ping here. But I had zero interest in contesting his assertions, despite how idiotic they were.
Haggling or arguing with Pronarthians was a singularly wretched experience. They were infamous across the Realms for their single-mindedness and a compulsive need to have the last word that bordered on lunacy. I didn’t have the patience for the endless ingratiating flattery required to bore through such stubbornness. If that wasn’t enough, a gentleman of my stature also had to consider Pronarthians’ sizeism; specifically their intrinsic respect for the larger and taller races.
And that was merely the average Pronarthian! Arguing with a belligerent lout, accustomed to deference as Lord Ping? I'd sooner try my hand at flying out the nearby window. At least the loamy soil below would give me a fighting chance, or a jagged rock would grant me the mercy of a swift end.
Instead, I busied myself putting my things in order, taking special care with one item in particular. It was a set of memory crystals I received from the Earthrealmer, Cadet Emma Booker. It was part of a ‘transdimensional cultural exchange pilot program,’ as she had described it with her nation’s peculiar bureaucratic jargon. I had previously conducted similar transactions in my initial dealings with Cadet Booker, and it was those first tentative steps that convinced me to make Cadet Booker a full-fledged premiere trade partner of the Ocean Breeze Trading Company, the pride of the Esila clan.
The myriad tomes and treatises from Earthrealm, such as the riveting "The Wealth of Nations," amply demonstrated that Earthrealm had an extremely sophisticated understanding of commerce, finance, and logistics. But it was the ‘video archive footage,’ transferred onto memory crystals for ease of viewing, that convinced me at a visceral level that these Earthrealmers were a sound investment. I felt it on my whisker-tips, as the commoners back home would say.
"May I offer a helping hand, Lord Esila?" inquired a familiar voice. I looked up to see a scaly, clawed hand extended toward me. “And perhaps a sympathetic ear? After all, that was a rather nasty bit of slander from Lord Ping, would you not agree?”
Wonderful. This nonsense again.
While I had been lost in thought contemplating Ocean Breeze’s latest windfall, Lord Ping seemed to have lost interest and resumed going about his business. Taking his place, as always, was Lord Qiv Ratom, ever ready to sift through the rubble of Lord Ping's latest ham-fisted antics for personal gain. "You will find that my views differ considerably from Lord Ping's. I, for one, admire the manner in which you extract value from your trade partners. After all, does it not require skill and cunning to convince the customer that your wares are worth far greater than their true value? Such nuance and subtlety is lost on the likes of Auris Ping, content to strong-arm what he desires from others."
I paused for a moment, at a loss for words. His tone suggested his 'praise' was sincere, but only stoked my ire further. What in the thrice-damned Hells did he think he was accomplishing? Did he really think that telling me, "Well, I still regard you as a thief, but I APPRECIATE your thieving nature, unlike that uncouth lout!" was going to win me over? Dealing with parties with this attitude to commerce and trade was tedious at best. But ever since making acquaintances with Cadet Booker, whose people's understanding and appreciation of commerce rivaled the Nexians, dealing with the likes of Ping and Ratom was nigh UNBEARABLE.
I rattled off the usual rigmarole we used at Ocean Breeze for clients we wished to keep at arm's length. "With respect, Lord Ratom, the value of the goods we sell is determined by the customer's needs and circumstances. The merchants of my clan arbitrate prices taking such factors into consideration. We see it as our responsibility to provide equitable trade that is not only beneficial to all parties, but also provides fair compensation for the tradesmen involved in executing the transaction."
"But of course, it is as you say," replied Lord Ratom with his signature oily charisma. "Fair and equitable trade, according to the customer's circumstances. Thus, you are but a facilitator of the Fates, a most humble tool of Destiny itself. And one who collects a respectable commission, at that," he continued. He stopped short of winking conspiratorially, but the impish grin playing across his features was a fine substitute. Every mote of my being wanted to shake him until he shed his skin. He continued, "Your... humility aside, my admiration of your clan's cunning and resourcefulness still stands. The insight of one so skilled is always welcome within my inner circle, should you wish to grace us with your presence."
It took all my restraint to not tell him into which orifice he could jam his charity-case friendship offer. After all, I'd been keeping far better and more like-minded company of late. Company that the Baralonian lord was likely dying to ingratiate himself with, given how Cadet Booker and her peer group had taken pains to keep Lord Ratom and his entourage of gossips at arm’s length. Instead, I left the smug reptile’s offer dangling in the air, twisting in the wind for a few agonizing moments while I finished tidying my things. Rising to my feet, I finally replied, "An offer most generous and kind. I will of course, have to consider the circumstances of both customer and merchant. Surely you would not begrudge a humble servant of Fate for waiting for the most auspicious circumstances?" Even at my best, I was hardly a master of rhetoric, so crudely tossing his words back at him was the best I could do.
"As you please, Lord Esila," replied Lord Ratom, finally sensing his return on investment wouldn't be worthwhile, leaving me alone to stew in the hallway. Such was the game played among the aristocracy. I looked down at the bundle of memory crystals in my hands, contemplating on their origin, and how Earthrealm could change how the Esila clan, perhaps even all of Rontalis, played the game.
I continued on my way, thoughts heavy once more.
Evening Ocean Breeze Trading Company, Elaseer Offices, Private Chambers
The Elaseer branch office of the Ocean Breeze Trading Company was a modest affair by Nexian standards, a second-storey affair nestled on the edge of the warehouse district. The restrained yet tasteful trappings were a calculated decision of the Esila clan, proprietors of the trading company. A fine balance had to be struck when it came to outward appearances, after all. Some measure of artful decoration was necessary to appease the Nexian eye’s obsession with projecting might and wealth, but not so much that it would attract too much attention.
Only in the private chambers would a guest finally see some personality in the decor, and a generous measure at that. These were the chambers of the nobleman assigned stewardship of these offices, Lord Rikad Esila, uncle to Etholin Esila. Colorful murals with aquatic motifs adorned the walls, highlighted with tastefully matching lacquered panels featuring artwork done in mother-of-pearl inlay. Similar decor was present in the dining room, where uncle and nephew were currently enjoying what Rikad thought would be a leisurely dinner.
CRACK!
The sharp sound rang out loud and clear in the small room, the source being a steamed crab claw, dashed to pieces on a smooth river stone placed between the two diners at the table.
Lord Rikad's branch of the Esila line hailed from the wetlands of Rontalis that opened up into the sea, and they regularly partook of the ocean's bounty. In antiquity, they were known to smash shellfish and other armored morsels against stones they carried with them to lay bare the tasty prizes within. This dining set configuration was a modern interpretation of that old tradition, with a communal stone for guests to open their shellfish.
