Visions and dreams

tunnel collapse in India
I dreamt a transit tunnel was being worked on and all of the sudden heard a blast and went to investigate, people were hurt and bleeding and I awoke with a name etched in my mind. I googled the name and he was the supervisor of a project in India that had his crew hurt and some killed by a cave in.? 5 yrs ago The minnesota bridge collapse
I had a dream that cars were moving over the river and I was on the opposite side, looking over to the other side I sawtrain tracks something of an industrial road way and the bridge gave way and traffic was veering off into the river. All of the sudden I was on the other side looking at a grey blue car feeling I had to get to it in order to save someones life. 2 weeks before it happened

electronic device that attaches to the skin via some sort of needle
I closed my eyes while relaxing and saw a device that attaches to the skin that has a needle that goes into the skin. the device was worn on the hand. last month

3 nukes rising from the water of the coast of America
I was helping foreigners into a church bomb shelter and then americans after they were in. I went to the ocean and saw 3 missiles rise from the ocean. several moths ago
Seattle in darkness and flames and chaos
I was in the alcove of a building it was dark and there were fires and riots and people everywhere. Very very dangerous.
portland in civil war and the infrastructure broken and cracked
I had a dream I was down town and people were shooting at each other over broken roadways as if an earth quake had destroyed much of the city, I was trying to get some place and had to have a gun to navigate the chaos. 8 yrs ago
portland overcome by foliage
I saw in a waking vision meaning I was awake and alert , portland overgrown by ivy and plants in the downtown area. what few people that were alive lived peacefully in buildings without electricity. 13 yrs ago

a massive blast in california
I dreamt I was walking through san fran inner communities where people have open door policies like a post hippy inner city commune, and then I was near a large glass tower that was being destroyed by a blast, the heat from the blast melted steel and glass itseemed nuclear. it was massive in force. 7 yrs ago
God smites the people of earth?
Talk about apocolyptic dreams ! I was in a park with some god fearing friends colors were vivid as they could be , clouds were rolling in and suddenly there was a crack of thunder unlike any I had heard before, it went through my conciousness like the voice of a god come to weigh the right and wrong. the sky had a black cloud encircled by white clouds and the hue was golden orange and red like many dreams I have had over the years. In one of those old dreams a line of mankind was as far as the eye could see , the sky was red and people were going where there truths led them.
I visualized hail forming in the heavens the size of a softball or somewhat larger, as it came down it became flames and started destroying people around our group, we made it to the suv which was silver and looked like a toyota and travelled to te slumburbs where outlaws were being sacked by this hail and destroyed.
One had a head dress of antuquity and was consumed in flames but persisted and chased me until I evaded him and returned to the suv. I then awoke.http://students.umf.maine.edu/~gagedl/china_spring04/gifs/theater.gif
if anyone has played diablo 2 the head dress was much like the headress of baal. Seems there are similarites to it around the world. it is representative of a horned god, in sumer ba al or bal. In hindu shiva.

2024.05.19 23:07 this_guy689 34 [M4F] Oregon/North America-looking for clingy gamer girl

Hello. 🙂 Happy Sunday and thank you for stopping by. I've finally gotten back into playing videogames more about 7 months ago. (Xbox one) I have a friend or 2 I play some games with but it would be nice to find a partner that's into it as well. The main games I play are diablo 3 and 4, borderlands and sometimes I'll get into some pub g and a little bit of fallout 76. I'm open to other suggestions as well. I don't really have a lot of preferences. I'm open to anyone of any age, race and body type. I guess just keep reading and see if I'd be a fit for you. 🙂
About me: I'm 34 years old, 35 here soon. I'm 5'9 with a bigger build but muscular at the same time because of work choices over the years (yes I'm trying to work on making things better in that department), and usually either have short brown hair or shaven bald. I have a full beard as well. I work full time, drive and live alone with my cat in Portland. When I'm not working or playing games, I like watching tv and movies, listening to music, drawing, hanging with friends here and there, indoor gardening etc. I do drink but I'm not an alcoholic and I am very 420 friendly.
When it comes to what I'm looking for, I think the title gets a good chunk out of the way but on top of finding a clingy gamer girl, I do like goth/emo girls or super girly girls (or a mix of both lol) but that's not a requirement, I just figured I'd put it out there lol. I am open to anyone as long as you're in north America.
I hope there's enough there to give an idea on who I am. You're welcome to ask me anything you'd like, I'm a pretty open book. I have a picture to trade if you're comfortable, but you don't have to send one right off the bat. Hopefully I'll hear from someone. 🙂

2024.05.19 20:47 Due_time10 Postgrad year or D3/juco?

