sy's fun list of petty spite things for the most irrelevant shit in the world ever

i love being a picky hater and tuning things to meet my tastes a 100%. also making lists is fun

1) one of the first ever instances of me being picky as shit, is me individually handpicking textures from ~10 minecraft packs to merge them into my own custom one. this was so i'd like ALL textures and not be bothered by the majority of birch textures

I Would Be Nothing Without My Birch

2) another minecraft example is me at age 13 modifying and adding about 600+ skins to personalise my minecraft comes alive mod. because i LOATHED seeing the same skin for every guard in every village i'd encounter time and time again

3) reinstalling my entire sims 3 folder every few years or so, to once again have a hopeless attempt at running it smoothly. then realising the sims 3 camera just fucking sucks and everything else is mostly fine once optimised through bazillions of config edits and mods. also spending 4329320934820 years on sims resource and scouring tumblr blogs to find the most nichest and funniest types of custom content, resulting in 5gb of merged content. because merging packages is your best friend.

4) following an extremely particular naming + sorting structure for my folders, files, art wips, and so on and so forth. so it's all Cohesive And Good. if i catch myself misusing ONE single symbol or capital letter I Will Scream. downloads are never to be grouped by date. old-fashioned alphabet sorting my beloved

5) as a continuation to refine 4 further, currently i'm editing custom .ico files for my folders, because for some reason picked thumbnails from files-within-the-folder never stick. fuck you windows 10. I Will Circumvent Your Shitty Ways By Being Extremely Petty And Going Through Efforts Like These To Make Everything Cohesive And Nice For Myself. I Work On Visuals, Baby!

look at this. This Fucks

6) in this house we sort by 'the' and 'a' and similar title prefixes. no, i don't care i'll have a million names starting with 'the', IT STARTS WITH 'THE' SO IT'S INCLUDED FOR SORTING. one of the biggest reasons i hate the steam library sorting, because for some reason 'the' & whatever's included in the screenshot page. this makes 0 sense to me.

7) currently i'm also reigniting my love for character design and I WILL design these .png beasts as i and only i desire and not cater to whatever furries are popular right now. fuck the 'less is more' shit I'M SLAPPING PATTERNS ON THESE BEASTS

8) switched to android, because the biggest dealbreaker (besides iOS being shit generally) was the fact that iOS made song album art 1px by 1px on the home screen & that utterly devastated me. HOW ELSE AM I TO LOOK AT GOOD ART AND SEE WHAT SONG I'M LISTENING TO

This Should Be Illegal + I Only Stayed With The Brand Because I Was Already Used To It + Lame

9) I WILL revert your shitty border-radius images back to square. we LOVE EM POINTY, BOYS

10) changed default samsung keyboard to gboard, because the location of special symbols on the former annoyed the Shit Out Of Me. It Is So Unnaturelle. also gboard comes in cool colours that are unobtrusive enough to use

My Beloved Gradient

11) i will kill off whatever lore is canon if i make an oc based on some franchise. i will put a new jacket on them and suck them by vacuum into my own ocverse. because fuck them mafia hunting some 10-yo's electric mouse for sport

12) in 99.9% of cases ips, fics, whatever exists, always has something that irks me. i will crack my own knuckles and bend the ip so bad in my own files for my own entertainment

13) when a (prime) warframe's default skin is so god fucking awful to look at, 'cause of all the normal tex lines, I WILL put on a skin that's easier on the eyes. because fuck them details. fuck details in general btw i hate 4328943032 ornaments accessories etc

14) i will go out of my way where possible & fitting, to mod in an armour mod so my game protagonist can always be Cool & Unperceivable. because fuck them humans in fictional settings. fuck them relatable moments. i refuse to be a woman in monster hunter unless i can wear male armour without the need to show off my tits or anime-esque face. thanks

15) i will forever be a :P and :D and :] girlie. i Refuse to use emojis Unironically in 90% of cases. the remaining 10% of cases is using 😊 to convey gratitude to a boomer through text messages so i can be understood better. i'd rather unironically use the horrific lenny ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) than stoop as low as 🥺

16) i used to type 'you' as 'u' circa 2016 and something inside me viscerally dies, whenever i witness another using it. especially in a serious convo context or they do pull some confession or whatever. in this case it's none of my biz tho so who care

17) shit like the fibonacci sequence can sound fancy and like some delicious pasta, but i will refuse to use it. ever. you'll catch me dead before i'll utilise the golden ratio in stuff like artworks to ''make a cooler composition'' or whatever other bullshit effect it theoretically emits. you'll catch me dead calling an important game location a weenie, just because that's somehow a term introduced in fun park design & it was used to link to game design. a fucking WEENIE. fucking wieners.

STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU SINNER

18) anyone who made a significant change in their lives, without being educated on it or prep as much as possible, eg. getting a shit-breather of a persian cat, immediately gets -100 relationship and -100 morality points with me but i'll never ever mention this. fuck you and your untaught swine ass prioritising cutesy bullshit above health

19) besides common courtesy 'n all that, a huge deal breaker for any housemate, is eating microwaved ready meal pasta. especially if it's got cheese in it. that shit reeks worse than whatever i shit out during my period, and it goes as far as the bahamas. use microwaved rice instead god fucking damn. EVEN SEAFOOD IS BETTER

20) i will Absolutely Not stand on a damp bathroom mat that was made damp by someone else. that shit is Disgusting. same goes for warm toilet seats besides the stank, after someone took a wicked shit. I Need To Wait At Least 15 Minutes To Ensure Stank Gone.

21) i always liked seeing the offspring of my flight rising but despised clicking through 84920328032 names in offspring lists. my solution? like most in the excel sheet fandom, i made a personal database that lists visuals of every. single. dragon. i've hatched. as well as another database that keeps track of lineages in a visual family tree. these things are several years old and still going and I Am Unironically Actually Obsessed With This

22) using surtitles (above text) to caption media is a Sin. i will break into your house and exterminate your ass. subtitles are Neatest below the media, in the Center. As It Should Be For Bottoms. i also despise subtitles moved below the character that says it, but this can stay as it's easier for the deaf and whatever. either way I Will Break Your Media by moving the subs or completely turning them off. Fuck You.

23) uneven numbers are far more superior than even numbers and it's a Great Bonus point when lists end on uneven numbers. hell yeah brother. bye

Clean Reinstall for Baldur's Gate 3

[Originally posted on r/baldursgate3.]

Every time the game updates with a new patch, you MUST clean your game out of all mods. If you've already installed the patch without cleaning the game, you will need to do a clean reinstall. Follow the steps below to do so.

Go to your Documents\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods. Delete everything in this folder. (Alternatively, if you do not have backups of your mods, simply move them into a different folder outside of the Baldur's Gate folder.)