Of course, such a homestyle service was available solely behind closed doors and shuttered windows and only then to Rikad and his close associates. Here in the Crownlands, such a 'barbarous and unseemly' artifact would be frowned upon by the prevailing Nexian culture and their gold and mother-of-pearl seafood forks that split the shell with a simple tap. But young Etholin labeled that languid dining as a boring conversational backdrop, inferior to the communal excitement of a well-placed strike.
Etholin’s spirited strike had a strong measure of anger behind it, a fact not lost on Rikad. "Steady now, lad. The aim is to crack the shell, not grind it to powder," chided Rikad, an otter clothed in well-tailored robes that melded practicality with muted elegance. He looked aged and gray compared to the ferret-like Etholin, clad in sumptuous silks and embroidery that assertively declared the young lord’s wealth and standing. Etholin hung his head in embarrassment. "Apologies, Uncle. I lost the reins of my temper."
"Well now, aggravated enough to make a mess of my dining set," observed the older gentleman. "It takes a great deal to get your humors churning like this, from my experience. So tell me lad, what urchin needles you?"
"Ugh, more Academy theatrics, what else? With Lords Auris Ping and Qiv Ratom being today’s star players."
"Ah, The Dunce and the Devil," remarked Rikad, nodding with understanding. This wasn't the first time his nephew had related the pestilent pair’s antics. "What two-act farce did they put on this time?"
"Ping opened with the usual blather about merchants being honorless tricksters, with Ratom swooping in to capitalize on the aftermath. Textbook at this point, really," explained Etholin, waving his hand dismissively. "It... it was just the way those two put forward their thoughts. In isolation, each would have been merely irritating. But with one following the other, I was ready to grind my fangs to nubs! To be cursed as a thief on one side, only to be praised as a thief on the other! It was like they were wielding ignorance as one would a greatsword, and managed to cut me with both edges! Gods, I wanted to THROTTLE the idiocy out of them!"
"‘Tis to be expected," said Rikad in consolation. "A great many noble families, even entire Realms at times, came about their status through force of arms or magical prowess, and thus they hold a dim view of commerce as a profession. It is a routine chore for us, navigating around them to find those with less absolutist views on the worth of goods, or more forgiving definitions of 'honest work'. An Adjacent Realm that does not cheat its creditors by altering the weight of its coins or debasing them with base metals and insisting otherwise while hiding behind the safety of their portal is worth its weight in gold."
"Sometimes I feel we ought to cut them out of our affairs entirely and deal with the Nexians, directly and exclusively," mused Etholin bitterly.
"Now, now, though your anger is justified, that's hardly reason for it to take hold of your mind's rudder," cautioned Rikad with a frown. "The Nexians have well-developed philosophies on trade in line with our own, but we only have the resources of a single Realm at our disposal, while the Nexians can leverage the bounty of their never-ending and mana-rich lands. Dealing solely with a behemoth that can devour us with a thought, no matter how frictionless those dealings are, is hardly my idea of a beneficial partnership."
Etholin sighed. "As always, your counsel is sensible, Uncle. Like I said, I lost the reins of my temper in a moment of weakness."
"Don't be so sour on things like this, lad. Our base nature gets the better of us at times, that is the animal within that we all struggle with. That you acknowledged such a lapse and took back the helm is proof that civility prevails. But, enough moping about!" Rikad jumped out of his seat with a little pep in his step. "Looks like we need to guide you back into good spirits, and I know JUST the thing for gentlemen such as us," concluded the elder merchant, twirling his whiskers playfully.
"Somehow I think a night at the theater or music halls will do little for me, Uncle. Or are you suggesting we seek respite at the bottom of a tankard?"
Rikad snorted derisively. "Oh please, I'm not senile yet, pup! Since when has SPENDING money brought joy to anyone worthy of the Esila name?" That made Elothin perk up a bit. Rikad continued, "No, I speak of a PROPER good time, I speak of..."
"COMMERCE!" they cried out in unison, fists held aloft in a triumphant pose. "Does that mean..." began Etholin.
"Indeed, we've just received the latest prototypes for the centralized mana ampoule, linking cords, and so-called 'mana motors'. Perfectly timed with the parts delivery from Cadet Booker not two days ago. Sukie, be a dear and clear this up, and have the remainder bundled up and sent to the young master's rooms at the Academy." Rikad motioned for the housekeepers to clear the table, then ushered Etholin to his private offices where they could discuss business strategy in depth.
Uncle Rikad’s offices were more than just a cozy place where Etholin could get a taste of home. Officially, Rikad was stationed here to oversee the administration of this branch office of the Ocean Breeze Trading Company. In reality, the office was a means to circumvent the Academy's prohibition against students communicating regularly with their home realm. Many aristocratic families employed similar cheats and dodges involving ‘familial duties’ and ‘business obligations’ to skirt the rules. If the Nexians cared about closing such loopholes, they didn’t show it. Perhaps the quaint maneuverings of their lessers amused the elves, who could say?
In this case, Rikad and Etholin were leveraging this loophole to the fullest, as they strategized on how to execute the next steps of their latest commercial venture, which Rikad would then relay to the head offices in Rontalis. As their planning session drew to a close, Rikad remarked on the time. “Well, it would seem that evening has fast become night. You are welcome to stay overnight here, as always, or perhaps you would prefer to retire to the Academy dormitories? Either way, I doubt you’d want to watch an old man doze off in his reading room listening to music.”
At the mention of leisure time, Etholin's eyes widened in surprise, and he began rooting around in his satchel. "Oh goodness, I entirely forgot!"
"What is it, lad?"
"Oh, Cadet Booker has provided us with more of her 'video archive files', transcribed to memory crystal," explained Etholin as he produced the set of crystals from his satchel, perfectly sized for the compact projection device that Rikad kept in his rooms.
"Ah, splendid! Another of the young lady's documentary presentations on commerce? Or perhaps one of her theatrical serials? Both are fine ways to while away the night."
“I’m not sure, but Cadet Booker said we would enjoy them a great deal,” said Etholin as he placed the crystal into the office's projector. As the machine spooled up, a moving image was cast onto the whitewashed wall across the room. As with all Earthrealm recordings, it was entirely mundane, bereft of any sign of manafields. Compared to mana based memory shards, Earthrealm recordings felt like faded sketches. None of that hindered the recording's impact on the viewers.
"Hoh? This is-" exclaimed Rikad, eyes lighting up in recognition.
An Earthrealmer with a thick, lustrous beard strode into view, his confidence and enthusiasm palpable despite the muted colors of the recording. The Earthrealmer’s voice rang out from the projector, carrying that same confidence and infectious enthusiasm like a barker worthy of the title of Grand Master.
Rikad and Etholin cheered in unison.
"HI! BILLY MAYS HERE, WITH ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCT!"