19-year-old here (class of 2022) and have already completed two years of college with a 3.9 GPA at this point. I have been playing with an academy and have played some great MLS next teams since my senior year. A few teammates ended up taking the D1-D3 route. Tbh, I was mostly held back by some immigration problems (I just got Canadian citizenship this week), so getting a visa before was crazy difficult. Summer going into my senior year, I was in talks with some D1 schools in Washington, but they lost interest because getting a visa was so problematic, which is understandable. I’m on the younger side for a junior (not 20 until the end of the year), and I would like to take a post-grad year, and I’ve been in talks with a great post-grad program down in Florida. Lots of alumni end up attending good D1 programs and being drafted to the MLS, which is great. I'm mostly doing this to increase my recruiting stock since all games are live streamed and the reputation of the prep school is up there, which makes recruiting 5x easier since the staff takes care of it. The school also has good academics, with many college classes open to postgrad students. The main goal is still D1, and I know it’s just a matter of time. I know at this point I could potentially find some D3/Juco program, but only a few realistically make the jump to D1 since good programs mostly, not always, focus on transfers from other D1 programs.

2024.05.19 14:29 JarekBloodDragon Next world finals in salt lake city has to be the worst choice

You're hosting the world finals in an out door stadium, in a desert, in the summer, ON JULY 4TH.
You're running an event in an out door stadium in summer where it will probably be hot as hell, in a mid sized city at best with nothing to do. Yes they ran world finals in vegas for almost 2 decades but that always happened in march before the heat of the summer really kicked in.
For context here's some other west coast cities that probably would be better picks ordered by population.
Salt lake city metro population - 1,257,936
Portland, OR metro population - 2.5 million (This one is less logical as the only stadium big enough is their MLS stadium that seats 25k. Only 5k more than their NBA arena but with a much bigger floor space. Regardless, it's right downtown with lots to do and geographically a much better location for that time of year. Still a better option than salt lake city)
Denver, CO metro population - 2.8 million (Another mountain time city, mile high is in denver proper. Denver's airport is a huge transit hub for the west coast making for cheaper flights. In general a much better option)
Seattle metro population - 4 million (The seahawks AND mariners stadiums are right next to each other right downtown seattle. Both are on a public transit hub featuring light rail servicing the entire downtown corridor, enough said. Significantly better than salt lake city)
San Francisco metro - 4.6 million (Football stadium in santa clara and if that's not inner city enough then there's oracle park right in san francisco itself)
LA metro - 12.5 million (Just hosted a world finals event)
Like, SALT LAKE CITY of all places. Just, mind mindbogglingly dumb place to host the world finals. It doesn't even have the right infrastructure for this kind of thing. Also on a holiday in the summer in the desert, just why?

2024.05.19 08:57 MistaGalaxy I'm sorry but I just had to defend Kaizen the ML from (How to hide emperor's child)

