2024.05.23 12:59 LilyNadesico 3.5 to PF 1e Conversion: Beholderkin, Overseer
In the end, I was able to get back to my conversions, and right now, I'm converting one of my fave aberrations ever! This has been quite an undertaking, since it's my highest-CR creation yet (though of course, I plan on taking on much greater ones). I've tried to be consistent and balanced with the power level, but I'm still not sure if I managed it. It doesn't help that there aren't many CR 17 Aberrations around - and I must thank the Creature Codex for their hard work and for providing me some examples to confront my own work with. Of course, suggestions and constructive criticism are always welcome.
And as always, I hope you enjoy.
P.S.: If you're looking for conversions of the Beholder, both the Creature Codex and the Creature Chronicle blogs have some excellent ones.
BEHOLDERKIN, OVERSEER
This horror resembles a black tree made of rubbery, pulsating flesh. Each of its branches ends in a single unblinking eye, and three fanged maws yawn open on the creatureās trunk. It propels itself forward by crawling on several root-like tentacles.

ECOLOGY
Environment cold hills or mountains
Organization solitary, pair or grove (2-4 plus 3-6 beholders and 3-6 director beholderkin)
Treasure double standard
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Command Beholder (Su): An overseer can use dominate monster at will as a spell-like ability (caster level 17th), but only against beholders and creatures with the beholderkin subtype. Any such creature can resist this effect with a Will saving throw (DC 28). The save DC is Charisma-based. This is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell. Hive mothers and other overseers are immune to this ability.
The maximum number of beholders and beholderkin an overseer can command at one time equals half its Hit Dice plus its Charisma modifier. Thus, the average overseer can command up to 18 beholders or beholderkin at a time.
If an overseer loses control of a dominated beholder (as is the case if a dominated beholder is in the antimagic cone of another beholder), the overseer can immediately sense the loss of control and knows the position and distance to the beholder at the time control was lost. If control does not return within a few rounds, the overseer seeks out the rogue beholder to investigate and possibly punish it.
Eye Rays (Su): An overseer uses its spell-like abilities by producing magical rays from the eyeballs on its branch-like limbs. Each round, as a standard action, it may use up to 4 of its spell-like abilities within the set limits of uses per day. Treat these as ranged touch attacks with a range of 180 feet and no range increment. An overseer may not use the same spell-like ability two rounds in a row, and may not use the same spell-like ability with more than a single eye in a given round. Typically, an overseer uses three eye rays, leaving it with the option to use either its reactive spell turning or reactive spell immunity (see below) as needed.
Fungal Armor (Ex): A layer of thick, wiry fungus grows on an overseer's body. This provides the overseer with a +6 armor bonus to its Armor Class and gives the overseer a damage reduction of 5/- and a +8 circumstance bonus to Stealth checks as the fungus changes hue to match its surroundings (already figured in the above statistics). Fungal armor has no maximum Dexterity bonus, no armor check penalty and no arcane spell failure chance, and does not reduce the overseer's speed. However, the fungus is vulnerable to extreme temperatures. If an overseer ever fails a saving throw against a fire or cold effect that deals hit point damage, it must make a Fortitude save against the same DC of the attack it was hit with. Failing this Fortitude save means that enough of the fungus has been scoured away from the overseer's body that the overseer loses the benefits of its fungal armor for 1 hour - at which point the fungus has regenerated enough that the benefits are active again. Diminish plants also suppresses the overseer's fungal armor for 1d3 rounds unless the overseer succeeds at a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + spell level + caster's relevant ability score bonus).
Reactive Spell Immunity (Su): Once per round as an immediate action, an overseer can use one of its eye rays to negate a single spell that affects it as the spell is being cast. The overseer must successfully hit the creature that cast the spell in question with a ranged touch attack; if successful, it is immune to that casting of that particular spell. Otherwise, the spell affects the overseer normally (though the overseer is still allowed a saving throw and/or spell resistance if applicable). If the spell influenced by this ability affects multiple targets or an area, it affects any other targets or the area normally, but the overseer remains immune to its effect. An overseer may not use this ability if it is considered flat-footed against the source of the spell, and may not use it in the same round as its reactive spell turning ability.
Reactive Spell Turning (Su): Once per round as an immediate action, an overseer can use one of its eye rays to reflect a single-target spell that targets the overseer back to its source. The overseer must hit the caster with the eye ray; if successful, the target suffers the effects of its own spell, allowing for a saving throw as normal. Otherwise, the spell affects the overseer normally (though the overseer is still allowed a saving throw and/or spell resistance if applicable). An overseer may not use this ability if it is considered flat-footed against the source of the spell, and may not use it in the same round as its reactive spell immunity ability.
An overseer is a particular breed of beholderkin that serves as a direct subordinate to the hive mother in large beholder communities. A beholder hive city ruled by an hive mother always contains a handful of these monstrosities, who concern themselves with keeping watch over lesser beholderkin and report any deviant behaviour to the mother. However, many overseers, possessing the typical beholderkin's arrogance and self-centeredness, chafe at this arrangement and seek greater stations for themselves. While few overseers are reckless enough to directly challenge an hive mother's power, they often vie for the position of favored enforcer, and rivalries among groups of overseers often provide a weak point in a beholder hive city's formidable defenses. A few rare overseers decide to leave beholder communities and seek out non-beholder societies to dominate from behind the scenes, often helped by a few dominated beholderkin.
Perhaps one of the most peculiar characteristics about overseers is the fact that they live in a symbiothic relationship with a strange, otherworldly fungus that grows inside their bodies and expands on their skin. The creature has some measure of control over this fungus, and can vary its color in order to express emotion or camouflage itself, as well as use it as some sort of impromptu body armor. However, the fungus is susceptible to sudden and large variations in environmental temperature - a cold or fire based attack covering a large enough portion of the creature's body can kill enough of the fungus as to temporarily negate its living armor, leaving the overseer in a state of relative vulnerability.
Despite their formidable combat skills, overseers tend to consider themselves above such vulgar activities as physical combat, and their preferred place to be in a conflict is behind charmed and dominated minions, which they're never in short supply of. They usually direct their servants (both beholderkin and otherwise) in battle while at the same time using their spell-like abilities to harass and inflict pain on their enemies. They particularly enjoy disrupting enemy spellcasters, using their reactive spell immunity and spell turning to frustrate them. If forced into physical fighting, they are more than capable of holding their own, but are quick to understand when their situation is becoming untenable, and they rarely hesitate to retreat when significantly injured or when their fungus armor is compromised. An overseer is skilled in the use of several magic items, and typically keeps an item allowing teleportation with itself for such an emergency. However, an overseer will not forget such a humiliation, and is patient enough to wait for years before enacting its revenge, if necessary.
An overseer is about 20 feet tall, though its branch-like limbs can make it appear even larger, and weighs between 7 and 8 tons.

2024.05.23 12:58 ru_moo Week 2 progress?
So, I wanted to give an update and get some feedback. We're beginning the second week of introductions of our 4 month old (now neutered) kitten to our 1.5 year old resident female. The resident smelled the kitten through his carrier yesterday (we brought him back from being neutered) without any hissing. At night, while there were separated, we found them playing with their paws under the door. Resident did a small growl but kept playing and walked away eventually. Same thing this morning. There's no reaction with scent swapping anymore. We were thinking of supervised play this weekend if it keeps like this. Any feedback if this is indeed progress? Thanks!