Go to Documents\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles. Whichever profiles you have had, you will need to restore the original version of modsettings.lsx. You should do this for every profile to be safe. You should always keep a clean backup of this file when modding, but if you don't have one, go into the existing modsettings.lsx, CTRL + A, and replace it with the text in the following link, then save. If you have a backup generated by Candor, it may be titled modsettings.lsx.backup. Link for clean modsettings.lsx text: https://pastebin.com/kcLeDKjx

Go to (Drive):\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data, and look for a \Generated folder. This is usually added by a mod that changes textures (such as alternate appearances, tattoo mods etc). If there's a Generated folder, delete it. You will need to reinstall any texture mods after the update. (Note: I'm not actually 100% sure if this will cause issues if not deleted prior to updating, but better safe than sorry.)

Go to (Drive):\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin. Look for a file named DWrite.dll. If this file is in the folder, delete it. This is from Norbyte's Script Extender, and will crash your game on launch until it is updated for Patch 6. You may also want to delete ScriptExtenderSettings.json and ScriptExtenderUpdaterConfig.json.

Double check that you have removed anything mod-related from your game's install location. I don't know of any mods that would hide elsewhere in the install folder, but I also don't use every mod in existence, so do your own due diligence in this regard. Any mod you've installed needs to be removed from both the Baldur's Gate install folder and the Documents folder.

Finally, update your game to Patch 6. If you already updated without cleaning your game, you will need to uninstall the game and reinstall it again. Verifying your files, in my experience, is not good enough to fix the weird bugs/errors that come up if you updated with mods installed.

Once the game is updated and/or reinstalled, launch the game vanilla with no mods installed. Ensure that everything works as intended. You will not be able to continue an old save, so start a new game and just make sure you're not seeing weird glitches. I would check both the CC screen (textures, tattoos especially) and also load in the game to ensure you can jump, attack, and use any spells you may have modified previously. If those spells are not available to a level 1 character, use Cheat Engine and the most recent cheat table to add the spell in question to your character for testing purposes. Test any and all spells, actions, etc that may have been previously modded.

If you are still encountering weird behavior as of step 7, you missed something. Go back and redo steps 1-6, then retest again.

If everything works as expected, congrats! Your game should be clean now, and you can go about adding the mods you like. Keep in mind that some are not yet updated to Patch 6. Make sure you're grabbing the updated versions of any mods you use, and be aware that using an outdated mod may result in unexpected behavior, bugs, or glitches. Use at your own risk.

Im going to need u to explain to me what u said in the tags of the modding post in Simpleton words cause I'm. A fucking idiot when it comes to computer shit and the arm wrestling in TW2 is genuinely the most stressful thing ive ever had to endure in a video game

Also i forgot to mention this in my last ask abt being an idiot— i love u! You're rly cool. That's all ^`^

aw! ilu too anon.

ok first of all: if the arm wrestling is the only thing about w2 that you want to fix you don’t have to fuck about with any of the unpacking nonsense! you do have to be playing on PC. I’m using this mod to always win dice poker/arm wrestling. steps as follow:

download whichever version you want (always win only arm wrestling, always win only dice poker, always win both). the file is a zip folder and you can put it wherever you want.

extract the contents of the zip, also to wherever you want. inside is a README.txt and a file called base_scripts.dzip. you can ignore the readme, it’s just the description of the mod from the nexus site in a text file.

find your witcher 2 folder. if you’re playing on Steam, you’re looking for something like C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\the witcher 2\CookedPC. if you’re not sure, here’s how to view your Steam installation path. if you’re on GOG it’s usually C:\GOG Games\The Witcher 2\CookedPC. if not, you can find the installation path in the GOG launcher by clicking Witcher 2, then the settings button to the right of the center top bar, then “Manage Installation > Show folder”.

there should be a base_scripts.dzip already in the CookedPC folder—copy it somewhere else for backup or rename it to something like base_scripts_original.dzip

go back to your downloaded mod folder and drag and drop the mod’s base_scripts.dzip into the Witcher 2 CookedPC folder. if it asks if you want to replace the existing base_scripts.dzip say yes (but make sure to have backed up or renamed the original first!)

ta-da! load up W2 and go dunk on some arm wrestlers.

if you want to fix a BUNCH of things about W2 it’s a little harder.

base_scripts.dzip is basically a special kind of zip folder with a bunch of smaller script files zipped into it. so for instance, the arm wrestling mod changes only the minigame scripts, while Conversation Skills Always Succeed changes only the scene_function script. technically, those don’t conflict, except the changed files have been packed up into two different base_scripts.dzip, and you can only have one base_scripts.dzip.

some mods don’t mess with base_scripts.dzip at all. True Encumbrance Remover (sets all item weights to 0 because inventory management sucks) is another one you can just drag and drop right into CookedPC, not even any file replacement required. the way to check if you’re going to need to do some fuckery for nexus mods is on the Files tab; click “Preview file contents” and if you see a base_script.dzip in there, it’ll require some fiddling if you want to use it with other base_script.dzip mods. how to do the fiddling:

you will need:

Gibbed RED Tools

probably a copy of W2 on GOG because Steam’s a little bitch about DRM. if you have it on Steam you can redeem a free GOG copy of W2 here using the CD key you find in the Steam launcher here:

you can try doing this modding process with Steam files, but it’s entirely possible that it’ll throw errors for you talking about file access, and if so... switch to GOG and install Witcher 2 again. i know it’s a pain to have multiple launchers but if you’re willing to fuck around this much with mods it’s not THAT much of a pain.

ok! step 1: getting into base_scripts.dzip with Gibbed RED tools

download Gibbed RED Tools and extract the contents. you can put the resulting unzipped folder wherever you like, just make sure you know where.

open up the windows command prompt—open the start menu, type in “cmd”, right click the program that comes up, and hit “run as administrator”. SCARY BLACK PROGRAMMING BOX. it’s ok all we have to do is type some stuff in! hit enter after every command and be sure to include all the spaces and quotation marks.

hit enter! ok now we’re inside the Gibbed RED Tools folder. we want to tell it where the original base_scripts.dzip is, and what folder it should unpack that file into. create a new folder somewhere for the unpacked files to live and then type in the next command!

first command moves us from the default folder into the folder that contains our Gibbed RED tools. the command structure is:

cd "path to Gibbed RED tools"

so for instance:

cd "C:\Users\laurelnose\Downloads\Gibbed RED Tools"

it should unfurl a whole long list of file names! you can navigate to the folder you told it to unpack to and see all of the little script files that make up base_scripts.dzip. now we’re cooking.

the command structure is:

Gibbed.RED.Unpack.exe "location of base_scripts.dzip" "place to unzip file to"

so for example:

Gibbed.RED.Unpack.exe "C:\GOG Games\The Witcher 2\CookedPC\base_scripts.dzip" "C:\Users\laurelnose\UnpackedBaseScript"

go back to nexus mods and pick out all the base_scripts.dzip mods you want. say, Conversation Skills and Dice Poker/Arm Wrestling. or even more than that, as many as you want! repeat these steps for EACH MOD INDIVIDUALLY:

find out which files they modified. Conversation Skills is nice because they say right in their description that they modified game\scenes\scene_functions.ws . other modders, it’s a little tougher; Poker/Wrestling doesn’t say, so i had to poke around in the “posts” tab until i found a user saying that it modified game\minigames\dicepoker.ws and game\minigames\wristwrestling.ws

download the mod, and extract the contents into a folder. create a new folder wherever you’d like—name it whatever, but you’re going to be making one for each mod so to keep them straight something like ModNameUnpacked might be best.

go back to command line. if you closed it before, repeat the cd command to get back into the Gibbed RED Tools folder, otherwise you can just use the unpacking command again to unzip the mod’s base_scripts.dzip into your ModNameUnpacked folder.

open up the unpacked folder and navigate through the folder structure until you find the file they said they modified. so for Conversation Skills, find scene_functions.ws in the game\scenes folder.

for instance:

Gibbed.RED.Unpack.exe "C:\Users\laurelnose\Downloads\ConversationMod\base_scripts.dzip" "C:\Users\laurelnose\Downloads\ConversationModUnpacked"

pull up your unzipped original base_scripts.dzip from the previous section. move the modified file from the mod folder into the same place in the original base_scripts.dzip folder. so scene_functions.ws goes in game\scenes in your original base_scripts.dzip folder. let it replace/overwrite the original scene_functions.ws.

repeat this for each mod individually. if you’re doing a lot of mods you’re going to end up with a lot of folders! we can delete them later. if by some unfortunate chance you want two mods that modify the same .ws file you’d have to actually figure out which lines each one modified and rewrite your original .ws file to include both, so... idk don’t get yourself into this situation lmao

ok, now that you’ve pulled out the modified scripts from each mod you wanted and put them into your unpacked original base_scripts folder, it is time to pack that sucker up into a regular .dzip again!

back into command line. again if you closed it before, use the cd command to get back to your Gibbed RED Tools folder, otherwise the new command we’re using is:

Gibbed.RED.Pack.exe "location to put the packed folder\base_scripts.dzip" "location of files to pack up"

this time it won’t put out a whole list of files, because it didn’t pull out any files, it packed them up all neatly. check the location you told it to put base_scripts.dzip and if it’s there you’re golden!

so for example:

Gibbed.RED.Pack.exe "C:\Users\laurelnose\base_scripts.dzip" "C:\Users\laurelnose\UnpackedBaseScript"

pull up your Witcher 2 CookedPC folder—if you haven’t already backed up or renamed your original base_scripts.dzip, do that—and move your newly-created base_scripts.dzip full of all your lovely mods into the CookedPC folder!

you can now delete all of the ModNameUnpacked folders you created. if you need to start over, just delete the modded base_scripts.dzip and either move your backup into the CookedPC folder or change the name of the original back to base_scripts.dzip and that should undo all of your changes. worst case scenario you have to uninstall and reinstall, but that shouldn’t happen if you backed up your base_scripts.dzip!

#hopefully this makes sense!#these games are a pain in the ass to mod it rly makes me nostalgic for like... minecraft #also unfortunately i do not think GOG has achievements for W2 #i think this is a small price to pay in exchange for having fun playing the game but ymmv #asks #anonymous

Jade’s SSO Rambles - 2 Quality of Life (UI Elements)

(Please keep in mind that these are my thoughts and opinions at the time of writing these rambles. I may change my mind in the future.)

By quality of life I’m basically going into small aspects about the game that while certainly not necessary to acknowledge or fix are those little things that really help the overall feel of a game in the background. It’s the difference between having to click between 5 different menus vs 1 or 2 clicks to get to what you want. Yes it’s not necessary to tweak but players/users will often unconsciously greatly appreciate it. Also this may come up again later as I usually have a lot of thoughts regarding UI and HUD. (UI means User Interface and HUD means Heads Up Display. I use them semi interchangeably but HUD is more like your map, exp bar, status ect whereas UI would be more like the chat window or your inventory where you “interact” with it.)

Also if the SSO devs read this and care about me, please please please remove area and global chat notifications. I would love you forever if you did.

Okay now on with the insanely long rambles!

What SSO Has Done Well:

I think the updated store UI was a very long overdue update and I can’t wait for the rest of the stores in the game to get this refresh. I’m glad that the camera has been freed to move around the horse and that we have an option to turn on and off magical mode for our Jorvik Wilds. Using the 3D models instead of icons has been a blessing and makes shopping so much better as I’m not guessing what the object looks like or forgetting where it’s at in the store. I also am glad that we have filter options to select items based on what they are (tops, saddles, accessories ect) or based on colors and so on. The only thing I’d like to see updated is the color/style of the background to match the global store but I’m sure it’ll come in time.

The global store is another feature I greatly applaud and I think was a must for this game. While not everything is available in it I think it really helps even just with planning and testing outfits or tack sets let alone saving time and effort on shopping. I also love being able to look up the price of an item in game and figuring out where it’s located without having to go into my browser or hunt around in game. Overall I think the way the global store is setup is great, I adore all the filters, the ability to manage both my horse and my character’s outfit and see the stats even. I also like that a tutorial is available just in case but isn’t in your face either.

Adding 3D inventory models was again one of the best things the team has done for UI. I can’t stress enough how much better it is for finding what you need or looking for the right color items. It makes organization and finding objects so much better and probably the only thing I would like more is if they were slightly bigger. I also appreciate when items are zoomed into (especially earrings) as it helps make them easier to see and know which one you’re looking at. Personally I also like the updates to backgrounds of items and I can’t wait to see everything else updated from the black jarring background to a more color coordinated one. (My only worry is for people with color blindness though.)

Updating the race UI/HUD, namely in adding buttons that allow you to restart and exit the race. (I began playing the game before this update and was ecstatic to see it implemented.)

Removing the bar on the magical horse changes but leaving sparkles to still give the player a heads up of the change.

Having a bar on the swimming (so the player knows how long they can be in the water and when they are in deep enough water to be teleported out.)

I personally love the newer UI/HUD graphics in general and I feel it looks far more professional and sleek without taking away from the game’s feel and branding. Especially speaking of the updates to the race UI, boards and such. I hope to see the darker blues carried over into the rest of the game’s UI and HUD. I also really love the way the wooden boards look now (especially the western games one) and I hope to see that implemented in things such as stable chores boards.

The quest log update was badly needed and I like the new organization on it. Overall it is a small thing but I think for people still running main quests it’ll help a lot.

Suggestions for Improvement:

Please make everything able to be exited out of by hitting the “Esc” key. Prime examples of where this is missing is namely with the race boards to initiate a high score race, the druid lessons/missions board and the new western games board. (Can’t check the board at the rescue ranch but that might be one too.) While not necessarily UI I also want to mention that things such as dancing (like the disco) or sitting down (like at the cafe) would also be nice to exit via “Esc.”

