#and i am gonna try to get in at least 10.000 steps every day

[thesoundofsnowfallingfromeaves]

honestly having a purpose for which i wanna get fit is such a healthy motivator to work out for me, I am so glad I am doing this hike in summer! Before, even when I tried not to, working out always had the 'i wanna change my body shape' undertone for me, because there wasn't really much else to it? yeah bouldering I mostly just do for fun because its also usually with coworkers and it has a real achievement element to it (climbing progressively harder routes and you get to finish many of them in one session which feels great), but everything else was kinda that, even cycling to work when i did it, which is bonkers, cause its mostly also just transportation. But now I am training for my big adventure and the body stuff is so much less on my mind. Its more like "this will help me climb the big hills in 7 months hell yeah!". I feel like I hacked the system.

Nora Night Dialogue

(Nightwave hype image)

Nightwave focuses on one particular story at a time, termed a "Series", beginning with The Wolf of Saturn Six as Series 1. While a Series is running, Nora presents a list of Acts, or challenges, for the Tenno to complete. Completing Acts will reward Nightwave Standing. Nora will give rewards upon reaching certain tiers of Standing (every 10.000 Standing), including a special currency which can be used to purchase rotating offerings. The Standing and currency are particular to each Series and expire when the Series ends.

Radio Scanner

Nora Night will occasionally broadcast messages over the Radio Scanner in the Tenno's Orbiter.

(generic)

"Hey there, Dreamers. You hearin' me? I know you are. No need to say anythin'. A hand in yours, a voice for the speechless, a bedtime story for the sleepless. The name's Nora Night, and I got somethin' to say, sweet things. Nightwave is coming."

"A voice in the night, a half-remembered dream, rising to the surface of your consciousness, from backbrain to forebrain, a sound to a vision, pullin' up and… knockity-knock. Hello, Dreamers. Let's get to know one another."

"Hey, Dreamers. We are up and ready to party."

"To all of you driftin' out there in the black, mark the frequency. The time has come to act together. To open our eyes and gaze with utmost clarity past the present and into a future we create. Shoulder-to-shoulder. Mark the frequency."

"An echo, from long ago: 'For ten years I have been polishing this sword. Its frosty edge has never been put to the test. Now, I am holding it and showing it to you, sir: Is there anyone suffering from injustice?' Keep livin', Dreamers."

"In a world like this, it can be hard to have hope, when the man owns the system and the system serves to save the man, from us. But I'm here, Dreamers. To help you pierce that false fog. We'll chase it away with acts of beauty and – succeed or fail – face the foe, eyes open. As someone once said: 'If nothing saves us from death, may love at least save us from life.'"

"Acts of defiance, acts of generosity, acts of sacrifice… this is how we turn this system 'round. I'll take you there, Dreamers. I'll bring you back."

"Hey there, Dreamers. The Devil is home and the shades are up. That's right… it's just you and me, passin' each other slow and with a nod sayin' all that needs sayin'. I'm Nora Night, sayin'… you live with wolves, you better act like one."

"It can be tough as a kid. All sorts of people have it over you. People will kill you inside, kill you and forget your name. You grow up. They grow old. You remember. They don't. They just keep doing what they've always done, only to someone else. Then, one day, they call you friend. And you wait. And you wait. You wait 'til they can't trust you any more than they do. And then you ask them if they enjoyed their dinner. And, looking into their panicked eyes as they gasp their last, you tell them your name. And you nod. 'Yeah', your eyes say to theirs. 'That was me'. And then you leave. And the System is a better place. Be smart, Dreamers."

(events)

"Nora has it on good authority that Rail pirates are hungry after a cold weekend, sweet thing. Check your mags and keep the gas tanks full."

"Well, bad news, foodies: the Corpus are scrapping plans to bioengineer food from hazardous waste. Diners reported everything tasted like vermink… then exploded. Back to the lab, you crazy kids."