DISCLAIMER : LONG RAMBLING (ngl, very tempted on that non judgement flair, im a coward)
I gonna said it guys, Kaizen is way too overhated and the hate towards him is unwarranted
also, this is strictly novel only, because tbh I don't like how the manhwa portrays Kaizen. and spoilers.
now truthfully does Astelle (FML) deserve a better ML (not Seibel, just a random village guy) or just stay single? yes lol
I come to this conclusion not because of Kaizen but rather I felt that Astelle would prefers the countryside life more than being an empress.
And now onto Kaizen. From the hate comments i had seen towards him, I conclude that people are just traumatized from Sovieshu's shenanigans and how the this story and the Remaried Empress have similar premise which I can see why people would lumped them all together.
And this story opening up with Kaizen divorcing Astelle after literally the day their wedding night \ahaha* do not help at all.
Ya okay, this part on why the fuck Kaizen choose the worst time to divorce Astelle is really something that I can't defend (the author prob just use it to ramp up the drama i guess lol)
But, i do can defend on why the divorce had to happened. For those uninformed, its a plot device that it is an obligation emperor and empress must consummate their marriage even though the couple can choose to use protection (??) and the plot twist comes in that dundundun Kaizen's dad is dead literally the next day thus Kaizen's emperor reigns began.
From the flashbacks, we can see that Kaizen from the young age have always being wary of any potential threats to the throne and ironically the girl (Astelle) he was betrothed to was the daughter of said threat. So the boi had been planning to get rid those threats once he got that emperor power which also includes Astelle unfortunately.
Now, that does means Kaizen despises Astelle? No. At worst, he just wary of her knowing full well she is just a puppet to her father. If he does despise her, he could just kill her on the spot the moment he becomes the emperor.
Kaizen in a way does see Astelle as someone who is in the same predicament and Astelle who never confessed her feelings make him assumed that her feelings toward him is the same as him.
Which lead to him doing to what I can say to worse thing he done to Astelle. A very angsty teenage boi ignoring and avoiding his fiancee for their entire childhood. So surprise 2X, he doesn't know much about Astelle despite basically growing up together. And of course, he gonna assume that Astelle like stereo typically any upper class lady stuff.
Now onward to post-divorce. He did tried to give compensation to Astelle after learning that she had been kick out by her OG family and of course Astelle heartbroken, understandably rejected it which make him assume that Astelle found a decent life elsewhere.
ok now i gonna list down things i appreciated about Kaizen after did i mentioned that i binged read this novel 3 times?
  1. Bro is completely and painfully aware that Astelle do not like him. So yes, he's aware that divorcing literally after the wedding night is a total dick move. So he never does force or blackmail Astelle (the divorce was mutually agreed) but just took every chance to dragged out the trip so he can hopefully convinced Astelle to stay.
Heck, he even tried to give Astelle and her new family free mansion in the capital because he's aware that Astelle is near to zero chance would want to be an empress so at least he could watch over her. (so close, so far FR lol)
  1. He's very straightforward. He would always confessed that he does feel jealousy when Astelle is having good time with any other man. And expressed disappointment when Astelle wouldn't understandably trust him.
  2. He's not completely down bad for Astelle. While most of the story Kaizen would say yes to Astelle including when Astelle is planning to work together with her father aka the worst threat to Kaizen. Kaizen doesn't let Astelle completely clouded his judgment when she request her very sick maternal grandpa and her young nephew back to the poor countryside which yah doesn't really made sense in Kaizen's POV. And he did hilariously a petty revenge on Astelle by stealing away Theo (post-reveal) by convinced Theo to sleep at the Emperor's Palace instead for a night.
Also, I'm not joking 99% of Astelle and Kaizen's interactions ended up Astelle hilariously rejects any Kaizen's advances. (MLs despair and desperation after got rejected by FMLs just tickled me pink for some reason. Literally why i fuckin love these type of tropes lol) And much to our beloved FML dismay, just like her stubbornness. Kaizen stubbornly would not back down.
Now this arc got me emotional the most so i gonna ramble about it.
Onward to the post-"Theo is revealed to br Kaizen's son" arc, Astelle agreed to be the empress again due to some politics stuff that I didn't remember on the condition that Kaizen must agreed to divorce her after 3-5 years later with no strings attached. (like she's had enough lmao) then the maternal grandpa accidentally reveal Astelle's former crush to Kaizen that just give even more emotional dmg to Kaizen which just lead to him to say fuck this and allowed Astelle to leave anytime she wants (and gift her a castle and even the entire East region) with the promised that he would not remarried and Theo will succeed him as the emperor. then he got poisoned. DUNDUNDUN
Now, Astelle could have just took this fine opportunity to leave but of course she didn't and Kaizen while in and out of consciousness, said "i gonna die, huh? welp rn i wanna write my last will to give all of my authority to Astelle". Bro already accepted his fate ヽ(*。>Д<)o゜. and when Astelle said to please recover quickly for Theo and for her, Kaizen literally said, "Wait, you actually want to save me?" gahhhhhhhhh angsttt gyahhhhhhh
OK FINE, i be honest, i'm just here to let out my fangirl moments (no friends moment frfr) I do not expect this incoherent ramblings of a mess would change anyone's mind lol.
on my first read of the novel (back to the ex is my guilty troupe kek) , I literally do not care about Kaizen, thinking he just a whatever ML but after looking at the comments that just 90% shitting on him even multiple times comparing to the likes of GRADE A-HOLE, Sovieshu made me thinking, he's not that bad tho, convinced to re-read again the novel and again for good measure hehe. And the guy (as evidence from the mess of an essay) warmed up to me.
As you can see, i really do like this novel. (just shows what my standards are ehe)
  1. top tier FML (I don't really care for children so sorry Theo)
  2. small cast of characters and small world building, at least make me remember all of them upon my binge read.
  3. Politics is understandable and doesn't felt it doesn't dragged out that much.
  4. I don't why ppl kept thinking Seibel is the 2nd ML when bro is introduced much later part of the novel. so thankfully no fuckin love triangle.
  5. Don't really care much about Astelle mom's past B-plot tho
8/10