I think area notifications should either be removed entirely (since we have the compass to update us) or turned off by default (especially since there are several bugs with them turning on despite the muting feature being active.) If they are left on by default then the game should be updated to remember the player’s settings. I personally don’t like to have to turn on the mute setting every time I log in and would love it if the game simply kept my settings saved client side so the only time it refreshes it is on a full reinstall. If none of these are a viable option then at the very least the area notifications should be moved to the top of the screen. They update far too frequently and become rather frustrating especially when either taking screenshots or recording. (Just moving around the circus in Nilmers is a prime example of the area notifications being way too easily triggered.)

Entering and exiting global chat notification should be removed entirely. Personally I don’t understand why it’s only active in certain areas (unless this is something on the back end that makes the game run better then yes that makes a lot of sense.) However if it must stay within only towns/stables then I think the notification is unnecessary. The player should get some kind of mini tutorial at the start of the game explaining how the chat system works. After that then most people old enough to chat will be able to figure it out on their own or use the “say” chat to ask for help. People who already know how to use global will be aware it only functions in towns.

Lower the loading bars and announcements or other notifications not placed in the upper right corner to the bottom of the screen. (Alternatively they could be moved up to the top of the screen.) For example the “Swimming” bar can be moved so it’s across the bottom of the screen instead of the middle and place the warning that it’s too deep in the same spot. Other examples are with the “Ferry Leaving the Quay” and when characters talk in quests outside of dialogue boxes such as cooking instructions. I would also move the druid commands during training like the change lanes as well. In general I would keep any brief info out of the center of the screen as that blocks the player’s view of their character/horse and what they are interacting with.

Add in a way to view your best time on appropriate races. (This is likely a lot of extra work since it only applies to ones you can run multiple times but I would love to know what my previous best time was while running said race.)

Remove the popup for all archaeology digging that causes you to pause and close out of it. Preferably replace it with the standard floating UI you get from races and items flying into your inventory. (I’ll go into this more on the archaeology ramble.)

Combine beating your personal best pop-up with the update on current time and current best time. When you beat your best time it should show 3 times instead of 2, your time on the race you just ran, your new personal best and your previous personal best. I would suggest making the “Congrats” text more noticeable to help avoid causing players interested in seeing these stats to skip it. There is plenty of room in the massive popup we currently have to be able to fit all these aspects and I feel trimming excess popups helps with general quality of life.

Remove the loading bar on most actions and either make them immediately completed or just let animations play. Most things I don’t think really need to have the animations play for so long as well. Prime example would be horse care and stable chores, you don’t need a “grooming loading bar” for example, just play the animation of the player grooming the horse or mucking the stable. The bar I feel just makes it feel less immersive (for as immersive as you can get with mucking) and also makes it feel more like a chore and something you have to wait out. Some things also just feel better being instantaneous like when you refill water or hay with daily chores. (Would love if refilling my buckets was instant too.)

Western games board improvements (I will also bring this up in my discussion about Starshine Ranch and go into some extra detail there.) Please make it so when the board is activated that the horse the player is riding will stop. I’ve found when I come out of the arena after running a race that my horse continues galloping past the board, often into the tables across the way as I’m used to the boards pausing my horse’s movement. As mentioned earlier I also think it should be able to be exited via the “Esc” key.

I don’t think I really need to mention all of the stores that need to be fixed but I do have a few specific details I’d like to list. I really hope the mall gets an update to function more like the newer stores or the global store where I can tilt the camera around my horse and rider. Speaking of the global store I would personally like to see the player/horse preview area increased in size and possibly adjust the lighting so it’s a little better on the opposite side of the horse from the player model. I would also like a way for indoor pet stores to have a means of viewing the pet with your horse. Otherwise I would simply just make it so they aren’t indoors at all. Lastly Farah seems to have a weird bug with the placement of the camera and I dearly hope that her new store is updated as it’s very hard to actually look at my horse and apparel. (Might submit a report on that.)

When you complete caring for your horse it should only pop up in the notification area in the corner. I think the extra popup across the top is pointless.

Small idea for the quest log, I would love to see daily quests (and possibly races and chores) separated per general area. So for example maybe something like Silverglade (Moorland/Fort Pinta/Silverglade/Manor/Valedale/Firgrove,) South Hoof, Harvest Countries (Jarlahiem and such,) Epona, Mistfall, Goldenhills, Dino Valley and so on as new areas are eventually added. Possibly even break central Silverglade down further. Basically this would be nicer for end game users to be able to see what areas have the most quests available that day and is certainly not something I would prioritize.

Other Notes:

With removing the “Okay” button that pauses you before starting a race I was initially on the fence about it. On one hand I think removing it helps when you’re doing a quick run of races because it means less time to get into the race. On the other hand, however I am also one of those people who uses it to pause the game. I think if I were on the team I would end up removing it as it feels pointless, there’s no reason to make the player pause as they already confirmed they want to do the race by selecting it.

I will be going into more depth regarding Starshine Ranch in another post but I did want to add a few of my immediate notes on the UI for the western games/races. Overall I love the board (besides my suggestions earlier) and I really like how you can line up several races via checking the boxes. (And I hope this means we get other barrel/pole/ect setups too later as well as group/friend races.) My main concerns are with how the UI before and after the races is handled. I think the line showing you the path is a great idea but I also feel it grows very tiring to have it before every race. I would think maybe having it as an option in the board menu would be better. Something that works as a “preview” of the race you’re interested in rather than every time you’re about to run it. I think maybe having Josh do a mini intro quest into western games would be a better means of showing players the layout of the course for the first time than having the line show up each time you run the race and can avoid having to code a way for it to only show up the first time a player interacts with the board. I think the number of popups could also be reduced much like the new best time on races. The same info is displayed on both screens (who wins is denoted by a medal instead of text) and therefore the first screen is sorta pointless. I also feel that the reward screen should only show up when you actually are rewarded money/exp and when repeating the races without a reward it shouldn’t show up.

Also, honestly if the team ever wanted someone to go through and find all of the places for suggested adjustments on small things such as removing loading bars on animation I would be happy to do so in my spare time. I care quite a bit about this horse game to probably a ridiculous point but I want to see it succeed even when it comes down to the little things like quality of life updates.

Anyone is free to add their thoughts via reblogs or replies, I’d love to hear what others have in mind regarding my rambles or what they think the game does well or can improve at. I’m also open to asks about my thoughts as well.

I’d like to also mention that I certainly don’t think I know better than the team, these are simply my personal observations on how I think the game could improve. I hope that they can help stir up discussions within both the SSO community and maybe even with the team on how to make the game even better. I want to help promote healthy and constructive critiquing and free shared thoughts in the fandom/community. Please try to keep any additions free of ranting/putting down the game or the team that works on it.

Thank you for reading my extremely long rambling thoughts!

