We know that the Vile Thieving Bird (VTB) stole weavers eye and dropped it somewhere in the mortal world. Now as its a divine level item i 100% know it hasnt been eroded with time. So currently the eye is out there waiting for someone to come and claim it.
So i think sunny will lose one or both of his eyes in a battle somewhere. This will cause him to have to wear an eyepatch on an eye or be fully reliant on his shadow sense. Now this will continue until he finds weavers eye that will be unable to drive him mad as he is already blind and he will place it into him empty eye socket and be able to see the strings of fate without weavers mask. He will wear an eye patch over that eye and only remove it when looking at fate.
Alterantively, nothing happened to his eyes and he will still have his sight. When he finds weavers eye he doesnt look into them or his matching lineage protects him from the madness. He will then ingest the eye orally and that will cause his eyes to be mutated and strengthened.
Another option which i find least likely is that Cassie has come into contact with weavers eye alreadt in her first nightmare and that is what caused her to develop her aspect that lost her her sight but gave her an even better vision into fate and the future. She might've absorbed the eye somehow and got an attribute like sunny but going by the name of all his attributes. Them having the weave suffix i dont think so as she hasnt been weaving fate, at least not actively.
I feel like the eye will be the final piece of weaveattribute that Sunny will obtain so it will be way into the future from now. We've seen each of the weaves transform his body depending on the type of weave. So bone weave transforms his skeletal system and blood weave transforms his circulatory system. Soul weave also has transformed his soul cores by making them stronger and adding extra golden lines into so they might not just be shadow cores into the future and might affect fate. Maybe each of his avatars will be an alterante version of him depending on different decisions/choices he makes. And with weavers eye he will be able to see each of those choices and the results.
But anyway, i strayed a bit. So ill get back to weavers eye. Do you remember that weavers blood ate shadow gods blood? Yh me too and i personally dont believe it has just been gone into the void like that. The abilities it wouldve given sunny might now be gone but i think it has strengthened his blood and it will only show its effects after he has gotten all 7 of weavers lineages. And when he has gotyen the eye it will allow him to jave shadow vision with his own eyes, it will make him able to create shadow bones and his blood will jave shadow aspects. These all correspond to each of the weaves he has gotyen and the part of his body it affects. So basicalky it will infuse his body with a shadow property so that he is no longer either a fleshly body or a shadow body while using shadow step but something inbetween that has shadow flesh and blood and shadow bones.
Well just my thoughts anyway and he can probaly already do the shadow flesh thing i will make another theory about why i think so soon. Anyways just my 2 cents.

I’m writing this in desperation. I have been suffering for over a week of what I assumed was COVID. 10 days in I developed ear pain. After visiting an UrgentCare I was given an antibiotic. For 3 days straight, (since being one the antibiotic) I have had a constant ringing in my right ear. Debilitating and crippling my train of thought and honesty causing extreme frustration.
Should I see a ENT dr? Is there anything I can do to ease the ringing? Is there a good outcome or is the damage done, and I will have this for months? Years or longer? Thanks in advance.
It seems so minor compared to others on here, but it’s effecting my head and really messing with my ability to be happy.

So, I am trying to understand the migrant situation better so that I may become more educated and informed on this topic and be able to better understand something I currently find very confusing. I asked a series of questions in NoStupidQuestions and got some great responses, which have now triggered some follow up questions that I believe would be best answered by economists. I'm asking these questions here hoping to cut through the noise of political bias and get a truly educated opinion without some agenda or political rant behind it.
I'd greatly appreciate anyone who could answer one or more of these:

1. If US taxpayers are paying for migrants' cost of living while they await a judgement on their asylum status, how much does this cost actually impact the U.S. budget, future tax implications (raising taxes?), and American livelihoods?
   1. For example, if migrants get free healthcare, does that mean the cost of health insurance and medical procedures also increases, to make up for the associated expenses of offering free medical care?
   2. Does offering free housing increase rent by limiting supply or otherwise have other impact on the housing markets?
      1. And later on, when migrants get granted asylum, would this put a further strain on housing markets?
   3. Are the jobs associated with handling the migrant situation, and the increased spending, net-beneficial to the U.S. economy after all is said and done?
   4. Would these costs ever be recouped in the long-term, from the long-term benefits of adding more workers to the economy?
   5. What does the data say about migrants, job prospects, and welfare in the long-term, after they've been granted asylum?
2. Does the US have the economic resources or incentive to use AI to speed up the claims process, which seems to be what causes the most backlog between either issuing work visas or deporting migrants?
3. It's said that the majority of migrants are poor and undereducated, which makes them perfect for corporations to exploit in low-wage positions.
   1. Are they given low-wage positions while waiting for their asylum to be approved, or after they've been granted work visas?
   2. What is the net economic impact of this?
      1. Would this make food cheaper than otherwise not having this cheap labor?
      2. Does this "steal" the job of other Americans, or does it allow other Americans to search for more economically prosperous opportunities? What does the evidence or research studies say?
      3. This increases GDP, which boosts the economy right?
   3. Are businesses in America economically incentivized to support more migrant entries?

Of all American presidents, Lincoln, second, only to maybe Washington, is the most mythologized and deified. And as a result you can sometimes take for granted, like I did, that he’s a human being and that his skill in communication wasn’t something genetic.
But I’m reading Michael Burlingame’s massive two part biography of Lincoln and he gets down in the minute details of Lincoln’s childhood and what you see is Lincoln’s fascination with, in broad terms, language. Over and over again Burlingame talks about his hunger to understand how to communicate. He’d write on anything and everything he could from paper, to wood, to slate. He’d devour any books he could get his hands on and, if he didn’t understand a passage or phrase, he’d keep writing it and re-reading it until he understood. In his own words, he said it would drive him nuts if he couldn’t understand what a book or author was talking about
And learning that made me appreciate what Lincoln did. To my mind at least, this broke white trash kid was basically analyzing the English language and how to use it effectively. He’d break down a piece writing to its most basic elements and analyze the those constituent parts to understand how, why and what the writespeaker was attempting to do and what literary tools they were using to do it.
From that nearly subatomic knowledge, his own experience as a poor man and a generous helping of natural talent came the legendary Lincoln we remember today speaking at Gettysburg. Not a mythic figure but a self made man.

When you believe that something bad will happen, your body and mind will react in a way to match your expectations. This is the nocebo effect, similar to the placebo effect but with a negative outcome.
People think they're going to have bad withdrawal symptoms which causes the problems, once you tell yourself "everything is fine", your symptoms will vanish.
You can make a heaven out of hell or a hell out of heaven.

