2023.03.24 18:00 AzureBeast Respect Rune (Malibu Comics/Marvel)

Rune, The Dark God of The Void

"To rule the Earth as a God… To take life at whim… To drink the bloody despair of your enemies… This and only this matters!"
In the countless millennia before the dawn of mankind upon the planet Earth, there raged among the stars an imperious warlord whose insatiable lust for carnage destroyed entire races and cultures among the galaxies. With his victims numbering in the billions, he was known by many names among the thousands of empires he destroyed. Prince of Blood: His savagery in battle was but a prelude to his hedonistic rituals of eviscerating many of his victims and gorging on their flesh. Prince of Void: So called for the utter desolation left in his wake, relentlessly razing entire cities to smoldering husks. The Dark Lord: Finally defeated in a spectacular battle that raged for five hundred years, the bloodied prince fled to Earth, a planet still in its infancy, where among the burgeoning clans and tribes of early man he was worshiped as a god. Here, in hiding from his galactic enemies and in need of life-sustaining energy he fell victim to the withering power of the hydrogen bomb. Riddled with disease, the once conqueror of the stars themselves now struggles to defeat the scourge that consumes his ravaged body. We know this creature as... RUNE
In short, Rune is an evil space vampire god who likes to eat peoples' life energy, especially superhumans (called Ultras in his universe), and wants to conquer Earth and then eat everything on it.
Note: Rune has suffered from various debilitating conditions at different periods of time that leave him weaker than his normal state. Feats from these periods will be marked with [R]

2023.03.24 13:52 autotldr COP28 could set global renewable energy goal: Danish minister

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 25%. (I'm a bot)
This year's U.N. climate talks could set the first ever global goal for renewable energy - so long as everyone is on board.
At a meeting in Copenhagen this week, ministers from 43 countries discussed the prospect of establishing the target at the COP28 conference in Dubai at the end of this year, Danish Global Climate Policy Minister Dan Jørgensen told POLITICO. "Maybe it is possible for the first time in the COP process to have a text that actually ends up concluding specific targets for the world on renewables," Jørgensen said.
"The talks are also set to feature a tussle over an agreement to phase out fossil fuels. Jørgensen said a renewable target could make that more palatable and"would be an extremely important signal to send both to countries, but also to the markets.
The head of the International Renewable Energy Agency, Francesco La Camera, told the meeting that a goal of 1 terawatt of annual growth was necessary to meet the world's climate goals.
Later on Thursday, Argus media reported that Germany's State Secretary and Special Representative for International Climate Policy Jennifer Morgan was also pushing for such a global target for renewable energy.
The United Arab Emirates COP28 presidency did not respond when asked whether the global goal was being considered as part of the final conference deal.

2023.03.24 00:16 Rezzak83 Are the Sha'tar Draenei members from the Army of the Light?

Edit: Just some updated thoughts, original post is below. This is into the question of who the non-Naaru members of the Sha'tar are, for example the four guards around G'eras, or the forces at the Sha'tari base camp. The TL'DR of this is that while there's not direct evidence for either, I prefer to think of them either as AotL members that came with A'dal, or as remnants of the original Sha'tari order under the Council of Exarchs. You really can just skip all this though as the simplest and likely answer is that they're just random Outland citizens that joined up.
AOTL: My original thought is that they would have brought some AotL Draenei with them. Unfortunately there's not much supporting evidence for this, as the original replies have emphasized to me that the Naaru did come alone. However, I think it makes for a pretty reasonable retcon or personal interpretation. It's not clear what a healthy N'aaru can do on their own but we've seen multiple times that they are completely helpless when injured. They're great sources of wisdom and inspiration, but probably want an operations team. We know that the AotL resources were too limited to send real military force, but it's feasible that they would bring some minimum security forces, artificers to maintain and/or pilot the ship, general attendants, and a sort of "street team" to herald their arrival.
Sha'tari Order: When Velen arrived on Draenor after fleeing Argus, he created the Council of Exarchs (4 orders, then later 5). One of these was the Sha'tari under Exarch Othaar (later Socrethar) who were tasked with studying the injured D'ore in Auchindoun. As far as I know this occurred in both MU and AU. The formation of this group made sense, as the three N'aaru who initially rescued the Draenei from Argus were injured, killed, or void-ified during the crash. At this time there were no "intact" N'aaru to guide them, so getting what they could out of D'ore would have been a priority.
Sha'tari Order AU: Looking for clues to the organization in the AU doesn't yield much. They share the MU origin as researchers into D'ore, but I couldn't find any reference to "modern day" D'ore in the WoD. The order during WoD continues to be led by Othaar; however, it's scope appears to have changed entirely to be focused on the defense of Shattrath city, which doesn't make much sense as an iteration from their origins as researchers whose main concern was in Auchindoun.
Sha'tari Order MU: I couldn't find much information about what became of the Sha'tari order after the genocide of the Draenei by the Orcs and the explosion and occupation of Auchindoun. The order most likely couldn't continue to access D'ore for their research. They may have dispersed altogether, or continued smaller scale research under the protection of the Aldor or other Draenei successor settlements. Some probably turned to the legion along with their leader Socrethar.
It's possible that when the A'dal Sha'tar arrived, the remnants of this order would have been the first to rally behind the new N'aaru and become the inner circle to A'dal. With their expertise and interest in the N'aaru they would make ideal liaisons between the peoples of Draenor and their new benefactors and could have been responsible for the faction being called Sha'tar. The modern organization certainly has a much wider mandate than pure scholarship, as their goal is to inspire and mobilize military action from the people of outland, as well as acting as the governing body and defensives forces of Shattrath. Regardless of the origins of the Draenei members, we know that the Sha'tar cooperated with the Sons of Lothar and bolstered their troops with other races.
Sha'tar vs Sha'tari nomenclature: The only place we see "Sha'tar" is in regards to A'dal/O'ros/M'uru and the mortal races comprising their faction. We see the term Sha'tari often, and perhaps it has multiple meanings, with one being "pertaining to Shattrath City" as in the Sha'tari Base Camp (though comprised of Sha'tar members), the Sha'tari Skyguard as an aerial defense force for Shattrath, and the modern Sha'tari Defense Force on AU. However, we also see Sha'tari used for the order devoted to N'aaru scholarship. In this usage I think the term instead means "pertaining to the Sha'tar." Since this order predates the arrival of A'dal, it makes me think that "Sha'tar" could be a general term that was used as another name for the N'aaru by the Draenei. This would explain the use of the term for the original order, as well as why A'dal would have adopted/received that identity as its faction name in BC.

Thanks for reading. When will daily server maintenance end! Argh!

OP: Continuing my fascination with burning crusade, I'm curious about the rank and file Sha'tar members (appear to be mostly draenei) and if they arrived on Outland with A'dal, or were they recruited into the order once they arrived?
The wowpedia article seems to say conflicting things, that the 3 naaru Adal, Oros, Muru came from the Army of the Light, but no army of the light troops could be spared to be sent. However it also says in another sentence that Adal and his compatriots, the Sha'tar, arrived and assisted the Aldor in reclaiming Shattrath. So not clear to me whether just the naaru came alone or whether they also brought some AotL Draenei with them.
I think my head canon is going to be that the Draenei Sha'tar members did in fact arrive with the naaru, meaning they were a branch of the draenei that did not follow Velen but rather left with X'era to form the AotL. I think it makes a nice distinction from the Aldor, who represent portion of draenei that did flee Argus with Velen to Draener, but did not flee again with Velen to Azeroth. So we have these two Draenei factions who have not encounter each other since the flight from Argus reconnecting and working. I'm sure they had a lot to talk about.
So if I'm correct that also could mean that Sha'tar would have appeared as lightforged if that concept had existed at the time of BC.

2023.03.23 16:35 Basic_Bichette Rankin County [Mississippi] Jane Doe (1978) identified as Tonya Lea Wills-Mullins of Texas

On September 6, 1978, the body of a young woman was discovered in an illegal dump a mile south of the Byram Swinging Bridge in Rankin County, Mississippi. She had been bludgeoned to death and dumped a few days before her remains were discovered; although partial fingerprints were recovered she couldn't be identified at the time. Unidentified Wiki says that her cause of death has led police to believe that she was murdered by Samuel Little, although they also thought she was a missing woman named Wendy Byron.
It was announced today by the Rankin County Sheriff's Office that she has been identified as Tonya Lea Wills-Mullins, originally of Potter, Texas, who was only 22 years old at the time of her murder. The identification was made by Carla Davis, who is now the Chief Genetic Genealogist at Othram Inc.; Ms. Davis also paid for the exhumation of Ms. Wills-Mullins's remains.
Mrs. Wills-Mullins's husband and mother have since died, but she's survived by two daughters as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as her mother-in-law. As I write this there aren’t any local news stories about her identification but an obit has been posted by Dignity Memorial, which apparently owns the cemetery in which her remains were originally interred.

