I’m a film nerd, and I have a library with thousands of titles (in a variety of formats) as well as an extensive list of streaming services:
Netflix
Max
The Criterion Channel
Hulu
Peacock
Prime Video
Disney+
Tubi (free)
Freevee (free)
Looking at my viewing stats on Letterboxd, I realized there were many female directors whose work I hadn’t seen. The list:
‎Women Directors: The Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films, a list of films by Jack Moulton • Letterboxd
I set about watching the top 20 films. I was shocked to find that almost half of them (9 films) are not even available for streaming.
City of God (2002)
Aftersun (2022)
Qua Vadis, Aida? (2020)
The Turin Horse (2011)
Past Lives (2023)
Persepolis (2007)
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
A Silent Voice (2016)
Capernaum (2018)
Interestingly, if you remove The Criterion Channel, the number of films available for streaming from the Top 20 drops to 5 titles. This makes a powerful argument that if you want to control what you watch, you need a home library.

So I have previously posted about my No Paid DLC/No RNG Drops Engage Maddening LTC a few months back, and I’m back with a new spin on this run - an Engage Maddening LTC Ironman. This run operates under all the conditions a regular Ironman playthrough of any Fire Emblem game would whereas the game must be completed without any form of resetting. This means no use of the Draconic Time Crystal, no Retrying maps, and if Alear dies, it’s Game Over. Simultaneously, since this is a Low Turn Count (LTC) run, I will be aiming for the lowest turn count I can under these restrictions. My goal was to complete the game in 70 turns, which saves 3 turns from my previous run. The full ruleset is as follows:

• Ironman (No Draconic Time Crystal/No Retrying Maps/Game Over if Alear dies)
  
• Maddening/Classic/Fixed Growths
  
• No paid DLC; the Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH) Bonuses obtained through a free download from the eShop are allowed (3 Bond Rings and 3 weapons - Folkvangr, Fensalir, and Noatun)
  
• No random drops from the Well; the two guaranteed weapons (Revanche and Represailles) are allowed
  
• No ore from dogs; only the guaranteed ingots from the end of the maps are allowed
  
• No cooking; tonics will be used instead
  
• No Bond Rings except for the FEH ones
  
• All items obtained from Update Bonuses are allowed
  
• Highest available difficulty of Strength Training (specifically Push-ups) will be done every chapter for the guaranteed Bond Fragments and stat boost on Alear
  
• Highest available difficulty of Wyvern Ride will be done every chapter for the guaranteed Bond Fragments, but the RNG reward items (HP tonic, Vulnerary, Antitoxin, Pure Water, and Elixir) from the activity will be discarded
  
• Sommie will be fed and petted every chapter
  
• No Fishing
  
• No Skirmishes
  
• No Spirits of the Fallen (obtained through an active Online Network Connection)
  
• No Emblem Paralogues; the run will be Full Recruitment so Anna and Jean’s Paralogues will be completed
  

The run has finally been completed on its fourth attempt after some additional changes were made to make early game more reliable after failing three times before reaching Chapter 7. I have placed the full run in this playlist for easy viewing. The run was streamed since I think the unedited nature of streams fit Ironmans better, but do note that a substantial amount of time was spent in the Somniel for preparations, including playing the Bond Fragment minigames that have guaranteed rewards. For those who prefer to just see the map clears, I intend to publish individual, commentated videos in a traditional LTC format like my previous run in the future so please look out for those!
But for now, if you're interested in seeing some of the changes, I would like to highlight some of the more notable chapters in this playthrough (either because I implement a new strategy or because of a turn save):

Chapter 4, 5, 6, 7 are chapters I'm grouping together because there's a common thread linking them together. For those who are familiar with my previous run, I had two chapters (Ch. 6 and 7) where I relied on a crit to get the boss kills. In order to have enough reliability to attempt the same turn counts in an Ironman setting, my strategy was to get Louis 2 levels before Teronda attacks him in Ch. 6. The EXP management is very tight and my Ch. 4 and 5 clears were changed a lot in order to accommodate for that. And finally, for Ch. 7, that level 8 Louis is once again helpful in taking down Hortensia.
Jean Paralogue is now completed in 1 turn. Admittedly, this turn save is risky in an Ironman context because Amber and Diamant face a chance of death. Amber really needs to either dodge the Poleaxe (due to its large amount of effective damage) or dodge the first two enemies to survive enemy phase. And Diamant faces a 2% crit chance that surely results in his death. Nonetheless, it's a rout map with some interesting AI behavior and the power of a Mt Augmented Seraphim is put on display here.
Chapter 13 is still a somewhat risky chapter in this Ironman because getting the kills on Tetchie and Totchie is quite demanding in 5 turns. In order to increase reliability, I donated to Elusia level 3 before this chapter (whilst also donating to Solm level 2) to get an early Bolganone without the need to forge because I do not have enough ore for that. After getting the Spirit Dust and class changing to Sage, Pandreo is able to cleanly one-round Totchie with that Bolganone. Despite that, I believe Pandreo could potentially face a chance of death if Amber gets hit by Tetchie as Tetchie seems to attack Pandreo in that situation. And Merrin's crit rate on Tetchie is a bit suspect since I've seen Tetchie attack her if his Cornered Beast skill activates due to being under 50% HP. There's other small parts of this chapter like how Pandreo absolutely cannot crit a 3% on turn 1 that need to go in my favor, but overall, it's not too bad in terms of reliability after the countless changes that were implemented.
Chapter 16 is now completed in 2 turns. In order to get a 2 turn with my restrictions, a lot of staves were used to facilitate movement. Sniper Citrinne shows her power here and despite a lower turn count compared to my previous run, it's much more reliable as it has a 100% chance of success.
Chapter 22 is now completed in 4 turns. In order to get a 4 turn on this map, the heroes on the left side need to have a prompt answer. For other runs, that answer may be deploying a Panette with Wrath/Vantage or Lindon with Elsurge to get one-shot crits. In my case, I used Goldmary as an Axe General to choke the point with a Lyn Engraved Silver Greataxe+2. She just perfectly reaches the two-round benchmark against those heroes and survives three hits against them. And with some Luck and Hit inheritance, she's able to reach 100% hit as well. More optimization went into Kagetsu's combats and everyone's movement so that the map can be completed in one less turn. I do want to make a note of the jumpscare I got due to not inheriting Staff Mastery 2 on Hortensia. Luckily, if I forgot to inherit any skill, it was that one since Kagetsu was awesome and dodged lot in the clear so the extra healing from Staff Mastery 2 wasn't needed, but normally, that Staff Mastery 2 should be on Hortensia in case Kagetsu sustains more damage throughout the map.
Chapter 26 is a bit notable because I had requests to have Jean, Bunet, and Diamant deployed in this chapter. So I showcase how low some of the Dark Emblem benchmarks are for the users of the matching Emblem. A level 2 Jean that reclassed to axe fighter was able to kill Veld, base Bunet was able to kill Loptous, and a Diamant that got 1 level in Griffin Knight would've obliterated Medeus with a Georgios Lodestar Rush if I allowed him. Alas, I did need to make it so that Diamant did not kill Medeus for the rest of the chapter's clear because I was going to use Engage+ this time around.