"Ah, Nef Anyo ain't best pleased by the actions of some of our friends. [deep sigh] Keep your heads down, Solaris United, and steer clear of Officer Friendly."

"Now, I hear remarked that Nef's obelisk is lit up for another of the big man's showcases, parties, soirées, whatever. On the invite list is anybody who is anybody, and nobody who is nobody. Even Nora Night didn't get an invite. Shame on you, Nef Anyo, for I am delightful."

"Grineer Galleons kickin' up dust all the way from Venus to Pluto. Watch your backs, people."

"A little bird tells me that nasty ol' Nef Anyo's got somethin' up his sleeve for the good people of Fortuna. But I have it on good authority help is on the way. Keep the faith, people. Sunshine is just around the corner."

"Well, it's early where Nora is, and, as she wipes the sleep from her eyes, she wonders… does Unum ever leave that Tower? Can she leave that Tower? Who is she? What is she? Someone in Cetus must have answers. Come on, sweet things. Give it up."

"On this cold and lonely eve, spare a thought for tractor jockeys, Rail agents, and lone travellers making their way. Trying to bring a little joy to people's lives, one shipment at a time."

"Nora has it on good authority that the enterprising Corpus are clearing out ice out of newly-discovered tunnels. For what purpose, she wonders?"

"Well, it's a lazy night between the stars for you and me, while out there, the System is still on fire. Grineer on Corpus, Corpus on Infested – and in between, the little people like you and me, well, we're just tryin' not to get stepped on. Here's to us, Dreamers."

"Nora here. The Red King is at the dance. But listen… as you drift between the stars, Nora wants you to know you ain't alone. Mm-mm. We're all of us a kinda family out here, ain't we? All of us. The multitudes. Driftin' and listenin'. But you need to remember: It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be. It never troubles the wolf."

"Somethin's out there, Dreamers. Nora can feel it. Pullin' at her waters like the moon pulls the tides. Somethin' big, an' somethin' old. It knows us. What will it say, I wonder, the day it steps up to our door and knocks?"

"We're out of the night and into the dawn. Still hangin' on in a System on fire, thanks to the good work of people like the Tenno. That's a thank-you, from Nora to you. Wherever you are."

(personal)

"Do you feel the next world press close, on these late nights, Dreamers? Nora does. She feels the presence of those she lost, the great and the good. Gods and ghosts. We are watched – bet on it – by those who dwell in the direction we cannot point to."

"Flattery, flattery charges my battery. Some people ask where they can send me gifts. Some want to take me out to dinner. One lonesome ol' Rail agent even asked Nora to marry him. Nora ain't the marryin' kind, but thank you. Was in love once. With a man. Face of an angel, morals of a chainsaw. We all have a type, don't we? Against which we must be forever on guard. But damn, he looked good in a suit."

"Dreamers, it's on these long and quiet nights I ask myself: How could I do more, and do it better? And then, something I read a long time ago whispers in my ear: 'All human activities are equivalent and all are on principle doomed to failure. Thus it amounts to the same thing whether one gets drunk alone or is a leader of nations.' And, Dreamers, I pour myself a drink."

"People ask me if it gets lonely out here. I say, lonely? Naw. I got all the company I need. I got you, sweet things. Ain't nothin' for Nora in the real world, 'cept trouble. Trouble, and a few yahoos she could box for a century without a tea break."

Opening Nightwave

"Now, just in case some of you ain't doin' all this outta the kindness of your hearts…."

"Nora's got the goods for one lucky Dreamer. Who's it gonna be?"

"Now, y'might be wonderin' if I'm holdin' back on y'all. Hmm, Dreamers…."

"Nora is all about incentivisin'."

"Who have we got on the line? Oh yeah, I don't have a line."

"Always a pleasure."

"What's on your mind, Dreamers?"

"It's that time again, Dreamers."

"Welcome."

"Shall we?"

"Hey."

