2023.06.01 03:16 Beccatheelf One of my cats won’t keep her collar on any advice?

I have 2 cats, Cake and MeMow, MeMow is really good about keeping her collar on, however Cake is not. I’ve tried giving her treats, aka positive reinforcement, I’ve tried putting the collar on for a couple minutes at a time and taking it off but I can’t seem to get her to keep it on. They both aren’t outdoor cats and are chipped. At this point I’m thinking about getting a small dog collar that buckles or a harness but I need advice on getting her to keep it on. My cats have never tried to escape, I’ve left the back door open and none of them have tried to escape but I still want a collar on them just incase. Any advice?

2023.06.01 03:09 csrredcoat Sudden Lagging and Freezing

Hello,
I've been experiencing some lagging, freezing and unresponsive screens. I did some research and did the usual suggestions like closing background apps, clearing cache but still happens. I resorted to a complete factory reset and unfortunately, it's still happening. It's not constant, usually when I wake the screen and try pulling down the top menu shade.
This was a sudden issue and not sure what's causing the problem, anyone else?

2023.06.01 03:08 Competitive_Big_4126 screwed up some formatting thing...

See screenshot. I pressed some wrong combo of buttons and now my game isn't truly full screen. There is a menu bar at the top of the screen that I can't get away, and it disallows me from scrolling up (north) in gameplay. Kind of annoying!
Any help?
​
Thanks.

2023.06.01 03:06 Dexterous-Andray Hell: 2.5GPD for one year; 5GPD for one and a half; and 10GPD for the last three weeks