Mac Os X Server Download

Mac Os X Server Iso

Mac Os X Lion Server Download

Apple Mac Os X Download

Download Mac Os X Free

Mac Os X Installer Download

So, you’ve decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. There are many reasons that could point you to this radical decision. To begin with, some of your apps may not be working properly (or simply crash) on newer operating systems. Also, you may have noticed your Mac’s performance went down right after the last update. Finally, if you want to run a parallel copy of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, you too will need a working installation file of an older Mac OS X. Further down we’ll explain where to get one and what problems you may face down the road.

A list of all Mac OS X versions

Download Free Mac Apps and Mac Games for Apple Mac. Designed for OS X and iOS devices, OS X Server makes it easy to share files, schedule meetings, synchronize.

The latest version of OS X Server is unknown on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for Automation in the System Tools category. The app is developed by Apple Inc. And its user rating is 4.7 out of 5.

Apple's macOS Server (formerly called OS X Server) is specially designed for macOS and iOS powered hardware devices to easily configure iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac devices, share files, sync contacts, schedule meetings, publish wikis, develop software, remotely access network, host own website and many more things in easy way. MacOS Server is the software application available for macOS.

We’ll be repeatedly referring to these Apple OS versions below, so it’s good to know the basic macOS timeline.

Cheetah 10.0Puma 10.1Jaguar 10.2Panther 10.3Tiger 10.4Leopard 10.5Snow Leopard 10.6Lion 10.7Mountain Lion 10.8Mavericks 10.9Yosemite 10.10El Capitan 10.11Sierra 10.12High Sierra 10.13Mojave 10.14Catalina 10.15

STEP 1. Prepare your Mac for installation

Given your Mac isn’t new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. One more argument is that the free space on your disk translates into virtual memory so your apps have “fuel” to operate on. The chart below tells you how much free space is needed.

Note, that it is recommended that you install OS on a clean drive. Next, you will need enough disk space available, for example, to create Recovery Partition. Here are some ideas to free up space on your drive:

Uninstall large unused apps

Empty Trash Bin and Downloads

Locate the biggest files on your computer:

Go to Finder > All My Files > Arrange by size Then you can move your space hoggers onto an external drive or a cloud storage. If you aren’t comfortable with cleaning the Mac manually, there are some nice automatic “room cleaners”. Our favorite is CleanMyMac as it’s most simple to use of all. It deletes system junk, old broken apps, and the rest of hidden junk on your drive.

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.4 - 10.8 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.9 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.10 - 10.14 (free version)

STEP 2. Get a copy of Mac OS X download

Mac Os X Server Iso

Normally, it is assumed that updating OS is a one-way road. That’s why going back to a past Apple OS version is problematic. The main challenge is to download the OS installation file itself, because your Mac may already be running a newer version. If you succeed in downloading the OS installation, your next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD and then reinstall the OS on your computer.

How to download older Mac OS X versions via the App Store

If you once had purchased an old version of Mac OS X from the App Store, open it and go to the Purchased tab. There you’ll find all the installers you can download. However, it doesn’t always work that way. The purchased section lists only those operating systems that you had downloaded in the past. But here is the path to check it:

Click the App Store icon.

Click Purchases in the top menu.

Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.

Click Download.

This method allows you to download Mavericks and Yosemite by logging with your Apple ID — only if you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store.

Without App Store: Download Mac OS version as Apple Developer

If you are signed with an Apple Developer account, you can get access to products that are no longer listed on the App Store. If you desperately need a lower OS X version build, consider creating a new Developer account among other options. The membership cost is $99/year and provides a bunch of perks unavailable to ordinary users.

Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you visit developer.apple.com/downloads, you can only find 10.3-10.6 OS X operating systems there. Newer versions are not available because starting Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.7, the App Store has become the only source of updating Apple OS versions.

Purchase an older version of Mac operating system

You can purchase a boxed or email version of past Mac OS X directly from Apple. Both will cost you around $20. For the reason of being rather antiquated, Snow Leopard and earlier Apple versions can only be installed from DVD.

Buy a boxed edition of Snow Leopard 10.6 Get an email copy of Lion 10.7 Get an email copy of Mountain Lion 10.8

The email edition comes with a special download code you can use for the Mac App Store. Note, that to install the Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac needs to be running Snow Leopard so you can install the newer OS on top of it.

How to get macOS El Capitan download

If you are wondering if you can run El Capitan on an older Mac, rejoice as it’s possible too. But before your Mac can run El Capitan it has to be updated to OS X 10.6.8. So, here are main steps you should take:

1. Install Snow Leopard from install DVD. 2. Update to 10.6.8 using Software Update. 3. Download El Capitan here.

“I can’t download an old version of Mac OS X”

If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don’t expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware drivers for your Mac.

But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac (or virtual machine) running that operating system. For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.

After you’ve completed the download, the installer should launch automatically, but you can click Cancel and copy the file you need. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it.

STEP 3. Install older OS X onto an external drive

The following method allows you to download Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks.

Start your Mac holding down Command + R.

Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).

Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.

Select external drive as a source.

Enter your Apple ID.

Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive. After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Now that the installation file is “captured” onto your external drive, you can reinstall the OS, this time running the file on your Mac.

Boot your Mac from your standard drive.

Connect the external drive.

Go to external drive > OS X Install Data.

Locate InstallESD.dmg disk image file — this is the file you need to reinstall Lion OS X. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

How to downgrade a Mac running later macOS versions

If your Mac runs macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, it is possible to revert it to the previous system if you are not satisfied with the experience. You can do it either with Time Machine or by creating a bootable USB or external drive. Instruction to downgrade from macOS Sierra

Instruction to downgrade from macOS High Sierra

Instruction to downgrade from macOS Mojave

Instruction to downgrade from macOS Catalina

Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact. In addition to that, it makes sense to clean up your Mac from old system junk files and application leftovers. The easiest way to do it is to run CleanMyMac X on your machine (download it for free here).

Visit your local Apple Store to download older OS X version

If none of the options to get older OS X worked, pay a visit to nearest local Apple Store. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. You can also ask their assistance to create a bootable USB drive with the installation file. So here you are. We hope this article has helped you to download an old version of Mac OS X. Below are a few more links you may find interesting.

Wiggles and wriggles and wounds, oh my!

Summary: Tony really wants to say fuck but he can’t in front of one insistently wiggly red spider boy.

Warnings: Blood and injuries.

Word Count: 1877

Notes: For @jalapenobarnes‘s writing challenge! I know I just signed up but I sort of just churned this out because it was fun to write and because I’m avoiding my two other fics heh. My prompt was “I’m trying to stop the bleeding!”, which just screamed Tony attempting to parent injured Peter.

🚫 Starkers don’t interact 🚫

“Will you PLEASE STOP THE WIGGLINGS.” Tony can’t curse because Peter is a child and he’s really trying to cut the habit for the press, but he so wants to say fuck right now. Like really, really wants to say fuck.

The cause of said desire is of course one grievously injured Peter Parker, who’s normally fluffy hair is slick with red and he wheezes with every breath. The wheezing is less concerning when it’s because Peter’s laughing at his own stupid jokes, coming out in a pour of words.