2024.05.19 05:09 Beginning-Cry7722 Hotels with free parking or/and breakfast? Help Please! Thank you!

Hey! This is my first time in Portland.. I'm visiting for 5 days for work in August. I'd like to stay closer to the Beaverton area (closer to the office I'd be visiting during my trip) but I'm open. I'll be paying for my stay and renting a car. Chains like Hyatt/Hilton are alright too. I never had any trouble finding free breakfast and free parking in suburbs outside Portland.
I'm surprised to find no options in the city or suburbs. I found some good hotels in $150/night range but the parking seems to be $50/day. My kids + partner may be visiting with me.. So I'd like to have the parking close by (if not in the facility).
Any tips? Thank you!

Open Roads
Open Rodas, the first title from Open Roads Team, the game developer that was created for this project. This company was joined by Fullbright, an American game developer based in Portland, responsible for two notable titles such as Gone Home and Tacoma, major international successes in the indie games industry.
The game is a mystery thriller that involves unraveling the past of Tess and Opal's family. Through Walking Simulator, you can control Tess through the different scenarios presented. In each scenario, you have to investigate the objects in order to find the different letters, tickets and postcards that tell the story of the family's life, specifically that of Tess's grandmother and Opal's mother, Helen. The tickets found pace the story so that just the right amount of information is released, and from there a discussion begins between Tess and her mother, Opal. The conversation between the two is the basis of the entire structure of the work. At times, these conversations require a decision on Tess's part, so the player must decide what and how to speak at crucial moments, be it something softer, harsher or indifferent. Tess's personality is left up to the player.
As for the story, it is handled gracefully by the developers, with no jumps, which makes the game very solid, something characteristic of the visual novels it is clearly inspired by. The main story consists of investigating the past of Helen, the protagonist's grandmother, because after her death and the foreclosure of the house, the mother and daughter find themselves packing up their belongings for the inevitable move. In order to find an old notebook for Opal's sister, Tess goes up to the attic and discovers a hidden compartment that holds secrets from the old widow's past and a supposed love that didn't end well. To find out the truth, mother and daughter embark on a journey that takes them to the family's old summer house and then to Canada. This range of mysteries is delivered at a steady pace and surprises at its climax with a somewhat unexpected plot. Concurrent with the main story are the secondary issues that are exposed, these directly involving Tess and Opal, issues that include the separation of Tess's parents, Opal's financial difficulties and Aunt August's strange relationship with the family.
https://preview.redd.it/3n1f9cubia1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=a99ddcc12ede7ac7ec01d5a86de9ccaf1832afc3
When it comes to building the characters, both the secondary themes and the setting take center stage. The secondary themes work on Tess and Opal's different family relationships, they work on different fronts. The first front begins with Tess's argument with her mother and the messages exchanged with her father, which reveal the real reason for their separation, and which are later put to rest. The second front is related to the family's financial situation, which has been exposed since the beginning of the book, after all Opal didn't have the money to pay the mortgage and avoid the confiscation of the house, later the problem is developed with the revelation of Opal and her ex-husband's work, and the crazy financial things they both did, another point that makes this situation of financial difficulty clear is Tess working from a very young age to try to depend as little as possible on her parents. The last front involves Aunt August, where the play exposes the difficult relationship between her and her sister Opal and their mother, Helen, who, through not paying the mortgage on the house and not being there for her during the most difficult moments of Helen's illness, showed an emotional distance from the rest of the family. All three of these secondary stories help to build up the characters, since the problems they face need to be resolved in some way, even if not definitively, so their journey to uncover the family's past is also essential to repairing the present problems that surround them.
The elements of the map play a fundamental role in the work, as they are the ignition point for the story that is developed through the dialogues. The messages and objects reveal secrets and bring the past to light, both of which are essential to the development of the story, be it the main story or the secondary ones. Through the objects it is possible to discover that Helen was a writer for the local newspaper, where she went by the pseudonym Miley and offered love advice to readers. It is also possible to discover the past of Leo, Hellen's husband and father of August and Opal, who after serving in the war worked as a building inspector until his death. The use of objects to tell the story goes beyond messages, postcards and notes, making it essential to understand the family's past.
The game is short, if the player explores the settings enough it can last up to 4 hours, but it is usually shorter than that. The end of the main story is concluded with the plot revealed and the past unraveled, a period is given to this part. As for the secondary stories, which are of fundamental importance in the work, they are partially concluded, and it's fair to say that there's a period in several of them. The problems are alleviated but not solved, since many of them depend on other people and not just on the mother and daughter. However, the relationship between the two is strengthened and various grievances are put aside, and the final idea that is conveyed is “everything will work out”. It's probably at this point that the title Open Roads is conceived, the paths have been opened between the two with the problems between them resolved, now there's room for the rest to be carefully resolved by both.
Aesthetically the work is incredible, the scenery features cartoonish 3D, and the characters are animated by hand with each frame being drawn separately. The work is incredible on the characters and because of this they bring a lightness to the work that deals with such serious subjects, it's an interesting contrast to use.
In conclusion, Open Roads blends a mystery thriller, walking simulator and visual novel. The mixture makes for a concise work with incredible narrative and plot direction, the cadence of events, the competition between situations, everything happening at the right time in the right proportion, the work is magnificent. In addition, the story of an intriguing past with an unexpected plot twist, together with the current problems faced, create an ideal dichotomy to explore the two characters and their relationship. The icing on the cake is the artwork, which has a unique, rustic and labor-intensive character that almost single-handedly draws players in to experience the rest. Open Roads demonstrates that a good story, with good artwork and decent gameplay can make a short work into something striking, profound and beautiful.

