Random TGCF AU of the Day (I think this is the second one today but whatever)

This suddenly came to me while trying to remember what I was trying to write 3 years ago and it hit me!

Kiznaiver AU!

Or more accurately, the SWD fucks up the fate swap and there are consequences!

It's a forbidden spell. It's a complicated spell. It doesn't come with instructions and it's not like there's anyone he can turn to for help with it!

So when he swaps the fates, it has an accidental side effect. Qingxuan & He Xuan's souls end up bonded in a very peculiar way.

Anytime one of them experiences pain, the other also feels it.

And He Xuan is dealing with a Reverend of Empty Words that is VERY eager to inflict more pain and suffering upon him!

Shi Wudu is now VERY committed to making sure no harm comes to him or anyone near him while he, Pei Ming and Ling Wen FIGURE THIS OUT!

さてさて…

Effects bakeryのクリームパンブースターですが、大きい音で試してみてもHX-StompのEP擬きと音の違いがよくわからず、これならHXので良いか〜…と、なりまして。

OD系の音が最近必要になってきたのでMXRのDuke of Toneを仕入れて仕込んでみました。YouTubeでみて良さそうだったのと、コレならスペースに収まりそうだったので…

実際に音出しした感想は…コレ、良いですね〜。最初はちょっとハイ寄り過ぎると思ったのですが、それもトーン絞り気味にすれば問題無しでした。ギター側のボリューム操作にもしっかり追随してくれるし。全体的にゲインは低めであるけれど、ゲイン上げても音が破綻しないし、自分が苦手なTS系みたいなやり過ぎコンプ感も無し。もう一台欲しいくらいです。

AAHHH thank you so much ;w; <33333

“Okay, let’s start from the beginning. What makes you think you’ve, er… friend-zoned yourself with He Xuan?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Shi Qingxuan frowned at him, but Xie Lian only maintained that good-natured, slightly forced smile of his instead of agreeing. She huffed, “All I do is call myself her bestie! Sure, she insists that we’re not friends, but she’s always done that! Obviously, she sees me as her friend! Which would be great and all if I wasn’t completely in love with her!”

“I see. And that’s why you think you’re in the friend-zone?” Xie Lian repeated, a little dubious. “Because you put yourself there by always calling yourself her best friend?”

Shi Qingxuan nodded rapidly, relieved that her friend had finally caught on to her struggles. Now they could move on to the fixing it portion of the afternoon. “Yes! It’s all my fault, and now I don’t know what to do about it! That’s where you come in! Help me come up with a plan to claw my way out of the friend-zone and get myself a girlfriend!”

Apocalypse World

Did you know that some early PBTA games used to have *Blank* world as a naming scheme? it never really caught on

Touchstones: Fallout, Mad Max

Genre: Post-Apocalypse, Drama

What is this game?: Apocalypse World is a roleplay focused post-apocalyptic roleplaying game, its also the game that spawned the very popular PBTA framework

CWs: Apocalypse world deals with many dark themes, it's considered an "R-Rated" game citing Language, Sex, and Violence, it also features Mind control, mentions of drug use, and general post-apocalyptic horribleness, however I will attempt to stray away from those themes if possible

How's the gameplay?: OK, I'll likely actually link back to this review a few more times as we talk about other PBTA games, just so we can skip explaining the PBTA gameplay every time, so we're gonna try to be pretty thorough this time Apocalypse World's primary mechanic focuses on the use of Moves, Playbooks, and a 2d6 resolution system, where 1-6 is a miss, 7-9 is a weak hit, and 10-12 is a Strong hit, however your roll will always progress the story in some way, this way even failure can be fun! Moves trigger when doing specific actions, and they all interact with mechanics in some way, the prototypical move in Apocalypse world reads like this: "When Narrative trigger: gameplay effect", then this will either help you with a roll around the gameplay effect, or have you roll for a new gameplay effect, whereupon it'll read like this: "On a 1-6, Failure with consequences, on a 7-9 Success with Consequences, on a 10-12 Success with no consequences" Moves will usually add a stat to them, Apocalypse world's stats are Cool, Hard, Hot, Sharp, Weird, and HX, HX being an asymmetrical stat determining your relationship with other characters.

