My friends and I are in year 15 of franchise. After every few seasons we look for ways to give us a bigger challenge or balance the game in some way so it's harder for us to build a team of aliens and dominate the league (we still do but it's more challenging). This has been our longest franchise yet and these rules are one of the main reasons we've gotten has far as we have. Adjusting sliders can only do so much.
What are some rules you've tried out that kept it fresh?
Here's some of ours:

• Trade proposals in group chat for the other users to approve to stop us from doing ridiculous trades.
• Banned OP abilities for users:
  • Pick artist (Our DB's were shattering INT records)
  • Tank
  • Mind Reader
  • Combo of double or nothing+edge threat
• 2 X-factors+3 Superstars max on each side of the ball. This rule has a few exceptions that can be a little confusing so bear with me:
  • Max of 2 OL can be superstars and they don't count toward your limit.
  • If a rookie goes to superstar or X-factor by any means, they can keep that dev trait for the rest of the season regardless of your dev trait cap situation.
  • At the beginning of each season, you can choose one 2nd year player to be a Designated Development Player (DDP). This player can take you over your cap limit so that he doesn't have to go down to star and miss out on quick upgrades. This player has to have been drafted as a superstar or X-Factor, so players that got breakout games don't count.
  • You can choose your who your X-Factors and superstars are at the beginning of each season but you can't change them unless a year 3+ player has a breakout to put you over the cap. Anyone who has ever gotten SS and X Factor are kept in a "graveyard". They go back to their highest dev trait if they go to a CPU team.

Every team in real life has weaknesses. Building a roster of all 99's and superstars gets boring REAL FAST. This helps with that
These rules made teambuilding and playing the CPU (and other users) more challenging. Let me know some of yours and feel free to try these. The game isn't good but this has made it more tolerable.

Im having an issue with getting packet loss on my PC every 30s-1m I will get packet loss and my discord starts to cut out and lag out in games, I recently got a new router but this also happened on my old one. I have tried both my ethernet cables and it does it on both, it did this last year but only in the winter months after a storm, but this time it hasnt fixed itself. What is the best way to try and troubleshoot this. I was thinking getting a new router from spectrum, if that doesnt work trying to fix the end of my cables see if they went bad, and lastly getting new one. I really dont want to try a new cable because my router is so far from my PC and it has to go under the floor through the whole house. The only reason I think it could be the cables is cause it does it much worse on one cable than the other, it will completely go out on one cable, where with the other cable I just get packetloss and I stay in the server but lag.

I heard a song on Alt Nation recently but I can't recall what it is. I believe it's a relatively newer song. In the beginning part of the song it reminds me a lot of LCD Soundsystem and the lead singer is talk-singing like LCD did on some of their older material.
Can anyone help me out and identity this song?

I’ve been friends with this person, I’ll call her Casey, for a little over four years now. Casey is the type of sweet, genuine person who's easy to talk to and trust. A few months into our friendship I realized I had romantic feelings for her, I still remember the moment it happened. She gave me a drink she invented, it was an apple juice espresso and it tasted uncannily like boiled mud. Despite how bad it was when I looked into her eyes and saw how genuinely excited she was to share it with me my heart melted. I can’t fully describe it but something clicked and I was over the moon. To make things better Valentine’s Day wasn’t far away and she told me she’d made letters for all of her friends that she wanted to hand deliver. That seemed like a good enough excuse for me to meet up with her and tell her how I felt. Unfortunately, fate has a sense of humor.
Valentine’s Day 2020, while I was crossing the street to meet up with Casey, I was hit by a truck. The collision broke my hip in three places, gave me a concussion, and left me with scars running up and down my legs. While I was in shock after the accident I took a selfie covered in blood and sent it to her, brain trauma is a hell of a drug. Once I’d come to my senses I decided that I wouldn’t tell Casey I was going to meet her, I didn’t want her to blame herself or to think that I was blaming her.
While I was recovering she visited me with one of our other friends and gave me flowers. I could have jumped with excitement if the accident hadn’t crippled me. I wanted desperately to tell her how I felt but I didn’t. I thought it’d be manipulative to try and start a relationship with her while I was at my lowest. I wanted a real connection, not pity. I decided then that I’d tell her the truth once I was able to walk again.
After several months of doctor’s visits and physical therapy I was able to support my own weight again and I decided that it was finally time to talk to Casey. We met up to play games with a few friends and before I could have a one on one conversation with her she announced that she was in a relationship. I’m not proud to admit it but I was devastated. I waited too long and lost any opportunity to forge a deeper connection with someone I’d admired. On top of that, now that she was in a relationship I didn’t feel like there would ever be a good time to talk to her about the accident. I wish I could be the type of generous soul who could be happy to see someone I had feelings for being happy, but I just couldn’t.
After that get together our friend group started to drift apart and I just kinda let it. I figured letting her just disappear from my life would be the easiest way to deal with my frustratingly persistent attraction to her. The first few months sucked but eventually I started meeting new people who I didn’t have any baggage with and things started to get a little easier. The best part was that since they didn’t know Casey I finally had someone I could talk to about the accident. It was almost liberating to vent about it, to admit how frustrating the situation was for me without worrying how it would affect anyone else. I really felt like I was starting to move on until Casey contacted me again.
I don’t know why but seeing her again flipped a switch in me. It was like I was back in the street, crippled and covered in my own blood. She asked if she could come by my house and I said yes. My friends told me to let her in, that she’d just cause trouble but what did they know, they’d never even met Casey. The day she visited I was so stressed I tried to cancel twice and threw up in the shower. It felt like I was on the verge of death but when I saw her face, her smile, it was ok. We talked, we laughed, and six hours passed in just a few minutes. Despite the time and circumstances I was still hopelessly in love.
After that meeting we started talking every day and meeting up at least once every few weeks. It was probably the happiest I’d been since the accident. When I casually told Casey I loved her it hit me that I’d basically just put her in the role of a partner without asking. I felt disgusted, I knew she was in a relationship and I still let things evolve to that point. It was wrong and I couldn’t stand that I let myself do something that selfish. I made an effort to distance myself from her after that. Responded to texts less, stopped dressing myself up for meetings, and eventually let our friendship fizzle out again.
In the time after that I felt hollow. I knew the faux relationship we had only really existed in my head but it was still probably the best thing I had in my life at the time. Casey would occasionally make a push to be in my life and like clockwork I would always respond. The friends I made during my break with Casey all eventually hit fed up and left as I kept devoting my time to this fool’s errand. Being around her hurt me and the worst part was that I knew it was my own fault. I shouldn’t have let her back in, I shouldn’t have let myself get so obsessed, and I shouldn’t have lied to her about the accident.
Finally, a few days ago, things finally boiled over. Casey found the letter from the day of the accident and offered to give it to me. It was too much, it took me back to the beginning again and I finally said no. I knew there was nothing in the letter that could have made anything better. If it was romantic then the sting of never trying to start a proper relationship would flare up, if it wasn’t then I’d have to confront the fact that I’ve ruined my life for nothing. With everything I’ve gone through in the last few years churning inside me I finally told Casey the truth, the whole truth. Her response was confusing to me. She said things about how she wasn’t a good person and it clicked that after all these wasted years I still didn’t know her and she didn’t seem to want me to. She said we could still be friends but I don’t think it’s a good idea. I think I need to move on.

