Supposedly inserting a hose to drain water it not necessary when in cool mode as it blows it out in the form of water vapour.
That said, perhaps there is a benefit of draining/trying to drain the water?
My unit makes a noise that I think may be the sound of a fan blade hitting accumulated water...not unbearable as a noise but I would prefer to get rid of the sound (if possible).
Thanks

Hello -
I am working in DaVinci Resolve 19 with h.265 10 bit 422 footage (clog3 from canon r7 and r8), and am having a gpu bottle neck.
I have been mostly color grading for the past year with very minimal editing effects, for which my my current system was working well.
Now that I am editing more and using fusion, I am seeking smoother playback. I also may start editing 6k braw soon.
My current system specs:
Threadripper 3960x 128gb ddr4 3200 ram, 4x32 quad channel Rtx 2080 super Evga 1300w psu Nvme m.2 drives: .5tb x1, 2tb x2 Noctua Fan cooling
Would it be better to upgrade to an rtx 4080 super, or an Intel 14900 with igpu and a z790 board?
My goal is to edit and deliver 4k 10 bit 422 h.265, and may eventually get into 6k braw. My render times and color grading are fine for my workflow currently, but playback and editing to music is not always smooth - and of course fusion can be slow.
My thoughts:
Would an i9 14900 with 2080 super really be better or as good as a threadripper with a 4080 super, all other things being equal?
Looks like the z790 series motherboard needed for the intel chip would allow ram upgrades to ddr5, which could be nice... but my cpu doesn't seem to be under much load for what I'm doing, and changing the gpu would be a little easier than swapping mother board and cpu if I can net a similar or better benefit for essentially the same cost.
Currently, my task manager shows up to 100% gpu usage with 4k projects and timelines. It also shows up to 8gb of shared ram, totalling up to just over 16 gb vram every once in a while with just a few titles on a color graded clip. Playback uses 30-80% gpu usage while my cpu is at 5-10%.
I know this version of h.265 10 bit 422 is difficult to decode and could benefit from intel's igpu acceleration, but I am curious how much that would help compared to getting a more current gpu and just removing the obvious bottleneck.
Side note- I have noticed that creating a new fusion composition by right clicking the clip from the timeline even after color grading seems to play atleast 2x smoother than just jumping to fusion and is almsot as smooth as regular footage playback, and the color is there! Also, the system plays back much smoother on the edit page vs the fusion page.
Optimized media seemed to bring my cpu load down from 10-15% to around 5%, and lowering my timeline to 1080 helped the gpu significantly, so those workarounds are ok for now but scaling the fusion effects seemed to be an issue when changing timelines.
Thanks for any input!!! Jeff