We've been dating for almost a year and live together, our anniversary is on Wednesday and we just had a lovely holiday but upon coming home the problems we've been having for the last 6 months hit her again and she is seemily certain that she needs to be in a relationship with a trans/cis woman which she realised after we agreed for her to have sex with my Mtf ex who my GF has become infatuated with but she is polysaturated so does not have time and space for another partner.
Since we are in an ENM/poly relationship I had hoped that she would be able to meet her needs with other people but for us to stay together but this combined with the stress from the recovery from her bottom surgery 3 months ago has effectively crushed her libido, and muted ourintimacy as she says she is not physically attracted to men including me although I did get one concession after watching am Evie Lupine video on the Split Attraction Model and I asked her if she might be homosexual buy biromantic to which she replied "I'm [OP's name]romantic" and that I was the only guy who is an exception for her.
Obviously I'm not thinking it's possible to change her sexuality but I was there when we had sex and we're intimate in the past and I'm straight(but pretty neutral in terms of genitalia) and am attracted to females/femininity and I know that if I'd had sex with a guy I would definitely not have enjoyed it like she seemed to.
I don't really know what to do because breaking up would be disastrous to both of us in terms of mental health and extremly disruptive in terms of lifestyle as she'd have to move out and I feel it's totally unnecessary as I'm certain she can meet her needs with someone else but for us to stay together.
We have planned on getting her a referral for sexual psychotherapy and for dental surgery which causes her to effectively prevent herself from embracing emotions that would make her smile and show her damaged teeth and she is now on anti depressants (that unfortunately make orgasm very difficult to reach) so hopefully these things will help the aspects of her mental health thar we can change.
I am encouraging her to explore this and meet people either through the events we sometimes attend in our local BDSM scene, or through the OK Cupid app to learn more about what she needs, and she has said I can too but I'm not especially interested as I'm Demisexual and am pretty much just interested in her but I feel this will be a slow burner as she is anxious and struggles to socialise but in the mean time she is comparing this relationship to a potential future one with a female and this is seriously harming our relationship, causing a dead bedroom and leading to frequent depressive episodes and difficult conversations that go on past 3am...
I maintain hope that things can work out for us considering the huge emotional, financial and time investment we have put into this relationship (although it feels a bit one sided of late) but this is getting exhausting and for the first time I have been genuinely angry (but not at her) and I'm never really angry at this kind of thing and was kinda bitter this afternoon when I came home and she hadn't cooked the dinner like she said she would(not her job really, but we had agreed so I wasn't expecting to cook that night) I wouldn't normally care but I'm getting exhausted with putting in all I can whilst she can't seem to reciprocate.
I broke down on the bed this afternoon and cried and she spent the afternoon really sad because she didn't want to hurt me.
Any advice or stories from your experience would be appreciated, Thanks.

When Nightcrawler was a child, his adopted mother – Margali Szardos - ripped his soul in half and used the magical portion as the source of her magic called the Winding Way. This is why practitioners in the Winding Way gain and lose their magical power in cycles – Nightcrawler’s magical soul is constantly fighting against them.
Amanda Sefton followed Nightcrawler back from Germany after Kurt joined the X-Men to figure out how to undo what her mother had done and put Kurt back together again. She eventually realized that she could accomplish this using Illyana’s Soul-Sword after Margali proved that it could influence the Winding Way during Excalibur’s Soul-Sword Trilogy (this would make sense with this theory as both the Soul-Sword and the Winding Way operate on the same magic – Soul Magic).
As a result of this, Amanda took over Limbo to further research the Soul-Sword and then fused the Soul-Sword with Nightcrawler’s being (3^rd Nightcrawler Solo series), hoping that by binding it to the non-magical portion of Nightcrawler’s soul would be able to bypass the Soul-Sword’s trait of harming magical entities and allow the Soul-Sword to act as a countercharm and allow the two parts of Nightcrawler to remerge together.
When the demonically possessed Pixie ripped the Soul-Sword out of Kurt during X-Infernus, she tore out a piece of Kurt’s soul with it – effectively making Nightcrawler and Magik Soul-mates and leaving behind the void that Margali used to form the Hopesword during Legion of X #10.
This whole series of events was orchestrated by Destiny giving Nightcrawler to Margali and telling her about a prophecy that “a” Soul-Sword would pass into both hers and then her daughter’s hands but would ultimately be the doom for both of them (Excalibur: Minus One). This prophecy caused Margali to try and steal Belasco’s Soul-Sword, sparking a feud between the two and drawing Belasco’s attention to Nightcrawler – the Source of Margali’s powers.
In response, Belasco had Nightcrawler (and the X-Men) kidnapped to steal that magical power for himself, but failed - resulting in the Soulless Nightcrawler in the Original Magik series. Giving up on Nightcrawler, Belasco turned his attention to Illyana which eventually resulted in the creation of the Soul-Sword as seen in the OG Magik series.
Destiny gave Nightcrawler to Margali in the first place - knowing Margali would make Nightcrawler into the Winding Way - to hide his true power from Enigma – the Nathaniel Essex that became a Dominion – and told Margali the prophecy of the Soul-Sword to bring about its creation and to create the means by which to restore Nightcrawler and create the Hopesword – a weapon needed in the defeat of Enigma.

(the wolf mutation has nothing to do with the quirks actuall power. Like Koda and Tokoyami's heads or minas antenna.)
Name Matthew Hammond age 15
Quirk: Power control
Has the ability to control a type of energy only he has.
Ways to use this energy is standard strength and speed by but the power into your muscle fibers and organs to enhance their performance. Matthew can also materialize this power in different ways. He finds out how he can do this by watching others, for example shock waves or energy tenticals.
The main weakness is energy drain. I know what y'all probably thinking, "this is like every quirks weakness cause I swing your quirk can tire you out", but his quirks energy drain.
When he use his quirk, the energy runs down and if uses a all out attack he loses the energy and cant use his quirk.
But on the good side , this energy grows back over time , and since it's his quirk energy if he goes to where he let out a huge attack, he can absorbed it back. It takes like an hour to get his power back to 100% naturally if he just goes on with his day.
Mutation: * Wolf Ears and Tail: Matthew has permanent wolf-like ears and a tail as a result of his mutation.* Laser Eyes: Matthew can emit powerful laser beams from his eyes. This mutation was a rare coincident.
Also he can share his energy with others to enhance their quirks cause energy works like that I think.
Elemental Forms and Powers:

1. Lightning Form (Name: Volt)

• Powers: Electrokinesis, Enhanced Speed

Weakness: If used too much then it will damage his nervous system temporarily.