2024.05.23 12:57 GymBratz Canāt seem to hold down a job
Let me preface by saying,I LOVE to work. Iāve never been out of a job for more than a weekā¦.until recently and I have now been out of work for over a month.
Iāve done a lot of self reflection as to why it is that I cannot seem to hold down a job lately.
Job history:
My first job was when I was 14 I was in housekeeping with my friendās mom for four years. When I turned 18 I left that behind me and moved to TX where I started off in bartending and while I was bartending I was also in furniture sales for two years. (Yes I worked two jobs and lived entirely on my own)
I fell in love and transferred to the furniture store branch in a small town where I had moved in with my fiancƩe (he was a chronic cheater it did not work out) the job there was terrible and because of the area,there was no money to be made there. Eventually I switched to part time management at a humane society as well as full time housekeeping at a nearby hotel. I did that for a little over a year and when I found out about the chronic cheating I took the next flight back to AZ to be with my parents.
From then on I got a āstepping stoneā job at a gas station where I worked for about 6months,and at the start of the following new year I was a medical receptionist. I was there for a little over a year and that job was extremely tough. The job itself was not hard,in fact I loved my job and I was damn good at it.
The biggest challenge I faced is that I kept getting promoted every three months and a lot of the girls next to me were extremely jealous. They started gossip behind my back and I ignored it. I ended up getting complaints about every little thing that I did wrong. (Ex: I briefly checked my phone between calls -as everyone did- because my mom called me and I texted her that Iād call her on my break.) the management was absolutely disgusting and treated everyone like crap,except the few specific mean girls who got their hair braided by the manager. Cringe.
I got fired from that job because of all of the complaints from the same two people.
I ended up landing a job in car sales,quickly got promoted to where I was making 95k a year. That promotion required me to move to a town just an hour away in a dealership I had worked in a handful of times. As a salesman they loved me there. But as a finance manager,they HATED my guts. The salespeople were obviously annoyed I landed the higher position. I was in said position for about 8 months before I quit. The desk manager there had attempted to seduce me in the office and when I cut his advances down,he got extremely cold. He started excluding me from meetings I shouldāve gone to, as well as outings they would have as a team. He also started asking me to do frivolous tasks like get him coffee or drive 6 hours round trip to get signatures for a salesmanās customers. (Not a part of my job!)
I sent my letter of resignation and landed a job as an office administrator for a construction company. This job was amazing. But after a year there I got terminated for ānot being bubbly enough.ā -which Iād totally get it if I was around people,but considering I was the only person in the office all day by myself,I donāt even know how that conclusion was even made. At this point,something has to give. I have superb organizational skills and extensive knowledge on multiple job fields. But clearly I am doing something wrong. The world seems to expect me to be a certain person that I just am not.
Another thing I should note: itās hard being young and attempting to get into higher positions. I get shot down so fast and Iāve even had interviews where they saw my job hopping as huge red flag. I never miss work,Iām always on time and early and I do my job well.

2024.05.23 12:56 Sensitive-Trifle2664 I just feel my life is pointless. (20M)
Hey guys, I'm very new to Buddhism, but that's because Buddhism resonated with me on a rather spiritual level.
But it doesn't matter in the end for me. Whenever I've achieved something, small of big, I just feel empty. As in, what's the point of even pursuing "deluded" passions when it all ceases to exist, where these memories will fade like tears in the rain. (No, I'm not trying to quote Blade Runner blindly here). I just don't feel like chasing after any golden Apple because I feel if I do, I fear that I'll forget the other interests and hobbies that keep me happy. It's a vicious cycle of hunting and retreating that never ends. Personally for me, I just don't have the sustained interest to meet anyone outside neither do I wish to spend the rest of my life in a man cave.
It just feels so illogical from my end. I used to be an incredibly optimistic person. I used to have a lot of friends, although none at a spiritual level, but nonetheless someone to relate and confine to. I used to have a burning passion for the Sciences, Maths and History. Now whenever I look back, I just feel it's empty subjective interpretations of our Universe that's still unable to solve the information paradox in a black hole, and explain why quantum fuzziness exists. I do wish to find the solution, but I fear if I do so I'll be leading my life in utter delusion because any solution offered go these questions can only be answered through empirical evidence (assuming our senses don't purely inhibit the true nature of the reality we live in.) I'm scared if I pursue my ideas for inventions, I'll create a blueprint for destruction in the future projected and adapted from my findings, because even if 90% of humanity uses it for the benefit of "improving mankind" (if we can ever define improve), 10% of it can destroy it all in a nanosecond. Humans are a contradictory species. We promise and follow an idealogy, but we back off from it the moment the idealogy is disqualified if the person who invented was a bigot even though the contributions to mankind are immeasurable. I just feel there's no point because at one point in history, whatever is deemed ethical now will not be in the future. Although a well educated person would be able to find this nuance, the general public will hate him throughout their lives blindly without ever knowing what they went through. Most of us will be forgotten in 100 years time, and even if I'm a Magnus Carlsen, I'll be forgotten in millenia to come because who knows if Chess will exist then (I know it's been existing for a couple of millenia already, but what if we evolve far enough to completely absolve its charm?) If there's any struggle I usually take it in my stride but now, I realise these achievements are nothing but Maya.
I used to believe in the idealogy of the Batman, I used to even strictly follow it as much as possible by always remembering our life is defined by our actions not our past faults and regrets and trauma. But now I just feel Batman was playing Sisyphus all the while. We all are. Camus and Frankl believe it to give our life unique value, but the deeper I look at humanity, the more similar we all are. There's nothing to make us outstanding are unique between all of us. We all have a strong passion for activities we all admire, how does that correlate to uniqueness? We all have different stories, and that offers meaning, but how are we to realise if we don't know the end? And that we all go through the same worries, bouts of happiness with just a slight twist in the story? While it makes me feel less lonely, I believe we can never truly elevate ourselves to the Ć¼bermensch like Nietzsche believed. Even if we were to, that would be in a sudden, drastic transformation we all may not be able to witness for millenia. Especially in this age of the internet, we all can understand and learn from others stories. That gives me a sense of security, no matter how short lived it is, because I feel it's my story. With the sensory and information overload we all have, we have nearly mapped out all the unique desires we felt were initially unique in a server.
I have thought about returning back to the community, but my parents refuse saying that the money needs to be saved up for University, which is pragmatic but honestly too safe. I have pondered billions of times to resume a fan made Batman short series I was working my ass off on when my parents dismissed it claiming I wouldn't concentrate on my studies. So when I think Recently, I started revising and preparing myself for a hectic freshman year, yet my plans unravel because I don't have the intense passion in me to excel, as I know for a fact in the first I will survive one way or the other (I'm a decent student). If I don't , does it matter? I didn't have anything to lose in the beginning, I don't have anything to lose now. Sometimes I attribute this to my fortune; I've lead an incredibly comfortable life with no qualms in the materialistic sense. But I lack something deep inside me, which I'm not sure of. Maybe I'm just a cynic, maybe I'm just being stupid.
I just feel empty.
For context, I'm a recovering (but mostly unsuccessful) PMO addict. I feel that my constant efforts to integrate and make peace with my libido have failed miserably. I have a brother and a mother I dearly love but even if I want to live for them, I don't know how to live with them. They're the only people to understand me, but they're incredibly moody and sensitive so any form of discussion with my feelings/ conflict will be amplified a thousand times. I lead a very different life without them in their presence, yet I spend most of my time with them. It's like I'm leading a contradictory life with only some hints of my true self. Nothing I try works, nothing makes sense. My real self, instead, is just a spiteful, rebellious man who doesn't even listen to himself.
And I believe the reason for that is because of my dependence to live in the moment.
I treat life like a movie. Each mood is a result of one, and then it continues linearly. It's as if my self is not there at all and all that remains is a person that lives and breathes for others.
I've been planning to do some meditation to offer relief but more I think about it the more complex the problem becomes, and it's not because it's complex, my other, 'rebellious living for others' kicks in with ease. My real self only appears whenever there is a setback that puts me in a risky situation, and even then at times I don't feel the impact it should have despite it being serious.
Guess this is the result of a bursting pit of trauma unresolved to the extent it makes me feel like I'm obeying Le Chatelier's principle. Also add a sprinkle of anxiety and a bit of depression from loneliness. I also think I may have some neurodivergent symptoms but I'm just brushing it off now.
It doesn't matter. I know I'm contradictory, shallow and devoid of a true self.
But maybe, just maybe, if there's someone here in this sub that can help me find the last ounce of optimism, force me to change my viewpoints, then perhaps there is hope that my true self is hiding out there seeking shelter in Tatooine away from Darth Vader.
TLDR; I believe I overrule whatever tasks I want to do, A lot of anxiety, loneliness and introspection, burnout on whatever I used to love, and hence why I believe it doesn't matter.