A lot of people do love them to fleece the Lord's sheep with the "Lord, Lord" passage, so I'm here to present a counterpoint before this Scripture twisting claims another apostasy and earns the atheist sub one more follower.
God is not an ungrateful sky prick who cares nothing about what you do for Him. Yes, He does have a warrant to not to care because indeed what the Supreme Being has to gain from little worms such us Humans? But here's the thing: God, much unlike how Humans would be if they had His power and position, is good and loving to an unimaginable degree. The Psalmists were not gushing empty praises when they said that God's Benevolence is endless.
But people keep seemingly forgetting that God is loving and merciful and keep projecting this image of Him being anything but loving and merciful. All because of one twisted passage.
Let's unpack Matthew 7:22. People interpret it as a message of serving God being useless Salvation-wise because no matter if you outright manifest miracles and preach the Gospel, the Lord will supposedly pretend He never knew you despite literally having directly talked to you through the Holy Spirit if you got to the point of being eager to serve Him, supposedly because of some kind of minor slip up or minor deviation of some theological detail that God has made of point of leaving up for interpretation and casuistic wisdom-based application. Is this the God you believe? This is the God you call good, loving and merciful? If yes, please seek therapy because you are in the early phases of CPTSD and you are being gaslit by spiritual abusers and/or abusive parents (if you aren't an abuser yourself). But I digress.
A God that forgets service for Him is not the God of the Bible, because the Bible literally states that God doesn't forget service for Him. It's right there in Hebrews 6:10, in no ambiguous terms. Let alone all the promises of God of rewards for fulfilling the Law, which is fulfilled automatically through Faith in the Lord as Lord and Saviour.
Also, a God that ignores pleas for mercy and deferential judgement is not the God of the Bible, because He Himself said that He will always give what is asked for. It's right there in Matthew 7:7-11, with literally not "but", no "excepting", no nothing that would violate the promise.
Additionally, there is a biblical precedent of someone do claiming "Lord, Lord, didn't I stuff for you?" and being... ACCEPTED, SAVED and BLESSED for it. It's in 2 Kings 20. God outright changed His mind from the prophecy He gave to Isayah, and because of a simple claim of works-based righteousness of someone who didn't even know the Lord existed so there was no way to believe Him as Lord and Saviour, """violating""" several Bible passages in both Old and New Testaments. Why that? Because God is good, loving and merciful to that extent. This is not the full explanation, though, but I will get to that.
Now you may ask, "But then why did Jesus say that He would reject the people claiming 'Lord, Lord'?". About that, let's clear a huge misunderstanding that was perpetrated by the Synagogue of Satan: the concept of falling away.
Although there is a real biblical explanation for this principle (and I will get to that), C.S Lewis has said it succintly: the door of Hell is locked from inside. It means that there is no such a thing as God looking down and denying mercy to a supplicating sincere repenting person. Not even in Hell. All cases of God being stern and firmly opposed to human desires for salvation and grace are strictly reserved for Apostates. And I mean real, red-blooded Apostates, not backsliders. A true Apostate is someone who outright denies the Gospel, fully consciously and fully deliberately, from a fully sincere position of deciding to hate and reject God. Apostasy is not an accident, nor something that can even implied from actions or lack thereof of people suffering from Scrupulosity. A real Apostate is glad and happy for being so, so no real Apostate will ever come here and say that they have fallen away, they will instead be commemorating it in any deconstruction-narrative abiding venue. Apostates hate God and unironically say He's wrong and evil.
Apostates are so because they have made the decision to engage themselves into a mental downwards spiral of distrusting God and denying the effectiveness of godliness despite having appearance of it (as explicitly said in 2 Timothy 3:5). There are two ways of doing it: Legalism and Cheap Grace. Legalism denies the absolute and unchecked sin-cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus by disbelieving on it to the point of wanting to be righteous by human efforts; and Cheap Grace denies the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by persisting in sin. Both leads down to the same path of distrusting God in one way or another. This distrust in God confirms itself through it's effects of elliciting God's distaste, which manifests in form of God not imparting Faith on Legalists and not convicting Cheap Gracers on their sins. Thus it becomes a downwards spiral that end is apostasy because the distrust starts to feel warranted as God is not acting for nor against something that was strictly no fault of His, and thus the distrust becomes rejection due to it feeling warranted. In actuality, they are just struggling in a cage made by themselves and never choosing to acknowledge that they are just being stupid. At absolutely no point in this internal debacle they ask for God's mercy, because they are sure that they are in the right. Hence the "Hell's door is locked from the inside".
Thus, all stern warnings and threats against Apostasy are really warranted. After all, who would like to put up with someone who actively chooses to hate you more and more even though you are literally doing nothing to earn such heat? Neither would God. He is merciful, but not stupid.
All that said, there is a way out of this downward spiral. Yes, even for Apostates there is hope, however small it may be. The way out is simply repentance, changing of mind. That's why God will be merciful even if you fit the bill of Apostasy perfectly, even if you are willfully sinning, even if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit, even if you in the past made a decision of rejecting Him, even if He says He never knew you, even if He says you're done for. Just as it was with Ezekiah, who got told He was condemned and got off the hook by repenting, you will break out from the Apostasy spiral by simply repenting, and all threats, warnings and sentencings against you will poof away. These are only for Apostates. Apostates never repent, so if you repent, you are not an Apostate, so the warnings are not for you.
So... Yeah. God is not ingrate. Your terrible fate is only set in stone if you want it to be.