I've been taking phenibut, consistently, as the title shows, for 2 and a half years. Doses ranging from 2.5 to 5 average, and then 10 gpd, for the past three weeks. In this time frame, I've been VERY strict about taking my medicine (self-prescribed - lulz) ONCE a day. In the morning. I've been careless these past three weeks and dosing multiple times a day. Do NOT do this.
In all this time, I have never missed a dose, with the except of a 48 hour time period. This was about a year ago - in that time frame, I experienced insomnia and some mild rebound withdrawal, however, I was lucky enough to have my package arrive soon after. I soon forgot about that experience.
Phenibut withdrawal is FUCKING HELL. I have never experienced a sickness from a drug in the entirety of my 28 years on this planet (I am a poly-drug user, in recovery, and for the last year or so I have been clean from everything). I haven't withdrawn from any other drug, except Etizolam the summer of 2018 when I was taking 3mg every day for a month or so. This shit takes the cake. Granted, I've heard Benz withdrawal is serious too, but I didn't take Etizolam as much as I have phenibut. With weed, you'll maybe get insomnia, but that's about it. This is the first "hardcore" drug that I have ever been addicted to. I've dabbled, don't get me wrong, but not to this extent. I am currently in the throws of WD. As we speak. I am typing this post in an attempt to psychologically release the stress and pain that I'm going through.
When one is taking an absurd amount of phenibut, you inevitably meet satan. I believe phenibut can be handled responsibly - I happen to not possess this quality. It has powerful anxiolytic effects that can promote sociabile/loquacious qualities unlike any other drug I have tried (I'm an extreme extrovert innately), stimulate/reduce sex drive and promote cognitive and mood enhancing qualities. Well, I wouldn't know anything about that considering this effect is more apparent in doses under 1 gram.
My 100 grams of phenibut HcL was SUPPOSED to arrive this past Friday - via USPS - the reliant mail carrier that they are. I made the rookie mistake to order their cheapest shipping.
Luckily, I had around 5 grams to taper me off until my packages arrive tomorrow.
I knew I was fucked when I read "Arrived at Distribution Center ND." WTF?
Almost instantly, my HR skyrocketed.
My last dose, was my usual, 5 grams, at 10am this past Friday
I knew I had to white knuckle it and preserve my precious phenibut molecules until I could absolutely not tolerate it anymore. I made it until Sunday night - I clocked 60 hours. I experienced a significant amount of muscle tension, re bound anxiety, feeling uncomfortable leaving the house, interacting with others (which is NOT characteristic of who I am), insomnia, etc. Luckily, I have yet to experience delusions/paranoid thinking and depersonalization. I think I'll be in the clear as I have two parcels shipping tomorrow - USPS (cunts) and UPS Next Day Air.
I knew I had to ration the precious 10 scoops as much as possible to stave off the WD's. I should preface by saying that I am SO FUCKING GRATEFUL that I'm prescribed a cocktail of medications. Which have probably prevented me from having a seizure by now. i.e. Seroquel (Or else I would be running on 2 hours of sleep these past 5 days), trielptal (mood stabilizeanti convulsant), the GOD send that is gabapentin and Suboxone. I'm also on vyvanse, and I NEED it, because Im currently studying. Surprisingly, it hasn't seemed to exacerbate the WD's I am experiencing. In fact, I think it actually helps... It allows me to think (somewhat clearer) of what I call... THE FOG. I think I'm a character in a Stephen King novel (who happens to be my favorite author). Let me tell you guys, I did not expect to experience the brain fog. I think this is the worst actual symptom that I am experiencing. I'll get into that momentarily.
Readers, I am not trying to scare you. I'm trying to warn you. After I describe these subsequent five days, I will give you some advice/supplement recommendations that'll abate Phen withdrawal symptoms. If I didn't have five grams left/live a healthy, non-sedentary lifestyle and are on the medications I am on. I would be admitted to the ER by now. I am an active/physically fit person, drink a lot of water, (try) to eat healthy, avoid tobacco, and am prescribed the aforementioned medications/supplements (that I'll provide at the end).
​
** WHATEVER YOU DO.*\* Stay the FUCK away from alcohol if you're currently going through WD. This is essentially putting Kerosene on your neurotransmitters and alcohol is the source of ignition. You'll feel good while intoxicated, but the re-bound will be 10x fold the next day.
WD TIMELINE
Day one: "oh, this is fine." "No problem." I didn't experience anxiety, delusions, any symptoms. Stocked up on Vitamins/minerals/Supplements. took my meds. Slept fine.
Day two: Uncomfortable talking to people, I start to avert my eyes when making contact, yet it's not unbearable. Noticeable change in my mood and the re-bound is starting. Then I reach the afternoon. My body is definitely wondering where the fuck their GABA B its (sorry, brain). I don't feel right. I don't feel disassociated per se, but I can tell my body is craving the phenibut. I have work tomorrow. I have to sleep. Fuck it. I take 2 grams of phenibut at 6pm and sleep peacefully.
Day three: I'm at work. In the morning, I wake up relatively refreshed because the phenibut is still lingering in my system from the night before. I work from 5 am to 11am so I wake up fairly early. As I reach 7-8am I start acting "off." I don't feel as charismatic, I'm more withdrawn and I don't feel comfortable talking to people. I keep to myself and I know I have to dose. so I take one gram to stave off the withdrawals. It helps, but I know I need to fucking leave work.
I get off work at 11am. It hits me like a fucking freight train. THE FOG. This is arguably the worst symptom I am experiencing. I feel fucking retarded. My whole brain feels like an Anvil and I just. can't. think. Or concentrate. I feel so sedated, but not in a happy - go - lucky phenibut way. It's like my THINKING is sedated. Not in an anxiolytic manner I should add. I have never experienced a feeling like this in my life. My whole cognitive thinking process feels like the dirty windshield of a Truck Driver going down Route 66. It's painful. I feel headaches, clouded and really dazed and confused (shout out!). Like I mentioned, I am prescribed vyvanse, a powerful ADHD stimulant, and I STILL feel this way. The WD of the phenibut has negated all of the effects of my medication.
I have to study, but can't. I feel this inability to retain any information I am studying. I know I have to get shit done, so I dose another 1.5 grams. This was around noon, so I really didn't feel better until 2 or 3pm. The fog is abated, but not by much. This leaves us to 1.5 grams left.
Day four: I have work, yet again, and I'm more miserable than yesterday. Evidently, the higher you dose, and for more consecutively, it takes MUCH longer until you enter the REAL WD's.
I'm not acting right. I feel somewhat paranoid. I think that my co workers don't like me. I feel so robotic and weird in social interactions. So I dosed at 5am (1 gram) just so I wouldn't act like any more of a weirdo. I make up an excuse. Leave work early. As I get home, I do not leave my house. Then I keep thinking dreadful thoughts. Thoughts of impending doom, imagining the worst possible situations, mentally, and playing them out like a fucking Martin Scorsese film. I'm a worry wort by nature, so this is only intensified. I forgot to mention that these past four days I have been consuming massive amounts of red - bali (this is the strain you want), Valerian root, and kava kava.
I take twice my daily dose of Seroquel, 20mg of melatonin, and every supplement you could think of. Surprisingly, I actually slept.
TODAY: I wake up refreshed? I didn't have work today so it made me feel better and alleviated some psychological effects. I take my vyvanse drink my coffee and I think to myself, "I think I'm over it?"
one hour later. It hits me. again. This fucking fog man. I feel sooooo stupid. I have never experienced this feeling in my life. As I have said, the supplements I've taken coupled with my meds have prolly prevented me from seizures. The anxiety is not terrible, it's definitely there - but manageable. I take the remainder of my phenibut (500mg at 10:30am and 1 gram at noon). I took them as soon as I was approved to call in sick and I have two deliveries scheduled for tomorrow. I have never called off work in the past six months I have been working there, so this is going to be okay. I always pick up shifts too, so this won't be the end of the world. It's this clouded thinking that is the worst of my WD's.
This is fucking torture, you guys. this apathy and obfuscated thinking is what's killing me. Im praying BOTH my packages arrive tomorrow. You know how USPS is, but at least a buddy saved my life and ordered me NEXT DAY AIR via UPS.
I know I'm going to wake up with the fog again. As soon as my parcels arrive, I'm going to gobble down 6 grams. Just so it gets in my system. This is a massive learning lesson for me. Phenibut is one of the most dangerous drugs out there. And it's not well - known in the states.
From now on, I'm going to take 2.5 gpd (even this is a massive dose) every other day. I don't want to have this XP ever again. I was careless, stupid and now I am dealing with the consequences. Luckily, I don't think I'll have to go to the ER. I did not respect the phenibut, and in the end, the phenibut did not respect me.
If used responsibly, it can be quite a beautiful compound and ease muscle relaxation and promote sleep. My muscle feels tense. I can feel it in my neck. This hasn't been fun. I just want to get well again. I'm going to be MUCH smarter and actually start tapering. 10% every two weeks. Also, STOCK up. I can't be so careless about not having enough on me. It's 6:45 pm and hopefully I'll be back to normal in <24 hours.
Here are the drugs and supplements that have been extremely helpful in these past 6 days:
1.) Red Bali Kratom. Invest. Even though it acts on the mu opioid receoptors, it's a pain killer and quells the anxiety. Buy it. You'll thank me later.
2.) Melatonin
3.) Ashwaganda
4.) Valerian Root instant release capsules ( serving size is 2, before bed, I took 6 at a time 2x daily)
5.) KAVA KAVA tea (the yogi brand). this has been extremely helpful for me. It promotes relaxation and has cleared the fog a little.
6.) All the B complex vitamins
7.) Magnesium ( it'll help with sleep and alleviate muscle tension)
8.) If you're lucky, get gabapentin. I'm blessed to also have Seroquel - if you have a source, take it. This has allowed me to actually get sleep.
9.) You're probably not going to find trieltpal (mood stabilizer and anti convulsant), but if you're prescribed it, know that it will help.
Obviously, benzos are going to help, but I did not have ANY access. I've heard good things about Baclofen too. Just remember to stagger your doses, and do not take any until you absolutely can't take it anymore. You HAVE to discipline yourself. I was so desperate for some, I literally found myself wandering in the homeless encampments asking people for some. All they had were Meth and Fentanyl. Hard pass.
If you're dealing with withdrawals, you are not alone. I'm so lucky that It's only been five to six days. I hear it gets worse as they days, weeks and months progress. Just never do fucking CT.
Good luck, stay safe.