2023.03.22 23:20 GigiJewels My only friend died and I can't move on

My best and only friend of 8 years passed away unexpectedly 4 months ago. I mean it when I say my only friend, there's no other acquaintances or people that I even talk to. For the last 8 years she's been my only true friend and as you can imagine we spent a ton of time together and shared so much of our lives. 4 months ago I got a call from her bf telling me she was in an induced coma. I spent the week going to and from the hospital to stay with her even though she was unconscious. When they pronounced her brain dead I still went to stay. All the way up to her honor walk I'd be with her even though I knew she was already gone. Her family didn't do much of a funeral, it was more of a small memorial gathering. There was no mention in the obits or anywhere online about her. No people on social media making posts and celebrating her life. It made it feel even less real to me since I couldn't see it in words. The first weeks were full of denial and then the full range of emotions: anger, sadness, guilt, hopelessness. I tried to think about the good times but it turned into an obsession where it was all I could think about or do. Racking through old photos and messages. Watching our favorite movies and playing our songs. Journaling constantly; the good and the bad. I became more depressed as the weeks went by and the realization came that I'll never be able to see her again and that our whole past together now meant nothing because there was no one else to remember it with. I began to fear my own mortality, worrying about dying every time I left the house or got sick. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. At the same time I almost wanted to die so I could be with my friend, so both of us wouldn't have to be alone. It felt pointless without her. I started seeing a therapist, trying some medications out, pushing myself to get out and meet people. I'm just struggling. I don't want another friend, there'll never be anyone like her and she was perfect to me. Like the other half of my soul type shit. I don't know how I'm going to move on. I know I need to at least meet new people but I feel like too much of a wreck. Any advice on how to get through this would be much appreciated.

2023.03.22 09:24 Hot_Tailor_9687 It's finally here. The Finale of Total Drama Fandom Island

