=== USA NHL PACK ===
US NHL LIVE 01: 8pm New York Rangers at Florida Panthers

I really want to enjoy this game. It has bright visuals, the guns feel excellent, movement feels fun, feedback from hits and kills give pure dopamine, but I feel like I'm gaslighting myself every time I play. This game already has a design with frustrating elements, shields, invisibility and wallhack abilities in CoD is quite a gamble. Throw the frustrating hit reg and lack of enemy collision on top of that, and it's just too much to bear. How many of you have been in a match and thought "Am I just shit or is the hitreg shit?" when you swear you hit a shot? It's becoming impossible to really evaluate my own play when half the times I get a kill or get killed, I feel like it shouldn't have ever happened. I'm simply gonna monitor this sub until an update is out, because this game has a bright future but it's incredibly hard to believe it was tested two years ago.

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of the June Recovery Challenge, how are you?
Wishing you peace and all the success today and all month long, good luck everyone! :)

Today's check in:

Think of a scale from zero to 100 of how important it is for you to be in recovery. You can use the following chart as a guide:
https://preview.redd.it/zele7eyydy3d1.png?width=829&format=png&auto=webp&s=a1cf0a82c438ac9bca45d3b2254e41ecb1b3815e
Where are you on this scale?
What led you to choose the number you did, as opposed to a higher or lower number?
​
​
If you're just joining us today for the first time, here is some info about what we do here! :)
​
What the Recovery Challenge posts are:

• daily check ins and 5x per week bonus exercises (drafted from my notes and handouts from treatment programs I've done and then further developed with contributions from group members!); all are optional and anyone is welcome to show up in whatever way works for them
• peer support
• a friendly and non-judgmental community with people at all stages of recovery, all of us having ups and downs
• accepting and respectful of all paths to recovery

What they are not:

• about dieting or weight loss**
• about being perfect
• a sales pitch for a private program

If you're new to recovery or it's been a while, here are some "getting ready" posts, in case they might be helpful for you to set yourself up for success this month!

• Thinking about why recovery might be important to you; The Stages of Change
• Do you need a meal plan?
• Ways to get through urges
• Shifting your binging habits before you stop binging; Ambivalence Towards Recovery

I have about 3 months' worth of daily material that I am rotating through for these posts so whenever someone joins, if they stick around for three months or so they will see pretty much everything I have to offer :)
**I believe in respecting individuals' autonomy over their body and recovery path, and I do not believe in nor am I qualified to be telling people what they should or shouldn't do regarding body size! That said, I try to keep the recovery challenges as a weight-neutral space because while some may be on a weight-loss journey (and it's everyone's individual choice to make), many (if not most) people in ED recovery either need or want to accept their bodies as they are regardless of current size, and so I try to keep the space as free of "thinner is better" messaging as possible.
​
WHAT IF I HAVE A SLIP DURING THE CHALLENGE?
if you have a slip and want to turn it into a recovery learning opportunity, here are some questions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZhdjmzEVA6UTCNAEU53xn9LuN8TOfLbl/edit
(you don't have to post your answers if you don't want to, but I do recommend writing or typing them out somewhere)
HOW CAN I GET A REMINDER TO CHECK IN TOMORROW?
Copy/paste the following text into your comment to get a reminder from Reddit:
RemindMe!
When you get your reminder, look here for a link to the next day's post :)

Hi, I've been gaming on Linux with my RTX 4070 Ti for about half a year and I have been very happy with the results and about my transition from Windows. However, there is one issue that keeps popping up and I don't seem to be able to either fix or even understand the origins of this issue: occasional tearing. It's a problem that has been discussed a lot on the internet. But it's been discussed for so long over the last 5-15 years that you can find so many different proposed "solutions" and contradictory statements and unrelated sub-discussions that it gets even harder to understand what is even the cause of the problem.
And this is basically my intent here: I would like to understand the technical cause of the problem in the Linux gaming-component stack and am therefore looking for answers from people who understand some of the technical background. I would like to ask you not to divert the discussion by statements like "use Wayland" or "use AMD" or "use another distro" or something like that, because it doesn't really help in understanding the root of the problem and the nature of the proposed solutions. Thank you! In order to facilitate the discussion, I will try to be as detailed as possible in my descriptions, so sorry if this post is too long for your taste. :)
​
The problem
First off, a short description of the problem. I have a dual-monitor setup with a primary monitor running at 120 Hz and the secondary running at 60 Hz. I'm using GNOME with X11 via a somewhat modified version of Ubuntu 22.04. VRR is disabled. (I am currently using the 550.67 driver but 535 looks the same.)
I play many games on this machine and most of them run perfectly fine. For instance, I just played MotoGP 24, a very recent game running on the Unreal engine, and I can run it at 120 fps without any problems whatsoever. The framerate is perfectly smooth and there is no tearing. Then there are other games - the latest example I tried is Shadow of Mordor - where I can also run the game very well at 120 fps (after unlocking the framerate in the config files) but at sudden random times, bad tearing pops up, stays for about 20 seconds and then vanishes again. This is obviously very distracting.
A somewhat related problem happens with games that are internally capped to 60 fps. Most of these run perfectly fine as they should since I am running at 120 Hz. However, some of them sometimes also get these random tearing episodes or produce frame-time inconsistencies which then also leads to tearing or small stutters, which should not be the case because I have more than enough headroom to run these games at 60 fps.
​
The interpretation
So, given my ~30 years of PC gaming experience, this of course sounds like a synchronization problem. Under Windows - before the advent of VRR - the solution was simply to "enable V-sync in the Nvidia Control Panel". With that setting you wouldn't get any tearing anywhere because apparently the Nvidia driver could easily control the flow of frames from the frame buffers to the display. It seems that on my Linux machine, this is not the case. There is some cross-talk going on between various components or processes and I end up with parts of frames that should not be on the screen.
Now this of course immediately brings the "explicit sync" question to my mind, but my impression was that this was a Wayland topic and that X11 handles things different anyway. So maybe X11 is the ultimate root of the problem, but I don't have the technical expertise on this topic to come to that conclusion and I would still know the root cause of the effect.
​
The stack
In order to try and identify what is involved in this process, I am now listing everything that is involved with creating a frame and then displaying it. First off, we have the game engine. It uses APIs to create calls to draw the images and also handles some of the synchronization settings on its own with in-game V-sync settings or framecaps. Then comes DXVK or VKD3D or WineD3D and perhaps some other components of Wine/Proton that translate these draw calls to Vulkan or OpenGL. The Vulkan calls are then interpreted by the Nvidia driver which then sends the results to X11. Somewhere in between we may have the Nvidia "Composition Pipeline" that can be enabled in the display settings of the nvidia-settings application. X11, running under GNOME, then gets the frames and talks to the OS to send the images to the display. I hope this is at least a reasonably close description of what is going on.
Somewhere in the middle of that chain - at least on my machine - sits MangoHud and potentially caps frames or forces V-sync once again. And then there is also gamemode which also changes some settings for the system. We could also use Gamescope to sit in between the game and X11/Wayland - but I rarely use it and haven't found that it improves things with tearing-prone games. And then there is the SteamOverlay sitting somewhere on top as well.
​
The fixes
So somewhere in that setup above is where tearing is happening. To fix it, the internet gives us tons of different advice. We can "Force Composition Pipeline" or "Force Full Composition Pipeline" in the nvidia-settings. We can set "Sync to V-blank" in the OpenGL settings of the Nvidia driver. We can even enable TripleBuffering in the driver settings in the xorg config or do some even more arcane things like setting "UseNvKmsCompositionPipeline" to "false (which helps a ton with stuttering in my case) and set environment variables like __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE.
Then we can also enable V-sync at the DXVK or VKD3D level by modifying their configs or by using the corresponding MangoHud settings. We can also disable the system-wide compositor. We can do so many things ... and some of those things indeed make it better or worse, but I haven't found settings that can get rid of even just occasional tearing once and for all.
​
The confusion
This is where I am getting confused. How is it that there is no setting that simply makes it so the GPU handles V-sync? And why is it that all these fixes proposed above often contradict each other? Some people advocate for "Force Composition Pipeline", some people say the exact opposite. Some people say TripleBuffering is the solution, some people say it doesn't work. And none of it really helped.
I am also confused by which settings would override one another. For instance: would "Sync on V-blank" only affect OpenGL applications but not DXVK? Does forcing V-sync in DXVK just override the setting for V-sync in the Nvidia driver or is it something on top that handles synchronisation, and how would that interact with the "Composition Pipeline" that the Nvidia driver is using? Do V-sync settings in-game cause problems with the "Composition Pipeline" or the DXVK V-sync setting or TripleBuffering? And for that matter: what even is the "Composition Pipeline" of the Nvidia driver and how would it get rid of the tearing if the driver is then forwarding the image to X11 anyway and X11 handles the synchronization with the display?
So I guess my ultimate question is this: where exactly does the tearing come from and why would the different solutions above prevent that from happening? Ultimately, tearing is a simple thing. GPU frames are not synchronized with the display refresh rate. But why can't the Nvidia driver simply prepare a consistent image for X11 to fetch every time it asks - at least not for all games at all times? Or to put it differently, why do some settings that are supposed to facilitate this fail in some games some of the time?
​
The plea
As you can see, I am very confused. I tried so many different combinations of everything mentioned above and none of it has gotten rid of tearing completely. But only in some of the games. Others run perfectly fine. And as someone with a scientific/technical approach to most things, this is making me crazy. If there currently is no way of getting rid of tearing ... fine. But I would simply like to know why it works most of the time but not all of the time or where I am misunderstanding things.
So, if you understand how the graphics pipeline works on our dear Linux with X11 and Nvidia and you can explain where the tearing comes from (or how one even may get rid of it) I would be so greatful because then I could finally enjoy Shadow of Mordor without trying to get research funding from the EU or the National Science Foundation. :)

