Phish set list

Hi,
I just built a new computer trying to stay within budget (~$600) and in between building a computer with a good gaming performance but also some machine learning capabilities. After some research this is my list:

1. MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries Motherboard
   
2. Kingston NV2 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe Internal SSD
   
3. ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC
   
4. Apevia ATX-ES600-RGB Essence 600W ATX
   
5. TEAMGROUP T-Create Classic 10L DDR4 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB)
   
6. AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500 with AMD cooler.
   
7. Cooler Master MasterBox MB320L ARGB Micro-ATX
   

Everything powers-up as I can see all the fans working, RGB lights, etc. The MSI motherboard doesn't show any diagnostics lights, i.e., none of the LED for CPU/VGA/BOOT etc. are on. Everything seems fine but there is no video, nothing. I don't see the BIOS screen. Of course, first instinct is to do a BIOS update. However, personally, I don't like to update the BIOS if I don't have to. From the S/N on the motherboard I see the manufacture date is March 2023. According the MSI the compatible BIOS version for Ryzen 5500, 7C95v2A , is March 2022, so one year before.
From this I am assuming that the motherboard does have an update version that should support my current CPU also, as I mentioned, there is no LED diagnostic light for the CPU. According to the MSI compatibility site and maketecheasier.com, all the parts are compatible with the disclaimer that the BIOS version should be 7C95v2A which, in my case, is one year older than the manufacture date.
I tried different monitor cables, monitor, unplugged and replugged the video card, RAM memory, etc.
I am far from being a PC expert but I have put together a few computers over years, I thought I was gonna get the RGB cables wrong, but I was not expecting having no video at all. I don't have spare parts to test much. My nuclear option is to do the BIOS update via Flash BIOS button but I think it is an unnecessary risk given the manufacture/BIOS version dates.
​
I would appreciate any advise, specially if someone has the same set up.
​
Thanks!

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Under $1750
• Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Priorities ranked are long battery life (at least 9-10 with light use) , build quality, performance (being able to game will be nice but definitely not required)
• How important is weight and thinness to you? The lighter the better; hoping to stay under 4 lbs
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 13-14 inches
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Nop. This will mainly be for college. Studying MIS
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Only game that I may play is the WW2 shooter enlisted. Do not care about turning down settings to minimum lolol
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Looking for something built well enough to last me at least 3-4 years, or hopefully as long as that of a MacBook.
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I've taken a look at the following three laptops: HP dragonfly pro, Thinkpad Z13, Zenbook S13 OLED 2023. I've heard great things about the battery life of the HP and Thinkpad (especially the HP) but do prefer having the great port selection found on the S13.
• I am well aware that a M2 air or a M1 Pro offers great battery life, build quality and good performance, but after playing around with macOS I found I do prefer windows. I find tab management much better on windows, and the limit on the number of external displays limiting. I also do not like how the menu bar + notch takes up a good amount of vertical space when browsing. I do respect the build quality, most particularly the trackpad of Macs.
• I am currently leaning towards the S13 for a few main reasons. The oled screen would be a nice to have. On Jarrod's tech's review of it he rated the battery life at around 11 hours which would suffice. I am a fan of Asus' laptops as I used to own a ROG g15, and value how innovative the company is with their products. The S13 OLED also is the most portable out of the three devices I researched, and price wise is the most compelling. ($1200 OB excellent for 32gb ram and 1tb ssd) I am open to other suggestions however.

Stock engine wise ~ 48K miles
I want some more power now but with the greedspeed situation I want to avoid upgrading the jpipe.
My idea is to do Processwest TMIC/charge pipe, Cobb intake+turbo inlet, Cobb catback, GS EBCS, walnut blasting, AOS, spark plugs and a protune. I'm not chasing high hp numbers because it''s still a DD for now but I did see someone in a similar spot get 280whp with just a top mount, charge pipe, and intake.
What I'm really curious about though is if I do this and then get the upcoming flex fuel kit allegedly coming out this year, will it be okay to run that with a stock jpipe? I know its the most restrictive part of the exhaust and it's better to upgrade it for power's sake but if I want to be compliant, would it be hurtful to the engine to keep it stock with the listed set up plus flex fuel? I imagine with a good protune that is not too aggressive, it should be fine?

Hello all friendlies! I have the joy of introducing someone to what a Tori concert entails this year, and at Red Rocks of all places! Truly blessed. I have been slowly introducing the amazing body of work that is Tori, but if anyone could please share set lists from NA tour here I would so appreciate it! TiA.

I typically judge the Electric comp but won't be able to make it this year. If teams are interested, I'm willing to spend 30 mins with you virtually to go through your design and help you prep for comp. I typically judge the area called "System Management / Integration", which covers system integration, electrical design, program management, etc. I can also give general advice on EE/SW topics as well as controller architecture.
If you're interested, feel free to DM me to set up a time block. I'll try to support as many as I can, but it will be first come first serve. Best of luck at comp!
Side note: I've created a separate account for anonymity. This is not a phishing scam; I'm legitimately willing to offer my time to the community and help teams prep for comp. In return, I get exposure to the rising talent (and potential future interns at my company), which was always a benefit of DJing.