I want to start off apologizing for the grammar mistakes and unorganized thoughts that will soon occur.
What do I do knowing my boyfriend is comparing me to other girls? For context, I (22F) and my boyfriend (21M) have been together for almost a year now (in a week). We met online and instantly connected. I was going to school in another state so we did long distance for most of our relationship until he moved in with me. Now we both live together in a studio with two cats (one we got together).
Our relationship has been good, the typical ups and downs but we usually get over it. We both struggle with being extremely insecure but he definitely externalizes it while I internalize it. Most of our issues stem from his retroactive jealousy and him feeling very insecure. I try my best to reassure him but a lot of times he doesn’t believe me. I struggle with comparing myself to others especially looks wise. I have seen the type of influencer and people that he’s attracted to (early into the relationship)and I am in no way shape or form close to looking like that which made me more insecure in our relationship. He does reassure me that I am the prettiest girl and whatnot but because of my insecurities I have trouble believing that. I have voiced this to him especially in regards to social media.
I really don’t want to air out his business but I think it is essential to the story. He claims himself to be a loser since he works a minimum wage job and feels that he doesn’t do much to support me. I recently just graduated with my BSN and my BA and have quite the future ahead of me and he has told me he is very jealous of that since he isn’t a school person. I was given lots of scholarships which I used to pay for a lot of our stuff because I know he struggles with money since he has to pay for his car and insurance and whatnot. I really don’t mind this but he really hates that I pay for a lot of our stuff. He voiced to me that he hates that he isn’t able to provide for me like I have for him. He said he resents me for being “perfect” as most of our problems have stemmed from him and not me. He struggles to believe that a girl like me could love him and questions my love for him which brings us to a few days ago.
Just a few days ago, he confessed that he looks at other girls on his suggested or people you may know on instagram and compares me to them. He said that he imagined what it would be like to be with them and how they would feel about him. He admitted to doing this for a month. I asked him if he found these people attractive and he said yes. It hurt me so bad. I asked him if he has done it with me in the room and he also said yes. It hurts me that he claims to love me so much and that I am the girl he wants to marry but then he does this. I don’t know why these girls being “normal” people affects me so much and could be people he potentially knows.
From his perspective, he doesn’t know why he did this. He still claims that he loves me so much and that he wants to marry me and only sees a future with me. Through his comparisons he realize that I love him for who he is, and that he thinks I am the only one who would/will. He said he did it because he is so insecure and thinks that I will just leave him so he imagines being with other people. He also just didn’t believe that I love him. I asked him why he just didn’t come to me for reassurance and he doesn’t have an answer. He is begging me to stay with him and says that he will do anything to earn my trust back. I just don’t understand why he did this and if he’s being honest with his reasoning.
I want to more than anything try and work this out but it hurts so much and I don’t know why. I am trying to find reasons to justify this or blame myself for doing something wrong or not being enough. I just don’t understand why and I can’t bring myself to believe that someone who loves me so much would do that. I think maybe this is normal but this is something I would never do. We are on the verge of a break up and i don't know how to feel. I don’t know if this is something I can get over easily. I feel more insecure than I have ever felt in my life. Every time I look at him or think of the situation I just cry. He has left the decision to me to whether we stay together or break up. I leave for my trip to Asia in a few days and will be gone for 3 weeks. I don’t know how to work this out if we’re long distance again with a time difference, how to trust him, how to feel good about myself, and not overthink. I don’t want to throw away this relationship because the thought of us not together also hurts. On the other hand, if we do break up this is the perfect time as he would have three weeks to pack and move without us having to interact much.
I really don’t know what to do. I really want to stay and work on it because I do think that he is being genuine in what he is saying but I don’t know how to get over this and trust him fully. What should I do?

I (21M) recently got out of a relationship/situationship with a dismissive avoidant girl. At first I felt really hurt about her behavior, the breadcrumbing, the emotional unavailability, everything else that's characteristic to the DA behavior. But lately I feel shame towards myself for not stepping out sooner when she was telling me things like "I don't think I can give you what you need", "I'm not feeling suited for a relationship". As paradoxical as it may sound, I feel guilty about having those negative feelings regarding her behavior, like it's my fault for not setting my boundaries and accepting all of that, and I have no right to feel that way. I am not putting any blame on her behalf, and I don't have any negative feelings for her, but I just wish she would take some accountability for her part, because despite being honest about not wanting a relationship, she would continue breadcrumb me and giving me hope that things will get better. I don't know what is real or not anymore, and I have a hard time dealing with the emotional turmoil.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me

The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos, and only the PCs can hope to save the city from its own darkest tendencies. As the rule of the young queen grows more and more draconian, it's up to a band of bold adventurers to stop the spread of tyranny before all of Korvosa is crushed beneath her iron fist.
In the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, the heroes delve into the depth of urban adventure in order to stop riots, combat a plague, root out organized crime, and rescue political prisoners before escaping to the harsh badlands of the Storval Plateau, where only the friendship of the barbaric Shoanti and a weapon drawn from the heart of a gothic castle can give them the strength to return and depose the evil queen once and for all.
Freshly starting one of the most well known PF1e campaigns, that has a very good combat/RP balance (the results are varied by the group). Themes of the campaign include but not limited to politics and tyranny, city life, death cults and epidemics.
New players are as welcome as more experienced ones.
Please note, this is a paid game (12$/Session via paypal), session zero is free. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.
From me you can expect official paizo materials for the campaign with additional maps (dynamically lit) and handouts gathered from the web and fully adapted, some voice acting, API scripts and macro, help with your characters and bookkeeping.
I've been playing and GMing PF1e from the very start (can't guarantee that I know all the rules and classes but familiar with a lot) and try to keeps things mostly RAW, with no 3rd party, variant rules may be used after discussion with players. Also, as most official APs, this one doesn't work well with evil characters, so yours is expected to be neutral or good.