1. Fire Form (Name: Blaze):

• Powers: Pyrokinesis, Heat Resistance

Weakness: if you use too much then we'll gain first degree burns.

1. Water Form (Name: Aquos):

• Powers: Hydrokinesis, Water Healing

Weakness: No clear weakness.

1. Ice Form (Name: Frost):

• Powers: Cryokinesis, Enhanced Durability

Weakness: if in a heated area, then he will get weak and slower.

1. Light Form (Name: Radiance):

Weakness: overused will make him temporarily blind

• Powers: Photokinesis, Illusion Projection

1. Darkness Form (Name: Shadow):

• Powers: Umbrakinesis, Intangibility

Weakness: Obviously light. Even a flashlight.

1. Plant Form (Name: Flora):

• Powers: Chlorokinesis, Plant Communication

1. Metal Form (Name: Alloy):

Weakness: Overtime he'll get weaker cause of rust. Water

• Powers: Metalkinesis, Enhanced Strength

1. Earth Form (Name: Terra):

• Powers: Geokinesis, Earth Manipulation

No clear weakness.
How this works is his power works like a computer l well more like just a normal computer, then a virus AKA and elements infects this power and then it slowly corrupts his powers AKA but there until his body is able to use a different elements,the form is only as strong as his original form because the element can only corrupt what is there,not make more power. A little bit of this energy is still there so that it can take back control. Each form has a mind of its own like some dark shadow type thing. The reason why his forms have minds of their own is cause if I gave him full control his forms he would swap to frequently and that would be two strong.
The reason why he can do this is when he was 3 is quirk was developing and he was exposed to radiation messing with his quirk genes and when his quirk developed it added this.
Hero Costume:

• Appearance: Matthew's hero costume features a sleek and modern design. It includes a green suit with black accents, symbolizing his main form's green hair and eyes.
• Symbol: The costume incorporates a stylized emblem combining the symbols of all his elemental forms, representing his fusion abilities.
• Support Items: Matthew carries specialized bracers that enhance his control over his energy whips. Additionally, he has utility pouches to store various tools and gadgets.

He also has tubes that are like water bottle size on this belt that he charges with his energy every night before he goes to bed in case he runs out of energy himself.
Maximum Output Move: Master Elemental

• Description: Matthew channels and combines the energies of all his elemental forms into one ultimate attack.
• Effects: Elemental tattoos appear on his body, symbolizing each element's power. Lightning appears on his head, fire on his chest, water on his left arm, ice on his right arm, light on his left leg, darkness on his right leg, plant on his right shoulder, metal on his left shoulder, and earth on his back. The attack unleashes a devastating and overwhelming burst of elemental energy.

Carrys amounted cannons inspired by Titan speaker man. They harness his power into either energy balls or just flat out lasers.
To make my self clear his max form when he uses all his elements he can only use 1/10 of his forms power including him as the main guy of this whole body.
PERSONALITY
He's smart nice in a way sometimes a prankster if you try to roast him you will go complete PackGod on you, if he's in a bad mood don't try to comfort him you'll just make things worse and not for him for you, he's really cocky, but not bakugo cocky hes just a bit over confident. He is very creative. He loves tech to the point if you break a 30 buck phone around him, let's just say you gonna want to do a crime in front of batman before Matthew finds you.

I know a lot of people use kings hunting for example. Here is what I found
This is what Valmiki Ramayan says:
तस्मिन्निति सूखे काले धनुष्मानिषुमान रथी व्यायामकृतसंकल्प: सरयूमन्वगान्नदीम
' व्यायामकृतसंकल्प: ' means with the aim of exercise.
He says that it was a good day,hence i went to the banks of Sarayu River to do some exercise.
So one thing is clear,he was there to exercise,and not to hunt or kill any animal.
Now lets see what follows:
अथान्धकारेत्वश्रौष जले कुम्भस्य पूर्यत: अचक्षुर्विषये घोष वारणस्येवनर्दत:
It was dark at that time,i was not able to see clearly. Then i heard a voice of an animal,i thought its an elephant.
Now where is Hunting and Deer written here? Nowhere…its just TV serials show.
Kings used to catch and capture elephants for their army. Dashrath also wanted to capture that elephant,and he shot an arrow which by mistake hit Shravan Kumar. He had poisoned arrows which could make the elephant lose his senses,but it hit a human,who could not bear its poison.
This is what Ayodhyakand,Valmiki Ramayan says:
ततोअहम शरमुध्दत्य दीप्तमाशीविषोपमम शब्द प्रति गजप्रेप्सुरभिलक्ष्यमपातयम
तत्र वागुषसि व्यक्ता प्रादुरासीव्दनौकस: हां हेति पततस्तोये वाणाद्व्यथितमर्मण:
Dashrath says-”Then to get the elephant i shot a poisoned arrow.I heard a crying voice of a human from the direction in which i shot the arrow.”
So please start to read Valmiki Ramayan,don't waste your lives in lies and TV serials.
Thanks.
Next many people say that hinduism doesent allow or disallow meat.
Yes.
The Sanatana Dharma Teaches First That We should not Kill Animals Or Eat Any Type of Meat.
References -
Quotes that disapprove, even denounce, meat-eating
Rig Veda:
“One who partakes of human flesh, the flesh of a horse or of another animal, and deprives others of milk by slaughtering cows, O King, if such a fiend does not desist by other means, then you should not hesitate to cut off his head.”
Rig-veda (10.87.16)
Do the Vedic literature allow meat-eating? Did Hinduism adopt vegetarianism from Buddhism? - The Spiritual Scientist
Manu-Samhita:
“Meat can never be obtained without injury to living creatures, and injury to sentient beings is detrimental to the attainment of heavenly bliss; let him therefore shun the use of meat. Having well considered the disgusting origin of flesh and the cruelty of fettering and slaying corporeal beings, let him entirely abstain from eating flesh.”
(Manu-samhita 5.48-49) “He who permits the slaughter of an animal, he who cuts it up, he who kills it, he who buys or sells meat, he who cooks it, he who serves it up, and he who eats it, must all be considered as the slayers of the animal. There is no greater sinner than that man who though not worshiping the gods or the ancestors, seeks to increase the bulk of his own flesh by the flesh of other beings.” (Manu-samhita 5.51-52)
“If he has a strong desire (for meat) he may make an animal of clarified butter or one of flour (and eat that); but let him never seek to destroy an animal without a (lawful) reason. As many hairs as the slain beast has, so often indeed will he who killed it without a (lawful) reason suffer a violent death in future births.” (Manu-samhita 5.37-38)
“He who injures harmless creatures from a wish to give himself pleasure, never finds happiness in this life or the next.” (Manu-samhita 5.45)
“By subsisting on pure fruits and roots, and by eating food fit for ascetics in the forest, one does not gain so great a reward as by entirely avoiding the use of flesh. Me he [mam sah] will devour in the next world, whose flesh I eat in this life; the wise declare this to be the real meaning of the word ‘flesh’ [mam sah].” (Manu-samhita 5.54-55)
“He who does not seek to cause the sufferings of bonds and death to living creatures, (but) desires the good of all (beings), obtains endless bliss. He who does not injure any (creature) attains without an effort what he thinks of, what he undertakes, and what he fixes his mind on.” (Manu-samhita 5.46-47)
“By not killing any living being, one becomes fit for salvation.” (Manu-samhita 6.60)