Thanks for reading!

first off I'm suuuper new to Linux. only jumped to Linux mint yesterday so please feel free to talk to me like a 3yo when explaining things or i just wont get it, assume i know nothing of how anything works.
So I was on steam and wanted to look at one of my friends profiles to see how many hours he had in a particular game, only to find an Error Code: -105, unable to connect to server. I then went to Firefox and tried accessing his profile there only to be met by another connection issue. everything else internet related works. I'm in a discord call as a write this, I can watch you-tube, I can download files and I can obviously use Reddit. Its only steam and its only the Community related pages. I cannot access the community page, i cannot access my own profile or anyone else's. No workshop, no discussions no market etc.
I can still access my games and even play them online, i can access the store and points shop as well as steams stats page. This would appear as simply a bug related to the Linux version of steam but considering i cant access it in any way not even a browser and my windows friends have no issues i have no idea what the problem is. Its not my firewall i already tried turning it off completely just to scrub any chance of it being the cause.
Anyone know what the hell is going on?

Go ahead and spam your downvotes, but if you're someone that actually likes to engage in conversation, I urge you to read on.

Intro -- Personal

For starters, The Finals is my favorite FPS game to come out in the last 5 years. I've played since the second CBT and have loved just about every second of it. Prior to my time with The Finals, I was an Apex Legends nerd since release. The pro match hacking incident in Apex Legends is what pushed me over the edge; an edge that I was already barely hanging onto after 3+ years of awful decision-making, balancing, bugs, and tone-deaf MTX offerings. And going even further back 13-ish years (my time with League of Legends), I played Combat Arms for about 4 years and ran a very successful Guild.
Keep Combat Arms in mind for a little later.

The Final(s) Nail In The Coffin

HYENAS
At the time of the first The Finals trailer, HYENAS had been running in closed testing for about 8 months and was luke warm, to say the least. I actually find it very eerie how similar the HYENAS and The Finals were in terms of theming: heisters/contestants fighting for cash in arenas and needing to 'Cash Out'. HYENAS was a game I had on my radar for a bit and was semi-excited to tell my friends about because Apex Legends was in a really rough position and was growing stale in it's growth - we were looking for something else. It had some interesting movement mechanics, which myself and my friends were enamored by in Apex Legends, but nothing too crazy. I was hopeful. After about 2 testing runs, I phased out of HYENAS pretty hard and lost interest as it wasn't really what we were hoping it would be.
Breaking Convention
Fast forward to that 8-month mark, and the trailer for The Finals launches. It's this over-the-top explosive FPS with some crazy arena gimmicks, and holy shit it was pretty. The destruction was incredible, and the developers were touting server-side destruction so that it would be consistent for all players. The gameplay and graphics looked so familiar, and as it turned out, it was made by a bunch of ex-DICE devs. Count me in. Oh, and these were the same cats that released that short but impressive looking trailer for their other game Arc Raiders? Exceptionally promising pedigree, and an already promising duo of upcoming projects to boot. Couldn't be more excited. However... to this day, I don't know if I was getting struck by the Mandella Effect, but I swear I didn't see Nexon's publisher tag in the first few trailers. In any case, by the end of my first beta test, I was well aware and to say I was concerned would be an understatement.
The Good
Embark have done a phenomenal job at creating something unique in a market of Battle Royales and old titans slapping each other with wet noodles on bi-annual cycles. The Finals is insanely unique. Whereas a lot of games that try to break conventions like this tend to have iterations across many years and multiple development studios up to an eventual peak, the formula of The Finals feels like the final iteration of a genre that has never existed. Performance is top notch, the game does what it needs to do graphically and still has additional bells and whistles, and it had a near flawless release (all things considered). Were you to ask me, I could not imagine another game like The Finals existing in it's current exceptionally polished state. The next game like The Finals, whenever it comes out, will likely be exceptionally different. However...
The Bad
Lightning eventually breaks out of the bottle and disappears forever. The Finals, in all of its game design competency, has major issues for lasting in a market like today's and thankfully, for once, it's not actually due to it's MTX implementation and a greedy publisher (I say that cautiously, more on that later). No - the issue that The Finals has and why it's on a trajectory for shuttering is that it has almost zero skill expression. Let me explain.
Were The Finals released 12-ish years ago, it'd be a behemoth of an IP by now and likely would have changed the trajectory of the market in terms of player and audience capture. What do I mean by that? Well, lets look at games 10+ years ago - specifically FPS'. What was the primary appeal and objective? The appeal was an easy to pick-up game which allowed you to get into the action almost immediately. The objective? Click heads faster than your opposition. Game design around that time was rather linear in how it delivered the objective mechanism to the player. Give player gun, player click button; happy player. Competitive games have all existed, but competition now is vastly different.
Today, skill expression is the name of the game. It's not enough to click heads the fastest - that's not how you get your high anymore.
For DayZ, it was a masterful bait and deception. For PUBG, it was about maneuvering long before your opponent did and mastering weapon control. For Fortnite, it was about 'cranking 90s' and building the most optimal structure AROUND your opponent. For Overwatch, it was about chaining a series of abilities together into a combo that 6 players couldn't predict. For Apex Legends, it's about mastering movement in such a way that your opponent gets whiplash. Hell, even in Counterstrike - a game about holding angles - it's about mastering grenade throws.
The Finals... does none of that. You're not baiting anyone around fixed objectives. You're not out maneuvering when spawns are fixed. While structures exist around you, they serve more as an element of chaos than necessarily for control. There's no abilities to string together in some wombo-combo. Grenades are static and don't have a lot of physical attributes to facilitate against the environment like physics. And lastly, and this one hurts me the most because I was absolutely a sweaty try-hard in Apex Legends that spent hours in the shooting range practicing; while there is speed and movement in the game, you're not breaking the game's engineering to manipulate your movement in unintended ways - ways that become SO common... that the developer themselves puts those exploits in future season trailers for the game making them canon mechanics.
In other words, the skill ceiling is about as high as the desk players sit at to play the game. If you can move a mouse or a controller and click buttons, you're in. You just need to get familiar with the maps and weapons and... that's about it. :/
The Ugly
Don't believe me? Lets get numerical. Go look at Twitch stats for The Finals. Now, Twitch isn't an arbiter of truth in terms of a game's performance metrics, but it shows what players are watching. I'll save you the click: The Finals (at the time of writing) is the 215th most watched game. It's a whole 20 rows down on the front page. Now, players love watching high-skill play, but this also shows that even casual viewers still prefer casual games over The Finals. There is no external appeal. As much as I love this game, I'm not above a good joke, so I just wanted to highlight the irony of The Finals being a gameshow... and not being very popular as a show. Lol.
With all of the above said, the game is still in a relatively good position at this moment. Despite having very low player counts (no, I'm not the kind of person to spell doom for a game just because it's player count is dropping - it's on a normal interest decline curve), it requiring a low amount of players to start a game at all is a good thing. Unlike a BR or even a normal TDM-like game, you need a minimum of 9 players to start a round. A 9-player minimum goes a long way in expanding the ability to find a game with only 15,000-ish players. It puts it right in the comfy zone of co-op games like DRG or Vermintide. However, competitive games requiring a stalwart player count to be viable unlike co-op, so that's a bit of a problem right now.
So with that being said, it can always improve right? Something can change to bring back players and bolster it's numbers again, right? Well... um...