AoaB part 5 volume 4 has started with an absolutely wonderful set of chapters. So much so that I had to put down the reading and write this down and share it (also because my reading partner had a long day and went to sleep, but my point is I had an amazing experience)!
​
Chapters in question: Archducal family meeting, Melchior and Preparing for the Temple, The Will of the Leisegangs
​
The reason I had so much fun is that a multitude of very different worldbuilding pieces set up by Miya Kazuki over long years are coming to a head and interacting in a glorious sequence of dialogue! The density of background to each line written is so engaging to read and this would not be possible without the mountain of worldbuilding that went on in previous volumes! To give an idea of the sheer range of background, here's a list of all the pieces that are interacting that I could think of:
​
0.) The timeline of past events that led to this situation:
​
The infiltration of Ehrenfest by nobles from a greater duchy eventually leading to Veronica's tyranny and a split of the nobles into powerful factions that foster intense hatreds, the continued threat from this in the form of Georgine and the precarious position the duchy finds itself in internally and externally as having low population and small duchy mentality but at the same time higher and higher rank.
​
1.) The people in the meeting and their relationships with each other:
​
Sylvester: The archduke who wants the best for every member of his family but also his duchy, however his selfish desire to devote himself to Florencia leaves him struggling to secure support after he axed most of his previous support base during the purge. He seems to be feeling some hidden pressures as strangely he is cautioning against the positive change affected by Rozemyne and co...
​
Florencia: The only wife and leader of a noblewoman faction who has to share Sylvester's burdens and somehow cope with a pregnancy at the same time
​
Wilfried: The boy who can't seem to mature fast enough to deal with being expected to succeed and being influenced as well as looked down upon by seemingly everyone outside of his immediate family (his retainers, the royal family, fellow archduke candidates). He has experienced Rozemyne as both a saviour and a troublemaker (lately mostly the latter, an attitude which puts him at odds with Rozemyne's retainers) and appears very susceptible to his father's pressures
​
Melchior: The bright-eyed little bro who just wants to help, but can already feel the weight of temple burdens on the horizon
​
Rozemyne: The narrator who is... several things to countless people and therefore somehow involved in everything and anything we can think of in this world, even though she would rather hole up with some books and leave everything to others. Alas, everything would fall apart if she did that, so we need her to bounce back from mental hits and find motivation through emotional connection. In the meantime Hartmut, one of her Leisegang retainers, is watching and reveals quite a bit of insight later. Her other Leisegang nobles are blind-sided by what their faction is doing and not happy
​
Charlotte: The emotionally intelligent sister who while bitter about being put underneath Wilfried has found purpose in supporting Rozemyne. She has some Leisegang retainers and her experience with the printing industry puts her in a position to understand what logistics they are up against. It is her empathy-driven spit-session that starts to bring out what's really going on and breathes new life into Rozemyne whose emotional connection was slipping away
​
Bonifatius: The loving grandpa who wants Rozemyne out of the temple and preferrably in line to succeed
​
Karstedt (presumably not in the meeting, though indirectly a relative): The father who is overworked from all the purging and Lord of Winter hunting and family troubles with his second wife being a criminal and his sons all having different allegiances. Luckily his first wife Elvira is a great pillar of support for everyone
​
Ferdinand (absent): The once-backbone of the family whose absence casts long and heavy shadows during this time when everyone is scrambling for mental and physical support
​
2.) Various locations in the duchy:
​
Groschel: One of the Leisegang strongholds. Had some bumps in setting up printing due to lack of local resources and now faces more bumps getting ready for many merchants from other duchies due to lack of hygiene and inns.
​
Noble buildings: Lots of unattended furniture leftover from the purge that can be utilised.
​
The temple: Normally shunned by everyone, is now finally getting well-deserved recognition due to various nobles including Charlotte and Wilfried participating, and other nobles finding more and more reason to offer mana and pray.
​
The orphanage and playroom: Children affected by the purge are getting sheltered or educated in these locations which Rozemyne helped set up.
​
3.) The timeline of future events and projects that need to be managed:
​
Stabilising the duchy: Getting nobles to settle down in their positions and restructuring archducal retainers takes some time and the Leisegang faction will have a great impact on any support base going forward
​
Climbing rank in the royal academy: Certain nobles are unable or unwilling to keep up with the changing status of their duchy
​
The archduke conference: If trade deals are made it will put quite a bit of pressure on Groschel and on Myne to manage the industry and infrastructure
​
Rozemyne's graduation: She will leave the temple and so Melchior will need to be trained to replace her as High Bishop. Also she will need first wife training in time to prepare. Where to find the time for all this amid the other issues?
​
4.) The different factions inside and outside the duchy who require different politics:
​
The commoners: Most of them are used to filth and will need guidance to keep a city clean. There aren't any scholars who know how to handle them in a reasonable manner, except Rozemyne. Most of the craftsmen and nobles are used to having a one-to-one relationship which hinders large scale projects
​
The former Veronica faction: Decimated, but clinging to Wilfried as their last bastion, they will need to feel safe enough to be integrated
​
The Leisegangs: The older generation mostly wants to resist change. They have lots of hatred for the other faction and support Rozemyne for succession. The elder ones are plotting in a traditional way. The younger generation has been swayed by Rozemyne's ways and sees the benefits of change in the Royal Academy
​
The Florencia faction: Gathering information and trying to bridge the gap between the two aforementioned factions
​
The royal family: As if taking away Ferdinand wasn't stressful enough, now they are putting more pressure on Ehrenfest to act like their rank and on Wilfried to act like his status. They are also immensely stressed and so appreciate Rozemyne's help, although any contact with them causes Ehrenfest's higher-ups untold stress
​
Other duchies: Some are bullying Ehrenfest from above (Dunkelfelger unintentionally, Ahrensbach intentionally), some from below (resentful of the higher rank) and others are just happy to be connected. Many of them are hoping for trade deals which puts further pressure on Ehrenfest