So pretty much anyone within the Minecraft community knows that in the upcoming 1.20 update, also known as the Trails & Tales update, armor trims are getting added to the game as a cosmetic feature which objective is to encourage exploration and self-expression. The trims can be obtained using new items called smithing templates, a trimming material and of course the armor pieces themselves; even though the idea sounds extremely good on paper, I believe its execution is not going to be that great because of one glaring issue: Minecraft’s notion of challenge, rewards, and the most effective gameplay loop to obtain resources.
Getting the smithing templates
Each of the smithing templates is associated with one specific structure in the game, if you want to get a specific template, you’ll have to explore a particular structure (e.g., jungle temples to get the wild armor trim). This is done to promote exploration which is great but there are a few issues with this:

1. This DOES NOT make some structures immediately more interesting (for example the aforementioned jungle temples); they just add another thing to their loot tables, the gameplay pretty much stays the same and the excitement comes from opening a chest and finding out if the template is there. I think the incentive to explore a structure shouldn’t only be what reward it is holding but the structure itself, getting through the structure should be fun too; not just what is waiting at the end of it.
2. Most of these templates are not guaranteed to appear in the structures they’re supposed to be found, this is done so the player must explore multiple structures to get them but, in some cases, instead of being difficult or challenging, it becomes annoying and time consuming. The biggest offender here is the Silence trim which only has a 1% of appearing in chests from the Ancient Cities which are already a quite rare structure; according to @Kingbdogz this is supposed to be challenging but it’s just time consuming and annoying: exploring the whole structure (which is quite big) to not find anything just to spend a lot of time getting to another one and repeating the process until you get the template.
3. There’s also the option of duplicating the templates if the player doesn’t want to go through the trouble of exploring repeatedly the same structures over and over again but the crafting recipe requires 7 diamonds to do this, meaning that if the player wants to get a full trimmed armor without looking for more than one template, they will require 21 diamonds which to some players may not sound like a lot but for others it is, which leads to the next two points.

Getting the ores
The armors are trimmed using minerals found in ores. The most effective way to get these ores is strip-mining, which is a monotonous task (I know some people find this to be relaxing but I personally can’t), this includes the diamonds required for duplicating the templates. I usually get my minerals exploring caves because it’s more fun, even better now thanks to the Caves & Cliffs update; however, the number of exposed ores appearing in the caves was reduced in this update too making gathering resources in a fun way more time consuming. I’ve seen comments from many players saying they’re glad about the crafting recipe for the templates since now they have something to sink their diamonds (since apparently there’s a huge playerbase with tons of diamonds to spare) but surely most of these obtained resources were obtained through trading halls, strip mining and farms. All these methods of getting resources usually require the player to go through monotonous tasks or being AFK, meaning that the best way to play the game is grinding or to NOT PLAY the game at all which leads to these issues:

1. (Just as an example) why would I spend the diamonds I got to trim my iron armor instead of using them for something more useful? Wouldn’t it make more sense that I get to enjoy customizing my iron armor while working to get the diamond one? (The people who say that is just to flex how much diamonds you have that you can use them like this… I don’t get the point and honestly is not impressive, just dumb)
2. If the best way to get the templates is through grinding, I think many casual players wouldn’t even bother getting them (I know I wouldn’t) because it is not fun for them or it just requires too much time from them. Please hardcore Minecraft players keep in mind not everybody plays Minecraft daily, people play other games, have other hobbies, or just don’t have time for these things because of their responsibilities. Not everyone built a farm or a trading hall and went to gather resources for the sake of it. I believe there must be something rewarding for the hardcore players, but I think this feature isn’t it

If these methods of getting the templates remain the same when the 1.20 update finally arrives, the armor trims will ultimately fail their purpose: self-expression for everyone. Not everybody is going to go through all this trouble to get something purely cosmetic that most of the time they wouldn’t even see, it seems like the armor trims are not a “challenging reward” for how skillful you’re at the game but instead how much time you’re willing to put in this game even if it means doing something boring or monotonous, which is something that happens with many features of Minecraft: many things are not hard to get, some of them are just annoying to get or involve repetition over and over again; the notion of challenge in Minecraft is the grind, the RNG, not an actual challenge that engages the player and the armor trims might be the best (or worst) example yet of this gameplay issue.

Hello everyone!
Lately, I've been considering applying as a TTOC in Vancouver and Richmond. Back in 2012, I obtained my degree from SFU and applied to the Vancouver, Richmond, and Surrey districts. I remember seeing huge piles of resumes stacked from the floor to the ceiling, and my peers and I didn't get a phone call back. Afterwards, I had my first child, and now that they are older, I'm contemplating returning to teaching.
The only experience I've had in the past ten years has been teaching my own two children, so I'm feeling a bit hesitant and nervous. I'm wondering about my chances of being hired as a TTOC.
What is the current situation with TTOC positions? Are there many openings, or none at all?
Any advice or feedback to help me get back in the teaching world would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

Today I did my demo flight today with the plans to hit training hard. I have the support of my wife, committed to do 2-3x lessons a week, and can still keep my day job as a teacher that I've had for 19 years.
I believe I have managed expectations and would be happy being a med transport pilot for the rest of my career.
Then came today.
I did my demo flight. I love flying, all types. The smallest plane I've ridden in before today was a DHC-3 Otter where I got to sit in the cockpit. Love it.
But in the Cessna 172 I took today, I was not expecting how much it would be banged and tossed around up there. My instructor said there were some thermals that were causing air that wasn't as uniform as usual (my understanding not necessity what he said or meant).
He gave me the controls. I didn't know this would happen. I was scared, it was unexpected, but I keep heading pretty well, speed, and my climbs and descents. After 20 minutes of white knuckling I said can you take it back please.
I wanted to talk through and decompress but my instructor had to go to another lesson. We exchanged contact info and he encouraged me to call him if I want to fly more.
I sat in the parking lot decompressing. And when I came home I crashed on the couch.
Full disclosure I am out of shape. But I wasn't expecting piloting to be such a physical endeavor.
So for the community, I want to fly. But please help me understand. How did my experience stack up to normal experiences? Should I look for another flight school? Much appreciated.