They woke up in an old shack in the middle of Boney Island.
"Darn, we should've been on guard for shenanigans" said Jason.
"Is it really just us left?" asked Sasha in wonder.
"Yep, we're the Final Four, I guess" said Amethyst.
​
Amethyst: Wow, the Final Four. I can’t believe it, I’m so close!
Jason: I think I’m pretty much in the clear now. I just have to steel myself for any squeamish challenges, and that one million dollars is as good as mine!
Mabel: This is all so exciting! I bet Dipper and the others are going crazy seeing me here in the finale!
Sasha: Everybody left earned their place here in the Finale. Now, I’ve gotta give it my all and earn that one million dollars!
They stretched and warmed up, and met up on the beach. Jason figured out by flying up that they were on Boney Island. Jason tensed as he heard movement in the bushes.
Chef emerged in warpaint. "Campers! I am proud to say you have made it to the Final Four! Your most grueling challenge will now commence, and here's how it all starts: The first leg is a race back to Wawanakwa, but there's only one canoe here on Boney Island: A map of the island shows where the canoe is and I have the only copy. You have to beat me before-"
Mabel knocked him out cold with the grappling gun. Sasha shook her head in amusement. "Kakashi-sensei, you're not, Master Chief, but we will not fail you or your training. Sasha grabbed the map, scanned it and then ran off into the jungle, her gear letting her glide among the trees.
Chef had to smile as Sasha disappeared into the jungle. The other three finalists quickly gave chase. Jason and Amethyst, with their powers now back at full, raced away into the thickets, while Mabel used her grappling gun to make like Tarzan and glided from tree to tree.
Sasha found the canoe first, but she realized it was too big for her to carry alone onto shore, so she thought of a plan. Jason and Mabel arrived soon after, and Sasha thought of a plan.
“Guys, with her powers, Amethyst is the one to beat. We’ve gotta team up against her or else she’ll flatten us!”
Jason nodded. “That makes sense, Sasha. Alright, it’s three against Amethyst”
“Hooray for conniving!” yelled Mabel.
Sasha: I needed to know if I was as good at manipulation as my fellow Corpsmen. I needed to see if I was powerful enough to twist their minds and make them fight each other. Especially Jason and Amethyst. They’re practically gods compared to Mabel and me.
They made it to the shoreline. Mabel hopped on as Sasha and Jason pushed the canoe into the water.
“Aren’t you guys forgetting someone?” asked a voice behind them.
Sasha froze. Even Jason was tense. They were not fighting some villainous enemy, either of them. They were conniving against someone who had been a friend to them.
No! yelled Eren’s voice in her head. This is a competition!
Amethyst laughed. “Oh, I get it. Welp, it was fun pretending we were all in this together, but I guess now it’s time to let the rocks tumble”
“We don’t wanna fight you, Amethyst!” Sasha yelled.
“Oh, I wouldn’t want to fight me, neither!”
Amethyst morphed into a gigantic wrestler, and sucker punched Jason just as he flew in to try and poof her. He sailed backwards into the sand and landed with a sickening thud. Sasha screamed, but Mabel was quicker. She aimed and fired her grappling hook at Amethyst’s leg, entwining it in its cord. Sasha grabbed onto the gun and pulled with all her might, sending Amethyst tumbling over them, pushing the canoe into the water.
The canoe drifted away back to Wawanakwa, leaving Jason and Amethyst behind.
“Whew. I’m glad it’s just the two of us, Mabel! We were screwed if those two got a foothold on us.”
“Yeah. Thanks a lot, Sasha!” They paddled as hard as they could towards Wawanakwa.
Chris: Wow! Our underdogs are really kicking it in all cylinders! I’m here at Wawanakwa with the families and friends of our four finalists. They’re here to give them all the cheering and support they’ll need to win! Let’s start with Amethyst’s family from Beach City. Sierra and Topher, you’re on!
Sierra: Thanks, Chris! We’re here with the Gem Community from Beach City here by the campfire!
Topher: That’s right, Sierra. Pearl, we know you didn’t expect Amethyst to win the Wildcard, let alone make the Finals. What do you and the rest of Beach City have to say?
Pearl: Oh, Amethyst, we are so proud! You held your tongue and got by using your wits! Now, there’s only four of you left and I know they don’t stand a chance against OUR Amethyst!
Garnet: Show them the might of the Crystal Gems
Peridot: GET ‘EM, AMETHYST, YOU CAN DO IT!
Bismuth: You got ‘em on the ropes, Deep-Cut! Knock them out!
Steven: Everybody at the Kindergarden’s cheering for you, Amethyst!
Carnelian: Go, sis!
Skinny: You rock!
Holly Blue: Go, Earth Team! Ugh, what am I even saying?
Jasper: SHOW THEM WHAT EARTH GEMS ARE MADE OF, AMETHYST!
Blue Diamond: (on a holoscreen) Do us proud, Amethyst!
Yellow Diamond: Divide and conquer them, that’s the way to do it!
White Diamond: Is this some sort of Earth entertainment activity? How delightful. Go for it, Amethyst!
Spinel: We’re sending you virtual hugs from light-years away!
Ronaldo: I knew you were a lock on for the finals, Amethyst! All the theories were pointing at you!
Beach City Citizens: AMETHYST! AMETHYST! AMETHYST! AMETHYST!
Topher: Wow, what a crowd! Let’s go see Jason’s demigod comrades from Berkeley, California! The floor’s yours, Brick. Jo and Dawn!
Brick: Oh, we’re on? I was busy looking at those cool Roman phalanx formations!
Dawn: Can’t we settle this peacefully?
Jo: Speak for yourself, Granola Girl. I want to sign up with these guys. They’ve got gyms, tracks and hot baths! Say, I’m pretty sure I’ve got the bloodline of some Roman god in me, could I join you?
Hazel: I can certainly see Victoria or Mars in your blood. We can talk about your application after this
Brick: I’m losing my mind over these formations
Frank: Thanks! I drilled them myself
Dawn: What would you like to say to Jason? I can hook you up telepathically
Hazel: All we want to say is we’re proud and honored by our great former praetor, and it’s great to see him again so… er… full of life
Percy: You’ve got this bro!
Annabeth: Winning this silly TV show is a cakewalk for the hero who toppled the giants!
Leo: ZAP THEM, MAN, YOU’VE GOT THIS!
Piper:…
Nico: Give her some room, people….
Coach Hedge: Man, what a bunch of delinquents! Put them in line, Grace!
Piper: No matter what, you’ve already won in our book (literally), Jason.
Roman demigods: intense cheering
Jo: Yeah, now that’s a cheer! Spartans! Awoo! Awoo!
Dawn: Back to you, Chris
Chris: Thanks, Dawn. Up next is Mabel’s Gravity Falls family. Dakota and Sam, take it away!
Dakota: I’m here with my friend at the Future Celebrities Club Pacifica Northwest! What do you have to say to Mabel?
Pacifica: Omigosh, bestie, I’m so proud. Once you win this thing, you’re gonna be a flipping star! We are so getting ourselves a TV talk show after this! We’ll invite cute boybands from Korea and prank them with Soos in a monster suit hiding behind the sofas!
Dakota: That show concept is so fetch!
Sam: I already knew Soos from the online gaming circuit! Man, Mabel’s awesome! Got any words of inspiration?
Soos: Mabel! Don’t be scared to be nice! Be yourself! Don’t change your strategy now! That’s my takeaway from all the reality TV shows I watch
Grunkle Stan: That’s my granddaughter! She’s on TV!
Dipper: I knew you could do it! Just stay true to yourself, Mabel! You’ve got this!
Gideon: We won’t stop looking for a way to get Grunkle Stan’s memories back, baby! Winning this contest will go a long way!
Bill: is a statue
Dakota: How did that get there…
Bill: manifesting from the void. You call this entertainment? Where’s the fire? Where’s the dead contestants? Where’s the {REDACTED]? Come on, Chris McLean, they told me this was the craziest reality show in the multiverse, let’s get sickening! Oh no wait, I still can’t do anything. Oh well, those other campers don’t stand a chance against Mabel. She’s embraced chaos and it’s her weapon now. She’ll get the drop on them. Buy cryptocurrency! Bye! Dissipates
Dipper: Huh, even Bill had something nice to say
Wendy: That’s why Mabel’s gotta win!
Sam: Back to you, Chris!
Chris: Now, we turn to Sasha’s Survey Corps family!
Duncan: We’re here with the totally-rad Survey Corps to get their scoop on Sasha and why she should win this season
Courtney: If I had my way, we could totally turn this into a succinct discussion on social conditioning and the horrors of child conscription, but given the limited time, we can only ask the Corps on Sasha and her journey so far
Mikasa: I speak for everyone when I say Sasha got all the way to the finals because of her combination of strength in body and strength in heart. Even when her strength fails her, the friends she’s made along the way always have her back. That’s why she will win this
Connie: I know, right?! Either Sasha wins, or it’s rigged!
Levi: Just remember your training
Jean: We've got faith in you, Sasha. Go for it!
Zoe: The odds are in your favor, Sasha. This time, the Corps won't have to settle for defeat!
Courtney: Sasha's lucky to have such faithful friends! We now bring you back to the ongoing race back to Wawanakwa!
​
Sasha was flying in the air. She saw pieces of roast meat flying along with her, with smiley faces, beckoning her to take a bite. She gladly bit in, savoring the juices
“Ouch!”
Sasha shook her head. She was still flying, but not of her own power, but because Jason was carrying her. Then she had bit his arm.
“What in the Three Sisters?! Jason, where’s Mabel?!”
“She tricked you. Amethyst and Mabel have had an alliance since the Merge.”
Amethyst shapeshifted out of boat form as soon as she hit the shore. “Oh man! The look on Sasha’s face when she wakes up!”
“I almost feel bad,” said Mabel. “But I don’t wanna face Sasha in the Triple Dog Dare Challenge. She’ll cream us for sure”
“Oh, I’m winning that, through and through, but Sasha might threaten your spot in the Final Two, so we had to cut her loose”
Chris nodded. “Amethyst and Mabel, congratulations! You’re in the Final Three! It’s Jason vs. Sasha for the third spot!”
Sasha saw her prospects were grim. “Drop me, Grace. You deserve the final spot”
“I won’t do that. Romans fight fairly”
“OK, then I’ll duel you on the beach for the final spot. Corpsmen fight to the end”
“Deal”
They landed and squared off meters away from the shore, knee-deep in the water. Jason drew his coin and flipped it, and a sword materialized from it. Sasha drew her twin blades and squared off. Everyone on the beach was silent as the two giantslayers began their duel.
