I'm sure a lot of people probably know this already but I just discovered a little cheat/hack for money in Fable 3.
As you're playing, buy out properties, especially shops. When you go to work, sleep, etc, don't turn off the game! Put a rubber band or something around your controller and the right/camera stick so the camera does a slow spin. Then plug your controller into the console specifically. This keeps your controller connected, if you have batteries that don't charge through the controller's plug in hole (most 3rd party battery packs) or non-rechargeable batteries, remove them first to avoid any damage, better safe than sorry. Note: a friend on Xbox one said her controller disconnected when plugged into the wall and not her console but worked when she plugged into her console. Now just leave the game running, I'm not sure if sitting in sanctuary matters but I don't personally. By the time you return to your game, your houses will probably have fallen to 0% condition and stopped paying rent at some point, your shops never need repair though so they'll have still provided income!
Doing this with houses at low rent and food stalls at 0, I got to 6.5mil before I even got to Reaver's Mansion (I side quested a lot) and by the time I got to Aurora I had 10mil, repaired and sold houses, and ended up with like 14mil. Repairing houses is definitely annoyingly tedious so feel free to only buy shops or only buy shops + millfields houses or something.
I'm playing on Xbox One so I'm not certain about other consoles. If you try it out on other platforms, lmk and I'll add it here!
Ps, my name Xbox username is yaNasteeONT, feel free to say hi, I give gold generously and can buy you the weapons from my game/will buy yours twice over lol

On to the second round and awaiting is the #1 seed OKC. The Thunder easily dispatched the “Zion-less” NOP in 4 games so they came in rested. SGA, who finished 2nd in MVP voting, which should be a crime, but that is for a different thread, averaged over 30 points per game during the regular season. OKC plays a smooth inside out game with Chet Holmgren who can step out and hit a three or drive and dunk. Paired with a tough, physical defender in Lu Dort and then a bunch of guys named Jalen/Jaylin Williams who can get buckets. Throw in rookie Cason Wallace, Andrew Wiggins and Isaiah Joe and you get a team that can punish you from distance and put points up in a hurry.
Game 1: Loss 117-95
OKC came into this series with a specific game plan. Be physical. Fight through screens, don’t go under or over them and get into the body on every play of Doncic. The first quarter the teams were “feeling” each other out. Luka had 8 points to pace the Mavs and buckets by Gafford inside along with some three’s from Green and PJ rounded out the scoring. For OKC, SGA with some pull ups and inside play by Chet balanced out the scoring from Dallas. As well as some three’s by Dort and Jaylin Williams saw the first quarter knotted at 23. The second quarter saw a LOT of fouls on the Mavs and SGA, despite sitting the first 4 minutes had 7 FT’s as part of an 11 point quarter. Chet continued solid play inside but it was Aaron Wiggins who caught fire in the quarter with a 12 point explosion. SGA finished the half with 19 points (9 of 11 from the FT line!) on 5 of 10 shooting and one of 3 OKC players in double figures. Luka had 12 points but was just 4 for 12 from floor and missed 3 FT’s. Thunder up 62-53 at the break. Dallas opened the 3rd quarter on a run and a 3 by Kyrie cut the lead to 66-65 forcing a timeout by OKC. However out of the time out, back to back threes from the Thunder plus a steal and dunk by Williams put them back up 7. SGA had 10 points in the 3rd to give him 29 for the game and despite Kyrie stepping it up and PJ hitting on yet another corner 3, the Mavs were down 10 going into the 4th. Luka was just 1 for 5 from the floor. A personal 8-0 run from Jalen Williams with two threes put OKC up 102-87 and they never looked back. Luka finished out going 6 for 19 from the floor and 1-8 from 3. OKC has now won 8 straight games going back to before the playoffs started.
Game 2: Win 119-110
Remember that whole “Luka after a loss” thing? Yeah it’s real. Despite visibly being in pain just moving up and down the court, Luka came ready to ball. Making his first 3 shots and dropping 8 points in 3 mins the Mavs went out to a 13-2 lead. Also, probably the luckiest thing to happen to the Mavs as Luka gets tripped running full speed and his face bounces DIRECTLY off the court….HARD. Any number of things could have happened that would have put him out for a few game. He could have gotten a concussion, broken his nose or knocked a tooth out. Somehow he got up relatively unscathed and he used that to his advantage. And, Luka wasn’t alone. PJ Washington put his mark on this game in the opening quarter will 11 points and 3 for 3 from three to go along with Luka’s 16 points on 6 of 8 shooting. A ridiculously difficult shot from Chet to end the quarter had Dallas only up four going into the 2nd quarter. Eight different Mavs scored during the second, lead by 2 more three’s from PJ as well as 2 from Josh Green. SGA, who’s midrange game and smoothness rival prime Kawhi had 8 points to go with the inside and outside shooting of Joe and Jalen Williams. Mavs won the quarter by 2 to take a six point lead into the break. The Thunder took the lead with about 6+ mins to go on outside shooting by Chet and Dort but THJ (who had 4 points in the 1st half) had a monster quarter 10 point quarter. A couple of mid range shots plus an and 1 three helped Dallas push the lead to 10 going into the 4th. PJ also hit 2 more three’s making him 7 for 10 from deep and a very much needed boost. 4th quarter was Luka time. 3 of 5 from the floor with a much needed 3 helped Dallas to stay up and get the road win, snapping the 8 game winning streak. Luka finished with 29/10/7/3/1 and PJ finished with 29/11/4/2/1. They combined to go 12 of 19 from 3! Just like the Clippers series the Mavs did their job and took one on the road heading back to Dallas.
Game 3: Win 105-101
Gafford and PJ got into the paint frequently to start the game to help take the burden off of Luka and Kyrie. The physical play from Dort on Luka picked up in intensity right from the opening tip. Luka only took 3 shots in the quarter but drew fouls going 4 for 5 from the line along side 6 rebounds (2 offensive) for the quarter. But PJ Washington showed that game 2 was not a fluke and poured in 11 for the quarter. SGA continued his barrage of attacking the rim and mid range jumpers to pace the Thunder. Mavs up 3 after one. The second quarter was starting to get chippy with both teams ramping up the physicality. PJ hit two more 3’s and added a bucket to get 8 for the quarter to go along with Luka’s 8 as well. But SGA and Isaiah Joe pushed the tempo and helped the Thunder take a one point lead going into the break. Kyrie had a quiet 8 points in the first half, and outside of Luka and PJ, no one else was doing much. Adjustments were made by Kidd at half and despite SGA’s eight points in the 3rd, he needed 7 shots to do it and was not getting the easy, iso, jumpers he was in the first half and first two games. Kyrie and PJ showed up for the third quarter. The pair went 4 for 7 from deep and tallied 14 points. Combined with the inside finishing of Gafford, the Mavs were up 4 going into the final period. The 4th was back and forth with the Maverick lead changing from 6 to 4 to 2 points continuously. OKC would not go away and continued to hit big shot after big shot. However, Kyrie, Luka and Lively would not let this team loose. The Thunder implemented a “Hack a Lively” strategy hoping the 7’1” rookie would not convert. After going 1-4 on the first two fouls, Lively went 4 for 4 to keep the Dallas lead. With 2:17 left in the game and Dallas clinging to a 100-97 lead, Luka stole a pass on the fast break and took it to the rim to put Dallas up 5. On a wild kick out from SGA to Dort, Luka got tangled with Dort in the air going for the steal and landed on his back hard that was called a jump ball. Not only did Luka win the Jump but then tracked down the ball with the Mavs clinging to a 3 point lead with 90 seconds to play. Then Kyrie drove across the lane and hit a tough, left handed 10 foot floater with under 40 seconds left to put Dallas back up 5, 104-99. Luka drew an offensive foul with his face on SGA on the ensuing possession. Game Dallas. Despite 31/10/6 from SGA Luka (one of 3 Mavs over 20 points) finished with 22/15/5. Kyrie also had 22/5/7 but it was PJ stealing the show again with 27 points.
Game 4: Loss 100-96
This game was so beyond frustrating. We controlled the tempo and were lock down defensively for the first 2 and a half quarters. Luka and PJ were again pacing the Mavs who got threes from 6 different players and held OKC to just 1 of 10 from deep. SGA was continuing his barrage of midrange jumpers and attacking the rim but the Mavs were too much and were up 15 at the break. The Mavs simply took their foot off the gas in the second half. Everything that was going so right in the first half quickly stopped. Despite 2 more corner threes from PJ and 9 points in the quarter the Mavs got just 6 more points from the rest of the team. SGA was cooking, matching his first half total in the 3rd quarter. However the Mavs still had an 8 point lead going into the final period. Just sloppy play cost Dallas this game in the fourth. Bad possessions after bad possessions allowed OKC to chip the lead away. And with 90 seconds left, Jalen Williams dunk put OKC up 94-91. The Mavs still had a chance to tie down 2 with 10.1 seconds and Luka going to the line but he missed the first FT and that was all folks. Despite the loss, Luka had a 18/10/10 triple double and PJ lead Dallas in scoring again with 21. Kyrie had just 9 points. The Mavs could have taken a strangle hold on the series going back to OKC being up 3-1. And despite a franchise playoff record 13 blocks from Dallas, they headed back to the Thunder tied at 2-2.
Game 5: Win 104-92
So again, after a Loss, it’s Luka time. He came out aggressive as hell and showed little signs of the absolute beating he had taken in games 1-4. Hitting a ridiculous one hander from just inside the line as well as a patented wing step back he was firing on all cylinders. PJ, the hero of the last three games went to the bench with 2 fouls in 3:30. DJJ said hold my beer. A perfect 4 for 4 from the floor including two three’s gave him 10 in the first quarter. Adding to Luka’s 8/3/3 the Mavs clung to a two point lead. OKC had scoring from 7 different players in the first quarter. Luka continued his relentless assault on OKC and added another 9 points in the second quarter. DJJ again was perfect from the floor with a bucket and a 3 to have the Mavs up 10 at the break. SGA had just 10 points for OKC and Jalen Williams and Chet were held to 4 of 12 shooting. OKC wasn’t going away though. SGA came out firing in the 3rd and dropped 14 points, however Luka, Kyrie and PJ kept the lead at double digits with 4 of 9 from deep. The Mavs got all the big rebounds in the 3rd quarter. And despite shooting only 2 FT’s through 3 quarters, Dallas was up 12 going into the 4th. Luka was money again in the 4th and Lively knocked down 5 of 6 FT’s in the final period to take another game on the Road. Luka had a 31/10/11 second straight triple double as five Mavs were in double figures and they are one win away from the conference finals for the second time in three years heading back to Dallas.
Game 6: Win 117-116
Holy shit what a game this was. The Mavs were down 17 and it was a tale of two halves. Luka was perfect from the floor and the line in the first quarter with 8 points. Gafford and Lively got some buckets but the Thunder were just relentless both inside and out in the first period going 5 of 12 from deep and taking a 7 point lead into the second. SGA, Jalen Williams and Dort each had 3 buckets in the first 12 minutes. The second quarter was much of the same with SGA taking over dropping 14 points. Luka had 7 more points missing just 1 shot in the half but the Thunder were too much and held a 15 point advantage at half. Kyrie had just 4 points in the first half. SGA, Jalen Williams and Chet were strong in the 3rd quarter with 21 points between them but the Mavs started locking down on D and limiting the Thunder to 1 shot. Luka, Kyrie and DJJ just went flamethrower from deep combining for 6 of 9 from beyond the arc to spark the Mavs. The 15 point lead was down to just 6 going into the final period. The crowd was electric. You could feel the momentum swinging but SGA was also having himself a game with 28 points going into the 4th. Luka was a master facilitator with 5 dimes in the final period and Kyrie and PJ were beyond huge as I will get into in a moment. Shout out to Kidd for recognizing that Lively was “THE GUY” and played him the entire 4th where he was 3 for 3 from the floor, 2 for 3 from the line and grabbed 6 boards. Back to the game. Dallas scored 6 points in a 42 second span to take a 107-105 lead with 3:30 left. Jalen Williams immediately drains a 3 to put OKC back up 108-107. Luka drives and gets blocked with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. DJJ picks it up and gets it to Kyrie with 1.5 left on the clock. Pull up 3 that bounced 4 times on the rim and in to push Dallas back in front 110-108. SGA knots it at 110-110 with 2:40 left. Moving screen on Lively. OKC Ball. PJ with amazing D on SGA gives Dallas back the ball with just over 2 minutes remaining. PJ Drains a three on the other end to put Dallas up 113-110. DJJ makes a ridiculous fadeaway as the shot clock expires to go up 5 with 1:10 remaining. And of course SGA just drains a three immediately to cut the lead to 2. One minute to play. PJ Misses a three in the corner. OKC ball, down two with 30 seconds remaining. Foul on PJ followed by a dead ball foul on PJ going through Dort on a screen. OKC gets 1 FT which they hit. OKC ball down 115-114, 27 seconds left. SGA lob to Chet for the dunk and a 116-115 edge with 20 seconds left. Luka dribbling down into the paint, under 6 seconds left, looses the handle a bit and dishes to PJ in the corner who double clutches a 3 but there is a foul on the 3 with 2.5 left. OKC Challenges and looses burning their final TO in the process. PJ to the line for 3 FTs. 3 HUGE FT’s down 1. Makes the first. Tie Game. Makes the 2nd, Mavs up one. Intentionally misses the 3rd and OKC with no timeouts can only launch a prayer which is NO GOOD. MAVS WIN. MAVS WIN. MAVS WIN. Luka with a 3rd straight triple double with 29/10/10. Mavs shot 52.4% from behind the arc in the 2nd half. Gaff / Lively combined for 22/22/4/1/2. Conference Finals baby.
8 Wins. 8 to go.