“B-but Mr. S-Stark,” he giggles, “I’m a SPIDER! We wiggle!” And to prove his point, he wiggles a little bit even though it makes him wince from all the gashes on his body.

Tony has been blessed with multiple kids in his life. But between Harvey, Morgan and Peter, he can finally feel his age catching up with him.

To combat the raging headache beginning to bud in the back of his head, Tony does a categorical assessment of the situation. Peter’s spider suit is torn to pieces pretty much. It’s not really salvageable so he’ll strip it for parts for the next suit. Friday and Karen do a scan and reveal some pretty heavy bruising and fractured bones but no internal bleeding or compound fractures (thank fuck). Peter’s weirdo heal factor is already plugging itself in so those will be gone in a day or two. Peter himself on the other hand refuses to stop talking or moving for even a minute and he’s babbling something about how spiders spin their webs and how they walk and how their legs bend. Who knows who spider’s legs bend?? Peter Parker that’s who.

“I am. Trying. To stop. The bleeding! So, if you’ll just be a good little spider and lie still for your flies or whatever you drain the goo out of, that’d be amazing. Fantastic. Absolutely wonderful.” Tony has never felt more grateful that he has an entire med kit packed into his suit as he’s spraying Neosporin on basically every inch of Peter’s body. If he could, he might be tempted to slam dunk the kid into a whole pool of the stuff. There is to be no infections on his watch. Not after the shit he experienced in Hong Kong a few months ago. That was absolutely horrible for a regular person, who’s to say what it’ll do to Peter who can’t take painkillers or antibiotics?

“Ewwww, goo? Goo’s gross. I mean I know spiders dissolve the guts of flies and other various small insects, and sometimes male spiders but like, what do you think it’s like to just slurp goo every day for food?” Peter makes a face, interrupted briefly by the sting that the spray brings. “But I guess it’s the buggy way since flies do it too. Hey Mr. Stark, did you know that flies secrete enzymes through their feet and they drink through their feet? Or that butterflies eat flesh? Did you know that?”

Deep breaths Stark.

“I did not but you know what, of everything I sure am glad you weren’t bitten by a butterfly. Or a fly. Or any other enzyme foot secreting insect.” It’s onto the wrapping even though the worst of the lacerations are already starting to look a little better. Tony whips out a sleeve of gauze and several rolls of bandages to begin wrapping around the more severe oozing cuts, mostly located on his arms and legs though there’s quite the nasty one on his chest. Peter snorts as he begins, fingers fumbling just a bit. He’s really not good at this. His forte is more like slapping on an Avengers band-aid on Morgan’s everyday scrapes, bumps and bruises. Pepper’s the real patcher-upper. She’s off in Thailand right now though, enjoying some mangoes and a very stubborn board of directors, insisting on cutting all funds to the avengers/S.H.I.E.L.D initiative.

“It’s not enzyme foot secretions! It’s an enzyme secreting foot!” Peter huffs. “And I mean yeah this spider stuff is pretty cool y’know especially for sneaking out and stuff like walking on walls is the bomb diggity but wouldn’t it be cool if I could fly?! Imagine that!!” That’s one arm down.

“First of all, spider boy, as long as you’re not secreting enzymes on the carpet it’s fine. You know how Pepper gets about her rugs.” Peter nods solemnly, apparently remembering the Jell-O goo incident on her nice Persian rug. “Secondly, have you been sneaking out? You know how I feel about you breaking curfew young man.” And it’s a pretty generous one in his mind, at the exact stroke of midnight. Hey if Cinderella gets that much then it’s good enough for his little pumpkins to roll home and go to sleep. Peter shrugs and suddenly has the urge to look at everything else, the smoldering buildings and piles of debris, instead of meeting Tony’s eyes. He’s even mumbling YMCA to keep from saying stupid things. Oh how they grow without his notice. He sighs, thinking he’ll have to update the protocol again. Or possibly reinstall it, given Peter’s previous compulsions to just uninstall the fucking programs. Having finished the other arm, he moves onto the quickly wrap up the bits and bangs on Peter’s legs. “Third, who says bomb diggity anymore? You’re way too young to even know that term.”

“What! No way Mr. Stark, some of my favorite stuff to say is like, bomb diggity and radical! It’s a renaissance of 90’s slang.” And there’s that big, toothy smile he gives when he’s trying to butter up and get himself out of trouble. Ha! Tony’s installed a Notepad of things Peter does that are bad protocol to make sure he and Pete have some talks about things like this. Sure his old man brain might get flooded with other stuff but ever faithful Friday will remind him of it later.

The last bit requires Peter to strip off the remnants of his suit, which is going to be a bit of a problem considering Peter has a case of the jelly limbs right now. As in he’s so exhausted and beat up that his body has effectively said nope! to any form of movement that isn’t wiggling in place and being pushed around gently. So it’s the old scissors trick (not a trick) and Tony just uses some super duper ultra sharp scissors to gently cut through the wires and fabric of Peter’s suit. Peter moans a small complaint (I liked this suit Mr. Stark) but Tony’s more worried about the still dribbling tear that crosses his chest.

Peter heals like there’s no tomorrow, something that Tony only wishes he could have sometimes. But still this one looks like it might scar, especially given the kid’s habit of picking at scars. But for now all he can really do is wrap it up and-

Boss. Friday’s soothing voice chimes up and as soothing as he’s made it out to be, after radio silence all this time Tony nearly shits himself. It appears that Mr. Parker will need stitches for this one.

Aw, fuck.

Well Tony is garbage with a needle and thread so there’s no way he’s going to be doing those stitches. In fact Peter is normally the one sewing so this poses a slight problem. He doesn’t want to move the kid, who’s mumbling now about 1950’s fashion (again, who knows about these things?? Peter). And forget ambulances since they take forever to do anything and that’s not really Tony’s style in the first place.

There’s a nearby clinic, about a quarter mile away boss. Ah Friday, ever so helpful lovely Friday.

A quarter mile isn’t that bad, he reasons to himself. Even he, with his emaciated lungs, can get that far without the suit so it should be a cinch to do it in the suit right? Even with a hundred sixty four (that’s 164) pound child in his arms.

Now the real question is how to get Peter there. He’s started to sing drinking songs (he’s not even old enough to drink yet why does he know these??) and is kind of waving his arms around. Well, it’s probably not because of blood loss because Karen, and by extension Friday, would’ve let him know. The easiest thing to do would just be to scoop up the lil spider and princess carry/fly him there and pass it off to a real professional. But a part of Tony really hesitates because what if that hurts him? He’s not really known to fly slow so what if the jet propulsion opens up new words or the turbulence in-flight causes him to shift shards of bone from his fractured humerus or what if! Peter decides to start dancing to his singing!