I'm interested in stuff from outside the setting (either books or MTG cards) that inspires your DM creativity in-setting. I have some examples that have sent my mind reeling down corridors of creativity, and I'm wondering what inspires you. Here's some examples that worked for me.
Simic: Halfway through my most recent Subnautica playthrough, I realized it was an open manual for things the Simic might come up with, monsters, inventions, and all. Imagining what creatures the Simic might breed that act like a Seamoth come to mind. Seems like an easy way for Humans and Elves of worth in the guild to get around conveniently. Subnautica:Below Zero likely has similar inspiration for me when I care to play it.
Orzhov: Was watching an episode of Archer (S2E10), and toward the end one of the characters disrobed and had a tattoo on her back, a section of a poem by Lord Byron. "For the Angel of Death spread His wings on the Blast, and breathed in the face of the foes He passed; and the eyes of the Sleepers waxed deadly and chill, and their hearts but once heaved, and forever grew still!" This is the third stanza to the poem "The Destruction of Sennacherib." A lot of ideas for myths or sermons around the Angels of the Orzhov church came to mind pretty quickly. I gotta look up the rest of that poem now and see what else my brain generates.
Still working on my inspiration for the setting, so I'd love to hear what things from other media inspire you toward building the setting out further in one Guild or another.

Hello! I need advice, I have a 38 gallon tank and I have a 5 inch long Pleco along with some tetras, danios and barbs. I’ve had my Pleco for 3 years and it’s has been eating fine. Recently I have noticed fish going missing. I can’t ever find their bodies and this is happened several times now. So a few questions, do plecos eat fish under extreme circumstances or improper diet? What is the proper diet recommendation for a Pleco if algae wafers isn’t enough? It might just be a weird coincidence but it got me curious!

Hi, throwaway since lately I'm contemplating my gender identity.
I have been living as a (gay) male since 14, I don't know what dating or being a woman is like. I am currently 25. I mostly date gay and bisexual men but lately I feel like the pool is dry, and all men want is sex. There's countless times where I thought I had a good time and once I sleep with a guy, he's no longer interested and I get ghosted. I also feel like the gay community is so STRICT with their beauty standards and I feel like the transphobia and racism are things I can no longer compete with. It seems beauty standards for women are more lenient than gay men. I am afraid of men being turned off by my voice though.
Lately I feel less attached to my identity as a male and I notice women are sporting more boyish fashions, and it seems more acceptable to be a tomboy. I am thinking of going off t for health reasons related to blood thickening after 6 years. and I am strongly considering having children in the future. I never thought i would when I was younger but I want to keep my reproductive organs in tact.
TBH, all I wanna do is get married to a kind handsome guy at this point but finding one in the gay community seems impossible since it's so hookup focused, and a lot of the bi men who want to sleep with me just see it as an experience or way to get sex and then they would rather have a conventional life with a woman. I seriously feel like I can't win by being a male and my best bet is to detransition. I don't really feel dysphoria or care about gender or how I'm perceived anymore -- I just feel so fucking lonely and I'm not getting any younger. The trauma of an ex-bf breaking up with me is really made me reconsider my gender since all I want is a happy life with a guy.
[please don't tell me be happy alone, i have a great career, hobbies and access to financial resources -- the only thing I feel like I'm missing is potential for a family]

I haven't been sleeping well for the past 2 days because I was binge watching series and movies to catch up with friends and go together to it in the cinema. Around 4 am when you was done, I decided to go to sleep and stuff. The day prior I didn't go to sleep (I nap throughout the day for a few hours) and when I was in bed, closing my eyes, I could've sworn I felt myself getting up and throwing up in the toilet, but when I opened my eyes, I was still in bed. It was a bit unusual and very, very realistic. But I did let it go. But when I went to sleep today, I thought I wouldn't wake up. I had many parts of a realistic dream where I would be in school, so when I realized after a bit I'm in a dream, I just got send back to my room and..'wake up'. It was around 7 am and I went out of my room, seeing my mom so I went to say hi to her and hug her all over, thinking it was over, but then the second I know it, when I was explaining to her the fever dream, I'm outside in the cold. Then again I realize I'm in a dream, running around calling for help. I was running like crazy. I even tried asking google on my phone how to wake up, but it didn't let me even type it. Even my phone was weird. That was an another hint that I was dreaming. I continued to run around like crazy and think about it. In the school when I remembered, I had my pajamas but some clothes in my hand, classmates asking me if I was alright and the usual stuff they talk about. Then my best friend came and we went to the bathroom, telling me that he couldn't believe it. So when I looked in the mirror we were looking at, I didn't see my reflection, but only his. And when I turned around, he wasn't there. When I went to run back to class, I was in my room again. I couldn't remember anything else (after all, I was only asleep for about 45 minutes) but I was still on the cold street, calling out for help. I was talking to strangers and begging them to help me, but then I just disappeared for them and something and they continued to mind their own business. I followed some girls when they were going home and begged them the same way, asking them to help me wake up, but the next thing I know, I'm actually awake. I know this sounds like nonsense mostly, but I'm so terrified after that. I tried explaining as much as I could remember. I'm afraid to go sleep again right now

I was essentially 0/13 on phd stats programs this cycle. I got into the one school I applied to which was a funded MS program in stats at a small school. While I should feel excited, I just don’t anymore. Because I have to do this intermediate step as a MS, I feel like I’ve been “held back” so to speak and can’t start my PhD at the same time everyone else is. Now a process which normally takes 5 years is gonna take me 7, because I have to do this MS, then reapply and then none of my courses transfer so I have to retake the classes. Not to mention, my school I go to is so small that there is no PhD program (R2 school). Thus, with this MS I really am doing everything again for the first two years.
It sucks cause a semester ago I was passionate about research and going down that path but now that it’s gonna take more time I’ve decided it’s probably best I try and get into industry after my MS and give up on the phd.
Can anyone here speak to how they felt towards doing their PhD after completing an MS in stats at another school first? I’m trying to find good in this situation rather than bad. I figured maybe it’s a time to figure out if I want to do a phd still. Did an MS in stat first help you focus your research interests more? What was the benefit of doing an MS first.

