#but sufficiently good to have marked myself a minimum

[reginrokkr]

From tomorrow until the following Monday I'll engage into the suffering of finals at long last. I'm nervous and I feel like I know nothing, but I'm aware that the nervousness is bigger than what the tests will be, so crossing my fingers that it'll be the same thing this time too—

[titanrpg]

Hey, Lex, got a question. At some point in the last two decades, somebody in the indie space mentioned that it was all well and good to develop a system, but that what a lot of games lack is support, and that supplemental material like monster- or magic-folios or adventure modules or what have you. The argument was something to the effect that we have sort of a lot of one off, single page or even whole simulation systems, but once you have the base thing, there's not really much suggested to do with it, and while plenty of GMs and tables don't need help getting started, plenty do.

Is this anything, y'think? Do you have thoughts on the subject of supplemental material? Do you think it "helps" your ttrpgs, for whatever metric that... is measuring, lmao.

Hey! I've heard this here and there, and I'll share my thoughts as a relative newcomer (I'm around the 2.5 year mark of seriously making my own games).

I don't think it's a problem to have one-off games and barebones systems. In fact, make it as barebones as possible, and you have yourself an SRD essentially. We all know I love me an SRD.

That being said, the whole deal with Caltrop Core (my first SRD) was lowering the barrier to entry for people to start making games. If you can sufficiently lower a barrier, it'll be much easier for people to start. It goes for full TTRPGs as well. An ecosystem of support is the dream for any system, but the step I take before that is including materials in my game to help people get started.

Even though I don't consider myself the type of player who needs the extra help/content, I still like seeing a starter adventure or a table of ideas, as it helps me find where to start. Examples of play are also a big part of this. Wanderhome does a really nice job of this (is there anything this game doesn't do a really nice job of?).

Identifying the action you want someone to take and doing everything in your power to minimize the friction/number of steps between that person and the action -- that's digital marketing in a nutshell.

People mostly apply this thought process to sales, but it works for everything. When I'm finishing up a game, I'm concerned with one action in particular: someone actually playing my game.

As indie devs, it can often feel like no one actually plays our games. (Side note: I think it's worth making peace with this aspect of indie publishing. I make games because I like making games. If people play my stuff, great. If they don't, okay. I would have made this thing anyway.) If this is something you're worried about with a project, I believe the best thing to do is identify the type of supplemental material that will bridge the gap from reading the game to running/playing it. To me, that's what "helping" my TTRPG means. I often see quickstart one-pagers for medium sized games, and I think that's a really strong option.

You also do not have to have this supplemental materials ready when you first hit "Publish" on itch.io or wherever. For one of my own game jams, I wrote a minimum playable version (MPV, is that a thing?) of HEXFALL. Then later I went back and added a bunch of materials (new hex types, new maps, new examples, new story hooks) to help people get started as easily as possible. I pitched it as an expansion, and even came up with a cool dramatic subtitle which I always love doing.

It's really up to the designer and where they're at. If you're out here trying to build a publishing business, then I think this type of material should be included in your base game. Hobbyists should do whatever is most fun for them.

Thanks for the fun question! I hope I answered sufficiently!

Rhys bristled as Gwyn threw the bruised heart of the matter into the cold light of day between them, a faint frown settling as his gaze met the sith’s in accusatory questioning. It was all too easy to get defensive, to demand where this prick got off thinking he had any right to demand a thing from him, Rhys knew the sith had every right to do so. He was doing the one thing Rhys hadn’t managed to prioritise; he was facing the elephant in the room and Rhys envied his ability to do so without any apparent issue whatsoever. Why really was the question of the hour and had been since Rhys touched base in London. Throughout his time back home, he’d been in daily contact with Mateo and Byron, had worked countless hours in the coven and had even entertained Bastjan’s company for set evenings every weekend – though he’d struggled to separate the strigoi’s company from Nahim’s presence in one way or another, though now didn’t seem like the time to tell Roland’s fledgling that his sire’s most dedicated antagonist remained determined to keep his interference alive and well even from a distance. 

Why hadn’t Rhys found the time, the decency, the bare minimum of effort to reach out to Roland more than he had? Naturally, there was a very simple answer to all of that but it required Rhys to be far more vulnerable and honest than he liked to be, especially with an acquaintance at best. Shifting to cross one ankle over the other, Rhys inhaled slowly as he considered his options, allowing the pensive silence to grow longer until the witch finally came back to himself, pushing himself away from the apothecary cabinet to stroll to the kitchenette to flick on the kettle. If they were going to have this conversation, Rhys needed all the caffeinated aid he could find. He remained silent as he considered his responses, preparing two identical breakfast teas and carried them through to set one beside Gwyn on the desk without a word before he settled into his armchair beside Seth’s with a hesitant sigh, watching the steam rise from his own mug before finally meeting Gwyn’s gaze again.

“Under normal circumstances, I’d tell you that it’s none of your business and leave it at that, but seeing where I’ve fallen short of the mark as of late, I’ve got no room to say so. It was good of you to come, to try and make sense of this on Ro’s behalf.” Pausing, Rhys took a tentative sip from his mug and scanned his gaze around the office as he tried to find the right words for a long overdue explanation. “I’d said that a break would be the most sensible course of action given everything I’d be facing back home. I wasn’t sure if I’d have the time and emotional availability required to provide for him in a way that’d be sufficient, not to mention the fact that it wasn’t a suitable environment for Roland to be in – certain family members aren’t the most… supportive of certain lifestyles and given the heightened emotions already present given the circumstances, I didn’t want to put him or myself through more stress than necessary. The first week back was a family-only affair anyway, there would’ve been no place for him, as much as it sounds cruel to say.” The earnest edge to Rhys’ tone confirmed his certainty; even if things hadn’t worked out as well as Rhys had hoped they would, he’d had faith in his beliefs at the start of things: it had made sense in theory and he had done the right thing by suggesting it according to his logic. 

Rhys was quiet for a moment as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, the admission on the tip of his tongue making him more anxious than he wanted it to. With one leg tucked under the other, Rhys leaned over to set his mug down on the table and swiped the cigarette case and lighter abandoned there for himself, coaxing the flame to life with a languid flick of his wrist as he rested a cigarette between his lips. With visible reluctance, Rhys forced himself to meet the sith’s gaze again, exhaling a small plume of smoke with an agitated sigh. “Short answer is that I was expecting to fuck up monumentally, emotionally and mentally spiral as a result and end up lashing out and hurting Ro in the process somehow. I wanted to avoid that happening even if it was only a possibility. Logically-speaking, a break seemed like the best way to ensure that. It also gave me the opportunity to focus solely on everything I needed to focus on back in London. I’d told Ro that I’d be back in time, that it didn’t mean we were over, all of that, but I something tells me those details weren't given much attention in his version of events.”

Gwyn rotated his head to follow Rhys' path, not taking his eyes off the other man for a moment even though he had to contort his spine rather uncomfortably to accomplish it. He caught the near-slip, tittering -- "You hardly have to call him Councilman in front of me, sweetness." Sarcastic as Rhys may be, the title seemed in line with this dreadful formality the witch was putting on and that had to be discouraged. Or was that simply how he was? How frightful. But at least Rhys was willing to joke in that small way, even if it was a barbed one, that held some promise to it. Gwyn would be deeply disappointed if Roland's beau had no sense of humor.

His smile only widened as Rhys' eyes turned on him in obvious appraisal, Gwyn swinging his feet where they hung off the desk. The sith knew he didn't comport himself quite like the other vampires, certainly not with Roland's brand of fine old-world tailoring, but was cluttered with rings and a tangle of necklaces instead, this day be-decked in black leather and round sunglasses that dangled from a loud silk shirt unbuttoned near to his waist. Quite frankly, Gwyn tended to dress like he'd been thrown up out of five different vintage shops, but it tended to work to his advantage out in the world where most mortals assumed the once-fae to be one of them. Attention-grabbing but amusing enough to be non-threatening, just like Gwyn liked it. No guarantee, though, that the witch would read it the same way.

"Shouldn't that be obvious?" His brows shot up, eyes widening, "We have a vested interest in each other, you and I." Gwyn honestly had no idea what, if anything, Roland had told his lover about his fledgling, but that hardly mattered. If Rhys was truly a logical man, surely it would make sense. "You made quite a mess of things, leaving like that. Or, well -- Roland did, once you vacated the premises, I assume." The tone of Gwyn's voice was still mostly curious rather than accusatory, recounting the information matter-of-fact. "He was in a proper state when I found him - you forbade him even to tag along, or so I hear. So I wonder: why?"

New Years Protection - A How To Guide

Every year I protect myself from negative people, bad intentions, flaky energy and all manner of bad spirits and you should too.

What is New Years?