I know there was a similar post, but I’m having trouble finding the exact nutrition information for 100g of this raw

I am three weeks post break-up from a man I have come to believe is a narcissist. Long story short, he left me after two years. He slipped back into full blown alcoholism (we both value recovery, or so I thought) and the verbal abuse increased. He has been unable to take accountability at all and has even continued to try to hurt me through the break-up (more verbal abuse and pics/videos of him being intimate with the girl he started seeing a week after we broke-up).
I've obviously been struggling. I'm doing everything in my power to be healthy and re-enegage in self care after neglecting my needs for a long time. One of my biggest coping mechanisms is research and I found this article when reading about ADHD and Narcissistic Abuse. I'll leave the link below, but here are some points that stood out to me. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

• People with ADHD are often vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation, and they may find themselves trapped in a cycle of abuse and codependency.
  
• In addition, people with ADHD may be less likely to recognise the warning signs of a toxic relationship, as their impulsiveness and distractibility can make it difficult for them to see the long-term consequences of their actions.
  
• In a narcissistic relationship, the narcissistic partner may use the memory difficulties of their ADHD partner to their advantage by gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser tries to make the other person question their own memory, perception, or sanity.

So I started working on a setting that may be a bit too inspired by WWII. To start with, people can speak animalistic languages to summon magical effects. These effects can be predicted based on the animal the language came from. For example, the maggot language (yes I know maggots don't speak) causes rot in the body to vanish as if it is being eaten. Or the viper language causes people to be poisoned as if bitten by a viper.
There is a price though. These magic users' bodies slowly contort to appear like the animal they are impersonating. This is usually fatal as the body isn't made to twist and reshape like that.
Some circles have been using this magic for over a millenia and the descendants of those circles, called the Vermin by some groups, are able to survive full transformation and use the full power of this magic.
However, due to years of propaganda smearing the Vermin, a crusade by the church of iron has started with the desire to exterminate them.
There is also a magic system for the church. Basically, magic metals grow in the presence of powerful thoughts and emotions. Usually it can take dozens of people to manifest these metals, but the church of iron trains their knights to go into emotional trances to summon iron. This iron can be manipulated by their mind, or its mere presence can enhance their body. But it deteriorates when it is used. For example, iron grows in association with violence and rage. The holy knights can go into a trance called the iron rage to summon magical iron onto their bodies. So long as they continue to make contact with the iron, they will be immuse to pain, immensly strong, and able to survive incredibly heinous blows. (other metals do other things.)
The Church of Iron, which has a large standing military of these holy knights, has begun a large scale war, running through what is essentially fantasy Europe. This has led to armed resistance both within the ranks of the church and without, in the form of civil war. (I didn't mention yet but the church of iron is a large theocratic empire of sorts.)
Other countries have also joined the fray as the church of iron has been pushing into their boarders as well to kill civilians suspected of being Vermin. While the church once had a lot of sway, and some countries were happy to sit idly by, public outcry and the deaths of thousands of non-Vermin, has led to push back and eventually all out war.

Here's my top 10 ideas to make outposts not just important but almost central to gameplay loops of starfield.

1. Storage. Outpost storage should be simpler, easier, and more efficient than ships. When outposts are linked, they should have their resources linked in as well. Streamlined Personal Inventory/Ship Inventory/Outpost Inventory all accessible when planetside. Make me build an outpost and a hauler bot to access my resources from anywhere on planet.
   
2. Manufacturing. There should be a gameplay loop that goes resource extraction, component manufacturing, ship parts (starstation) manufacturing. Skip the credits. If you have the components, you can manufacture the ship parts. You should be able to store ship parts at your outposts. It would be nice if they were actually visible and took up space like in the staryards. The dream would be being able to do some semi-depth customization to the parts themselves, visually and statwise. Also skip the credits and let me repair my ships for free given the resources.
   