Open Roads
Open Rodas, o primeiro título da Open Roads Team, desenvolvedora de jogos que foi criada para a execução desta obra. Junto a essa empresa houve também a participação Fullbright, desenvolvedora de jogos estadunidense situada na cidade de Portland, responsável por dois títulos notáveis como Gone Home e Tacoma, grandes sucessos internacionais na indústria dos jogos indie.
A obra propõe um thriller de mistério que envolve o desvelamento do passado da família de Tess e Opal. Através de Walking Simulator, é possível controlar Tess por diferentes cenários apresentados, em cada cenário é necessário investigar os objetos a fim de encontrar as diferentes cartas, bilhetes e cartões postais que contam a história de vida da família, mais precisamente da avó de Tess e mãe de Opal, Helen. Os bilhetes encontrados cadenciam a história para que somente a quantidade ideal de informação seja liberada, a partir deles é iniciado uma discussão entre Tess e sua mãe, Opal. A conversa entre as duas é a base de toda a estrutura da obra, em alguns momentos essas conversas necessitam de uma decisão por parte da Tess, assim o jogador deve decidir o que e como falar em momentos cruciais, seja algo mais suave, duro ou indiferente. A condução da personalidade de Tess fica por conta do jogador.
Em relação a história da obra, esta é conduzida graciosamente pelos desenvolvedores, sem saltos, o que faz o jogo apresentar um solidez grande, algo característico das visual novels em que a obra claramente se inspira. A História principal da obra consiste na investigação do passado de Helen, avó da protagonista, pois após a sua morte e a execução da hipoteca da casa, a mãe e filha se encontram na função de arrumar os objetos para a inevitável mudança. A fim de encontrar um velho caderno para a irmã de Opal, Tess vai até o sótão e descobre um compartimento escondido que guarda segredos do passado da velha senhora viúva e de um suposto amor que não teve um belo final. Neste momento a dúvida está exposta, Helen guardou durante todos os anos uma traição escondida?, para descobrir a verdade mãe e filha embarcam em uma viagem que as levam para a velha casa de veraneio da família e consequentemente até o Canadá. Esta gama de mistérios é entregue cadenciadamente e surpreende em seu clímax com um plot um tanto inesperado. Concorrente a história principal, tem-se os assuntos secundários que são expostos, estes envolvendo diretamente Tess e Opal, assuntos esses que comportam a separação dos pais de Tess, a dificuldade financeira de Opal e a estranha relação da tia August com a família.
https://preview.redd.it/nxwwp2s1ia1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf6cdf1db31dde176e2c00f9d45be262cf82b4b5
No que diz respeito à construção das personagens, tanto os temas secundários quanto o cenário assumem o protagonismo. Os temas secundários trabalham em diferentes relações familiares de Tess e Opal, eles trabalham em diferentes frentes. A primeira frente começa através da discussão de Tess com sua mãe e as mensagens trocadas com seu pai que apresenta o verdadeiro motivo da separação dos dois, e que posteriormente, tem panos quentes postos sobre o assunto. A segunda frente está relacionado a situação financeira da família que foi exposta desde o começo da obra, afinal Opal não teve dinheiro para pagar a hipoteca e evitar o confisco da casa, posteriormente o problema é desenvolvido com a revelação do trabalho da Opal e de seu ex-marido, e as loucuras financeira que ambos realizaram, outro ponto que deixa claro esta situação de dificuldade financeira é