Nexon -- The Gravedigger

Nexon & Me -- We Don't Talk About It
My relationship with Nexon is long and... tenuous, at best. To me, Nexon is that family member that only ever comes to larger family get-togethers likes weddings or baby showers. They tend to give out some of the highest ticket gift cards but once the party is over, everyone finds that the giftcards are empty or deactivated. Nexon, over the years since it's arrival in the West in 2005-ish, has been flakey at best, and absent at worst. I'm envious of those who don't have a relationship with Nexon like I do because Nexon has truly been that family figure in my life of gaming since Maplestory - I have been apart of just about every major release pre-2016. I'm 31 now - that's over half of my life. Spoilers: It's not all been good. I'm happy to say that I've been able to communicate with a small handful of you over the last 18 months who have shared my same concerns and have the same history with them that I do.
I played Maplestory religiously. I played Mabinogi diligently. I played Kart Riders confusingly. I played Sudden Attack curiously. I played Combat Arms consistently. I played Vindictus excitedly. All of the previous, and a few more, intermixed with other games not made by Nexon - aside from Runescape, Nexon has been with me just as long, if not longer (depending on how you look at it). I know how Nexon is. I know how Nexon works. I know how Nexon behaves. With that said, it doesn't bring me any joy to pop the virgin cherry for some of you who don't know much about them.
Nexon Doing Nexon Things
I'll only be mentioning relevant titles here to paint the picture that needs to be seen.

• Maplestory - Nexon's most popular MMO. A mere shadow of what it used to be and caught in controversy of trying to be fresh, but appeal to players of the past. Extremely underpopulated now, and generally only played by people who spend money. Maplestory is arguably the birth place of MTX whales in the West. Whaling and spending is so engrained in Maplestory now, it's considered part of it's active culture. Still active, but in perpetual suffering.
  
• Vindictus - One of the very first (if not the first - feel free to correct me) MMO's in the West to introduce brawl-style active combat. Extremely modest MMO at the time. Lackluster story, but very appealing gameplay loop. Practically dead today, and it has succumbed (not necessarily a bad thing) to the 'Korean Developer' trope in introducing a bunch of scantily clad ladies. While the combat loop is still rock-solid, it has aged and others have now done it better (See Blade & Soul, etc). Still alive today, but I'm using that term very loosely.
  

(From here, the only relevant conversation pertaining to this thread will be about FPS')

• Combat Arms - THE absolute F2P FPS behemoth in the West (while Sudden Attack was still in the East). It's both surprising and not surprising how many people don't know or have ever heard about this game. In a time where CSS was still the primary talk in the West, Combat Arms started bringing the Eastern F2P heat. With the largest arsenal of any FPS game to ever be released in the West, Combat Arms was a beacon for the F2P formula behind Maplestory. The beginning of the end occurred with the release of the specialist class which signaled Nexon's decline into P2W depravity. It was now another thorn in the side of players beyond the rampant cheating. Combat Arms declined very quickly beyond that point, and was eventually sold to another company - starts with a 'V'. I can't remember.
  
• Sudden Attack - I'd have to double-check, but I'm fairly confident that this is still the most-played FPS in the world between SK and China primarily due to it's accessibility. While still active today, Western servers were shuttered in 2014. Sudden Attack 2 ceased development less than 2 months after it's release.
  
• Dirty Bomb - After Sudden Attack 1's shuttering, Dirty Bomb came onto the scene. Most people don't know it, but Dirty Bomb was one of the first major contenders to break into the scene that Overwatch eventually solidified. However, Nexon and Splash Damage parted ways, and less than a year later, Dirty Bomb shuttered as well.
  
• LawBreakers - We all remember this well roasted chestnut, don't we?
  

With all of the above information about Nexon's history, its fair to surmise that Nexon has a turbulent cycle serving as a publisher for games. This does not bode well for Embark.
I'd like everyone to remember that the people we engage with on a daily basis in the Discord are passionate Embark folk. This critique of Nexon has no bearing on Embark, however it's important to remember that they'll likely be affected, and it's a shame. Even in the best case scenario that The Finals doesn't shut down, but just maintains a low player-count, it will not serve well under Embark. Unfortunately it will affect Embark's pedigree more than it would ever affect Nexon as Nexon has the same priveledge and power of the likes of EA.
I'll be honest, when I first found out Nexon is the primary publishing house behind Embark, Nexon's history of shuttering games wasn't the first thing I thought of. The first thing I actually thought of was it's history of MTX in it's game. We all joke about horse armor and FIFA packs, but Maplestory led the charge of overbearing MTX in the West. Given today's game market, I was admittedly expecting a lot worse in terms of monetization for The Finals. I'm happy to report that I'm pleasantly surprised with it's current state. I still wouldn't say it's TRUE 'micro' like Helldiver's, but it's way better than a lot of other offerings, especially for me personally coming from a game like Apex Legends.
However, Nexon's influence still can't be ignored. You see, with a history like Nexon's you probably expect what we've all witnessed in the market over the last decade, but Nexon doesn't operate that way. They have a penchant of being rather silent during most, if not all controversies. Hell, just in general - controversies aside. Unlike bodies that we're familiar with like EA, Take-Two, Ubisoft and the like, Nexon doesn't speak outside of their games often, if ever. If you were at a public execution, all of the companies we're familiar with would likely be the Officiant at the pulpit. But Nexon? They're the executioner - completely silent and performing a duty without remorse. This is always how they've acted.

Closing Thoughts

I know I said above that the MTX concerns for The Finals kind of faded away for me as it doesn't seem to be an issue we'll have to worry about, and while it's not the main point of this post, I still find it necessary for players to keep in the back of their head, especially since Embark have other games coming out. Were The Finals not to shutter due to low player count, this is my PSA to all players moving forward, whether it be about The Finals or beyond: Nexon cannot be trusted.
"Well, duh! You can't trust companies anyway, nor should you. It's a company. It's incentive is profit."
To that I say, "That's not my point".
In today's market, we're typically used to a controversy happening in the game on top of whatever PR blunders is going on with the organization, but that's not what would really happen here. The Finals doesn't have any issues beyond it's declining player count, but I want everyone to remain aware of Nexon's moves going forward. Just because we don't necessarily see the smoke here doesn't mean that there isn't a fire somewhere else.
So, for your own interest if you'd like to research on your own, here are some topics of concern:

1. Variety of game closures and sunsets under contentious situations with developers and publishing partners alike.
2. Account security breaches (I guess a more relevant tangent would be GameGuard. Nexon was the first to widely use GameGuard when Maplestory came to the West. I personally don't care, but I know some others would.)
3. Various cases of government scrutiny world-wide due to addictive Gachapon implementations.
4. Speaking of Gachapon (and P2W), their recent suit around manipulating odds for a P2W item outside of it's listed values: https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240312050604
5. And lastly, most recently, Nexon pulling back public support for Maplestory's would-be world-first level 300 player when he used the opportunity to address genuine concerns about the game's current state, including the above lawsuit.