Let's start with the big one:
*The matchmaking - I've never been pred and I've never hit 20 bomb 2k but they are in my EVERY lobby (my KD is 0.7). On the rare occasion I come across bots and low level players which isn't nice either. The experience means you never know what you are about to run into, yes there are higher and lower level lobbies but I've had a #60 horizon pred in the same lobby as a level 24 gibby. How are you supposed to approach fights? Also 20 bombs should only be possible on a very rare occasion If the lobbies are in anyway fair, almost every game you have one sweat with 13+ kills mid game stomping on everyone. It seems to me that as time goes on the casual dad gamers/beginners are being slowly demoralised to the point of uninstall that only the sweats are left, and because of instant queue times they put you with who they have.
*The guns - although it's always nice to pick up gold weapons and not bother with attachments this ramps up the level of sweaty to 120, in normal BR you have to deal with normal recoil. I'd like to see mostly grey weapons, the purple havoc is everywhere and out of control
*Ability abuse - I believe alter is the most balanced 1v1 legend, horizon is being used and abused and is frankly way too OP for solos, especially combined with zero audio on footsteps and landings. After that it's mirage spamming ults, revs using their ults to gain that little extra health and conduit healing mid fight
"Xim/Chronus/Strikepack - I have no evidence of this only that there are apparently over 1.2 million downloads/purchases of these, some of my replays seem very sus and they remind me of watching ppl hip fire in ALGS without missing a bullet, it's not possible for everyone to be THAT good.
*Servers - the closest one I play on is 60ping but even that has me being shot around corners and through doors, it's a known issue in apex. Each game on the same servers has different ping for me which tends to mess me up when it comes to leading my shots, it doesn't help you get a good grip on how you should be shooting/playing
*Aim assist - not aim assist specifically but more ping + server + game responsiveness + aim assist. Even on the same servers I've had back to back games where I miss 70% of my shots and feel like a complete bot and others where I can feel my shots landing and am in full control because the game is working. Yes you can have good games and bad games but I've played enough to expect a decent level of consistency in my performance. Conspiracy theory: I think this is intentional control, the game offers you wildy different experiences based on how they want it, when they want you to lose you will lose. The game is designed to keep you playing and will frustrate you to the point of dementia before throwing you a scrap of goodwill.
*3rd parties - apex is known for 3rd parties but this is on another level, after a successful 1v1 you better run for your life because another 2 to 3 characters are instantly apeing your location. Sometimes you don't even have time to insta shield swap before being beamed in the back of the head
*Teaming - was a big issue in ranked last season but in solos it seems some happens by chance and others are planned, I've seen it at least 3 or 4 times, one time it was a even a 3 man! It would be so easy to solve this problem with a 10min ban like when you quit a game on purpose.
*Shield swaps - a great new addition to a fast paced mode I just can't get my head around the fact that when a player fully dies the second time, the box drops with no shield beside it and you have to loot the box which takes an extra 2 seconds. Crucial time wasted when you are being insta pushed by others
*1v1 damage - I think that if you've done 145+ damage on the same guy 3 times but he keeps getting away (aka pathy or rev) their automatic heals should start to slow down. I've done 400 to 500 damage on one guy in a very short space of time only for him to quick heal or get a lucky shield swap, deal only a 100 on me and boom I'm dead. In standard BR he'd be dead.
*Kill stealing - If you have done 95 to 99% damage on one guy in a single clip and someone else comes along and one taps them I think the kill should be yours. I know COD implemented something like this. This is also annoying on the main BR modes where it can end up with 2 kills and 9 assists.
*Proximity warning - a great new addition to a mode where people could be hiding or camping anywhere. When you hit purple shield you should also get a "look direction" warning where you get indicators of being aimed at and from which direction (something similar exists in warzone/fortnite) this would help massively with audio issues and 3rd parties.
*1v1 mode - Respawn would do well to add a 1v1 ranked mode (no 3rd parties) to satisfy the solo sweats, like you have in the firing range, I think this would take a bit of pressure away from solos if it was to remain.
*Actual AI bots - I'd like to see more actual bots in the game, simple ones for the beginners who are getting sh%t on from day 1 and super sweat bots to fill high level pred lobbies. It would make the game more balanced.
The purpose of this post is not to generally complain but just to express my opinion on solos and think about possible improvements, it could be so good but I think they'll take it out.
Your thoughts?

Sylvia: All you feel is ecstasy when you kill. It’s like you’re getting off… Seriously, you need help.
Travis: Everybody deals with grief differently, right? Some people fuck at funerals. I cut off heads.

Travis Touchdown is a slacker, drinks too much, watches too much anime, plays too much video games, and buys way too much merchandise. However, when he runs out of money to buy more posters or figurines, he can be pretty slick with a beam katana. Using the Blood Berry model that he won in an online auction, Travis moonlights as an assassin and kills Helter Skelter, the eleventh best assassin in the United Assassins Association rankings. This thrusts him into a desperate struggle against the top ten assassins in the hopes of winning piles of prize money and a chance to bone the UAA organizer, Sylvia Christel.
After killing his own sister and reaching the top spot, Travis's life has become a whole lot harder. Not only do aspiring killers break down his door from time to time to challenge the Crownless King, but villains also target his friends and neighbors in attempts to break his spirit. After losing his best friend Bishop, Travis moves to the country for a quiet life, but rivals like Badman or alien invaders like FU seem to keep dragging him back into the Garden of Insanity for more bouts of bloodshed.

Beam Katanas

General Attributes

• Beam Katanas run off battery life. Once Travis runs out, he must vigorously shake his weapon in order to restore its beam blade.
• Beam Katanas instantly short out during contact with water. This also creates a kind of electric backlash that shocks Travis while he’s holding it.
• Can attach an Accelerator to the handle of the katana to locate buried objects
• Can be used to safely destroy buried land mines
• After planting his sword in Matt Helms’ forehead, Travis cranks it up to “full power”, causing Matt’s head to explode
• Sticks a piece of highly corrosive space ore on his unextended beam katana, batters Gold Joe with it, then extends the blade to impale the alien’s head

• Travis clashes blades with Henry Cooldown, who can slice through Letz Shake’s huge Earthquake Maker machine
• Stops a charge from Jasper Batt Jr’s flying car

Specific Models

• Blood Berry- Travis’s initial katana, bought in an online auction in preparation for the assassin’s tournament
• Tsubaki- Visually similar to Blood Berry, this upgraded weapon has higher battery life than the base model
• Tsubaki Mk-II- This Beam Katana boasts four extra beams that rotate around the central beam. With that much extra strength comes more weight than earlier models, and Travis must wield this katana with both hands.
• Tsubaki Mk-III- The only Beam Katana in the first game that does not need an extractable frame piece, leading to a weapon that closely resembles an actual katana. While it’s a bit weaker than the Mk-II, it’s much faster and has the highest DPS and battery life of any weapon in the Tsubaki line. This weapon is also called the Camellia Mk-III in the second game.
• Rose Nasty- A pair of blades, the longer one held in the right hand. This makes for slightly weaker weapons, but they can be swung faster than other swords and can lead to higher combos.
• Peony- Basically a broadsword, this long, heavy weapon must be wielded with two hands. The blade extends even further when Travis fills the Ecstacy Gauge.

Dark Side Roulette

Special abilities that Travis can make use of depending on the luck of the draw. In the first game, these trigger after killing an enemy, and in the subsequent games, they also trigger upon delivering a wrestling move.
Time/Speed-Based

• Cherry- Time is slowed dramatically from Travis’s perspective while he moves at normal speed
• Cranberry Chocolate Sundae- Time slows to a crawl and Travis is only able to walk. If he approaches an enemy, he strikes them down with a brutal finisher, killing them near-instantly. In the second game, Travis turns into his fursona, a tiger, and tears enemies to shreds with his mouth and claws
• Bars- Travis swings his sword much faster than normal, causing most enemies to get stun locked by sword combos during the duration of the powerup

Energy Attacks

• Blueberry Cheese Brownie- Travis is able to fire explosive blasts of energy from his Beam Katana that instantly kill human enemies The same move from the second game
• Strawberry on the Shortcake- Travis temporarily gains golden hair and his katana crackles with power. His movement speed increases and he can perform Death Blows with greater ease. In the second game, this move behaves similarly to the Cherry effect
• Anarchy in the Galaxy- Getting this outcome lets Travis store one charge, up to three max. When used, Travis creates a number of purple explosions, wiping out all human enemies in the vicinity.
• Gooseberry Sugar Donut- Travis sheaths his sword for a moment before unleashing a massive, expanding dome of energy. Any human enemies caught in this dome are instantly killed.

Armor-Based

• 777s- Travis summons his mechanical armor and hovers, then uses a reticle to target enemies with homing missiles
• Green 777s- Travis summons his armor in Full Green Mode. Rather than just launching a volley of missiles like with the default 777s, he spends several seconds in the armor while swinging a larger beam sword and accessing armor-exclusive moves.

Other

• Coins- WESN, a currency, explodes from the enemy’s body for Travis to collect
• Cherries- Utopicoins, a currency, explode from the enemy’s body for Travis to collect
• Stars- Travis gains invulnerability and ignores all damage from enemies for a number of seconds
• Bells- Travis goes into Throw Crazy Mode. His hands become wreathed in flames, and for several seconds, he can grapple and slam enemies without needing to stun them. He can also perform throws on downed enemies, leading to long stun chains.

Non-Roulette Abilities

• Dark Step- Dodging right before a blow connects allows Travis to slow time down from his perspective for a few moments
• Ecstasy Mode- By killing enemies and avoiding damage, Travis fills a meter represented by a tiger that extends the length of his sword combos. Once full, he can enter a temporary Super Mode where he becomes invincible and moves much faster.

Death Glove

When Travis was sucked into the video game world through the magic game console, the Death Drive Mk II, he was granted the Death Glove, a controller that allowed him to perform special techniques. After he escaped the console, he maintained the glove and could perform a couple special moves in the real world, too. After each use, the chosen move goes on a short cooldown before it can be used again.
Some of these clips feature characters other than Travis, as many of these moves are universal and can be performed by any playable character.
Powers from Travis Strikes Again
The last level takes place in the real world, and Travis can still use all of his Chips like normal, although that may have to do with being close to the CIA’s more powerful Death Drive Mk-II.

• Shining Chip- Telekinetically grabs an enemy and then tosses them backwards
• Psycho Chip- Fires projectiles that can stun and damage struck enemies
• Heavy Chip- Creates an area of effect that slows down all enemies within
• Atlas Chip- Throws forward a sticky bomb that explodes after a short delay

• NBMB (Nuts Berry Milk Blancmange) Chip- Temporarily causes Travis' normal attacks to release a meteor-shaped projectile
• Travisman Formation Chip- Can only be used in conjunction with Badman. The two men turn into one being and let loose a screen nuke attack, wiping out all normal enemies in a flash of light. This technique does not work on bosses.

Powers from No More Heroes 3

• Death Kick- Travis performs a flying dropkick, traveling across the battlefield to strike the nearest enemy, stunning them
• Death Slow- Creates a small field that slows down any enemies caught inside
• Death Force- Telekinetically grips a single enemy and throws them backwards
• Death Rain- Creates a field a few feet above the air that “rains down” damaging projectiles on enemies

Death Glove Chips
A majority of these chips offer only minor gameplay differences, but there are three that more dramatically alter Travis’s abilities.

• 80 Chip- Alerts Travis when collectibles are nearby
• Legend Chip- Lets Travis fire beams from his blade
• Z Chip- Reduces cooldowns for Death Skills to zero

Other Uses

• Dr. Juvenile, creator of the Death Drive Mk II, has downloaded her consciousness into the Death Glove and acts as an AI helper. She analyzes an alien substance when Travis presses it against the Glove.
• Allows Travis’s cat, Jeane, to travel with Travis within the glove. Jeane can exit the glove and float around in an orange bubble before landing on the ground.