2024.05.23 12:56 JTB696699 Everything hit me all at onceā¦
So Iāve been no contact with my family for nearly 7 years now. Two of the biggest things I did for myself was to buy a car that my Dad had absolutely nothing to do with and move half a country away from them. They were controlling, manipulative, and lived the definition of gaslighting. So I had been up here about ten months and one day at work my back started hurting so bad that my boss first took me to urgent care and then the ER. I had a compression fracture in my lower back that is probably due to osteoporosis. After 3 days in the hospital and that many days at home resting, the doctor signed my return to work form with certain restrictions to keep me from straining my back and work let me back. I also stopped drinking because of the medication they put me on. About a week later I get an email from my landlord saying that the apartment I was in had been determined to be unsafe by the city because of a crumbling outside wall and I had to be out by the end of the next month. I was able to secure another apartment and get the key early so I could make small trips and have time to move. About a week later after work I go and pick up my friend to help me drop off a load and then we go back to his place to smoke (we live in a weed legal state) and get some food. While I was about get a dab ready, I blacked out and woke up naked in a hospital bed the next day. I had a seizure at my friends house and his wife got to witness me falling to the floor foaming and bleeding (I bit my tongue) from the mouth. They called the ambulance and when they were wheeling me into the hospital I had another seizure at the entrance. I was released the day I woke up and after a week of being medicated with no symptoms, the doctor signed another return to work form adding that I couldnāt work around the pool in case I had another seizure. After 2 and a half weeks of being on unpaid leave, constantly going back and forth with the doctor, my boss, and HR, they let me go. Their reason was that the pool was too important to my job to justify keeping me (the pool responsibilities took me usually a half hour to an hour total everyday, thereās always more than one person there that knows how to take care of it and thereās plenty more I could do within the doctors restrictions). I have been on the phone with lawyers who are looking deeper into it to see if I was wrongfully terminated. On top of all this to make ends meet Iāve filled out applications for everything from food stamps to disability and unemployment. Iāve never been without a job before, Iāve never had a seizure before, Iāve never felt so helpless. It hurts to play guitar right now because my arms stay sore and music was something my family was always against me pursuing. I had sold my original collection of instruments to have money to get away from them and I had spent the past year getting it back. It all feels like everything I worked so hard for is falling out from under me, Iām more than likely gonna lose my car and Iām doing my best not to sell my guitars again. Iām just glad I qualify for so much help and benefits because if I didnāt I was going to have to call my family, something that I would only do as a last resort. My friend and my therapist keep telling me to use this time as a vacation and get back to 100% before I go to work. I just donāt like this feeling of not taking care of myself. Something my parents used to do when they still had access to my bank account was to deposit money (it didnāt matter whether I needed it or not, they would just do it randomly) and then tell me they did this and expect me to do something that they knew I probably didnāt want to do. It didnāt matter whether I actually used the money and it got to the point where I would have to beg them not to give me any or tell them to take it back. Itās always been hard for me to trust free help.

2024.05.23 12:55 Komii_plays I have a lot of opinions and itās not my fault
So Iāve had a lot of opinions on a lot of things in one piece the one thing I will never shut up about is how messed up the government and marines are. Like I actually hate most marines other than garp and Koby. Like I get as a marine you donāt agree with what pirates do that however does not give you an excuse to do the worlds most unspeakable things and get away with it because youāre āon the right side of the law.ā I had taken a liking to garp because despite him being a marine and despite him trying to push luffy and ace to be marines he had a true sense of justice. Where you get marines like sengoku whos main reason to execute ace was not only using him as bait to lure out white beard but also because heās gol d rogers son? Thatās despicable blaming him for crimes he had not yet committed. THE ICING ON THE CAKE executing him the same way you did his dad is a whole new level of messed up. The justice system in one piece is fried. It was heartbreaking having garp just stand there and watch everything unfold because he knew he couldnāt do a damn thing about it. Letās also talk about the fucking celestial dragons like they are committing real fucking crimes but get away with it because of their lineage that is so messed up. Crocodile gets thrown in torture prison because he wants to take over a country yet the celestial dragons take part in human trafficking actual fucking slavery and they are worshipped. I watch one piece and itās the people who are supposed to be protecting the civilians who are committing the worst crimes.