Playbooks are your character's narrative role, it will give your characters their narrative abilities, gameplay moves, relationships, appearances, basically everything about your character beyond things such as name (and even then, some games remove THAT distinction too), you pick one at the start and generally stick with them the whole game, think of it as a class, in Apocalypse World specifically every playbook has a "Special", a move that generally triggers when characters have sex, this might seem like the type of thing that other games in the framework dumpster pretty quick, but you'd be surprised it actually took a bit for people to get rid of that one

What's the setting (If any) like?: It has one Ok, in all seriousness, Apocalypse World's setting assumes you're playing in an edgy, presumably nuclear, mad max inspired post apocalypse, characters are grimy, aesthetics are leathery and gritty, mutations are common, and shit's BAD. Otherwise, feel free to work on the specifics, maybe you just want to play 1-to-1 fallout, or maybe you want to create your own fully original apocalyptic version of The Butt, Coventry, UK

What's the tone?: Dark. Apocalypse World makes it very clear that the world sucks, and the characters (probably) suck, while you could play a ragtag group of do-gooders, the game assumes a morally gray cast in a world that is actively hostile towards them. Apocalypse World's tone is, not for the faint of heart

Session length: Variable but 3 hours is usually enough to do quite a bit

Number of Players:  3 Minimum, but obviously more can help

Malleability: Apocalypse World's setting is generic to non existant, letting you play a ton of post apocalyptic settings, while branded apocalypses like Fallout or Mad Max might be difficult due to the inclusion of overt supernatural elements, you could really do any nuclear apocalyptic setting within this framework.

Resources: Apocalypse World has quite a few resources just due to being one of the oldest PBTA games, a google sheet exists, I've seen some short scenarios, and the game provides you with Move and Playbook cheat sheets, fan playbooks also exist and there's some pretty good ones if you look around enough, it's not a lot but it's enough for what the game is And here's the big cheese! While most modern PBTA design comes from Monsterhearts and Masks, this is the game that started it all, its gritty and very rough around the edges, but I still really like it

mattdinnadgemusic Just got back to the UK from the North American run of Louis Tomlinson’s Faith In The Future World Tour.

I’m really happy how my rig is sounding, every pedal on my board has a big role in how the set sounds. About a month into the tour @origineffects sent me one of the DCX Bass pedals to try out on the rig. It’s actually blown me away at how beautiful it sounds. I have it set on EQ mode, with a slight hint of drive, a nice low boost and a small high boost. I’m using it as an end-of-chain pre amp, so all the sounds go through it, and then into my Khan DI. It’s added some delicious colour to my tone that helps to make the cleaner sounds more rich and alive. But also is super responsive to my high gain drives and fuzzes, adding a lovely bit of colour and just helps to open them up, especially when properly digging in (it also handles octaves, synths and modulation beautifully). It essentially just makes everything sound even better than it already did. So thank you @origineffects for sending that over!

My signal chain is:

Origin Effects Cali76

GigRig G2 switcher

(Controlling: Wren and Cuff Phat Phuk B, Hamstead Subspace, Amptweaker Tight Fuzz Jr, Boss OC-2, and a Line6 HX Stomp)

Origin Effects DCX Bass

Khan VTDI

Probably my most used sound in the set is:

Origin Cali76 > Wren and Cuff Phat Phuk B > Hamstead Subspace > Origin DCX Bass

(This is outrageously versatile and sounds amazing on all the basses, both with flats and rounds, finger style, muted, and picked)

Patria Aviation will create industrial base for F-35 service in Finland

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/18/2023 - 16:00 in Military

The Finnish Minister of Defense, Antti Häkkänen, authorized the Finnish Defense Forces to finalize a contract with Patria Aviation Oy to develop service capabilities for F-35 fighters.

This measure, supported by the Government Finance Committee on December 14, 2023, marks a crucial step in improving Finland's defense infrastructure.

The contract focuses on the development of the industrial cooperation capabilities of the F-35 project of the Finnish Air Force. Patria Aviation Oy will provide services that include punctual work for the construction of the industrial cooperation capabilities of the F-35 system, along with machines, equipment, tools and information systems necessary for production. In addition, the contract covers support to reach full production speed.

The contract, which runs from 2023 to 2026, is estimated at a maximum value of 90 million euros, excluding value added tax. Including the value added tax of 24% (21.6 million euros), the estimated total cost of the contract reaches approximately 111.6 million euros.

This acquisition will take place in three phases, with the current authorization covering the first phase (2023–2026) up to 90 million euros. The details of the subsequent phases will be refined during the implementation of the first phase.

The direct impact of this agreement on employment for Patria Aviation Oy is expected in 600 people-year from 2023 to 2031, with lasting effects extending until the 2040s. As Patria is a national company, all work will be carried out in Finland, boosting the local economy.