First off would like to say thank you for taking the time read my post and I appreciate any advice given.
Second, like the title says looking to get some advice for a budget Gaming/Video Editing PC. I'm not looking for 4k Ultra settings or 4K videos especially when the YouTubers and streamers that could afford those high end builds still upload/stream at 1080p still.
I've been told to get the i5 12600k but trying to save a little cash and wanted to know if the i5 12400 paired with an RX 6700 xt would be good enough for 1080p video editing? Also I will be adding more storage later right now 1tb meets my needs and I have an External 4tb hard drive just in case.
Here's my full parts list:
CPU: Intel Core i5-12400
CPU Cooler: Deepcool AG400 BK ARGB
Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M AORUS ELITE AX Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5200 CL40 Memory
Storage: TEAMGROUP T-Force Cardea Z44L 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: XFX Speedster SWFT 309 Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card

I am purchasing a home and the closing date is in less than 2 weeks. I work from home and wanted to do the best to set up my workstation ASAP to iron out any kinks before the week after when I return to work....so I order Teksavvy and set an install date for 2 days after I get the keys.
As a new customer that has only used to Bell or Rogers, I thought that that date I selected was the day I would get the modem and everything set up.
But now there is a modem being shipped to a house I do not own yet. Can't call support until the morning and the "redirect" tool on the delivery service is not working. Kind of an embarrassing mistake, but is it not expected when moving to a new house you plan the internet install?
Anyways, this was just a rant.
​
edit: my realtor will let the listing agent know to save my ass. Leaving this up for any future clueless newbies.