3. Settlements. Join LIST, preferably with a questline to eventually lead LIST. There are named NPCs in every city, literally begging you to get them out from the well, the underbelly, the stretch, europa, etc. I want to get them to the stars, and currently, you can't do anything for them. Go out and poach all those disgruntled traders and miners from their terrible bosses, the dialouge is halfway their. Maintain resources, habs, and defense. Make the environmental conditions of the planet REALLY matter to the entire settlement. If they aren't outfitted properly, it doesn't work.
   
4. Personal Ship Fleet. I don't like the current cargo linking, what is this random UC bucket doing on my outpost. It should be MY ship fleet doing all of that. The ship stats that I invest in should be the limits for how far apart outposts can link or whether I can make the link to a settlement or city in a mission. Also just in general I would like to be able to have all my ships out at the same time in one location if I wanted to dedicate the space for it.
   
5. Pirating. The current form of bounties, smuggling, and being a pirate is terrible and not worth it gameplay wise. Make outpost features dedicated to smuggling contraband, manufacturing illicit drugs, taking on illegal missions. Your pirate outpost can link to the systems seedier parts to move contraband and bypass the scans. Stolen ships (non pirate, space, ecliptic) need to get faked registrations (on the cheap) or parted out before you can fly them around or sell them. If you need a way around a large bounty that you built up, have a dedicated illegal terminal that can get the law off your back in the settled systems for a period of time. Pirate Outposts require evil aligned assigned personnel.
   
6. "Science", Botany and Beastiaries. Gather species from across the systems into one place. Build dedicated habs for the planets composition in order to showcase living specimens from all over. I think it would be pretty great to pair this with a special ship hab and actually require capture and transport on board your ship, cause who doesn't want these aliens on board.
   
7. POI integration. Integrate your favorite POIs with outposts, remove the distance limit and put your outpost right on top of POIs and have access to them.
   
8. Abandoned. If you don't come back around to an outpost over a long enough period of time spacers, Pirates, or ecliptics take it over. This is already weakly integrated. But just crank it up way further, if you don't keep a level of defense to number of resources available at an outpost to a certain ratio expect that outpost to stop operating completely within a few weeks and have legendaries hanging out within a few months. It operates well with the rest of my outpost wishes but it could even be done in a way that semi-incentivizes outpost baiting legendaries for loot drop cycles.
   
9. Outpost logistics. A Starmap overlay. Open it from any starmap menu, and it strips away all systems non-settled systems, leaving just your outposts and the cities. From that menu, get information on what outposts are producing what resources, what outposts are linked to each other (preferably by category of what ships you have assigned), what npcs are located where, missions requests to link resources to the settled systems, and the ability to reassign everything right in menu.
   
10. True Survival Mode. Fuel matters and can get you stranded, ships cost more, repairs cost a fortune, and the ships are much delicate, but they get escape pods. When they blow its game over for that ship and everything on it, you crash land on the nearest planet/moon without a ship. A distress beacon kit and enough resources can be packed onto the pod to start a small outpost. You have to luck into another ship or get enough boost to your signal to reach one of your outposts (if you have crew and ship available to come find you) while hoping the signal doesn't bring whoever shot you out of orbit or other non-friendlies. Or you could be lucky enough to land near friendly civilian outposts or corpo operations and hitch a ride back to the settled systems to start again.
    

In this mode it would be preferable that anyone in constellation may die, or may escape if pods and also need recovery if enough pods are available as outfitted by you. Maybe Sam Coe doesn't bring Cora around all the time, maybe when he does she can get marooned right alongside you or him. Maybe her death in a ship accident drives Sam into the unity.

• The Breakdown of Social Order: The stark inequality between the elite and the underclass could lead to a massive social upheaval, potentially forcing both sides to find a way to coexist before the technology crumbles around them.

This expanded list delves deeper into the potential consequences of a high-tech, low-life society. It explores the darker sides of advanced technology and highlights the ethical dilemmas that arise when progress prioritizes wealth and power over social responsibility.

Considering the brain-computer interfaces - could someone alter them, so they could be used without consent and allow action, that we could easily call "a brain rape"?

Absolutely, in a high-tech, low-life society with Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), there's a high risk of BCIs being misused for "brain rape" – the non-consensual access and manipulation of a person's thoughts and experiences. Here are some ways it could happen:
Malicious Hacking:

• Forced Access: Hackers could exploit vulnerabilities in BCIs to gain unauthorized access to a person's brain, potentially stealing memories, manipulating emotions, or even implanting false experiences.
• Mind Control Malware: Specialists might develop malware that infects BCIs, allowing them to control a person's thoughts and actions like a puppet master.