Mahabharata

1. “He who desires to augment his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures, lives in misery in whatever species he may take his [next] birth.” (Mahabharata, Anu. 115.47)
   
2. “The purchaser of flesh performs violence by his wealth; he who eats flesh does so by enjoying its taste; the killer does violence by actually tying and killing the animal. Thus, there are three forms of killing. He who brings flesh or sends for it, he who cuts off the limbs of an animal, and he who purchases, sells, or cooks flesh and eats it–all these are to be considered meat-eaters.” (Mahabharata, Anu. 115.40)
   
3. “The sins generated by violence curtail the life of the perpetrator. Therefore, even those who are anxious for their own welfare should abstain from meat-eating.” (Mahabharata, Anu. 115.33)
   
4. Bhishma started, “Numberless discourses took place between the Rishis on this subject, O scion of Kuru’s race. Listen, O Yudhisthira, what their opinion was. (Mahabharata, Anu. 115.7)
   
5. “The highly wise seven celestial Rishis, the Valakshillyas, and those Rishis who drink the rays of the sun, all speak highly of abstention from meat.
   
6. The self-created Manu has said that the man who does not eat meat, or who does not kill living creatures, or who does not cause them to be killed, is a friend of all creatures. Such a man is incapable of being oppressed by any creature. He enjoys the confidence of all living beings. He always enjoys the praise of the pious. The virtuous Narada has said that that man who wishes to multiply his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures meets with disaster. (Mahabharata, Anu. 115.9-12)
   
7. “That man, who having eaten meat, gives it up afterwards wins merit by such a deed that is so great that a study of all the Vedas or a performance, O Bharata, of all the sacrifices [Vedic rituals], cannot give its like. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.16)
   
8. “That learned person who gives to all living creatures the gift of complete assurance is forsooth regarded as the giver of lifebreaths in this world. (Mahabharata, Anu. 115.18)
   
9. “Men gifted with intelligence and purified souls should always treat others as they themselves wish to be treated. It is seen that even those men who are endued with learning and who seek to acquire the greatest good in the shape of liberation, are not free of the fear of death. (Mahabharata, Anu. 115.20)
   
10. “What necessity be said of those innocent and healthy creatures gifted with love of life, when they are sought to be killed by sinful wretches living by slaughter? Therefore, O King, know that the discarding of meat is the highest refuge of religion, of the celestial region, and of happiness. Abstention of injury [to others] is the highest religion. It is, again, the highest penance. It is also the highest truth from which all duty emanates. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.21-23)
    
11. “Flesh cannot be had from grass or wood or stone. Unless a living creature is killed it cannot be procured. Hence is the fault of eating flesh. The celestials who live upon Svaha, Svadha, and nectar, are given to truth and sincerity. Those persons, however, who are for satisfying the sensation of taste, should be known as Rakshasas [flesh-eating demons] pervaded by the quality of Darkness. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.24-25)
    
12. “If there were nobody who ate flesh, then there would be nobody to slay living creatures. The man who slays living creatures kills them for the sake of the person who eats flesh. If flesh were not considered as food, there would then be no destruction of living creatures. It is for the sake of the eater that the destruction of living entities is carried on in the world. Since, O you of great splendor, the period of life is shortened by persons who kill living creatures or cause them to be killed, it is clear that the person who seeks his own good should give up meat altogether. Those dreadful persons who are engaged in the destruction of living beings never find protectors when they are in need. Such persons should always be molested and punished even as beast of prey. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.29-32)
    
13. “That man who seeks to multiply his own flesh by (eating) the flesh of others has to live in this world in great anxiety, and after death has to take birth in indifferent races and families. High Rishis given to the observance of vows and self-control have said that abstention from meat is worthy of praise, productive of fame and Heaven, and a great satisfaction itself. This I heard formerly, O son of Kunti, from Markandeya when that Rishi discoursed on the sins of eating flesh. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.34-36)
    
14. “He who purchases flesh, kills living creatures through his money. He who eats flesh, kills living beings through his eating. He who binds or seizes and actually kills living creatures is the slaughterer. These are the three sorts of slaughter through each of these acts. He who does not himself eat flesh but approves of an act of slaughter, becomes stained with the sin of slaughter. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.38-39)
    
15. “That wretched man who kills living creatures for the sake of those who would eat them commits great sin. The eater’s sin is not as great. That wretched man who, following the path of religious rites and sacrifices as laid down in the Vedas, would kill a living creature from a desire to eats its flesh, will certainly go to hell. That man who having eaten flesh abstains from it afterwards acquires great merit on account of such abstention from sin. He who arranges for obtaining flesh, he who approves of those arrangements, he who kills, he who buys or sells, he who cooks, and he who eats it, [acquire the sin of those who] are all considered as eaters of flesh. [Therefore] that man who wishes to avoid disaster should abstain from the meat of every living creature. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.44-48)
    

16 . “Listen to me, O king of kings, as I tell you this, O sinless one, there is absolute happiness in abstaining from meat, O king. He who practices severe austerities for a century, and he who abstains from meat, are both equally meritorious. This is my opinion. (Mahabharata, Anu.115.52-53)

1. “Yudhisthira said: Alas, those cruel men who, not caring for various other sorts of food, want only flesh, are really like great Rakshasas [meat-eating demons]. (Mahabharata, Anu.116.1)
   
2. “Bhishma said: That man who wishes to increase his own flesh by the meat of another living creature is such that there is none meaner and more cruel than he. In this world there is nothing that is dearer to a creature than his life. Hence, one should show mercy to the lives of others as he does to his own life. Forsooth, O son, flesh has its origin in the vital seed. There is great sin attached to its eating, as, indeed, there is merit in abstaining from it. (Mahabharata, Anu.116.11-13)
   