This fanfic is intended to take place some time around late volume 6, and involves a lot of thoughts I've had on the Antinium and their situation in Liscor. I hope it's enjoyable.
​
​
There were many quirks and oddities that surrounded the Wandering Inn, open secrets that could only be called ‘rumours’ because most didn’t believe them at first. Perhaps ‘attractions’ was a better word, people and connections and events and things that made the place much more than a simple inn. The [Princess] helping manage the place, for instance, who was really quite bad at lying if you caught her by surprise with the question. The [Garden of Sanctuary], which wasn’t open to just any random person who walked in, but they’d at least let you look through the door if you asked. The weight-lifting room, which had a clientele all of its own separate from the inn’s regular group of customers, muscular Drakes and Humans who talked about ‘feeling the burn’ and listed off numbers that were inscrutable to outsiders.
There was one tradition, one kind of event, that was older than most of the others though. Even through the Wandering Inn’s destruction, and then its second destruction, it had persisted. To the regulars of the place, it barely even passed the bar of noteworthiness anymore, because really, what was so special about another band of Antinium visiting the inn?
Still, they came, Workers and Soldiers who had never seen the sky before, newly hatched or older (though almost all of the old ones had been at least once by now), led by Klbkch, just as he had that first time. The task was no longer his responsibility, as most of the Painted Antinium would’ve been capable of handling it, and it seemed like he couldn’t walk in the Hive these days without tripping over more individuals. But when he was off from [Guardsman] duty, and the Free Queen didn’t require his presence, and he was thinking of going up to the inn anyway, well. Even to an old soul like him, there was something charming about watching young Antinium look around in awe, before gobbling down the acid flies they were given so fast they sometimes choked.
Erin came over as he entered with the latest group, mostly Workers this time, and they exchanged greetings. But she quickly went to busy herself with the new arrivals, which was fine by him. He stood and watched as she seated the Workers at their own table and explained the basic concept of a menu to them, how they could choose which of the food items they wanted. One of them asked which was the most nutritionally optimal, and she decided to give up on the menu for a moment and ordered them a large bowl of flies as an appetiser, which was another concept she had to explain.
The inn wasn’t particularly packed today, but most of the tables were occupied, and Klbkch ended up finding himself a seat opposite Menolit. The Drake seemed oddly reserved as he drank from a mug, only glancing up as the Antinium approached.
“May I?”
Menolit nodded, and Klbkch sat down. He caught Ishkr’s eye from across the room, the [Head Waiter] waving to let him know his usual order would arrive soon: A plate stacked with bacon, topped with whatever spices and chilis the kitchen had on hand. It was nice to be in a place where people knew you.
As he waited, he noticed Menolit gazing in Erin’s direction, watching her put the Antinium at ease. Without any prelude, the Drake spoke.
“It really is something. She’s done a lot for you bugs, hasn’t she? Helped you turn over a whole new leaf.”
There was a slight slur to his speech. Only a small dulling on the edges of his words, but still, it was there. Klbkch’s voice was mild and polite as he gave the Drake his attention.
“Erin has indeed been helpful in socialising Workers and Soldiers. We owe much to her.”
“You know, one of your Workers actually apologised for bumping into me the other day. Can’t imagine that happening a few years ago. More likely to stand in the way of a cart and get run over.”
Menolit snorted, before raising the mug to his mouth. Klbkch didn’t react.
“I recall several events of that nature, yes. The rate has thankfully declined.”
“Do you remember, when your Hive first moved in, we thought you’d all crawl out of the sewers and stab us while we slept?”
He spoke as if it was simply an embarrassing misunderstanding, an instance of confusion he looked back on with humour. But he refused to meet the Antinium’s eyes as he drank from his cup once more, and it occurred to Klbkch that he had never really spoken to Menolit much before. The [Veteran] stayed out of trouble, and while they were both regulars of the Wandering Inn, their paths didn’t overlap often.
Many people were interested in talking to the Slayer, the Relevantor of the Free Hive, about the Antinium and their past, and he was used to how such conversations went. He was used to barely-disguised hatred, or curiosity, or the guarded respect one had for a potential enemy. But he wouldn’t have expected such things from the inn’s regular clientele. This felt different.
“I recall. The suspicion was quite understandable, at the time, but I am glad that we are past that now.”
Menolit sighed, pressing his palm into his forehead as he looked down at the wood, idly tapping his cup on its surface. His eyes flicked to Klbkch, then away again to Erin, who was introducing the Antinium to the fun idea of throwing food at each other and catching it in your mouth, with limited success.
“Ten years. Or… just one, really. That’s all it took. The mighty Black Tide…”
He seemed to be half-talking to himself, and Klbkch was unsure if a response was warranted. Thankfully, any awkwardness was rescued when Ishkr came by their table, dropping off the plate of bacon, as well as a small serving of fries for Menolit. He moved without stopping, already turning to attend to another table, until the Drake called him back.
“Another fill-up, Ishkr?” He raised his mug, and the Gnoll frowned for a moment. But he took it anyway, and within a minute it was back in Menolit’s claws, filled with foamy amber liquid.
Nothing but the sound of eating passed between them for a short while, chewing and crunching as they enjoyed the delights of unhealthy cooking. Klbkch estimated that it would be at least half an hour before the Antinium were ready to leave, which left him plenty of time to make his rounds in the inn and get some advice. Liscor’s Watch had recently acquired a collection of chess sets, allegedly to help train more [Tactician]-type classes that the city could use, and the more competitive [Guards] had taken to playing matches against each other. Klbkch liked to figure himself as having a modicum of skill at the game, but when Beilmark had lanced through his formation while losing less than half of her own pieces, he’d had to admit he’d gotten a bit rusty. Perhaps a game or two against Palt, or Pisces, or… probably not Bird, would help refresh his understanding--
Menolit grunted, clearing his throat in that way people did when they wanted to pretend they didn’t have something to say. Klbkch pushed aside his plate, and waited patiently for the question to come.