Both were speedsters in combat, but Jason had the advantage of having the power of the wind itself. He ran circles around Sasha, who was forced to parry and keep on the defensive. Demigods cheered for Jason while the Corpsmen urged Sasha to fight on. Sasha’s dual blades afforded her the opportunity to attack and block at the same time, but Jason gave her few openings. Jason’s advantage was that his blade carried his full force, while Sasha’s dual swords halved her attacking power at the benefit of raising range and versatility. Still, Sasha pressed on, forcing herself to lunge in and try to turn the tide on Jason. Steel clashed against bronze and sparks flew. Jason nicked Sasha in the arm.
Suddenly, something awoke within Sasha. Her grip tightened and she began to move much faster, with more force in her strikes. She began pushing Jason back. She began to flip, turn, feint and tumble in the air, the grace of her Corps training coming into full display. Jason began to betray signs of tiring. Sasha twirled, describing a helicopter in the air, blades teetering towards Jason, who parried with his sword.
This time, Sasha nicked Jason on the cheek.
“She’s doing great! She’s gonna win this for sure!” said Connie
Levi shook his head. “It’s over”
“What?!”
Annabeth Chase nodded in agreement. “Sasha was never going to win”
Leo scoffed. “I’m all for Jason winning, but how come you counting Sasha out like that?”
Annabeth rolled her eyes. “It’s so obvious”
Zoe nodded. “Look at them. Look at where they’re standing. A rather brilliant application of simple physics, really”
Leo scanned the area around them. The lake shone blue against the white sand.
The lake.
“Oh,” said Leo.
“Oh, shit,” said Connie.
Jason grinned. “You’ve given it everything you’ve got, Sasha, well done! Now, it’s my turn.” He stabbed the waters with his sword, wincing as the act reminded him of Caligula, and called down the lightning.
Sasha had no time at all to process what happened as the jolts of electricity raced across the lake and into her.
When she awoke, her friends were all around her, grinning and cheering.
“Oh, guys, I had the weirdest dream! I was on a reality TV show and I made it all the way to the finals, until someone fried me…”
Connie sobbed. “Oh, but you did! You did all of that, baby, you made it to the first ever finals of Total Drama Fandom Island and we are freaking proud of ya!”
“Well done!” Jean was overjoyed.
Zoe beamed, “You showed them the Corps are not to be underestimated”
Chris McLean entered the tent, and beamed at Sasha. “Sasha Braus, you are this season’s third runner up! Thanks to the ton of sponsors we gotten since going multiversal, we can actually afford to give ALL our finalists cash prizes! You’re taking fifty thousand dollars home!”
“Fifty thousa-“ Sasha was dazed. “Whatever are we gonna do with fifty grand?!”
“I’ll tell ya what we’ll do,” said Connie. “There’s like restaurants in this wonderful country where you can eat all the meat you want at a price! As soon as this show’s over, we’re hitting one of those restos!”
“Canada is so beautiful,” murmured Mikasa. “Even the Titans here are friendly, and covered in soft fuzzy fur”
“Hyperboreans are harmless unless you mess with ‘em” said Frank Zhang, peeking in from outside.
Three contestants remained. Jason joined Mabel and Amethyst and headed for the special stage erected by the staff.
“History repeats itself,” said Heather. “Three Gophers remain, and the last Bass places fourth”
“Who do you think will win the Dare?” asked Owen.
“Amethyst and Mabel are pretty unhinged,” said Gwen. “If I were Jason, I’d be very worried”
“The dude shoots lightning like a freaking Sith Lord. The Triple Dog Dare isn’t fazing Jason” countered Duncan.
“Campers, congratulations on making it this far” said Chris. “For your next challenge, we bring you the Triple Dog Dare! Your fellow contestants, even Sasha just now, have written down dares that you must beat, from Patrick to Sasha. Now, instead of a roulette, we’ll just run them down from Patrick to Sasha. Ready?”
“Ready!” said the three in unison
​
Amethyst: They’re in for it now, I didn’t come all this way to lose
Jason: I’ve been memory-wiped, hit by flying bricks and skewered in the back. Nothing is going to hold me down now
Mabel: No dare is too squeamish for Mabel Pines!
​
“Alright, who goes first?” Chris asked.
“Ladies first,” said Jason.
“I’m non-binary,” said Amethyst. “So Mabel’s going first”
Mabel bit her lip. Patrick was the first eliminated and his challenge was either going to be stupidly easy or stupidly impossible.
She shrugged. I’ve done both. “Bring it, Patrick!”
Patrick Star stepped forward from the Peanut Gallery. “Mabel, I dare ya to eat a Triple Patty Deluxe in one bite!”
“I’ll do it!” Mabel saw the juicy burger and realized how hungry she was. She opened as wide as her jaw would allow, crushing the burger a bit to shrink it, and shoved it in her mouth. She chewed hungrily, and swallowed.
“Good job! Here’s your present!”
“Thanks, Pat!”
Chris clapped. “Alright, Mabel. Now you get a freebie, and the next time you can use it to pass a challenge to someone else. The first to back out is ELIMINATED.”
“Cool”
“Now, pick who goes next!”
“Go, Jason! I know Bakugou has a special challenge for you”
Jason: Now why on Earth would Bakugou have something in mind for me?
Bakugou stepped forward. “Alright, discount Pikachu, I bought my friend Denki with me. The challenge is to short-circuit him before he does it to you.
Denki Kaminari stepped into the fray. “Hiya, I heard you can fly, too, on top of using lightning. Man that is so unfair!”
“Alright, let’s do this”
The two squared off and fired bolts of lightning at each other. The sparks flew in all direction, even making Amethyst’s hair puff up and Mabel’s braces to glow”
“Cool!” said Mabel.
“I needed the new hairstyle,” admitted Amethyst.
They both strained as the lightning surge moved back and forth.
Deku gasped in the audience. “Wow, Denki could actually match a demigod in electrical output!”
“That’s our friend right there, get ‘em, Denki!” yelled Yaoyorozu.
An explosion sent smoke billowing all over the stage. When it settled. Jason was still standing, while Denki had folded.
Bakugou smirked. “Nice job, punk. Here’s your freebie” Jason caught the party favor as Bakugou flung it to him.
“Jason, pick the next challenger,” said Chris.
“Amethyst? It’s your turn”
LSP flew in with a yellow, sour-faced creature. “Amethyst, baby, your challenge is simple. Kiss the Earl of Lemongrab!”
“A’ight, here goes nothing” She kissed him and felt her lips burn. “Oof, boy, you’re better than Fire Salt!”
“Mmmm, you have proven acceptable” said Lemongrab. “Accept this favor”
“Mabel! Your turn again!”
“Next round, we both pass it on to Jason. We have to force him to quit so it’s us girls for the Finale!” “Got it, Amethyst!”
Mabel watched Brian Griffin walk onto the stage. “Mabel, my challenge is this. Say something nice about my novel, Faster than the Speed of Love”
Mabel felt a shiver down her spine. “It’s nice you thought of the needs of the mentally-challenged in writing this novel”
“Why, thank you, I- HEY!”
Stewie Griffin ran up to the stage. “Yass, Mabel, slay! Drag his arse, okay, here’s your favor”. He dragged Brian back to the seats by the ear.
Mabel turned. “Jason!”
Hermione Granger stepped up. “Jason Grace. I have but a riddle for you. Three students sit at Argus Filch’s detention room. They are either Gryffindors, who always tell the truth, or Slytherins, who tell naught but lies. Student One says “All of us are Slytherins”. Student Two is mum. Student Three says “Exactly one of us is a Gryffindor”. Who is who?”
“I’ve heard this riddle before,” said Jason. “Student One is a Slytherin, since if he were Gryffindor, he would be lying, which he cannot. Since he is a Slytherin, they are not all Slytherins, otherwise he’d be telling the truth. Student Two is mum, which is suspicious, and Student Three can be lying or no. They cannot be all of either. If Three is a Gryffindor, that means Two is a Slytherin, since Three’s statement must be true if he is Gryffindor. If Three is a Slytherin, then Two must be Slytherin also, since if Two was Gryffindor then Three must be telling the truth, but then all three would be Slytherin, making One’s statement true, when we already know it’s a lie. Therefore. One and Two are Slytherin, and Three is a Gryffindor.”
“Brilliant! And well-reasoned. Alright, Jason, here’s your favor”
“My brain fucking hurts,” said Amethyst.
“You don’t have a brain, silly, you got some sorta microchips,” said Mabel.
“Can I eat ‘em? All that logic made my head hurt”
“Alright, Amethyst, you’re up again,” said Jason.
“I just said my head hurts! Sheesh”
Cyborg entered the fray. “Yo, Amethyst! BB over here wants to challenge your shapeshifting skills!”
“Bring it on, BB! I’m ready for ya, anytime!”
“Oh, word, Amethyst? Get ready, coz I am kicking your butt across the animal kingdom!”
The green and the purple squared up. They began slowly, mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, then picked up the pace, to owls, ravens, peacocks, dinosaurs, onto more complex animals, insects and fantastic creatures. Then Amethyst started morphing inanimate objects, to which Beast Boy threw in the towel.
“Man, I shoulda known better than to challenge you, sis! Here’s your favor!”
“Jason, next!”
Jason: I knew the girls were gonna gang up on me sooner or later. Welp, bring it!
Jett flew in. “Jason, think fast!” She dashed past him, and grabbed Piper and Leo from the audience.
“What the fuck?!” Amethyst gasped.
“What the heck is she thinking?!” said Mabel. “You can’t be lifting up demigods!”
Jett flew to the ceiling of the really-high circus tent, and flung Piper and Leo to the ground in opposite directions.
Jason’s calm smirk shocked everyone. Instead of making like Superman and flying to either of them, he willed the spirits of the winds to catch both of them and land them safely.
Jett beamed at Jason, though Leo tried to throw hands at her, and was intercepted by fellow pyro Phoenix (“Chill, fam, it was all planned out!”).
“I know when to cut my losses, but I’ll damn well try before I do any cutting”
Brimstone smiled in the audience. “That kid’s got potential”
Sage nodded. “He has the calmness and power of a storm”
“Mabel? Your turn”
Mabel breezed through Ponyhead’s Tiktok challenge, while Jason took Gray’s stripping challenge pretty well (“Walking around naked is a literal rite of manhood in Rome”), though several girls had to be restrained from throwing themselves at Jason and Piper had to be restrained from stabbing them. Jason passed it back to Mabel, who found the bugs Raymond challenged her to find. Mabel passed it back to Jason, who solved Lisa’s calculus problem pretty well (“I went to math college!”). Jason passed it back to Mabel, who had to outpun Sans, and took him down a notch with her keen wit. She passed it back to Jason, who did Seraphine’s KPOP song-and-dance number challenge (and once again made the girlies scream). Jason passed it to Amethyst, seeing Mabel could not be fazed. Amethyst nearly floundered on Baljeet’s trigonometry question, but luckily, her Gem did the math for her. Amethyst threw it back to Jason, and Gaara challenged him to a chess match, which he narrowly won. Jason went back at Amethyst, who beat Darcy at her own game when she challenged her to a makeover competition, to which Amethyst simply shapeshifted into what Darcy was wearing, but purple and sparkly. Amethyst passed back to Jason, and Jason beat Barry at a randomized 3v3 on Pokemon Showdown. Jason passed to Mabel, and Mabel had to beat Arthur in a jig-off. Mabel trounced Arthur and passed it back to Jason. Sasha’s challenge was simple: “Jason, Catch!”