Lost around 8lbs. 175lbs-168lbs.
What i did was go to school, skip lunch and breakfast and eat right when i come home at 3:30. Some of you might call this crazy but i’m a senior in highschool and my lunch period is in the morning where i always wake up like 10 min before school because i love my sleep.
When i come home i eat 3 eggs + Organic Bread and a small amount of rice with it aswell. This totals to around 500-600 cals
I wait around an hour to digest it and go on a 25 min run on my elliptical. Now some days i lift weights in my home gym after OR i do some extra cardio which is boxing.
After my exercise i don’t have my second meal until around 8:00-10:00. My second meal consists of either 2 potatoes cut up into pieces and thrown into the air fryer (eat it with hot sauce and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder etc.) OR a tuna salad. The can of tuna is great because it’s only like 50 cals.
And the next is optional but i drink a strawberry/banana smoothie. It just depends if i’m really hungry or not but i do it once in a while.
I got sick for a few days and it stunted my progress a lot but i picked myself back up afterwards. My total cals a day was around 1300-1400.
So that’s basically it. With Saturdays as my cheat days as well, i lost around 8lbs so far. If anyone has any more advice feel free to give me some

* Okay, 1st attempt I made it too complicated, thank you for the help gentlemen, have took out a lot of the extra stuff I put on. I made my diet much more simple. I'm keeping the 2x15 min meditations per day though.
I'm starting again tomorrow on the 1st June, 2024 - 15th August. All the best!
Wanted to write this post so I am clear with myself about exactly what and what I will and will not do over the next 75 days. Clarity is king.
And to make it clear to myself that I am starting this challenge through making this post and starting it using the 75 hard app as well.
Here it goes.
Rules.

MUST Follow a Specific Diet

- No cheat meals, no junk food, clean strict eating. Vegan diet.
Here is what my diet is specifically for me.
80-90% clean vegan food, vegetables, fruit, rice, grains, seeds, nuts, muesli, beans, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, seitan. 10-20% is substitute meats are allowed, maximum one portion of substitute meat per day. Exact portions are detailed below so there is crystal clear clarity on if I am following the diet or breaking the rules and failing the challenge and not becoming the person I want to be.
Try to go without processed food and focus much more on things like beans and tofu and protein powder as your source of protein.

1. No white bread.
2. No junk food, no fried food, no pizza, no burgers, no chips, no crisps, no milk chocolate, no cake, no ice cream at all, no milkshakes, no biscuits, no sweets, nothing like this. No pastry, no frozen hash browns , no onion rings, no chips, no shit food, no greggs food (coffee allowed, no mochas) , no McDonalds,

- 80% dark chocolate is allowed

1. Some alternative meats allowed. Not all. Will use common sense. The healthier and cleaner the better. No junk food, no cheat meals.
   
2. Maximum 2 cups of coffee per day. No coffee consumption within the first 90 minutes of waking. No coffee / caffeine consumption after 4pm.
   
3. No cows milk, cheese or dairy products consumption at all.
   
4. No animal meat consumption.
   

These are also rules for my diet.
6. No Alcohol.

1. No smoking cigarettes, no vaping, no cigarillos, no cigars. If I smoke or vape even one hit, I fail.
   
2. No pornography consumption of any kind. If I look at one video, I fail.
   

MUST drink at least 1 gallon of water per day, everyday.

1 Gallon of water is = to 8 pints (I'm from the UK, this is how I will measure)

MUST complete 2x 45 minute workouts per day, everyday, one of which MUST be outside.

example workouts include, speed walk, walk/run, strength workout, rings workout, yoga practice, etc.

MUST read 10 pages of a self development book per day, everyday.

MUST Take 1 progress picture with shirt off every single day.

Other rules I will follow - including this in my personal 75 hard.

Must complete 2x 15 minute meditations per day, everyday.

If I miss a meditation, I fail.
Why is this exciting for me?/ Why am I doing this?