“You lot came from Rhir, didn’t you?”
“That is correct.”
“I remember hearing about you, decades ago.” Menolit leaned forwards, as if trying to see something in Klbkch’s insectile eyes, before sitting backwards again. “Rumours from returning soldiers, about black-shelled monsters that dug up beneath your feet. I thought they were just stories. You can’t believe half the things you hear about that bloody continent.”
‘Bloody’ was right, Klbkch thought. And half the things he knew would’ve made Menolit fall right out of his chair. Hidden truths worth fighting a war over.
“I believe that many people would do well to give Rhir more attention than it receives.”
“Oh? Why’s that?”
“It is important.”
The Drake waited, until it became apparent that was all Klbkch had to say on the matter. He exhaled with frustration, taking a sip from his cup as he glared at the Antinium. A nearby Drake working under Chaldion lowered his notebook in disappointment.
“While I do not mind conversing with you on trivial matters, I am sure you understand there are certain topics that I am not at liberty to discuss in detail,” Klbkch continued. Menolit rolled his eyes, and his words came out slowly.
“You’ve got a lot of secrets, don’t you. Been living under our tails for the past decade, you’d think we’d know more about you. Don’t even know what your damn Hive looks like.”
Klbkch was once more struck by that odd feeling. It was as if he was a newcomer to the city again, bearing the enmity and distrust of a species on his back. He almost felt… insulted? No, absolutely not, he hadn’t gotten that soft over the last year. But it was certainly bizarre to encounter such a thing in the Wandering Inn. If nothing else, he was surprised that Erin hadn’t thrown Menolit out yet, if he was truly like this. And if not, then where was this coming from?
Klbkch spread his arms reassuringly. “Well, I am right here. Do you have any pressing questions you wish to ask? I promise to be truthful, as long as the answers are not confidential.”
Menolit waved a hand in the air, dismissing Klbkch’s offer as he finished his cup. That was his second drink since Klbkch had come in, and he’d had at least one before that, the Antinium judged. His tongue was looser, now, yet the sense of dancing around what he wanted to talk about was more palpable than ever.
“I was enlisted, you know. In the first war. There was news about you bastards every week, killing Drakes, claiming more of our territory. I served under Sserys. I… wasn’t here, though. When he broke the Tide, turned you back. Stationed at some damn city in the south, too far to help.” He winced at the memory, but the shame was dulled, only there when he focused on it. “I was discharged from the army by the time the second one started. Still would’ve dropped everything and gone off to fight, but for my kids. Barely old enough to hold a coin, back then.”
He sounded shaky, emotional. But Klbkch spoke calmly, trying to put him at ease.
“I am certain your family is thankful, Menolit. It is a tragedy for children to lose their parents.”
“It sure is. But I don’t see how you’d know anything about that.”
Klbkch thought for a moment, before nodding at Menolit.
“That may be true. I am, however, well-versed in warfare. With your experience, you would have been a formidable soldier to face, so as a representative of the Antinium, allow me to thank you for not killing hundreds of our forces.”
The Drake’s face lit up, his frustration vanishing for a moment at the compliment.
“You really think I would’ve done that well? I mean, I reckon I could cut down at least a couple dozen of you buggers before you got me, but hundreds…”
It wasn’t even a lie, if you considered kills over the duration of a campaign, and not a single battle. Klbkch estimated Menolit’s [Veteran] class as being in the low 20’s, which made him more than capable of cutting through any single Worker or Solider. Even against a handful, he would’ve had a good chance. Of course, in a real war the Antinium would never use such small numbers, but that wasn’t worth mentioning.
The two were distracted at that moment, as were others, by an exclamation from Erin. Apparently, she’d just had a brilliant idea for a new invention, running off to grab something as the Antinium waited patiently. The inn held its breath, visitors eager to see what she would come up with this time, wondering what they would get the honour of seeing first, of being able to claim that they were ‘there’ when it happened. The [Innkeeper] returned with a spring in her step, her arms full of as many pillows as she could hold, and she explained her vision in two words.
“Cushioned seats!”
Everyone paused for a moment, before letting out the breath they’d been holding and went back to whatever they were doing. Someone explained to her that they already had those, if not ones you could buy cheaply, which dampened her mood slightly. Nevertheless, she walked back to the Antinium and began giving each one a pillow to sit on.
Menolit laughed, snorts of mirth he failed to stifle. As they came to an end, he shook his head, smiling ruefully.
“It really is something. Just a single Human. Who would’ve thought something like that was possible, before she arrived? You ever think about that, Klbkch? Where we’d still be, if Erin hadn’t mixed everything up?”
“I have considered such a hypothetical. I find it likely the status quo would be largely in it's prior state, though it is hard to imagine what differences there would’ve been in events such as the Humans’ attempt to conquer Liscor.”
“Sure, sure. We’d still be ignoring you in the streets, you’d still be… doing whatever you were doing before. But this is better, isn’t it?”
It was on the tip of Menolit’s tongue, now, something he still didn’t want to say directly. Frankly, Klbkch was getting curious as to just what exactly was burning the Drake up inside.
“Yes, I would say so. It has been a vastly beneficial change to both Liscor and the Hive.”
“It’s just… it makes you think. Makes me think, anyway. Because she’s, she’s special, that’s obvious.” He gestured at Erin, trying to encapsulate what she was and failing. He turned back to Klbkch, and his voice became quiet as he addressed the Antinium. “But… she didn’t have to be, did she?”
Menolit quickly raised his cup, staring at its emptiness for a moment before letting it slump back to the table.
“What do you mean?” Klbkch was almost certain he knew. But he wanted to be sure.
“She gave you food, and talked to you, and taught you chess. That’s all anyone could tell me.”
“And that was enough,” Klbkch said simply. Menolit’s face fell.
“There were no secrets? No…” He searched for words, groping for what he wanted to be the truth. “No rituals? No special key to fixing you?”
Klbkch stared at the Drake, who grew increasingly uncomfortable in his seat. Finally, the Antinium spoke, drawing out his words slowly.
“Is it strange to you that we respond well to kindness and understanding?”