Jason caught whatever it was Sasha threw. It was heavy, darned heavy, and it was pretty hot, so he dropped it, but quickly caught it again and again. Finally, Sasha said “OK! Timer’s up! You win!”
Jason unwrapped the heavy, hot object and frowned.
It was a hot brick with a smiley face and a note that said “Oh, kiss me again, Jason-senpai!”
Percy Jackson was cackling in the audience.
“Campers, you worked the house DOWN!!!” said Chris. “Not a single challenge passed off, so now, we gotta base it on how many favors you have!”
Mabel and Amethyst gulped. Their plan to take down Jason had backfired.
“Jason, you got nine favors! Congratulations, you’re in the final two!”
“Mabel, you got five favors, Amethyst, you got four. Congratulations, Mabel, join Jason for the final leg of the Finale!”
“Amethyst, congratulations on being the first wildcard contestant to ever make it to the final three! Well, unless you count Courtney in Action as a wildcard, (which she’s NOT, according to her own lawyer’s affidavit!). You are the second-runner up and you get to take home fifty thousand dollars!”
“Wow, awesome! This’ll help add new stuff at the Kindergarden! We can buy PS5s, or even-“
“Let’s do the budgeting at home, Amethyst,” said Pearl. “Congratulations, we’re so proud of you!”
“AMETHYST, YOU ROCKED!” yelled Steven.
“That’s my Gem in the rough! C’mere,” Sans joined them and proceeded to make out with Amethyst.
“I may have lost the season, but I got the skeleton of my dreams, baby!”
Heather gagged. “Ugh, get a room, you two!”
Alejandro countered. “Oh, but mi amor, you are the same! Third placers who bagged the perfect man for them!”
Heather scoffed. “I’m the lucky one in the relationship? You wish, Burromuerto!” Then she tackled him into a kiss on the floor.
Piper was next to gag. “Are you guys trying to summon my mom?! Please don’t, if she sees me with Jason, she’s gonna freak”
“Your mom’s already here in a way, pumpkin!” Chris said. “We often have coffee together as in-laws. She gives me juicy tips on how to milk all that lovey-dovey drama for all the ratings it’s worth! You guys, the Courtney-Duncan-Gwen love triangle drama was Aphrodite’s whole idea!”
Duncan gasped, Gwen’s eyes bugged. Courtney looked like she was ready to go full-on God of War, scale Olympus and strangle Aphrodite.
Sierra gasped. “What a twist! The fans are gonna go crazy”
“Well, Mabel? It’s down to you and me”
“Uh-huh. Ready to get pummeled, Sparky?”
Jason stopped a laugh. “Sure am. If I remember correctly, the last challenge is a footrace”
They stood there, facing the long obstacle course designed by the fallen twenty campers.
​
Jason: I am shaking. I never thought it would come down to Mabel and me. But I really want to win this whole thing for the Legion back home, so, sorry Mabel. I’m going all out.
Mabel: I can’t breathe right now. I can’t even move. Why did it have to come down to me and that ridiculously cute guy from California? I’m entering fight-or-flight mode but I know I have to choose to fight
​
“Campers! This is your last chance to win the one million dollars! Jason, you can take your coin and Mabel can take her grappling gun with her! The obstacle course is the final challenge and the first to reach the finish lines takes all. One last time, you two. DO YOU WANNA BE FAMOUS???!!!!”
They shot off into a sprint. Jason waded through jellyfish. Mabel dodged mini-landmines. Jason bounced off floating pink clouds, Mabel rode a muscular, genetically-enhanced pig, Jason rode a broomstick, Mabel dodged Batarangs, Jason grabbed a gun and mowed down training robots and defused the Spike and Mabel used Dimensional Scissors to get around a chasm. Jason dodged magical attacks, while Mabel swam like an otter across a pond.
They were neck and neck. Piper clutched her blade. Dipper hugged Waddles tight.
Jason rode a skateboard as nuclear waste dripped from the trees, Mabel dodged lasers and bones and skulls flying at her, Jason danced his butt off to activate a hovering bridge. Mabel activated a giant baking soda volcano, propelling her forward, Jason ran through quicksand, Mabel dodged shadows, Jason ran away from Beedrills, and Mabel climbed a mountain of burnt scones, Jason grabbed some Corps gear and rappelled down Sasquatchanakwa’s back. Mabel rode a pink Lion across the lake, punching Fang in the face as she passed.
Jason used his lightning to scare Lion off, throwing Mabel to the ground. Jason jogged past her, towards the finish line. Mabel pulled out her grappling gun and shot for the finish line’s pole. It latched on and she rocketed to the finish line, passing Jason at the last second.
“WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!” Chris boomed. “MABEL PINES, OF GRAVITY FALLS, YOU ARE TOTAL DRAMA FANDOM ISLAND’S FIRST EVER CHAMPION!!”
Jason Grace beamed at Mabel. “Great job, Mabel! You won against all odds. New Rome salutes you!”
Waddles ran up to Mabel and she caught him in a big hug. “Oh, we did it, Mr. Waddles! We won Total Drama Island!!!”
The other campers cheered.
“A jolly good show, Mabel!” said Arthur
“I knew you could do it, Mabel!” said Baljeet
“Mabel, that was awesome!” said Seraphine
“Not bad at all!” said Barry
“Impressive, and here I thought you’d be an early boot,” said Darcy
Demigods and the Gravity Falls citizens cheered wildly. Even the Survey Corps and the Beach City community hooted all around. All the audience from all across the Multiverse clapped in adulation.
“Jason Grace of New Rome, congratulations for being our First First Runner Up! You’ll be taking home one hundred thousand dollars!”
“We can finally afford those Temple renovations I was planning… well, I was planning until I died, so…”
Piper and Leo and the rest of the Seven ran up to hug Jason, or rather pile onto him.
“I’m so glad I came,” said Piper. “When I heard you got brought back from the dead just to compete in some reality show, I cringed. I really didn’t know how to react, where to start. I owed you, Jason, I-“
“You don’t owe me anything, Pipes. I’m happy for you. I want nothing more but for you to keep on being happy with your new life”
They hugged awkwardly, but sweetly.
“Hey, McLean! How about casting me for Season 2, eh?” said Leo Valdez.
“Or me, I really loved this whole season!” said Connie, hugging Sasha.
“Count me in if you’re casting Season 2 now!” said Peridot
“I’m open for participation, Mr. McLean” said Pacifica.
“Me too!” said Squidward Tentacles.
“And me!” said Natsu Dragneel
“What about me?” asked Ron Weasley
“You can’t have a season two without me!” yelled Jessie of Team Rocket.
“Chill out dudes! I’ve got Season 2 greenlighted and you can all email your audition tapes starting tomorrow!”
They all cheered. The Gravity Falls community carried Mabel atop them like a parade float, towards the lake. Percy Jackson smiled. “Think they’re gonna dunk her in?”
Annabeth Chase winced. “I hope not! It’s only fun when, well, you’re with that special someone”
“I wonder who’ll be in Season Two?”
“Wanna file for an audition, Seaweed Brain?”
“It’s one crazy show, but I like crazy sometimes”
Mabel thanked everyone for their support. “I’d never have won without all of you guys. My Screaming Gophers family, and the nice guys at the Killer Bass. Sasha, Arthur, Cyborg, Sans. All of you. I’m so happy I got to meet you all!”
“Oh, I almost forgot!” Chris cleared his throat. “We got the contestants to vote our Mr. and Ms. Congeniality for this season! Congratulations to Gaara and Seraphine!”
“I am honored. No one would’ve believed this ten years ago,” said Gaara, tearing up.
“Oh, you deserve it!” said Seraphine. “You’re a very sweet guy. Thank you, guys, for voting me!”
“You guys get fifty grand each! And that’s not all, everyone not in the Finals is taking home one thousand dollars TIMES the number of challenge wins you got in your entire run!”
Squidward laughed. “Patrick’s STILL not getting anything”
“He won the gift of friendship,” said Spongebob. “Didn’t ya, Pat?”
“That’s true!” said Sasha Braus. “Patrick, we’ll all fondly remember you and each other as we go back to our everyday lives!”
“There’s still one question that’s bugging me,” said Grunkle Stan. “Mabel, what do ya plan to do with your one million dollars?”
Mabel took the giant check from Chris McLean and thought deeply. “I’ve always wanted to expand your gift shop, Grunkle, and- WAIT A MINUTE, GRUNKLE, YOUR MIND-“
Grunkle Stan laughed. “It’s amazing what these Survey Corps scientists can cook up from the spit of a human-Gem hybrid and nectar from those demigods”
Mabel stared at her fellow finalists. “You guys, I…”
“It was horrible when we found out the price he paid to save you and the world from Bill Cipher” said Sasha. “So when we realized we had all the pieces to the puzzle of restoring lost memories, we jumped right at it!”
“Take it from someone who knows, Mabel. It’s a living hell knowing you should know about someone and not remember them” said Jason.
“Think of it as a prize from us for winning!” said Amethyst.
Mabel spent the rest of that day hugging everyone out of sheer joy.
Raymond purred. “Ah, all’s well that ends well, eh?”
Ponyhead beamed. “You bet, baby! Hey, Gorillanakwaz, hit it!”
Arthur Kirkland, Cyborg, Jett, Seraphine and Gaara hit the stage.
Arthur took up the bass, Jett the keyboard, Cyborg the drums and Gaara and Seraphine took the mikes, and an old, familiar tune began.
You never ever leave my mind
My sweet, sweet Caroline
Every time I look into your eyes, I feel like I’m alive
The whole island was vibing to the song and rocking to its melody
Every time I want to say hello, every time I want to stay, I go
Could never find the words to let you know, sometimes
You play my mind a million times
Mabel danced with all her friends, switching from Dipper, to Waddles, to Soos, Wendy and Pacifica, even Gideon. Sasha danced with Connie. Gems, Survey Corpsmen and demigod legionnaires joined hands in a circle and danced around the campfire. Jason waved as Piper danced with her girlfriend Shel, and suddenly, Jett came along and they began to dance, too.
Chris Mclean waved one last time at the camera. “Thanks for joining us here on Total Drama Fandom Island. Stay tuned for Season Two coming to you in May! Eighteen new contestants from all over the fandom multiverse will compete for the crown at TOTAL DRAMA FANDOMS SEASON TWO: FANDOM ACTION!