I have the 4070 TiS installed on a Z790 PG Sonic MB.
When I installed the 4070 in the primary PCIe lane (gen 5 x16) the PC would crash on login to Windows every time. It would boot to the login screen and could sit there indefinitely with no problems but as soon as I login it black screen restarted.
After pulling my hair out from trying to figure out what was wrong I eventually moved the GPU to the secondary PCIe slot 4 x16.
When I did that the PC became stable. I settled for that miracle and have been using it like that for about 2 months give or take.
Now I'm trying to run unreal engine 5 and every time I open it I get a crash report stating "GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed. Check Log for GPU state information. A GPU mini dump was be saved in the Logs folder."
Yes it says "was be saved" which, while funny I'm getting tired of seeing. On the bright side while I don't know much about this personally I was able to find the log or in this case logs folder and found several files.
What they are talking about seems to be my system specs and what failed. It looks like VtuneApi.dll and it's 32 bit counterpart. It says they don't exist.
I'll be adding the log file to this post when I switch to PC.
This isn't the only thing the system has been failing to run and it's not the only problem I've noticed.
I also see what I would describe as artifacting in the display. For a few seconds when things open or are closed I'll see pixels not being rendered and in some cases they jump around so it'll look like speckles being randomly placed on the screen for a moment.
When I received my 4070 and tried to install it originally I believed it to be defective so I returned the first one.
I don't know the odds of getting two defective in a row but honestly I suspect the MB just as much as the GPU at this point.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Here are some interesting statistics on Zach Edey's from the last college season. I'll also post some combine stats in the comments, where we can see Edey's mobility to be comparable to starting NBA centers.
We'll look at how the NBA careers fared of:

• college big men (above 6' 6") who played Forward or Center with all-time best NCAA scoring seasons
• college big men (above 7' 0") with all-time best NCAA scoring seasons who were drafted in the first round and scored over 500 points in college
• college players with all-time best win shares who competed in the NCAA Final Four
• players who posted similar NCAA seasons in terms of scoring, rebounding, and blocks per 100 minutes to Zach Edey

Note: we look at all-time numbers due to the lack of comparable propsects in the last 20 years (Hibert and Thabeet being really the only two above 7' that are remotely similar.)

Note: we omit Hank Gathers from the list due his tragic death from a heart condition prior to the draft. (Otherwise he would be above Edey with 1015 points.)

2024 NBA Draft Combine

At the combine, Zach Edey posted an impressive lane agility time of 11.19 sec. Projected #1 pick Alex Sarr's time: 11.43 sec. Projected lottery pick Cody Williams had an 11.17 sec. time. Donovan Clingan was one of the slowest in the draft at 12.06, nearly a second slower than Edey.
Edey's 3.01 sec. shuttle run time was faster than Bronny James' 3.02 and Reed Sheppard's 3.03, and they're two of the most athletic guards in the draft. Alex Sarr's time? 3.23 sec. Clingan? 3.38 sec.
On the 3/4-court sprint (75 feet), Edey's time of 3.42 seconds compares well with times posted by current NBA starting centers such as Steven Adams (3.40 sec.) and Rudy Gobert (3.57 sec.).
Source: NBA.com. Note: prior years' draft combine results for lane agility and shuttle run drills are not directly comparable between draft classes.

Free throw attempts all-time:

Edey has:

• the #7 highest free-throw makes in a single NCAA season since 1947-48 with 310 (just below Oscar Robertson's 316)
• the #2 highest free-throw attempts in a single NCAA season since 1947-48 with 436 (tied with Pete Maravich)

The top 40 NBA players with the highest free throw attempts in an NBA season are all HoFers or future HoFers (unless Dwight Howard or Ron Artest doesn't get in).
Analysis of Edey's ability to live at the foul line here.

Defense Analysis

We already know the concern about Edey's perimter defense, and you can see that he posted the lowest defensive win shares among players with at least 9.9 win shares. The primary concern as to whether Edey can be a starter in the NBA been centered around Edey's ability to handle switching onto smaller players on the perimeter. Edey stayed an extra year at Purdue to work on his weight, lateral agility, and footwork in an effort to address this concern, which was raised following Edey testing the draft waters in the summer of 2023.
Here is a recent video showing examples of the progress Edey made this season on switches. He will never be Kawhi Leonard at the perimeter, but the consensus among many anaylists has shown a level of improvement in a short amount of time that alleviates enough of this concern that he is projected by many now as a late lottery pick or just outside the lottery. (The lastest ESPN mock draft has Edey going #15 to the Heat.)
Of course, aside from this one concern, Edey is considered a strong defender and rim protector. While it's unlikely he will surpass Victor Wembanyama in DPOY votes anytime soon, his college stats are skewed a bit due to generally trying to avoid fouls during the first half of games, opting out of moving contests and reaches. In the league, Edey will be more free to go after any and all attempts near the rim.

Offense Analysis

Edey's ability to score and get to the line has been rather unprecendented in recent history:

• Edey posted the highest offensive win shares of players who played at least 30 games in college, above the likes of Tim Duncan, Steph Curry, and Zion Williamson.
• Edey is third all-time in the NCAA for trips to the FT line in a season (and #8 in makes) since 1947-8.

Being able to get the other team into foul trouble while being a reliable free-throw shooter is a unique art that has defensive benefits and timeless value at the NBA level. Removing one of the other team's best players from the floor while also scoring points is not exactly a stat whose impact is easily tracked, but we all know how big a factor it can be in the NBA Finals (as any Portland fan who watched Sabonis foul out in the 2000 conference finals can attest!).
If you look at a list of the NBA's all-time leaders in free throw attempts per season, it is a who's who of the Hall of Fame. Wilt Chamberlain dominates the top 10 slots followed by Jerry West, Shaq, Jordan, Barkely, Malone, Robinson, Dwight, etc. Almost everyone non-HoF player on that list is either an active player destined to be in the HoF one day (Durant, Giannis, LeBron, Harden, Embiid, Westbrook) or they're Ron Artest. Yet while in the NCAA, most of those guys never came close to Edey's free throw attempt numbers.
While we keep hearing how it's harder now for NBA centers to get to the line, it seems like it's not any harder than it used to be. Now it's just easier for perimeter shooters to get to the line than in Jordan's era.
Still though, we have seen plenty of success from scoring bigs in getting to the FT line over the last 10 years: Joel Embid, DeMarcus Cousins, and Dwight Howard each have posted dominant seasons in this regard (perhaps in Dwight's case due partly to hack-a-Dwight, but I digress). Again, none of those guys posted FTA figures anywhere close to Edey during their NCAA years.
Another concern about Edey has been his perimeter and mid-range shooting. Edey has emphasized to the media that while it was not part of Purdue's offense, it has been something he works on diligently, and is ready to show off to NBA teams. At the combine, he did impress scouts with his shooting, but it remains to be seen how effective he could be in actual game situations. If his free-throw shooting is any indication, he has solid mechanics, and the former baseball pitcher could develop into a Brook Lopez trajectory if he is able to become efficient enough. When Jokic came into the league, he only shot 30.7% from 3 initially, but we have seen how his progression went.