2024.05.23 12:55 IrshamWindborn A little fanfic on how I would make a TV series including the stories of both books and games.
Context: I've read the main 7 books, played the trilogy+ Thronebreaker and watched the first 2 seasons and NotW. I actually started reading the books as a preparation for TW3 since I was busy in my studies and liked the books good enough I've enjoyed the whole (mainline) saga in chronological order. Like many of you I was excited for the series but also sceptical, knowing that what Netflix wanted was to have their own "Game of Thrones" rather than paying homage to "The Witcher" itself, with the project having the result we all unfortunately know.
Now, I know many of you would say "if they wanted to make a good series they should've stuck to just adapting the books" and yes, the ending product would've been more cohesive and fans would've liked it more, not to say the books are structured in a very episodic way, like an anthology (something that I actually didn't like. I had problems enjoying the books because to me they were about "stuff that just happens" but that's a discussion for another time), meaning that adapting each chapter into a full episode seemed like a no-brainer.
HOWEVER, I think I speak in the name of many here when I say that CDPR told some of the best stories in the Witcher mythos, and so they should be included as well. Problem is, the games are actually a fanfic-ky non-canon epilogue to the books, and experiencing them in a row felt weird. Like the connection between the OT and the sequels of Star Wars.
And so I'll propose here an hypothetical structure, designed explicitly TV that they could've done or another studio could tackle in the future. Each season is a separate entity with a kinda self-contained plot, not unlike the MCU/ Star Wars approach and so each season could stand (mostly) on their own. And if they decided to back down, the story could be wrapped up a couple of seasons at any point.
OBVIOUSLY this will have some SPOILERS of the whole franchise.
- Season 1: The Witcher. Alternate title: "Geralt of Rivia". A recollection of short stories of both the Last Wish and the Sword of Destiny. Actually I think Netflix did a pretty good job here so I wouldn't change much. If so, take away the parts of Ciri and Yennefer and make this a only-Geralt story, from his point of view. That being said, if some corporate boss is reading this in the future, you can skip this part, since we already have 2 adaptations of the short stories.
- Season 2: Blood of the Elves. The first part would be an adaptation of the first novel, with maybe some new material concerning the witchers, their background and stuff. Specially Vesemir should be a focal point, as well Triss dealing with Ciri as a source. Letho must be included here for reasons you'll soon see. By the mid-point of the season Kaer Morhen is attacked, like in the series, but here I'll start including stuff from the games. The attack is being made by Salamandra, led by the Professor (later it will revealed that Vilgefortz had the role of Azar Javed, as they both obviously fit the same roles). Vesemir dies tragically, and it's revealed that Letho betrayed them. The second part is a mix of Blood the elves and TW1, with Geralt tracking the Professor down. The final battle will take place in Oxenfurt, with Shani and Philippa, but the Professor will replace Rience. The professor dies, thus marking an end to the season.
- Season 3: Time of Contempt. If the previous season focused on the witchers, this one will focus on the sorcerors. Yennefer's backstory should be explained here, not in season 1. I'd be fine with it including more original material since I think the books lack this. So basically Ciri's training, Codringher and Fenn... finishing with the Coup of Thanned, with Vilgefortz being unveiled as the one directing Salamandra, looking for Ciri knowing she's of the Elder Blood. Ends with Ciri escaping and Geralt having his knees broken and maybe losing his memory? You see why in the next season...
- Season 4: Assassin of Kings. Ok, here we go. IMO TW2 has the best story out of the three Witcher games and so this had to be here. But how could insert we this in the timeline of the books? Easy: instead of Foltest being killed, Vizimir is. And instead of Vernon Roche being Temerian, he's Redanian. He knows that Letho has done it, with the help of the Scoia'Tael and requests Geralt's help to track him down. The rest of the season happens like in the game, as Kaedwen also invades Aedirn in the books. Maybe Geralt goes with Vernon in the beginning only to change to Iorveth later on. Now you must be thinking, "why does Geralt help Vernon if he's not a suspect of killing Vizimir?" Well either he needs help recovering his memory, which aligns with the game and justifies this a side-story, or he knows Yennefer and Ciri have disappeared or believe them dead and Vernon has information about it. In the end he meets Letho, who explains that, like in the game, he was being blackmailed by Niilfgard and the sorceresses. Geralt says goodbye and, like the One Ring, heads south to find Ciri.
- Season 5: Baptism of Fire. We go back to the books and now, with knowledge that both the Professor and Letho recieved orders from Rience, who's in Niilfgard, Geralt assembles a hansa with Jaskier, Zoltan and company, Milva, Cahir, Regis and ĀæAngouleme? Tbh, I never cared much for Angouleme. She joined the group way too late and having a second ashen hair girl is a bit boring. This season is mostly an adaptation of the book of the same, only the parts with Yennefer and Ciri are scrapped to focus on the Geralt and his friends' adventures. Also, considering part of this book take place in Angren, a swamp in the no-man's-land, I'm thinking we could top this part of with the plot arc of the Bloody Baron, since it's one of the best parts of TW3, having a final boss battle with the Crones to mark the ending of the season. Don't worry for the Battle of the Yaruga Bridge, that will take place in season 7.
- Season 6: Tower of the Swallow. Now this season could easily be swapped with the previous one depending on corporation and fan's interests since they're largely interchangable. If the previous 2 seasons focused on Geralt, this one is Ciri's time to shine. Everything from her time in the desert, to the Rats, to Leo Bonhart and Vysogota of Corvo. Maybe add a prologue about the childhood of Ciri? One way or the other, the season ends with a boss battle against Rience in the ice and the titular Tower of the Swallow.
- Season 7: Thronebreaker. Just before the "finale", this season is the political plot. 80% of the season would be an adaptation of the game Thronebreaker, and if you haven't played it yet, just know it's probably my favourite Witcher story period. Also, it will obviously contain the introduction to the Lodge of Sorceress and the stories of Jarre and Shani in the battle of Brenna.
- Season 8: The Lady of the Lake. Again, an adaptation of a book. This time it will have stories of Yennefer investigating with the Lodge, Geralt and their friends arriving to Beauclair and Cirilla in Tir na Lia with Auberon and the Red Riders. As expected, it will have time travel (which is imo where the whole franchise starts jumping the shark). As you can imagine, the season ends with the climactic battle in Stygga castle, where Ciri kills Leo Bonhart and Geralt, Yennefer AND Regis kill Vilgefortz. And yeah Regis lives, he's the best part of B&W, I'm not letting him go to bring him back a season later. And obviously, the scene later with Emhyr, the bath and the knife and then him changing his mind.
- Season 9: Blood and Wine. After the climax of Lady of the Lake, the survivors head back to Beauclair. Only, instead of having to flee cause Jaskier is being hanged for cheating on Henrietta, the whole plot of B&W takes place, with Geralt being aided by the his new family. The ending would be a mix between the Land of Fables and the Unseen Elder stuff, but one way or the other Syanna will die, and this will cause Geralt and the others to be expelled from Toussaint. Also Ciri will be forced to use her teleportation powers to say Geralt from Detlaff, which she tried to refrain from using, kicking the next and final season.
- Season 10: The Wild Hunt. This will be a mix of the Skellige plot line and final part of vanilla TW3. Geralt and friends go around fleeing from the Wild Hunt and meeting old friends like Zoltan, Vernon or Letho, wilth Yennefer assembling the Lodge and Ciri travelling to Skellige to help Cerys and Hjalmar with the sucession plot. Obviously, this will end in a climactic final battle of everyone vs the Wild Hunt, Avengers Endgame style. Now, fully entering fanfic territory, apart of Crach an Craite, I think Yennefer should die here, killed by Caranthir, and so the funeral of both should coincide with the coronation of Cerys (yes, Cerys) as new queen of Skellige. In his scene a Niilfgard delegation will appear to participate in the celebration, as they're now at peace, but they will have an important message: Emperor Emhyr has died and he's stated in his testamen he wants his daughter Ciri to succeed him. Empress ending is canon in my timeline.
- Tie-in movie: Season of Storms? Idk, haven't read it, but if it's as good book and a standalone novel, it could be a good movie.
- 2nd tie-in movie+ epilogue: Hearts of Stone. My second favourite Witcher story period and another standalone entry, so it could be a movie or a miniseries at most. Taking place after Season 10, Geralt is still mourning Yennefer's death, and so I have an excuse to add Shani cunnilingus scene with no regrets. As for the ending, it's tough. Personally I went for the "bad ending" cause I want to keep the mystery and respect for the figure of Gaunter O'Dimm, but I guess a commercial movie would want to provide an uplifting ending. Personally I'd make a compromise: make Geralt defeat G.O.D. in his riddle game, but then there's a pogrom and Geralt canonical death takes place like in the books. Like a "you cannot save everyone" middle finger.
Now, none is this is seeing the light or day anyway, so at least I left this here for you to discuss.

2024.05.23 12:55 feverish_mushroom Can a company go back on something they agreed to?
My company was bought and my local office was closed. The new office is further away and it adds an extra 30-40 mins each way to my commute.
My previous contract was hybrid and it has remained the same since I joined the new company. However, as a result of the office closure the new company said (in writing) that our office attendance was reduced from the mandatory 3 days, to 2.
My manager seemingly doesn't care about this, stating that everyone in his team comes in 3 days. If I'd known this was the case I would have looked for other work. My old employees who are now in different teams go in 2 days a week, so I don't feel this is fair at all.
The problem is I don't have the agreement in my contract. I think its so one day everyone is forced into the office full time, so they've deliberately not stipulated anything. Is there anything I can do here?
I was at previous company for 3 years, in the UK.