2023.03.22 07:21 Tigreal Patch Notes 1.7.68 - Org. Server

From The Designers

For the upcoming March season, aside from the usual hero adjustments, we've also optimized the gameplay of some older heroes such as Layla and Freya. We hope they'll be back with a spring in their step, ready to shine upon the battlefield!
We've also optimized 6 lesser-used equipment (Sea Halberd, Necklace of Durance, Twilight Armor, Rose Gold Meteor, Blood Wings and Thunder Belt) and 2 Battle Spells (Aegis and Revitalize) to hopefully make them more viable options in battle.
Additionally, for the upcoming Season 28, we will be launching a new Mythic system with a new rank, new Display Logos for Mythic ranks, and optimized the Mythic Points system into the Stars system. Reach 25 and 50 stars in Mythic to get upgraded appearances for Mythic stars.
We've also optimized the Placement Match experience and added a new Mythic Rank Exclusive Skin Voting system (avaliable after reaching Mythic rank, vote for 1 out of 6 heroes).
Added "Road to Mythic" challenges at Mythic rank that will grant the S28 Profile Namecard Background and Personal Profile Background. Reach Mythical Glory rank to upgrade them. Good luck in the new season!

I. New & Revamped Heroes

[Revamped Hero: Courageous Warrior - Minsitthar]
[Spear of Glory] and [King's Calling] are Minsitthar's core skills, so we've kept their gameplay the same (with some optimizations) in this revamp.
In addition, we've redesigned his Skill 2 and Passive to provide more damage and control to his kit. This redesign focuses on maintaining his roaming role while exploring the possibility of taking the Exp Lane.
We've also given Minsitthar a complete makeover. With this revamp, the courageous warrior shall reclaim his rightful glory!
Hero Features: A courageous warrior who excels in battle with spear and shield.
[Passive: Mark of the King]
Minsitthar's Basic Attacks and skills apply a stack of Mark of the King. Upon reaching 5 stacks, the next attack will detonate all Marks to deal a large amount of damage and stun the target, and restore HP to Minsitthar.
[Skill 1: Spear of Glory]
When pulling back his spear, Minsitthar will pull all enemy heroes in its path to him.
[Skill 2: Shield Assault]
Minsitthar holds up his shield, reducing incoming damage from the front for a period of time.
While in this stance, Minsitthar's Basic Attacks will hit all enemies in a rectangular area and have increased Attack Speed.
[Ultimate: King's Calling]
Minsitthar's Ultimate now prevents all enemies in its area from using all movement abilities.
Summoned Royal Guards can also trigger Minsitthar's equipment effects with their attacks.
Slightly increased the cast range.
Reduced the effect's duration.

II. Hero Adjustments

The following heroes have undergone significant adjustments in this patch: Joy, Freya, Layla, Wanwan, Badang, Esmeralda and Eudora.
The following uses (↑) (↓) (~) to indicate Buff, Nerf, and Adjustment.
[Joy] (~)
Joy has impressive durability, but her burst potential is a bit lacking in the mid-to-late game. As such, we're making it harder for her to gain durability while increasing her damage to fit her role as an Assassin.
[Passive] (~)
Removed the shield effect.
New Effect: Joy's skills now deal an additional instance of damage each time they hit a non-Minion unit.
[Skill 2] (~)
Max Uses: 5 >> 4
New Effect: Gain a shield when hitting on beat.
[Ultimate] (~)
Number of Skill 2 casts required to unlock: 5 >> 4
New Effect: Gain Physical & Magic Defense during Ultimate.
Damage increase after hitting on beat: 30% >> 40% (max damage when hitting all beats is the same)
[Freya] (↑)
While Freya has great sustainability, she plays more or less the same as other heroes that rely on Basic Attacks. So, we're making it easier for her to chain her skill combos, and in some circumstances, indefinitely. We're also improving the feel of Spirit Combo and Leap of Faith, and that of Freya's combos as a whole. Her shield and damage in the early-mid game have been adjusted to keep things balanced.
[Skill 1] (~)
Skill 1 is no longer enhanced by Sacred Orb nor does it cost any Sacred Orbs.
Can move through obstacles more easily.
[Skill 2] (↑)
Skill casts needed to trigger leaping strike: 3 >> 2
Reworked how the cooldown works: Cooldown is no longer triggered after the leaping strike, instead it triggers after not continuing to cast the skill within a certain period.
Slightly reduced the foreswing time of the leaping strike.
Airborne Duration: 0.5s >> 0.4s
Base Damage: 130-230 (+90% Total Physical Attack) >> 20-230 (+90% Total Physical Attack)
Final Damage: 156-276 (+108% Total Physical Attack) >> 26-276 (+108% Total Physical Attack)
Shield: 160-260 (+70% Extra Physical Attack) >> 60-260 (+70% Extra Physical Attack)
[Layla] (↑)
As a Marksman without Blink, Layla has trouble with survivability. We hope the following changes will allow her to kite enemies more efficiently and increase her skill cap. We've reduced a bit of her damage to balance these buffs.
[Basic Attack & Skills] (↑)
Greatly reduced backswing time to allow her to move and attack more efficiently.
[Attribute] (↓)
Physical Attack Growth: 9 >> 7.5
[Passive] (↓)
Maximum Damage Increase: 135% >> 130%
[Skil 2] (↑)
Changed the slow effect from mark detonations to a 0.25s AOE stun.
Only marks the first target hit.
[Wanwan] (~)
With fewer Weaknesses to hit, more players have been enjoying Wanwan, but it also made it harder for her opponents to counter her Ultimate. Therefore, we want to make it easier to escape her Ultimate while not affecting her power. After the changes, the locked target can more easily get out of lock range, and frontline heroes can move to block Wanwan's crossbow attacks to tank the damage. To compensate, we buffed Wanwan's damage, and how much she gains from Movement Speed bonuses in the early and mid game (Wanwan should get extra Movement Speed to take advantage of this).
[Passive] (↑)
All Weaknesses Hit Damage: 55-97 >> 70-112
[Ultimate] (↓)
Lock Range: 8.5 >> 6
Speed Boost while in the air: 10% Total Movement Speed >> 100% Extra Movement Speed
[Badang] (↓)
Badang has become too dominant in this version with the buff to Knockback effects. We've moderately reduced his damage in the early and mid game for balance.
[Skill 1] (↓)

Orb of Lightning bounce's Stun Duration: 0.6s >> 0.9s

[Equipment]

[Sea Halberd] (↑)
We don't want Physical Damage heroes to lose much damage output when using this equipment.
[Unique Passive - Punish] (New)
Increase damage by 8% against enemy heroes with more extra HP than you.
[Necklace of Durance] (↑)
Optimized the build path to better fit some mages and supports.
[Build Path]
Mystic Container >> Elegant Gem (Necklace of Durance attributes modified accordingly)
[New Passive] (↑)
Gift (the effect is the same as Elegant Gem)
[Twilight Armor] (Revamped)
We've noticed that most tanks focus on absorbing damage instead of dealing damage, so we've changed this equipment to help against burst damage and also made it more versatile.
[Unique Passive - Twilight] (Revamped)
When taking more than 600 damage in a single hit, the excess amount will be reduced by 300 +5% of Max HP. Cooldown: 5s.
[Rose Gold Meteor] (↑)
Rose Gold Meteor has been overshadowed by Athena's Shield, so we've changed its function to help heroes escape when the passive triggers.
[Attributes] (↑)
Physical Lifesteal: 5% >> 10%
[Build Path] (~)
Magic Blade + Dagger >> Magic Blade + Vampire Mallet
[Unique Passive - Lifeline] (↑)

[Clock of Destiny] (↓)
Reduced the survivability it granted to burst damage mages.

[Aegis] (↑)
Aegis works well enough to protect heroes with low HP in the early game, but the shield is too flimsy in the mid and late game compared to how much hero damage ramps up.
Shield: 750 + 50Hero Level >> 750 + 90Hero Level
Removed the effect of granting shield to nearby allied hero.
Cooldown: 90s >> 75s
[Revitalize] (~)

2023.03.21 14:11 QuettleQuornQuendra I depended on Clonazepam for a decade, leading to full blown addiction. I recovered fully using the Ashton Method.