(upon viewing Episode 1 of a series) "Greed. Brutality. Oppression. True stories, all, and the System is full of them. Dreamers? You listening? The System needs you performing your good deeds for the day. Nora needs it. Needs you to act. To change things. Hear the news, Dreamers. Hear it, or be it. Your call. Because in Nora's System, no good act goes unrewarded. This is Nora Night. You're listening to Nightwave."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 1, variant) "Well well, looks like things are kickin' off."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 1, variant) "And we are away."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 1, variant) "Nora wants to reach out to all of you and say: welcome to the family."

(when the Tenno advances in rank, variant) "Nora sleeps better knowing her Dreamers are out there, workin' to lift us up."

(when the Tenno advances in rank, variant) "Don't stop believin', Dreamers."

(when the Tenno advances in rank, variant) "You keep bein' you, Dreamers."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 15, variant) "We got as many miles behind us as we do before us, but, Dreamers, we got this."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 15, variant) "Sometimes the end never seems further than when you're halfway there. But I'm here to tell you all that you got this thing beat."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 30, variant) "Some are born to greatness. Some have greatness thrust upon them. The rest of us, we just have to work at it. You all know who you are."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 30, variant) "Never doubt yourselves, Dreamers. This System's up for grabs, and we are comin' for it with both hands, yes we are."

(when the Tenno reaches Rank 30, variant) "Ain't no stoppin' someone who knows their worth. Nora's feelin' good about the state of things tonight, yes she is."

Exiting Nightwave

"Let's get back to it."

"Til then."

"Ta ta, lovelies."

"It's time for Nora to say goodnight."

"You know it."

"Let's check what's next."

"And we're out."

"That's all we have time for."

"Comin' up next."

"That's all from me."

"Yeah."

Completing Act

"Ladies and gentlemen, listeners of all ages, I present to you, walking amongst us, the once and future badass!"

"Dreamers, I have for you a tale of triumph over adversity. Of one person actin' true to their truest self."

"Word's comin' in of so many of you bein' your best selves. Nora is just beside herself with admiration."

"Things seem tough, Nora knows, but believe: though it's going outta style, there are people workin' to make this System a better place."

"Dreamers, Dreamers, Dreamers! There just is no holding you back!"

"Get comfy, Dreamers; one of our own believes they are the equal of our foe and, baby, they are actin' like it."

"You wanna hit those high notes, you gotta mean it."

"If it's useful, do it."

"Any y'all see the feeds light up? It's goin' down, kids."

"Well, well, well. Looks like some serious crud is going down out there. Here's to you, anonymous troublemaker."

"From little things big things grow, Dreamers. I believe in you all."

"Many things have been taken from us, it's true. But Fortune favours the bold… and there ain't none so bold as people with nothin' to lose.

"You're making waves, Dreamers. I can feel it."

Sun Jan 24, 8.40 am

This morning, for some reason, even thought i wanted to sleep in late, i woke up well-rested at 7.30. Which is weird because i thought that my exhausted body and brain would need a longer time to recharge the batteries. I slept pretty well, but woke up when my partner came to bed, between 1 and 3 am. I stopped looking at the time when he comes in, apparently in doing so, my brain calculates the number of hours i have left and gives some anxiety about it. So i don’t know exactly when he comes in but i know it’s late and after midnight.

I’m very impressed with myself. Yesterday, right after journaling, at 9.10 am, i started finishing my homework on the brain thing. It took me two hours, and i nailed it. I went above and beyond with this one, I’m very happy. Im also very glad that i chose to do that in the morning rather than reddit, YouTube or Netflix. Very nice.

Another great achievement of yesterday: i went for a walk and ended up walking for 10 kms, 13.5xx steps! Amazing! What is weird is that on the first 9 km, i felt okay. I was full of energy and motivation, but for the last km, and more particularly for the last 10 minutes, i was beginning to feel so bad! So tired, everything hurt, my energy was very low and my feet and toes were hurting a lot. But hey, i made it.