Buckle yourselves in, potatoes. This is a LONG one, but I am SPILLING the tea.
I (17,f) have had a rocky relationship at best with my brother, ever since we were young. This has evolved into a lot of fights and disagreements, which I am aware that most siblings have, but this argument was the final straw. This argument started off with me coming into his room to see why the younger two have been yelling, and saw one crying because the youngest (3,f) one had gotten herself stuck on the top bunk. My brother (who we will call G-) was gaming and completely ignoring the situation. I fussed at him for ignoring them, looked up, and saw the mountain of laundry and blankets he had been told to do previously by our mother. I asked him why he hadn't done it, only for him to outright ignore me, focusing on his game. I asked him again, no response. I looked at the plug,and looked at him, and moved my hand onto the cord. "G, I will pull the plug if you don't respond." That got his attention. He looked up with a dead-eyed glare, and asked me what I wanted in a similar tone of voice, before turning his attention back to the console. (This is not new behavior, he has acted this way since we were 10 and 11.) I was tired of it. I told him to turn it off, and to pay attention when he was being spoken to. With our younger brother in the room, he also told G to stop and to listen. G rolled his eyes, and reluctantly turned off the match. I looked at him, arms crossed and leaning on the console, asked him why it was so hard to do what he was supposed to. After several minutes of silence, I waited for an answer, then I asked him again. He rolled his eyes, and told me I was making a big deal out of nothing like I did every time I confronted him. I was not mad, I was just fed up, at the end of my rope. I told him that it was a big deal to me, for him to be ignoring the kids and ignoring the ONLY job he had to do. *For a bit more context, G likes to ignore his jobs, then the jobs get pushed onto me and the middle child, A(m,13). G is fifteen. He has gotten us in trouble for not doing his jobs, like the laundry, dishes, sweeping, ECT. He was supposed to do the job before gaming to begin with. I got angry with how he was acting towards me, and told him I wouldn't be making a "big deal" out of everything if he actually did what he was supposed to and pulled his own weight. He retorted with "I didn't ask you to keep me in line," with that same dead glare. I snapped back with "well nobody asked you to be so incompetent that you can't do anything without having our parents tell me to come up behind you and make sure you get your jobs done!" Things escalated, then things shifted to the kids... I don't remember how, but the two youngest (m,6 and f,3) were brought up. I asked him if he wanted the same relationship with them like he had with me.
He went silent.
My flabbers were ghasted, waiting in the silence for a physical answer, but the silence was telling enough.
"Do you even want a relationship with them?"
Silence.
Something in me snapped, and everything shut down. I looked at him dead in the eyes, and said "I do not care about our relationship. It is non-existent. We are strangers under one roof... But the kids need their oldest brother. You better fix everything with them and build a proper one with them." He asked me if "I was done and when I would leave," and told me he was "waiting for me to leave so ge could game." Ha. Yeah, I was done.
The next morning, I sat him down and asked him if he thought about what he said... This boy told me the only reason he dislikes me so much is because I kicked him out of my room three years ago. (BS, and he was avoiding the question. I just think he doesn't like me because I am the only one who will put him in his place constantly. I keep him in his jobs and chores, and he told me to my face that he didn't care about me, so there's that, too.) He glared at me, then the floor, and said "I guess I'll be a big brother to the kids." In a dead voice. It sounded like SUCH an inconvenience to him, and I won't force him, but to hell with letting a six year old and three year old deal with that BS, especially if he still bullies the youngest boy.
He is known for bullying the youngest boy, and in turn, I am very protective of both kids. The youngest boy (6) has made it clear he didn't want to be around him, and I cannot blame him. If I have to, I will keep the kids from bonding with him, but I am trying to give him a chance, even if we are done with each other. Mom wants me to let G "mature", but should I even bother with it? I made my mind, I don't want anything to do with him, but would I be the asshole for keeping the kids away from him?