New Year is the time or day at which a new calendar year begins. Many cultures celebrate the event in some manner, and the 1st day of January is often marked as a national holiday holy day. 

New Years is holy because it’s number is 1. The numerology number 1 is self-determined and self-sufficient. It goes about its own business, pursues its own goals, and has no need for companionship.

Often, we create New Years resolutions and goals that reflect the energy of the number 1. However, near March of that same year, we have likely quit or goals or had something happen to throw us back into old behavior, circles, thoughts and energies. What happened to our vigor and will power?

Many of us have bad luck, bad juju, roots and other negative things on us that keep us from our goals in life. We often have terrible relationships, situationships and sinking ships that we choose to stay in for far too long. Each year, I do spells to keep haters, spells, hexes and much more away and now I wil share a few “secrets” with you.

Spiritual Baths

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. 

Most empaths come home with residual feelings and energy each day. When they ask me for tips, I always suggest a spiritual bath. I use Bobby Hemmitt’s bath and it’s my go-to method but it’s not for every one. 

What you’ll need

Huge tub of water, 3 caps ammonia, 3 caps of bleach, 3 caps of apple cider vinegar, 3 caps of lemon juice and half a cup of sea salt, 1 white candle.

What you’ll do

Light the white chime candle. Get in that tub and imagine your aura extending out into a white light all around you. Stay in for a minimum of 15mins and then before you leave the tub, dunk your head below the water. After that, shower off and take some of the left over wax and ball it up in some cloth and wear it on your body. 

This bath helps with prosperity, protection, and removal of anything negative. 

Great video on it below:

Baths have always been sacred. In hoodoo and may other spiritual systems, baths can be used as a very extremely powerful tool to help you manifest on your journey in the New Year.

The Witches Bottle

If you ain’t got haters, you ain’t poppin’! Every time you get somewhere in life, BOOM, a hater. Some of those haters are witches and they don’t mind playing target practice with your life. Personally, I lay a few tricks of my own when I create a witches bottle each New Year.

What is a Witches Bottle?

Witch bottles began as countermagical devices used as protection against other witchcraft and evocation. They are described in historical sources in England and the United States. The first mention of a witch bottle appears in the 17th century England.

This is old-school magic that works! You make a bottle for you, your spouse or kids to keep them safe from magical harm. The idea is that a evil spirit or energy will seek you out but mistake the witches bottle for you becoming trapped or destroyed in the process.

What you’ll need

A glass bottle and closure, toe/fingernail clippings, hair, urine, seamen/menstrul fluid for extra points, a black candle, red twine (optional), nails, rose thorns, any protective herbs or salts.

What you’ll do

You’ll fill the witches bottle with bodily fluids, salts, hair, bones and then seal it closed. On top of the bottle, you’ll burn a black candle. Let the candle wax drip down the sides. As the candle burns, imagine all evil being trapped into what looks like a projection of you but it’s really the bottle. When the candle is done, take the bottle and place it in a quiet place or bury it in your front yard. If you stay in an apartment, bury it at your mother’s house or a place you frequent.

Witches bottles are a huge deal and they even get major press when people find them: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/01/24/witch-bottle-discovered-virginia/

A New Years Reading with Tarot

The last thing I do for the New Year is read my energy with the Tarot cards. Tarot allows us to see current energy and make choices that can influence future events. 

What you’ll need

A decent tarot deck, my suggestion would be https://amzn.to/2KMGDMc for a solid deck that shows Black ppl instead of the traditional tarot characters.

Purchase yours at https://amzn.to/2KMGDMc

What you’ll do

A simple 4 card spread. Shuffle the cards and think about the next year. Think of all you want to do and achieve while letting your mind wander away from the thoughts of the cards. As you shuffle, ask your ancestors that work for your success to help you “know, what is unknown”. You should get the word “STOP” in your head or cards will leap out of the shuffle when it is time to draw your cards. 

Using the spread layout, pull the first card (your past), then the second card (your future), next the third card (your now) and the last card (your outcome). Use google to find out the meanings or the accompanying book that comes with your tarot card deck.

I hope you take the time to make this a very good year for you and your loved ones and book a session with me if you’d like to have a Root Doctor pull your cards.

Fandorm based off Jungle Book, I told myself to just keep this between mutuals but my desire to do everything in my power to shit all over Kipling and Disney’s writing is greater than that honestly.

Mahaanjangal, founded on the self-sufficiency of the Esteemed Tiger.  

A melting pot of strong-minded students, this dorm values its ambitious and proud nature.  Many of this dorm hold their heads high and are difficult to discourage, being resourceful and driven.  Uncertainty and hesitation have no room in this dorm, and so the weak-willed will find they struggle to make their mark in Mahaanjangal.  furthermore, while the dorm doesn’t excel in any specific subject, an emphasis on magical endurance helps solidify their powerful reputation.  Even within the dorm, many smaller groups develop when their interests align, and it seems rivalries appear particularly prevalent.  Take care not to fall behind in your studies – students of this dorm rarely carry dead weight on their own shoulders.

“Why should you run?  Is it possible you don’t know who I am?”

Adhiraj Nasht: Dorm-leader, 19 Unique Magic: “As cruel as the midday sun...” King of the Jungle - allows him to sap the physical/magical energy from others and use it for himself.  Requires a large amount of magic to maintain. Best Subject: History of Magic Club: None Hobby: Kabaddi man lemme tell you I played this when visiting family and it is so fucking fun Talent: Photographic Memory Homeland: Nightfall - a land of lush vegetation and a seemingly endless span of rainforest surrounding and sheltering its inhabitants, providing much of its natural resources.  Its flora and fauna are dearly valued, with its modern civilisation harmonising man and nature. AKA I am fucking tired of irresponsible urbanisation and native land being stolen for mindless capitalism. Born a mage to a village that had few mages, Adhiraj received much praise and approval from his peers. His use of water magic became particularly valuable during hot, dry summers, with us family receiving the village’s respect and trust. Growing up with immense confidence since childhood, Adhiraj eventually developed a sense of superiority, rather than camaraderie, with his fellow neighbours. This led to antagonising others in favour of making himself look even better, disliking the praise he saw people receive for doing “the bare minimum” in comparison to his magic capabilities. Growing up alongside Kaushal, Adhiraj resented Kaushal’s laid-back approach to magic and spoiled lifestyle. However, Kaushal, another mage in secret, supported Adhiraj to stay on his good side despite the other’s frustrations, offering empty, insincere praise

.The more used to his magic they became, the less admiration he received, or so he thought. He became reluctant to use water magic, much to everyone’s shock, using it only for himself during a drought one year.

The same season, a fire broke out the day after Adhiraj got into an argument with other children. He uses water magic to quench the fires, partly thinking it a ‘good’ disaster to regain admiration. To his shock, many blamed him for the fire as a result of lashing out. Adhiraj couldn’t understand why people would ever challenge their 'strongest’ member, a sentiment reluctantly shared by Kaushal.

Fed up with the conflict, Adhiraj graduated from junior high alongside Kaushal, and the two set forth for Night Raven College, with his reputation of “the best the village had” fueling Adhiraj’s ego. With both sorted into Mahaanjangal, Adhiraj soon learned his skill yielded average results. To compensate, he developed King of the Jungle, a unique magic that made him a force to reckon with. Combined with an aloof, stoic nature, students met him with caution, which he deemed just fine compared to not being acknowledged for his power at all. His ambitions proved helpful in honing his skill, and soon Adhiraj became a formidable powerhouse.  

Boasting impressive grades in magical prowess and academics, he moved on to becoming dorm leader his second year, with only Kaushal attempting to rival him, only to back down at the last minute. Adhiraj’s decision to make Kaushal his vice-leader did not stem from acknowledging Kaushal as a rival, but rather admitting Kaushal’s understanding of him makes him Adhiraj’s best bet for support.  

 Despite his murky reputation amongst Mahaanjangal, Adhiraj has an eloquent, and even theatric, way of speaking.  To some, it comes off as charming, but to others it feels condescending and distancing, as if Adhiraj views others beneath him.  This is particularly grating for anyone once partners with him during class experiments.  For all his skill and intelligence, Adhiraj’s compliments towards other feel terribly shallow.  His charming composure hides a dangerous and fierce spirit, something his dorm knows all too well.  

An unattended flame is one of the few things capable of upsetting his poised smile, in which case a grim expression takes over his shining features, and he keeps himself at a distance.  Older students use this to their advantage in duels, but even this has its risks, as Adhiraj is prone to using a violent amount of ice and water magic in retaliation, otherwise using King of the Jungle to immediately bring an end to the duel.  Many use fire magic in attempts of usurping the position of dorm leader from Adhiraj, but his Unique Magic leaves him Mahaanjangal’s undisputed champion since taking the position in his second year.