Unethical Government Programs:

• Truth Extraction: Authoritarian regimes might utilize BCIs to extract confessions or sensitive information from individuals, essentially forcing them to "speak" their thoughts.
• Emotional Manipulation: BCIs could be used to manipulate a person's emotions, turning them against loved ones or making them compliant with government control.
• Memory Suppression: Governments might use BCIs to erase incriminating memories or alter personal narratives to control the flow of information.

Black Market Modifications:

• Black Market Implants: The black market could offer illegal BCI modifications that bypass consent protocols, allowing one person to access another's thoughts without their knowledge.
• Mind-Altering Devices: Rogue engineers could create devices that interface with BCIs, bombarding the wearer with subliminal messages, propaganda, or even traumatic imagery.

System Flaws:

• Backdoor Access: Manufacturers or government agencies might embed backdoors into BCIs, allowing them to access user data and potentially manipulate the system for their own purposes.
• Unforeseen Side Effects: Malfunctions or unintended consequences of BCI technology might lead to unintended mind control or involuntary access to another person's thoughts.

Protecting Against Brain Rape:

• Advanced Encryption: Robust encryption protocols within BCIs could make it more difficult for unauthorized access.
• Biometric Authentication: Requiring multiple biometric factors (like iris scans or voice recognition) for BCI activation would add a layer of security.
• Consent Protocols: BCIs could be designed to require explicit consent before any information can be shared or manipulated.
• Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating the public about the risks of BCI misuse could encourage responsible development and usage.

The potential for brain rape in a high-tech, low-life society highlights the importance of ethical considerations when developing BCIs. Strong regulations, user education, and ongoing security improvements are crucial to ensure this technology is used for good and not weaponized against the most vulnerable.

• Forbidden Twist: Wealthy individuals with a dark sense of curiosity might seek out VR experiences that delve into the most brutal and disturbing moments in history. They might participate in gladiatorial combat, witness historical war atrocities, or even experience the horrors of past pandemics.

1. The Bodyswap:

• Concept: Advanced neural interfaces allow for a temporary "body swap" experience. Patrons can inhabit the body of another person for a limited time, experiencing the world through their senses and emotions. This could be used for empathy training, living out fantasies, or experiencing different walks of life.
• Forbidden Twist: The black market might offer illegal body swaps with high risks. Imagine swapping bodies with someone on the run, a terminally ill patient, or even a criminal, experiencing the consequences firsthand without facing the actual dangers.

1. The Simulated Rebellion:

• Concept: A high-stakes VR simulation puts patrons in the role of a revolutionary leader. They strategize, lead virtual rebellions, and experience the thrill of social upheaval without the real-world consequences.
• Forbidden Twist: This VR simulation could become too real. Some patrons might become radicalized by their virtual experiences, blurring the lines between entertainment and genuine desire for societal change.

1. The Dream Weaver:

• Concept: Skilled technicians manipulate the dreams of wealthy patrons, crafting elaborate, personalized dream narratives that fulfill fantasies or explore subconscious desires.
• Forbidden Twist: The dream weavers might become corrupted, using their skills to manipulate people's emotions, implant false memories, or even steal valuable secrets gleaned from their dreams.

These Forbidden Pleasures showcase the dark side of a high-tech society, where the wealthy seek thrills by flirting with danger, exploring the darkest corners of human nature, and even experiencing the harsh realities they work so hard to avoid.

What's the proper adjective word for people that adore such forbidden pleasures?

Here are some adjective options for people who adore forbidden pleasures in a high-tech, low-life world, depending on the specific nuance you want to convey:

• Hedonistic: This emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure above all else, even if it means indulging in risky or immoral activities.
• Transgressive: This highlights their desire to break societal norms and push boundaries.
• Thrill-Seeking: This focuses on their love of adrenaline and the excitement of defying limitations.
• Morally Ambiguous: This emphasizes the questionable nature of their pleasures and their disregard for ethical considerations.
• Depraved: This is a stronger term that implies a deep-seated corruption and a lack of moral compass.
• Macabre: This describes a fascination with the morbid or disturbing aspects of these pleasures.
• Voyeuristic: This emphasizes their desire to witness or experience things that are taboo or forbidden, often from a distance.
• Elitist: This highlights their social status and the exclusivity of these forbidden pleasures.