Menolit shifted in place, gripping the table with his claws hard enough to leave marks. When he finally met the Antinium’s gaze, he smiled, as if his internal struggle had finally been resolved.
“I guess not. Maybe that’s what we should’ve done. Just invited you to have a tea party, gossiped about the neighbours, gave you some… soft chairs.” He laughed again, a throaty chuckle that transitioned to a cough part way through, before he spoke again. “That’s all it would’ve taken, eh, Klbkch? Tea and crumpets, like the [Ladies] do it?”
The Antinium stayed silent, but Menolit didn’t stop, standing up from his chair as his voice began to rise.
“Well it sure would’ve been nice to know that! Could’ve avoided a whole bloody war, if only we’d been nice, hah! Doesn’t that say a lot about Drakes? It was our fault for being bastards! Dead gods, of course it was!”
He slapped his forehead theatrically, as if stunned at the enormity of this realisation. People at nearby tables were starting to look over, and it wouldn’t be long before someone drew Erin’s attention. Quickly, Klbkch got to his feet, placing a hand on the Drake’s shoulder.
“I believe you have had too much to drink, Menolit. It would not do well for you to make a scene.”
The [Veteran] froze, though Klbkch hadn’t activated any Skills. He looked around the room, like he was just now noticing his fellow eaters’ presence. His breathing slowed, and he stepped back, wobbling slightly before catching his feet.
“Of course. Of course.” He grinned at the Antinium. “Good old [Guardsman] Klbkch, always there to keep the peace. Don’t you worry, sir. I’ll make sure this unruly fellow gets home before causing any trouble.”
Carefully, he turned to go, and the little bubble of silence that had surrounded them eroded as nearby people started up their conversations once more. But he muttered something under his breath as he left, bitter words Klbkch couldn’t help hearing.
“If you were people this whole damn time, why did you act like monsters…”
Slowly, Klbkch returned to his seat, finishing up the bacon that still remained on his plate. It didn’t taste quite as good, anymore.
He could understand Menolit’s feelings. Because indeed, the Antinium had been monsters, a scourge plaguing the lands of Izril, slaughtering the Drakes without mercy, without even communicating any terms beyond the message their destruction left behind. That had been the plan.
And it still was, in a sense. Not one they were actively pursuing right now. But every Hive, even the Free Queen’s, had a plan of action in place for if they decided that a war was the best course of action. Liscor knew this, and the Hive knew Liscor knew this, and it would be a short and bloody chess match if either side ever decided to move first. Despite that, people trusted the Antinium in their streets, and slept soundly with tunnels beneath their homes, and Klbkch liked that. He had little against Drakes personally, and would’ve contested the notion of an all-out war, if it had been put forward by one of the other Hives.
If, on the other hand, his kin in Rhir sent more forces? A fully-trained [Queen], another Centenium, even just Workers capable of forming a proper Unistasis Network might tip the balance against the Drakes. And if the order came to conquer Izril and transform it into the Hivelands, then he would lead the Black Tide once more, from the South to the North, until either New Landing or him had finally fallen. Because Rhir was important, and what they had to do there mattered more than anything else, and that was all there was to it. All of this-- and Klbkch looked around the inn, Liscor, his life for the two decades-- all of this, was just a distraction. Busywork. An attempt for shipwrecked Antinium to do something that might one day be actually helpful in their real fight. They’d tried taking over, and when the Drakes had proven too tough, they’d stopped, and it wouldn’t have made much of a difference whether they’d been welcomed with open arms or hunted down from the first sighting.
If a second fleet did come to pass, though, he’d still argue for an exception. The Painted Antinium, Pawn’s… religion, these were genuine developments, evidence demonstrating the potential that could result from cohabiting with a friendly populace. But Liscor would never, ever, go along with it, and the mental picture felt wrong, unable to exist in reality. What Drake could possibly tolerate the rest of their species being overrun and slain, allowed to live in a single city so long as they kept having ‘interesting interactions’ with their new [Lords]? Every Drake he knew would rather fight, than let themselves be reduced to mere pets. And so they would die.
A memory rose unbidden in Klbkch’s mind, of Relc winking at him, and the Antinium flinched, before relaxing once more. He didn’t think about such things often, even if they were always held in the back of his mind. It was… unpleasant. Relc and Erin had never asked questions along such lines, and he hoped they never would.
Looking over, Klbkch saw the young Antinium sitting on their pillows, pouring over the menu that finally made sense to them. The [Innkeeper] was there, answering their questions (she’d apparently told them to raise their hands when they had something to ask, which had led to a short arms-race of one, then two, then three, then all four limbs being raised as they tried to get her attention first). But that wasn’t all. One member of the group had wandered over to sit with Olesm, who was explaining the rules to a game that astonishingly, wasn’t chess. Another, shorter one (some error in the birthing pod had stunted his growth, though he was still as strong as a regular Worker) was rolling a ball back and forth with Mrsha and a Drake child Klbkch didn’t recall the name of.
He would agree in a heartbeat that Erin was special. The closest person he knew to her was Xrn, and Erin was not like Xrn. But there had been something to Menolit’s words, Klbkch felt. Because if she had never arrived in Liscor, if things had gone on the way they had been, he could still imagine that years in the future, perhaps there would’ve been a young Drake with open-minded parents, who hadn’t witnessed the Antinium Wars herself. Who’d seen the ants working in the streets, and met the nice and friendly [Guardsman] Klbkch. And maybe one day, she’d have given them food, and talked to them, and played some kind of game with them, and it all would’ve happened anyway, if a little differently.
Or maybe not. Drakes could be bastards, after all. Still, he liked to believe something along those lines, or else he never would’ve come to Liscor in the first place.
Standing from his seat, he went to pay for both his and Menolit’s orders, before going off to find a chess set. Beilmark wouldn’t know what hit her.
​
​
(Truthfully, I doubt Menolit would actually say the kinds of things he does here. But I do think there would be some Drakes who think along these lines, after spending time in the Wandering Inn.)