3. “There is nothing, O delighter of the Kurus, that is equal in point of merit, either in this world or in the next, to the practice of mercy to all living creatures. (Mahabharata, Anu.116.19)
   
4. “Hence a person of purified soul should be merciful to all living creatures. That man, O king, who abstains from every kind of meat from his birth forsooth, acquires a large space in the celestial region. They who eat the flesh of animals who are desirous of life, are themselves [later] eaten by the animals they eat. This is my opinion. Since he has eaten me, I shall eat him in return. This, O Bharata, forms the character as Mamsah [meaning flesh] of Mamsah [me he, or “me he” will eat for having eaten him]. The destroyer is always slain. After him the eater meets with the same fate. (Mahabharata, Anu.116.32-35)
   
5. “He who acts with hostility towards another becomes victim of similar deeds done by that other. Whatever acts one does in whatever bodies, he has to suffer the consequences thereof in those bodies. (Mahabharata, Anu.116.36-37)
   
6. “Abstention from cruelty is the highest Religion. Abstention from cruelty is the greatest self-restraint. Abstention from cruelty is the highest gift.

Do the Vedic literature allow meat-eating? Did Hinduism adopt vegetarianism from Buddhism? - The Spiritual Scientist
Bhagavata Purana:
“Those who are ignorant of real dharma and, though wicked and haughty, account themselves virtuous, kill animals without any feeling of remorse or fear of punishment. Further, in their next lives, such sinful persons will be eaten by the same creatures they have killed in this world.” (Bhagavata Purana 11.5.14)
The real purpose of a sacrifice was not to replace a slaughterhouse but to test a Vedic mantra by giving an animal new life. Animals were used to test the power of Vedic mantras, not for meat. - Srimad Bhagavatam 4.4.6 purport

Cow Sacrifice ? Not At All :
Besides References,Here’s What Supreme Lord Saying About Sacrifice -
CC Ādi 17.158 — As a learned scholar, the Kazi challenged Caitanya Mahāprabhu, “In Your Vedic scriptures there is an injunction for killing a cow. On the strength of this injunction, great sages performed sacrifices involving cow-killing.”
CC Ādi 17.159 — Refuting the Kazi’s statement, the Lord immediately replied, “The Vedas clearly enjoin that cows should not be killed. Therefore every Hindu, whoever he may be, avoids indulging in cow-killing.
CC Ādi 17.160 — “In the Vedas and Purāṇas there are injunctions declaring that if one can revive a living being, one can kill it for experimental purposes.
CC Ādi 17.161 — “Therefore the great sages sometimes killed old cows, and by chanting Vedic hymns they brought them back to life for perfection.
CC Ādi 17.162 — “The killing and rejuvenation of such old and invalid cows was not truly killing but an act of great benefit.
CC Ādi 17.163 — “Formerly there were powerful brāhmaṇas who could make such experiments using Vedic hymns, but now, because of the Kali-yuga, brāhmaṇas are not so powerful. Therefore the killing of cows and bulls for rejuvenation is forbidden.
—Ādi 17: The Pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu in His Youth
Srila Prabhupada Says - So killing, killing is very bad, but killing for the sake of right cause of fighting, or killing in the sacrifice, they are not sinful. Sometimes in the Vedas killing is recommended, just like in the fight or in the sacrifice, but that is not sinful. Sometimes a brāhmaṇa is sacrificing, offering, performing great sacrifice, and the animal is put into the fire just to give him renovated, new life, not for killing, just to test how Vedic mantras are being properly pronounced. That will be test. When sacrifice is done, the fire is there, and old animal is put into the sacrifice, and he comes out with a new body. That means the Vedic mantras are being pronounced very properly, and it is being carried out. This is the experiment, not for killing. Although in the Vedas there are recommendation that paśu-vadha system... Just like in the modern age also, when some experiment is made, it is made on the life of the animal. But they are killed. But when there is recommendation of putting an animal in the fire, that is not for killing; that is to see that this animal has got a new body.
Lecture on BG 2.14 -- London, August 20, 1973
Pradyumna: Aśvamedha-yajñas or gomedha-yajñas, or the sacrifices in which a horse or a bull is sacrificed, were not, of course, for the purpose of killing the animals. Lord Caitanya said that such animalssacrificed on the altar of yajña were rejuvenated and a new life was given to them. It was just to prove the efficacy of the hymns of the Vedas. By recitation of the hymns of the Vedas in the proper way, certainly the performer gets relief from the reactions of sins. But in case of such sacrifices not properly done under expert management, certainly one has to become responsible for animal sacrifice."
Prabhupāda: This is a long subject matter. But the sacrifice in yajña, recommended, that is not for killing the animal, but it is a testing, how the Vedic mantras are being properly chanted. Because an oldanimal put into the fire, by Vedic mantras he would come out again with young life. That is sacrifice of animals in the yajña. Therefore in this age there is no such expert brāhmaṇa who can chant the mantras properly or he can behave because the life is very abominable. Therefore, because there is no expert brāhmaṇa, so these sacrifices are forbidden in this age. Kalau pañca vivarjayet aśvamedhaṁ gavālambhaṁ devareṇa sutotpattiṁ sannyāsam (CC Adi 17.164). These things are forbidden in this age, because there is no proper men to conduct.
Lecture on SB 1.8.52 -- Los Angeles, May 14, 1973
The purpose of the Vedas is to establish such principles under the order of the Supreme Lord, and the Lord directly orders, at the end of the Gītā, that the highest principle of religion is to surrender unto Him only, and nothing more. The Vedic principles push one towards complete surrender unto Him; and whenever such principles are disturbed by the demoniac, the Lord appears. From the Bhāgavatam we understand that Lord Buddha is the incarnation of Kṛṣṇa who appeared when materialism was rampant and materialists were using the pretext of the authority of the Vedas. Although there are certain restrictive rules and regulations regarding animal sacrifice for particular purposes in the Vedas, people of demonic tendency still took to animal sacrifice without reference to the Vedic principles. Lord Buddha appeared to stop this nonsense and to establish the Vedic principles of nonviolence.
BG 4.7, Purport
Lord Buddha, a powerful incarnation of the Personality of Godhead, appeared in the province of Gayā (Bihar) as the son of Añjanā, and he preached his own conception of nonviolence and deprecated even the animal sacrifices sanctioned in the Vedas. At the time when Lord Buddha appeared, the people in general were atheistic and preferred animal flesh to anything else. On the plea of Vedic sacrifice, every place was practically turned into a slaughterhouse, and animal-killing was indulged in unrestrictedly. Lord Buddha preached nonviolence, taking pity on the poor animals. He preached that he did not believe in the tenets of the Vedas and stressed the adverse psychological effects incurred by animal-killing. Less intelligent men of the age of Kali, who had no faith in God, followed his principle, and for the time being they were trained in moral discipline and nonviolence, the preliminary steps for proceeding further on the path of God realization. He deluded the atheists because such atheists who followed his principles did not believe in God, but they kept their absolute faith in Lord Buddha, who himself was the incarnation of God. Thus the faithless people were made to believe in God in the form of Lord Buddha. That was the mercy of Lord Buddha: he made the faithless faithful to him.
SB 1.3.24, Purport
The horse sacrifice yajña or cow sacrifice yajña performed by the Vedic regulations shouldn't be misunderstood as a process of killing animals. On the contrary, animals offered for the yajña were rejuvenated to a new span of life by the transcendental power of chanting the Vedic hymns, which, if properly chanted, are different from what is understood by the common layman. The Veda-mantras are all practical, and the proof is rejuvenation of the sacrificed animal.
SB 1.12.34, Purport
According to sacrificial rituals, animals are sometimes sacrificed in the yajña arena. Such animals are sacrificed not to kill them but to give them new life. Such action was an experiment to observe whether the Vedic mantras were being properly pronounced. Sometimes small animals are killed in a medical laboratory to investigate therapeutic effects. In a medical clinic, the animals are not revived, but in the yajña arena, when animals were sacrificed, they were again given life by the potency of Vedic mantras. The word śipi-viṣṭāya appears in this verse. Śipi means "the flames of the sacrifice." In the sacrificial fire if the oblations are offered into the flames, then Lord Viṣṇu is situated there in the form of the flames. Therefore Lord Viṣṇu is known as Śipiviṣṭa.