Comparison to Clingan

In the 2024 National Championship game between Purdue and UConn, UConn's Donovan Clingan (Edey's primary rival in the draft), a 7' 2" center who averages 7.4 boards, was held to 5 rebounds by Edey in that game, while Edey went off for 37 pts., 10 rebs., and 2 blocks. (Purdue lost by 15, but I think it was mainly due to the rest of UConn's players dominating the glass, due to not being blocked out.)
UConn's own head coach said of Edey that if he is not a lottery pick with a tremendous NBA career, then "there's somethin' wrong with the NBA," while comparing Zach to Patrick Ewing and David Robinson. Source.
Clingan also missed time his senior year due to tendon injuries in his foot. Meanwhile Edey played the most minutes of anyone in the NCAA tournament at what appeared to be 100% health. In my personal opinion (and this is not at all scientific), Edey displays a symmetrical, well-proportioned look that reminds me more of Tim Duncan than of most 7' 4" guys like Boban or similar, which is a good indication for longevity. Asymetrical people like Greg Oden have experienced very short careers.
One argument I've heard in favor of Clingan has been that he "processes the game faster" than Edey. I have seen no evidence for this is, but Edey being relatively new to basketball (came over from hockey and baseball) could mean that his reaction times and perception of the game might be a handicap at the next level compared to someone who has been playing since a younger age.

Misperceptions

When we look at players with similar college seasons and accolades to Zach Edey, it is common for some reason for folks to lump Zach in with the likes of Luka Garza and Tyler Hansbrough: dominant centers in college who simply lacked the size, athleticism, and outside shooting to have much of a role in the NBA.
Of course, that is kind of a ridiculous comparison, since we don't know what Luka Garza's NBA career would look like, if he had been able to do similar things in college but was 7' 4" with a 7' 11" wingspan. Further, Garza did not put up numbers remotely similar to what Edey posted in the NCAA.
Similarly, when we look at players with similar size to Edey (and there are very few), most of them are just too slow and uncoordinated to ever get more than a few minutes per game, even if they can shoot (Bol Bol, Boban, etc.). So there's a misperception that Edey must be slow simply due to his size being similar to those types of players. Yet if Edey was really that slow, why were his combine times so good?
I suspect a lot of the opinions on Edey are misinformed due to being based on footage from his freshman or sophomore years and not indicative of who he has developed into, but feel free to leave comments with links to videos that you think provide evidence for Edey still being too slow for the league.

Bottom Line for the Blazers Draft Picks regarding Edey

The Blazers will forever have Sam Bowie/Greg Oden syndrome. Yet if we're objective about it, it should be clear that wasting a #2 pick on fit rather than "best player available" is always a bad call. Further, had Greg Oden remained healthy, few people doubt he could have led Portland on some deep runs.
Now, my argument has always been that Kevin Durant's display of overall basketball skill and shooting ability should have made him the #1 pick in that draft, or almost any draft. No offense to Oden. And further, when the Blazers checked Oden's medical history and discovered he'd had an early surgery to shorten one of his legs, this ought to have been enough of a red flag to make them not burn a #1 pick on him.
In this draft however, we're not talking about whether Zach Edey should go #1 overall. It's more of a question of whether he will be the best player available at the Blazers' draft positions of #7 and #14, or even just, the best center available.
ESPN sees Edey going #15 to Miami, so it's hard not to see that if the Blazers passed on Clingan but still wanted a center, then taking Edey at #14 would be a no-brainer.
So the real question is, could Edey go higher than #14? The top two projections I've heard for Edey in the lottery are OKC at #12 and San Antonio at #8. These teams could feel that Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama might need a backup where you don't sacrifice any length or paint offense, so they can run a more consistent system.
I don't know whether that's realistic to happen, but if it starts to look that way, then is there a universe where it makes sense for the Blazers to take Edey at #7? Most people say "no."
But when you consider the all-time history of 7' 1" or taller players who could score like Zach in college, then the question is really, "Would Wilt, Kareem, or even Yao be a top-7 pick in the draft this year?" What did those guys show in their pre-NBA careers that Edey hasn't shown, which would have justified it?
I'm curious to hear your takes.

Whenever I get bumped or hit the ball to hard its like a 50% chance that my input delay becomes insanely bad and it is way worse in the air. Air dribbling is a nightmare my flip resets leave my car stuck to the ball or the car starts spazzing out. Assuming it is server desync or in my logs but I have tried everything else you could think of (bought new everything, new wifi, controllers, wires, headset,, mouse. for christ sake a new mouse pad and I play controller. It has been a good 3 months now with no solution I don't want I have to quit the game because god it is so satisfying and playing with music makes my heart whole but I see no option. I am top 3% in cod SnD and love the game but can't stand hackers anymore and how op controller aim assist is (I am MnK) but have tried controller and input is perfectly fine on every other game. My also attempt is logs and event viewer cuz I cannot read these things at all. Could it be the games net code? It does it in freeplay as well with my wifi connection disable. Losing my minddd here.

35 RS3 Videos to Watch from the Month of May

 
Hello folks, I think some of the reddit folks remember my post from a few months ago which was a list of all the currently active RS3 YouTube Content Creators (which has already changed since some people have become active again), if you haven't here is the link. I had previously posted a similar spotlight post of some of the best RS3 videos for the Month of March and April an wanted to keep it to a monthly theme and have created this May centered post.
These are my opinions but I will provide the title of the video, the name of the creator, a summary of the video and the link of said video.
These videos will be listed based on the alphabetical order of the titles and is not a ranking guide since some of these videos are basically raw and unpolished. Please note a majority of these creators do not make RS3 Content as a profession and they post these videos as a passion project for the game we all enjoy and play, RuneScape 3. If you enjoy any of these videos, please like, comment and subscribe to whichever Creators you enjoyed.
 
 

59s Raksha

PupRs

If you haven't heard of Pup, you've been living under a rock for the last few years in RuneScape. Known as one of the best PvM'ers, a notorious Clue Chaser, recently Animation Expert and a multitude of other titles that he has probably had over the years he's played the game, has done something that has long been attempted but not achieved. He has reached sub one minute for the Raksha boss solo. The reason why this is so impressive is that most people consider this as the hardest boss to solo in RuneScape 3 to date and that sub one minute would take another few years with the additional power creep that naturally happens. I recommend watching the video to see all the perfect dodges, ability usages and timing of rotations to see this impressive feet be completed.

2:54 #1 Warp Trio (we finally beat the 306)

Dat James

Spoilers ahead, with the new information of what is planning to be released based off the End of Year Roadmap, we have big changes coming for Daemonheim. Now we know that the surface world is going to be graphically reworked, but the question is, will the Dungeons also be affected? Well, that's going to be an interesting question, that Dat James and his team will have to figure out again now that they just broke the Warp Floor Trios by beating it in sub 3 minutes for the first time ever.

Best AFK Training Methods for Every Skill in RuneScape 3

Silenced

I have included another AFK guide that focused more on the extremely lengthy grinds in this list but this guide by Silenced covers all the skills. If you’re a much more casual player, a lot of these methods that Silenced goes in detail about are highly achievable. He might've missed a few, so if you have any others that the comments haven't picked up you might want to post it in the comments of his video for a future updated video, he makes of this.