Hitman: Codename 47 is the game that started a whole franchise and presented one of games' most recognizable characters: Agent 47. This game has great ideas impaired by technical limitations, both from the technology of the time and the budget, but counters it by having fun gameplay and a flawless story.
It is amazing how intelligent games were back then, detailing storylines and interesting characters displayed with an easy-to-follow presentation. At the beginning of every mission you go to a briefing where you learn about your target and the details surrounding the hit you are going to perform. This is presented all in text and all you have to do is read it. One of the most interesting aspects of the game is the video of the target filmed by an ICA agent - which gives us an idea of how organized the Agency is.
After the briefing you have the mission map and the equipment list of what you want to bring with you in order to complete your mission. So read the briefing, study the map and pay attention to your surroundings - patrolling paths, NPCs you can talk to, different entry points etc. The game almost always gives you several different courses of action, but it is much more linear than its sequels. There is always one strategy that was clearly the one intended by the developers and level designers; if you are having a very hard time in a mission, or if you take much longer than 10 minutes, chances are you're on the wrong track. Missions take around 5-10 minutes to complete, provided you know what you have to do. You might be able to complete missions in a different way, but it will usually be a much, much harder way.
Hitman: Codename 47 is a stealth game and, therefore, discourages shootouts - but they do happen as part of some missions. This one is a feature I like, even if the moving and shooting mechanics are clanky, as killing a few guards shows how heavily protected your targets are. You have to do that in the Ochoa mission and the Rotterdam missions; and I dread how this feature was abondened in later games. Agent 47 was cloned through the DNA of his French Foreign Legion fathers not to be just an assassin, but to be the perfect soldier; so he knows how to handle himself in a firefight.
This game also has some great details, such as the greatest voice line ever uttered in a video game: "I need to use the BATHroom".
You have to chat with NPCs in order to gather intel, so pay attention. Some voice dialog are weird and somewhat funny, but Lei Ling's best voice is in this version. You will mostly hear “He’s packing!” and “This guys is loaded!” at first, but dialogue such as Ort-Meyer's provide needed context.
The most enduring feature of the Hitman series is the collective of creative kills and approaches, and many of those came from movies (as the game itself). The hit on the Chief of Police took the idea of planting the pistol in the bathroom from the God Father. Ochoa's character is taken from Al Pacino's Tony Montana (Scarface) but the mission looks really based in Sniper (1993) - the targets in both game and movie are called Ochoa - and the soldiers really look like a South American drug army.
One of the most creative missions is "Traditions of the Trade" (the best version), where you have to talk to NPCs and have many different ways of killing Fritz - plus an emblematic hit on Frantz.
Ochoa is the most wronged of the fathers in the series: Colombia has a more military feel, already opening with 47 looking like a jungle warrior king in the loading screen and then rappeling into the middle of the jungle by helicopter. Plus exotic natives, leaf physics and Ochoa's threats during the gunfight - that are hilarious. With all 5 fathers having served in Indochina, the jungle setting is a nice touch and should have been remade (albeit smaller and self-contained in one mission).
Cutscenes and loading screens are great: the cutscene of Tzun protecting Lee Hong from Agent 47 and the killing of Fritz Fuchs in the pool or the sauna.
Given this game was first conceived as a Chinese mobster action game, it is no surprise the Hong Kong missions are so memorable. The presentation screen of Lee Hong, the Lei Ling character arc, saving Agent Smith, and getting the jade figurine.
While people make some constructive complaints, some of them are not - like not having a command for dropping a body, even though all you need to do is hit the right mouse button, something I got right the first time I played (back in the day).
This game is not hard if you're well informed but it's punishing; its main flaw being the faulty AI, with an awereness problem and very thick skin. The guards' AI has only two modes - idle and combat - and sometimes they simply "know" 47 is bad news. Nowhere in this game is this more evident than in Ochoa's hit, with guards attacking you for no reason, and that's why so many people hate it.
Add to that the poor knife mechanic where you can easily slit someone's throat with it, but if he moves you go into a thrust mode. One or two strikes is something you can do before being shot, but needing 4-6 stabs to kill a target is simply too much.
Another complaint about the Colombian missions is the "bad design" of the enemy camp, where you need to run all over the other side of the fence to enter the camp; but this is misplaced, as the design both serves to show you the size of the camp with its many guard patrols, showing how well-guarded the drug lord is, and also because you sneaked from behind said camp.
The main strengths of this game are the story and the atmosphere. The soundtrack made by Jesper Kyd is simply amazing and conveys a perfect immersion to the different settings - action, suspense, fear. My favorites are the Hong Kong and Colombian settings, with their exotic themes. Maps are quite big and populated. The henchmen in each mission are also expertly done and genuine: they range from Chinese Triad members to Colombian drug soldiers, biker gangsters and masked gunrunners. The NPCs are also diverse, with bartenders, hotel staff and sex workers. The presentation is near flawless with unique signature kills and different approaches to make the perfect hit, giving Agent 47 a solid entry into the assassination business.