Tess trabalhando desde muito jovem para tentar depender o menos possível dos pais. A última frente envolve a tia August, onde a obra expõe a difícil relação entre ela e sua irmã Opal junto a sua mãe, Helen, que através do não pagamento da hipoteca da casa e a não presença dela nos momentos mais difíceis da doença de Helen, mostrou um distanciamento afetivo do resto da família. Todas essas três histórias secundárias auxiliam na construção das personagens, já que os problemas postos precisam ser resolvidos de alguma forma, mesmo que não em definitivo, então a viagem de ambas para desvendar o passado da família também é essencial para consertar os problemas do presente que as envolvem.
Os elementos do mapa tem uma papel fundamental na obra, pois são eles o ponto de ignição da história que é desenvolvida pelos diálogos. As mensagens e objetos revelam segredos e trazem o passado à tona, ambos essenciais para o desenvolvimento da história, seja a história principal ou as secundárias. Através dos objetos é possível descobrir que Helen era uma escritora no jornal local onde tinha o pseudônimo de Miley, e oferecia conselhos amorosos para os leitores. Também é possível descobrir o passado de Leo, esposo de Hellen e pai de August e Opal, que depois de servir na guerra trabalhou como inspetor de imóveis até a sua morte. O uso de objetos para contar a história vai além de mensagens, cartões postais e bilhetes, tornando-se essencial para compreender o passado da família.
A obra tem uma duração curta, se o jogador explorar bastante os cenários ela pode chegar a durar 4h, mas normalmente é mais curta que isto. O final da história principal é concluído com o plot revelado e o passado desvendado, um ponto final é dado a esta parte. Já em relação às histórias secundárias, que têm uma importância fundamental na obra, essas apresentaram uma conclusão parcial, é justo dizer que é colocado um ponto de reticências em várias delas, os problemas são amenizados mas não resolvidos já que vários dependem de outras pessoas e não somente da mãe e da filha. Porém, a relação de ambas se consolida e várias rusgas são deixadas de lado, a ideia final que é passada é “tudo dará certo”. Provavelmente é neste momento que o título é concebido, Open Roads, os caminhos foram abertos entre ambas com os problemas entre elas resolvidos, agora há espaço para que o resto seja cuidadosamente solucionado por ambas.
Esteticamente a obra é incrível, o cenário apresenta um 3D cartoonizado, e as personagens são animadas a mão com cada frame sendo desenhado separadamente. O trabalho é incrível nas personagens e por isso eles trazem uma leveza a obra que trata de assuntos tão sérios, é um contraste interessante de ser utilizado.
Concluindo, Open Roads mescla um thriller de mistério, walking simulator e visual novel. A mistura apresenta uma obra concisa que conta com uma direção narrativa e de enredo incríveis, a cadência dos acontecimentos, a concorrência entre as situações, tudo acontece no momento certo na proporção correta, o trabalho é magnífico. Além disso, a história de um passado intrigante com um plot twist inesperado, junto aos problemas atuais enfrentados criam uma dicotomia ideal para explorar as duas personagens e sua relação. A cereja do bolo é a parte artística que apresenta uma característica única, rústica e trabalhosa, que quase só por si atrai os jogadores para experimentarem o resto. Open Roads demonstra que uma boa história, com um bom trabalho de arte e uma jogabilidade decente podem fazer uma obra de curta duração ser algo marcante, profundo e lindo.