2024.05.23 12:54 Obv-Throwaway49442 Here's a hypothetical situation for you
Before I get started, I would ONLY ever be passing by. I ain't moving there, I ain't running no "rescue operation" without a very explicit call to action that you'd never give anyway, and I'd be travelling with someone else and her dogs. Bark bark woof.
So one of my friends lives directly on the opposite side of no go land, 2.5 hours away from the end of the drive. No go land has a freeway connector that loops directly around, but it's always tempting to stay a night somewhere when making an 18 hour drive because I'm not completely insomniac like my mom. And naturally, I'm gonna want food. Now. I have no idea where you work, IF you currently work, or if you're just a full time cool leg student. But let's say you were working at McDonald's and you see my curbside order pop up on the menu.
Would you have preferred to know I was travelling through the area, prefer to just pretend you don't know me, do everything you can to avoid serving that meal, even though I would likely have someone else and her dogs in the car, or would you freak out and do worse? Keep in mind the other person I'm travelling with won't be able to recognize you, she's never seen you before.
No I don't do drive thru, you won't hear my damn voice over a comm box, and I'm not going up to the front desk to place an order when there's a perfectly good kiosk to order from. At MOST you'll hand me food to pick up and that's it. Or I can send her in to pick it up if you tell me that it's gonna be a problem.
Fuck my overpreparing brain for a situation I'm trying to avoid in the first place. God. If I'm that worried I can just get Taco Bell, or stop BEFORE the no go land, or I can go for broke and cosplay and voice act Arthur Morgan and go "I'd like Two McDoubles, please?" Because sure, yeah, daydreaming brain, that won't get me shot on sight. You don't have to tell me I'm seeking fucking attention.

2024.05.23 12:54 Known-Candidate5258 I need to confess to my crush today, help me come up with a script!!!
So long story, I started senior year of high expecting nothing but a cruise to an easy degree. Then, our teacher announced the design class (for tech school, a school I go to for part of the day as a version of electives, while taking normal classes at my hometown school) next door has too many kids and some are moving up into our class early. Now I want you to think of your ideal partner. What do they look like, what do they act like, does their hair curl, do they sing too loud in the car, do the twiddle their thumbs when they're nervous, every checklist you could have for a partner.
And who walks in but Mr. Perfect. Every. Single. Box. Ticked. I didn't realize it at the time, I was too busy focusing on my high school degree to realize anything besides a passing, "Eh, he's kinda cute." But the week after, we did presentations with a randomly assigned group partner for an introduction project. He got to see the entirety of mine, but since I didn't know I liked him at the time, I'm not sure if he was paying any attention
When it came his turn for the introduction presentation, I got pulled out of class for some event I can't remember and only saw the first third of his. It was about then that I realized the first signs of a crush were blooming.
I don't fall often, but I've fallen so horrendously disgustingly hard for two people before him that I can recognize the stages of my new crushes. Brief interest and a random nagging feeling, slight blushes and widening eyes out of curiosity, interest, realization, suppression, explosion into full daydreaming obsession, a long time of obsession-depression-acceptance while making no moves besides brief 10 seconds interactions, a creepy amount of staring glances, letting go.
It was I'd say about October when I realized I was already in too deep, I was stuck in crushing waters with no sight of shore. I've never been particularly social, I've struggled with chronic anxiety since the age of 6, along with a lifetime of severe untreated traumas that have left me lacking faith in humanity, but stubbornly optimistic.
It was basically that cycle, constant thoughts, staring, occasional 10 seconds interactions like "standing near each other, holding doors, thank yous and your welcomes, guiding him to whatever art material he needed, occasional glancing, staring way too much at him, way too much daydreaming, learning his last name from a glance at his log in screen, finding an old Instagram from 2021 about him run by a friend of his, buying the same brand of mints, dressing better, caring for my body more, trying to be more social"
I did get some moments here and there, nothing movie worthy but everything to me, it basically became a tradition for me to briefly hold and open the door for him whenever possible, drills, walking out of school, etc. Never waiting too long, just a simple "Thank you!" and "You're welcome.", except if it seemed like he was upset or the wait was too suspiciously long so I'd just open the door as much as possible and hope he'd catch it, or take out my phone and pretend to be texting, so it was "Mhm." instead of "You're welcome."
I eventually got the chance to choose or suggest my seat, so as requested by my teacher, I asked to sit next to him, she put me closer, but my back faces him and we're a row apart separated by giant Mac Monitors so I don't think he can see me either.
Luckily enough, I actually had a vague conversation with him. He's pretty good friends with a girl I sit next to, I'd say me and this girl are probably vague good acquaintances? She's described her and him as friends, but she has a boyfriend. Anyways they were talking about their embarrassing exes, I only caught the tail end and heard that he had one that was a little cuckoo, he was smiling at her but went quiet about it.
Later on I saw him playing this unknown shooter zombie game on the school Mac Monitor, he was talking about something with her, when I somehow got into a conversation with him. We discussed something about Nintendo and how Nintendo 3DS was such a good console for us. He's a quiet but cool kinda guy, so I was a little too excited and rambled about how I lost 3 different 3DS and a bunch of 3DS games too, once on a bus. He turned and gave me a brief eyebrow raise and curious smile from his game, and asked me about it again. So I continued to ramble until the bell rang and our conversation naturally fizzled out.
I can't remember exactly when, but some time after that we had another interaction. I wear giant headphones all the time, and he wears tiny air pods all the time. We were hanging examples of our monthly assignment for presentations like we always do. I hung mine first, the girl next to me didn't even know I was the one who hung it first, so this is what makes it so interesting. He ended up coming to me, airpods out, smiling, saw me with headphones on, and asked me where the frames we use to hang our projects are. I was so shocked that I just blandly said, āOh, sure.ā Led him to the frames, crouching down I opened the drawer and just went, āHere yaā go.ā I remember him having this dreamy smile on his face as he thanked me, but I was kinda obsessing over my work at the time and just mumbled agreement and went back to work. Yes, I did beat myself for basically the entire week after realizing how dumb I was.
Eventually, Valentine's Day rolls around. Our Marketing class swings by and tells us they're selling Valentine's gift deals. Unfortunately, I have a 20$ bill I've been meaning to get rid of, the highest gift deal is 20$, and a crush. Unfortunately, unlike all the other schools, they don't deliver it anomalously, you have to deliver it yourself. (In this modern world? In this economy?) So dumb me, I buy the deal. A handheld heart balloon wrapped in ribbon with a cute bear keychain. I type up a heartfelt letter, place it on the ground in front of his locker, he ignores the strange gift on the ground, and I miss him by a few lockers. The second no one was looking I threw out the note and scrambled the gift into my backpack. Still have it.
Now we get to this week.
I've been dressing better than I ever have, taking care of myself physically and mentally, happier than I've been since I was an ignorant elementary schooler, distant but amiable in conversation with classmates, not too friendly but way less aggressive than I was at the beginning. Unfortunately, I know I've dug my own grave and it's too late to dig myself out, because I can feel the rising heat of magma beneath me.
We ended up doing a project that I need an Exacto Knife for (kind of a very small box cutter used for precise cutting work). It was optional, but helped more with cutting out the images we needed. Especially me, because I needed some pixel art for my project that had a lot of sharp edges and hidden corners a scissor couldn't get too. Our teacher was super busy since it's the last week of school for most of us, so she was rushing from person to person doing important stuff and I didn't want to interrupt, but we can't use an Exacto Knife without her permission, hormonal teenagers with an unsupervised sharp object is rarely a good combination.
We were at the same table, him on one side, me on the opposite. It's a bigger table no one uses except for big projects like this where your original desk space just isn't enough. He was also using an Exacto Knife for his project to get clean edges. He ended up moving to the āgluing imagesā part of his assignment, but still had the Exacto Knife out, the good one too, the one I was using yesterday. I end up asking him for the knife, gently tapping on the table space next to him so as not to startle him. I may have made a little too much eye contact, but he was gentle and let me grab it. After quite a while, I gave it back, same gentle table tap, gentle thanks. It wasn't long after, a few minutes at most, that I realized I was once again having issues with the scissors, and would need it again. I came over again and asked. He was gentle, I suppose, maybe a little suspicious since a barely invisible classmate acquaintance was talking to him for the 3rd time in a matter of an hour or half. He just said, āHey, why don't I sign the knife back in so you can sign it back out.ā I was surprised, but agreed shyly, and we spent the rest of the class doing our projects and although I caught us locking eyes a few times, nothing more than that.
Anyways, that was a very long ramble, here's some details I couldn't include. I came out as a Trans guy at the start of the year before he came to the class, but I still dress and style very feminine since I live in a very conservative area with questionably supportive parents who don't know, only my Design class knows, because there's like 5 other Trans kids there. I assume he doesn't know me as anything, but my Trans-ness, but I don't know. He seems straight, ex-girlfriend and all. I mean he's snow white, most brilliant blue eyes, dirty blondish brown hair that is so fluffy and curly. He dresses SO well, I can only describe it as like, cool city kid grunge maybe if you took a Spencer's, Converse, and Vans store and threw a boy into a store combined with those three. My point to remind you that basically all the boys around me are stinky conservatives who don't know what a razor or shower is. This man cleans suspiciously good. There's a girl who sits next to him, I think right from his perspective, as the only thing to his left is the door in and out of the classroom. Yaā know, the seat I wanted. They seem to be pretty good friends, I think. They only really talk when they need to, or mandatory group projects, but she's gotten way farther than I have in conversation with him, shared interests and everything. Know what's worse? We do this thing every year in my Design class called āNotes of Kindness,ā essentially a relationship for platonic Valentine's Day cards. We get a random partner assigned and have to give them something encouraging about them specifically. Guess who I got? The girl that sits next to him. I noticed she was kinda shy and insecure at the time, so I gave her a self portrait showcasing her heart and something about kindness. Apparently it had a surprising effect on her, as she started dressing way better and talking more, to him specifically. Jealousy is stupid and I always quell that feeling as soon as it appears, but it does drive me crazy she turned into the girl I wanted so badly to be. His birthday is November 20th, he turned 18 last year in 2023. Scorpio with a 1 day cusp on Sagittarius. I'm Sun in 26Ā° Pisces, cusp of Aries, Moon in 16Ā° Libra, Rising in 29Ā° Aries or Leo, Mercury in 16Ā° Pisces, Venus in 9Ā° Aquarius, Mars in 14Ā° Gemini, Jupiter in 18Ā° Scorpio, Saturn in 4Ā° Leo, Ur@nu$ (avoiding censor I.G.) in 11Ā° Pisces, Neptune in 18Ā° Aquarius, Pluto in 26Ā° Sagittarius, Chiron in Aquarius. I practice Tarot and watch Tarot videos, but unfortunately I'm kinda in this situation because of them. Blah blah blah focus on yourself, did that rocking it and enjoying it hard, blah blah blah he needs to do the same and confess to you but you also need to confess to him, but also he needs to do it. Just a lot of confusion with the online videos, and my guides really only answer me in a roundabout way that also just says focus on yourself.
Anyways enough of my journalizing. TLDR: Dumb Trans guy fell for a probably straight guy and now has to confess to him on the last day of school before graduation