The acquisition is fundamental in the construction and maintenance of the maintenance and service capacity of the domestic system of the F-35, crucial for the military security of Finland. It ensures the management of knowledge and technology at the national level, increasing the reliability of the maintenance of the F-35 system in normal and exceptional conditions, thus promoting its operational independence.

This service agreement is part of a broader industrial cooperation agreement involving the Ministry of Defense, Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney. Under this agreement, companies must comply with their industrial cooperation obligations within ten years.

The main focus of the industrial cooperation of the F-35 project is the creation of independent and significant maintenance capabilities in Finland, thus increasing the security of the country's supply and contributing significantly to the national economy.

“The services purchased will allow Finland to establish a robust service and maintenance capacity for the F-35 system, crucial for its military security. In addition, the infrastructure and experience resulting from this agreement with Patria will establish an F-35 competence center in Finland, strengthening our position within the F-35 user community," said Brigadier-General Engineer Juha-Matti Ylitalo, Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Finnish Defense Forces.

This initiative is essential to meet the requirements of industrial cooperation and security of supply of the HX fighter project, where industrial cooperation was mandatory at least 30% of the purchase price.

と、いう事で…

Effects Bakeryの Sandwich Fuzz、Cream Pan Boosterを足元に組み入れました。ついでにパッチケーブルの作り直しやケーブル類の取り回しの見直しを行いました。

まだ、家で音だししているだけですが…アップデートで良い感じになったHX-STOMPも含め中々楽しめる感じになりました。

検証してみて、Cream Pan BoosterはやっぱりX社のE●ブースターオマージュであると確信いたしました。HXに入ってるE●ブースターのシミュレートと比べると…小さい音で弾いてる分には聞き分け出来ないくらい似てましたｗ　本物も欲しいけど、しばらくは我慢できます（＾＾；

Sandwich Fuzzは、ローゲインな設定でもミドルに存在感があるおかげで、OD系で軽くプッシュするとリードを気持ちよく弾けるトーンになります。ディレイ、リバーブを掛けると、”ローゲインなマフの美しさ”を感じられるギルモア先生のような音にも出来ました。ブースターの方は中古だったので、２つ合わせて約6,000円…いや～、この金額でこの音なら、文句のつけようがないですｗ　ローゲイン、ハイゲインなディストーションはHT-DUALでまかなえるし、ブースともアナログに出来たし、マフ系のゴツイのもいけるし（これは組みなおす前からいけましたけど）、自分的には使用頻度の少ないOD系をどうしようかとは思いますが、ボード内の敷地の問題もあるし、しばらくはこれで、って感じに出来ました。色々��所で色々な人が仰ってますが、Effects Bakery、まじめにお勧めです。

※7月5日追記

クリームパンブースターと、HX-STOMP内のEP擬きですが、でっかい音でも自分には違いがよく分からなかったです…なのでクリームパン君は、近日中に別の何かと入れ替えです。

My job treats me like shit- overworking me, assuming the worst of everything I do and say (they have a Hx of being ableist to those they supervise), telling me to give them the benefit of the doubt when they, the ones in power, have never done that.

Outside of work I have everything to live for- I have an amazing family, fabulous friends and I am getting a handle on myself as a human being.

But as soon as I clock in and I have to deal with them in any way that makes my job harder all I can think about is all of the ways I could and should keel myself. I hate it. Their behaviour affects me on and off the clock. I’ve been out under stress for long enough to have to take time off because of the physical side effects of that stress such as not being able to stop vomiting (that was a SUPER fun day)

I am not wanted there, people who have the power over my career do not like me and I feel like I am stuck swallowing abuse with a smile because if I don’t I may never get another job within this facility.

I have been trying to get another job for over a year, I’ve revamped my resume, watched the videos with tips and tricks to a stronger interview.

I feel so hopeless

I feel so alone when I am at work

Especially since my work bestie has been out for months due to the stress of the job and the treatment from our supervisors

I don’t want to be here

I dont have a choice but to stay

I wish I could evaporate

[roll-for-headmate]

hiiii! love your blog theme ♡ could i possibly get 2 headmates? for headmate #1, a masc/neu hobgoblin artificer (armorer subclass) who hoards xenogenders. for headmate #2, either a cleric or paladin (up to you, any subclass except oathbreaker), who would function as an assidumate or assistant of sorts? if you're not up to making two at this moment, i'd prefer importance be placed on #2. ty in advance!