• After filling the Ecstacy Gauge, it can extend the length of its blade to empower a slash
• Throws the Santa Death Parade’s giant robot into outer space, then obliterates it with a railgun

Arsenal Rollout Model

• When Travis is falling off a skyscraper, the Glove transfers an Arsenal Rollout Model from the Daemon X Machina universe to save him. Travis uses it to batter Damon Riccitiello’s much larger mech.
• Stabs into Damon Riccitiello’s truly massive mech, flies into space on his own mech, then jumps out and impales through the torso of Damon’s mech

Fourth-Wall Awareness

• He asks about Jeane’s tragic past and she replies that the sordid details would jack up the game’s age rating even further. To avoid this, Travis “fast forwards” the conversation, making it so that he gets the information but keeps it from the player of the game.
• Demands to know what Sylvia was up to between the first and second game, then looks to the camera for support from the player
• Acknowledges the gap between NMH2 and Travis Strikes again and tries to introduce himself to the new players
• Jeane explains that Travis isn’t really breaking the fourth wall but instead sensing the presence of the player directly
• Starts blaming the game directors when he thinks he’s stuck in a bugged save

Preface

The best source of information is always the PokeRogue Wiki. This guide does not explain the mechanics of the game. The Wiki can do a better job. Read that.
I am writing this guide because a lot of the other guides I've found are long-winded, poorly formatted, and/or incomplete. This is a compilation of everything I’ve learned from this sub, YouTube, and the wiki. I have distilled all the information from the best sources, listed at the bottom, and my own experience. I will be updating this guide as needed. Please let me know if anything I've written is incorrect or out of date.

How to Unlock Endless

Beat Classic mode. Use Skelliderge or legendaries to beat it. Or see the daily community tiering posts and use any high tier Pokémon you’ve unlocked. Keep at it. You can do it.

What’s the point of Endless?

tl;dr: Shiny Hunting, Legendary Hunting, Candy Hunting, Pokédex completing, unlocking hidden abilities, egg voucher hunting, clout chasing. That’s it.

How Does Endless Work?

• Read the Wiki

Ideal Starting Team Composition

Note: you will not have the ability to make the perfect team starting out. But your progress will snowball. Do the best you can and know that every time you fail, you will be better prepared for next time. It may take you a few tries to really get a run going. Don't get discouraged.

Your Big Beater Carry
Invest heavily in 1 Pokémon for the first 2,000ish floors.

This list is not comprehensive. It is opinion. Please comment who is missing/miscategorized

• S-Tier: Kyogre, Groudon, Zacian, Miraidon, Koraidon, Latios/Latias
  
• A-Tier: Rayquaza, Hoopa, Calyrex, Guzzlord, Mewtwo, Regidrago, Reshiram, Kyurem
  
• B-Tier: Yveltal, Xerneas, Genesect, Zygarde, Dialga (got me through 2,500, but gets sluggish), Tinkaton (with passive ability)
  
• C-Tier (for the people without legendaries): Meditite, Ralts, Munchlax, Gastly, Fuecoco, Shellder, Teddiursa, Meowth(Technician)
  

For reference, I have 2 runs with big beaters at level 30,000+ while on floor 2,500. I am 20,000ish levels above the level cap and opposing Pokémon. This is through the power of Candy Jars and Rare Candies.

Something with Pokerus

• This is required for success. You don’t have to keep them for long. You may want to wait until there’s a good Pokémon with Pokerus before starting your run if you want to go further. Replace as needed once another Pokémon catches it.

Pokémon with Pickup and/or Payday/Make It Rain

• You might be able to find a pickup or payday Pokémon when you start, so not required, but if you have a shiny pickup Pokémon that will be helpful.
  
• You won’t need them after like floor ~1,000 once you have 3 berry pouches and lots of money.
  
• This does not have to be the same Pokémon.
  

As many shines as possible

• See Wiki regarding luck and shinies

Steel-Fairy
This is for Eternatus. Its moves cannot hit a steel-fairy type. You can easily defeat it and even use it to farm items. You may be able to catch one before floor 250.

• Zacian (with rusted sword item)
  
• Tinkaton - Can also get Covet. So draining Eternatus’s items becomes a breeze. This works well with a dragon big beater.
  
• Mawile
  
• Klefkey
  
• A fused Steel-Fairy Pokémon
  

Runaway Pokémon

• Don't need to bring this with you as they're pretty common throughout and it isn't needed until the late game.

Best Fusions & Late Game Team

See Wiki

Note: You may find a more optimal combo of moves/Pokémon to fit your playstyle. Below is a list of suggestions and things to consider. This Google Docs guide has info on who has what move and what biome they are available. See this post for other quality info on fusion team building.

Tinkaton & Kartana

• Fuse Tinkaton with unlocked passive ability "Huge Power" (1st) with Kartana (2nd)
  
• Moves: Magical Torque, Gigaton Hammer, Covet, Sword Dance
  
• Ability: Beast Boost, Passive = Huge Power
  
• This is a good big beater but will fall off as explained in that section
  

Metal Burst + Salt Cure Combo

• Fuse Garganacle (1st) + Archuladon or Aggron with Sturdy (2nd)
  
• Nature: Brave (+Atk/-Spd)
  
• Moves: Salt Cure, Metal Burst, Dragon Tail/Roar, Protect
  
• Items: Kings Rock, Soul Dew, Focus Sash, Leftovers, Reviver Seed.
  
• Ability: Sturdy
  
• How to use: Set up damage with Salt Cure. Use metal burst to retaliate damage (this is why speed should be 1). Use protect to get HP back up.
  

Staller

• This one is complex and will take multiple fusions.
  
• First Pokémon: Ghost type that learns Curse (e.g.: Gengar)
  
• Leech Seed & Soak - Fuse with Pokémon that learns leech seed (Gengar 1st, Leech seed Pokémon 2nd), then after teaching it, unfuse. Do the same with a Pokémon that learns Soak (Gengar 1st, Soak Pokémon 2nd)).
  
• Sturdy - Finally, fuse your unfused Gengar that knows Curse, Leach Seed, and Soak with a Pokémon that has the ability Sturdy (Gengar 1st, Sturdy Pokémon 2nd).
  
• Nature: Doesn't matter
  
• Items: Focus Sash, Leftovers, Reviver Seed
  
• Moves: Curse, Soak, Leech Seed, Protect.
  
• Ability: Sturdy
  
• How to use: Use curse, then soak, then leech seed and protect to stall.
  

Alternative Staller - Metal Burst, Protect, Salt Cure, Leech Seed

• Start with a high BASE HP Pokémon, e.g.: Blissey, Wobuffet, Guzzlord, Regidrago as the FIRST fusion.
  
• As explained above, fuse and unfuse it to learn Metal Burst, Salt Cure, and Leech Seed.
  
• Teach Protect via TM.
  

Prankster Support

• Prankster ability gives priority to a status move.
  
• Moves: Curse, Misty Terrain, Soak, Salt Cure, Leech Seed, any combo
  
• Getting curse, salt cure and leech seed onto any pokemon will kill them faster than they can heal.
  
• Alternatively, use Prankster Pokémon for ability negation via: Gastro Acid, Entrainment, or Skill Swap
  
• Example:
  

Shedinja

• Immune to Eternatus.
  
• Fuse it with a Dark type to only be killable via Fairy and hazards (First fusion = Fairy, 2nd = Shedinja)
  
• Or fuse with a Normal type to only be killable via Dark type moves
  
• False Swipe can help catch Pokémon in early game
  
• Moves: Will O Wisp, False Swipe, pre-fused moves as explained above: leech seed, soak, salt cure, psychic noise
  
• If you have a shiny Nincada, you can end up with 2 shinies on your team when it evolves.
  

Run Away

• Run Away ability - Lets you flee from battle, including tricky double-battles.
  
• Fuse with a shiny to maintain your luck and free up a slot.
  

Shinies

• Read the wiki regarding luck and shiny Pokémon
  
• Any extra slots in your team should be filled with shiny Pokémon. You can fuse shiny Pokémon to get maintain the same luck stat and get a slot back.
  

How to Beat Eternatus

• If your beater is not over-leveled enough to take it, you should use a steel-fairy type.
  
• Before floor 1,000, remember to REMOVE all healing items from your steel-fairy as Eternamax Eternatus has the "mini black-hole" item that steels items from you, including leftovers
  
• Teach your steel-fairy Covet to farm Dragon Fang items for your beater Pokémon. Easy to get max 99 Dragon Fangs by floor 1,501.
  
• Fuse your steel-fairy type with a Pokémon that knows Salt Cure or Curse to do easy chip damage. Just make sure to UNFUSE before the fight!
  

Game Stages

Early Game: Floors 1-2000ish

• Invest in your beater, get as many high-priority items as you can.
  
• If you don't have lock capsule by floor ~1,000 you should quit and start over.
  
• Your beater should be fully maxed out with all relevant items by floor 1,000.
  

Mid Game: Floors 2000-4000ish

• Traditional big beaters fall off unless you've pumped them full of rare candies and you're in the 20,000-40,000 level range.
  
• Transition your team to using a Staller as shown in the fusion section
  
• Get your runaway Pokémon, ideally shiny or fused with shiny.
  

Late Game: 4000+

• Run away until you find a shiny, legendary, or other Pokémon you want to catch
  
• Master Ball what you want to catch
  
• Re-roll to get your Master Ball back
  
• Repeat
  
• As of this writing, "Endless" ends at floor 5,850

^{v1.0.1 Last Updated: 2024-06-04}

TL;DR: 600-800€ new build, near France, MMO gaming, for 1366x768 60hz (or 1080p later), Lowest graphics, 2TB SSD, 32GB RAM, may run 2 games at once, wired, no monitor needed. Prefer: silent stealthy black case, some SATA ports and room for future HDDs, maybe built around a used RX 6600/580 video card.
Hello, while making this I rambled a lot in order to be "as specific as possible" and wrote many questions since I myself am unsure what to expect for what budget. I've stuck with the same potato PC and tunnel-visioned two games for a decade, WoW and LoL, so I've never experienced the modern standard for "acceptable" in metrics such as FPS for newer games, quality, resolution, quietness and storage. Perhaps it will be jarring to read, perhaps it breaks the monotony of robotic fast food requests, I don't know, that's why I wrote that TL;DR. The essay is just here if you need more context. Hopefully it helps. Either way I thank you for your time.
I'll highlight the most relevant information if you want to skim through. And I'll link pages to system requirements of each game, and PC parts I'm considering buying.
1. New build or upgrade?
New. Mine is beyond saving.
2. Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
Just my 1366x768p 60hz monitor for now.
More important to this list, I'm considering buying either one of these "refurbished" video cards from eBay, they both have a 1-year warranty, free shipping in four days straight from my country, and the seller has overwhelmingly positive reviews on hundreds of them. Do you think any of those is good deal? AMD RX 6600 Sapphire Pulse 8GB, 187€ https://www.ebay.fitm/134948507775 or AMD RX 580 Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB, 107€ https://www.ebay.fitm/134663065775 if 6600 is overkill. I read that 580 consumes more, but I'm clueless with math. How many hours would it take to make 580 more expensive than 6600 in the long run?
Right now, technically, I'm reusing my 1366x768 60hz monitor ViewSonic VA1913wm. It has a blue VGA port from an ancient civilization, will that be a problem or can I just find an adapter for it? But if possible I'd like to build around a future 1920x1080 monitor in case mine dies. Why I believe it may die [yapping]:in March it's been acting creepy for the first time in 14 years, making a whiny buzzing noise and flickering brightness like it's a horror game, intensified if I kept the brightness high. Somehow it stopped this behavior after one week but instead it's now stuck projecting the default high brightness, ignoring any value I select. Thankfully I can still lower the brightness a bit through the Windows 7 color calibration feature. So for now the monitor has been "tolerable" but definitely not normal. It's still better than having it too dim or flickering and noisy so I dare not mess with the settings again and damage it further.
Later, I'll probably reuse my current SATA SSD for extra storage. Samsung QVO 870 1TB. [yapping] It was an emergency QLC SSD that I bought solely because WoW became unplayable on my HDD in the November 2022 expansion. But now perhaps I could use use a faster SSD(?), and 2 terabytes since most of these games weigh above 100GB and I read it's bad to fill the whole drive. My 500GB HDD split in two partitions has always been the bane of my existence preventing me from trying other games. I'm keeping that SSD in my old PC for now for testing/troubleshooting/backup but I'll probably transfer it to my new build for extra storage once the old PC is no longer needed, it boots from the HDD anyway. Will I need to format that old SSD when transferring it or will I keep my data when I plug it into my new PC?
3. PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
(Grab a coffee) My main usage is gaming. Typically multiplayer with infinite play time, character customization and fashion, socializing hubs, healer classes, so usually MMORPGs.
List of games I definitely want to play + targeted FPS + play frequency:

• World of Warcraft The War Within. Goal: 30+ FPS in raids with Discord voice chat, Low settings. It's my current main game because it's all I can still run (barely). I typically do Heroic raids (15-30 players), Mythic+ dungeons (5), PVP arenas (3V3) and battlegrounds (10v10), only up until I get the limited-time cosmetics for the season then I go play games with more instant gratification like LoL, Skyrim, L4D2. But I hope that with acceptable FPS and fast loading screens I'll enjoy the game again and play it for fun.
• Final Fantasy XIV Online Dawntrail. I don't know my goals yet, I've only managed to complete the 1-50 leveling story quests of the free trial before they removed the DirectX 9 client in March so I couldn't any raid. It's competing to be my new main game thanks to the welcoming community, the housing, fashion, emotes and playable musical instruments.
• League of Legends. Goal: 60 FPS, Very Low. It's my second main game but nowadays I mostly play it out of sunk cost fallacy and Fear Of Missing Out (exactly like WoW) and less for fun, so mainly during limited-time events, no longer chasing ranks. [ranting] They nerfed my only character out of its role since 2015 (lane Nidalee), players are encouraged to mute others, and to blow 500 dollars within one month lest they live with a permanent hole in their favorite character's skin collection. Now you know why it took me a decade to upgrade.
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (2016). The GOAT. My PC can't run it but I often come back to original Skyrim (2011) for fun. It's not my main game since it's offline, hence why I'm very eager to try Elder Scrolls Online.
• World of Warcraft Classic Cataclysm. [ranting]You'd think it's redundant to mention this game since: I can run WoW Dragonflight which is visually 13 years more advanced, I ran the first build of the Classic Cataclysm beta in March, this PC physically has seen the original Cataclysm first release in 2010, and my GeForce 9800 GT literally is listed as the minimum GPU for GTA V (and 9800 GTX for BDO). However since the second beta build in March 2024, Classic Cataclysm requires a "3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support," whatever that is, just to launch the game. I bet it's because of the AI up-scaling garbage they added and the usual incompetent WoW Classic Team of 5 interns couldn't think of a way to make it optional for people who don't care about 4K.