2024.05.23 12:54 Pheromium A random stranger at the bus stop made my day
I was waiting at the bus stop for my driving instructor and went over to the trash can to throw away my gum. There was this pretty girl sitting on the ground next to it and she looked at me as I was heading towards her. I tossed my gum, went back to the bench, took a glance at her and saw her waving. I looked behind me to see who she was waving at and there was no one there. Then she got up, came closer to me and asked when a specific bus was supposed to arrive so I asked her where she's heading and checked the app. It said the bus was going to arrive in 3 minutes. It arrived even sooner than that so as she was going on it I told her "huh! It came earlier than expected!" Then she told me "you look beautiful both inside and out" and omg that was so heartwarming. I wanted to ask for her number but she rushed inside and I didn't make it but she sure left a huge smile on my face. I had a great driving lesson after that and I'd like to think it's because of the confidence and positive energy she gave me. Giving compliments to random strangers is really something I want to start doing now after this experience.

Its sturdy and sleek design perfectly fits the CZ Evo, providing a secure and comfortable grip. The black color adds an elegant touch to the gun, making it look even more stylish. One of the standout features I appreciate is the precise manufacturing of this grip. It fits the CZ Evo like a glove, with no wobble or imperfections. This attention to detail really sets it apart from other aftermarket grips I've used. Additionally, the grip's texturing offers a positive grip without being too aggressive, providing a balance that has been a refreshing change for me. However, there were a couple of downsides to my experience. Firstly, the installation process could have been easier, as the screws required a slightly more forceful tightening than I would have liked. This was a minor inconvenience, but nothing that would deter me from using the grip. Overall, I highly recommend the Strike Pistol Grip for CZ Evo. Its great fit, comfort, and sleek design make it a worthy addition to any CZ Evo owner's collection. Just be prepared for a slightly more challenging installation process. https://preview.redd.it/h01s1s8bp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff4fb46613e353116f63fde87106ff0cc3e5ea02 I recently got my hands on the CZ75/85 grips from handicraftgrips, and I must say, I'm really pleased with the quality and style of these grips. The smooth, resin surface is a perfect match for my hand, providing a secure and comfortable grip. The full-size grips fit perfectly with my CZ75 B, but I've heard they're also available in a compact version. One thing that I truly appreciate about these grips is the attention to detail in creating them. Each one is handmade, which shows in the precision and craftsmanship. However, it's a bit of a hit-and-miss, as the grips I received had some slight imperfections, which can be a downside for those who value consistency. But overall, I'm happy with my purchase and will definitely continue to use it for my CZ75 B. Don't forget to check out the handicraftgrips store for more awesome designs that could fit your hand and your CZ75 series firearms. https://preview.redd.it/uxibdmibp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4f8b9b8d306fd9c5c4ed9413a50ba8496c87243 I recently stumbled upon the Strike Enhcd Pistol Grip for CZ Evo, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my daily life. The pistol grip, crafted with a sleek black finish, instantly elevates the look of my trusty CZ Evo. It's not easy to find a pistol grip that feels as comfortable as this one in my hands. What I truly appreciate about this grip is its ergonomic design that makes long hours at the range or training sessions feel effortless. The textured surface provides a fantastic grip with no slip, even when my hands are sweaty. Its sturdy construction gives me the confidence I need when I'm out there defending myself or others. However, I can't say there weren't any cons. One minor issue I noticed is that the grip's installation takes some time and requires some toolwork ā but the added comfort it provides is well worth the effort. I also noticed that the grip is longer than the OEM one, which might affect the aesthetics of some users who are after a drop-in replacement without any visible difference. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the Strike Enhcd Pistol Grip for CZ Evo to anyone looking for an enhanced grip. With some time and perseverance, it pays off tremendously for the user's comfort and shooting experience. https://preview.redd.it/equfpd2cp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17fd88d0cb5d792533b8b41a5523083c51bdf281 I recently acquired a Rossi Small Revolver 38 Special and was searching for the perfect grip to make it easier to hold and shoot. I stumbled upon the Pachmayr Compac grip, and after reading some fantastic reviews, I decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed was how soft and comfortable the grip felt in my hand, making it a vast improvement over the standard factory grip. The Diamond Plate texture provided great grip, even with sweaty hands, and the smooth edges prevented any unnecessary discomfort during extended shooting sessions. One of the standout features of this grip was its perfect fit on the Rossi revolver. There were no gaps or seams, and it wrapped around the grip frame with ease. Unfortunately, the weight of the grip was a little heavier than I imagined, which took some time to adjust to. However, it didn't affect the overall performance or ease of use. In my experience, the Pachmayr Compac grip made a world of difference in both the look and feel of my Rossi Small Revolver. It provided a more comfortable grip, reduced felt recoil, and improved accuracy. The price might be a bit on the higher side, but it's a small price to pay for the exceptional quality and performance this grip offers. Overall, I highly recommend the Pachmayr Compac grip for anyone looking to upgrade their Rossi revolver. It's a game-changer that will make a significant difference in your shooting experience. https://preview.redd.it/chdzwg9cp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2575be0a0f41b72688bdc8ff9b4b709fb1a3e656 The Gradus pistol grip from FAB Defense has been a staple in my daily carry-on gun. I've found that its reinforced polymer core with a textured rubber overmold provides a comfortable yet secure grip. The 15-degree reduced grip angle is perfect for those precision shots, especially during CQB scenarios. I also appreciate the slim ergonomic design and curved back strap, which makes for a more enjoyable and comfortable grip. The AR-style beaver tail adds a touch of ruggedness and makes it easy to attach to any compatible firearm. Plus, it comes in a beautiful Flat Dark Earth color, which adds a touch of style without being overbearing. While it's not the cheapest grip on the market, I'm willing to pay a bit extra for the quality that FAB Defense provides. However, my only complaint is that it doesn't come with a mounting screw, which might be a hassle for some users. All in all, it's a top-notch grip that's worth considering for your next firearm purchase. https://preview.redd.it/0q9dz5lcp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03424969dab6152e5444f9217504ff3ceed3575f I recently added the BCM Gunfighter Vertical Grip to my daily carry, and I have to admit, it's been a game-changer. This short grip is a low-profile solution that gives me increased mobility and reduces the snag factor. The forward angle adds more rigidity to my forearm, providing a more natural wrist angle, which I found incredibly comforting during long shooting sessions. One feature I particularly like is the aggressive texture, which offers a strong grip while also featuring a generous storage volume. The modular design allows for future improvements and adaptations, making it a versatile addition to any firearm. I also appreciate the convenient cross-bolt design, which works with improvised tools for easy adjustment or re-tightening. The reversible clamps and spring-loaded clamps make installation and removal a breeze. Despite these great features, there have been a couple of minor drawbacks. The grip can be a bit heavy for some users at 0.25 oz, and I've noticed that it may cause some minor fatigue after extended use. Overall, I highly recommend the BCM Gunfighter Vertical Grip for those looking for a reliable, versatile, and well-designed vertical grip. https://preview.redd.it/mnlnmh5dp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6197a99669c7da88ed2cf56f04983ee844fe92f4 The Vism by NCSTAR AK Featureless Grip with Bolt and Grip Trunnion has been a reliable addition to my firearms collection. Designed specifically for firearms that require pistol grips for featureless builds, it offers a secure and comfortable grip. The thumb rest shelf feature is a welcome addition, providing better control and stability when firing. The black polymer construction is sturdy and well-built, with a textured grip that enhances the overall feel. However, one downside I've noticed is that the mounting grip bolt is situated at the bottom of the grip rather than the top, which can lead to potential issues when tightening it. Nonetheless, this product has proved to be a valuable asset in my daily life as a gun owner, and I would recommend it to those seeking a reliable and featureless grip for their firearms. https://preview.redd.it/eap536bdp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d353ae0dfdaeeae0273d266b887f706b36b56f4f As a satisfied user of the BCM Gunftr KAG FDE MLOK grip, it has been an