Dragonstone Jewellery Crafting is AFK & Huge Profit! One of the Must Buy Items from Bonus XP Live?

Meep272

Out of all the new RuneScape 3 Content Creators, the man who knows the best about all the hidden money makers is a man known as Meep272. He has a multitude of different series types that focus on making money, they range from money making as a new account (Road to Ult Alt), to RS Wiki Money Makers Monthly Review, to Marketwatch (where he follows the trends of items) and a few more. This particular video I have highlighted for the month is his bread-and-butter style video format where he goes into detail about one of the Crafting Skills most popular money-making method in RuneScape 3. If you’re a new or returning player, his videos are an excellent guide on how to make money with modern day skilling activities.

I_O_rs has been exploring Blender like a few other RuneScape 3 Content Creators. Check out this short showcasing his animation skills where the man is Fishing at a quaint location with the Tavia Fishing Rod. If you are looking for a better version of this video, I recommend checking out one of the top posts of this month on the subreddit or going to his TwitteX page.

Fashionscape: Fremennik Outfits - Runescape (Female Outfits)

Wings of Absurdity

With the new graphical rework of Raellka that looks breathtaking may I say, Wings of Absurdity has showcased a set of Fremennik Themed Outfits in her FashionScape Showcase. There's a lot of unique elements she utilizes that many people have forgotten but the highlights are her drinking scenes, pet interactions (I love the bear and the first big cat) and just the aesthetic style of clothing the Fremennik wear. Jagex, if your reading this please update the NPC models to wear clothes like these especially the Freminnik Warrior Outfits she created!

Great Gielinor Run Runescore Achievement done in Under 5 Minutes !

Trye RS

Trye RS, posts a variety of guides and money makers but this new one is a game changer especially if you're aiming for the Completionist Cape. In this video, he showcases a new speed running method that makes it possible to do exactly what he explains in the title. Normally a very stressful achievement but this new tech that he cooks up is an amazing shortcut that really makes the achievement a lot more reasonable. Make sure you do this quickly before the method gets patched!

How I FARM CORES at Arch Glacor: RS3 200ks Guide

CarguyRS

Arch Glacor is the most farmed Boss in RuneScape 3 for various reasons. Now most people are usually using the boss to get the insane Summoning Charm drops with the occasional rares but if you want actual Money while fighting the boss, Mr Carguy RS teaches the ways to Farm Cores at this boss. In this guide, he showcases recommended gear, numerical stats with optimum gear but the most important portion of the video is the exact positioning of where to place yourself in the various different enrage mechanics of the boss. Like normal the man knocked it out of the park with this great high end pvm guide.

I Got An Early Sneak Peak Of RuneScape’s Most IMPACTFUL Update

ChevalricRS

Many of the folks who have probably watched YouTube RuneScape content have probably seen a video or two of Chevalric's content. In the current era of the game, he has transitioned from his completionist content to providing feedback videos about the latest content being released. Contrasting to his normal videos is this video about the upcoming update for next week which he has been advocating for over the past year. I'm not going to leak what the video is about, but I think it is a very valuable topic and I am happy that Chevalric has had such a positive impact that has resulted in massive improvements for the RuneScape community.

I killed Dagannoth Kings for 10 Hours without Banking!!

JC RS

A veteran creator who focuses on mostly bossing content or unique challenges, JC RS showcases his grinding capabilities at the Dagannoth Kings in this video. Considered as one of the easier tier bosses, this trio requires understanding of prayer switching affectively. In this long 10-hour grind, where he showcases his boss drops every step, we find out the bosses aren't the tough part of the challenge it's something else completely.

Import RS3 Models into Blender

PupRs

One of the coolest videos of the month is by PupRS and it’s been a hidden secret for most of the normal content creators for a long time. However, if you've seen any OSRS content, you've seen this type of content for a long time which is Custom AvataLocation placement that they use in their Thumbnails. In this excellent tutorial video, he showcases the viewers on how to import your avatar into a 3d modeling program along with a location you have in mind. Using that information, he then showcases the initial process on how to play with some of the cool features to get some awesome looking imagery/poses.

Jagex Deleted England: Rellekka’s Graphical Update, Hitlist Patches, Persuading the 2024 Roadmap

RSBANDB

RuneScape has gone through many iterations but one of the oldest communities that has existed for almost 20 years is this community known as RuneScape Bits & Bytes. They go by RSBandB on YouTube and have a variety of different social media profiles. Currently their most well recognized piece of content is their Podcast/Video which reviews the weekly updates which they have been doing for almost 1,000 episodes at this point. I highly recommend watching or listening to this podcast where they go detail by detail over every single thing that happens in RuneScape with a variety of guests. This selected video is pre-roadmap reveal where the hosts review the massive Rellakka’s rework, Calendar updates and a multitude of other items that were surprise releases.

Let’s Talk About Necromancy’s Visual Design Part 2 – Ft. Bucket Cultist

A C P L

In the second video of his study of the Necromancy Visual Design, A C P L with Bucket List (an Art themed content creator), go through a variety of different ideas that they think Jagex can utilize for the next level of development for Necromancy but before doing this they restudy the visual aspects of Necromancy and what themes they currently represent with a recap of what they learned from the first episode. If you are a fan of new weapon / new conjours / new themes for necromancy, this is a fun video to watch where both of the creators are dissecting what currently exists in game and how it can look in the future.

Marthh’s Road to 5.8B XP Episode #9 – Necromancy completed, time for 200M’s!

Runescapers

A majority of the end game player base is chasing for the 5.8 billion experience number, but most people don't make video content about it. In this video we follow Runescapers aka Marthh who showcases his massive grinds for the last several months. This very slice of life like video is a nice casual watch with solid edits, numerical stats for progression and some other fun stuff. I recommend his series and this video in particular to be a great casual watch while you’re at work and occasionally pop back in to see some of the highlights.

On the Menu: Cooking my way through Geilinor (Part 1)

MenuGuide

An awesome video by Menuguide which is completely different from the normal RuneScape 3 content you find. She normally streams her RuneScape 3 shenanigans and accomplishments on Twitch but in this video, we see her cooking up quite a few of the iconic food items in game via the new RuneScape: The Official Cookbook. This is part 1 in her food exploration, but she showcases her humor and fun personality, and I couldn’t wait to watch the next one. Check out the full video and what items she's cooking up and don't miss a step otherwise you might have landed yourself with some Rotten Food.

POV: You Are A Goblin Lumbridge

IronAraxxor

Not known for his meme capabilities, we have all underestimated Mr Iron Araxxor. In this iconic 1 million + viewed TwitteX post (which is uncropped and better in my opinion) of his which he has also posted on his YouTube channel is a must watch of the animation skills the man has. The video speaks for itself so enjoy. Also they should add a best Meme video at the Golden Gnome Awards since I think our man has it probably wrapped up with this Short.

Putting Zamorak in his place – RS3 UIM (#28)

PvPlatform Intro

PvPlatform

Player verse Player in RuneScape 3 has slowly become a lost art but there's still a community that wants to rekindle its flame. In this introduction video of the PvP Community, PvPlatform showcases the different safe PvP minigames they host multiple times in a month. If you’re worried about it being a legit community, then you'll notice a few of the iconic Jagex Moderators lurking in their Discord. Even if you decide that PvP isn't your thing, check out this fun montage that their community has posted just recently to show the shenanigans they have every weekend.