• Become Healthier, clean living. Next level. Stop smoking. Stop porn. Align with my goals and vision in life.
• Create a routine in my life that is helping me to become the person I want to be. Something productive to focus on.
• Become a man of remarkable integrity. Where I say I will do something and I follow through no doubt.
• Permission slip to exude a higher state of confidence and self belief.
• Become a role model for others. Have a bigger impact in the world.

Starting right now, effective immediately.
Although, my official first day complete will be tomorrow, as today for the full day I have not followed the rules because I have been creating them.
See you on 13th August gentlemen.

I'm trying to find my footing in getting renders as close to perfection off the bat because it takes such a long time and I want it to look realistic not like a cartoon. I'm basically in the middle of creating a cheat sheet so to speak for materials: Powdered metal, frosty glass etc. But right now I want to figure out the best settings for leather and cotton because they're not looking right in my renders. I use SU Podium so I really want to know the best bump, reflection and IOR. Does anyone have any go-to settings for fabrics? (in general not for podium specifically) Or do you just have to play around? Thanks in advance

Before we get to the offer I wish to give you some background about myself - My name is Dominik, I'm a personal trainer and a nutrition consultant, as well as a powerlifter. I have been doing this with joy for over 10 years now and wish to share that knowledge further on with as many as I can. I don't find it appropriate to advertise my pages here, but for those who want proof, feel free to snoop my reddit post history.
There you can also find my previous posts here on slavelabour that were all well received, which hopefully provides some form of assurance and credibility that I respond and deliver to everybody as fast and efficiently as I can.
Now back to the topic! I'm offering three 60 day meal plan variations - a 1200, 2000 and a 2800 calorie version. Each day of the meal plans is unique and has 5 meals, so in total you're getting 300 different meal ideas - no two will be completely the same. There are no supplements in the meal plan, so there's no meals like "1 scoop of protein powder".
These plans are made of natural foods that can be found in every decently equipped grocery store, with a couple of 'cheat-ish' ones to add some extra variety. The meals won't be complicated to make, nor won't take a lot od time to prepare, and only require basic cooking and seasoning skills. Every ingredient as well as meal has its macronutrient values precisely calculated to one decimal and of course listed next to it.
There are more complex, as well as very simple meals, and due to an easy to read design it's also very simple to switch meals up if you don't like certain ones.
If you only decide to only get one of the meal plans, It's yours for 5$, file format is PDF.
I can send you a sample day, so you can get an idea on how the full meal plan will look like and to make it easier for you to decide if you'd like it or find useful.
For an additional 10$ I'll also write you a fully personalized training plan for your physique goals. We'll go through a detailed questionnaire about your current situation, lifestyle, goals, injuries to work around etc. Based on the anwsers I'll write and send you a detailed training plan within 48 hours, including;

• Your current statistics overview and recommended action steps
  
• A detailed workout routine based on your current situation and lifestyle, with a solid progression system, assuring consistent and measurable results
  
• In-depth instructions on how to correctly and safely perform each exercise
  
• A proposed cardio training plan
  
• A dynamic pre-workout stretching routine to keep your trainings safe
  
• A static post-workout stretching routine for a more efficient recovery
  
• Additional notes about nutrition - how and when to change your calories so you don't stall and always keep progressing towards your goals
  
• A personalized training progress calender where you'll be able to log in your progress and stay motivated to continue
  

I always respond to everyone, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. I'll try to respond as soon as I can, but if I don't do it right away it most likely means I'm working with my clients or it's night time here.
Cheers!

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years. I had just gotten out of a 2 year relationship prior and was a sophomore in college. My ex cheated with 3 different women I worked with. My current bf and I fight all the time about how much we have sex. I have a very low sex drive, I have been assaulted/r by 6 different men, the most recent was a day before my bf and I met. My ex r me as well as some family members and friends dad and a date. I think a lot of my low sex drive has to do with being assaulted for years (sometimes every day). I am in therapy trying to work through that as well as other childhood abuse trauma. He said that my sexual trauma gets taken out on him because it makes my sex drive low. He said I should just get over it so I don’t have to live my whole life stuck with the trauma. I agree I should try to move on but it was so ingrained in me since I was 10 when it started. But I also think it’s not very easy to get over it even with the help of therapy and he doesn’t relate to any of my trauma. It seems like he doesn’t care about what has happened to me and that he only cares that he doesn’t get what he wants because of it. He is in the mood 24/7 and always pestering me about it. It doesn’t help that I’m chronically ill and have poor mental health/stress, just graduated from college and am working and trying to find a full time job. I feel like I should be able to say no. On top of this, he also tells me all the time he wants to break up or says something awful and the next day tells me he wants to marry me. I know that most likely has to do with my libido as well. I know I need to compromise sometimes and I need to find a solution, maybe maca powder, exercise or something. I honestly just need advice from other women. Please help not only with advice for my libido but also how to communicate my feelings to him!

5'7 female, 26, 115lbs, using chocolate powder

• the taste is better than i expected
  
• lost 15 pounds
  
• not having to cook, and only having to wash a single blender bottle a day is a game changer
  
• i felt pretty nauseous the first couple weeks. i still feel a bit of nausea if i drink too fast, but at the beginning it was like, ok i need to drink this and then immediately lay down. my body has mostly adapted
  
• significantly more energy, despite the fact that i think i'm consuming less calories. i was definitely malnourished and had a horrific gamer diet before soylent, so take that with a grain of salt
  
• saving a lottttt of money. takeout or fast food was my go-to, because i'm lazy and a terrible cook. now, both of those things are still true, but it only costs me like $90 a month.
  