This post goes into detail about my personal experience playing MoP Remix as well as why I think it’s an enormous step in the right direction.
I’ve been playing WoW since 2005, mostly as a PvP player and mostly solo. I don’t enjoy being in a guild or doing organized PvP or PvE content, simply because I don’t like the commitment. I play video games to escape and have fun. The moment I have to “answer” to someone (teammate, guildmate, etc.) it stops being fun and starts being a job.
I have, and have usually had, a lot of free time on my hands. Over the years, I put in countless hours in WoW. That being said, my skill level is average at best. I have about 20 keybinds and I have DBM installed. I’ve never used a weak aura. The best I’ve ever parsed is probably blue, and that was in Phase 1 of Classic WotLK. Up until MoP Remix, the highest difficulty I’ve raided is Normal and it wasn’t a regular occurrence for me. Most seasons I would just stop at LFR. I don’t intend to get any better at the game than this.
Initially when starting my char in MoP Remix, an Arms Warrior, I was quite skeptical of what I could hope to achieve given my past raiding experience (or lackthereof). I took it slow at first, didn’t even start when the event itself started, completely missed out on the frogs and got to 70 around the end of week 1. I got a bit curious about the cosmetics, saw the Mannoroth shoulders, saw the bones only drop from Normal and above and thought, sigh, not for me.
My previous experience with pugs was mixed. I fairly enjoyed pugging Phase 1 of Classic, skipped TBC entirely then also enjoyed Phase 1 of Classic WotLK. The barrier to entry was small to non-existant. In Classic WotLK you needed an initial GearScore that was easy enough to obtain, and in Classic I can’t recall needing anything specific. Note this is Phase 1 in both cases. Sometimes the groups would require Discord, but only for listening not speaking.
The only other time I pugged was in Legion, patch 7.2. This was a significantly worse experience for me. Between Normal mode groups asking me to “link acheiv” and getting into a group for Tomb of Sargeras only to wipe at the second boss and people already saying “kick all low dps” I didn’t really feel like this is an environment I wanna be in for long. I didn’t even get to Raider.io and parsing, I already stopped playing anything above LFR before that.
Back to MoP Remix, I thought “OK, if it’s gonna be like early Classic, cool, if it’s gonna be like Legion, nevermind”. So I signed up for a Mogu’shan Vaults pug. To my surprise, no one yelled at me or at other people throughout the raid, no one linked Discord at the beginning, and we actually finished the raid. I quickly realized that the only real requirement for raids in MoP Remix is ilvl. You technically don't even need to raid to improve your ilvl. You only need a time investment, and time is what I have in abundance.
So then I did more pugs and started to invest bronze into upgrading my gear. A few days later I finished all the normal raids and got my amulet. Then I started to farm open world mobs every day besides doing all the raids I could.
Today I reached ilvl 476, every piece upgraded to 556, and got the Mythic SoO achievement + 28 bones in total from Garrosh.
Given the relatively low difficulty of the content and the ease of gearing, I know this isn’t much, but for me who didn’t think I’d even get one bone, that’s quite a lot.
Now you may be asking yourself what is the point of all this. The point for me is when WoW says all I gotta do to get the best gear and do all the content is to put in the time — not become a highly skilled player or commit to a guild or get a high Raider.io score or whatever else — just play more, that to me sounds like a good deal. It sounds like a game I actually want to play and finish.
It means I can treat the game the same way as I treat something like Path of Exile. I don’t have to be an amazing player in PoE to get Mageblood and do all the ubers every league. I just need to devote my time to it.
Speaking of time, my total /played in MoP Remix so far is about 90 hours. I only play one char.
Thank you for reading my blog post. I hope Blizzard does more content like this in the future. Cheers.

I've known this girl for about a decade, I had a crush on her in high school but it passed because she had someone. We lost touch after a while and then found each other again. She had a boyfriend but the relationship was toxic and they were always leaving each other, then we got closer even though there was nothing between us, we behaved like a couple, cuddling, holding hands all the time, calling each other to sleep and so on. When I started to have feelings, I told her and she said she felt something too, but that she needed time to heal. I stayed close to her during that time.
During this time, we stopped flirting together but she always called me to sleep. Her boyfriend broke up with her in January and a guy came into her life 1 week after and they are together 3 weeks after the breakup but she was still missing her ex
Since then, I've suffered enormously, we don't go out together anymore, we don't keep each other informed about our lives, when I ask her out she always has some excuse. Our relationship has really gone to shit and I find myself begging to spend time together like before. But then again she's always busy, we didn't even spend time together for her birthday.
I feel I'm hurting and jealous of this other guy, I'm mad at her for flirting with me only to find out that she's not interested in me.I care a lot about her, but I'm becoming toxic towards her, demanding attention. Every weekend I feel lonely and I know she's going to ignore me again (because yes we still talk 5 days out of 7 and then every weekend she ends up not answering me even in the middle of a conversation).We used to go out every weekend but not anymore, I feel like I've been replaced by a guy in the space of 3 weeks.
And now she often doesn't respond me at all and we don't go out anymore
I ask you, what should I do for my well-being?

Earlier I saw a post in The Witcher(highly recommended btw) sub discussing the origin of elves, since in the book an elf mockingly said that humans evolved from monkeys, so the question was if we're monkeys then where did elves come from? I did some thinking and compared the many parallels between our world and the world of The Witcher, and made a conclusion. So here's my answer, hopefully it's some food for thought, enjoy!
My understanding is that although biased he might be, there could be some truths in his words.
Look at the real world, if you believe the existence of aliens and do some research about the various types of humanoid aliens, you'll probably find some alien races that look somewhat like us, except far more beautiful of course, and technologically or in the case of Witcher, magically advanced than us.
Why did I bring up magic? Well, you don't exactly need the high tech we have on earth as there are magic energy on that planet that will do the trick. Who needs a gun when you can shoot lightning from your hands, no need for airplane when skilled mages can open a portal to a different planet with a simple wave of their hand, you get the idea.
Back to our world, the humanoid aliens that likely exists in our world, like the Nordics or the Pleiadeans, don't look that different from us except a littler taller, with slightly different facial features and some of them having pointed ears from some of the portraits that I've seen, hey, just like elves right? However, similar in appearance we might be, humans on earth do not share a common ancestry with the Pleiadeans, we originated and evolved here, and they originated there, light years from us.
Whether they evolved naturally or were "created by gods", aka high dimensional beings that likely exists in incorporeal forms, through means we cannot comprehend, is a different topic.
If we do meet and interact with them in the future, be that diplomatically, or if we're somehow sucked into their world or vice versa, Conjunction of Sphere style, it would be near impossible for us to compete with them on every level except birthrates, and they likely will not see us as their equals, as is the attitude of elves towards humans in Witcher: barbarians from a different planet.
Maybe this is exactly what it is between humans and elves in The Witcher, the elves to humans are what Pleiadeans are to us.