This title reads like clickbait, or a phony testimonial, but I am just a person who's come here over the years to find community as I navigate diagnoses of mental health and neurodivergence. I have been deep in the alcohol use subs lately, but I wanted to pop over here to share my experience with benzo addiction and recovery. In fact, it was my successful taper off benzo's, over the past year, after ~12 years of daily use and a raging addiction, that prompted me to consider that maybe I actually I do have the strength and the tools to address my problematic relationship with alcohol as well. That is journey I have just embarked on just recently but with encouraging early progress. I wouldn't have even begun if it weren't for my experience beating benzo's.
I want to be the rare person who logs returns to a forum/support group to share a success story. We most seek support when we are struggling deeply-- as we should-- but that leaves our collective successes greatly underrepresented, an imbalance which can make recovery feel all but impossible. I'm here to remind you that it isn't. Recovery from benzo's Absolutely. Is. Possible. In fact, with the right tools, you stand a very excellent change of recovery. Truly, I did not believe these words myself even one year ago, but now I want to shout it from the rooftops: You can do this. There are tools to help you. It's called the Ashton Method; It works, and it's easy. There is hope. A lot of hope. I promise.
........
A year ago I thought I was doomed to a life forever in service of clonazepam-- obtaining it, taking it, withdrawing from it-- if not an untimely death. I'd been prescribed clonazepam for anxiety attacks since 2011, with daily use since soon after that. I relied on my own prescribed pills and never took more than I felt sufficiently relieved my anxiety. It worked like a charm-- until it didn't. Rebound symptoms between doses eventually led me to take the occasional extra tablet until I was regularly taking more than my prescription supplied, gradually running out earlier and earlier each month. Withdrawals before my next refill grew worse and landed me in the ER more times than I can count. Once I even went by ambulance, my EKG showing a worrisome heart arrhythmia. My boyfriend started lending me doses lorazepam when I was having a particularly hard time; Before long, I started asking for them, then sneaking them. I resorted to taking shots of tequila when my prescription ran out, leading to a further compounding of problems. I'd been a "responsible" benzo- user for years until suddenly I found myself, to summarize, in a bad, bad place.
I don't remember when or where I first learned about the Ashton Method. I had read that people often used diazepam (valium) to taper off of benzodiazepine drugs; I may have even heard the method's name. I'd considered asking my psychiatrist about a longer-acting medication, but the idea of tapering off benzo's remained antithetical to me, a still more terrifying prospect than the imminent withdrawals awaiting at the bottom of my Rx bottle. My next refill would bring incredible relief, after all. I kept my doctor in the dark, lurking on message boards in shame and terror. The cycle continued in a downward spiral for a long time.
I vividly remember the day things changed. I came across, in the NY Times, the 2020 obituary of the woman whose life's work would later save me. I always enjoyed reading the science sections, especially accounts of the groundbreaking female scientists whose work remained previously under-recognized. British psychopharmacologist Dr. Heather Ashthon was a truly remarkable woman who dedicated her career to helping benzo-dependent patients, but it wasn't an earth-shattering obituary that struck me. For whatever fate or reason, i followed a hyperlink within the article, which linked not to another news story or research foundation, but directly to the primary, foremost published work of Dr. Ashton, "Benzodiazepines: How they Work and How to Withdrawal". This is The Ashton Manual. If you are struggling with benzodiazepines, heck even if you were prescribed a benzo for the first time yesterday, you should read this book. It's also available as a free ebook download on Amazon, and probably countless other places on the internet.
Whats remarkable about The Ashton Method is that it doesn't require willpower. It doesn't require you to confess your deepest flaws to a room full of strangers. It doesn't even require detox/withdrawal or abstinence. I will expand on this below, but first I want to speak to how, for me, reading the manual was life-changing medicine all on its own. By reading the science behind how benzodiazepines work, and the mechanisms driving physical dependence and addiction, I came to realize that my problem was not only a normal consequence of human physiology, but also simply-- not my fault. You might be here because you've made mistakes with these powerful drugs, mistakes which can have severe and debilitating consequences. These mistakes are also not your fault.
The manual is written with such a compassionate yet matter-of-fact tone, I'd never before felt so validated and seen, represented right there in the very data of that publication. Layers of shame fell away. I came to realize the real place where things went wrong: benzo's should never have been prescribed to me as a daily medication in the first place, not for more than a few weeks at a time. By the time I recognized I had an addiction, I was too far in its grasp to make "good" choices. My mistakes were simply choices made by a desperate brain trying its best to survive.
Not only does she envelop you in compassion and hope, The Ashton Manual also is your step by step out of benzo's ever-tightening grip. Its full of statistics showing you how very achievable tapering completely off benzo's actually is (The manual reports an overall success rate over 90%). Reading this book will make you *want* to taper off, not because you are an addict who needs to get clean, but because you'll learn that doing so is remarkably possible, requires no withdrawals, and will bring you immense relief. If you're like me, as soon as you start the proces, you'll begin to feel a lot better right away.
In addition to the Ashton Manual itself, there are many excellent summaries of the basic strategy and its principles across the web. I won't attempt to do so here other than outline the most major points.
Two other points that you wont find in the manual, but come up in unofficial accounts, and definitely match my own experience:
In my case, I tapered down over 8 months until i got to half a 2mg tab of diazepam a day (diazepam doseages are huge by comparison to many benzos like ativan or xanax). An acute anxiety attack, which are less frequent now than anytime in the past 5 years, for me requires about 4mg to fully treat. My doc has me held me at ten 2-mg pills a month, with permission to use this supply however helps me feel best. I now have the control to save those pills for times I know I'll kick myself if I had them, such as an upcoming trip involving plane travel. At the same time, I no longer recoil in horror at the idea of fully abandoning benzos. At some point, perhaps soon I may find I forget to refill the rx at all.
After reading the manual, I "came clean" to my psychiatrist. It was scary, but I knew that change was not only possible but would make me feel a lot better. My doc is an older, curmudgeonly guy, pretty strict and cautious with my adhd stimulant prescription (no early refills, not even the time an airline lost my luggage). So when I admitted I could no longer control my clonazepam use to the point of extreme duress, I was prepared with research papers in hand, to ask about diazepam and the possibility for long slow taper as per the Ashton Manual. It turned out, not only was he familiar with the technique, he was scribbling down a diazepam script before I even had the chance to ask.
So if you're struggling, I can't encourage you enough to read the manual. Get yourself to a psychiatrist who is willing to work with you using the Ashton Method, even if you have to pay out of pocket, you will likely save yourself many times over in (ineffective!) future rehab or emergency room visits. I was in a terrible place and felt *truly* hopeless and helpless. The Ashton method worked exactly as described in the manual. The hardest part was getting up the courage to ask my doctor for help. If I can help you do that or to clarify details of what i've written here, I absolutely welcome direct messages.
I'm just a person on the internet who stumbled across an incredible solution to what once seemed like an impossible problem. I'm messaging the folks over in the alcohol use subs all the time ;) Together we got this.
​
The Ashton Manual
Dr. Heather Ashton, NY Times obit
*If youre worried about having your benzo prescription yanked away from you entirely, you may wish to inquire about a switch to diazepam an Ashton-style taper while keeping the reasons vague. This is an understandable instinct. Know that experiencing troublesome rebound symptoms between benzo doses, even if you're taking meds at exactly the dosage and intervals prescribed, is a sign that the drug may no longer be serving you well. Rebound symptoms are a perfectly reasonable cause to seek a change in your benzo treatment, whether the problem has progressed to dependence and addiction or not.

2023.03.21 12:18 yonom2021 $ARB and $GMX Fundamental Analysis

Arbitrum's native token, ARB, is a governance token that will be used for protocol governance, unlike Ethereum's ether, which is used to pay transaction fees. The total supply of ARB is 10 billion, with 56% of those tokens being controlled by the community. The remaining tokens will be distributed to DAOs operating within the Arbitrum ecosystem, investors, employees of Offchain Labs, the development firm behind Arbitrum, and a treasury controlled by the new Arbitrum DAO.
The release of ARB coincides with the launch of Arbitrum Obit, which allows third-party applications and protocols to build new "layer 3" blockchains on top of Arbitrum's low-fee infrastructure. This expansion of the Arbitrum ecosystem may increase the demand for ARB as the token used for protocol governance.
The Arbitrum DAO will have significant authority to control crucial decisions at the core protocol level, including the allocation of chain revenue to support the ecosystem and how the technology of the chain is upgraded. The ARB token will provide ARB holders with the ability to participate in important decisions regarding Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova, which allow users to transact on the Ethereum blockchain more efficiently, with faster speeds and lower fees.
The introduction of the ARB token is expected to bring greater decentralization to the Arbitrum ecosystem compared to other scaling chains. However, the success of ARB and the Arbitrum ecosystem will depend on the adoption and usage of the technology by developers and users.
As with any investment, it is important to conduct your own research and due diligence before making any decisions. The success of ARB will depend on factors such as the adoption of Arbitrum by developers and users, the effectiveness of the governance process, and the overall performance of the cryptocurrency market. Investors should carefully consider the potential risks and rewards before investing in ARB.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GMX is a decentralized perpetual and spot exchange that operates with a native token, GMX. The platform offers low swap fees and trading with zero price impact, which can be beneficial to users. Furthermore, GMX allows users to trade various assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Avalanche, and leverage their positions up to 30x.
Utility and Governance Token:
GMX's native token, GMX, offers both utility and governance benefits. Thirty percent of the generated fees are distributed to token holders, providing a passive revenue stream and an incentive to hold the asset for extended periods. Users can also stake the GMX token to earn more passive revenue, with APRs hovering above 10% at the time of writing. The trading platform also offers a secondary token called GLP, which accrues 70% of the generated fees and can also be staked on both blockchains, with APRs near 20%.
Exchange Listings:
GMX has recently been listed on major exchanges such as Binance and FTX, with more platforms likely to follow. This listing has created short-term price momentum, but interest in the decentralized platform has been high for several months. As a result, GMX is one of the better-performing crypto assets of Q3 2022. However, the success of GMX depends on getting more people to use the platform.
Analysis:
GMX's low swap fees and trading with zero price impact are highly attractive to users. The platform's ability to trade various assets and leverage up to 30x provides users with market exposure that can yield significant profits. Moreover, the GMX token's utility and governance benefits offer a passive revenue stream to holders and create an incentive to hold the asset for extended periods. The recent listing of GMX on major exchanges will likely create short-term price momentum, but the success of the platform ultimately depends on getting more people to use it.
Conclusion:
GMX is a decentralized perpetual and spot exchange that offers low swap fees and trading with zero price impact. The platform allows users to trade various assets and leverage up to 30x, providing market exposure that can yield significant profits. Moreover, the GMX token's utility and governance benefits provide a passive revenue stream to holders and create an incentive to hold the asset for extended periods. The recent listing of GMX on major exchanges has created short-term price momentum, but the platform's success ultimately depends on getting more people to use it.