• i have "cheat" days about once a week, where i eat "real" food. but honestly, i haven't been that strict about it and i find myself craving real food less and less. i even crave soylent a lot of the time.
  

i'm aware this sounds like an advertisement. they're not paying me, i'm just like, a fan. i'm the type of person that watched snowpiercer and was like, wow i wish i could have those nutrient bars, so there is definitely something a little wrong with me, which you should take into account when reading this review. thanks

as the title says I'm curious to see if that I am a dummy, and can disable some plugins that I have no use for. Lets say I have 2 texture mods that modify the same stuff, I'm curious to see if I can disable one of the two to save plugin space, any help would be appreciated

I know the "wmx" mod is "incompatible" with some of the other stuff I have here, but I don't know how or what I did, but I got the mod to play nice with the others I have installed

Hey all, so I, along with a lot of you have been extremely excited about [[Ugin's Labyrinth]] entering the format. But now that the set is fully spoiled and I'm actually brewing, I'm having a terrible time actually finding a way to facilitate it in decks. I think the card naturally invites us to think of the best possible scenarios - jamming it Turn 1 with a card to imprint on it and having it be early, degenerate mana ramp in a format that isn't really built to deal with that kind of early ramp.
The problem is, the nut draw of having a Turn 1 Imprintable Ugin's Labyrinth is insanely harder to facilitate than the spoiler season hype actually reflects, and in order to effectively use the card you need to go through tremendous deckbuilding restrictions (including at least 12+ colorless cards that have CMC 7 or greater) while still being incredibly weak to nonbasic land hate in the format (which will be more prevalent than ever before).

Breaking Down the Pitch Math

I'm adapting this off an older, now archived Frank Karsten article when Force of Negation was out, so I will say in advance this will be the weakest part of the analysis and I welcome anyone who can adjust these numbers a bit more accurately. In this article, Karsten identifies that to hit 90% consistency in a four Force of Negation deck to always have a pitch spell in hand, you have to run 14 other blue spells, bringing your total to 18 blue spells (counting the Force). There's two problems in applying this direct statistic to Ugin's Labyrinth - 1. we really want Labyrinth to be relevant in turn 1 or 2 at the latest in most cases, and 2. Labyrinth doesn't pitch to itself.
While exact math is definitely off (and I welcome anyone who can do the full breakdown of how many Imprintable Cards we need to consistently be able to Turn 1 Imprint on a Labyrinth), there's a pretty clear truth that comes out of this: we need a LOT of 7+ Colorless creatures to make this card good, and most 7+ Colorless creatures are not very good at all. For the sake of this analysis, we'll run with the idea that we can get by with 12 Imprintable cards in our deck, but even that feels pretty low.

Building an Ugin's Labyrinth Pitch Toolbox

Ok, so we need a LOT of 7+ CMC creatures. Let's go with the idea that we're going to go through the trouble of making this possible, and let's do a bit of a review of the options that we have in the format currently. I've separated this list into five categories; big Eldrazi, big Colorless Spells, MH3's three "Labyrinth-centric" Eldrazi, unique ways to cheat CMC, and then the Affinity creatures:

Big Eldrazi

• [[Emrakul, the Aeons Torn]] - Guaranteed to be an all star pitch target for decks looking to cheat it into play. Just as uncastable as always in other decks.
  
• [[Emrakul, the Promised End]] - Technically a reducable Eldrazi, but still pretty much always MV 7-8. A powerful top end in some decks over the years, but rarely ever more than a 1 of.
  
• [[Emrakul, the World Anew]] - A bit of a dark horse with the bigger Eldrazi, especially if there's a deck that can use its Madness cost well. Really intriguing, but unproven, although likely a player in a lot of these Eldrazi lists if the fact that a synergistic discard outlet doesn't make this unworkable.
  
• [[Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger]] - A 2 of in Tron for awhile, and likely still extremely strong as a top end in any Eldrazi deck.
  
• [[Kozilek, Butcher of Truth]] - Probably a 1 of at best.
  
• [[New Ulamog]] - Again, maybe a fringe reanimator target, but probably consistently worse than Ceaseless Hunger and unlikely to be a major player in the format or in Labyrinth decks.
  
• [[World Breaker]] - A card that used to see decent play in Tron, and is reasonably castable on its own. I think it's a bit too weak in Modern in most cases these days though.
  

Big Colorless Spells

This is kind of the Tron section of the post, but a couple comments noted I missed noncreature spells, so I want to break them down further:

• [[All is Dust]] - A clear gameplayer in these Eldrazi decks, and definitely one that will help to reach that critical mass of Imprint cards. But it's overall a card that's better at playing massive long games, rather than enabling really early aggressive stompy kinds of Eldrazi decks. It's also a lot easier to facilitate off Tron lands in most cases.
  
• [[Ugin, the Spirit Dragon]] and [[Karn Liberated]] - Tron's other big time payoffs that help to make this card possible. Like All is Dust, these are big time control centric types of cards, rather than decks that want to go fast in the early turns as much as possible. In theory, traditional Tron could run Labyrinth fairly easily with some mix of Ugin, Karn 7, and Ulamog, but is ramping early with a non-Tron land even something the deck's excited to do? Probably not in its current build, but if you make the deck leaner with lower CMC Eldrazi to support more explosive early turns, you're again taking away from the potential of what these bigger Tron control cards typically offer.
  
• [[Karn the Great Creator]] grabbing a 7+ drop to pitch - An interaction that came up in the comments. Honestly this is a fine interaction, but you're way past Labyrinth's real explosive point if you're already able to cast 4 mana spells.
  

MH3 Labyrinth Enablers

• [[Devourer of Destiny]] - A card that was clearly designed to go alongside Labyrinth and enable some pretty strong Turn 1s. It has a weak Once Upon a Time-esque opening hand rider tied to it that helps you find your Labyrinth and smooth over your starting draws as extra gravy. The problem is, you have to run four of these, and this card kinda sucks in every other conceivable case - it's a 7 mana 6/6 that conditionally exiles only one thing. So what doesn't get pitched to Labyrinth will inevitably be either stuck in your hand completely, or will be pretty low impact if you actually do cast it in most cases.
  