Games I want at least to try even if I don't make them my permanent home due to some flaws (pay-to-win, incompetent publisher, dying population), so I just want to be able to run them at 1366x768 with playable FPS, and upgrade later if needed:

• The other known MMORPGs such as Elder Scrolls Online, Black Desert Online, New World, Guild Wars 2. Thankfully MMO is a dying genre, the "popular" ones are a decade old. And graphics can't get more realistic than reality, so eventually my hardware will catch up.
• Grand Theft Auto V Online/FiveM. [yapping] Yes, I've heard the horror stories of rock$tar allowing cheaters to grief, ban, dox and DDOS innocents in every PC public lobbies. So I no longer expect the same welcoming social experience I got in MMORPGs. But the rag doll physics and fashion in GTA have potential for fun. I'm curious to see the chaos for myself, like the missionary who went to Sentinel Island and got skewered by the local tribe. Perhaps there's fun to be found in their Discord community or a private sever in the FiveM client.
• Maybe Sea of Thieves. Maybe Rocket League (60 FPS) if they add a 2V2 solo queue without pre-made parties one day I might reinstall it.

I can't really say what's my "comfortable" frame rate for every game since Windows 7 or my hardware is now physically unable to launch most games (FFXIV, Cataclysm Classic, LoL, ESO, GTA V), let alone play them at 30+ FPS. It's hard for a neanderthal to comprehend what racing car they'd like if their only transportation ever has been a donkey. If my budget happens to be more than enough for 768p60, then perfect, that will allow me to invest more in safety and multitasking, or encourage me to upgrade my monitor or increase eye candy. In the end 1080p isn't an absolute necessity, I had only considered it because my current monitor was acting up. It simply would help to read text better, place more UI on my screen, and share prettier screenshots. But frame rate and multitasking convenience come first.
To give you an idea of how much garbage quality I was able to endure: in WoW [yapping] I currently average at 15 FPS in dungeons (5 players) 10 FPS in raids (25 players), all that at 33% render scale (so effectively 453x256 resolution), down to negative FPS with Discord open. It was painful but still enough to earn the main limited-time end-game rewards every season (Elite PVP set and Mythic+ dungeon portals). I've haven't seen a stable 60 FPS in years, outside of chill solo questing in old areas. So I reckon I'll be okay with at least 30+ FPS in raids and 40-60 in smaller group content, with only Projected Textures enabled and Particle Density on Good+ to dodge boss abilities easier.
I want to sometimes run two games at once, hence why I'm aiming for at least 32 GB RAM despite most MMO games requiring 8-16. Obviously I don't expect optimal performances when running two games at once. The reasoning is that those games rely a lot on doing nothing, waiting for queues, rare spawns, auto-play, and looking up guides on a web browser.
I also use Discord often when raiding, it currently uses a ton of my tiny processor. I'd also like the ability to use a soundboard and voice changer in voice chat in the future, without subscribing to Nitro. But I'm unsure if that requires specific hardware; I had a guild mate randomly playing memes like "I am under the water" at good audio quality during raids in 2020 and it was hilarious, he told me I need a sound card(?) for it, whatever that is, so perhaps I'll need a space for that on the motherboard for that unless there is a simple soundboard software nowadays that does this without sounding like it comes from my cheap microphone while my PC fans make noise. Feel free to tell me if you know an alternative to Nitro.
Second daily use: downloading past livestream broadcasts. No crazy hardware involved, just a lot of network and temporary disk writings. The most "editing" I do is just sometimes trimming with LosslessCut. Nerdy breakdown if you're interested: I'd first download a temporary 160p30 version of the broadcast on an internal HDD with either with TwitchLeecher-DX to preview the desired segments fast with VLC, or with TwitchRecover to load the thumbnail of each 10-second chunk with Windows Explorer. Then on an external HDD I'd download the segments that I want in 1080p60 quality with the Simple Mass Downloader browser extension and delete the temporary 160p files.
I also watch YouTube in a minimized PotPlayer window, it takes far less processor and memory than a browser, but it sometimes downloads a kind of "cache" of the video or something to the Temp folder while playing it, and I don't know how to avoid that, meaning more frequent disk writings. All this yapping to say it's always handy to have SATA ports for internal HDDs, even just 1TB, so I don't waste these daily 1-2 GB of temporary writings on a SSD. Although I've heard nowadays SSDs are more durable (I just don't know to what extent) so I can worry about adding a HDD later. At least I still have my old SATA SSD I can transfer.
4. Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
France or near.
People recommend buying from Germany or Spain (amazon.de or amazon.es) so I'm willing to try that. Though I'm unfamiliar on how efficient that is, due to delivery times/fees, and maybe customer support. I'd prefer ordering as soon as possible since there is a grinding limited-time event in FFXIV ending on June 24th.
This website can be used to compare prices between websites or countries. https://dropreference.com/fhome
I rarely shop online. I know some websites for used hardware in France are Leboncoin, Rakuten, eBay. New: Amazon.fr, Fnac, Darty, LDLC, Cdiscount, Topachat. If you can't be bothered optimizing the price and looking in both countries (since it does sound painful), feel free to mention trustworthy German websites so I don't get lost struggling to create accounts in another language and giving my payment information to shady places.
5. Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
No. I'll re-use mine for now.
6. Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
600-800€. I believe France includes VAT in prices.
After simulating a price estimation on PCpartpicker with random cheap parts + the refurbished RX 580, no HDD, no cooler, it seems I'll need at least 600€ due to the expensive 2TB SSD and 32GB RAM. 800€ isn't an absolute maximum, but it's what I paid for my old pre-built PC with a OS license in 2009 and it lasted me a long time (albeit a miserable time), so I'm eager to see to see what that gets me nowadays. Plus it stings to pay a lot for a dying game genre because companies whom I hate force me to upgrade.
The leftover budget perhaps could be spent on: more protection on the power supply so it doesn't damage my storage drives after a power outage, if that is even how it works (and how much would such safety cost?). It's rare but inevitably happens randomly a few times a year, perhaps during bad weather.

Enough processor to run two games at once or other programs while gaming Maybe pick the refurbished RX 6600 for eye candy/future games/power saving.

7. WiFi or wired connection?
Wired.
8. Size/noise constraints?
Noise: preferably silent, but again, as a 2009 animal, I have no clue how controllable noise is. My PC, with only four fans in it (1 blowing out hot air to the back, 1 power supply, 1 processor stock cooler, 1 video card) has always sounded as if someone in the room next to me were blow-drying their hair or vacuum cleaning, so I've never heard what's the standard for "low noise" and how much silence costs, so if it costs a lot more, feel free to suggest several fan models. Of course I'll appreciate if it's silent just because I can hear my PC fans when I occasionally record song covers for fun, but besides that they haven't bothered me because it's not an annoying noise like coil whine, which is a sound I've only learned about recently while reading a review of a RX 6600 PowerFighter video card, I do hope not to hear that. I'm a gamer first so I prioritize cooling.
Size: no constraint, preferably enough to mount a couple HDDs, so better too big than too small.
9. Cololighting preferences?
Preferably: a basic black case, emitting as little visible light as possible in the dark. While it's heartbreaking since I love pink cases and pretty lights, I must blame it on biology; I currently use Cooler Master Elite 341 MicroATX Mid Tower Case and its darkness is the meta because it doesn't reflect light into my weak vampire gamer eyes. It's slightly behind my monitor so I have vision on a third of the side panel all the time.
I'd prefer no window, again regrettable because it's cool to monitor inside the case at a glance, but I fear I'll get blinded by whatever LED lingers inside of it.
I know humans aren't supposed to look at monitors in the dark but that's what works for me. Well lit rooms somehow tire me more, even at school. But here I've referred to myself as many things, human is not one of them. Perhaps I could work around this by placing something DIY in front light sources. So prioritize whatever case and fan has better cooling.
10. Any other specific needs?
Some questions: I've been torn on the debate about the two popular budget processors AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Core i3-12100F. I read that the 4 cores of 12100 are usually better at running a single game than the 6 cores of 3600 (which somehow is astronomically beloved by the PCpartpicker community). However I'll often have another program open such as Discord voice chat, YouTube on PotPlayer, a Chromium browser, watching Twitcth, or even a second game (low quality), so I can't just take the bare minimum for one game. Is that enough multi-tasking to warrant going for 6 cores? Are both of these processors overkill or too weak anyway? I'm just scared because I've only lived with 2 cores and just having the (terribly buggy) idle League of Legends launcher or Discord voice chat open cuts my performances by a lot. So as an ignorant normie who doesn't comprehend the other metrics such as GHz and threads, a 4-core processor doesn't look like a big jump after 14 years, though I could see it be just fine for users who run one game and no other program.
Here's my current system, if an archaeologist is curious what depth of Hell I come from. It was a pre-built PC I ordered for WoW and Aion at a small local tech store for Christmas 2009, for I believe about 800€: OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (they initially gave me 32bit, at least it was a legit license) CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 240. Thermal paste: Cooler Master IC Essential E1 (first and last replaced in 2014, yeah I really neglected it to be fair, I kept coping "I'll upgrade soon anyway") GPU: nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Motherboard: M4A78-VM (AM2) (2 RAM ports, max 8GB) RAM: 4GB Single-Channel DDR2 @ 401MHz (6-6-6-18) (overprice 80€ replacement from 2015 another overprice DIMM that only lasted a few months, hence why I lost trust in hardware sellers, I don't even know the even a brand name, initially I got 2+1GB Kingston that died after 4 years), HDD: 465GB Seagate ST3500410SV ATA Device (I'm so proud it's still alive) SSD: Samsung 870 QVO 1TB ATA Device (from 2022) PSU: PC ATX LITEON PE-6301-08AP 300W? (cheap replacement from a tech friend when mine broke around 2018). Monitor VA1913wm-4 (1360x768@60Hz)

1. What is Flexbox?

Understanding Flexbox: Flexbox is a powerful CSS layout model that simplifies the creation of complex designs. It allows for the control of alignment, direction, order, and size of elements within a container, revolutionizing CSS for modern web design.
Flex Container and Flex Items: A flex container is an HTML element with a display value of either flex or inline-flex. Its immediate children become flex items, whose layout is managed using properties specific to the container.
Key Flexbox Properties:
Properties for the Parent (Flex Container):

• display: Defines a flex container (flex or inline-flex).
• flex-direction: Sets the direction of the main axis (row, row-reverse, column, column-reverse).
• flex-wrap: Controls whether items are forced onto one line or can wrap onto multiple lines (nowrap, wrap, wrap-reverse).
• flex-flow: Shorthand for flex-direction and flex-wrap.
• justify-content: Aligns items along the main axis (flex-start, flex-end, center, space-between, space-around, space-evenly).
• align-items: Aligns items along the cross axis (stretch, flex-start, flex-end, center, baseline).
• align-content: Aligns the container’s lines when there is extra space on the cross-axis (stretch, flex-start, flex-end, center, space-between, space-around).

Properties for the Children (Flex Items):

• order: Specifies the order of a flex item.
• flex-grow: Specifies how much a flex item will grow relative to the rest.
• flex-shrink: Specifies how much a flex item will shrink relative to the rest.
• flex-basis: Specifies the initial size of a flex item.
• flex: Shorthand for flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis.
• align-self: Overrides the align-items value for individual flex items (auto, flex-start, flex-end, center, baseline, stretch).