]Adhiraj has a casual nature in the face of competition, stemming from his arrogance, and rarely takes others seriously, believing himself to be the best and that ‘everyone knows better than to cross him’.  Many students avoid him, with Kaushal being the only one that regularly interacts with him, although neither claim friendship with him. His interest in being a ‘proper’ dorm leader leaves something to be desired, his dorm cannot deny that his emphasis on self-sufficiency help secures their dorm’s position in the school. Not only is he powerful, he’s observant to others’ weaknesses and insecurities, which he regularly makes use of in duels and other competitions.  Furthermore, while not exactly tutor-material, Adhiraj offers valuable advice on magic, and sometimes holds meetings for the dorm centred on practise.  

Adhiraj, confident mage that he is, has a habit of making the other dorms the targets of his condescending quips.    

His major weakness is his dislike of fire magic, which he chalks up to refusing to use something that’d be so dangerous for his hometown, and only Kaushal knows the truth.  Adhiraj’s grasp of water magic, however, is enough for him to overlook his own flaw.  

“It’s like you said: you can’t trust anyone!”

Kaushal Shikar: Vice dorm-leader, 19 Unique Magic: ”Your senses will cease to resist - “ Trust in Me - an advanced hypnosis technique allowing Kaushal control of anyone who looks him in the eye without giving an explicit order.  Those affected by Trust in Me do not enter a trance-like state, instead obeying Kaushal’s suggestions without question until the deed is done.  It appears those regularly under its influence end up trusting him without Trust in Me ever taking effect.  Strong-minded people appear ‘immune’ to its effects. Best Subject: Defensive Magic Club: Film Studies  Hobby: Lounging around after a good meal Talent: Acting, especially singing Homeland: Nightfall The son of an easy-going family, the charismatic and observant Kaushal Shikar hails from the prosperous Nightfall.  He grew up enjoying his youth with little responsibility, but a sense of superiority over other children isolated him from others, and he took to solitary hobbies and games to entertain himself, alongside observing his surroundings.  Unlike Adhiraj, who openly showed off his magical capability, Kaushal grew up keeping his skill to himself.  He reasons this to be because he had no interest in being expected to use it to benefit others, seeing it as troublesome and tedious.  He only revealed his secret to Adhiraj in their youth, claiming at any moment he could do better than the weretiger if he so pleased.  

The reasoning behind Kaushal’s rivalry with Adhiraj begins, and ends, right there.  To directly challenge the undisputed ‘king’ of their hometown’s mages for his own amusement, all out of a sharp dislike for Adhiraj’s uses of magic.  To Kaushal, using magic is a practical means of getting by in life, not to simply show off what one can do.  This philosophy follows him throughout his life, and not even upon enrolling in Night Raven College does Kaushal make a big deal of his skill.  Knowing his attendance drove Adhiraj to attend in order to not ‘fall behind’ against his apparent rival, Kaushal’s successfully avoided earning Adhiraj’s full ire, opting to praise the weretiger’s skill.  

A passing interest in succeeding as Mahaanjangal’s dorm-leader faded the moment Kaushal heard of Adhiraj’s interest, and Kaushal backed down in favour of vice-leader as to not rock the boat.  He also acknowledges King of the Jungle’s potency, and that Trust in Me is ineffective against someone as strong-willed as Adhiraj.  

 Much like Adhiraj, he’s often seen with a distant, knowing smile and a lulling, soothing voice, Kaushal prides himself in his patience and intelligence, balancing out Adhiraj’s more direct approaches with his own slier, subtle means.  However, as a result, Kaushal sometimes goes behind Adhiraj’s back after the leader’s already made his decisions for the dorm, leading to conflict and confusion, but somehow Kaushal’s developed his own unique following within the dorm, borne from respect of his magic and personality, and some will even take the fall for going against their leader’s orders. 

Nonetheless, Kaushal seldom goes out of his way to butt heads with Adhiraj.  He’s quick to make amends, but not without a scathing remark or backhanded compliment.  Not to mention he always ends up repeating the cycle sooner or later, aware that his unique magic makes him too valuable to Adhiraj.  Ever since the fateful day he’s boasted about himself to Adhiraj in their youth, Kaushal’s terribly familiar with King of the Jungle’s effects.  This fact makes him a formidable student amongst Night Raven College’s ranks, making respect towards him stem from a sort of tension and wariness of his capabilities.  While a great actor in public, he’s much more cautious in his interactions with Adhiraj when on his own.

He’s considered the ‘eyes and ears’ of the dorm, able to abuse his Unique Magic to find out just about anything about anyone.  His willingness to tutor younger, inexperienced students aids in building his reputation, and Kaushal reasons that he finds it distasteful to let the inexperienced fall behind, since otherwise he can never see them as equals.  

Although not a skittish man, Kaushal finds it unnecessarily risky to upset NRC’s stronger students.  He keeps his distance from students such as Leona and Malleus.  Kaushal ultimately prioritises his well-being over getting involved in the school’s multiple rivalries and conflicts.  He’ll lament his pities towards the less fortunate, but actively seeking to help them seldom crosses his mind.  Getting dragged into the personal matters of others tends to annoy him if he’s not already interested in whatever’s going on.

For all his charisma, Kaushal is rather gluttonous and is notorious for usurping much of the food for himself.  He seems unrepentant of the fact, encouraging his dorm to ‘fend for themselves’ lest they risk becoming ‘dead weight’ in Adhiraj’s eyes if they can’t even get their own food before it’s gone.  For this reason, he often ridicules Ruggie’s viewpoint, finding his generosity to his own hometown unreasonable since he can’t help them all the time.  Furthermore, he’s not a morning person, having low blood pressure and being markedly inobservant compared to later in the day.

The War on Made Use Of Gamings

As we plan for the coming wave of future generation systems, we need to be expecting renovations on all the good ideas we connect with the existing crop of systems. Moving on, we anticipate: much better graphics, faster CPUs, more appealing games, you get the idea. 

Not everything that we're preparing for will be a progressive activity for pc gaming. A minimum of, as for Sony and also Microsoft are concerned, you can swing farewell to playing utilized games on their systems. 

Although these are simply rumors at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if they came to fulfillment. It's possible, specifically when taking into account that numerous game authors have already discharged chance ats the used video game market.

Most noteworthy is Electronic Arts(EA), who became the first publisher to set up the method of billing gamers, that bought made use of video games, a fee to access codes that feature the game. 

To clarify, Downloadable Content(DLC) codes are included with new copies of a particular video game and just with those codes, can that web content be accessed. 

EA increased its job to include playing used games online. Players would certainly currently have to pay $10, along with the price of the used game that they purchased, to have accessibility to the on the internet elements of their video game. 

Ubisoft has given that followed suit, requiring an on the internet masquerade its video games too. You can determine the games which require an on the internet pass as they are the "Uplay Passport," logo design on the box.

 Ubisoft determined they would certainly take things an action additionally and carry out Digital Rights Management, a method more often associated with DVD or CD anti-piracy initiatives. 

Assassins Creed 2 was the first video game to be impacted by this practice. To play the PC variation of Assassins Creed 2 gamers are called for to create an account with Ubisoft and also continue to be logged right into that account to play the game. That implies that if you shed your net link, the game will instantly pause as well as attempt to improve the connection. 

If you're unfavorable adequate to be unable to reconnect the net you'll have to continue from your last conserved video game; shedding any development; you may have made because after that. 

That will certainly be the case for every one of Ubisoft's COMPUTER titles, despite one having fun single-player or multi-player. While Digital Rights Management has been used to battle DVD and CD piracy for fairly time currently, this will note the very first time it been made use of for a video game. 

Due to Ubisoft's application of DRM, Matthew Humphries of Geek.com, warns that it's viable that at some point also gaming console games will certainly require on-line enrollment play them.

 According to Denis Dyack, the head of Silicon Knights, the sale of utilized video games is cannibalizing the earnings of the primary video game market. 

He also declares that the made use of the video game market is somehow causing the cost of new video games to rise. There are also reports that the X-Box 720 will certainly accept the exclusive usage of digital downloads as well as not make use of disks at all.

 One might argue that Sony has currently laid the ground help stopping utilized video games from working on their future system. 

At the minimum, they've already made fairly an initiative to make used video games substantially less preferable. Kath Brice, of Games industry.biz, reported that the most up to date SOCOM game for PSP, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3, will certainly call for customers that purchase a utilized copy to pay an enhancement $20 bucks to get a code for online play.

 I would certainly like to see some measurable proof to sustain the case that made use of video games are in reality, hurting the sales of brand-new video games at all. 

Correct me if I'm incorrect however you haven't heard Infinity Ward grumbling concerning the made use of the game market as well as it affecting their bottom line. 

Possibly the problem isn't that used video games have an unfavorable impact on the sale of new games but, the trouble is rather that game developer require to make far better video games that gamers are willing to pay full rate for.