Today i was expecting for my whole body to hurt, but it’s actually okay. My lower back aches a little and i can feel that my legs are a bit heavy but otherwise it’s okay.

I came back at 4pm and i was exhausted. I couldn’t do anything. I stretched thought, and then ate lunch in front of Netflix (first time watching it on my own since Monday!). I watched Winx for 4 hours, and even while making dinner, so actually five hours. A bit bad, but i was too exhausted to do anything and i guess it was kind of a reward for the 10 km? I didnt do the abs challenge, i did LangCorrect but no Duolingo or heylingo. My brain was DEAD.

Anyway, today is a new day, le’ts see if i can at least do 10.000 steps (which is 7,5 km). This morning i did my two orgasms, pretty nice. Then i wanted to see how many i could get and the number is 5. I had to force myself a little bit for the 5th one though. It didnt come as easily as the other ones.

Now I’m gonna relax a little bit, watch a bit of Netflix, and then start on breakfast when my partner wakes up.

We actually had a small fight yesterday, about sex drives. We have very different sex drives, mine is so low and his is average i guess. It’s partly why I’m doing this daily orgasm challenge, so i can maybe increase a bit my sex drive. Anyway earlier in the day i told him that i wish we could have more quality time together, away from our screens. Because in his mind, quality time is whenever we are together, even if he is on his screen and I’m on mine, which is cool, but no, it’s not quality time. For me it is when we are focused on each other and not doing something else, or at least, not on our screens. I mean, playing Minecraft together is also nice. Dancing together and fooling around when I’m cooking is also nice. You get what i mean.

So we were talking about our sex drives, and suddenly he picks up his phone to read some info about the ps+ subscription, because his has expired and he is getting another one tomorrow. I’m a bit annoyed, can’t this wait until after i leave? I’m in his arms, half naked (no top), we are talking about this important thing that we should solve, and there he is on his phone? I was VERY angry. I left, took a shower, which didnt calm myself, went back to the living room to ask why he needs to always be on his phone even when we are talking, left him, went to the room, and try to unwind myself with some atom meditation. Didn’t really work but i fell asleep pretty easily.

I’m still angry this morning. I’m always telling him he is on his phone too much, and he answers that i am too, but he doesn’t get that I’m on my phone because he is on his phone. When we go outside to get a coffee, like in Stockholm or Nynäshamn, as soon as we are sitting he is on his phone. I think i need to remind him of that. Tell him every time. Ask him why he feels the need to check reddit for 5 minutes when we are together.

Ugh it is so annoying.

The small live small

Creation. Quick earlier than you get into this thread i wanna give an explanation for what it is, first of all i have had fulfillment on youtube, and i've attempted to investigate the way to getting a bigger youtube channel. I can on this manual try to focus on each step of the way, and give you my 2 cents on the way to do youtube.

The small live small. The primary subject matter i wanna round up is the fact, that plenty of smaller channels stay small, even though they have amazing content material, and they put lots of paintings into their channels. From my revel in, there are 3 ways of growing your channel, and three stages of increase. The 3 methods of growing. The primary method of growing: gateway video(s). Now this method isn't some thing you can simply "intention" for and get, because it calls for you to get a semi-viral video, which appeals to a big patron base. However i concept i might mention it because it has helped me grow.

The second one technique of growing: sharing. This one you recognize all too nicely, showing your movies to friends or sharing it on fantastic forus like yttalk. You can't develop a smaller channel without one or each of the first 2 strategies.

The third approach of growing: herbal increase. This is the type of boom you need your channel to have, the only you cannot get whilst you're a small channel. The factor where your channel grows on it is very own, and also you get loads of new subscribers each day. Don't be flawed though, noone got to this, with out going via at least one of the above. The 3 tiers of your channel. The very beginning: Right here we are talking approximately a channel that has little to no viewers, they could handiest utilize 2 out of the three increase methods. Generally simplest the second one, for the reason that none of his/her motion pictures get to be semi-viral, seeing as they get little to no views. Even sites consisting of reddit will solid your videos aside, seeing as they're not already sprouting as a minimum a little bit.