incredible addition to my arsenal. The Flat Dark Earth finish perfectly matches the rest of my equipment, and the grip's MLOK compatibility ensures a seamless integration with my system. The biomechanically efficient forward rake design enhances my weapon manipulation and provides relief to my wrist, elbow, and shoulder during extended shooting sessions or drills. There have been no negative experiences to note, making this product a 5-star choice for those needing a reliable and comfortable grip. https://preview.redd.it/pqe52cqdp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03b0c0f44d6dfce548b661642d4b54ef2cfeef2b As a gun enthusiast, I've had the privilege of using the BCM Gunfighter Grip Mod 3 in my daily life, and I am excited to share my experience with you. I couldn't be more impressed with this grip's performance and design. To start, the unique angle of the grip makes it much more comfortable for me as it puts my wrist in a more natural position. It's perfect for those long shooting sessions where wrist fatigue is a concern. I also appreciate the reduced gap between the trigger guard and pistol grip, which significantly improves ergonomics and trigger control. The extended forward tang and "beavertail" style back strap are small details that really make a difference in overall grip comfort. One of the standout features for me is the hinged storage compartment inside the grip. It's a fantastic, water-resistant feature that has come in handy more than once. I find myself storing smaller essentials like screwdriver bits, spare batteries, and even a pocket mirror, all protected and secure in this little storage area. There are a few downsides worth mentioning. First, the grip can be a little tight to install on a lower, and I found myself having to file off a small amount of plastic from the protrusion under the handguard. However, this was a quick and easy fix that didn't take long. Second, the grip can be a bit noisy when the hinged compartment rattles around ā a minor inconvenience but one that hopefully can be addressed in future versions. Despite these small negatives, I wholeheartedly recommend the BCM Gunfighter Grip Mod 3 to fellow gun enthusiasts looking for a comfortable, functional, and stylish grip option. This product has truly enhanced my shooting experience, and I'm confident it will do the same for others who give it a chance. https://preview.redd.it/8d84dpdep52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a41ebcc634e23ef27193e85573627b7d09ae85db I recently had the chance to try out the BCM Gunfighter Grip Mod 3, and I must say, it was a game-changer for my shooting experience. The grip itself is comfortable and ergonomic, offering a great angle that improved my trigger control. One of the standout features was the hinged trap door with a water-resistant rubber gasket, which provided ample storage space for small items. However, there was a small drawback I encountered. The bottom of the front strap had some sharp edges that required minor sanding or filing to create a smooth finish. It wasn't a major issue, but it did catch my attention when using the grip for the first time. Overall, the BCM Gunfighter Grip Mod 3 delivered a noticeable improvement in my shooting experience. The comfort, ergonomics, and storage capabilities make it a winning choice for both beginners and seasoned shooters. https://preview.redd.it/mr35nrjep52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=030417da9c6511e05c639edbcf5ace37d2400723 EZR Grips' SIG 228/229 Gauntlet in Black. This black matte grip is made from Sorbothane material, offering a perfect fit for my Ruger Sr22. The no finger grooves are a nice touch, as they allow for a comfortable grip without any unnecessary friction. The checkering is also non-existent, providing a smooth surface that's easy on the hands. The SIG 228/229 Grip It Tube, made in the USA, adds a touch of pride to owning this product. However, it's a bit larger than expected, which might be an issue for those with smaller hands. Overall, an excellent grip for the price. https://preview.redd.it/bih4ibwep52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6379750e1d3f6e58f1e021540e9b3ebcfee60901 As someone who values both style and function in their firearms, I recently tried out the SCT X65 Sharktooth Grip Module for my Sig P365X. The frame's unique hybrid design immediately caught my eye ā a perfect combination of a custom stipple and a comfortable grip. But what truly sets this grip module apart is the material it's made from ā monolithic 7075 aluminum stock, known for its exceptional durability and ruggedness. This grip module didn't just hold up in my daily life, but stood strong during my most intense firing sessions. One feature that I appreciated was the modified picatinny rail, allowing me to easily add and customize various accessories to my firearm. Not only is this useful for personalization, but adds an extra layer of practical functionality. However, one downside I discovered was the narrow fit for certain users with larger hands. While the fit worked well for my hand size, those with bigger hands may find this grip module uncomfortable. Despite the minor cons, the SCT X65 Sharktooth Grip Module proves itself to be an excellent addition to any daily carry setup, offering a perfect combination of style, functionality, and durability. https://preview.redd.it/peacupofp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8793dd80166f201ff91eff26c7463e19ed3082d4 I recently tried out the Pachmayr Compac grips for my Charter Arms revolver, and I have to say I'm impressed. The grips are made from a special rubber compound that offers a secure, non-slip finish, even in the most challenging weather conditions. One of the standout features is how the grips are designed to maintain concealability. This is especially important if you're carrying the gun for self-defense or in situations where discretion is key. The open-back design allows for a more comfortable grip without making the overall gun feel too bulky. However, there is a downside to this design. Despite being smaller, the grips may not offer the same level of control for users with larger hands. While they are designed for concealability, some users may find them too compact. Despite the smaller size, the grips provide excellent control and maintain a solid grip even during high-impact shots. The overall feel of the grips in your hand is comfortable, and this makes them easier to carry and use throughout the day. In conclusion, the Pachmayr Compac grips for Charter Arms are a solid choice for gun owners seeking a secure, comfortable, and concealable grip. Their high-quality design and performance make them a worthwhile investment for anyone who values the features and benefits they provide. https://preview.redd.it/4j7ndkpfp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfae0887d0848b585194dcb63cedb8baea317f43 I recently tried out the WTB CZ Control Clamp-On Grips in tan with a black clamp, and it's been a game-changer for my biking experience. The ergonomic shape of these grips is truly inspired by how our hands naturally grip handlebars, which works wonders in preventing numbness and maintaining a comfortable grip. The tapered internal sleeve also plays a crucial role in eliminating the annoying twisting that occurs in other ergonomic grips. The single clamp design is surprisingly efficient, yet compact, making it the perfect choice for bikers looking for a reliable and comfortable grip. One of the key features that stood out to me is the soft compound of these grips. It not only adds cushion and traction to your grip but also provides optimal feedback for an enhanced riding experience. The enclosed rubber end further enhances grip comfort and overall performance. However, one downside I noticed was that the tan and black clamp color combination might not suit everyone's personal preference. Nonetheless, for those who appreciate functionality over aesthetics, this grip is certainly worth considering. Overall, I highly recommend the WTB CZ Control Clamp-On Grips if you're on the lookout for a comfortable, ergonomic grip that will have you cruising on your bike for hours without any discomfort. https://preview.redd.it/dqt8ruigp52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a8dba0d2438518eeaea81159851c1d007f3b99f I decided to give the Pachmayr Colt D Frame Post 1971 Compac Grip a try, and I must say, it was a game-changer for my handgun. The grip is designed to perfectly conform to the revolver, making it the most comfortable grip I've ever used. The "Diamond Plate" texture provides a non-slip surface and a better grip on the target, making follow-up shots more manageable. One of the most impressive features of this grip is its minimal impact on the revolver's size, unlike some other grips I've tried in the past. The rubber is firm enough to prevent it from snagging on clothes, yet it's not too rigid to make it uncomfortable to hold. The Colt D Frame Post 1971 Compac Grip has truly transformed my handgun, making it an extension of my hand during shooting sessions. However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. While the grip fits most Colt models like a glove, some users have reported that this grip doesn't fit their revolvers as well as the factory-issued grip. Additionally, the grip is available in only a few colors, so if you're looking for a range of design options, you might be disappointed. Despite these minor setbacks, overall, the Pachmayr Colt D Frame Post 1971 Compac Grip is a fantastic option for anyone looking to improve their handgun's grip and comfort. With its superior fit, non-slip texture, and minimal size increase, it has quickly become my go-to choice for a better shooting experience.