 In my point of view, not every game is worth $60 simply because it's the recommended retail price. Looking at points fairly not every game is produced similarly. As a result, not every video game is deserving of costing $60.

 I think that the War on Used Games is nothing more than a money grab by developers, distressed that they're unable to capitalize a very financially rewarding market. 

To put it in bucks and also cents, in 2009 Game Stop reported almost 2.5 million dollars in income from the sale of utilized gaming consoles as well as utilized games. And also not one red cent of that profit gets to the pockets of game authors. 

Greed as the encouraging factor for the statement of War on Used Games is transparent. Especially when you think about that when Game Stop began separating their profits from brand-new video games as well as used video games in their economic declarations, EA after that instituted their 10 dollar cost for utilized video games.

 The development in the 2nd version of the video game, which allows you to disembowel your opponents, is sufficient of a uniqueness that I 'd like to play via it at some point. I can acquire it currently, utilized, for regarding ten bucks. My point is that video game designers are not losing cash cause of used video games; you can not miss out on loan you weren't going to receive anyhow.

 Unless you have a significant quantity of non reusable earnings and a significant amount of leisure time, you're possibly like me, and also you focus on which games you prepare to purchase and also how much you're eager to pay for them. 

You determine which video games are should riches and which video games you 'd such as to play yet agree to await a rate decline before getting them. Then there are the video games which you're interested in, but they tend to fail the cracks because they're not all that high up on your radar as well as you'll maybe select them up a number of months later, or even years after their release, if you ever before picking them up in all.

 I find it ironic that the impending death of the used game market can likely mean the death of Game Stop that, ironically, push their customers to brand-new pre-order games and also acquire them at full price. 

One would think that game authors would be appreciative regarding this service as well as not dislike Game Stop and also treat utilized video games with such refuse. Pre orders not only help advertise their video games; however, they work as a forecast of possible sales too. 

Also Dave Their a contributor for Forbes Online, that explains Game Stop as, "a parasitical bloodsucker that does not do much besides mark up discs and being in the shopping mall," acknowledges the folly of passing the problem of the utilized game market onto the customer.

 I've just as soon as pre-ordered a game myself. At the wish of J. Agamemnon, I pre-ordered Battlefield 3, which is paradoxically a residential or commercial property of EA. 

I paid full cost for this game and more than happy to do so. In big part, since I was given access to several weapons as well as maps that I would have had to wait to download had I not pre-ordered it. I suggest that instead of penalizing players for wanting to save their difficult-earned cash, the pc gaming industry requires to find out to incentivize players into intending to bet to that 60 dollar price.

 I labeled this write-up The War on Used Games in an initiative to be jokingly and poke enjoyable at how whenever the government proclaims battle on medications or horror or whatever it might be, they only succeed in intensifying the problem. 

If the gaming sector does indeed go down this path; they'll only harm themselves in the long run, fall short to share in the profits they so greedily fancy as well as worst of all, hurt their consumers, that keep the gaming industry abreast with currency.

 It's extremely paradoxical and also in fact very fitting that it's EA that is heading the effort to assault the used video game market when they are one of the biggest beneficiaries of made use of games. 

Chips world MD Don Mc Cabe informed Games Industry.biz that EA has what he referred to as a "franchise business software application home" in that they "update their titles; FIFA, Madden; all of these are effectively the same title updated each year. Shutting down the utilized video games market efficiently ruins a tried and real technique in which followers of EA's franchises maintain updated with each of EA's annual releases.

 Don McCabe, an exec at Chipsworld, discusses that "customers won't flourish under this new system, as duplicates of the game will certainly shed their resale value.

That implies that ultimately it will be the publisher who ends up shedding money because when merchants readjust their prices to show the rise in price for made use of games, the resale worth of the game will go down and also brand-new games are much less most likely to be purchased.

 I'm a follower of numerous EA franchises; I appreciate Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, and also I'm a resist Sony PlayStation enthusiast. As their client, I'm annoyed and also upset by their current methods. I am afraid wherefore future techniques they may utilize to more suppressor perhaps kill the utilized video game market. 

That claimed, I'm confident that these firms will certainly be responsive to the outcry of their clients and also abide by our wants. I beg them to stop punishing their customers for catching what they regard as missed revenues. 

They take the chance of not just alienating their customers however, they run the risk of discovering themselves with significantly fewer clients and also significantly fewer earnings. As well as at the end of the day, that's the lower line.

Cawag Hexa DayHike - The Ultimate Hell Hike

After having minor climb for the past two-months since I started hiking, I didn’t want to be called “beginner” again, so I tried to find some major hike that’s available on my chosen date. My first choice to be my major hike is Montablan Hexalogy but I can’t find any events since I only looked the day before the hike itself. Then I found Cawag Hexa event the next day. I immediately messaged the organizer that I’m interested to join without telling her that I’m a beginner and this will be my first major hike just to make sure that she would let me join. And she did.

The Cawag hexa consists of 6 peaks compressed into a dayhike, thus the “hexa” part. Mt. Balingkilat (1100 masl), Mt. Bira-bira (450 masl), Mt. Naulaw, Mt. Dayungan (935 masl), Mt. Cinco Picos (881 masl) and Mt. Redondo (660 masl).

I met the event organizer and her team at Shaw Greenfields before riding a private van to Zambales. At the local police station, we had our group photo taken for security and safety purposes.  

The local officer also gave us a short briefing. Then we had another few-minutes ride to Sitio Cawag to get our guides. Here, they gave us a short preview of how strenuous the climb’s gonna be, and we’ve also been informed of our options to cut the hexalogy to penta, quadra, or just trilogy if we feel like we can’t make the hexa hike considering time-constraint and other difficulties. 

We started initial trek from the jump-off at 4:30AM. 

There were tall grasses with sharp edges that can give you itch or even cut your skin. In tagalog we call those plants "talahib". 

This is how our pacing looks like on our way to the summit. There’s great distance between us.

Slowly but surely we made our way up and as the sun starts to rise, I had a better view of Mt. Balingkilat knife-edge assault that surely intimidated me.  Extra caution must be taken hiking that part of the trail. 

We took a group photo on the camp before doing the assault to the Mt. Balingkilat summit.

From the summit of Mt. Balingkilat we were rewarded with wonderful view of Nagsasa cove was stunning and we couldn’t resist getting pictures. We got a quick group picture before heading down the traverse trail to the next peaks. 

Finally, after a long climb down a long rocky ridge, we got to the foot of Bira-bira peak. 

We started to get really tired at navigating Bira-Bira and Naulaw peak. Having the nice views of the ocean tame us to start traverse-descent and just have a side-trip to the beach. But I don’t wanna disappoint myself in my first major hike. Some of us also decided not to finish hexalogy anymore and started traverse to Bira-Bira.

Here, I noticed that guideship here is not as good as in other mountains. Our guide would sometimes leave our group far behind and he wouldn’t really keep track of all the participants. All they would do is point you in the right direction and it’s up to you to follow. 

Mt. Bira-Bira has the lowest elevation among the mountains we scaled. Bira-bira peak and Naulaw peak  marked by an antenna of some sort. To be honest I don’t think they’re really mountains as they look more like low ridges one had to traverse to get to Mt. Dayungan. 

After some rolling trails, we reached the foot of Mt. Dayungan, the fourth peak. There’s river where the last water source is located so we also decided to have our lunch here. After a short nap, we woke up and continued the hike to the next major climb. 

It was until that difficult moment when half of the team decided to stop and just go back because of the dehydrating weather condition There’s five people on the lead team who pushed thru with My. Dayungan, and four of us on the mid. While, the rest of our group decided to just skip Mt. Dayungan and go straight to the 5th and last mountain. Climbing Mt. Dayungan is quiet a big deal at this time because it is one of the three major ascents in this circuit, along with Mt. Balingkilat and Mt. Cinco Picos. It’s also the hottest part of the climb. With the perseverance of some of us despite the extreme heat we pushed forward to Mt. Dayungan. 

After escaping the trees of the water source, it was open trails all the way under the sun. The journey to Dayungan is indeed a hell-hike. The trail is burnt, no shades from trees, the air is dry, and I can really feel the heat reach underneath my skin. 

We had no choice but to find little shade from small rocks for take 5′s.

We we’re moving so slow under the sweltering noontime heat. I had to stop for a moment with my eyes closed, just to tell myself to keep going and I can do it. As we kept going in spite of the intense heat, we climbed until we reached the top of the fourth peak. 

The climb to Dayungan was steep, rocky, and dusty, but finally we reached the rocky summit. We enjoyed the amazing scenery of Silanguin and Anawangin coves while recovering energy. We descended carefully seeing the knife edges that we have to tackle as we head to the next mountain. 