2. Dealing with Cross-Browser Compatibility

Flexbox is well-supported across modern browsers, but there are a few issues with older versions. For example, IE9 does not support Flexbox, and IE10 supports an older version. Safari was the last major browser to remove prefixes in Safari 9 (2015).
Vendor Prefixes: To ensure compatibility, use vendor prefixes along with the unprefixed version:

.foo { display: -webkit-box; display: -moz-box; display: -ms-flexbox; display: -webkit-flex; display: flex; -webkit-box-orient: horizontal; -moz-box-orient: horizontal; -webkit-box-direction: normal; -moz-box-direction: normal; -webkit-flex-direction: row; -ms-flex-direction: row; flex-direction: row; } 

Resources for Cross-Browser Compatibility:

• Flexbugs: A site listing common Flexbox issues and their fixes.
• LambdaTest
• Mozilla Developer Network (MDN)
• Stack Overflow

3. Handling Flex Basis and Min-Width Conflicts

The flex-basis property sets the initial main size of a flex item. It respects any min-width or min-height settings, which can sometimes cause conflicts.
Example:

.item { flex-basis: 0; min-width: 100px; } 

In this example, even though flex-basis is set to 0, the item will not shrink below the min-width value of 100px.

4. Advanced Flexbox Tips

Step-by-Step Examples:
Setting Up a Flex Container:

.container { display: flex; } 

Understanding Flex Direction:

.container { flex-direction: column; } 

Justifying Content:

.container { justify-content: space-between; } 

Aligning Items:

.container { align-items: center; } 

Flex Wrap:

.container { flex-wrap: wrap; } 

Flex Shorthand:

.item { flex: 1 0 auto; } 

Order:

.item { order: 1; } 

Flex-Grow and Flex-Shrink:

.item { flex-grow: 1; flex-shrink: 2; } 

Flex-Basis:

.item { flex-basis: 20%; } 

Align-Self:

.item { align-self: flex-start; } 

Flex-Flow:

.container { flex-flow: row wrap; } 

Using calc() with Flexbox:

.item { flex: 1 0 calc(25% - 20px); } 

Nested Flex Containers:

.container { display: flex; } .container .item { display: flex; } 

Using Flexbox with Media Queries:

.container { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } u/media (max-width: 600px) { .container { flex-direction: column; } } 

5. Dos and Don’ts When Working with Flexbox

Dos:

• Use Flexbox for small-scale layouts like navigation bars, headers, and footers.
• Utilize flex: 1 to make an item flexible.
• Use flex-wrap: wrap for multi-line flex containers.
• Apply align-items, justify-content, and align-content for aligning flex items.
• Use order to rearrange items without changing HTML structure.

Don’ts:

• Avoid using Flexbox for large-scale layouts; use CSS Grid instead.
• Don’t forget about browser compatibility; test in multiple browsers.
• Avoid using float, clear, and vertical-align within Flexbox containers.
• Don’t forget to use vendor prefixes if necessary.
• Don’t ignore the flex-shrink property, which can lead to unexpected results.