• [[Drowner of Truth]]//Drowned Jungle - Again another card really clearly designed to go with Labyrinth. It doesn't have the payoff of Devourer with the added synergy, and it offers a fairly similar low powered body if you actually are able to cast it. This one has the added ability to be played as a tapped Simic land, which is... not terrible, but still identifies a pretty high level of variance in this card - that it's either powering your Sol Land, or it's just a ETB tapped dual land in colors you may or may not actually want to use.
  
• [[Nulldrifter]] - This is MH3's Eldrazi variant of a 7 CMC card that isn't "actually" a 7 CMC card. It's usable for other cards like Kozilek's Unsealing and Ugin's Binding to trigger 7 CMC abilities off its Evoke trigger, and it's nice that it, like Drowner of Truth, is another potential enabler that ultimately can be used for other things than just hard casting. However, 2U to draw 2 cards is pretty drastically below Modern power level, and even if you're Evoking it off an Eldrazi Temple it doesn't really strike me as an impactful play that any deck would want if not for enabling Labyrinth.
  

Cost Reduced Enablers

• [[Scion of Draco]] - One of the absolute best cards in the format now turns on one of the most powerful lands in the format. This is extremely exciting on first glance until it becomes clearer that besides the synergy, the cards are kind of perpetually at odds with each other, since Scion wants you to be enabling Domain, Labyrinth wants lots of colorless mana sinks. If anyone finds a way to make those two cards work together I'll be super impressed.
  
• [[Elder Deep Fiend]], Herigast, and other Emerge Cards - This is definitely a potential area for the deck to go. Deep Fiend is really powerful, and it had a bit of a resurgence during the Bean Era of Modern. However, there is another huge deckbuilding cost that goes to the Emerge cards involving having good Sac enablers for them, and none of those aspects really synergize with the other cards we're talking about here.
  
• [[Phyrexian Fleshgorger]] - A card that hasn't ever really broken into the format as expected, but worth mentioning in that its Prototype cost can help mitigate its typical high casting cost.
  

Affinity Cards

• I saved this section for last for good reason. Affinity clearly has the cards that can support this, between Sojourner's Companion, Myr Enforcer, and the new Frogmyr Enforcer. There's even [[Barricade Breaker]] as another 7 CMC spell. The problem is, Affinity has never been able to facilitate even 8 of these 7 CMC cards in a proper deck, much less 12. I think 6 has even been the most in the post-Simulacrum Synthesizer era. They get stuck in your hand, they bog down the rest of your deck, they get in the way of your other payoff cards like your 8Casts. Affinity needs to play less big dumb payoffs, not more.
  
• The other side of Labyrinth's downside in Affinity is that it drastically limits how many other colorless artifact lands you can play. Cutting Darksteel Citadel for Labyrinth seems logical, until you take into consideration how much that hurts your deck's potential to have the early busted Artifact-heavy draws that define the deck. One of the big factors there is that Darksteel Citadel often already functions as a Sol Land of sorts since it adds 1 Affinity and taps for 1 on its own. And if you're keeping a starting hand to pitch a 7 MV creature to Labyrinth, you're down two cards without actually bringing your self any closer to facilitating actual Affinity and a critical mass of artifacts. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I can't see any conceivable build of the deck that could facilitate 12 of these effects (and we're still acknowledging that 12 is a pretty low number overall).
  

And then there's the hate cards.

Nonbasic land hate is going to be more prevalant than ever before. Winter Orb is absolutely sadistic against the kind of decks we're describing building, Harbinger of the Seas is going to be maindeckable and open up a new angle of moon effects, and [[White Orchid Phantom]] is, in my opinion, the "Dauthi Voidwalker of the Set" - an extremely strong hate piece that's so pushed it's maindeckable. Not only that, we're still in a format where Field of Ruin effects are extraordinarily popular, as is Boseiju, alongside other means of hating out nonbasics like Blood Moon, Magus, and Alpine Moon. And because of Labyrinth's Imprint cost, getting your Labyrinth popped means you're getting 2-for-1'd every time.
Imagine you build your deck around Labyrinth, you make every deckbuilding concession to facilitate your deck with 12+ colorless creatures, then your opponent just blows the damn Labyrinth up and 2-for-1s you anyway. I think this is going to be an extremely prevalant scenario that's already true in current Modern with the nonbasic tools we already have, and if White Orchid Phantom starts being a staple, it makes this an absolute common occurence.

Some Inevitabilities While Playing Labyrinth

There will be games where:

• You draw a ton of your 7 MV enablers without any actual Labyrinth.
  
• When you draw 1 or multiple Labyrinths without an actual enabler
  
• Where you're forced to play Labyrinth early to make a land drop without Imprinting it
  
• Where you assemble Labyrinth and an Imprintable card, but it's past the first couple turns of the game and it barely matters.
  
• Where you have Labyrinth + your enabler, but you don't actually have an early payoff
  
• Where you have Labyrinth + your enabler, but then your opponent kills it sometime.
  

Will there also be plenty of games where it enables a busted start, powering you ahead of your opponent at impossible speeds? Yes, but those will be fewer and farther between than we want them to be, and will come at an enormous deckbuilding hurdle (again, I keep using 12 Imprintable cards in this analysis, but even that is quite low statistically) and will still leave us wide open to any conceivable hate card in the format.