I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Over the course of three films so far, we’ve seen the consequences of what can happen when one of the world’s greatest hitmen comes out of retirement. John Wick, AKA Baba Yaga or The Boogeyman, is a man who is not to be trifled with under any circumstances, yet criminals can never seem to learn their lesson. This incredibly popular series began with John (Keanu Reeves) seeking revenge on the men that invaded his home, stole his car, and worst of all, killed his puppy, Daisy. From here, endless complications have prevented John from returning to retirement as he has traveled around the world and gone on the run. Now, in John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), we’ll get to witness the titular hitman’s greatest challenge yet as he seeks revenge on the High Table. A council of highly respected (and feared) crime lords, they run the criminal underworld’s most powerful and notorious organizations; so needless to say, John has a punishing task ahead of him.
Chad Stahelski’s sequel impressively outdoes the critical success of its predecessors, with John Wick: Chapter 4’s positive reviews being the best of the franchise. The movie already holds a Certified Fresh 93% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is higher than the two sequels’ 89% scores and the original’s 86% rating. John Wick: Chapter 4 is also expected to be the franchise’s biggest box office success yet, meaning it’s apt to enjoy a long exclusive theatrical window before releasing on streaming.
If you’re excited to see where this highly anticipated action series goes next, we’ve got good news for you, because the latest installment is clocking in at a massive 169 minutes. It’s also out incredibly soon! Keep reading below to find out when and where you can see John Wick: Chapter 4.
Here's your guide on how you can watch the highly anticipated action movie John Wick 4 streaming, the latest installment in the John Wick franchise.
When Does the John Wick 4 Movie Come Out?
John Wick: Chapter 4 officially hits theaters on March 24, 2023. But you can catch early screenings as soon as Thursday, March 23.
Where to watch John Wick 4:
As of now, the only way to watch John Wick 4 is to head to a theater when it releases on Friday, March 24. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or buy on digital platforms like Vudu, Paramount, Apple and YouTube, or become available to stream on Peacock.
Watch Now- John Wick: Chapter 4 Online Free
Following its release in theaters, the film will be available to stream on Prime Video. Expect the movie to hit the streamer 45 days after its theatrical run, which should be sometime in May. it's most likely that Peacock will be the main platform that will stream John Wick: Chapter 4.
Is John Wick 4 Available Streaming on Peacock?
Not Now,Lionsgate struck a massive distribution deal with Peacock that gives the streaming service exclusive rights to its films’ “Pay 2” streaming window (via THR). The agreement means that after Lionsgate’s films have their initial streaming releases on Starz, the movies, like John Wick: Chapter 4, will later be available to stream on Peacock. Since Lionsgate hasn’t even confirmed the official streaming release date for the John Wick sequel on Starz, don’t expect to see the movie land on Peacock until at least winter 2024 after the deal officially kicks in.
Pay 1 windows typically last between a year to 18 months, meaning that if John Wick: Chapter 4 begins streaming on Starz in September 2023, it isn’t likely to join Peacock's movie library until September 2024 at the earliest. Peacock and Lionsgate's deal confirmed that releases like John Wick: Chapter 4 would start streaming on the service in 2024, so the latest movie will most likely be on Peacock in fall 2024. By this time, John Wick: Chapter 4 will be available alongside the entire John Wick franchise for streaming on the platform.
Will John Wick 4 be on Netflix?
No, John Wick 4 will not be available on Netflix — at least not anytime soon, since it will be heading straight to Peacock after its theatrical release. In the meantime, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available on the NBCUniversal-owned streaming platform.
Is John Wick 4 streaming on HBO Max?
John Wick 4 is expected to stream on HBO Max at some point after its theatrical run. No official streaming release date for the movie has yet been given, but as it comes from Warner Bros., it will likely arrive on the platform after its cinematic debut barring some unprecedented events or a unique deal.
Is John Wick 4 Available On Hulu? Viewers are saying that they want to view the new movie John Wick 4 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
Is John Wick 4 streaming on Prime Video?
Amazon Prime Video subscribers might be disappointed because ‘John Wick 4’ is not a part of the streaming giant’s library. Alternatively, you have the option to turn to similar films using your subscription, including ‘Smile,' 'Bram Stoker's Dracula,' 'Let the Right One In.’
The bad news is that the movie is not likely to come to Prime Video. Paramount Pictures movies used to head to Amazon Prime Video about a year after the theatrical release, but that’s changed with a lot of movies recently. Instead of heading to Prime Video, they’ve gone to Paramount+.
Is John Wick 4 Streaming Online?
Well, not right now. In terms of the streaming release, John Wick 4 will most likely follow the 45-day theatrical window before being available to stream online. Due to Peacock's multi-billion dollar acquisition of Lionsgate (the franchise's production company), it's most likely that Peacock will be the main platform that will stream John Wick 4.
How To Watch John Wick Online:

Did you imagine when Grand Theft Auto V came out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2013, that we'd be seeing a fresh retail re-release of it nine years later? Much like The Elder Scrolls Part V: Skyrim—which hails from the same era—GTA V has been an enduring success and is about to get its third re-release.
There's no fancy subtitle or name change; Grand Theft Auto V is coming to PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series XS consoles on March 15th. That's not to say it's exactly the same experience, though. The versions for the current-gen consoles support 60 FPS, HDR output, ray-tracing, "improved texture quality," faster loading times, "immersive 3D audio," and support for platform-specific features, like the PS5's DualSense haptics.
gtaonline carwash Specifically, there will be a fidelity mode that targets native 3840×2160 resolution with ray tracing and a 30 FPS cap. (Xbox Series S will use upscaling to hit 4K.) Before you sneer at that, note that console versions of GTA V have always had a 30 FPS cap—until now: the new release's "performance mode" will target 60 FPS with dynamic resolution scaling up to 4K, but without ray tracing.
Most interesting to the majority of gamers will probably be the "Performance RT" mode. This mode, available only on the PS5 and Series X, is basically just performance mode with ray tracing enabled. Most likely, it will simply use a lower dynamic resolution to achieve higher-than-30 FPS while keeping ray tracing features. Depending on the upscaling method Rockstar uses, this mode could still look quite good.
Of course, the whole reason that Grand Theft Auto V is still the sensation that it is lies in its online mode. Rockstar has always talked about Grand Theft Auto Online as if it were an entirely separate game, and that's understandable given the differences in their content. But after the re-release launches, it will in fact be available as an entirely separate game—and it'll be free for the first three months after launch on PS5.
gtaonline fukaru The technical changes to Grand Theft Auto V largely apply here, although there's probably still not going to be any animals in Online. Instead, Rockstar is implementing several content updates for the re-launch. The Los Santos Car Meet expansion is getting an expansion of its own called Hao's Special Works, and a "Career Builder" feature will be available for fresh characters to help them get a foothold in Los Santos' seedy underbelly.
If you're already an accomplished crime boss in GTA V or GTA Online using an older console version, you can transfer your progress to the new systems. For story mode, open the game and go to "Game" in the pause menu, then select "Upload Save Game" to send it to the Rockstar Social Club cloud servers. GTA Online progress will transfer automatically, although Rockstar cautions players that purchased GTA$ won't transfer across platforms (i.e. PlayStation to Xbox, or vice versa.)
You'll be able to start playing the remastered version of GTA V on March 15, with physical copies coming available In April. We asked Rockstar when these changes would be coming to the PC version, but haven't heard back yet. We'll update this story when we do.