Wade walked in front of his teammates as they all walked down the short hallway, checking for any hiding hostiles as they slowly scouted the next area of the laboratory. At his side, Tina held her pistol low as she kept her guard up, bracing for an imminent attack while walking alongside Wade. Aiming her rifle, Vasquez looked across the hall, not lowering it even when she saw no hostiles ahead. Duncan kept a grenade in one hand and a kinetic pistol in the other, preparing to throw the former in order to scare out potential ambushers.
The entrance outside the tower was, surprisingly, not as heavily guarded as presumed, only being protected by several human and drone defenders, along with only two sentinels.. After clearing the entrance bay, the group came across three elevators at the other end of the large room. Despite asking J for help, she stated that the facility was highly secretive with it's layout, only allowing those stationed at the tower to know where was where around the place.
Taking a gamble, as well as being extremely eager to end Halloway's life sooner than later, Wade and F's team chose the middle one, which brought them up close to the top of the tower. Disembarking the elevator, the group hoped to find important information related to the Solver Project within the rooms on this floor, but first they had to ensure the area was secure before beginning their data raid.
As Wade and F kept their weapons trained ahead of themselves, Kelly walked right behind the two drones, holding her fancy-looking toolkit at her side with one hand and a kinetic pistol in the other. Looking to the doors at the sides of the hall, Wade saw that the hall branched into a few smaller paths on each side, leading to a door at the end of each one.
Raising a hand to stop the groups advance, Wade commented on the side doors. "Guys? You think we should check these rooms? Maybe there could be something here for us to snag."
F nodded in agreement before pointing at the door to her right. "You check that one. Be wary of our team, you and I are their main lifeline here."
"Don't worry F, we'll do just fine. Go see what these eggheads are hiding." Kurtis replied to the warrior drone, F glancing to him before nodding in understanding.
The two disassembly drones walked to the two doors between the assault team, Wade keeping his shotgun at the ready as he glanced at the door. It looked to be a simple slide door, having no control panel to enter a code on. Assuming it was probably minor items and the like, Wade sighed as the door opened, revealing an even less interesting sight. Against the wall was a large, box shaped device of some sort, cyan blue LED lines wrapping the sides of it. Noticing the electrical box at the wall to his right, Wade deduced it was some kind of power generator.
Shutting the door, Wade brought his dissatisfied gaze to his friends. "Seems to be just some kind of power generator, nothing special."
"Same here." F replied as she shut her own door, having found a similar object within the room as she continued speaking. "I'm thinking we just stumbled upon some sort of energy complex, we should probably head back and continue upward."
"Yes, maybe we should..." Alvaro replied in partial Spanish, moving forward past the team as he spotted something sticking out slightly down at one of the door halls ahead. Getting close, he saw it appeared to be the foot of a worker drone, certainly hiding from the approaching raid team. Quietly, the soldier snuck up on the drone before swiping around the corner wall, grabbing onto the cowering drone by their arm as they began to panic. Holding his gun to the drone's head, Alvaro shushed the terrified bot as they began to beg for mercy.
"Please! Don't hurt me, I'm just a maintenance drone!" The male drone pleaded in hushed fear as Alvaro replied to him.
"Oh, don't worry, I ain't gonna bop ya." Pulling the drone over to the team, Wade and F walked back to the group as they witnessed the hiding servant of the Administrator.
The drone gasped in terror upon seeing Wade's form. "Agh! D-Disassembly drones?! Two of 'em?!"
Tina scoffed at the drone's fear as she conferred with the drone. "Oh please, don't judge by his looks. My dear Wade's a sweetie bear, you'll be fine."
Wade nodded as he grew a comforting smile, which changed to a stern face as he spoke to the cowering drone. "Yeah, I'm not gonna hurt you... IF you tell us what this place is."
"We're here looking for data on the Solver Project before heading to the Administrator's Lab to detain her and her overseers. Can you tell us where to go?" F explained as the drone seemed to take a calming breath, eased by the mostly friendly lot he was facing.
"Okay, okay uh, yeah. There's an archive past this door over here." The drone stated as he led the team to the door at the end of the hall, Wade and F keeping watch for potential sneak attacks as the drone glanced at the control panel. "I think it's one of the higher level ones, unless you got a really good hacker or an acceptable ID, we're not getting in."
Kelly chuckled in amusement as she replied to the slave drone's challenge. "Well, must be our lucky day. I've taken a hand at picks like these." Getting down on one knee, Kelly opened her toolbox as she began to start her hacking attempt. "Just keep my behind from getting scorched."
"No problem, Kelly." Wade acknowledged with a nod as he held his shotgun up, F doing the same with her weapon as the two kept watch for hostiles.
After what couldn't have been more than a minute of pulling screws, screen tapping, and beeps of affirmation, the control panel finally yielded to the assault team's request to enter.
Once she re-attached the panel to its slot, Kelly held her hand over it while looking to her teammates. "Alright, I got the locks off. Gimme the word and I'll open her right up."
"Good to hear that, Kelly. On my mark." Wade replied before holding his shotgun at the ready, F holding her own laser cannon steady after him as she glanced to her team. Motioning her head back, F signaled her team to stand clear.
While they did so, Tina walked behind Wade with a sly smirk. "Wade, mind if I mount up?"
Wade returned the expression as he nodded, Tina climbing onto his back before pulling out her own pistol in preparation for combat. Looking to Kelly, he nodded to her, the technician pressing her hand against the panel before the doors opened.
Flying into the room ahead of F, Wade made a brief sweep of the room as he fired at the closest target. The large room consisted of several tall metal shelves, reaching up to the ceiling. Against the shelves were heightened walkways, which could be accessed by sloped sections of the floor between the doors. The height of the wall paths went up only by a few feet, the ceiling being, by Wade's guess, perhaps over almost two dozen feet. Finally, a large glass window occupied the wall opposite to the hallway, the light outside shining into the huge room.
As for enemies, Wade took a shot at one of several worker drone guards, who took aim at him as he gunned down their comrade in a visceral pool of oil. Along with the slave drones, Wade saw a single sentinel in the middle of the room, the robo-saur screeching at them as it began to sprint at the two killer drones. Tina covered Wade's flank with several shots of hot blue energy, hitting three of the hostile workers as they fell to the floor, visors glowing with red caution symbols before flickering out. Swapping out for a sub-machine gun, Wade gunned down the remaining four workers as F held off the sentinel, her laser slicing off the beast's tail as it tried to boot-loop her.
Seeing the light fail to work on the disassembly drone, the dino-bot roared again, only to scramble wildly as Wade mounted it, trying to pull off the same move he did at the factory. Readying a chainsaw, Wade cut at the sentinel's neck, sparks and oil spraying everywhere before the head snapped off from the attack. Flapping his wings, Wade hovered in the air once more as the corpse of the sentinel collapsed to the floor, more oil spilling out as the body lay still.
"Splendid kill, I'd say!" Duncan stated in admiration as he and the other troops walked in, each scanning the room as Wade and F flew back down to Kelly.
Walking alongside the technician, Wade swapped for a sword as he spoke to Kelly. "Okay, where do you think we should start?"
"Good question. Hey, worker buddy, ya know where we can get our intel?" Kelly asked the slave drone as he looked to her attentively.
"Uh, I think there should be two control stations we can access over here. Follow me!" The drone answered, pointing ahead to the middle of the room before beginning to jog over there. Flying ahead of the drone, Wade and F hovered above the center area while they looked around, holding their guns down as they spotted no hostile forces nearby. Once the group approached them, the two guardian drones set down on the opposite end of one of the large consoles while the maintenance drone examined it.
The consoles were of a circular shape, four built-in computers docked on rectangular arms sticking out around the machine. looking at it, Wade glanced to Kelly as he asked the servant drone. "You think Kelly here will have to crack these open?"
The drone nodded in affirmation as the woman in question came over, kneeling while setting down her toolkit. "Just like before, give me some cover and we'll be outta here in a pinch."
Raising a hand, Nathan spoke up on their efforts. "You think we should spread out? Maybe take positions behind those big wall shelves?"
Wade looked to the archive's entrance, debating on the idea before coming to a decision. "Sure, some of us can take position there. I'd like at least a few around Kel, though. We can't lose her."
"Gotcha, Wade. I'll help with close cover." Nathan replied as he held his gun firm at the entrance, Tina hopping off of Wade's back before walking up to the table. Kurtis, Gerard, and a few other troopers began moving towards the wall slopes leading up to the walkways at the sides of the room.
"Um, Kelly? Do you think we can look through this computer while you're working?" Tina asked her human friend as she gave a nod of approval.
"Sure, just lemme crack the locks off first. Just a bit longer now..." Standing together, Wade and Tina watched as Kelly did her work, the table's monitors flickering out for a few moments before coming back on. Glancing to the drone couple, Kelly spoke to them further. "Alright, dig in all you'd like. I'm gonna get this download started."
Nodding to the technician, Wade observed the screen with Tina, the former putting his hands onto the keyboard section as he pondered where to start their curious browsing trip. Scanning through countless folders, Wade saw the names of a select few relating to the Solver Project. "INSTALLATION 0XLV426, Plat-Binary System; INSTALLATION RSCH012, Copper System (Defunct); INSTALLATION 01NU26I, Proxima System"
Tina put a hand close to her mouth as she looked at the files Wade was hovering the mouse over. "Proxima, Plat-Binary... They have MORE installations in other systems!"
Wade sighed in frustration as he examined the names carefully. "Great, so she's probably gonna run for these hideouts later on."
Kelly raised a finger to counter Wade's worrisome assumption. "I don't think so, our ships outside should be jamming whatever signals they try to send out. So unless they scrambled some kind of fancy thingamajig in these labs, that Admin-gal ain't got a place to hide but here."
"I hope so." Wade replied as he continued looking over the data folders for a moment longer, Tina putting a hand on his own before she spoke to him.
"That one says 'defunct', open that one." Wade fulfilled his lover's request as he clicked on the desired file, several more appearing in place of the hundreds of folders previously onscreen not a second ago. Looking through the titles of each file, Wade clicked on the first one, intent on discovering more about what Halloway and his people were doing on that ill-fated colony.
Several lines of text filled the screen, the two lover drones reading through it as Nathan turned to join in their search. "STATUS REPORT 120547; Date: Sept. 27, 3044; INSTALLATION No: RSCH012; Planet: Copper 9, Copper System; The research team lead by Dr. Ridley on the 9th exoplanet of the Copper system has successfully commenced operations on the new facility there. They are charged with working to understand the 'virus' as they call it, curious of its capabilities and how to keep it under their control. Due to the... sensitivity of the Solver, and its danger to those that dare challenge it, I shall begin monitoring this team closely to ensure they do not antagonize it."
Exiting out of the file, Wade selected another. "STATUS REPORT 129402; Date: Jan. 04, 3046; INSTALLATION No: RSCH012; Planet: Copper 9, Copper System; Recent reports from the team at the laboratory, now christened 'Cabin Fever' by the very... quirky scientists there, have proven my long presumed suspicions correct: They are attempting to find a way to tame the Solver. The lab has several worker drones used in their experiments, corrupted with the Solver string that inhabits my own being. I will bring forth my concerns with the 'virus', and convince Dr. Ridley to take immense care in her duties whilst developing her 'cure'."
Wade gasped silently as he read through the report, Tina wrapping her arm around Wade's as he exited the second file. Scrolling down a little, Wade clicked one more file before reading it, his and Tina's faces reeling in quiet horror as they read Cyn's commentary.
"STATUS REPORT 133017; Date: Mar. 12, 3047; INSTALLATION No: RSCH012; Planet: Copper 9, Copper System; The worst has befallen the colony of Copper 9. Due to the inept care demonstrated by Dr. Ridley, the recent-and final-experiment of the Cabin Fever facility has resulted in the partial collapse of the exoplanet's core. Such destruction has completely purged the colony of all organic life, while surprisingly leaving most artificial life, such as the worker drones, intact. Due to the immense danger the experimental drones present to not just Copper 9, but all other worlds, they cannot be allowed to persist. I shall prepare a... materials team for transport to the colony to begin recovery efforts."
Staring at the report, Wade and Tina took in this horrific truth Cyn had hidden all these years with mournful expressions, Nathan looking over the screen further as he broke the silence. "So, the Copper 9 incident, the core collapse... It was their fault?"
"It would seem so." Vasquez said aloud as she joined the three drones, already observing the report about the colony's core implosion as she continued. "Official reports from just about every news source claimed that it was due to improper mining precautions, but, from all the craziest mining accidents I've seen... Copper 9 is quite the outlier for how extreme it was."
Tina took a deep breath as she steadied her mind over the files she and Wade had just read. "And yet, this 'Solver' thing.... they still kept it in service? After the loss of an entire colony?!" Glaring at the computer, Tina finished her furious spew. "This is ludicrous. Even if things have stayed calm up to this point, how do we know such a fuse won't spark again? Earth, Proxima, Plat-Binary... There's so many people that could be threatened by whatever this virus is!"
Wade nodded as he shared Tina's sentiment. "I've got a really bad feeling about this whole thing, we should get our data and then haul our asses to that lab upstairs!"
"Agreed. Fixer drone, you know the way there?" F asked the slave drone below her, who had been hearing in on the discussion about the lost colony as he answered the friendly murder drone.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I think I did some work up there. You should be able to reach it at the top floor back at th-"
"Hostiles!" F stated, alerting both her targets and teammates as Wade, Tina and Nathan turned to see the arriving foes. The maintenance drone cowered next to Kelly as his vision was locked on the defense squad: In front of five disassembly drones was a single human male, holding what looked like an assault rifle in his arms, as well as bearing a small sidearm at his right hip. Wade growled in low fury as he saw Hawk and his cohorts, the disassembly squad he was awoken with back at the factory: E, D, H, L and an... uncomfortably familiar face, particularly to Wade and Tina.
"So, that's the evil double you were telling me about?" W asked his superior, Darren nodding lightly as he and the drone squad stared down at the intruding assault team.
"You!" Wade growled as he readied a shotgun, the five corporate guards holding their own weapons at the ready as Darren gave a confident smirk of triumph at him.
"Yes, Mr. Carter. Good to see you made it out of that place, if only you weren't still in league with those terrorists next to you." The team coordinator replied to Wade's angry face, Tina seeming to cower behind his back as she took care to dig into her pocket without being caught.
"I don't think so, they're not the ones who got people killed with all this kerfuffle in the past few days." F retorted with a lighter glare at Hawk as he sighed in understanding.
In the midst of the chatter, Tina slid out her smartcomm, tapping a button to lower the volume of the device's speakers before tapping the screen a few times, trying to call her sister. It was a crazy idea, but with how desperate she and her friends now were, there wasn't much else they could do.
After almost nearing the end of the call duration, the vibrating ceased as the call went through. "Jasmine? Are you there?" Tina whispered behind Wade's wings.
"Yeah sis, is everything alright in there?" Jasmine replied, taking notice of her sister's quiet demeanor.
"Was, we're in a really bad pickle at the moment. In the higher area of the tower, back side, near one of the external windows. Is there anyway you can get us some help in here?" Then, glancing in the direction of the new arrivals, Tina whispered further. "We've got DDs!"
Jasmine was silent for a second, but quickly gave her reassurance as she seemed to think of an idea. "Hang in there, Tina. I'll have them brought to you quick. Jasmine out." With that, the call ended, prompting Tina to return her device to its pocket.
Raising his arm accusingly at Hawk, Wade spoke to his trapper. "AND it's because of you and your boss that Tina and I are in this mess! You and your pet G got my brother killed!"
Shaking his head, Darren responded to the former worker drone. "Well, Mr. Carter, I must admit one thing: Your 'brother' was a very caring man. Clearly with how devoted he was to you." Then, with a sigh, Hawk returned his words to the matter before him. "But, again, his loss won't be in vain. Not for us. Now, I'm only gonna ask this one last time: Stand down, come back with us... Or you can deal with your former squad-mates until they cut you down."
In stubborn defiance, Wade slowly shook his head to the team leader. "I'd rather die as who I am than help you and that Cyn bitch hide the truth in this place."
Raising an eyebrow in slight surprise, Darren acknowledged Wade's answer. "So, you looked into the Administrator's files?" Shaking his head again, Hawk spoke once more. "...Then you really can't be allowed to leave here."
Taking Hawk's motioning head to his sight, W took aim at Wade with a missile launcher, firing a single rocket at the former worker drone before it was stopped by F, who grabbed it with her claws before swinging it back at Darren's team with immense force. Seeing the speeding projectile of death approaching rapidly, E got in front of Darren, taking the hit with her wings and a grunt. The room quickly fell into disarray as several hails of bullets and energy bolts came from the sides of the room, D and L shielding themselves from the attacks as Darren gave his orders to them.
"D, L, clear out the room, the rest of you, deal with the traitors first!" The killer drones complied without words as the two began to sweep the upper walkways, firing their own sub-machine guns down the long walkway as several human and drone troopers cried out from fatal strikes. E and H flew at F, the hardened soldier roaring furiously as she clashed her newly formed blades with her opponents', keeping them away from Kelly as she continued tinkering with the computer during its download.
As for W, he came after Wade, Tina pulling out her pistol while Wade held his fresh swords against his clone's. Wade grit his teeth as he pushed back W, the two clashing swords for a long moment in constant attempts to cut each other down. As he clashed one sword with both of W's, Wade readied his shotgun with his free hand, W trying to copy the same attack before Tina shot at his face with her pistol. As W shut his eyes from the shocking strike at his form, Wade shot at W, blasting a chunk of the disassembly drone's side off before he fired again, this time shooting the chest where the core was.
As W fell to the ground, seemingly dead, Wade looked to F, who was struggling to hold off her two opponents as they began to overpower her. Flying over, Wade shot at H with his weapon, blasting the murder drone right in the head as he fell to the floor. With only one enemy to worry about, F focused her efforts onto E. "Wade, help the troopers! I've got the others here!"
Wade obeyed somewhat reluctantly as he flew over to his left, heading to where L was occupied before taking aim at the murder drone. L was just finishing off one of three pairs of troopers hiding behind the large shelfs against the walkways when he was struck by a hot beam of energy, grunting as he looked up to see Wade aiming at him with his laser cannon. Deciding to deal with the bigger threat first, L flew at Wade, who swiftly readied a pair of swords before blocking L's claw hands in a deadlock. Intent on buying her boyfriend another chance to strike easily, Tina took aim with her pistol, firing at L's face again as he backed off, keeping a distance from Wade as he tried to avoid another quick death.
Gerard positioned himself into a crouch as he held his weapon at D, who had just cut down the troops at the second pair of shelves on the right end of the room. As she flew at him and his drone ally, Gerard shot at D with his rifle, the drone blocking most of the bullets with her sword as she cut down the worker drone ahead of Gerard. Falling back, D pounced on him, stabbing the ground with her sword arm before swinging her tail down on the man. Dodging the nanite tank by just inches, Gerard spat at D, spraying her face with his mouth fluids.
"EEK!" D cried out in grossed out shock as she got off of Gerard, who grabbed his assault rifle to continue striking at D. The disassembly drone made a quick recovery, however, blocking the shots with her wing before she yelled at him in frustration. "You're nasty! I'm gonna get you!"
Pursuing their opponent, Wade flew back into the center area after L, trying to continue their fight before spotting D preparing to attack Gerard. Leaving L to flee away from him, Wade shot at D with his laser gun, the beam scorching her right on her behind as she cried out again. The disassembly drone seemed to grow tired of the assault as she broke off, trying to hide herself under her wings while moving back slowly.
Wade swapped his laser gun out for a sword, intent on putting D down for good before his attention was drawn away by Tina. "Wade, watch out!"
He was too late as he was slashed at by W, who had recovered from Wade's vicious attack before continuing to fight him. Wade cried out in pain as his arm was sliced off, then felt the cool air in his robo-lungs leave him as he was kicked back against the wall where he came after L at. Not a second after hitting the wall, W flew at him, impaling both Wade and Tina against the wall as they both gasped from the pain, the latter coughing up oil from the quick stab into her chest.
W laughed sinisterly as he looked to the couple with a toothy grin. "Well, the boss was right. You are a rough blemish to scratch off." Stabbing Wade's other arm with his nanite tail, W's wide smile shrunk as he continued speaking to the two drones. "Well, that's a real shame. You and your friend there would've made quite the drones for the Division."
Coughing up more black drone blood from her mouth, Tina croaked out to her and Wade's opponent. "I-If, If you're going to kill us... At least take us both out together. It's h-how we, prefer it."
W seemed to give a sympathetic nod as he responded to the pilot drone. "Ah, yeah. I should. You've both at least earned that much." He laughed lightly as he thought on the idea, then stopped as he eyed Tina, recognizing something he shouldn't have. "Come to think of it, you sound familiar, Miss."
The three drones' gaze was snatched by the loud sound of glass breaking, Wade, Tina and W seeing the large window at the end of the archive broken into many shards. From outside, three more new arrivals flew into the room: a trio of female disassembly drones, all with blades and guns deployed as the middle one spoke out amongst her team. "K, M, let's give these people a hand!"
"Okay!" Said one of the drones, the other not saying a word as they all moved to the sides of the room.
Looking back to the distracted W, Wade struck his face with his tail, the clone's visor cracking from the attack as he yelped in agony. Without any hesitation, Wade readied a claw hand before grabbing W, pulling him close before biting into his neck. Seeing her partner's clone trying to perform a similar attack, Tina grabbed onto the approaching nanite tank, keeping it from hitting her darling's head as he fed off his evil double.
Once he was finished, Wade threw the weakened W to the floor, the injured drone crawling back as Wade's damaged arm regenerated. As Wade readied a shotgun, W gazed at him and Tina, gazing at the latter as he seemed to remember one of his locked memories of this girl. "...Wait, aren't you... do I know yo-"
"You are NOT my boyfriend!" Tina answered angrily, W looking on in shock as Wade took aim. Wade's clone was put down with a few blasts of buckshot, ripping the body and core of W into scrap.
As W met his demise, F, now having put Nathan to her back, was busy holding off E and H, the latter having recovered from his injury as the three clashed blades. Hovering over the two data consoles in another locking of swords, F glanced between the two as one of the new arrivals from outside flew at H, trying to strike him down with her own swords. The attack took one of H's arms off, the murder drone backing off of F as he tried to defend himself against the newcomer. Now only having to deal with E, F kept her guarding sword up against her rival, readying a sub-machine gun with her other hand as she prepared to shoot.
E grinned mischievously as she taunted her enemy. "Heh, you're serving under the army, I see? They're pathetic compared to us, traitor."
Nathan growled as he held out one of his pistols, shooting at the arrogant drone as she backed off of his crush. Smirking at her partner as well as at her decision to follow Wade's example, F fired her sub-machine gun at the exposed E as she replied to her fellow murder drone. "Let me and Mr. Nathan here show you who's the pathetic one, scraphead!"
Before she could continue her fight with E, a flurry of bullets flew at F, the warrior drone blocking it with her wings before seeing who shot at her. Taking notice of Darren's position, F continued shielding herself while preparing a rocket launcher. In a tense blur, F shot at Hawk, the man just barely avoiding death as he was knocked back against the wall, seemingly unconscious. With Darren taken out of the fight, F continued striking her blades with E's, intent on snuffing out this troublemaker out for good.
With the tide of the battle turned, Wade took a moment to take some of his mouth saliva, holding it out to Tina. "Tina, here." The drone girl took the silver goop without a word before putting it onto her wounded chest, her damaged body and clothing repairing quickly thanks to the liquid nanites. Picking up his severed arm, Wade held it up for Tina as well. "Oil?"
"Thanks, hun." Tina replied as she drank up the dripping oil from the limb. Once it was empty, Wade tossed the arm before looking to the damaged window, L and one of the friendly disassembly drones fighting one another.
Flying at L, Wade readied a pair of claw hands as he slashed at L's tail, cutting the nanite tank off as it fell to the floor. Grabbing onto L, Wade punched through his chest, the partially connected bio-mechanical core in his claws before he crushed it with violent ease.
"N-Not agai-" Was all L could utter as he was finally slain by his rival from the factory not a day before.
Hearing a cry of pain from near the lab computers, Wade and Tina looked to see E, F, Nathan, H, and another disassembly drone going at each other in a blur of slashes and stabs. Seeing Wade flying over to her, E broke off from F, attempting to strike Wade's two claws with her one active sword arm, the other having been severed by F during their duel. E's efforts to terminate Wade were immediately in vain as she was quickly stabbed in the chest by Wade, choking from the pain as she prepared for her end.
Having recovered from her shameful stumbling with the human trooper behind the shelves, D prepared to attack once more, but stopped as she saw her comrade being struck down by one of the traitors, the one with the drone rider at his back. "E! Hold on, I'll save you!" She declared before preparing a pair of scythes, trying to imitate her leader as she spun at Wade and his prey.
"D, you imbeci-" E cursed aloud as she was thrown at D by Wade, her body being cut up into several pieces before her team-killing comrade ceased spinning.
Taking notice of her careless attack, D gasped in horror, putting a fresh hand to her mouth as Wade pounced on her. The poor drone squealed in terror as Wade quickly ripped her core out, D's eyes flickering out as her killer tossed her body to the floor.
Looking to D's core, Wade almost debated sparing it of his wrath before deciding against it. Crushing the core, Wade spoke to Tina at his flank. "Man, that one didn't feel so good to kill."
"I see." Tina sympathized, but stopped as she and Wade spotted H flying at them, one of the new ally drones pursuing after him as Wade readied a pair of blades.
Striking H's swords, Wade spoke to his allies. "Keep watch on Kelly there, I've got this one!" The chasing drone and the others heeded Wade's order as they backed off, Wade and H clashing blades in a fierce duel.
In their fighting, the two neared the large window space at the end of the lab as Wade gained the advantage. Once Wade entered another deadlock, Tina fired at H's head, distracting him just long enough for Wade to bite into the drone. H howled in pain as Wade drained him of most of his oil, the feeding lasting several seconds before Wade finally felt satisfied. Feeling H's body beginning to heat up, Wade tossed H's smoking body out the window, part of the still unshattered glass breaking off from the impact as the drone fell. H screamed in perilous agony as he fell down the building, his overheating problem climaxing as he exploded in a ball of fire.
Stepping over the damaged ledge, Wade and Tina watched as they saw the fate of their foe, the former smirking in satisfaction as he glanced to one of the nearby drone allies. "You all okay?"
"Yes sir." The drone replied, Kurtis giving a thumbs-up next to him as the two confirmed their status to Wade.
Observing the assisting disassembly drones, Wade glanced to Tina. "How did they find us so fast?"
"I called Jasmine, love. To be honest, I didn't think they'd get here in time." Tina answered her boyfriend as he looked to her with a grateful smile.
Looking back to F, Wade flew over to his ally, Nathan dismounting her as Tina raised an eyebrow at the military duo. "F? Nathan? Did you two-"
"Yeah. Yeah, we did." F said with a blushing smile, glancing to the smiling Nathan as she continued. "We uh, thought we'd take some notes from you both."
Looking down to Kelly, who was thankfully unharmed, Wade spoke to her as well. "Kel? You good?"
"Oh, I'm fine, Wade. F and Nate here made a great lil' duo." The technician answered as she and her friends laughed at the relief of victory.
In the quieting aura of peace, Darren woke up lazily as he tried to regain his composure. As his vision cleared, he spotted Wade and his team talking to Kelly, not at all noticing him having awoken. Taking hold of his sidearm, Hawk shot at Kelly, only for his attempt on her life to fail as Wade quickly blocked the shot with his wing.
Glaring at the team coordinator, Wade spoke aloud. "Leave him be, he's mine!" Walking towards him, Wade blocked all the shots Darren took at him with his wing, keeping his guard up until he reached the man. Readying a sword, Wade sliced off Hawk's armed hand before picking him up by the neck with his free one, then impaling the corporate agent with his nanite tail while growling at him in contained fury.
Darren grunted in frustrated pain as he looked into Wade's angry eyes with a similar expression. "I'll... be damned, Mr. Carter, I didn't think fortune would favor you and your lot here."
"Well, it sure as hell won't favor you today!" Wade retorted, swapping his sword for a hand as Darren coughed up a bit of blood from his injury.
"You really learned to be so much like us from him, haven't you? Sure seems like it. Even with lights for eyes, I ca-an still see pain in them. Tired, hateful agony. Is that what you feel?"
Wade lowered his gaze for only a short moment, taking in the slightly derogatory comments from Hawk before responding to the man. "...Yeah, I am in pain. So much pain." Then, as he raised his arm he continued in his growing rage. "Why don't I show you a bit of how much pain I'm in?!" At that instance, Wade roared at Darren as he dug his hand into the man's face, gouging his eyes out as he joined Wade in the screaming. The former worker drone kept at Hawk's head as he gripped onto it, his yelling growing in intensity as he tore off the squad leader's head in a bloody mess, part of his spine still latched on to the limb.
F, Nathan, Kelly and the other soldiers watched on with looks of shock, fear, and bewilderment as Wade took his bloody vengeance, Tina putting a hand to her mouth as she watched her love throw Hawk's head while letting go of his body. As Hawk's body fell to the floor, Wade took in heavy breaths from the immense effort he exhausted upon his nemesis before looking to Tina, embarrassment and shame swiftly overcoming him as he realized he was being watched by her. Looking down, Wade spoke to his love apologetically. "I'm... so sorry you had to see that."
Tina shook her head in an odd attempt to comfort Wade on his feelings over what he just did. "Oh no, no. It's fine." Turning her gaze to the grotesque sight of Darren's head, she regained her sympathy over Wade. "Besides, after what you told me about him... I'd say he deserves it for what you endured."
"Yeah. Besides, something tells me if it were Ron in your position... he would've done something similar." Despite the gruesome air she stood in, F let out a morbid chuckle as she continued. "I can believe it too, he tried choking J when he woke up back at your place."
Wade seemed to join in on F's laughter, Gerard giving a more hearty one as he spoke up on the matter. "Can't say I disagree. Call me twisted, but I think it's only... human of you, Wade."
"Thanks, Gerard." Wade said with a small smile, which slowly shifted into a stern frown as he spoke to his team. "I may have been a bit rash with Hawk here, but Halloway better be counting his stars in that office of his. He'll be lucky if he doesn't get worse for what he did."
"Indeed." Tina added before looking to Kelly, the technician taking a small data card out of the hacked console before putting it into one of the slots in her toolkit. "Kelly? Are we good to go, or is there still more to do?"
Holding onto her supplies, Kelly stood up as she helped the formerly scared maintenance drone up as well. "I'd say so, I've got the data chip right in here." Looking around, the technician spoke to her allies standing with her. "I might need some escort there."
"Don't mention it, Kelly. Wade, can you take a chunk of the team here with you? Nathan and I will bring this intel back to the ship outside." F asked as Wade nodded in affirmation.
"Sure thing. Tina and I will be back before you know it." F returned the nod as she looked to the soldiers, all of them having come out of their hiding areas as they listened in on the next step of their plan.
"Alright, Kurtis, Gerard, Duncan, Carlos, I want you two to stick with us. And you," F stopped as she looked to the repair drone, who returned the gaze as he listened to the disassembly drone attentively. "You may wanna come with us, it's gonna be a nasty night if you stay here."
The drone nodded in eager agreement, smiling at the friendly murder drone as he gave his feelings on the idea. "S-Sure thing, you guys could use a repair drone, right?"
F nodded in agreement as she and some of the other soldiers made way for the door, Nathan and Kelly walking alongside her as she spoke once more to Wade. "See you back at the ship Wade, and one more thing: Give Halloway the Carter treatment for us, okay?"
"Will do, F." Wade replied with a salute and a smirk, Tina doing the same behind her boyfriend as their allies departed.
Then, hearing a beep from her pocket, Tina pulled out her smartcomm, answering her sister's call. "Yes?"
"Looks like things have calmed down now, you alright, Tina?" Jasmine asked as Tina replied warmly.
"Oh, yes. Our friends here made this intel job much easier." Glancing to the friendly murder drones, Tina nodded in silent appreciation as they returned the gesture, turning to fly back outside as the pilot drone listened to the small device.
"Glad to hear it, I've got some wounded onboard that I'm taking to the base. I'll see you there after this whole rodeo is over."
Tina chuckled pleasantly as she replied once more to her sister. "I see, well, I wish you the safety of the stars over you and your team on the way back. See you tonight, love."
"You too, say hi to Wade for me. Jasmine out." With that, the Fowleys' call ceased again, leaving Tina, Wade and their remaining team members to themselves as they contemplated their next move.
Walking over to the drone couple, Vasquez spoke to the two while holding her rifle firm. "Well, looks like you're in charge now, Mr. Carter. Where do we go?"
Glancing back to the entrance leading to the elevator, then up to the ceiling, Wade nodded lightly as he made his decision.
"We go to Halloway."