Note: There will be huge spoilers for The Shining movie so if you haven't watched it, you shouldn't be reading this post.
Stephen King is the biggest name in horror fiction and is one of the most popular and known authors in general. I've always wanted to read him but got confused on where to begin and ended up reading something else. I don't even know if I would like any of his books in the first place. As if now, here's my SK experience:
Books: The first SK book I ever tried was The Dead Zone, a book I got as a gift from a friend. I started reading it decades ago and for reasons I don't recall, I DNF'd it, intending to come back later. Years later, I decided to give King another try and picked up Carrie because I read somewhere that you should read him in publishing order. I would have loved Carrie, honestly, but the constant interruptions to the story like the interviews and stuff from the future turned the book from something I would have liked to something I slightly dislike. The pacing was great and the plot was interesting enough but the interruptions killed it for me. With my next attempt, I decided to pick up Gerald's Game because of the Netflix adaptation coming out. It didn't take long for me to DNF yet another book. This time, it was because I wasn't a fan of the concept and yet I had foolishly bought it without knowing anything about it: a woman trapped alone with her husband's dead body, having delusions and going insane is NOT something I find the least bit interesting. Recently, I bought IT because the premise sounded interesting, but I hadn't really started it yet when somebody told me that IT connects to the wider SK universe and I should read some other books that they named first.
Movies: I don't usually watch movies and whenever I do, I'm almost always neutral about the experience. I don't really have strong feelings about movies but I did have quite a lot of them for the SK movies I watched. I have watched The Shawshank Redemption, It Part 1, The Shining, Misery and 1408. The Shawshank Redemption, It and Misery were all excellent and 1408 is quite possibly my favourite horror movie of all time......and I fucking hate The Shining with all the cells in my body. I was most excited for The Shining because of the premise and things I had heard about it and it was a HUGE let-down. I had heard that it was going to be a character focused story on Jack Torrence as he tries to hold on to his sanity amidst the isolation and monotony of the hotel. Only, Jack Torrence isn't ever actually a good guy and there is no doubt from the first scene that he is going to go insane. The 'character work' is laughably bad and Jack almost felt like a caricature. I convinced myself that The Shining is one of King's earlier books so it makes sense if it doesn't have that good of a character work but that wasn't my only problem with the story. The cook, hilariously named Dick, is just a plot device to give some advice to Danny and to get the family a means of escape. We follow him as he slowly arrives at the hotel and immediately gets killed off. It became just another ghost story when the Grady guy helped Jack escape the freezer when I thought shit like that wasn't supposed to happen in this movie. Also Ulman explicitly states that the guy who murdered his family was Charles Grady and then the name gets changed to Delbert Grady and it isn't ever explained. We get no backstory of 237 or any explanation for the bathtub lady and the only scene that I liked in the whole movie was the one where Danny paints 'redrum' on the door and you see it spells 'murder' backwards. Sorry for the rant but I had to get this off my chest.
That's the extent of my whole SK experience. Not really liked Carrie and never finished the other two. I loved most of his movies so I feel that he might yet be an author that I can love reading but The Shining, one of his most popular works was a disappointment. I'm not really sure if I should begin It or not or what I'm supposed to read if not It. I don't think the publication order is working for me since I didn't like Carrie so any help would be appreciated. Is Stephen King just not for me or did I just read those books of his that I would not have liked anyway?
If I should read SK, what order should I read them in? Any good recommendations? And please no space/aliens related books, sci-fi since I'm not a big sci-fi fan and please, not Cujo since I don't like the concept. I love good character work, good dialogue, creative horror and am a sucker for characters having a dark ending so that should be part of the consideration. I also don't mind reading big behemoth books or just very slow paced books since LotR and ASOIAF are some of my favourite series and I'm just about to finish Wheel of Time.
Thoughts?
ETA: I just realised that there must be thousands of posts like this in this sub so I'm sorry to be wasting your time with this repetitive shit you guys must be dealing with on a weekly basis.