Over the course of three films so far, we’ve seen the consequences of what can happen when one of the world’s greatest hitmen comes out of retirement. John Wick, AKA Baba Yaga or The Boogeyman, is a man who is not to be trifled with under any circumstances, yet criminals can never seem to learn their lesson. This incredibly popular series began with John (Keanu Reeves) seeking revenge on the men that invaded his home, stole his car, and worst of all, killed his puppy, Daisy. From here, endless complications have prevented John from returning to retirement as he has traveled around the world and gone on the run. Now, in John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), we’ll get to witness the titular hitman’s greatest challenge yet as he seeks revenge on the High Table. A council of highly respected (and feared) crime lords, they run the criminal underworld’s most powerful and notorious organizations; so needless to say, John has a punishing task ahead of him.
Chad Stahelski’s sequel impressively outdoes the critical success of its predecessors, with John Wick: Chapter 4’s positive reviews being the best of the franchise. The movie already holds a Certified Fresh 93% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is higher than the two sequels’ 89% scores and the original’s 86% rating. John Wick: Chapter 4 is also expected to be the franchise’s biggest box office success yet, meaning it’s apt to enjoy a long exclusive theatrical window before releasing on streaming.
If you’re excited to see where this highly anticipated action series goes next, we’ve got good news for you, because the latest installment is clocking in at a massive 169 minutes. It’s also out incredibly soon! Keep reading below to find out when and where you can see John Wick: Chapter 4.

Is John Wick 4 Available Streaming on Peacock?
Not Now,Lionsgate struck a massive distribution deal with Peacock that gives the streaming service exclusive rights to its films’ “Pay 2” streaming window (via THR). The agreement means that after Lionsgate’s films have their initial streaming releases on Starz, the movies, like John Wick: Chapter 4, will later be available to stream on Peacock. Since Lionsgate hasn’t even confirmed the official streaming release date for the John Wick sequel on Starz, don’t expect to see the movie land on Peacock until at least winter 2024 after the deal officially kicks in.
Pay 1 windows typically last between a year to 18 months, meaning that if John Wick: Chapter 4 begins streaming on Starz in September 2023, it isn’t likely to join Peacock's movie library until September 2024 at the earliest. Peacock and Lionsgate's deal confirmed that releases like John Wick: Chapter 4 would start streaming on the service in 2024, so the latest movie will most likely be on Peacock in fall 2024. By this time, John Wick: Chapter 4 will be available alongside the entire John Wick franchise for streaming on the platform.
Will John Wick 4 be on Netflix?
No, John Wick 4 will not be available on Netflix — at least not anytime soon, since it will be heading straight to Peacock after its theatrical release. In the meantime, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available on the NBCUniversal-owned streaming platform.
Is John Wick 4 streaming on HBO Max?

It was a beautiful day in the fall, and though being in the middle of nowhere in Ohio isn’t exactly my ideal setting for an assignment, it could have been worse. Opening my windows, listening to music, and getting a good whiff of country air is a nice contrast to being cooped up in cities like I’m used to. The sight of brown stalks of corn populating the miles of fields along the road was welcome, as was the cool and clean smell of the air. It’s a good thing these jobs don’t involve much interaction with people. Unfortunately, some level of interaction is inevitable.
​
On my way to this one, I got a speeding ticket from a cop at some little local department. Though I was, in fact, speeding, I got the feeling that he also didn’t so much like seeing a fed in his neck of the woods. The local police aren’t a fan of us, so I’ve come to learn. They tend to get suspicious of us, thinking we’re up to some top-secret mission behind their backs. I guess they would be right.
​
I kept driving down the gravel road until the navigation let me know my destination was coming up on the right. Turning down the radio as I approached, I glanced toward the empty fields and the woods that met them beyond. I then turned into the long dirt driveway leading to our civilians’ house and garage.
​
I rolled up and parked with my trunk facing the porch. Stepping out, I got another whiff of the fresh country air and looked at the area of operations that lay before me. I was surprised at the amount of land and space that I had at my disposal. Space is good for these jobs. Additionally, I was informed that there weren’t any neighbors close enough to worry about. I couldn’t have asked for a better setting.
​
After stretching and letting out a light sigh, I decided it was time to get to work. I pulled the keychain out of my pocket and unlocked the front door. It seemed like a nice enough place. It was certainly nothing worth complaining about given the conditions of houses I’ve faced in my previous assignments. I went back outside to my massive, government-issued vehicle and opened the trunk.
​
I pulled the first couple of duffel bags worth of equipment out and brought them inside. The kitchen was as good a place as any to set up. After making five or six trips of dragging heavy bags and boxes of my junk into the house, I went back outside to open the garage. Thank God we were able to catch this case early and the civilians were able to make it out in time. It also meant I got room in the garage to park this thing. All that remained in the truck was the large metallic box, but I wasn’t going to need that until later.
​
I shut the trunk and pulled my vehicle into the garage, closing it on my way out. I stepped back into the house where I changed from my suit to my gear. Wearing the suit all day annoys me but I suppose the higher-ups want us to look like good, “friendly” feds to the public. The public has no idea the kind of monsters we are.
​
I unpacked box after box of equipment and weapons. I loaded up my Glock 17 with its extended 30-round magazine just as I did with my standard .556 rifle. I checked the laser sights on both. All good. Next was my favorite, the.338 with the best scope you could ever ask for. It sure is nice having a virtually infinite budget. Perks of working for the US federal government I suppose. The final firearm I brought was my personal .357 magnum revolver that I kept holstered on my chest. I figure it’s never a bad idea to have one more gun, just in case. Maybe I should have brought more on this one. If things got too close, I always had my hunting knife. I sharpened it that morning before heading out.
​
The next few hours consisted of me going out into the woods near the house in various places and setting up dozens of my little cameras equipped with motion sensors. They were there to give me an idea of the location of anything that got brave enough to get close to the fields that surrounded the house, I would be able to know about anything that was coming to me. I didn’t take too much caution in setting them up. Things never get interesting until nightfall.
​
I returned to the house where I turned on my laptop and assured that all the cameras were connected and working. I could see every single one of them from there and would know if anything so much as moved. I then got situated on a chair by the kitchen table, where I opened the window and set up my .338 rifle to watch the fields with.
​
I suppose it would be worth mentioning why I’m out here, setting up fancy equipment in the woods and loading up an arsenal of guns while I’m alone in a farmhouse that isn’t mine. Let’s back it up.
​
March 1st, 2017, 3:33 am, Iowa
​
Dispatch gets a call from a local farmer. He claims to be looking at a figure standing still at the edge of a treeline on his property. The description given by the farmer was that of a man of average stature and build, clothed in a loose black or grey shirt and trousers and a large-brimmed hat.
​
The farmer tells dispatch that he had awoken abruptly roughly an hour earlier, unspecified as to why. He spotted the figure outside his kitchen window soon after. The figure had been standing near the edge of a row of trees. It was facing the house and hadn’t moved a muscle since the farmer noticed him. The farmer quickly retrieved his rifle and walked out onto his lawn, proceeding to brandish his firearm and tell the trespasser that this property was his and to leave immediately. The farmer, seeing that the man remained unthreatened by his warning and display of a firearm, retreaded back into his home to retrieve his phone and call 9-1-1 as he continued to watch the figure from his porch.
​
During this call, the farmer’s voice was noticeably nervous and frightened. The desperate tone and quivering speech continued to worsen as he went on explaining the situation to dispatch. Dispatch instructed the farmer to remain where he stood and not to approach the trespasser. Dispatch reassured the farmer that the police were on their way. A few quiet and uneventful minutes passed. Then, without warning, the farmer let out a horrified scream through the phone. The call was disconnected seconds later.
​
The police began their over 40-minute drive to the residence. Halfway to their arrival, multiple new calls were coming to dispatch from the farmer’s neighbors. They reported seeing a large stack of smoke coming from the farmer’s home, and the closest reported seeing the house on fire.
​
By the time police arrived, the house had burned to the ground. The fire department arrived shortly after but oddly enough, the fire had completely subsided. What remained was the charred crumbs of what was once a house. The firefighters that arrived on site were bewildered by how quickly the fire must have burned the house. There was no explanation they could fathom.
​
The police searched the nearby fields and woods for the farmer and alleged trespasser to no avail, however, their search was quickly called back upon the findings of the firefighters in the house. The man’s charred bones were found beneath the rubble but not as they should have been. It became clear after further investigation that the man’s limbs were ripped from his body before it was incinerated at an impossible speed. 4 .308 bullet casings were found where the porch of the house used to be. The rifle was found just outside of the house, unscathed despite its proximity to such a violent fire. Forensics confirmed that the rifle had fired these casings but the bullets themselves were never found.
​
This was the first, but far from the last.