2024.05.19 01:13 Nights_Shroud Whose woods are these?

Whose woods are these?
Cryptid’s have been an obsession of mine for years, I probably checked out the same 3 or 4 books hundreds of times from my library. The card literally had my name 20 times.I would seek out all and anything that had anything to do with cryptids, this was in the Stone Age of pre YouTube. I remember watching Monster Quest and one episode really stayed with me. “The Jersey Devil”, the show runners made a life size recreation of the creature that was allegedly spotted, it’s huge yellow saucer eyes, it’s dark brown leathery skin, truly hideous, I loved it! I met my wife in Portland Oregon about 7 years ago, we hit it off immediately, so good that in the first 5 minutes I knew I was going to marry her, she is from Oradell New Jersey, a small suburb in Bergen County. So when we moved to be close to her family, the opportunity finally presented itself. Destination Pine Barrens, camping to be exact. It was about a 2 hour drive, we arrived at the cabin, it was definitely ancient. It was probably built in the 1930’s, it’s large green heavy wooden doors creaked open, it had a spring that would slam them shut behind you, almost to the point they were comically hard to open. This will become important later, we did the normal thing’s, went to look at the water, started cooking and made a fire, broke out the alcohol and probably had too much. The sun went down, we stared at the crackling fire, sparks flew in all directions. Then being really cheesy I say “Hey did you hear that?!” Obviously hearing nothing. Then like a total idiot goofball I start yelling, “Hey Jersey Devil! These are my woods now!”. We laugh even though looking back it wasn’t funny. Michelle went to the back door of the cabin and wrenched it open, using her full weight to open the door, A few seconds she screamed for me. I ran through the door, a water jug had been slashed by something, water was gushing all over the floor. I have no explanation to this day, needless to say. We definitely found out whose woods they were.

2024.05.18 22:24 sadcheeergirl I made JV Cheer as a senior and I don't know how to feel about it

I made JV Cheer Captain as a senior in highschool. Tryouts were this week, my stunt group was changed 3x and I ended up not having a group to stunt with during tryouts (my stunt was recorded the day before with a random group). The dance was incredibly hard and very fast paced. It was very overwhelming for me because I had so many different areas to work on. I would keep practicing nonstop for 5-6 hours straight. I felt very confident and knew all the material until I walked into the tryout room, I was nervous and slipped up on the dance and one cheer, but kept a smile on my face and kept going.
In reality, I knew I was not going to make varsity. This is going to be my second year in cheerleading EVER in my life and I messed up during the tryouts. Im happy I have the title of JV Captain but I feel like they only gave me that title because I am going to be a senior. I honestly did not mind the thought of being JV until one of my friends said "it would be embarrassing if you made JV as a senior". I dont think she had any harmful intent to it, but it did stick in my mind. Last year, on JV they did have a senior and did not title anyone as captain, so I am not sure how to feel. Im sad Im on JV but happy I am labeled as a Captain, and some of my other underclassmen friends are on JV so Im happy I can be there to mentor them. I just wish I made Varsity. My coach said it is an open roster and things could change any time so lets hope during the summer practices I could be moved up.
TLDR : Im a senior who made JV Cheer and was given the title JV Captain. Im sad and embarrassed that I did not make varsity but happy I am a Captain.

2024.05.18 22:17 IOrganizeU Spending Saturday p.m. thru Monday noon in the city... what's the dream itinerary?

Traveling in July as a family of 4 with 2 near-adult daughters. We enjoy checking out fun neighborhoods, possibly learning some history, eating good food, under-21 comedy venues/shows... whatever Portland does best - though sadly the girls will give a thumbs-down to biking, which would be my pick for experiencing the city.
In other cities (NYC, SF, Seattle, Atlanta etc) we've enjoyed food & neighborhood/architecture tours, so definitely open to a formal tour but also down to just explore armed with good suggestions. Staying in the Pearl district; won't have a car but happy to jump on public transport or Uber to a can't-miss. Hubs will be stoked for good beer but a beer-only spot won't be a great option as I'm GF.
Oh and we're spending 3 nights in Hood River and 2 in Astoria as well, so this is just the urban part of our trip. TIA for suggestions, ideas & intel!

2024.05.18 21:40 calpal2112 How to get seats in section 17/18?