Relearning Runescape – Ironman Series Episode 1

Braygs

Braygs is one of RuneScape 3’s newest active YouTube Content Creator and has started a new ironman to explore the all the new content RuneScape has released over the last several years since he had achieved most of the big feats on his main account a long time ago. The background music, his great narration and storytelling mixed with increasingly better- and better-quality episodes makes this a series I highly recommend to watch. I’ve only recommended episode 1 but man has he improved already massively by Episode 4 in all aspects of video making.

RS3 PvP THE WARNING Me Bigger

ME BIGGER

A few months old, this video should've been in my January List if I made one but ME BIGGER is someone you want to watch for PvP Content. His skills for PvP are awesome but honestly his edits and music selection carry the video even harder. In a story telling format where he describes the action in his description as if it’s a play, he informs the viewer of the major scenes. A unique watch and something way different than what most people will expect.

RUNESCAPE IS BACK [SKIT]

StormionRS3

An iconic era of the RuneScape content era was the skit era which might be back. There’re a few new folks doing it of late again, one person does it by including a skit before he heads to a boss while the more classical format is what Stormion is utilizing. In this fun skit video, which I honestly don't want to explain since it’s so short and would the ruin the fun utilizes the iconic phrase of the month 'RuneScape is Back'.

STARTING THE STREAK HCIM (#11)

Menoe

There are only a few Hardcore Ironman’s present day that elevate what the end game of bossing is and Menoe is one of them. This episode that I have shared is the beginning of the end for his account where his goal is to achieve the max streak for the Arch-Glacor. His first 10 episodes showed all the ridiculous grinds and upgrades that he had to unlock to make this even remotely possible and provides great edits showcasing the functionality of these unlocks. This video showcases the start of his long streaking fight against this powerful foe. Will he win or die? Watch the series to see if he succeeds or not, it’s definitely a thrill seeing him skirt death over and over.

The Mind Of A Speed Killer – 2.4s Hm Helwyr

I Dps

Have you ever thought about breaking PvM records? If so, this video is an in-depth study of all the things that a Speed runner thinks about before trying to achieve a feat. I honestly think this could be the best video of the month since I Dps explains every mechanic, every weapon choice, every ability, and strategy to the tiniest of details. I don't need to say much more besides saying go watch the video and appreciate it because it’s that good.

Kathaar

The most famous of all the Region Locked accounts in RuneScape 3 is a man that goes by the name of Kathaar. For the last several months he has been slumbering in the sands waiting to return to the surface lands. In this video, he has begun anew his 4-year journey to conquer the sands of the Desert. I don't need to describe it more since the video is a fun watch but if you really want to watch his earlier stuff, he’s made a compilation video of his Season 1 and Season 2 journey in the sands.

In this video by Init Yeah, he goes into detail showcasing some of the best cosmetic items you can get in game that you can add to your wardrobe. Along with showcasing them he explains the numerous different methods to receive them since a solid portion of them aren't quest unlocks and are in fact hidden Jmod events, PvM rewards and more.

Vorkath, the failure – Original Composition

There's a lot of talented people who play RuneScape but anyone who can make music is at the upper echelon of these talented folks. This Music composition created by Gawkie is a must listen.

Give the soundtrack a listen, you might want to have it on as background music while you play RuneScape yourself.

We Rolled __ Chunks… Extreme Chunk Locked Ironman #18 part II

Chunk Yony

If you thought Chunkman in OSRS is bad for grinds, I believe it’s worse in RuneScape 3. In this video Chunk Yony is rolling for the first time after a year of grinding. His goal? Avoiding the 120 Herb death chunk. Check out this video if you want to see his luck at rolling chunks where he and his friends are theory crafting all the painful unlocks that he might unlock.

Older Videos and Special Shoutout Videos

Not part of the monthly list of new videos but I still want to give shoutouts to some of the most iconic and best videos that I have seen over the years that people may have forgotten about in the context of a 20+ year old game. Some might be very new videos or they can be some classics. Enjoy.
 
 

Loot from 10,000 Tetra Compass/Ancient Chests – By TigerFang

TigerFang

So, one of my favorite videos of this year is from a Creator named TigerFang. If you're one of the top HiScores player, you might've heard of him, but I personally am a massive fan of his video format content. I would consider this video as one of the best videos released of this year as of yet. Yes, the title is quite crazy and impressive, but the more impressive component of this video is the raw data and statistical analysis he does for the Tetra Compass/Ancient Casket content. I recommend just watching the video since it’s just that good.

My memory on the game is very vague outside of it likely being tied to a show that was airing on Kabillion during this time period. My apologies for the lack of details!
Platform(s): PC, Not sure if it was able to be played in browser or if it was a downloadable. It was likely only playable for free from Kabillion regardless and not a standalone PC title you could go out and buy.
Genre: RPG or action rpg, third person maybe a top down style? I don't remember if it was 2d or 3d but if it was 3d in the way Pokemon Soul Silver is.
Estimated year of release: Likely between 2007-2011
Graphics/art style: Brightly colored, I remember maybe slimes you could kill? Set in an overworld with grass, was not dark at all.
Notable characters: A guy with brown hair maybe? Almost looked like he could have been a Digimon protagonist or something.
Notable gameplay mechanics: Maybe you were able to kill things and pick up their loot?
Other details: Kabillion was a channel and on-demand streaming service that played children's animated content. While the service still exists, the website with its games in the state it operated during the late 2000s and early 2010s does not. There is a post here in lostmedia describing an MMO of sorts that was also on the site around that same time period.
EDIT: SOLVED
I did some digging while I was making this write up and very shortly after posting found a mention of the show MixMaster on Kabillion's Newgrounds page. The game is called MixMaster Online and more info about it can be found here for anyone curious!

Hey!
I'm an experienced DM and I'm running a D&D 5E one-shot tomorrow (Sunday).
Synopsis