I told my friends that I will rush going down and try to catch up with the lead team so I went ahead and started trekking without any take-5′s. I said hi to them and just continued trekking so I can catch up with the lead team. Despite the heat, I managed to maintain a good pace and I still have energy. 

I saw our sweep team on my way to Cinco Picos, but instead of resting, I continued to make my way down more ridges and valleys to catch up with the lead team, and gladly I did.

The sun set as we made our way through the last mountain, Mt. Redondo. I already ran out of water by the time we reached the 5th mountain. I realized that I don’t have a headlamp and I’m not sure if my powerbank flashlight could make it till we reach jump-off. So that means I need to stay close with the lead team to make sure I can share their lights.

I literally walked blind through the tall grasses but I still tried my best to walk faster, ignoring my scratches, in order to catch up with the lead team.  My every step was only guided by shared lights from the headlamps of the hiker infront of me. We passed through several local houses until we reached the familiar jump-off.

We were the first group to descend. While waiting for the rest of our team, I washed off and had some dinner with the rest of the lead. There’s only one carinderia that’s open and we’re lucky to be able to have dinner even with just few meals left. I need to advise anyone who wants to do Cawag Hexa to bring lots of food because there’s no stops or carinderias along the way. Once you leave the jumpoff, you have to be self-sufficient until you return.

I fell asleep all the way back to Manila. I didn’t have much energy left and the climb really drained me.

As my first major hike, this climb was really difficult for me. The endless descending and ascending ridges was tremendously long and draining. The lack of water sources was definitely an added challenge and it did help me get used to hiking with minimum hydration.

🔮A Huge Tarot Master-Post🔮

Hello~ I figured I’d make my first master-post about Tarot! This is my interpretation, so I don’t ask that you just go by my word. It’s your path! I’m just here to try to help.

This will be VERY in-depth. So I apologize in advance for the lengthy post, but I hope it will help. 

What is “Tarot”?

Personally for myself I see Tarot as a tool. I use it to help myself and others with some guidance with their lives; however, when it comes to Tarot, don’t let it rule over your decisions in your life. It is a tool but that does not mean that you should only go by what it says.

Types of Readings

There are two types of readings when it comes to Tarot: Question readings and Open Readings.

Question Readings

Just as the title says Tarot involves answering questions. Yes or No questions aren’t meant to be answered by Tarot. When it comes to Yes or No questions pendulums are used with their corresponding charts. Like I stated before, you shouldn’t use Tarot to make decisions but to guide you to help you make the decision yourself. The way a question is stated is important for Tarot readers. Here’s a few tips on what you should look out for:

🔮 Keeping your options open: If you already have an answer for your question, then you’re not really letting yourself allow the cards to guide your decision.  Asking how you could encourage your mother-in-law to move out, as opposed to asking how you can get along better with her, is narrowing the scope of the true question by answering it before you even get started.

🔮 Details: Your question should be focused, but not overly detailed. Rather than looking at one particular aspect of a problem, find a way to look more broadly at it. For example, rather than asking how you can make your home life less chaotic, ask how you can better balance work schedules and school schedules. That is a focused question. But do not go so far as to ask how you can coordinate baseball, soccer and karate schedules and still have family time – that’s too detailed. Only include the minimum level of detail needed in order to express what you want to learn from the cards.

🔮 Focus on Yourself: If the reading is for yourself, make sure your question focuses on you rather than on someone else who you think may be the root of your problem. If you’re wanting to help someone, for example, ask about what you can do to help them.

🔮 Stay Neutral: Basically be unbiased. Don’t come off with the notion that your POV is the “right” one. Asking why you’re always the one getting yelled at between you and your parent(s) isn’t neutral; instead, ask how you can prevent future arguments with your parent(s). That’s neutral!

🔮 Be Positive: When it comes to Tarot, and anything really, you’ll want to always try to be positive. Instead of asking why a specific event didn’t happen, ask about what you can do to make that event happen. Positivity is always great!

Open Readings

These are also known as “General” readings. They address the larger aspects of life rather than a question or a specific area. I’ve found that Past, Present, Future readings are very popular since it talks about people’s lives. They’re always eager to see if the cards can truly tell about their life! You can also direct the General readings towards a basic “genre”. Career, Health, Finances, Love, etc.

The Tarot Deck

There are many varieties of Tarot decks, and there is no standard number of cards across all decks. While the types of cards, the suits and their meanings are the same, the illustrations vary greatly. Decks are based on various themes such as nature, animals, fantasy, dragons, etc.

When it comes to finding a deck of your own, don’t just choose one based on the design. Focus on the connection between you and your future tool, your future guide. I have the Tarot Draconis Deck that called to me. It’s a beautiful dragon based deck that has connected with me. The bond we have today is inseparable!

I say “bond” because each deck has it’s own personality. That’s why Tarot readers do interview “spreads” to help them get to know their decks a bit better. I’ll explain spreads more thoroughly later on in this post. When it comes to their personalities, some decks are blunt, some are meant for giving other people readings and others could be laid back.

The Major and Minor Arcana

When you look through a Tarot Deck, there will be two different sets of cards: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Let’s look at the Minor Arcana first. You’ll find that like regular playing cards there are four suits; however, instead of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs there are Wands, Pentacles (Circles), Cups (Chalices), and Swords. Each of these represents an element.

Each suit has meaning regarding a specific approach to life. The cards within these suits are numbered one through 10 and also include the court cards – the king, queen, knight and page (knave). The Minor Arcana cards represent the more minor, practical daily ups and downs in life.

The Major Arcana are not associated with the suits. They include the picture cards that represent principles, concepts and ideals. They are numbered one through 21, with the 22nd card (the “Fool”) marked as zero. The Major Arcana cards represent strong, long-term energy or big events in some area of life.

Minor Arcana and the Four Suits

As I stated before, each of the Suits represents an element. Let’s talk about each one and break down what they mean, as well as the cards within them. Then we’ll move on to the Major Arcana!

When it comes to the different cards, there are negatives and positives. When a card is upside-down, the term being “reversed”, then it represents negative attributes of that card. When it’s upright then it represents positive attributes.

For myself, I don’t read reverse cards. I base it on my intuition. I’ll explain how your intuition is used with tarot later on in this post.

Suit of Pentacles

🌱Also known as Coins, Disks, or Circles.

🌱Represents the element Earth.

🌱Covers material aspects of life including work, business, trade, property, money and other material possessions.

🌱 Pentacles deal with the physical or external level of consciousness and thus mirror the outer situations of your health, finances, work, and creativity. They have to do with what we make of our outer surroundings – how we create it, shape it, transform it and grow it.

🌱 On a more esoteric level, Pentacles are associated with the ego, self-esteem and self-image.

🌱 The positive aspects of the Suit of Pentacles include manifestation, realization, proof and prosperity.

🌱 The negative aspects of the Suit of Pentacles (i.e. when the Pentacles cards appear reversed) include being possessive, greedy and overly materialistic, over-indulging and not exercising, not effectively managing one’s finances, and being overly focused on career to the detriment of other life priorities.

Often what is required to counteract these negative aspects is a return to nature to ground oneself and rediscover what is truly important. In addition, there may be blockages in being able to manifest ideas and plans resulting in a lack of success. Better goal-setting and planning is required.

🌱 When referring to timing in a Tarot reading, the Suit of Pentacles traditionally represents Winter or years.

🌱 In a deck of playing cards, Pentacles corresponds to Diamonds.

🔮 - If a Tarot reading is predominantly made up of the Minor Arcana Tarot cards, you are dealing with day-to-day issues which will not necessarily having a lasting influence on your life. 

These issues are passing through, presenting you with an opportunity to learn from these experiences (look to any Major Arcana cards to identify and understand these lessons and how they may impact your life in the long-term).

Major Arcana

The Major Arcana Tarot card meanings illustrate the structure of human consciousness and, as such, hold the keys to life lessons passed down through the ages.

Tarot Spreads

Now that we’ve talked about the Minor and Major Arcanas, let’s talk about Tarot spreads! Before any Tarot reader does a reading, they shuffle their cards. This allows them to transfer their energy into the deck.

Once the cards are shuffled and the deck has been cut, the reader lays out the cards in a pattern called the spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning, and there are many different types of spreads, ranging from those that incorporate a single card to spreads that include all 78 cards of the deck. Which spread is used is up to the reader and the specific type of question or reading. Some spreads focus more on a specific type of information. For example, one spread might focus more on emotional matters, while another might bring in more information about the influences of others. One of the most common spreads is the Celtic Cross.

Interpreting the Spread:

Once the cards are laid out, their meanings are interpreted based on their positions and their neighboring cards. Let’s look at the Celtic Cross spread:

Begin by looking at the Circle/Cross section. The cards in this position represent what is happening in your life at the time of the reading.