There’s a twinge behind his eyes and he groans, pressing the heel of his palm into them. Okay. So logically none of those things will happen. Peter’s a sturdy kid. But also, Tony’s not really well versed on all this stuff. He almost tells Friday to flip a coin, carry or fly him there, but his rational brain finally takes over. It kicks his parent panic to the corner and makes him scoop up Peter, delicately of course, and take a low flying (above tree tops because they’re not getting whacked on the way to the doctor) course to the clinic, where the nurse’s eyes nearly pop out of her head. She stammers her way through the paperwork process. Peter is seen immediately by an older physician, who simply collects him and brings him back without much fuss.

Which leaves Tony to deal with the flustered nurse who literally looks like she’s about to melt into a puddle on the floor. To be fair it is 3:47 AM so this is probably a little extreme for night-time injuries. Tony mindlessly scrawls information on the papers passed to him, wrinkling his nose at the insurance one.

Strictly speaking Peter isn’t part of his insurance. But Tony quickly dismisses that, telling Friday to make a note to add him to the policy. Easily done, considering this is Tony Stark they’re working with.

The physician comes back out and ushers Tony into a room where Peter has finally knocked out, snoring on the cot like he wasn’t just painting a random street corner iron red. Tony has the good sense to sit down and try to untense his shoulder as the physician goes through lists of care items and thing, prescribing antibiotics which Tony knows won’t work. He just listens anyways, thanking her for her care and services. She says that he can take him home but in a car, not flying across the city in a suit. Probably a good idea.

He gets Friday to call Happy who is obviously very not happy about being woken up at this god forsaken hour of the night. He still grumbles that he’ll be there in ten, twenty minutes and hangs up and Tony groans once more, that headache bursting into a full-blown migraine. And he doesn’t have any ibuprofen because he forgot to restock it.

Under his breath, in the weird yellow limelight of the fluorescent bulbs above, he finally mutters a vehement, “Fuck.”

Feral - Chapter Three

I’ve been quite sick lately and also been dealing with a very rambunctious kitten that doesn’t enjoy my aunt’s very annoying and untrained puppy.

Microsoft Word and my computer, in general, have also been giving me issues? I’ve reinstalled it so many times and it finally seems to have fixed the problem—at least I hope!

Sorry for the delay, here’s the new chapter.

»»———————————————- ♡ —————————————««  Feral: Chapter 3 // FF.net Rating: M << Previous Chapter // Next Chapter >>

All she wanted was an uneventful morning spent shopping. Some peace and quiet from the excitement that had found itself in her once serene home. Some wishful thinking that was.

Kagome didn’t even have the time to set foot into the brightly illuminated shopping center when the sliding automatic doors opened and a tall figure beelined for her general direction. Two other figures trailed closely behind trying to keep up with the enthusiastic man half-jogging towards her.

When he was close enough in view for her to distinguish his identity, she inwardly groaned. Great, just what she needed.

“Hey, Kagome, how ya been? Sorry I left without you on Friday, you were just so concentrated and I couldn’t get myself to disturb that pretty face of yours,” exclaimed the man sporting a baggy brown sweater and a pair of khaki shorts.

The two other men finally caught up with him, out of breath, panting loudly behind him.

“Kouga, sorry I made you wait so long for me, I really didn’t intend to stay that long, but I guess I did. I totally lost track of time,” she replied guiltily as she then turned to face the other people who had just joined in, “Good morning Ginta, Hakkaku.”

They grinned back as a reply to her greeting, not having anything to add themselves.

“It’s no biggie, anything for you my Kagome! Can I ask you a question though?” Kouga probed as he seemed to send a few sniffs in her direction.

What was with all these men and their smelling habits? She’d have enough of Inuyasha always smelling her, and now Kouga too? Her feral test subject, she could understand his desire to rely on his senses, but why of all things was her coworker acting oddly towards her too?

Kagome mentally shuddered at his unwanted attention. Not that Kouga was a bad guy or anything, she just wasn’t interested in pushy guys like him. Despite being somewhat of a creep, he was still a kind friend who looked out for her.

She nodded, encouraging him to ask his question to get their interaction over with as soon as possible.

“No offense or anything,” he proclaimed while raising his hands defensibly, “but why do you smell like a dog? Not that your fragrance is bad or anything, cause it can never be bad, it’s just kinda new, y’ know?”

Like a dog? What was Kouga going on about?

Wait—did he mean Inuyasha? He wasn’t a dog per se, although a lot of his behaviours resembled that of one. He was still human, for the exception of his ears, something she hadn’t figured out yet and would ask about to her best friend Sango in the biology department for advice in the upcoming week.

How in the heavens had he scented him on her? Did she really smell like a wet dog still? She’d showered that morning, so she really didn’t understand how he could have come to that conclusion. The declaration truly stumped her.

“I’m really not sure how you came up with that,” she laughed nervously in reply, eyes darting towards the floor, avoiding eye contact with him at all cost.

Kouga chuckled and grabbed a hold of her palm in one hand and her arm in the other.

“Well my princess, I’d better let you go since I have things to do at home. See you at work tomorrow morning,” he murmured for only her to hear as he pecked her on the back the hand.

Blood rushed to her face and left her cheeks a rosy tint as she quickly pulled back her arm to her side. Why did he always have to be so bold with her?

She giggled nervously not knowing how to respond to his advances, “See you on Monday.”

With that, the man dressed in brown left just as quickly as he appeared, waving her off in the distance as he left the mall accompanied by his two friends.

Kagome sighed in relief as he left her line of sight. She could finally accomplish what she’d come here to do.

Not only did she have enough going on at home, plus work, she didn’t need this additional stress when she was away from either location.

To top it all off, she had no clue how her test subject would react to being left at home alone for the first time. The professor had seen how he’d reacted to being left alone overnight.

Essentially, she’d try to make this visit to the store as short as she could.

»»———————————————- ♡ —————————————«« 

She took around two hours before she finished getting all the clothes and supplies she figured she’d need. Grocery shopping for the week’s meals and lunches was definitely on her list of things to do as Inuyasha had eaten her out of a household a few days prior.

She trekked back home, arms filled to the brim with shopping bags of various sizes and colours. Kagome had taken longer than expected to make it back home, but the traffic hadn’t been too bad.

When she finally saw her humble abode in sight, she practically ran to the front door, unlocking it, the familiar clicking noise of the mechanism greeting her. Good, Inuyasha hadn’t opened the front door on his own

But that’s not what freaked her out when she opened it. Dead silence awaited her.

Kagome knew from experience that silence was never a good sign when you either had kids, pets, or even feral children in your household.

Hurriedly, she dropped her multiple bags in the entrance, removed her shoes and peered over into the living room. Everything so far was in its rightful place, where it had been left. That alone was strange.

And there was Inuyasha, sleeping peacefully, his head resting on her laptop in the center the coffee table. His ears twitched periodically, assessing the sounds surrounding him.

Odd, it wasn’t like him to let his guard down around her. He always seemed somewhat skittish she pondered. Perhaps he felt more comfortable in her presence now? She wouldn't say no to that!

“Inuyasha, I’m home,” she muttered quietly, not wanting to surprise him or jolt him awake.