With a clang of a Cast Iron Frying Pan +1 the 3rd form of Auril shattered and the goddess banished until Midwinter and for the first time in almost 3 years the sun rose over Ice Wind Dale)
(I need to purple prose this into Google Docs for the Fam since it was 3 AM when we finished and I just wanted to go to sleep--but that's neither nor there)
The Family D&D RotFM Campaign ended last Sunday (5/25) and the Unnamed Group (they never came up with a name for themselves) defeated Auril with a resounding crash. We started in roughly July 2020--our meetings were somewhat sporadic due to a lot of things (schedules, pandemics, deaths in the family, kids in school, jobs, etc.) so I can't give a true estimate of how many sessions it took, but probably averaged out to roughly 50ish? Our sessions were usually long about 8 hours--but play time averaged between 4 & 6 hours depending on attention spans (my niece and nephew were about 14 and 15 when we started). We started at level 1 and I kinda fast tracked them to 10 by the end of the game.
A few notes:
\ This was the very first campaign I DM'd beginning to end*
\ We only played through Chapter Five (Ended in Grimskalle--the ending chapters didn't really fit in to what I was envisioning so I'll probably use them elsewhere in another campaign)*
\ I changed (and homebrewed) A LOT*
\ There was actually a lot more I wanted to touch on and do, but we ran out of time with my nephew graduating high school and going to boot camp a month and a day later and I didn't want to leave it hanging.*
\ I did run it loosely survival, but I didn't run it as survival horror for various reasons*
\ I run with milestones because I don't like math ^^;*
There was probably more than a few trips and falls along the way and I didn't learn to fall forward until about halfway through, but everyone seemed to enjoy it in the end.
We started the campaign at level 1 and used the Ice Road Trackers to start the campaign off, which put them at level 3 when they finally reached Bryn Shander to start the book part of the campaign (Orianna joined the campaign about a year or so in) and introduced them to Mother Tusk and her Awakened brood.
Party Make-Up:
Karadon//High Elf Psi Warrior Fighter (Harper Contact Secret)
Al//High Elf Assassination Rogue/Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer (the multiclass was for character flavor) (Wanted in Neverwinter, Waterdeep, & Luskan for various crimes and hated by crime syndicates--she also spent the majority of the game with Auril whispering in her ear to join her due to taking Auril's Dagger from Sephek--I upped the DC on the saving throw every time she used Lucky to change her roll or after 3 in game days--it started at 5 and ended at 15)
Kiri//Half-(Dark) Elf Monster Slayer Ranger (Reghed Heir Secret)
Sh'Meral//Tabaxi Circle of Wildfire Druid (Owlbear Whisperer)
Uthal//Goliath Path of the Zealot Warrior (Midwinter's Child--since he was already cold resistant, he became immune to natural cold and resistant to cold magic, but it came with a DC 20 CHA check to avoid being turned against his friends anytime they ran across followers of Auril--I did nerf him under their control so that he could only do normal damage and not use all of his abilities because that boy brought the pain train at full power and could've TPK'd the Party)
Orianna//Tiefling Gunslinger Fighter (Eventually wound up as a Midwinter's Child as well due to some very badly (or well) placed Nat 1s)
The characters rolled their stats (4d6, drop the lowest, reroll 1s) and some of them (+cough+Uthal+cough+) got ridiculous scores so it was fun to work around it and allowed me to figure out a lot of different ways to try and challenge the party.
The group was pretty new to D&D, except Sh'Meral who is a player in a campaign I'm in as a player and Orianna, who played 3.5 fairly extensively. My mom played AD&D with my dad and their neighbors at the base in the early 80s, but it was different enough and long enough ago she gets lumped in with the newbies. I had started and aborted a Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign with them, but that didn't actually get very far hence I say this is the first campaign I did start to finish and I still classify them as new.
Because it's been a long time and my note-taking wasn't good at the beginning (hence some of the stumbling), I don't remember every nuance of what we did, but I remember chunks of it.
I actually used both starting quests (The Chwinga who ended up being named Chime and rode Kiri's shoulder the entire game and Sephek) though I dragged the Sephek quest out a bit per an adventure I downloaded from DM's Guild from Bob the Builder and they got a taste of the Coldlight Walkers early with the red-coated sled driver who died from an ice knife to the heart that later attacked their camp as a red-coated Coldlight Walker.
Chapter One: Ten-Towns
They actually wound up hitting a large chunk of the quests in the first chapter, but they were strewn through the campaign and more than one had to be changed up to compensate for party levels.
* Bryn Shander (Foaming Mugs)
* Lonelywood (White Moose & Ravisin)
* Termaline (Beautiful Mine)
* Targos (Mountain Climb)
* Easthaven (Toil and Trouble)
* Good Mead (The Mead Must Flow)

• Karadon actually wound up getting elected as the town speaker in Good Mead though Olivessa is covering for him at the moment

* Dougan's Hole (Holed Up--modified to almost unrecognizability)
Chapter Two: Icewind Dale
We actually didn't do a lot in this chapter--I'd added a lot of extra stuff and as I said we ran out of time (I wanted to do Dark Duchess and Cave of the Berserkers, but it didn't happen)
* Black Cabin
* Cackling Chasm
* Jarlmoot
Chapter Three and Four: Sunblight and Destruction's Light
Due to various shenanigans (the party not picking up the Duergar crumbs and the sudden time crunch), we actually didn't really do these chapters at all except I did unleash the Chardalyn Dragon (as a reskinned Deep Dragon because they were like Level 7 or so at this point).
I did not, however, unleash the dragon as written because that would be enough to make me rage quit as a player and my players would've done the same if I did it that way--Dougan's Hole was a casualty but they caught it on the way to Good Mead, plus if I hadn't done it this way it would've been a waste of the model I bought two years or so ago and that would've been awful since we never made it to Sunblight.
I did loosely imply that Auril's Frost Druids running around Ice Wind Dale were in cahoots with the Duergar--they gave them chardalyn in exchange for gems needed for Awaken spells.
Chapter Five: Auril's Abode
Ran this sort of as written except I had a few things (characters) come back to haunt them on their way to Grimskalle
* Ravisin caught them on the way from the dock (they didn't kill her before she escaped in the barrow) with some of Auril's ice sculptures so the characters roused some divine wrath by hitting some of Auril's beloved sculptures
* A resurrected Vursin (Ravisin's sister--my spelling is probably crap on the names) and Sephek (Revenant Version) with some Coldlight Walker pals
* They ran across a mind-controlled Mother Tusk that they either had to kill or find a way to free (they found a way to free her)
* The party almost failed the Test of Cruelty (but managed not to)--I had a couple of them in tears. Only one of them managed to pass all 4 trials to open the door to the Vault (which served a different purpose detailed in my changes below)
Things I Changed (Added In)
* Part of Auril's spell was held down by 4 druid circles (one was near the barrow in Lonelywood, one to the east of Easthaven, one to the west a bit beyond Bremen, and the last was in the Stones of Thruun south of Dougan's Hole) as the party defeated the circles they got to add 2 hours of dim light to their days until after the fourth when Auril doubled down on her spell when they killed her beloved Archdruid Priestess Geluvicken
* They faced Maude in Toil and Trouble and Maude used underhanded tactics to escape, but then they faced Maude and her Coven in the Frost Giant Hunting Lodge (from Holed Up--as I said I altered it almost beyond recognition)
* I moved the Codicil of White to Jarlmoot and the party had the option of using that in the vault under Grimskalle to seal Auril off plane for 100 years--but at the cost of making a Con 21 saving throw and the one person that probably could've done that with no issue (Uthal) couldn't read (due to his player's role-playing all game) so they wound up choosing to not sacrifice one of their friends (an NPC College of Swords Bard I originally created as a random encounter that won their hearts and became a beloved friend I had to flesh out) and just make sure to kill Iskra and try and defeat Auril to at least hamper her plans.
The final battle with Auril wound up stretching into two sessions between when they left Jarlmoot and confronted Auril on the battlements of Grimskalle--each of those sessions were long (10-8 one day and 2 PM-almost 3 AM for the last--obviously breaks for food and player leg stretching).
I managed to not kill any players--but a few of them were knocked unconscious at multiple times but managed to make their death saves until their friends could help them out.
So if you made it through all of this--go ahead and as me anything!
I'll do my best to answer :)