Next, look at the first six cards in pairs. These cards paint a picture of your immediate situation. The cards in position 1 (the central issue) and position 2 (the secondary issue that can either be opposing or reinforcing) will identify the central theme of the reading. The cards in position 3 (the root cause that can be an unconscious influence or deeper meaning) and position 5 (your attitudes and beliefs, a conscious influence, your goal or an alternate future) represent things that are going on within you at different levels. And, the cards in position 4 (your past, a receding influence or something that has been resolved) and position 6 (the future or an approaching influence or unresolved factor) represent how people and events are flowing through your life.

Next, look at the Staff section of the spread, again considering cards in pairs. Looking at the cards in position 7 (as you are, as you could be, as you present yourself and as you see yourself) and position 8 (your outside environment, someone else’s point of view and you as others see you) tells you about your relationship with your environment.

Finally, look at the card in position 10 (the outcome-overall, your inner state, your actions or effects) to see the projected outcome.

Ask yourself how you feel about the projected outcome. What does it say to you?

Go back and review the cards that led up to that outcome, and see if there is a card that stands out as they key to that outcome. Then, look back at card 5 to see if the projected outcome is also shown as an alternate outcome there. Look at the card representing the near future in position 6 to see if it supports or contributes to the projected outcome. Finally, look at the card in position 9 (guidance, key factors, hopes and fears or overlooked factors) to see there is any relevance there.

This is one of many different spreads. You can even make your own spreads! Ultimately, start small and learn as you go. Spreads are very easy once you get the hang of it.

Intuition

Last but certainly not least, we’re going to talk about Intuition!

What is intuition?  A thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.

When it comes to Tarot cards, and giving out readings or doing one for yourself, intuition is key. Witchcraft in general involves intuition 9 times out of 10! For example, when I do my readings for people, I don’t just go by what the cards mean. I trust my intuition about what it means, with my gut feeling. If I feel it’s something to do with family, I go with it. If it has something to do with an important event coming up in the future, I trust it.

You may not get it down right away, and that’s perfectly okay! It’ll take some time to get it down pat. Just don’t forget to listen to your gut!

There you go! I hope this Master Post helps you guys learn a little more about Tarot. I’ll be posting another one later for in-depth descriptions of all the cards!

Brightest blessings!

I Was Adopted by Aliens: Chapter 7

Chapter Directory

I awoke to gentle knocking, and opened the door. I could smell fresh paint outside, it made me slightly nauseous. A four legged worker was outside, with a small device in their hands. I invited them in.

"This is a clock. Our day is about eighteen of your hours long. It begins at clock zero, which is the time of the sunset on the winter solstice and first day of the year."

I looked at the thing. It was ten progress bars stacked on top of each other. The bottom two seemed to be unmoving, the next few moved slowly, while the top few moved quickly.

"The bottom line represents the entire day. It's about halfway through," they said, pointing it out. "So it would be nearly dawn, or just after, if we were on the planet."

There were also marks painted above the bar to mark out its subdivisions.

"The next bar represents half that time, you can see it's very close to completely full."

"Wait wait, the day's half over, measured from sundown. Are you nocturnal?" I asked.

"Yes. Are you not?"

"No. I prefer the higher brightness lights, but I left them off for your sake." I could flip the lights on high when I needed them.

"I see. I will inform the Patriarch. Moving on, the next bar represents half of the second one. And so on. The fifth bar is closest to your hour, and the top one is our shortest unit of time outside of scientific settings that require more precision. Is this sufficient?"

I looked over the subdividing marks on the clock. It would be easiest if I could take my medicines at a routine time each day, preferably corresponding with waking and sleeping. If I slept for eight hours each day, that would give me ten hours awake each day. A healthy person would probably bemoan the missing six hours of wakefulness, but the chronic fatigue inside of me made it sound good. Maybe I'd even feel better on this schedule.

That just left my meds. "I need to ask the medical team about my medications, then."

I figured I'd ask later, but the worker cocked their head strangely. "This is Rose, speaking through the mind link. What do you need?"

I was stunned. "Hi, Rose. My medications are designed to be taken twice an Earth day. Can you make slightly smaller versions so I can take them twice in one of your days instead?"

"Why don't you just use the clock to figure out when you need to take them?"

"Several reasons," I answered, feeling slightly annoyed. "One, it would mean taking them at a different time each day. Two, I am having enough difficulty learning your clocks without trying to add converting back and forth between your time and Earth time. Three, I have memory problems and cognitive difficulties as a result of my genetic defect, and the odds of my miscalculating and missing taking my medicine or taking them too soon are really high. Four, humans benefit significantly from having an established routine. I would like to wake up, take my medications, go about my day, and take my medications before sleeping, as I'm accustomed to."

"I thought your species was highly adaptable?"

"We are. But the way we accomplish that is by only adapting to things that are unavoidable. There's no need to make things more complicated than absolutely necessary. If it's not possible for you to make smaller versions, then I'll have to figure it out. But if you can, it would be ideal."

"I see. I'll need a few hours to tinker with them, but I'll have your new medicine delivered to your room."

"Thank you, Rose," I said gratefully.

The worker stretched a bit. "I'm glad that was easy!" So they'd retained awareness of the conversation. "Tell me everything else you need," they said. "We'll do our best to provide it."

I tried to list everything I could think of, from toothbrush and floss to shoes, from notebooks to more knitting supplies. I tried to think of anything I might possibly need, sanitary supplies, hair ties, hair brushes, and more.

"I'll also need a way to contact someone if I need assistance," I added.

"What do you mean?"

"Were you the one who found me during my flare?"

"No, but I am aware of it. Is that common for your species?"

"Not for the entire species, but for me, yes. If I need to use the toilet or take medicine or eat during a flare, I'll need help. And I won't be able to go find anyone."

"We could assign a worker to sit outside in case you need them."

"No, that... That's not an ideal solution, and I don't feel up to explaining why. I'd rather something like a telephone where I could speak with someone to explain what I need, or a button I could press that would notify someone to come here."

"We could make a simple button. We're still working on adapting a tablet to your visual wavelengths. The medical team wants to test your sight in a few days. Once we have a working tablet, you'll be able to use it for communication and learning our written language. We're already repainting all the ship's signs in purple for you. Even if you don't learn to read them properly, hopefully you'll be able to use them to guide you somewhat."

"Thank you. I'm... I can't believe you're going to so much trouble to make me comfortable here."

"You are part of our family now, for however long you have left."

That was ominous.

"Unless you know something I don't, I don't think I'll be dying any time soon." I folded my arms in annoyance, and if they thought I was frightened, maybe they'd explain.

"Robin said that you were nearing the end of your life cycle, that's all."

"No, I don't know where Robin got that idea from. I've got a bare minimum of thirty Earth years left, and more likely fifty or more."

They let out an awful noise. "But you said you were too old to get a new family?!"

Oh. I unfolded my arms and sighed. "Humans reach maturity and the end of our growth period at eighteen Earth years, but can live to be up to one hundred and ten Earth years. If your family dies before you reach maturity, in your first eighteen years, you get a new family. If your family dies after that time, you just... Live by yourself."

"But...but that could mean up to ninety two of your years alone!"

"Yes, it could."

It made that awful distressed noise again. "That's horrible!"

"It's normal for humans. We just... Adapt."

"But you save your adaptability for situations that are unavoidable. That is avoidable."

How best to explain. "Humans are...more territorial. If Mother were a human, she would know that I wasn't born of her, and possibly try to stop me from using resources that could go to the children she birthed. While we do have adoption, it's usually reserved for families that can't birth children at all. Also our families are much smaller, only a handful of individuals. Once reaching maturity, many will leave their families to start their own homes."

"It sounds like your parents are more like mentors than parents."

"Maybe. What do mentors do in your species?"

"Once a child is old enough to leave Mother, they are placed with one or two mentors, who will nurture them and teach them how to be an adult. Then, when the child is old enough to work as an adult, they join the rest of the family properly."

"And if you mentored a child, would you want to see that child be more successful than other children?"

They fidgeted nervously. "Somewhat, yes, although that is shameful to admit. But most mentors feel similarly. A child's success is a reflection of them."

I nodded. "But because you're all from the same family, you wouldn't sabotage another mentor to make your child look better. Or steal resources from them to give to your child."

They could see where this was going. "But human parents would do those things?"

"Yes. Not always, and as we've grown as a society, that happens less and less often."

"The less scarce resources are, the less you fight over them?"

"Exactly."

"Then why do you still have war now?"

I wasn't feeling up to answering. "It's complicated. Another time?"

"Yes. Are you hungry?"

"I am. I'd also like to have a small supply of food in here, to eat when I don't feel well enough to go get food or need a small snack at odd times."

"Don't worry about that. You'll have a button to press when you need help, and if you want to ask for food then do so."