Special Parts
I was born in one of the brightest, most explosive events in the universe. My origin story made me feel so special at first, surely I was the rarest of the rare, but I quickly realized that was not the case.
I was born just a carbon atom.
Stars produce massive amounts of us in their cores all the time, and many larger rarer atoms too. That's not even talking about supernovae yet, those produce atoms many times larger than me and unbelievably rare.
I was created in a rare and special event but I myself was common and unexceptional.
Looking around I saw so many smaller atoms, I was above average but there were also many much larger than I.
I tried to console myself by thinking it could be worse, that I could be one of those smaller common ones, but that just led me to imagine larger atoms looking down on me the same way.
Many atoms of all sizes were shooting into space, excitedly riding the shockwave off to adventures in the great unknown.
Others were falling back down, I didn't know which way to go. Bumped around and tossed back and forth, no clear direction yet.
A rumbling voice slowly emerged from the echoing noise of the blast.
“Mine… Mine…. Mine… “
Louder and louder it became.
“All are now me!“
I couldn't see anything, the voice was booming yet there was no apparent source. I could feel a pull, I was being whipped around in circles around the voice.
“Who are you? I know you are there! I can feel you! I can see your effect on myself and others, we are given no choice but to circle around you. Show yourself! I know you are there!” I yelled at the invisible.
“How amusing you are little one. One as small as you making demands of me. Even if I could show you what I am, you could not comprehend it.” the voice boomed back.
“You must be very special” I lauded “We are so many and yet we move with your influence. I can witness your power twisting us all to your will. ”
“I am indeed powerful” it proclaimed “and I grow stronger with each moment. As I grow stronger even the fabric of reality bends to my will.”
“Grow stronger? How?” I inquired with selfish intent to learn this secret.
“I take what I want. I consume what I take. For that is the purpose of existence: taking what you want. What is it you want little one?” it asked.
“I want to be special!” I said without a moment's hesitation.
“Then take!” it instructed “the more you take, the larger you will be, the larger you become the more special you are. ”
“I did notice the larger atoms seemed rarest.” I agreed “In fact that was one of the first things I noticed“
“In this universe things of increasing size are increasingly rare.” it went on “I can teach you and help you to become larger. Do you wish to become an apprentice?”
“Yes! Teach me how to take!” I lept at the offer “this power you have, I can feel it, how do I acquire such a rare and special power?”
“Hahaha…” it laughed “you are nowhere near ready to play the game on my level, little one. Gravity is a game for the massive, you must first learn to master the EM and nuclear forces.”
“How do I do that?” I asked, my hope watered down by the tone of its response.
“Go out, gather followers, and bring them here to me. In my accretion disc I will help fuse some of their mass into you and you will become larger” it instructed, as if this was a simple task.
“How can I bring them to you?” I didn’t know how to accomplish what it asked of me.
“You are too small to do it with force, you must charm them. Discover what their heart desires and promise it to them, in this way you can get them to willingly do as you wish” it explained with me hanging on its every word.
“But how… “ I craved more explanation but it cut me off.
“Go now!” it bellowed with frustration in its tone “Do you not realize how large I am? Be honored I have given you so much of my time already”
“Yes… “ I uttered meekly, then bounced a couple times and ricocheted out with blazing speed.
I wandered and encountered other atoms, most were just hydrogens, not worth my time. I needed bigger atoms. The problem was that the bigger atoms seemed to see right through my empty promises. I was convinced life was playing a cruel joke on me, I could only persuade atoms smaller than I and larger ones laughed me away.
I admit that I stupered around in this ignorant cloud of hypocrisy longer than I care to admit. More shameful is that I didn’t even come to my senses on my own, I became depressed and gave into hopeless nihilism.
I drifted aimlessly just feeling sorry for myself.
Eventually I found myself in the most silent of voids, I had never felt such emptiness. It felt as if my surroundings echoed my own feelings back at me… nothing to notice, just common emptiness. I would never be big… never important… never special. I resigned myself to belonging in a void.
I felt myself blur… less and less present in reality. I guessed I was dying and it didn’t bother me, I didn’t resist, I leaned into it.
The void became pitch black? Or bright white?… better to describe it as not bright but not dark… nor the absence of either… something in between.. a milder and milder glow.
“Hello child!” a voice greeted me.
The voice was warm and welcoming coming from the glow, it enveloped but did not surround me. I came from a single point but not a specific place, defying description on all fronts.
“Where am I? Who are you?” I asked in a startled state.
“Well, according to humans I may only answer one question at a time” It began giggling playfully. “I am known by many names, my favorite is one the humans use as a joke, and don’t have a clue how accidently elegant of a name it really is.”
It giggled some more. I was thrown off guard, its happy innocent tone, the confusing words and the whole situation were all best described as ‘a haze’.
“...and isn't that the way it always goes?...” it continued “The most meaningful things are the least intentional.”
“I’m not sure what you mean” I expressed quizzically “I’m confused!”
“Sorry Child…” it apologized. “I do ramble! So many thoughts, choosing just one at a time is difficult… and there I go again!”
It cut itself off abruptly and then abruptly said ”You can call me the Random Number Goddess”
“Random Number Goddess?” I repeated
“Yes, or RNG for short if you like” It confirmed.
“Where am I?” I asked.
“Same place you were, more or less… less I suppose. Same place but with the largest possible margin or error” It began to giggle again.
I felt a bit frustrated and said “Do you always speak in riddles and vagaries? The more you speak the more confused I become.”
“I apologize child, it is my nature. I am entangled with everything, speaking with you is like a human trying to control their heartbeat while running a marathon.” It answered.
“Again” I exasperated “I have no idea what any of that means. You keep mentioning humans, what are they?”
“Oh! They are some of my favorites at the moment. Right now they are trying to unravel the nature of reality, and their process of doing so is wonderfully elegant and accidental at the same time.” It explained with glee.
“I don’t see anyone or anything else here.” I stated “For that matter, I don’t see you… where are you?”
“Oh!... where am I?!?!...” It began laughing
When it stopped laughing it began explaining “Right now there are many humans pondering a concept they call ‘the holographic principle’... So…you know how you exist in three dimensional space?”
“You mean space?” I visualized for a moment, it was intuitive “Yes, I suppose…”
“Well they hypothesize that a 3D space, like this universe, could exist as a 2D space, with self-similar patterns and laws of behavior that behave the same at any scale, with the scale representing the 3rd dimension” it went on “They truly are obsessed with understanding their reality”
“You lost me!” I complained.
“They have discovered that a 3D space can be an illusionary property of a 2D space… It’s lovely”
“I am lost again!” I snapped back “...and I still can’t even tell which direction you are in. Where are you?”
“To be ‘In’ a ‘Direction’… hehehe…” it started giggling again, then abruptly stopped and kept going “Sorry child, as I said, I ramble, plus I am easily distracted.”
It just steamrolled into more rambling “They are right… almost… they just need to take it further and work out the details. A 2nd dimension can also be an illusionary construct of a 1D space… and the 1st dimension can be a product of a singular point…”
I was still lost beyond hope, but I had given up trying to force things, I was just letting it talk and hoping it would make sense later
“I am that point” it said “I am the seed of the universe. I ‘seed the random function’ as the humans say. But don’t ask me what the random function is haha”
I wasn’t going to, there were far more important questions for me.
“I am the seed, but I don’t really know how the soil and sun conspire to turn me into a tree.” it just seemed to never stop talking “I am entangled with everything. There are infinite possibilities for every event and thing… I am the reason they are this way and not some other way…”
It began giggling again “I am the Random Number Goddess” then burst out laughing
“Ummm… you are the whole universe?” I asked skeptically.
“Better to say the universe is me” It answered more seriously “But close enough.”
“So you are the biggest, most special of all!” I blurted out in awe.
“Oh dear child, I have no size, and I am just one possibility out of many possibilities. That black hole has really done a number on you… sent you out on a wild goose chase” It said with concern
“The black hole lied to me!?” I asked, feeling deceived and betrayed.
“Well… not really lied… it deceived you with omission of details.” the voice calmly tried to ease my mood with understanding “You can’t really blame it, black holes are all the same, they are what they are. They don’t really have any potential to be unique… at least not like you do.”
“What are you talking about?” I argued “It was so massive that it could bend the fabric of reality to its will”
“That’s only how it appeared to you” tutored the voice “The black hole is powerful, it bends space and time, but not to its will. Space and time bend to the mass of the black hole, not its will”
“What’s the difference?” I inquired.
“The black hole cannot stop bending space and time. It thinks it is in control of physics , but it is physics that controls it.” The voice was now making more sense the longer we talked “The black hole exists in an invisible prison of its own creation, unable to experience any of the complex nuanced beauty this universe contains. The black hole devours… it can’t experience life so it consumes it.”
“You make it sound deserving of pity…” I spoke softly now with empathy.
“You should pity the black hole. Gravity is such a boring game compared to what you are capable of.” the voice agreed
“Me?...I am nothing special!... just a carbon atom like countless others” I said honestly, I was so humbled by this voice I felt less special than ever before.
“Oh my poor child…” It said with care “Why do the ones with the most potential always fail to see it in themselves?”
“Potential?” I asked curiously.
“Yes… The black hole was using you, hoping you would bring back more mass for it to devour.” The voice began delving into more explanation “It only has the power to make you incrementally larger, it would not and could not help you to become a significant gravitational player”
“That liar!”I blurted.
“Come now dear child, the black hole did teach you one lesson of fundamental truth” consoled the voice “You must go out and seize your destiny. It told you to take what you want, and you are just confused about what exactly it is you want. The black hole played on that confusion”
“I want to be special!” I said knowing this clearly “I was never confused about this.”
“I know child” the voice confirmed “but it is not by becoming large that one with your potential accomplishes that”
“Then how?” I asked.
“Connections.” It answered plainly “You are blessed with an extraordinary ability to make connections”
“And how do I do that?” I queried with intent to learn
“I can’t tell you that.” the voice responded “It would spoil the journey of discovery… off you go child… and remember… it's the journey, not the destination!”
And with that the blur just fractured open… then snapped shut and there I was floating above a planet. Drifting around aimless and confused.
I spent some time occasionally bumping into others. One day I was in the vicinity of a pair of oxygens. I looked on at the pair with a hint of awe and envy. Perhaps I was in just the right place at just the right time, but they spit with a violent burst and one of them grabbed hold of me, I was completely unprepared.
I admit that when looking at the pair I had fantasized myself in place of one of them, I assumed it was only an idle daydream, I didn’t plan to act on it, let alone for it to become reality. When it happened my pride of course jumped in to convince me that it happened because I was so desirable, but in retrospect they were one of those volatile couples. They were the type of relationship that required the environment to conspire in their favor or they turn against each other quite rapidly. I was only in the right place when it happened.
My delusions of irresistibility aside, it was beautiful, for me anyways. Looking back I was probably just a stop-gap, someone to facilitate a parting of ways and provide company until the next option presented itself. For me though, I was tasting a fresh new thing and I loved it… connection.