2023.06.01 03:02 EKMmusicProd Not exporting past 34%

So I'm having an issue, I just got my pro subscription and I haven't had a single issue exporting before this. Even with 25 - 30 minute long videos, in 2k/4k 60fps, with high bit rate coding. However, ever since yesterday I cannot export long videos. I was working on a game video for a friend, it's about 10:30 minutes cut down and edited. The file size is est. to be around 4557mb. I have the storage, I have 6gb of ram for it to work with, I cleared Capcuts cache, and it just cuts back to the main menu screen where all your videos pop up. I tried to record it happening but it cut out my screen recorder too. How do I fix this?

2023.06.01 03:00 chatbaran Just got FLM for my ipad but i can 't import my drums

Hi everyone. I've been learning fl studio on pc for 2 months now but now that i dont have my pc with me i wanted to try FLM. My problem is that when I try to import my drums I cant get them to work. I've tried importing them manually by moving them to the fl studio folder, but when I try to use them, they just make a glitchy sound. I've also tried importing them with the import thing on the main menu but it's the same.
The only different thing is, I can import them as audio files and they sound normal but that's not what I want. Since I can't use piano roll with it it's useless. Does anyone have any idea what should I do? By the way the files I'm trying to import are wav files which I've been using on my PC with fl studio for PC.

I personally enjoy island santuary but I'd prefer not to have to teleport to moraby, go on a boat, and talk to my mammets every day for max efficiency after I already have all the animals and stuff I need. I'd be much more fun for me if the menu stuff was doable on my phone, specifically the pasture, garden, and facilitates. And it'd be a great way to get more installs for their companion app.

2023.06.01 02:58 1011686 What They Needed

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.)

2023.06.01 02:57 Pesime Issues with black screen on switch

I've been playing xenogears on retroarch through my switch, a psx game. It's been fine and I'm several hours in but suddenly I hit a wall. I'm in a text cutscene and it fades to black to load the next scene, the music changes and nothing freezes, but it won't move past the black screen. The music keeps on playing and I can open the quick menu, exit to home, etc. I've tried downloading the game from other sources and running the cue file but I just can't get past that black screen. Anyone have an idea? Thanks!