Thank you.

Hi everyone. I want to upgrade to tazarotene 0.1% for my acne and collagen production, apparently it works better and tretinoin 0.05% hasn't helped that much with my acne. The thing is, I've been reading the side effects of Tazarotene, (as I do with all medications) and would like to know if someone can explain to me how is it that tazarotene can cause deep groves in the skin? Are they permanent? Normal to happen in the beginning stages of using it? I've been reading a lot of people have made the switch to tazarotene and said it worked a hundred times better than tretinoin, but reading the side effects, I don't know if it's worth the risk? What do you all think?
Thanks in advance

Humans were always interested in evil, hell, devil, everything that's backwards from good, by the time of history of humanity people have adapted into their religions, and they believe how many miscellaneous religions exist, however in reality, there's just 2, first one is a belief in god or good and the second one is belief in devil or evil.
By those 2 beliefs, it's extremely easy not just to manipulate with singular person, but also with whole world. It's something like a domino effect, you begin with one, and then there shall be a chain reaction that will also cause influence to others. That is something that is strongest in us humans, but that is something that is incomprehensible for us.
I was always interested in that, why do lot's of people want to form contact with devil. Why does that attract, intrigue and interest them, why are there many cults and groups that are desperately in all possible ways attempting to form a contact with an evil side, the king of most evil, the devil.
That is where my story begins, it begun from my curiosity on why do people want to form a contact with devil so much. I was a student, moreso the best one in my entire class, others considered me to be a very smart person, a person with an intelligence that is above average, but I've possessed my bad sides as well, no one is perfect. My adventure begins with my one friend that trustfully informed me how he knows someone who is a participant in a local cult or sect, curious me was slyly and carefully asking about that person and cult and successfully I've received those informations, I contacted that person and told him how I would also like to become a participant in his cult. The first thing that was told to me obviously was how becoming something like that isn't such an easy and straightforward thing, because they solely pick those who are tremendously competent to be an adequate fit for their cult, I was determined to become part of it so I accepted.
It was 13th November a hour before midnight, when I've received a message to arrive on one place in which there was nothing, I knew that road that I was traveling with in my car at that night, around me were only fields and trees. I was told that after 3 turns I should turn left and go for another about 100 meters, and then next to the biggest tree I must park and get out, and after that I must make exactly 66 steps from the left of that tree, on that place I shall receive my first test. And that is what I've done, I got out of my car and observed around but there was nothing, just a sound of a basic night, when I made 66 steps, I stumbled upon one old book that was simply just laying on the ground, the grass on that place was obviously cut just so that book was noticeable. On the peace of paper that was glued on it said how should I go back to my apartment and read the entire book exactly 3 times and how I should do everything that says in it. The name of the book was "The Devils Bible" It appeared very archaic with its thick covers and yellowish heavily congregated pages, it looked like a real replica of a 500 year old bible but with all kinds of satanic symbols drawn on its covers.
I arrived at my apartment and read the book exactly 3 times, for such thing I required 3 days, but my determination was still strong, all kinds of stuff were written on it, about the creation of devil and the techniques he uses to spew evilness on this world, how to truly summon the devil, how to truly submit a victim to evil, how to sell soul, and many other miscellaneous infos about such diabolical stuff. I've remembered almost every word and read every page. However I was very skeptical about this book because the historical misinformations were ubiquitous in this book but, what I wanted I received it.
After exactly 6 days I received another textual message with an address, the address led me to an abandoned factory that was located in the edge of the city. 10 years ago that factory burned down and no one goes there anymore, apparently it's haunted and many suicides occurred there, that is why it carries a frightening history and goes by the name "Factory of Death". When I arrived in front of the factory I saw that light in one part is on, I came into a conclusion that someone was genuinely in there, before I went into it, the doors opened, and one man came out. To my surprise, that man had a very nice and elegant suit, he asked for a card that I had on the center of my book that I received, I gave it to him, and then he told me to follow him, and then I came into that room. The thing I saw there seriously left me frightened, about 20 people with black robes and hoods that covered their heads sat in a circle that on the center had a big bowl with fire, and on top was a giant cross that was turned backwards, on the walls a lot of satanic symbols were drawn.