• I wrote this review on Steam, if you like it give it a thumbs up there.

On the LifeInsideThePage blog, certain scents are said to be 50% off. Does this include gift sets?
Also, is everything in that scent 50% off? What about the things where underneath, certain products are listed as 75% off? Also, what about the ones that overlap with the b3g1 pricing list (looking at you, ATB)
Also also, for the 75% off listings where it says shower gels, creams, etc., does that include the mini version of those things?

I'm attempting to copy my xaero's minimap over to a new computer and utilize the same settings I use on my desktop. I was hoping there was a way to add in the exclusion list on the entities labeled on the minimap, as I spent a very long time setting it up the first time and would hate to do it again if I can avoid it.
I just can't find the folder for it. I was able to copy my regular xaero's map.

So to start this out me and my ex have been divorced for some time now. We have the final decree of divorce, in the decree of divorce it was stated that I would refinance the home, after paying her her half the equity by X date. The date I had to pay her was over a year ago. The decree never stated an amount, the agreed upon amount was discussed between us in private quarters. There was no set date for me to refinance the home and she verbally said to me at one point she didn't mind being left on the home loan because it wasn't negatively affecting her in anyway. Now today she wanted me to refinance the loan to get her off, in her words I needed to find a way to refinance or sell the home. So I went home called the loan company and started an application for a refinance and to remove her from the mortgage, which they approved me for same day. Now she's claiming I owe her more money because the value of the property has increased and I "failed to refinance" back at X date when I paid her the agreed upon equity payment. She's also threatening to take me to court over this. I'm just wondering, does she have grounds to stand on since we already agreed upon an amount back then and, it was already paid to her on the date listed in the final decree of divorce.

When I initially spun this project up to replace the ASA's in Production i was running 6.7 on all FMC and FTD devices. I was deploying them to a staging area first, Configuring them, then deploying them to the remote site and changing the Management interface IP to the new public IP for the sites ISP connection.
Well, the last deployment didn't go smooth, with a 5508X device on 7.0.5, identical device and config to the existing one, just needed to swap out due to being locked out of the cli(that a whole other story). I confirmed the management IP config on the new device a couple time and everything looked good, after 2 hours of troubleshooting this without success, i took it back to my office and re-imaged it.
Now a secondary problem has come into play. After re-imaging it, i tried to re-join it to the FMC, I kept getting a message on the FMC indicating "Registration : Detected registration type supported by the device"
But the device never loads into the device list. So i dig into the FMC cli and look though the couple logs I know have useful information. try to add the device again and while that is running get into BASH shell and run: tail -150 /valog/messages
after looking through the output of the log find this:
May 24 00:04:38 FMC SF-IMS[16443]: [16443] sfmgr:sfmanager [INFO] set peer PEER_ADD to register 192.168.3.192
May 24 00:04:38 FMC SF-IMS[16442]: [16442] sftunneld:sftunnel_config [INFO] Update Peers configuration requested from a local program (message= 8105)
May 24 00:04:38 FMC SF-IMS[16442]: [16442] sftunneld:sf_peers [WARN] Pending: Already have a peer with duplicate name :192.168.3.192
The IP matches the device im trying to add, But i have de-registered it from the FMC before the re-image and when i use the following command in BASH shell for the peers database it has nothing with matching UUID or NAME: OmniQuery.pl -db mdb -e "select name,ip,uuid,active,role from EM_peers;"
I am not sure what is causing me not to be able to re-register this device after re-imaging. If anyone has any knowledge about this issue id be very thankful.
TAC is difficult to deal with as generally the tier 1 TAC engineer seems like they are reading off of que cards and generally just doing basic information gathering, but it is very difficult to get them to escalate the ticket to someone that can actually resolve the issue. my last 2 TAC cases lasted 2ish months till they got a resolution.

Everything listed is brand new little to no salt besides the barrel, mag and holster. Just decided I liked the xmacro set up I built better than this.
Black WC XL p365 grip mod/w armory craft tungsten weights.
12 round p365 mag with the WC finger extension give a little more girth to the pinky and palm area.
Oem p365 3.1 in barrel slide and recoil spring.
Tlr-7 sub never actually shot with this unit just used it as a test dummy for my aluma-black pen can been seen in photos
Sidecar style holster picked up second hand here in the sub was told it was QVO so it would be the wingman model but I have no actual proof of that, it is a super nice rig with the fabric camo on the front it fits a XL model so naturally this fits snug as a bug.
Looking for $550 shipped for the whole package. I do not want to split anything at this time.

Going to the Detroit show next week and wondering what the set list will be like since he has a million albums recently and this is the first show of the tour. We thinking mostly recent stuff from the last year? Or older stuff like Price of Tea, Bo Jackson, Manger, etc.?