Pieces for a "Good" Ugin's Labyrinth Deck

I don't want this to be all doom and gloom, so I do want to take some time to reflect on what will be necessary to facilitate a good Ugin's Labyrinth deck. I think these are pretty much non-negotiable traits that go along with the card being good. If a deck can satisfy any of these categories, Ugin's Labyrinth instantly becomes a lot more interesting:

• You'll have to be able to actually cast whatever 7 MV cards you're putting in your deck as GOOD Magic cards. You can't just run 4 Devourer of Truths and 4 Drowner of Destinies and consider Labyrinth live - you'll have way too many awkward draws for the payoff and again, 8 Imprint cards is way too little. So a really big Eldrazi deck seems likely, potentially ending the curve at an Emrakul and/or Ulamog of some variety. The problem with this kind of design that needs to be overcame is that you still need Labyrinth to be a good turn 1 play to justify its existence, so you're trying to build a deck that is both aggressive and capable of winning the long game while also justifying that Labyrinth + Temple is a better basis for your deck than the Tron lands. This also pulls the deckbuilding away from the kind of feared Eye Eldrazi Stompy lists that defined Eldrazi Winter - you can't exactly always expect to form an insane swarm of big Eldrazi by Turn 3 if your nonland cards are like 33% 7 MV+. If these competing factors can be balanced and we get a "big" Eldrazi deck out of all this, I can definitely see Labyrinth performing well.
  
• The Affinity variants are actually playable in the right shell. Maybe there's a variant of Affinity that forgoes Thoughtcast and some other payoffs in favor of running 12 of the Affinity creatures alongside Kozilek's Unsealing and/or Ugin's Binding. This would be basically a completely different build of Affinity and still leads to the lost Darksteel Citadel problem I talked about above of potentially not having enough early game artifact enablers. I'll definitely try to make a variant like this work, but I'm overall not going to get my hopes up (especially when Affinity has a metric ton of other sweet new MH3 toys, the majority of which want us to have more colored mana sources, not less).
  
• You're running a lot of big colorless threats with some intention to cheat them into play. We have a lot of cool new ways to reanimate things, and Through the Breach is still a great magic card, and even something like Aetherworks Marvel is suddenly interesting again alongside all the new Energy enablers. I always have my pet deck, Mono Red Trash for Treasure as another category in this mix since we play a decent amount of big bomb artifacts (but again, I run like 5-6 big targets in that deck, and Labyrinth needs a LOT more than that).
  
• You go all in on making Turn 1 Labyrinth your defining play in a combo/prison deck, and you don't care how many awkward cards or mulligans you have to go through to make it possible. This kind of variation may even run Serum Powder or may just be happy to mulligan like an absolute menace, but the idea would be that you could go super deep on facilitating Labyrinth because something like T1 Chalice or T2 Blood Moon is your defining play. I'll DEFINITELY incinerate a ton of play points in the coming weeks trying to explore this kind of idea.
  

End Step

I feel like I started this post as a skeptic, then kind of completely talked myself out of the card by the time I got to the end. I'm sure, despite this, there will be ways to make Ugin's Labyrinth a player in the format. BUT it will come at some tremendous deckbuilding hurdles and will still be weak to a metric ton of hate cards that turn it into a 2 for 1. Either way, I doubt this will be a tool for a wide variety of decks. In fact I think [[Phyrexian Tower]] will likely be the greater Sol Ring of the two - I just wrote an essay on all the work it takes to enable Labyrinth, while all Tower wants you to do is play some creatures.
Is my math wrong? Probably, but again, I think I'm actually being generous at thinking just 12 Imprint enablers is feasible, and I probably forgot a few hate cards along the way also.
Overall, I do think Ugin's Labyrinth is an awesome brewing card. I think, like Urza's Saga before it, it's an insanely pushed MH card that has a lot of checks and balances attached to it, but I don't see it being anywhere near as ubiquitous or significant to the format as Saga was, and I definitely don't see it as the $100 chase card of the set it's currently propped up to be.
Time will tell on Labyrinth, but personally I'm less excited to jam it at peak competitive Modern as I am excited to just facilitate weird degenerate Turn 1 Chalice of the Void brews with it.
Let me know your thoughts, fix my math, and feel free to roast me in the comments if this winds up as a drastically off the mark take a few weeks from now!