Middle degree: I really like to recognize this tier because the point where you do not need to your self out everywhere, however your increase remains very gradual. You could have some hundred subscribers, and also you benefit a few here and there, but your growth may be very slow. This is the point in which you wanna goal for gateway films.

Reflect onconsideration on it like this, a person who sees a channel they've never seen earlier than, which doesn't get alot of perspectives, normally don't watch a 20 minute vlog. However a 30 second humorous video of types, it truly is extra find it irresistible! Preserve gateway movies between 20 seconds and 2-3 mins.

The selfsustainable degree: as i mentioned formerly, that is the factor where your channel will grow on it is personal, that is the stage you preferably wanna get to. The rest of this manual might be on a way to optimize your channel from this point on, so if your channel isn't this huge, strive that specialize in my previous points.

Going from a medium channel, to a large channel: Content enlargement: That is wherein you are gonna wanna study what you are doing, and make bigger on that without ruining what you've got going. When you have any famous collection that your audience likes, keep doing that, however do not restrict yourself.

As a gamer i will provide an instance, i am mendacity around 8500 subscribers (i have nearly 10x that variety now, i assume that is proof sufficient that this works), but i decided a long term ago that i wanted at the least 10.000 before shifting directly to doing let's plays. This is because whilst your channel reaches this length, you may have extra freedom, due to the fact many are subscribed in your content material, now not a unmarried sort of your films.

In case you're a vlogger you might additionally start doing other stuff at this factor, however the cause i recommendation human beings to look forward to this, is because you may put a lot effort into some thing, but in case your channel isn't always large enough, the videos certainly might not get the attention they deserve. Taking example in myself again, if i recorded a hundred let's play episode *20 minutes, and that i did not have an engaged audience, i would have spent 33+ hours (it truly is simply recording, not even modifying) with little to no praise.

Collaborations: This sounds simple, and it additionally sounds silly to first get collaborations in at this factor. However collaborating with other youtubers who also have massive channels, gives both elements a miles better reward than 2 smaller channels operating collectively. Percentage your audiences, and research from every different.

Finalizing: This is gonna be my very last factor, however i wanna factor out all of the little things that you want to have optimized at this point of a channels growth.

Thumbnails and channel artwork: Whether you're with the one channel format or not, we are able to all agree that a few thumbnails lead people into clicking manner more then others. Setting your text sideways lets in for large and longer texts, strive effect with black define.

As on your channel artwork, make it some thing that honestly makes people take a look at it, it need to make your page look glossy and well-polished.

Video and audio pleasant: At this point in time you are gonna wanna have both an excellent microphone, and excellent video irrespective of whether or not you document real-lifestyles motion pictures, or a system created cinema (and that is the foundation of the phrase "machinima", it is that means has been misconstruded over time although)

Target audience interaction: At this factor (and actually at any point) you wanna respond to as many remarks as possible, of direction it won't show all feedback anymore, however leaf through your notifications several instances an afternoon. In case you're a vlogger attempt bringing your audience into your movies, whether that be by using stay interplay or remarks being highlighted. If you're a gamer play with them, and add it, if they're your fan they would like it.

I am not saying you must respond to every remark, or play with every subscribers. But the wellknown gist is to offer some thing lower back.

Social media: You want either a fb, or a twitter, if not each at this point. If you have time money and time, you could additionally strive experimenting with a internet site, this could assist organise your content material, and may carry focus on your fans. I am currently testing this out myself, and i can update this manual when i have used the internet site for a couple of months.

Edit: i currently have a dressmaker making my website for me, will elaborate once the whole lot is in place. Very last phrases:if you're nonetheless with me, it approach you study my complete manual, i will be answering questions as tons as i'm able to on this thread. If you disagree sense loose to permit me realize, i hoped this helped you in some manner, and as continually: have a nice day! :)