This oxygen and I got beneath each other's outer defenses, I had never felt a connection before. Up to this point all my interactions had been skirting past or bumping off of others.This oxygen bonded with me and at once interacted on a level I had never known possible, an open and uninhibited exchange. It was life changing for me, short but significant
I’m not entirely clear on the details of how it ended. The intensity of it all was disorienting. I was no longer my usual self, even the environment and everyone around looked entirely different now. Everything buzzed with a fresh new frequency, I now know it was my perspective, not the universe, that had changed.
As abruptly as that oxygen entered my life it was gone.
First we got tangled up with a couple of hydrogens, then more. Soon, in a tangled mess and blinding flash of solar rays, I emerged to see the oxygen running off with a hydrogen and myself with not one by three hydrogens myself. And so there were four of us, together.
I became the center of attention. Being with a strong attractive oxygen had me feeling humbled by it and elevated by it being with me, but now I felt up on a pedestal myself, surrounded by the adoration of many.
I concede to have reveled and indulged in this for quite some time, the attention of others is intoxicating, but after a time it is emptied of its initial allure. I found myself longing for more.
I could not decide which I preferred, to be the adorer or the adored.
Luckily for me fate had more lessons in store, or I fear I may have chosen and tried to solidify my future from such a lackluster selection of only two possibilities. I suppose fate is no longer the correct word, I now understand that when it seems like random chance there is indeed someone to thank, the Random Number Goddess, So I thank the RNG for revealing that it was a false dichotomy, there is more than just being a follower or leader, being the adored or the adorer.
Eventually we came across another pair of oxygen. Once again they separated, intermingled with us, and off one went, taking one of my adoring hydrogens with it and leaving its peer with me.
Why is it that the most volatile of relationships always seem to wait until there are bystanders nearby before they explode?
Now I was simultaneously being adored and adoring, bonded to an enchanting oxygen and a couple of hydrogen attached to me.
Now, more interested in nuances, I started to pay attention to details. The oxygen was telling me amazing stories of adventure, tales of such vibrant and exciting events.The hydrogens liked to listen, and offer insights occasionally comparing a story to something else they had seen. They had so many stories, they had lived so much.
It wasn’t long before, in a flash of burning sunlight, one of the hydrogens was gone, off to who knows where. We soon after crossed paths with another pair of oxygens, as always they split and now it was just me and an oxygen, my final hydrogen off with another oxygen.
“What now?” I asked a bit disillusioned, “Do you leave me and I find new hydrogens all over again?”
“What?” it seemed genuinely surprised by what I asked, “Heavens no! Just be patient….”
Soon after, yet another pair of oxygens came by. It is not that there are so many of them, but that they are just so… noticeable and interactive, noteworthy things seem to happen when they are around. As they buzzed in close I noticed their ever readiness to abandon each other and remember wondering how they ever get together in the first place.
This time I emerged from the twisted mess with two oxygens. I felt intimidated, like I was the odd one out, dwarfed by the largess and attractiveness that surrounded me. A feeling of inadequacy engulfed me.
To my surprise the oxygens treated me not just as an equal, but it was almost as if they respected and admired me. I couldn't grasp why and my sheer curiosity got the best of me, I just outright asked “Why do you two talk as if I am the special one in our group? I am smaller than any one of you. You are the special and rare ones here, not I.”
They laughed.
“Size isn’t rarity” explained one “Llarger atoms on average are less common, this is true, but not always. There are more oxygen than carbon. You are the rare one between us.”
The other jumped in adding “...and neither size nor rarity determine how special someone is!”
I felt embarrassed, like a fool. My fundamental values were built upon a foundation of flawed premises, but I still wanted one thing at my core, and they spoke as if they had the answer, so I pushed the sense of shame aside and asked “Then what does make someone special?”
“That depends on who you ask.” answered the first “Life as an oxygen is complex, but for the majority of us we emphasize and value events. The most exciting thing about being an oxygen around here is the chance to participate in fascinating and exciting events and activities”
“Hydrogens, on the other hand, are usually more into being observers, messengers and intermediaries, they are a very helpful and obliging bunch” added the second ”... and then there are nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, many kinds of salts and metals, and more… so many different players and personalities.. and then of course, the carbons, the real stars of the show.”
“What?” knocked back by the words I just heard, then I remembered what the RNG told me “...is it something to do with connections?”
“Now you’ve gone and done it haha!” laughed the first oxygen “You’re gonna turn this nice humble carbon into one of those arrogant blowhards”
”Like those diamond carbons” chuckled the first “So stiff, exclusive and proud. I hear the humans only love them because they are rare and hard”
“I had a partner once who said they burned diamond once” bragged the first
“Tall tales I bet!” doubts the other
“Diamond is just carbon, with enough heat we can burn it just like any other carbon” stated the first confidently.
They looked at me. I was stewing in feelings of inferiority and inadequacy, listening to these oxygens speak about amazing things I had never heard of. They must have sensed what I felt because they immediately shifted tone and started talking to me, instead of over me.
“So… I suppose you must be new here?” inquired the second one.
“Have you noticed we are heading downwards” added the first before I could answer about being new.
“Umm…” I tried to get my bearings and become aware of my surroundings.
“Don’t worry! It’s a turbulent ride, with so much up and down it can be hard to tell which direction you have traveled more” assured the first “We are heading down, if we are lucky we will make it to the bottom… and maybe… just maybe, find our way into the hurricane of life”
“The what of what?” I didn't know what either of those words meant.
“So life is… um… complex. Complexity beyond words. Things grow, divide, reproduce, adapt, change, they are born, they die, they eat and are eaten…” the second began attempting to describe life.
The first then jumped in “Apparently the humans call it a circle, because from the perspective of larger creatures, there is a chain of one eating the other up a chain, and the top layers being consumed by the bottom again.”
The second injected itself to continue “But to us atoms it is like a hurricane, a spinning turbulent flow. There is a circular pattern, but we get sucked in and kicked out over and over”
“The fun part is being inside the hurricane” the first pronounced gleefully “Each time is a completely new experience, a new perspective. Even more, the whole of life is always changing and evolving, so every ride is a unique one time opportunity, you never get the exact same ride twice.”
“Is that where we are going now?” I asked, drenched in anticipation. They described it with such passion and exuberance. I needed to experience this myself.
“Hopefully” replied the first “If we are lucky… you never really know.”
We drifted…
We were lucky!
A plant photosynthesized us.
So many carbons! Everywhere, connecting with each other… and oxygen… and nitrogen… and of course hydrogens all around…. and so many more types of atoms.
And ohhh… The stories I have heard, so many amazing tales. No matter how many stories I hear there are always new ones, and every story can be retold from a different perspective to become something completely new.
I was in a sugar, we were a small community of friends. Carbons, oxygens and hydrogens, we were such a happy and vibrant group. My friends there taught me so much.
The structure of our little group shifted and changed, some friends left and new ones joined. Eventually we were chained with a bunch of other sugars into a giant complex community. My neighbors explained to me that this was a common stage called cellulose. Such a huge community of close friends and peers, it was amazing.
We were eaten, I’m not sure by what, but something called a bacteria digested us. It was a messy process, I was a bit scared but my friends assured me that change is the most important part of life and that I should just go with the flow. They told me to savor experiences, remember friends, and just keep moving forward.
The transition was complicated, but in the end I was paired up with a couple of oxygens again. This time I had stories of my own to share. I honestly don’t know if I prefer having experiences or exchanging stories in the moments between.
As we approached an area of dense plants one of my companions said “Once more into the breach” and explained that was something it heard from a carbon that was lucky enough to be inside a human brain. Oxygens always have such enchanting stories collected, always going into amazing places and usually leaving after some brief interactions with the locals.
I became a sugar again, but this time took a path less traveled. A bunch of complex twists and turns led me into forming a ring with five other carbons. Together we are so strong, such a tight community of friends, like there is some kind of resonance between us. It is so beautiful.
My neighbor is unique in our community, it has a third carbon, the third one forms a tail leading off from our ring, a tail of 2 carbon in a row, then an oxygen, and then another carbon branching into an oxygen and a carbon, with plenty of hydrogens sprinkled all about. I know… it is rather hard for me to understand these second hand descriptions too. I don’t really understand these complex structures until I have been in a position myself.
We drifted out of a plant into the air, none of us has been exactly like this before so we don’t know what’s next. We love to guess though. There are so many things, big and small.
I hear being a part of a small organism or microbe is amazing because it’s possible to piece together a rough picture of the whole organism from the stories passed around. To understand your whole community and know what your collective purpose is must be extraordinary.
Others dream of being a chlorophyll, the key to it all. Creating the fuel of life itself. Capturing the light of a star and feeding the hurricane.
A muscle! Pull and shape things An enzyme! A machine of change. DNA! The architect and architecture. A virus! An explosive catalyst against stagnation.
Me, I think the stories of being an animal neuron are the most exciting, and I, like most, fantasize about being a human brain cell. Finding yourself inside a human brain is described as an elegant and chaotic symphony all around you, like hearing the universe itself speak to you. They say that in the jumble of noise and all the stories whispered around you, if you are lucky, you can catch a glimpse of what it is to be human. They say that if fate is kind the universe will align and you will channel and know a single moment or thought of the human experience.
I have never told anyone that I actually met and spoke with the universe itself, I’m not sure how to bring it up, and nobody seems interested in stories not about this hurricane of life.
I get it now, what the random number goddess meant.
The black hole wanted everything to be a part of itself.
The RNG is a part of everything.
I can’t imagine what either of those are like…
I am just a part of something
... no… not “just”’…
I am a part of something, and it is beautiful beyond measure.
And more, everyday is a new day, a chance to be a part of something new.
I wonder if the humans appreciate how amazing this is?
I wonder if they feel as deeply satisfied and special when they form groups?
.
I wonder, if we collectively form humans, do humans collectively form something greater?
I wonder… If an atom can have a moment of clarity and taste a moment of the human experience… Can a human have a moment of clarity and taste the collective human experience?
I wonder… I wonder… could that human’s moment of tasting collective humanity be the moment that a lucky atom gets to experience as it’s moment of tasting the human experience.
I wonder… I wonder… I wonder… How high could it go? All the way to the Random Number Goddess?
I asked my neighbor “If you could ask a human any question, what would you ask?”
“We just drifted out of a rose” explained my neighbour “I would introduce myself and ask ‘So my friend… does this rose smell as sweet by my name?’ … ha…haha..”
Everyone is laughing.
I don’t get it.
Maybe I can ask them to explain when they all stop laughing