I(19M-C Type) know for most people, medication causes an infamous "crash" as it wears off, and occasionally there are the people that don't experience a crash at all. However, I seem to get the exact opposite of a normal crash. When my medication wears off, I tend to get this excitement and euphoric feeling and a rush of energy, without experiencing any real depression or exhaustion. For context, Ive tried just about every medication and currently take Dexedrine, and most of them have had the same effect, though more noticeably within the amphetamine class which I respond better towards.
Do any of y'all experience anything similar to this? I have not talked to or heard anyone that experiences the same "crash." Though, I expect its my brain going back to my hyperactive and all over the place state.

hi, i am 42 and i feel all i have in my life is my job and my parents of whom i live with.
i have no children or family or my own, and this failing has been eating away at me. tried to do something about it but nothing availed (career? string of dead end jobs. women? never reply or can ever get close to on a personal level). after my grandmum died a few weeks ago i really do begin to feel the clock ticking and this anxiety and worry, i dont know if thats a midlife crisis.
all i know, this is not just an episode of being 'down in the dumps'. its been something i feel its been growing inside me for years - not in my head, but feeling it from my gut. i'm starting to feel it interrupting my job. my get up and go has got up has gone. i just dont feel like working even though the rational part of me forces myself to just do it. i dont know if i have depression but lately i am in this state where i just dont feel like doing anything and i am just unhappy.
i used to be a gamer in my 30s as a hobby, but i havent even touched my ps5 for over 6 months. i've sold all my games. i just lost the will to play.
i have been seeing a counsellor for 11 years in trying to 'get help' (as everyone keeps saying) but i feel its done hardly anything for me. she has aspired me to do travelling to get out my comfort zone and meet people, which i have done. but thats it. even travelling is becoming meaningless now because i am constantly in this state of preoccupation. i know after a big holiday i'll never see those people again even if they add me on facebook or not (and when they don't, it hurts).
people say talk to friends and family. i have no real friends. never have. when i was a little boy in school, i was bullied. in secondary school i got focused on my studies thinking that eventually, a degree would unlock a life of fabulous riches. but i eventually learned the hard way with years of unemployment that it wasnt, back then. i tried reaching out to people, online via a facebook group, but it descended to insults and hurtful remarks that left me banned and made me punched the wall. my family doesnt know about my feelings, becaise from what i have seen, mental health is seen as taboo. they'll just admonish me, shout me down, tell me to get a grip. i cant really talk to them because they're going to deny theres a problem. and i dont want to break their hearts, especially my parents. i rather soak the pain than bring them in it. i love them too much to see them feel hurt for me.
social groups - when going out, if its not work or a family function, i largely have social anxiety. i so badly want to meet women and get a girlfriend, who hopefully becomes my wife and eventual mother to my kids and form my new family, but i just seem incapable of it. i just cant get close to a woman at that personal and intimate level. if i try, it results in failure and embarassment. at the rare times i did try, it just doesnt come out right. i once went to salsa dancing class in a big city nearby, trying to talk to women, but the anxiety was so overwhelming, i couldnt breathe, and thought i was going to have a heart attack, i had to get out of there. i never been back since. i dont even go to pubs. i think about women more and more - even women i wasnt attracted to at first, drives me crazy now. i remember when leaving a job to move to another, a lady colleague i worked alot with hugged me, and it felt unlike anything i felt before. it was amazing. the softness, the warmth, the care...its as if i was missing that my whole life. i was close to crying. i want to experience true closeness, and intimacy.
thats not to say i'm a virgin. i lost my virginity at 30 to an escort; that was a unsatisfying experience as even then i had anxiety and couldnt perform properly - i did it because i didnt wanted to be the '30 year old virgin'. i just cant seem to get close with women. i tend to obsess about them. my instagram feed is full of attractive women. seeing beautiful ones on tv, even if its just the weather girl or news reader, it drives me nuts. in my job, i work with journalists, and theres many women there. i can talk to them confidently and easily, IF ITS ABOUT WORK. the instances i tried to talk about life in trying to get to know them and get close to them, the barrier goes up. i can tell because they wont add me on fb or whatever. i just cant seem to hack it with women. no woman = no wife = no mother to my children = no family of my own = no legacy.
i appreciate some might say not having family should not mean one is a failure. however, as much as i tried to ignore it, i come from a culture whereby family trumps everything else - money, career, hobbies, everything. i been ignoring it for years. trying to chase a career, which ended up as a string of dead end temporary jobs. losing 15 years of my life to this, living from temp job to temp job, and going to over 200 job interviews in getting secure employment, enduring hundreds of devastating rejections. but, years later, i now have at least job security, which is most important, but am beginning to feel the limit of my pay. trying to chase a career, spending nights throughout the 2010s playing video games and enjoying my gaming career in that, playing adventure games...but now i have reached a point where i've 'run out' of games to play and nothing (except maybe gta6) will interest me in picking up a controller again. i've grown out of it, it seems. i even been travelling more too - i travel far, and so big holidays. from usa, to africa, to europe, to india, and soon to be going to australia... doing all sorts of holidays from cruises, ranch holidays, safari, hiking, group road trips, wildlife conservation volunteering, sailing the mediterrarian - grand, amazing experiences that does suspend my worries... but in the end, i keep coming back to them, this feeling of emptiness.
my big fear is seeing my parents get older and dying from a broken heart caused by me. my dad worked in construction but is retired and now freelances, and he tends to hurt himself in accidents as he gets clumsy. my mother works in a school. i have always lived with my family except during the years i was at university. i feel my mum and dad are my 'best friends' - sad as it sounds -and the thought of them both going to die somepoint in the future, fills me with dread. because i feel i have failed them, in not continuing the family line. failing to secure a legacy for us. to keep us all going, surviving through the next generation. when i think about it deeply, our bloodline has been passed down for thousands of years, surviving through all sorts such as wars, plagues, and revolutions. i feel compelled to continue it, as if its a duty, and i dont want my parents to die with their last thoughts being disappointment. i can see it in my dads eyes already, the sadness. he wants to play with his grandchildren, but he has none, and all his friends shows off their grandkids. similarly with me, i see people i went to school with, and ex-colleagues i used to work with...they all have kids and a house of their own and a car. i have none of that. i stand NO chance buying a house of my own as i simply can't afford it, and renting will be throwing my money away living on other peoples crap. i said to my parents i want to inherit this home when they go, because my memories are here. my history. our family memories. my happy childhood memories, growing up, the birthdays, playing with my brother, my parents, the fun times growing up, coming back from school, doing homework, watching football together on the TV in the 90s, our first pc, all of it. all of these amazing experiences back then, i love to go through again, but this time with my own kids, seeing them grow up, playing with toys, drawing, having a first pet, etc...to navigate life with them as a father, and teaching them what i believe is required to be a good person.
before you say it, i'm not just doing it for my parents. i want a family for myself. i feel if i failed to have children, failed to find someone who loves me, failed to have any friends, failed to have had any influence or imprint on the world nomatter how small - i actually feel i'm not part of this world. to quote ellie from the last of us, my life would not have 'fkn mattered'. its as if i am a 'watcher', if that makes sense, not part of the fabric of this world and civilisation. watching it all from a window. that'll lead me to questions like why i am i here, leading to a probable, and painful, full-on existential crisis. when its my parents' time, when they grow old and die, and if i'm left all alone, i dont think i'd want to live anymore. i'm praying to find something. of course, i know i have to DO something, but my mind draws a blank. i cant ignore what my body is telling me anymore. but then, i step outside the house, and i dont know what to do, socially. when i approach someone, i get anxiety attacks. in my town, people are aggressive - its also possible if i approach a woman here i might end up getting assaulted, shouted at or shamed. sometimes theres no place to really go as i live in a small town. and as you get older, its harder to make friends, as people already have their established circles. i even remember my ex-manager talking to colleagues about this when we had a drink once and she asked 'how do you meet people' even though shes in her 50s and has established family and friends - indeed. how, for those who do not.
for coping, some people elsewhere suggested exercising. this is something i tend to do, but perhaps not enough of. i like to go on walks. theres a public park where i go and feed the ducks. seeing animals makes me happy. when the baby ducks swim to me wanting the kibble food it makes me feel wanted. i love animals. from dogs, cats and ducks - to even wild animals like the tigers i saw in india. i also did some hiking holidays, including going through some american national parks like yosemite, where i saw a family of bears at a distance. travelling is something i like to do too - in fact, i have more 'big' holidays coming up in usa again (alaska this summer), then australia, europe (croatia), the canadian rockies and maybe south america. i do these trips to get that out-of-body, 'blown away' feeling, of being thrilled, alive, and enjoying and experiencing life. it does help. but travelling is expensive. i'm not made of money.
all i want, is my own family..