What is WordPress Full Site Editing (FSE)?

Imagine transforming your WordPress site without touching a single line of code. That’s the magic of Full Site Editing (FSE)! It’s a game-changer for beginners, giving you the power to design and customize every corner of your website using simple building blocks called blocks. Think of these blocks like Lego bricks for your website.
Previously, customizing your site beyond the content area often involved editing theme files or using complex page builders. FSE simplifies this process dramatically, making website creation more accessible and intuitive for everyone.

Why Would a Beginner Want to Use FSE?

Pros:

• No coding required: Build beautiful websites without touching a single line of code.
• Drag-and-drop interface: Edit your site visually, just like using Legos.
• Flexibility and customization: Design unique layouts and personalize your website exactly how you want.
• Faster development: Build pages quicker and easier compared to traditional methods.
• Responsive design: FSE themes adapt automatically to different screen sizes.
• Future-proof: This is the direction WordPress is moving, so learning FSE now benefits you long-term.

Cons:

• Still evolving: Some features and themes might be under development.
• Learning curve: While easier than coding, there’s still a learning curve to understand blocks and the interface.
• Limited theme selection: Currently, fewer themes fully support FSE compared to traditional themes.

Check Your Compatibility

Before jumping in, make sure your WordPress setup is ready for FSE. You’ll need:

• WordPress 6.0 or later: Newer versions offer better FSE support. Check your version under Dashboard > Updates.
• Block-based theme: Traditional themes won’t work with FSE. Look for themes marked as “block-based” or “FSE-compatible.”

Install a Beginner-Friendly FSE Theme

Choosing the right theme is crucial! Here are some popular options for beginners:

• Twenty Twenty-Three (TT3): The official WordPress theme built for FSE, packed with features and customization options.
• Astra: Highly customizable and lightweight, perfect for various website types.
• Kadence: Offers pre-built layouts and drag-and-drop functionality for easy site creation.
• GeneratePress: Simple and lightweight with a powerful theme builder for more control.

Remember, you can always change themes later! Install your chosen theme via Appearance > Themes in your WordPress dashboard.

Navigate the FSE Interface

Once you activate your FSE theme, explore the new “Site Editor” interface:

• Sidebar: Houses all available blocks for you to drag and drop onto your pages.
• Toolbar: Provides options for managing layouts, settings, and previewing your site.
• Canvas: This is where you build your pages by adding and arranging blocks.
• Inspector: Customize individual blocks by adjusting their styles, content, and settings.

Key Features

• Block patterns: Pre-designed layouts ready to be inserted for faster page building.
• Global styles: Set consistent fonts, colors, and spacing for your entire site.
• Templates: Create reusable page layouts for different sections of your website.

These are just a few highlights. Experiment and explore the interface to discover its full potential!

Building Your Website with FSE

Dive into the Fun Stuff!

Now that you’re comfortable with the basics, let’s get your hands dirty and start building! Here are the core pillars of FSE website creation:

Pages

Creating New Pages:

• Open the Site Editor and choose “Pages” to see existing ones or “Add New” to create a fresh page.
• Explore the library of “Blocks” on the left sidebar. Drag and drop them onto the canvas to build your page structure.
• Each block represents different content types (text, images, buttons, etc.). Customize each block using the Inspector panel on the right.