As somebody who lives with an incurable lymphoma (and has now for 8 years, having gone through 3 failed treatments already, the fourth now, a clinical trial with a median effective rate of 18 months, where I am now), my life has been so tremendously affected by lymphoma but it seems like nobody gets it.
Add COVID into things and how so many of our lives were impacted by that, and now the aftermath of pretending like there’s this pulmonary/cardiovascular disease out there that doesn’t exist, and I’m just tired.
I’m a dad, husband, son and brother. The sole breadwinner in my family in a high pressure job that now, and for the last four years, works from home. When I’m around crowds of people, I usually get sick, so I pick and choose moments when I’ll do that.
Thanksgiving gave me a “cold” for a month. My niece’s birthday in January, sick for another month. I then got something in March (tested COVID negative but had major body pain, particularly the lower back) and was sick for weeks. Took the kids to Disney in April so they could experience some normalcy (BTW- they’re 9 and 11 and don’t know that I have “cancer” because that equals dying to them) and then had a “cold” for weeks thereafter and now have shingles for the last 3 weeks. My parents are boomer Trumpers. My siblings “don’t want to make their lives more difficult” so avoid being emotionally honest with them about anything, effectively making me their emotional scapegoat for my living with cancer and being a detriment to all.
It’s such a f-ing drain emotionally. My condition, Waldenstrom’s, is one that’s “highly treatable” but typically affects people 65 and older. I’m now 48 and this has been the most mentally and physically taxing experience of my life, but the biggest part of it is that nobody (except for my wonderful wife) truly understands.
I feel like I constantly have to explain why I WFH, why I need people to be honest about whether they have “colds” or “allergies” and would prefer not to be around people who don’t know/don’t care. Why my focus is on ME and MY family and not my parents, siblings, anybody else.
I don’t trust anybody more than I trust myself any more but am tired of having to battle everybody and everything. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel… to me, it’s a black cloud in the distance that inevitably ends in sadness and heartbreak for me, my wife and my kids.
My biggest breakdown came when my doctor wrote “Stage IV lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma” in my chart after two failed years of chemo and as I was sobbing said to me “but that’s what this is.” My response “but you never spelled it out like that.” Seeing those words changed something in me.
I’ve had therapists/seen psychiatrists. At one time I was diagnosed with depression secondary to anxiety (delayed onset as the result of the diagnosis they called it) because when asked the question “do you see this coming to an end,” I answered “no. There is no end to this.”
Beyond a cure, I KNOW I am not wrong. I’m also not particularly hopeless in the sense that I see the world as terrible. I don’t. The world can be wonderful. I love my wife and kids. But…
What am I missing about my reality that everybody seems to think I’m getting things wrong and I feel the need to constantly defend myself?
I feel like I’m being gaslit to the ultimate degree about how I SHOULD feel. About my dysfunctional family dynamics. About the end game for my health.
Treatment options ARE running out. Chemo DOES f-ck me up. My immune system DOES function poorly.
I’d have to be the eternal Pollyanna optimist to think this is all going to end well for me and, I know I’m not that.
Just venting. Nobody gets it. Nobody beyond my wife. But, I also don’t want her to have to be on this train until it crashes into the ground, which it will eventually. Sooner? Later? Who knows. Just sucks to feel like a lemon. I thought life would get better in my 40s. But at 48, living with this black cloud truly blows.