Dispatch gets a call from a rancher who spotted a woman in an old-fashioned black and white dress and wearing a linen cap. The rancher claimed the woman was standing amongst his cattle and not moving. The rancher expressed no panic or concern for his safety over the phone, but rather a concern for the woman in the field. The rancher also noted that his cattle kept their distance around the woman.
​
An ambulance arrived at 11:29. Paramedics found no trace of the alleged woman. They walked to the entrance of the rancher’s house and discovered his door to be unlocked and open. After calling for the rancher and getting no response, they stepped inside to be greeted by the corpse of the rancher, hanging from a noose in his stairwell. The man had no history of mental illness and none of his relatives or acquaintances had any reason to believe he was suicidal. Additionally, an autopsy report concluded that both arms were broken in multiple places as well as every finger as if they had been crumpled together by a great force. He could not have tied the noose himself.

​
Dispatch gets a call from another farmer. He had spotted a woman in an old black and white dress and linen cap. The woman had been standing in the long driveway from the road to his house, lit by the lamp that covered it. She stood motionless in the cold, windy, and heavily snowing weather. The farmer and his wife were later found under a collapsed wall of their crumpled house with stones placed on top. They had been placed in a seemingly orderly fashion until there was enough weight to crush their bones.
​
This happens to be the first incident we have on record with photo evidence. A trail cam owned by the farmer and his wife a few acres away from the house caught a picture the night of the incident. It caught a picture of the woman exactly as the farmer had described. Black and white dress, white linen camp. It looked as though she had stepped through time from hundreds of years before and placed like a mannequin in front of the camera.