Editing Existing Pages:

• Select the page you want to edit from the “Pages” section.
• The Site Editor displays the existing page layout with all its blocks.
• Edit individual blocks by clicking on them and using the Inspector panel. Add new blocks and rearrange them as needed.

Using Pre-built Templates (if available):

• Some FSE themes offer pre-built “Page Templates” with ready-made layouts for different purposes (homepage, contact page, etc.).
• Access these templates in the Site Editor and choose the one that best suits your needs.
• Customize the template further by editing individual blocks and their content.

Navigation

Customizing Your Menu:

• Go to “Appearance > Menus” in the WordPress dashboard.
• Add menu items for your pages or categories. Rearrange them using drag-and-drop.
• In the Site Editor, open the “Navigation” section. You can see the menu you created.
• Customize its appearance (fonts, colors, spacing) using the menu editor within the Site Editor.

Creating Different Menus:

• You can create multiple menus for different sections of your website.
• In the Menus section of the dashboard, create separate menus for specific areas (e.g., main menu, footer menu).
• Within the Site Editor, assign different menus to different locations on your website (e.g., header, footer).

Understanding Block Types

Explore the diverse block library within the Site Editor. You’ll find blocks for:

• Text and headings
• Images and galleries
• Buttons and forms
• Videos and social media embeds
• And much more!

Adding, Arranging, and Editing Blocks:

• Find the block you need in the library, drag and drop it onto the canvas.
• Arrange blocks by dragging and dropping them to reorder.
• Click on any block to access the Inspector panel and customize its content, style, and settings.

Global Styles

Setting Overall Site Design:

• Go to “Appearance > Global Styles” in the dashboard.
• Define your website’s overall typography (fonts, sizes, colors).
• Set color palettes for different elements (buttons, backgrounds, etc.).
• Define spacing and layout options for a consistent feel throughout your site.

Going Further with FSE

Advanced Tips and Resources

Now that you’ve grasped the core concepts of building with FSE, let’s explore ways to elevate your website creation experience:

Reusable Styles

As mentioned, defining reusable styles within “Global Styles” is a powerful tool for maintaining consistency and efficiency. Here’s how:

• Create multiple styles: Define different styles for headings, buttons, forms, etc., to build a design system for your website.
• Apply styles easily: In the Site Editor, select blocks and quickly apply predefined styles from the dropdown menu.
• Update styles globally: Modifying a style within “Global Styles” automatically updates all blocks using that style, saving you time and effort.

Patterns for Faster Page Building

Discover “Patterns”: Many FSE themes offer pre-designed blocks called “Patterns” representing sections like hero areas, contact forms, and more.

• Insert patterns quickly: Drag and drop patterns onto your page to save time on building common elements.
• Customize patterns: Edit patterns like any other block to make them your own without starting from scratch.

Block Plugins for Extended Features

Expand your toolkit: Install block plugins that add even more block options to your library.

• Find specific functionalities: Plugins offer blocks for advanced features like social media feeds, custom forms, and complex layouts.
• Choose wisely: Select plugins with good reviews and active development for a smooth experience.

Troubleshooting Common FSE Issues

Seek help: While relatively user-friendly, FSE might encounter minor issues.

• Consult documentation: Check your theme’s documentation for troubleshooting tips related to specific themes or blocks.
• Community forums: Utilize online forums and communities dedicated to WordPress and FSE for help from other users and developers.

Evening all,
Following from my previous posts: first, second.
Profile on me:

• Age: 28 years old
• Privileges (moved back home and living here again)
• Salary: £28,000~ [Increase of £17,000 from first post two years ago]

A whirlwind of events has unfolded since my last update on this journey [second post]. I took the plunge and moved out with a new partner, only to face the harsh reality of financial abuse. The relentless demands of rent and bills devoured my savings, while the rising cost of groceries further strained my finances.
Despite these challenges, I yearned to embrace life and continued to socialise, albeit on a tighter budget than when I lived at home. But supporting my partner financially only added to the pressure, diminishing my disposable income even further. Whilst they were able to go out and have fun I was left picking up the pieces.
Now that I’m back home, the stress of having a narcissistic partner has dissipated, leaving me feeling fresh and renewed. I've realised how crucial it is to pick a partner who is on the same wavelength as you. My partner earned more than I did but spent it all, frequently asking to borrow money from me with the constant promise of "I'll start budgeting next month." They said this since day 0 and I should've walked away then. Every single month I begged for them to save and budget, months rolled by and the situation became worse, more money was spent from the joint account and more money borrowed.
It seems that I didn't learn from my last post to take things slow!
Because of the above, my saving and investments has been poor and I still need to pay half my rent and rent at home until September.
There's also another expense such as driving lessons.

Investments	Value	Notes:
Vanguard	32,436.40	FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund Accumulation
Freetrade	3,456.09	Most from covid times: In growth: Microsoft, Costco, FTSE100, Greggs, Amazon /Negative: GSK
Premium bonds	3500.00	Not really won much compared to the other vehicles
LISA	19,624.61	Put loads in this as I thought I'll be buying a place with my ex-partner
Pension	4,879.39	The wonders of working an office job
Cash	1,470.34
Total	- £3000 (PB parents money)	£62,366.83

Student loans are now £51,611.90 and going up around £300 every month now which is pretty steep. To clear it in the next 17 years before it's wiped off would require me to pay £510 a month. Which is quite frankly not worth it. I much rather save up for a house deposit and live life.

Current steps: Save to £70K and sort out finances

Come September when I stop paying double rent and do my driving test it should be easy to save up. But I might have to spend some to buy a car?
My work in the charity sector is also not secure, my job is contracted and gets renewed every few months which is not high job security. My current contract will end in March 2025 which is nine months away.
Anyway, I hope this update has helped those in a similar position to me. I may not be on the £100k salaries like everyone else but I'm still going!

Hello,
Im trying to get back into the game. Playing some premiums (sadly hacked and lost a lot of tanks) and grinding brit mediums. Up to tier 8 now. Fairly fed up with the low alpha damage and needing some heavies and TDs for missions or just some change of pace.
I got multiple lines at tier 10 already, since Ive played on and off since 2013. What Im planning to do is getting the E 75 when its top of the tree and learn/play some heavies. But Im interesting in an more aggresive heavy line to grind and play tier 8-9 as well. I like my AE Phase 1, but its rough when you cant push that easy after winning the heavy flank.
Been looking at the new China line but people doesnt seem to like it and tier 8 seems to be real bad. Japan seems more like a support heavy. The brits are great but tier 8 has low alpha again and Im going mad not beeing able to kill a light tank at crucial moments. Are the doubble barreled decent now? Looks like no hull armor.
I dont really enjoy the T 58 all that much. No armor and super derpy. But the T-10 is one of my better stats wise.
Im also looking for a more assault/mid distance TD to play. So some armor and decent alpha. Not a " red line sniper". Looks lie most newer has armor like that, japan, poland and maybe the older china.
Good hunting!

For some reason I'm already envisioning a future memo talking about how an effort has been made with all the focusing on GMS exclusivity and such but unfortunately they will have to take a step back because it turns out the whole ordeal was not profitable as excepted, and if this happens this will be solely because Nexon is fucking garbage at monetizing this server.
Here's how to double or triple your profits without triggering anyone or at least not most people because a minority will always cry about things that involve spending money

1. Make VAC pets on sale PERMENATELY - a no brainer to literally anyone but you Nexon. Also make it cost 70$ because it pretty much is already if you use reward points so make it 70$ and no longer discounted by RP just because it will look better for people who don't know it is discounted by RP.
2. Make a monthly battlepass that costs somewhere between 15-30 dollars and that will actually be worth the money, it can give like 200-300 frags + 200-300 nodestones, some EXP stuff and a few goodies like 3 SSB's and a royal hair + eye coupon or something. Maybe do a cheaper battlepass and a battlepass PLUS that gives more stuff. If they do this btw they need to not go the KMS route with the ridiculous double pass they started doing with fairy bros that shit would start getting way too much and piss people off.
3. Less cutesy, baby and femboy stuff in the SSB's, more "edgy" and serious styles like the ones KMS have, really just import all the styles from KMS they look way better. Look how people go nuts over things like the black sword, literally just a long black simple looking sword, how are you not capitalizing on this stuff?
4. Why are almost all the male hairstyles from royal coupons so awful? I'd get it if you put 1 good hairstyle and 5 bad ones but most of the time there isn't even ONE that is good.
5. Make Gachapon give actual good rewards like Unit damage skins for example. Almost no one cares about chairs and mounts smh.
6. CS transfer needs to be at least 4 times a year, I understand why they do the class based sharing, it's really shitty but whatever, it's Nexon after all, but if they give us more transfers then people will be inclined to buy more stuff because they won't have to be waiting sometimes 6 whole months until they can use the stuff on alts.
7. Bring us cool stuff that KMS has like the thing that lets you change the colors on NX equips and the new one that lets you become a pet, just why the hell not? Why does it take years if ever to get these things?

🔗Hasselblad Drone with High-Quality Night Vision

​
https://preview.redd.it/xfx5t3uz7j4d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e63b15009e9eaf3a00413338a01e4e0ce0723860
The DJI Mavic 2 Pro is a game-changer when it comes to drone photography. I recently had the chance to use it for a photo shoot, and the results were stunning. The Hasselblad Camera is truly something special, capturing images with incredible detail and vivid colors.
The adjustable aperture was particularly useful - it allowed me to capture crisp photos in all sorts of lighting conditions. But it wasn't all smooth sailing.
The drone's size and weight made it a bit of a challenge to transport, and the app could use some work in terms of user-friendliness. Overall, the Mavic 2 Pro is a powerful tool for professional photographers, but it might not be the best fit for beginners or those on a budget.

🔗DJI FPV Combo: Immersive First-Person View Drone with 4K Night Vision and Advanced Safety Features

​
https://preview.redd.it/wodklr708j4d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df14a74443cfc9d6cbd063e2d639df5f23bab4c0

Experience seamless connectivity and transmission, up to 6.2 miles away, with OcuSync 3.0, immersing you in an unforgettable flight.

🔗Parrot Anafi Thermal Drone: Night Vision and Advanced Flight Features

​
https://preview.redd.it/zqqv1y318j4d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08a5ba93f788817c96b66b4b85da88aab55d24f8
As a reviewer, I've had the opportunity to use the Parrot Anafi USA, and I must say, my experience has been nothing short of remarkable. The ease of flight is something that stands out and makes this drone a delight to use. In fact, it took me less than a minute to get it up in the air and ready to go.
One feature that particularly caught my eye was the thermal imaging technology. Having the power to zoom in as well as it does was nothing I've ever encountered before. I could easily see the difference between various heat signatures, and it proved invaluable in situations where visual clarity was a limitation.
However, it would be remiss of me not to mention that the software could use a bit of polish. Navigation through it was initially a challenge, but I was able to get the hang of it after some time.
Despite this, the Parrot Anafi USA is a top-of-the-line thermal drone that I genuinely enjoyed using. It combines ease of use with powerful technology, making it a strong contender in the market for those looking for something efficient and reliable.

🔗Foldable Drone with 1080P HD Camera for Beginners and Kids

​
https://preview.redd.it/vsvo16518j4d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f10b1961eae5b8d6ab6ebae2dd351ad22632d5f
Diving into my new adventure with the Velcase Drone, I found it to be a perfect companion for capturing unforgettable moments from the sky. The ease of use and convenience it brings to the table was surprising. The one-key takeoff and landing feature, along with the altitude hold, made handling this drone a breeze, even for a first-timer like me.
One of the most impressive features was the ability to control the drone's camera using just my voice. The Velcase VGO app played a big role in making this possible, and the live streaming through FPV technology was the cherry on top. The drone's foldable body made it portable and easy to carry, allowing me to explore distant landscapes without any hassle.
However, I did face a few challenges with the drone. The flight time could be disappointing at times, especially when I had to spend a considerable amount of time capturing footage. Additionally, on a few occasions, the drone faced some stability issues, which led to the occasional loss of images.
Despite these challenges, the Velcase Drone has been a remarkable tool for me. Its ease of use and convenience have led to some incredible moments that I will cherish forever. The drone's foldable design, optical flow positioning, and 1080P HD camera make it the ideal choice for beginners and kids, providing them with a delightful flying experience and a chance to capture high-quality shots.

🔗Sonic Premium Drone with Night Vision

​
https://preview.redd.it/vtzd9r818j4d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d29b82f22aacb001da543461d0bd99f7c7e3db9a
Experience the joy of flight with the Sonic Premium Drone. As a reviewer, I've been using this toy drone in my daily life, and I can tell you it's more than just a fun device.
The drone is equipped with a high-quality camera, allowing you to capture stunning moments from above, giving your child a taste of aerial photography. Its intuitive controls and safety features give young pilots the confidence to explore the skies, while its ability to perform 3D flips and experiment with variable speeds keeps them engaged for up to 10 minutes per session.