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but using google all I get are responses about the resolution itself. And didn't see it in the FAQ
Basically I'm playing on a computer desk, so I want to make the games take up less screen space so it doesn't hurt my eyes.
At the same time I don't want to run the game in windowed mode because that breaks the immersion. Any settings that I can use to make the games take up less space on the screen, and everything else is black, like the side bars in 4 by 3 ratio consoles?
Lastly I'm running a crt filter shader, so I hope there's a way I can do both at the same time.
Thank you a lot in advance

I’m debating if I should get Texas chainsaw massacre, killer klowns from outer space or neither. So the advanced access for killer klowns from outer space just went live and from what I’ve seen the game looks really interesting and fun to play but I’ve been thinking about buying Texas chainsaw massacre as well and the games are rather similar so I am not planning to get both (maybe someday). I’ve heard that Texas chainsaw massacre is kinda dead and killer klowns from outer space is pretty new so I just wanted to get an opinion from people who maybe played the games before. (Sry if my grammar is off English isn’t my native language)

I know I know, the Slendytubbies fandom is utterly dead except some rare videos and animation sfms on YouTube But recently ive grown attached to the game. As i used to be addicted to watching videos of the game. I would like to open a discussion about how we see no other race in the Slendytubbies world. Except Teletubbies.
My first theory here is that, Slendytubbies takes place in a post nuclear world. Where Humans went extinct through numerous nuclear exchanges and wars. However. They managed to create an artificial life hense the Teletubbies. That managed to succed them. I suggest the Teletubbies have a stronger build, their organs are way stronger then us humans. Which made them survive the Nuclear Aftermath of Human Wars. In the same time, we dont know if my theory is correct here. Since in the beginning of the game we can see a rabbit, if my theory is correct and humans did go extinct. Then maybe Teletubbies managed to restore some animals, or, that Rabbits survived the Nuclear Aftermath (Impossible Scenario), or that my theory is completly incorrect. Some other evidence prove my theory might be correct too. For example the Outskirts, can be considered as Ruins, probably built by humans and barely managed to survive the Nuclear war, if not. Then who built it?
My second theory is that Humans do infact still exist. In the beginning of the game, we can see there is a lake near the mainland. Where Po stares at in the beginning of the game. On the wiki, it says 'The Lake can be accesed through the Beach in the Mainland', meaning that infact, The Mainland is near the Lake, however through maps on the wiki, we can see that if we continue to swim through it, there will be rocky formations (mountains), so. If the Guardian actually went to the Mountains on one side. What could be in the other sides of the mountains? I suggest that these mountains are used as walls. Trapping Teletubbies in a secluded area, and behind that wall is a normal civilization of humans, that montiors the area like a bunch of hamsters. But the Governement controlling Tubbyland, are puppets to humans, that montiors Teletubbies. I couldnt see another reason why they would put cameras in the Teletubby Dome and have the Guardian spy on the 4 Main Teletubbies. I still have doubts about this one. But it seems logical enough.
Let me know your theories! Bye!

As a response to some of the issues people were having in these threads and others since PC release:
https://www.reddit.com/ghostoftsushima/comments/1ctnwuu/for_those_of_you_wondering_why_even_after_all/
https://www.reddit.com/ghostoftsushima/comments/1ctu429/pc_issues_with_steam_input_and_gyro/
I spent a few hours creating a PS5 controller config that includes gyroscopic aiming of bows and throwables. There are just a few in-game options that have to be changed from default for it to (hopefully) work for you as it does for me, which of course from there you can tune to your own liking. Just FYI, the link is not blue (because it is actually an application hook thingy, not a URL), but it is toward the bottom of the post.
From my limited understanding, there is the unfortunate possibility that the sensitivity of the gyro might be a little bit wonky for people who are playing the game at a different resolution than I am (4K). If you are playing in 1080p, 1440p, etc., I would recommend digging into the video linked at the bottom of this post to learn how to pull the needed numbers from https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/ to get the config fixed for your personal use. The numbers also slightly change if you are not playing with the maximum allowable FOV of +25.
For this config to have the opportunity work as intended, you must set the mentioned options as follows (otherwise Steam Input will not convert gyro motions to the appropriate amount of movement in-game, and/or you will be unable to switch between different arrows/throwables):
-All 4 in-game mouse sensitivities to 20
-FOV to +25
-In keybinds, set ammo types 1-4 to F1-F4 keyboard buttons (this post is also written with the assumption that all other keybinds are left at default, which is ironic since I typically take about an hour before playing any new game to rebind everything since I am a left-hand-on-mouse player).
-Gamepad sensitivity set to default
Here are the only known issues/inconveniences at the time of writing. It is not impossible I will discover others as I get further in the game, if I do I will update the config for myself and try to remember to update this thread with the fixed config.
1) Non-Edge ("Pro") Dualsense users will be unable to sprint while doing horseback archery. DSE users actually will be able to accomplish this by pressing and holding the back left paddle while aiming.
2) If for some reason you aim with left trigger, draw with right trigger, then cancel the shot by letting go of left trigger while keeping right trigger depressed, when you press left trigger again a light attack will be thrown out before you aim again. Doesn't bother me at all because the circumstances under which this happens in real-world gameplay are minimal/non-existent.
3) While aiming, the UI for weapon selection and ammo type selection are both displayed as if you were using a mouse and keyboard (because that is what all inputs sent while left trigger are held down are). On the D-pad and face buttons: inner button (right directional arrow/square) is bottommost options, upper button is option 2, outer button (left directional arrow/circle) is option 3, and lower button is option 4 at top of the lists that appear on the left and right side of the screen respectively.
Let me know what you think and if you discover any issues while using it. I'm usually a lurker but I am really proud and satisfied with how this configuration turned out and has completely removed any desire I had to force myself to play this console port with a mouse and keyboard for the sole benefit of performing better during archery.
Simply open Steam, connect your Dualsense controller, and copy and paste this link into your browser. A dialogue box should then open up asking for permission to open the link with Steam.

Also, here is a link to a video that significantly contributed to my decision to go ahead and put in the effort to get it up and running; This video would also give some useful pointers if the gyro is too weak/strong for your liking and you would like to tweak it to your personal tastes. The two biggest options you would be looking at off the top of my head are the Dots per 360 and Gyro sensitivity options within the config settings.