​
I could go on but the point is that these incidents have been happening more and more frequently and they aren’t stopping. We do know what they are, or at least what they’re supposed to represent to us.
​
Every single one of these “people” lived in North America during the witch trials. We don’t believe they were the ones who were executed. We believe they were the ones who made the accusations, the ones who got their neighbors killed, the ones who carried out the executions and now they’re back to kill again.
​
Luckily, my department picked up on these patterns early on and designated a team to deal with them. There are a few hundred of us. I am in the dark about what everyone does exactly. I haven’t met many but I do know that some find potential incidents, some investigate, some deal with the cover-up and handling the publicity, and then, of course, there are the ones you send in to eradicate the problem. That’s where I come in.
​
I am here to hunt them down, to put them back in their graves so it would seem. Sometimes I get here before they’ve claimed a victim, sometimes after. But their reign of terror comes to an end with me. They’ve never gotten away from me, and I have never failed an assignment. I didn’t plan on this night being any different.
​
A beep sounded from my laptop screen as an outline from one of the cameras lit up, indicating that the motion sensor detected movement. It had been quiet since I set it up, there was not even the slightest sign of wildlife. No deer, no squirrels, nothing. I leaned forward and intently examined the camera that had been triggered. There was nothing to see. Another sensor triggered. Again, the camera showed nothing. My eyes darted from camera to camera, looking for motion. Another camera triggered, though all that I caught sight of was a shaking tree branch. There was no wind today. Another. This time I saw it. A dog-looking figure darted across the camera in only a few frames, but I knew it was no dog.
​
I turned my attention from the cameras to the field in front of me, where the movement had come from. I got behind my rifle and looked down the scope to the treeline in the distance. My heart began to pound in my chest at an intense tempo.
​
I could feel the adrenaline kicking in while I scanned the edge of the field for movement. All that greeted me was the orange glint of the setting sun on the treeline and the tiny shadows of the little stumps of corn stalks in the otherwise empty field. It was silent. Not even a wind accompanied me this evening, though I can’t complain. It’s better for shooting.
​
For a few minutes, I continued to run my scope along the treeline, occasionally getting a peek with my own eyes. It was during one of these peeks when I noticed a color out of place, in between a couple of trees on the other side of the field—some sort of black-and-white spec that was there not a second before. I lowered my head down, back behind the scope, and centered it. As I steadied the scope, a man-like figure standing at the edge of the field came into focus.
​
It wore black, tattered rags of clothing that hung loosely on its rigid frame. It stood still, stiff as a board. Its eyes were fixed on something ahead of it. It took me a moment to realize it was focused on me. It didn’t move a muscle, not even blinking as it stared.
​
I came to my senses and prepared to do my job. I flipped the safety off of my rifle and centered my crosshairs on its chest. I began to breathe deeply, my finger on the trigger, ready to pull but I didn’t take the shot, not yet. I saw it start to move.
​
Even with the distance between us, my scope made the picture of this figure clear as day. The movement came from only one part of its body; its mouth. First, its crusty lips detached from one another and the mouth began to open. Steadily, it opened more, and more all the while the rest of its body and head remained fixed. Its jaw sank to what should have been all the more it could, but it didn’t stop. It fell further, dipping down below its chest, its skin like a stretched rubber band waiting to snap, though it didn’t, it kept stretching.
​
Still stiff as a board, the man-like thing remained with its eyes locked on me while its mouth sat open, impossibly wide. It stood still with its hanging jaw for a moment, a moment I shouldn’t have given it. Now I knew I had my target. I began to apply pressure to the trigger before I was stopped, shaken by a force.
​
A scream, like a choir of souls in despair being dragged off to hell, with the power of a thousand horns sounding the start of a medieval battle rung through the fields. Its volume caused flocks of birds in the nearby trees to fly away in a panic, its bass shuddered through my chest and left me too hypnotized to pull the trigger. I’ll never get used to hearing one of them scream.
​
“Here we go”
​
I muttered to myself, the only thought I could conjure from my brain at the moment.
​
Closing its mouth, it leaped forward and reached for the ground in front of it with its hands fixed like claws. As soon as they met the ground, the feet followed and planted themselves quickly so that it could boost itself forward once again. It had begun its terrible charge. All the while, its face remained fixed on me, rotting teeth exposed and clenched in rage. The speed at which it rushed across the empty field would make a deer running for its life look lazy in comparison, but I was the prey here.
​
Though my heart began to race at the sight of this abomination barreling toward me, this anomaly of hatred and hunger bound to flesh, I remained calm. I began to steady my breathing, taking control of each breath, in and out.
​
Inhale. Exhale.
​
Inhale. Exhale.
​
Inhale. Exhale.
​
Squeeze.
​
The crack of the shot rang out through the dimming sky and the field before me, my response to its enraged scream. I remained fixed on the target, observing the spatter of blood as it shot from its back. It began to scream again, this time rapidly and desperate in tone. I quickly moved the bolt and chambered the next round, accompanied by the soft ring of the brass bouncing on the floorboards under my chair.
​
Although I managed to land a clean shot to the chest, it didn’t do much. It kept running, keeping on at its same speed. Though now it changed its direction and was running adjacent to my position in the house. It was trying to flank me. It wanted to find a way around my line of sight. I couldn’t let it.
​
Again, I took control of my breathing. Slowly, I drifted my rifle on the bipod until the creature came back into view. Its limbs pounded at the ground with speed and power as it propelled itself across the field. I’ll never get used to seeing one run either.
​
Starting behind it, I continued to move the scope, just fast enough to begin gaining on him, just fast enough to let the crosshairs catch up. Inhale. Exhale. The crosshairs slowly began to overtake it. Inhale. Exhale. Squeeze.
​
I chambered the next round quickly. This shot brought him to the ground, but it didn’t keep him there. After a short tumble, it rose and began to run again, this time back towards the woods it came from. Inhale. Exhale. Squeeze.
​
The third shot grazed its back. Frustrated, I chambered another round and took aim, but it was far too late. Before I could even begin to line up my fourth shot, it had taken one final leap from the field back into the treeline it came from.
​
I let out a sigh and hung my head in disappointment. I knew what I had to do next but I sure as hell didn’t want to. The last flickers of sunlight shone through the open window and lit my .338 rifle as I reloaded the magazine. I sat and stared blankly at the screen in front of me, hoping a camera would pick up some sort of movement that could clue me into wherever it ran off to. Knowing my luck, I shouldn’t have expected it to.
​
After coming to terms with reality, I stood up and grabbed my .556, slinging it around my body and letting it hang in front of me. I aimed it down, looking through its sight and testing its laser again before checking the chamber. Good to go. Next, I adjusted the night vision set to my head before picking up my .338 and heading for the door. As I stepped outside, I let out another sigh, this one of stress. Hunting these things at night, on their own turf is never as fun, nor as easy as finishing them quickly from a distance but what choice did I have? I just wanted to get it over with.
​
I flipped down my goggles and switched them on, illuminating the dark field in green and white. I began my long walk across. It took me longer than expected. The speed of that monstrosity caused me to underestimate the size of the field. Each step I took was slow and quiet. I didn’t want the crunch of my feet meeting the dirt and remnants of corn stalks to disturb my hearing. If that thing made a noise, I needed to hear it. If only I could have quieted my incessant heavy, nervous breathing too.
​
I was not even halfway to the treeline when I reached the first pool of blood, where I had shot it for the second time, and it decided to retreat. Bits of flesh were scattered about the ground, but I didn’t care to stop and look. Instead, I focussed on the blood I could see that led back into the woods.
​
Any experienced hunter has had to track a deer or two. It can be very frustrating. The trail isn’t always so clear, and you never know how far it has gotten. In my case, I knew this thing was still alive, and it was angry.
​
I continued my walk, splitting my attention between the blood trail on the ground and the treeline in front of me, scanning for movement and listening. If I was lucky enough, it would have gotten bold and tried to take me down in the field. Unfortunately, I’m not so lucky. Silently, I followed the trail until it met the woods. I stopped walking and calmed myself.
​
I didn’t want to go past those damn trees, but there was no avoiding it. I had a job to do. I extended the bipod of my .338 and lowered it to the ground before raising the stock of my other rifle to my shoulder. I took a deep breath and resumed my walk, now even slower and more cautious. At least now my heavy breathing would be drowned out by the sound of snapping twigs beneath my feet.