"I would prefer to do some things for myself."

"Why?" The question was so open it surprised me.

These things - still hadn't asked a species name, damn my memory - had a family/colony structure that was based on cooperation and interdependence. They probably didn't have a concept of 'doing things for yourself', not the way humans did. As long as I helped out to the best of my ability, they were ready to throw the entire colony's resources at helping me.

"There's no sense wasting someone else's time for something I could do."

"It would be more trouble to get food storage into your room than it would to have someone get it for you. Unless this is a 'contingency plan'? Are you afraid of not having food?"

I sighed. "No, it's fine. I'll just ask."

They nodded. "And what about now? Do you want to come eat with everyone or do you want to eat here?"

"I'd like to come eat with everyone."

They nodded and held the door open for me. Outside of my room, I looked at the painting on my door. I couldn't make sense of the writing system, but something told me I was looking at pictographs rather than phonetic spelling. Especially when I saw, carefully reproduced, the man and woman from the Voyager's golden record. "What does this say?"

"This room is for Morgan, the human," they read. "See? Human," they said, pointing it out.

I laughed. "Yes, I see. What are your people called?"

"You can't say it. We can't say your words either, but when I say 'yellow sun bipeds', the translator knows I mean you and translates appropriately. That's also how we all 'remember' the human names you give us. We actually don't, but the translator does."

"I see. Then I'll call your people the Familions, which is a play on the word family, which seems to be the most important part of your culture, to me."

They waved their hand in what seemed to be a gesture of understanding. We walked along towards the main hallway.

"This ship must be huge. How far away are we going?"

"The main hallway has a -" technology I don't understand "-so you're never more than a short walk from where you want to go."

"I didn't understand much of that."

"The main hallway is circular and moves in a central shaft, so we walk down the hall while the hall moves inside the ship, and we arrive at the door to the dining room easily," they said, leading me into the dining room. "You're never more than a moment from anywhere."

If it was like an elevator, I didn't know how it could serve the entire ship without wait times, but apparently it worked.

The dining room was huge. Cavernous, even. The ceiling was painted black, and the walls were painted purple, though plain instead of the sparkling wallpaper. Mushrooms grew out of pots along the walls, and misters kept them hydrated.

Over a hundred Familions sat at tables throughout the area, and while I could see food being served at the back, many of them were gathered around the walls, simply grabbing mushrooms and eating them raw.

There was a small cooking area partitioned off, it looked recent and hurried. A few pots of mushrooms of a different type were growing in that section. A worker was making something as we walked up, and soon turned around to present me with something vaguely like mushroom risotto with a bowl of plum-like fruits on the side and a large glass of water.

"Don't share your food with anyone, and don't sit by the walls," they advised me, then started to clean up. Apparently I had my own kitchen due to the dietary differences. "I tried my best to make it taste good, let me know if you have any ideas."

"Thanks," I said, and took my tray to a central table. The worker escorting me went to get their own tray, and came to sit with me.

"Your diet is fascinating, in a horrifying way. No offence intended."

I laughed before tucking into my food. It wasn't that bad. Strange, mostly. "This is good, mostly. For having to figure me out from scratch, it's really good. I don't suppose you have salt?"

"Salt is corrosive. You eat it?"

"In very small amounts, yes. It's beneficial in small amounts, though large amounts cause trouble. It makes things taste better."

"I'll tell the medical team."

"Thanks." Out of things to say, we ate in silence. It was too late for children to be up, so it was quite peaceful. After dinner, I asked to be shown the way back to my room. I also asked for them to set my clock's alarm to wake me at clock zero the next day. I was going to start keeping a proper schedule starting in the morning.

RED FLAGS YOU CAN SEE IN A JOB INTERVIEW AS A WARNING!

New Post has been published on https://newscheckz.com/red-flags-you-can-see-in-a-job-interview-as-a-warning/

RED FLAGS YOU CAN SEE IN A JOB INTERVIEW AS A WARNING!

These are different real situations gathered from social media families from their experiences while attending a job interview.

From their experiences, they say if you see below signs, it is high time you respect yourself and move on. We believe these information could help someone avoid toxic workplaces early in the interview process.

1. Keeping a candidate waiting for too long without making them comfortable. It shows the value the business leaders places in people. 2. Interview interruptions, either from external members of staff or the interviewers always excusing themselves to take a phone call. 3. Pestering the candidate as though you are trying to show them how much they do not know. 4. Interviews being postponed severally or taking too long to be set after the initial conversation is a sure red flag, 5. Impromptu Interviews, eg, being called this morning for an afternoon Interview. It is not necessarily evil, but it should be a red flag of disorganization that shall affect your employee experience in the long run. 6. Interviewees speaking to each other, in their mother-tongue in between your interview.

My story I went for a job induction at an LG electronics dealership and the manager there who I guess wanted me to feel his authority came and told me, ‘ unajua hatujajuana vizuri, akasema wait kidogo I will be back so that we get to know each other.That manager harassed me sana that day by just telling me to take a scenario where am selling a tv on phone then sell it to an employee who was there, I gave it try and it was not to his liking. Kupewa lecture ikafuata for long then akauliza an employee there if nimefunzwa how to respond to such things wakasema bado but they will teach me. The whole day huyo manager tu alikua ananiita ananiambia imgn you are selling a tv ,sell it to this employee. After unaambiwa enda, then unaitwa tena unaambiwa imagine you are selling a tv sell it to now a different employee. Niliharasiwa hivo the whole day hadi nikauzia Kila employee kwa hiyo place scenarios za tv, I felt like a mono joining form one. Hapo nikaloose hope na hiyo kazi

When they give you those “interview assignments” in the name of testing your skills beware. Most want interviewers to give them ideas and work plans then they will go ahead and use it and not hire any interviewers. I got such a job interview and told them due to time I can only do part of the task to show them my skills and thought process. I did the bare minimum but gave it my all. They later followed up that my work was unique and if I can give more details. I told them I got other engagements and I would appreciate if they could give me feedback of the interview from my work and the oral interview. They wrote back saying they can’t hire me at the moment but if I could be interested in giving them more details they would appreciate it. I ignored them coz I knew they were users. You work for them for free in the name of “it’s an interview process.” Pass me with that sh*t! I prepared a whole recruitment strategy for them. Their mzungu called wanting to get more information on what I had written, I gladly explained and that was the end. There was actually an online petition to make them stop interviewing people for ideas and never hiring them. One Acre Fund is good at this. They advertise one position daily only for ideas from candidates and will NEVER hire them.

Look at the shoes of the employees from the gate to the interview room. You’ll learn a lot about the company. Viatu if the salary is low they’ll will be very well dressed but with cheaper shoes, Most people with Low income can rarely budget for a decent pair of shoes… I’ve used it severally, not only for interviews but even in marketing. When approaching a company for a deal I look at the shoes of every person I meet. If most have decent shoes the deal normally goes through if not they people you’ll meet at the office will have very little regard of what you are selling and theur clients…. That thing works like it’s yesterday… There is a firm I found most employees had very nice but cheaper shoes and some had torn ones at the gate, yet the director wore imported designer sandals… By the time I got to talk to him I already knew his answer. Problem is his firm is based on out look, I.e they are in the service industry yet he had invested so little in his employees… Honey, I work for a leather company and am in leather footwear sales…. I know a good shoe by looking at it…If your employees can afford nor to recycle good leather shoes with a quality sole (can even start from 1000/= but with a good sole from 2500/=) then they are paid well. On the same note, you can spot an overworn Leather shoe anywhere. .. Ata viatu za punch, You need like 5 to maintain a good look throughout the week… If a shoe is overworn you’ll know…

  Once upon a time(not so long ago) a certain hotel on Mombasa road called and asked if I could attend an interview, I told them I was not interested as I was already working elsewhere…..they were insistent and I opted against my better judgement and went for the interview. They wasted 3hrs, and they had no courtesy of keeping us informed on what’s going on. I went to the Ass. H.R and asked her to give me my c.v which they had from earlier application, she politely did, asked her to go to their system and delete my profile as a viable candidate and to never contact me and I left. The following day they had the nerve to call me and asked why I left……..I just hang up on them.

  Business people interviewing young businessman in office

Always inquire about the employee turnover….. No matter how nice the boss sounds as you step in, this might just be a way to win you then use you. I joined a UK-based company in 2018, remote working with staff all over…. First as a backoffice supervisor and in two months I was promoted to asst.PM. Senior PM was an Indian lady based in Abu Dhabi. I used to find too many collisions on calls between her and the boss and I thought she was the issue. In 5months I was promoted to senior pm and she was fired. In short, by the time I resigned after two years, the company had lost 8 senior employees, most just resigned out of frustration. So, just note that if the turnover is high, you’ll either take too much shit or the job won’t be there for too long!