2023.03.20 17:31 Impossible-Eye4255 Arbitrum's DEX transactions volume hits new all-time high while launching governance token

Arbitrum, one of the top layer 2 scaling solutions on Ethereum, has been hitting new milestones in recent weeks. According to DeFillama data, the decentralized exchange (DEX) transactions volume on Arbitrum rose to a new all-time high, reaching $4.34 billion in the last seven days. Uniswap remains the dominant DEX platform on Arbitrum, accounting for 48% of all trades on the network.
Despite the recent issues surrounding the stablecoin USD Coin (USDC), Arbitrum's stablecoin inflow has also risen, with more inflow of Tether's USDT and algorithmic stablecoin DAI into the network as compared to USDC.
Moreover, the Arbitrum Foundation has launched its long-awaited governance token, ARB, which will mark the network's transition to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This move will enable ARB holders to vote on key decisions governing the network, including upgrades to the technology and the use of revenue to support the ecosystem. The ARB token will make the Arbitrum ecosystem more decentralized than alternative scaling chains, according to Offchain Labs, the creator of Arbitrum.
The launch of ARB has been timed to coincide with the launch of Arbitrum Obit, which will enable third-party apps and protocols to build new "layer 3" blockchains based atop Arbitrum's low-fee infrastructure. This is a significant development that could potentially benefit businesses looking for cost-effective and efficient solutions for their operations.
The recent developments on Arbitrum show promising signs of growth and innovation, providing businesses with a unique opportunity to leverage its layer 2 scaling solutions.
Do you think Arbitrum is the best Layer 2 solution for now? 👇

2023.03.19 10:16 -122560- Argus Beginner Guide

Who Is Argus? Possessed by his overwhelming hunger for power, Argus has become a fallen angel. As a result, he scrambles through countless battlefields seeking to increase his power and satisfy the insatiable bloodthirst of his demonic blade.
As a hero, Argus is extremely powerful! He relies on swift and strong attacks to punish his enemies. When well-equipped, he becomes a true terror with unmatched physical capabilities and ephemeral invincibility. With his ultimate skill, he can act as an invulnerable tank and an excellent carry at the same time!
No further do, let's get straight to it.
Disclaimer I'm not a pro or some sort, If I did something wrong please clarify it on the comments.
Skills: Warmonger (Passive Skill) Argus’ demonic blade always thirsts for blood. Hence, it gains more power as it soaks in the sufferings of both Argus and his enemies. Over time, Argus’ demonic blade charges its malevolent power. Once fully charged, Argus’ next basic attack quickens and doubles in form. In essence, he makes a double attack the moment his demonic blade’s charge is full. Note that the lower Argus’ HP is, the faster his demonic blade charges.
Demonic Grip (1st Skill) With the fury of his demonic hand, Argus lunges toward an enemy hero and deals 175 [+200% Total Physical ATK] physical damage. Thereafter, he makes a quick slash behind the enemy hero and deals 125 [+60% Total Physical ATK] physical damage. If this skill doesn’t hit an enemy hero, Argus simply covers some distance by pulling himself into the location.
Meteoric Sword (2nd Skill) With a demonic blade that possesses an unsatiable thirst for blood, Argus mercilessly strikes the enemy with it—after a short period of charging—and deals 400 [+150% Total Physical ATK] physical damage. After being hit, the enemy bleeds out for five seconds, leaving a trail of blood for Argus to follow. If Argus follows the trail of blood, his movement speed drastically increases.
Eternal Evil (Ultimate Skill) As the Nightstalker, Argus can transform into the Fallen Angel of Eternal Evil. In this mode, he becomes immune to death for five seconds. He also instantly charges his demonic blade to its maximum power for one time. And to top it all, 100% of the damage that he absorbs during this brief state of invulnerability wholly restores his life force after it ends. The more damage he receives during this mode, the more HP he recovers.
Skill Combo: 1. Skill 1 -> Skill 2 -> ba. 2. Skill 1 -> Skill 2 -> Skill 1 (if in team fight wait for low health to use Skill 3 ) or Skill 2 -> Skill 1 -> Skill 1.
Spells: 1. Flicker 2. Inspire (Recommended) 3. Execute
Builds: 1. Penetration (Swift Boots, DHS, BoH, Malefic Roar, Hunter Strike, and BoD) 2. Critical (Swift Boots, DHS, Windtalker, Scarlet Phantom, Berserker's Fury, and BoD) 3. Hyper (Swift Boots, DHS, Windtalker, Berserker's Fury, BoD, and BoH)
Emblems: 1. Assassin (Bravery, Invasion, High and Dry) 2. Fighter (Bravery, Invasion, Disabling Strike) 3. Marksman (Bravery, Doom, Weapon Master)
Tips and Tricks: 1. After casting his ultimate, activate inspire for higher damage and attack speed. 2. Don't engage in teamfights when you Ultimate is on cooldown. 3. Always push turrets. 4. Use the second skill to your advantage.

2023.03.19 09:45 worldwanderer91 Once WfM is included in games such as SD Gundam G Generation, SRW, and other Gundam games, what new things will be added to Suletta's list of things she wants to do?

Top of Suletta's new modified list would be to visit her big brother Mikazuki Argus and help him survive the final battle with Gjallarhorn to live with his family. A team battle with Aerial and Barbatos would be an awesome sight to see. Gjallarhorn gets crushed and mostly everyone in Tekkadan survives.
Go to Gundam Build universe and go on a VRMMORPG date with Miorine with Miorine's custom Gundam. Have Aerial meet EL-Divers, Sarah and May. Also building and customizing Gunpla models together with Miorine and Chuchu and have a good time in Gunpla battles.
Suletta and Aerial meet the AI of the S Gundam's ALICE System, Maruon Welch from the EXAM System, and lastly Rita Bernal and Michele Luio of Gundam Phenex. Also examine Gundam comparable to the Aerial like Gundam units mentioned above and the three Unicorn Gundams. But however, destroys Unicorn Gundam 01 if it ever tries to use the NTD System to NTR the Aerial's Bits.
Girls night out with Miorine other female Gundam pilots from other Gundam universes. Even dress out as mahou shoujos and watch Revolutionary Girl Utena anime together.
Sing "Happy Birthday" song to all the new friends she'll make from the Gundam multiverse.
Tell the ELS to speak "Human" instead of screeching if they really want to achieve true dialogue. Also give her little brother Setsuna F. Seiei a head pat and tell him he did great and insists that she's the big sister in the relationship
Help Chuchu draw inspiration from other Earth factions across the Gundam multiverse to make the best pro-Earthian faction for herself possible without going full Titans, OZ, Blue Cosmos, A-LAWS, or Gjallarhorn.
Meet Lowe Gear and Junk Guild and enlist their help to build a partner Gundam unit to the Gundam Aerial for Miorine and custom weapons kit and equipment for the Aerial.
Have Elan Ceres meet Four Murasame and ask Kamille Bidan if Norea Du Noc (pilot of Gundam Lfrith Thorn) is actually his sister because of similar hair color.
Introduce her new friends to her mother as the first female Char and best mother ever in the Gundam multiverse (wait, why is everyone making weird shocked horrified faces?)
Completely change GSD story by saving Mayu Asuka, adopt Mayu as hers and Miorine's foster daughter, and give her a Gundam comparable to the Aerial and Efrith. That's one huge way to screw Shin up real good and potentially derail Durandal's Destiny plan.
Make a vow to other Gundam protagonists where she and her universe will do what no other Gundam universe has achieve before - to reach a mythical miracle true happy ending for a Gundam protagonist and series. Because every Gundam protagonist up to this point has a bittersweet ending.

2023.03.19 05:24 WarthogFirm6404 Cursed Mirror Technique

User: “The Handsome Devil” Urama
Story: Urama is obsessed with his good looks and an was outcast because of this obsession and he’s conceded personally. He’s mother used to always tell him how handsome he was and tell him he was the families pride and joy of the family and would bring happiness and riches. He would often look at him self in his bathroom mirror after school and tell himself how good he had it, until his mother killed herself cause of their poverty and debt using broken mirror shards of the same mirror.
Technique: Cursed Mirrors
Urama can make mirrors that can project blasts of light from mirror an reflect anything be it physical or spiritual attacks throwing it back at user however if its too strong it can shatter the mirror. He can also make a single self-reflection clone of one person at a time to help aid in battle or other things. He can manipulate the mirror to float and obit around him but not very far or they lose speed. Also can use shards of mirror like sword to cut and stab. Occasionally can teleport between mirror but takes great stamina depending on distance, not just his mirrors any mirror.
Domain: Land of Broken Shards
White realm of floating mirror shard that Urama can teleport through with ease or send blast through increasing speed significantly he cannot use clones here or reflect but in return anything residing in this domain will have their durability reduced to that of glass, even shattering on impact but kept alive while in pieces and can only put back together by Urama. If domain is expelled while a target is broken they will be left in pieces leaving a bloody mess.