​
Immediately upon entering the woods, I spotted the next sight of blood. It came from a tree branch, its leaves covered in the dripping crimson liquid. I walked up to observe, only to notice more blood on the branch above that one. And the next. I noticed the pattern and followed each branch up, one by one, each with its leaves covered in blood. Suddenly a mass moved on top of the tree next to the one I was looking up at.
​
I swung my rifle up, pointing above me at the top of the trees. The mass turned and into view came two glowing eyes, like white lights in my night vision. It opened its mouth again to let out another deafening scream but I raised my rifle and took aim. Its scream was cut short by a bang from my barrel and the thud of the rounds meeting flesh. I was only able to squeeze half a dozen rounds off before it leaped away, to the tops of the neighboring trees.
​
I kept shooting as it jumped from one tree to another, though within seconds it was out of my line of sight. I charged through the woods after it and watched it leap impossible distances, shaking trees so hard I thought some might snap. All the while I kept trying and failing, to line up a clean shot. The ones I did manage to squeeze off were either misses or ineffective.
​
Even at the full-on sprint that I managed to sustain for a good few minutes, I was barely able to keep up. I almost abandoned the chase entirely before I saw an opportunity. There was a clearing ahead. A trail. The distance across was far too wide for it to jump. It took a sharp right once it realized this and began jumping from tree to tree along the trail. I rushed into the opening before kneeling to line up a shot. I followed it with my sights, tracking the timing of each leap, and letting t it land and leap once more before it settled on a new tree. I shot off two more rounds as it braced to leap again.
​
They were perfectly placed and its body tumbled in the air and crashed violently to the ground. Having lined up my sight, I squeezed the trigger again to hear the absence of a gunshot, replaced by the click of the firing pin in the empty chamber. I screamed curses at myself as I quickly exchanged magazines. By the time I looked up, the body was already gone.
​
I got to my feet and continued down the trail at a jog-like pace with my rifle at the ready. I was beginning to get frustrated more than anything. I’ve put dozens of these things in the ground before, I didn’t understand why was I having such a hard time with this one. As I approached a curve in the trail, I slowed my pace and brought the stock of my rifle back to my shoulder. I approached the curve from the outside of the trail, trying to get a clear view of what was beyond when my head violently snapped to the left.
​
My vision went suddenly dark and it took me a few moments to realize that I wasn't dead, nor was I unconscious. Something hit my night vision goggles and knocked them clear off of my head, breaking the mount they sat on. My eyes were only beginning to adapt to the dark when another object came flying towards my head, narrowly missing as it whistled forcefully past my ear. It was a rock, around the size of a football. I couldn’t help but glance behind me in astonishment at the object that had nearly decapitated me before turning my attention back to what threw it.
​
Sure enough, there it was. Standing behind the trees at the corner of the path. I let my anger take control and began to fire rapidly at its torso. My disregard for accuracy hardly mattered at this range. Regrettably, it meant I was now closer than I would have liked and it began to charge. I landed shot after shot. Blood spurted from its back and painted the tree branches and leaves that it passed as it barreled toward me.
​
Again, my magazine went empty. Instead of bothering to reload a new one, I quickly drew my Glock and continued my rapid fire on the beast. It broke into the clearing and fell to all fours before it leaped forward and ran as it had done in the field. It closed the distance between us in seconds.
​
A hand clenched around my throat and I was lifted off of the ground like a feather. It kept running, past the edge of the clearing and carrying me into the woods. I continued to pepper it at point-blank range with my pistol. Between shots, I could hear its hysterical laughter directed at my futile efforts. Its face smiled with a look of sadistic insanity.
​
I continued shooting until my magazine went dry and I was stuck with an empty gun. With nothing else I could do, I began to beat its face with the empty pistol. This seemed to piss it off. It violently threw me through the air. I felt my body snap dozens of branches before I met the ground and rolled uncontrollably.
​
Recovering quickly, I grasped the rifle still slung around me and replaced the empty magazine with a new one. It was mere feet away from me when I started to fire. I got a few shots off before it grabbed my arm. This time I whipped the barrel of my rifle up, clubbing it hard across the face. It let out a short, irritated scream. I thrust my barrel at the top of its head, knocking it back as it emitted another angry grunt. It reached up with its left arm and tried to grab the barrel before half of its fingers were blown off by my next shot. It recoiled its arm in pain before swinging it back at me.
​
Upon contact, my rifle flew out of my hands and the sling came undone from my body as it was thrown far into the woods behind me. I attempted to retreat before he grabbed me with his right hand, and what remained of his left around my neck. Again, I was picked up and it carried me, this time only a short distance to a tree. My back cracked as I was slammed into the bark.
​
It looked up at me and smiled again.
​
“We killed our sinners, we brought justice to our land. We brought justice for God”
​
I ignored its foul speech, lifting an arm and hooking it across the face with a firm punch. It had no effect.
​
“You are all sinners, and you will die for your sins as they did”
​
Again, I struggled and pummeled its face with everything I could muster but it still did nothing.
​
“Now go and burn in the lake of fire”
​
It shouted, before laughing with a dozen sadistic voices all coming from its mouth.
​
It opened its mouth and its jaw was once again stretched to what should be an impossible level. It lowered me until I was level with it. It moved its open mouth toward my head, shaking with rage. Its teeth now inches from my face. Its breath, foul. With my left arm, I drew my knife, slashing it across the chest before plunging it into its neck. I hooked a punch with my right arm that finally caused it to stumble. It wound up its own punch and let it loose. I narrowly escaped, ducking out of the way before its fist met the tree and went right through, splitting it in half before the wood tumbled to the ground.
​
I took this opportunity to draw my .357. He recovered from its punch and faced me, pulling the knife from its neck and letting blood spurt and gush. It stared me down as it slowly approached, ready to deliver its finishing blow.
​
Its head was shaking now, harder than ever in anger, its mouth hung open to half its capacity where it showed its rows of rotting human teeth. I raised my revolver and attempted to steady my sights but I was too shaky. I quickly collected myself. Inhale. Exhale. The front sight became level with the rear. Squeeze.
​
The recoil caused the gun to rise enough for me to get a look at the damage. I clipped its mouth, in the corner of its jaw. It hung open, with one side detached completely. It wailed in pain as it gargled its blood and crumbled to the ground. I aimed again, cocking the hammer. Squeeze. With the second round, I detached its jaw completely.
​
“Let’s see you bite me now, fucker”
​
I painfully muttered with anger. It dropped my knife and was now laying flat on its back, breathing heavily. I approached, cocking the revolver again as I did. It reached out with its mangled hand but I kicked it away before placing my barrel to its skull. Squeeze. And then silence.
​
After dragging the body back to the field, I spent the next few hours retrieving my lost and damaged equipment, as well as tediously finding every one of my cameras. I then retrieved my vehicle and drove it to the edge of the field. There was just one more thing to do.
​
I opened my trunk and pulled out the metallic box. I don’t understand why they make these things so goddamn heavy. I opened it and placed the corpse inside before securing the extremely heavy-duty lock. Next was the hole. It wasn’t easy digging after I had been roughed up and tossed around by an undead religious maniac with superhuman strength, but at least this was the last thing I had to do.
​
I finished digging the hole, placed the metal casket inside, and covered it up. From there, I collected my equipment, packed it up, and took off. Supposedly there’s a cleanup crew that comes in after we’re done with these missions and destroys any bizarre evidence.
​
I suspect they take the body as well. Where do they take it? What do they do with it? I have no clue but I’ve been strictly reminded to not ask questions on the matter and to just stick to doing my job. Still, I always find myself wondering.
​
What I have even more questions about is why these things exist in the first place. What the hell is going on? Why them? Why now? Has this been going on for longer than I know? Am I being lied to? What happens next, in the future, if this keeps going on? It’s only been getting worse. They’ve only been popping up more and more frequently. When does it end? Does it end?
​
I have more questions than I do answers but what I can tell you is that this problem isn’t going away anytime soon. It’s only going to get worse. There are only going to be more of them, not less. The death toll will only continue to rise. People are going to find out sooner or later. It might as well be now. Maybe we will stop them. Maybe this will all come to an end one day, or maybe we are the ones who are all going to meet our end. Either way, I’ll be there to see it.