There is this lucrative job offer I got with some tea company..so the day we went to discuss the offer and sign off the contract tukamalizana vizuri with the then to be my boss..He asked me when I would report nikamuambia in a months time…same response I gave in the interview akasema okay..kuenda kwa Hr a kiuk lady..aliniongelesha matope ati you are doing nothing at home yet u need one month to report ati people would give anything to be in your place blabla.. I told her the fact that am not employed doesn’t mean I have notjing else running mayoooo tantrums ati ohh ama u think ur husbanda money is soo sufficient etc..i just told her am sorry I will not take the job anymore!alibaki kinywa wazi..she kept on calling to ask if I had had a rethink nikamuambia ? Rita, know your worth dear..utafika hapo tuu…always remember apart from being a job seeker you are a HUMAN BEING that should be treated with dignity…nothing less..You can imagine the baggage I would deal with coz she already had a formed mentality about me…Mark you I had not applied for the job someone referred me sue to work experience

  “Willing to work long-hours and under pressure” on the JD. Won’t even bother applying.

Politely ask how many people have quit the team that’s trying to hire you in the last year. If it’s more than 1, there’s probably a good reason. High staff-turnover is a huge redflag. Run!!

Boss shouting and/or being rude to the teagirl. Also watch the other workers. If they shrink at the boss’ sight, run.

Being delayed at the interview eg you are scheduled to be interviewed at 9am and come 11am you are still waiting worse still if no explanation is being given to you

If he/she tells you that there’s no fixed work schedule (yet the arrival time is fixed), or no fixed job description, just know you’ll be misused thoroughly. Also if you are told a story about how the employee you are meant to replace quit without notice…

I once attended an interview and at some point the panel started discussing something in their native language, in my presence yet am not a Dutch??, really disrespectful i knew i didn’t belong there

No organization will treat you better than they do at the interview. If it’s off then, it’s off.

So many years back, I went for an interview and had this guy smoking in the interview room. The oral went on for more than an hour and the guy was now chain smoking in the interview room. I excused myself from the interview and went home.

Show up at the interview scheduled time…. interviewer running late up to two hours and no explanation is given

  the workers look stressed, and underpaid, not smartly dressed…..and if you happen to ask there is a high rate of employees leaving and new ones being recruited….jua iko shida

  You go for an entry level job Interview you meet more than 10 panelists.. Honestly for a simple reception job why need such a crowd..yet they have shortlisted more than 20 candidates..that’s a scaam

An organization that keeps on hiring (for same positions) indicates a high level of staff turnover.

If u want to gauge how serious an organization is, read the body language of the security guard n the receptionist!!! If they appear demoralized n dejected, my friend, run.

The type of questions they ask.. one male interviewer kept asking about my personal life e.g “if you say you are not married then are you dating?” And you said you have children, where is their dad?” Questioning for an Administrative position.!!!! I answered like this like this coz I was already pissed..

Reading the comments…this is the way to go..Don’t entertain bullshit..know your worth..Don’t ever look desperate and have confidence .

The best one I went the boss offered me lunch as we discussed my experience and job description. I got the job…I salute that gentleman.

I went for an interview ,fikad there early that time it’s in inda,around 9 it’s when 3 men came with mud all over their shoes ,the supposed directors,instead of apologising for being late one of them told me in kikuyu “mbũra ĩrĩa yũrĩte limurũ”….I knew it was my time to leave…..

I went for an interview once ,the interview which was scheduled for 2pm started at 5pm. Prior to that,us interviewees had been sent a form to sign that we would forfeit 50% of our first salary because we had used an agency, which wasn’t true because all of us had been shortlisted from a career fair. I had been jobless for a while but I knew there was no way we would work peacefully. I did the interview as a formality,counted my fare and time loss and trusted God for better opportunities.

Attended an interview hapa tu Mombasa road ,I was asked my tribe on the questionnaire and there was an interview room which was a red flag for me ,it meant people were either getting fired all the time or they quit all the time . After the interview , I was informed by somebody on the inside that they don’t take luos because wako na malalamishi mingi and luhyas because wanapenda kuenda leave na matanga kila weekend. They only take kikuyu and merus because they are hardworking.

  I went for an interview with some garbage collection organization based in mukuru, Kwa gate napatana na matope mob, then the guy I was to converse with was missing and sent his colleague to sit in for him, the guy I think called John looked tired and not interested and at the same time lacked interview skills. From the looks hao ata mshahara wangesema 35k for a HRO position. Those are the kind of jobs I don’t regret not getting

1.”Why do you think this is the job for you?” ( The interview process is for the candidate to learn if they also want to work for you) 2. “What’s your weakness?” (This question is just dumb)

Any company that has a relative to the owner working in a powerful position…..RUN

When employees are speaking in their vernacular languages kwa reception.. Wamama wanauziana bras hapo reception.. I am kinda glad i failed that interview. Alafu interviewers kukaa as if they are being forced to be there.

After the interview,If they tell you “Don’t call us,we will call you” Jipatie shugli and carry on with your life.That call will never come.

Ask what’s the company’s Employee Value Proposition, if the HR has none, take off!! The value a company offers to employees in return for the value they bring to the organization. This is the compensation and benefits from the employer in exchange for the employees skills, experience and productivity. This is a HR plan that determins rentation or loss of talent. If theres none – hapo ni Pata Potea Organisation…

At my job interview yesterday the MD said to me, why do you think i should give you this job?

i said, because my friend Mwangi works in your IT department, and he told me you’re fucking his sister.

???????

When they ask you(a lady) Are u married, do u have children, how many children do u have…& especially when the questions come in quick succession..They don’t want an employee wakuenda martenity ama wakushinda akisema ‘my baby is unwell’.

I was invited for an interview, The Ladies kept asking me if I’m married…one time… two times… third time they got into my veins and I asked them if they are married themselves ?Then they asked for a Three hundred thousand bribe…I told them if I had that money I wouldn’t be sitted There answering questions cz I don’t like questions anyway.Next day I was called to go start the Job

Dirty toilets,no thank you…I always make sure to visit the toilets

Alot of luhyas and kambas very toxic work place ???95% of kambas are the worst people to work with. The two tribes are snitches..will laugh with you but things they tell the boss behind your back…Kambas are sycophants, if they are colleagues unacheza chini, wasikuelewe, afadhali luhyas unajua livelive ni mchochezi, kambas can confuse you ??????????No wonder kaoz were long distance traders…kusambaza tu mushene na kujipendekeza kwa wadosi ..

A lady panelist asked what my family planning plans were.they were tired of female employees coz they have to go for maternity leave..saa hio am newly married ata nilishindwa la ku sema…afterwards they sent me a mail that I was the successful applicant two days letter they withdrew the offer wakasema they will let me know in due cause if I will be employed or not…useless organization..nkt..

I went for an interview at Faulu, it was going well till I was asked, “are you saved?” I said, no but I’m a Catholic. That’s where the interview ended.

You two fat women. I have never forgotten how you looked at me like I’m Jezebel. ????

If you see the job adverts ama your interviewer asks you whether you can work for under pressure ama for long hours wewe hepa tu. Hapo utafanya more than the standard 9 hours and most likely hutapata any overtime

We’ve shared experiences on toxic workplaces. Kindly share the different red flags you’ve seen at a job interview. This could help someone avoid toxic workplaces early in the interview process.

Research Papers Passing this “identification test” helps ensure that my review is sufficiently balanced and truthful. Using a duplicate of the manuscript that I first marked up with any questions that I had, I write a short summary of what the paper is about and what I really feel about its solidity. Would there have been a better method to take a look at these hypotheses or to research these results? Is the statistical analysis sound and justified? Could I replicate the outcomes using the knowledge in the Methods and the description of the evaluation? I even selectively verify individual numbers to see whether they're statistically plausible. I also rigorously take a look at the reason of the results and whether or not the conclusions the authors draw are justified and linked with the broader argument made within the paper.

28 Days In Zentai

I wished to exit, but I needed a brand new zentai extra. So not all that thrilling. Someplace around 4am as I completed pinning the primary body of the suit I looked at my overlocker. It was sat there on the desk, beneath its dust cover, laughing at me. Mocking my sheepish demeanor in relation to it's overcomplicated presentation. However I had sufficient. I purchased that factor with the intention of mastering it, and making my own good match outfits in my own fabric patterns. Not will it mock me! I spent in all probability 2 hours messing around with tensions, needle settings, differential feed settings, regular fabric sewing then eventually sewing on lycra. I eventually reached some extent the place I used to be joyful enough with how the fabric behaved and with out a flinch bought straight to work on sewing the body of my zentai.

Still, I obtained to the venue.

Stuffed my jacket and headphones and such into my bag to enter the cloakroom, and marveled at the highest notch effort TG always put into their designs and themed rooms.