Hey everyone! I am from Portland and a Timbers fan, now living in Salt Lake and going to a lot of RSL games as I'm just a big MLS fan too.
I want to get seats in section 17 or 18 (behind visitors bench) when the timbers come to town, but have noticed there are pretty few SeatGeek listings for those sections on any given game. Am I missing something? Is there a better place to buy tickets with more availability?
Better yet, does anybody have season tickets in those sections and looking to sell for the RSL vs Timbers game on 9/21?
Thank you!

2024.05.18 20:09 Odd_Power_1486 Teammates don't pass ball at try out

Overall I would say I'm a solid player my position is a CAM. I would also say that so far technically I'm having a good start as I scored 1 goal and assist in 4 matches. Another thing is I'm playing out of position I played LW/RW ST/CF CB/RB. And when I do play CAM my teams positioning is so poor I have to spend time inverting. As you can probably guess this gonna be sort of a rant. I have been Shooting, Dribbling, and passing the ball well I've created chances by dribbling or shooting or passing. But for some reason they wont pass the ball, I will scream while being wide open and nobody passes when they do it always gets intercepted or stolen. Then I will play the rest of the game expecting nobody to really pass the ball. The only time I get is a goal kick because are goalies love to boot it long so with my pace, dribbling, and ball control I take it down the field sometimes I may shoot and if I'm running out of energy I will cut back or play a through ball to my team. Another thing is I play 13u-14u if your wondering, but..... When they make mistakes on the ball its fine, when I do it feels like people even though I cant hear it are saying I'm trash or something but they never call themselves out. When I played my first match I took on the LB or RB and beat them near their box and cut it back it played in crosses. I never said the wing is my specialty but I was doing decent for majority of the match. But my team kept saying I'm not Messi I'm not this. I never claimed to be Messi either... Another Thing is when I haven't scanned at all and I'm under intense pressure then they wanna pass it. For example I wasn't moving and here comes my teammate dribbling towards me giving me the weakest pass ever with the defender on there tail. Since I'm nervous I play a very bad one touch pass and try to get it far away from me. Is there any tips or tricks that may help in this situation since its just tryout skirmishes I've not been taking it badly what I'm just trying to do is just have good overall performance with goals or assists or not. Because a coach said he already wanted me on his team and I may or may not have impressed others.

2024.05.18 17:36 butterflyx333 Best bottle for sleepy baby to feed on their own?

Hello all, for context my hearts been ripped in half ever since having my baby taken to the nicu on mother days evening. Not even a full 10 days ago but it feels like 10 years at this point. Born at 36w+6 , 4.7 lbs. he dropped to 4.1-4.3 lbs within first 2 days and is only just now almost back up to his birth weight. However he has a feeding ng tube, and my little ones problem is he is just SO SLEEPY we might be lucky to get 3 mL’s out of him before he completely zonks out back to sleep and then it’s back to the tube 😢 the dr straight up told me that the only thing holding him back from going home is eating on his own, finishing his own bottles (40 mL every 3 hours) on his own within 30 minutes!!!the most he’s EVER had on his own was like 30 mLS and that was one time with the nurse doing everything she can think of to keep him awake. Most of his intake on his own is in the 1 digit-teens range as far as mLs go on his own. I’m PRAYING for a miracle bottle or something that can help him do this on his own and that he’ll get the energy to wake the heck up and eat because mama is slowly withering away over here every single day without my little baby 💔 So- my main question is, are there any bottles that YOU recommend that helped your little one start eating on their own and taking milk from a bottle without working too hard, tiring out, having to just get the tube all the time? He sucks on the blue standard hospital pacifier just fine for atleast 5-10 mins max sometimes but as far as bottles go, if I’m lucky for him to even open his mouth wide enough, he’ll take 3 sucklings and straight up fall right back asleep with the bottle in his mouth. I’m trying to find that magic bottle with the perfect nipple that will help my little guy finish his bottles so that he can come home. I know there are so many different types of nipples and flows, if it helps the nurse said he’s collapsing the slow flow nipples and wouldnt be getting any milk out of them and then would be pooped out by then. Any recommendations appreciated. 🙏🏼 ❤️‍🩹 🥺
Edited post to add- for what it’s worth, his little mouth is so tiny I’m still having a hard time getting him to OPEN his mouth up half the time he’ll slightly open but his little gummies get in the way he won’t open like a big circle to push the bottle in so he does have a little tiny mouth.