I’m trying to come up with a kitbash idea for some assault intercessors. I want them to have more of a robe look. I was thinking black templar crusaders cause they have the weapons right already then put some hoods on them. But i realized the neophyte arms are exposed so I’d have to replace those anyway. And I’d have to replace some of the bases and shoulders (not a big deal). Then I was thinking maybe sternguard veterans but id have to get the right weapon arms (which I think counts to more bits). Which do you think is better / or more cost effective? Or are there any other units that could accomplish this better?

Anyone know how to stop a serial bankruptcy filer from delaying a foreclosure?
My Neighbor has not paid condo dues for nearly five years. He is currently in foreclosure with bank that holds his mortgage and they are trying to foreclose on him, but each time the foreclosure date (called the law day) nears he declares Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and is granted an automatic stay from his creditors. He’s declared bankruptcy four times already each time just before the foreclosure date. The bankruptcy is always dismissed shortly after he files because he never files the paperwork for the court or a plan to restructure his debt. Chapter 13 is meant to provide a softer landing for people that have fallen on difficult times, but it is clear from his behavior that he is filing Chapter 13 in bad faith and abusing the court system and bankruptcy laws to delay the foreclosure process. Our condo complex is small – we only have 10 units, so the other 9 unitholders are effectively funding the common charges for this person. Since there is no equity in the unit, the condo complex will only recover about 9 months of condo dues – according to State law. I am on the Association – and we have spoken with several bankruptcy lawyers – but we have not gotten a satisfactory on how long this person can deploy this delay strategy and what would cause it to stop. He’s done this four times and the mortgage holder who is leading the foreclosure process has not changed their strategy. Once the bankruptcy is dismissed the mortgage holder goes back to the foreclosure court and ask for a reset of the foreclosure with a new foreclosure date. I think it is inevitable that the defendant will just file for Chapter 13 again each time the mortgage holder resets the foreclosure date once we reach the new foreclosure date – does anyone know how or when this cycle will come to an end?

I’m using over 100U of insulin a day at this point (normally use anywhere from 40-60) and I’m not sure what’s causing the sudden resistance.
The last few weeks have been pretty crazy…. 3 weeks ago I went into DKA (bad pump site combined with severe dehydration) and spent 4 days in the hospital. During this time, I didn’t have my birth control pills so I had a withdrawal bleeding. After I got out of the hospital, I came down with an upper respiratory infection and was on antibiotics for a week. My symptoms finally went away this past week and I feel fine.
These last couple of days though, my insulin resistance has been insane. I’m wondering if it could be hormonal since my birth control was interrupted early, or still an after-effect from the illness? Does being in DKA do anything to insulin resistance? Any insight/advice is greatly appreciated!

I made this comment for a steam thread, spent a few hours stress testing configs on windows. And just when I figured it was put together enough to post steam reloaded on my phone and I lost the post 🙄 I really need to stop putting so much effort in the comments. The thread was mostly full of rage bait anyway. So I figured I’d post it here, I’m sure someone out there could make use of it. At the very least it populates Google with performance related discussion. And hopefully helping someone. Feel free to criticize or offer a different experience with your hardware. In a perfect world this post and the comments will be the last stop anyone needs to start bustin machine heads 🫵😎
My System Configuration: - CPU: Intel i7 10700F - GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 - RAM: 32GB - Storage: Gen 3 NVMe drive
Performance Observations: - On Manjaro Linux with X11, I achieved a consistent 50-80 FPS at 1080p on very high settings with FSR. - With Wayland and HDR enabled, FPS ranged from 40-70 but experienced random crashes, also with FSR. - Switching to Windows 11, FPS improved to 70-90 on medium settings at 1440p, but fluctuated between 10-100 on high settings at 4K with no clear cause for the variance, with DLSS.
DLSS vs. FSR: - Both were tested; FSR performed slightly better on Linux, while no significant difference was observed on Windows. - DLSS did not significantly improve performance during a recent test.
Performance Tips: - Use Exclusive Full Screen: Essential for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), allows refresh rate modification, and generally enhances game performance. - Disable VSync: Unless your display lacks VRR, avoid VSync as it's inferior to VRR. - Prefer TAA/SMAA over DLAA: These settings can offer a 10 FPS boost, although DLAA provides superior visual quality. - Enable Nvidia Reflex: This feature significantly improves input during frame drops, effective even on Manjaro.
VRAM Considerations: - High and very high settings may cause VRAM bottlenecks. My system could reach 60 FPS at 4K on very high settings, but not consistently, suggesting possible memory dumping issues. Idk what you need, but it’s not 8GB…
These insights are based on my personal testing and tinkering. It may not be the most thorough testing. Namely I should’ve done more testing with Manjaro. But I spent so long trying to get HDR working I didn’t play with the settings too much. But I hope my experiences can assist others in optimizing their gameplay experience for Horizon Forbidden West. Enjoy the game!