$1,000,000 for sex with a bear
Okay, so here's the scenario. An eccentric billionaire wants to see you, and only you, have sex with a Grizzly bear plucked from Northern Michigan. He saw you crossing the street and you just had a bear-fucking look about you, and now he can't stop thinking about it. He's offering a million dollars USD (it's actually more but he has ensured that after tax, you will receive exactly $1,000,000).
The bear in question is totally on board, and is of sufficient intelligence to understand consent. It has in fact been a sex worker for several months already. It's a very strange bear who is largely attracted to humans, so it won't attack you. And it found a porridge bowl full of Viagra that was juuuuuuust right, and ate the whole thing. There is a male and female bear, so you can pick. This can only be a Grizzly, so no use trying to pick a less dangerous bear, or picking a polar bear you fucking racist. And though the bear will not attack you, it's still a fucking bear, so don't get crushed under the weight of bear peach.
You only get the money when the sex is finished TO COMPLETION OF YOU OR THE BEAR. One of you has to orgasm. You pick. But it has to be through the sex. You can't just masturbate while touching a bear and expect to get paid you cheating sack of fuck. You are, however, allowed to use "performance enhancing drugs". I don't expect most people to become aroused by a bear, so you wanna eat a burrito full of Viagra, go for it. Wanna grind up a bunch of ecstacy and use it as the powdered sugar on a donut, deal. Whatever works for you to rock a bear's world.
The only spectators will be the eccentric billionaire and seven randomly chosen used car salesmen from the New England area. You can back out, but you would then be required to fight a white tail deer on PCP.
So, would you do it? You pull this off, you can be a millionaire in ten minutes, with minimal claw scars. I mean... Like, horrific emotional scars, but minimal claw scars.
I made sure the bear is able to consent and of some weird, magical subspecies that understands exactly what's happening, and the whole interaction takes place in international waters.
Edit: okay so I kinda figured this would just be deleted immediately, but it wasn't, so I've been answering questions and now there's more background.
The bears are male and female, Steve and Stevarina respectively. They're not native to the northern peninsula of Michigan, but have embarked on a spiritual pilgrimage beginning in the American southwest in the back of an El Camino. Upon reaching the northern peninsula of Michigan they realized their affinity for sex work. They own controlling shares for a well-off landscaping company based in New Mexico and are therefore not in need of the money, but have a love and passion for sex work. The eccentric billionaire still compensates them very well, even though they'd do it for free. The bear, regardless of gender, will insist on six minutes of cuddling post-sexual destruction. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE YOU FUCKS.
The sex can involve any kind of foreplay and the bear will roll with it (you weirdo). In order to achieve the payout, the orgasm/s must be achieved either through direct padiddling, or through simultaneous genital nomming (in cases in which the bear and bearfucker are the same sex, direct contact between genitals can still work, so scissoring or almost starting a fire from the friction of rubbing two dicks together counts as well). Hand and claw jobs fill the role of foreplay and count as forfeiture, resulting in fighting the PCP-infused white tail deer.
Being in international waters, if you sustain serious injuries, a fishing boat from the nearest country with free healthcare will pick you up and either believe whatever nonsense you make up as to why you have, like, a ruptured colon and claw marks all over your body, or if you tell them the truth, be too disgusted to look at you. Either way this results in you being treated medically, then deported so they never see you again.
The eccentric billionaire will pay double if you and the bear climax at the same time (beginning within one second of each other). You can also potentially increase the payout by taking the money entirely in change and looking through all of it for coins that are worth more to collectors. The bear will become Comrade Bear if you seduce it to the point of turning on the eccentric billionaire, but in order to seal the deal, you must either eliminate or seduce all of the used car salesmen from the New England area. This results in you getting the money without doing the horizontal hokey pokey with a bear, but then Comrade Bear will be in love with you and things could get complicated. Regardless of this outcome, the eccentric billionaire cannot be extorted or forced into giving more money as he will die shortly after this horror show touching moment, either by way of being skinned alive and salted like a slug by Comrade Bear or by sequestering himself in a Super 8 Motel afterwards and dying from dehydration after ejaculating several thousand times in a row.
If you need the bear to be able to communicate with you, you'll have to be able to understand Morse code. But body language should do.
The bear is super anti-racist, and if for any reason the used car salesmen say racist shit, bear stops mid-canoodling to maul them to death. But they had a lengthy orientation to discuss all the rules, so it shouldn't be an issue (I did not expect this to come up). Also, the eccentric billionaire will not allow any sort of recording of the event and anyone who tries will be disemboweled by a lion and a tiger while George Takei says "oh my" over a loudspeaker.
Alright you bunch of freaks, I think that about covers it.

Before we get to the offer I wish to give you some background about myself - My name is Dominik, I'm a personal trainer and a nutrition consultant, as well as a powerlifter. I have been doing this with joy for over 10 years now and wish to share that knowledge further on with as many as I can. I don't find it appropriate to advertise my pages here, but for those who want proof, feel free to snoop my reddit post history.
There you can also find my previous posts here on slavelabour that were all well received, which hopefully provides some form of assurance and credibility that I respond and deliver to everybody as fast and efficiently as I can.
Now back to the topic! I'm offering three 60 day meal plan variations - a 1200, 2000 and a 2800 calorie version. Each day of the meal plans is unique and has 5 meals, so in total you're getting 300 different meal ideas - no two will be completely the same. There are no supplements in the meal plan, so there's no meals like "1 scoop of protein powder".
These plans are made of natural foods that can be found in every decently equipped grocery store, with a couple of 'cheat-ish' ones to add some extra variety. The meals won't be complicated to make, nor won't take a lot od time to prepare, and only require basic cooking and seasoning skills. Every ingredient as well as meal has its macronutrient values precisely calculated to one decimal and of course listed next to it.
There are more complex, as well as very simple meals, and due to an easy to read design it's also very simple to switch meals up if you don't like certain ones.
If you only decide to only get one of the meal plans, It's yours for 5$, file format is PDF.
I can send you a sample day, so you can get an idea on how the full meal plan will look like and to make it easier for you to decide if you'd like it or find useful.
For an additional 10$ I'll also write you a fully personalized training plan for your physique goals. We'll go through a detailed questionnaire about your current situation, lifestyle, goals, injuries to work around etc. Based on the anwsers I'll write and send you a detailed training plan within 48 hours, including;

• Your current statistics overview and recommended action steps
  
• A detailed workout routine based on your current situation and lifestyle, with a solid progression system, assuring consistent and measurable results
  
• In-depth instructions on how to correctly and safely perform each exercise
  
• A proposed cardio training plan
  
• A dynamic pre-workout stretching routine to keep your trainings safe
  
• A static post-workout stretching routine for a more efficient recovery
  
• Additional notes about nutrition - how and when to change your calories so you don't stall and always keep progressing towards your goals
  
• A personalized training progress calender where you'll be able to log in your progress and stay motivated to continue
  

I always respond to everyone, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. I'll try to respond as soon as I can, but if I don't do it right away it most likely means I'm working with my clients or it's night time here.
Cheers!

First and foremost, I know this isn’t a diet community, but there are people on here with a wealth of knowledge.
Second, it should be noted that I will be living quasi-off grid during this 4-week period; limited access to refrigeration and cooking methods.
With that said, what is a good macro breakdown that will help me lose fat while also having energy for the 10k SC? Additionally, what are some good non-perishable and or semi-perishable foods that I can leverage? I imagine protein powder (low carb?) and probably simple greens and a multi-vitamin (don’t think I’ll get too many vegetables. Usually I snack on almonds, dried cranberries, hard boiled eggs, toast w/ nut butter, cottage cheese, and quest chips (it’s my cheat snack). I assume that I am going to want to cut down on some of those foods though and also know eggs and cheese are probably not in my future w/o refrigeration.
Anyhow, I am fine with something super simple and can eat the same things for days/weeks on end. I am open to suggestions.
To clarify, I will assume I have no access to any cooking methods.