2024.05.23 12:52 BeardedBaldMan Repaint time - Powder Coating - Which do you think is most eye catching?
It's time to repaint the long distance/commuter bike which is currently black. I'm going to powder coat it and am limited to RAL Colours.
RAL 1026 - Luminous Yellow is a sensible choice
RAL 6038 - Luminous Green gives good side visibility at night and is also eye searing
RAL 3026 -Bright Luminous Red could be quite aesthetically pleasing while also being quite visible
Or I spend a bit more and source one of the new retroflective powders and have a black bike which reflect back headlights (similar to my spoke covers)

2024.05.23 12:52 Will_Hallas_I Beak - a homebrew item for my LMoP campaign
I am a fan of interesting stuff, that rather gives certain abilities instead of a flat +1 bonus. It gives more character to a magic item. So I homebrewed *Beak* substituting *Talon* in LMoP. I know, that this item is more powerful in general, but on the other hand I wanted to catch the spirit of a weapon that has just a little bit of sentience to develop a will to revenge their master and can grow with the progression of the character able to use this bow. By posting it here, I want to get a feeling, if this weapon is maybe too strong. *Talon* is a simple +1 sword. Handing it out at level 2/3 is already relatively powerful. I substituted this ability by giving *Beak* a +1 bonus just against orcs, a proficiency in perception and the possibility to use the bow in melee fights as a relatively weak melee weapon. For me it sounds balanced, but I am not completely sure of that. Because I like items that grow with the characters and aren't thrown away after the first better item comes along, I gave it two other stages that need to be reached. Maybe around Level 6/7 and 10/11. Just check out my homebrew at this link. I am curious to hear your comments.

2024.05.23 12:52 YuriOtani Shared living anxiety
Hi all - apologies if this isn't the right subreddit.
I love living in a shared house, it give me the time and money to live in a more intentional way. To be practiced in community building, learning to negotiate with others, delicious shared meals, sense of family, being able to on a personal level really live what I believe in, reduce my impact on the environment massively. Etc etc...
However I am sure others can share a sense of anxiety that can come along with shared living. I thought after many years living with others I would have figured this out and sorted these feelings - but nope. In particular I am looking for advice or shared experiences of morning time. I guess in the morning when I go to the kitchen to make breakfast and have a cup of tea I am left feeling really bad and anxious, full of adrenaline. I will very likely bump into a house mate chat with them, offer them tea, ask about their future day. Then when they leave or I leave I feel full of worry and a busy head. I replay what we said, think about how they are feeling, worry if they looked sad, analysing if I said the right thing. It will derail my day and I will forget what I am meant to be doing and not be present with myself.
I am writing this after a morning where everyone is actually away. I feel calm and thought about things that inspired me to write. I actually opened the front door and realised I could drink my tea whilst listening to the birds, even though I'm rushing I felt I could spare a few minutes. I know that sounds minor but that sense of calm is so rare for me lol.
I dont know why this happens, I just want cozy mornings with my housemates full of tranquility and a sense of lucidity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

2024.05.23 12:51 gorikun What are the IP clauses for Talent Investor companies like EF and Antler? Are there any Downsides?
TL;DR: been accepted into a talent investor organisation however I have concerns over their contract regarding IP and waiving certain rights. I'd love to know if similar organisations such as EF and Antler have similar IP clauses IN THE UK.
Long version:
I've been accepted into a Talent Investor organisation in london similar to EF but much smaller scale (they have raised ~Ā£40million in 5 years and just based in the UK targeting specific fields, whereas EF/ Antler are much larger scale and tend to beindustry agnostic).
1 of the reasons I am hesistant to sign up for them is because of their IP clauses. From what I gather, IP I have developed before joining the programme will belong to me but anything during it would belong to them...which they'll give back to me under "certain circumstances". Currently I have a few drawings and wireframe prototypes which I am not worried about, however I am worried about developing them further as I am unsure if developing the product would be classified as new IP or existing IP.
Because of this situation, Im curious to know if anyone who has been in a talent investor programme has had a similar clause in their contracts.

This isn't medical advice, so definitely see your doctor for any concerns, but here are some tips that have helped me: https://preview.redd.it/b8d8z6f7p52d1.jpg?width=4608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39d8974df66d57b79c7aa993f58fa5e985005bfc - We all love our screens, but staring for long periods can strain your eyes. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Sometimes we forget to blink enough, especially when focused. Consciously blinking helps lubricate your eyes and reduce dryness.
- Dehydration can affect your whole body, including your eyes. Drink plenty of water throughout the day!
- A healthy diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E is excellent for eye health. Eat leafy greens, colorful fruits, and fatty fish.