His golden eyes peeled opened as he stirred. Inuyasha yawned loudly as he extended both arms out and arched his back, stretching in a dog-like fashion, ears flickering every so often.

“Kagome,” he said excitedly.

She smiled at his response to her arrival and turned back around to return to the entrance. She brought over one bag she’d bought and rummaged inside, “I’ve got some clothes for you to try on, so you should probably get up.”

That’s when she noticed his mood souring. It wasn’t like him to get upset without her physically touching him, or making him do something he didn’t like. It’s not like he had actually understood what she had told him, had he?

Inuyasha smelled the potent stench of wolf on her. Why in the world did she smell like a wolf demon?

His possessive dog instincts kicked in, lips curling and the desire to growl at her steadily growing. Inuyasha felt betrayed. Demons of his kind were loyal to their companions, so why would she betray him like this?

Hey—when in the world had he cared what she did and didn’t do? It was none of his business what this stupid girl would waste her time doing. If she wanted to go prance around with those mangy wolves, she could do as she pleased! It’s not like he cared or anything.

And when did he start identifying as a dog demon? He was over all that.

“Keh,” he spat out indifferently, pretending like he hadn’t noticed the stench at all.

He’d play it off like he was Mr. Cool.

His sudden mood swings puzzled Kagome, who wasn’t sure what to make of them. Perhaps she had to pick up her textbook on animal behaviouring again to see if she had forgotten a passage or two.

With the morning’s events quickly forgotten, it took about half an hour for her to get him to dress, Inuyasha wrestling to put on the clothes and Kagome struggling to explain in ways for him to understand how to put on the various pieces of clothing. After they’d tried on each garment bought and deciphered which fit and which didn’t in two separate piles on the couch, Kagome deemed her shopping trip a success.

In all honesty, the ordeal had played out much better than she had expected.

The professor had found him several pairs of jeans, a couple pairs of sweatpants, and shorts that fit him. She’d also bought an array of t-shirts, sweaters, and nicer looking tops such as polo shirts and button ups.

She learned the hard way that the white-haired man refused to wear shoes, battling her as she tried to slide on a pair of sneakers. After her scuffle with him, she finally got him to wear flip-flops. At least it was still better than nothing she decided.

That also meant that socks were a no-go, so she’d have to deal with messy footprints around the house when he refused to wipe his feet before entering.

The best purchase from the morning’s shopping trip had been a red ball cap which hid his fluffy appendages. It would be her secret weapon to take him out in public.

Kagome straightened out the living room after their fashion parade, setting aside a bag of clothing she had to return since they didn’t fit.

It was about time she made the two of them lunch, anyway.

»»———————————————- ♡ —————————————«« 

Working on activities for her report was the next step in her experiment. The raven-haired woman had prepared flashcards with pictures of everyday objects. She’d use them to teach words to the new dog-eared student she’d taken under her wing.

She sat Inuyasha down on the living room carpet and sat across from him, folding her legs in a crisscross fashion. She’d found that her companion was much more relaxed and at ease sitting on the floor than on modern chairs. Kagome was certain that too much at once would confuse the poor man, so to enhance his learning, she’d enhance his comfort. As simple as that.

Plus, it’s not like she didn’t sit on the floor daily to work on her laptop at the coffee table.

The two were facing one another, Kagome, cards in hand, and Inuyasha, gazing at her intently. Why was he always so serious?

The professor pulled out a card which displayed a brightly coloured vehicle, “This is a car. Car.”

She repeated the words a few times hoping he understood what she was doing. While she did so, a clipboard was cradled on top of her crossed legs with a pencil secured to its clip. Kagome also had a bowl filled with treats behind her to entice him to pay attention to their little game.

Inuyasha cocked his head sideways, ears tipped forward as if to show that he was paying attention. Eagerly waiting for her to speak, as if a child being read a bedtime story.

“Let’s try another one,” she declared as she placed the card face down in front of her.

The next one she pulled up showed a practical electronic item she used on a daily basis, “Computer. Computer.”

This time Inuyasha seemed to grasp what was happening a bit more. He pointed towards her laptop that was still resting atop of the table a few feet beside him.

“Yes, that’s fantastic, that’s a computer” she emphasized again, her cheerfulness at his progress shone through her pleased tone.

At that, he flashed a toothy grin at her. A noise rumbled in his chest, almost like a kitten’s purr.

“Kah-mpoo-tah,” he emitted, the croakiness at the disuse in his throat very clear.

The professor praised him by handing him a pepperette piece she’d prepared earlier. She knew from her animal behavioural knowledge that a positive reinforcement always worked better than a negative one. One shouldn’t yell at an animal since they wouldn’t understand why they were being scolded. Yet, giving them a reward for doing something good right after doing so could get them to learn much quicker.

She was hoping she’d be able to induce a Pavlovian behavior out of him—he’d try to say the word, she’d praise him and he’d expect a reward. Lather, rinse, repeat.

She’d show those above her in her department she could accomplish amazing things herself. There was no way she’d let herself get fired over a mediocre thesis and all those budget cuts at the university. She’d get through this along with Inuyasha. They were in this together.

They repeated this exercise until dinner time. That night, Kagome prepared a dish of miso, white rice, and grilled fish. This time, she’d focus on etiquette. The white-haired man would have to learn to eat without stuffing his face immediately with the food presented in front of him.

It would be like pulling teeth, but she’d have to get started somewhere.

»»———————————————- ♡ —————————————«« 

Kagome placed multiple dishes in front of Inuyasha. She handed him the chopsticks and as always; he grabbed a hold of them and set them down beside his meal as she figured he would. He didn’t quite grasp the concept at all.

So, she handed him another pair. This left him with a perplexed expression painted across his face. What was she trying to do?

He put them down again.

She repeated the process over by handing him a third pair of utensils.

“Hey, you have to eat with those,” she pointed expectantly at the pair of chopsticks Inuyasha held firmly in his hands this time.

His right ear twitched in annoyance. There were delectable smelling dishes right under his nose and Kagome was distracting him from eating them.

Enough dilly-dallying he decided, placing the third pair of chopsticks on the table once more and wrapping his fingers around the nearest dish, its aroma wafting directly under his nose.

Every time he’d go to grab the small plate with his clawed hand, her own would come and rest atop of it to prevent him from bringing it to his face and devouring it whole like he usually would.

If he really wanted to, he could force it out of her hands he told himself. Yank it from her and show her what he was capable of. No one should underestimate him just because he was a half-demon. No one.

A low growl reverberated through his chest as his ears flicked back and forth more frequently as she kept preventing him from eating.

Why was she stopping him, now of all times? She’d never done this, always allowing him to eat to his heart’s content for some reason or another, unlike most humans who tried to chase him out with a broom.

He’d have to figure it out soon because his rumbling stomach wouldn’t let him wait any longer and his patience was wearing thin. Very thin.

“Don’t you growl at me, mister!”, she chided, scolding him this time by placing her index on the tip of his nose and pushing back.

He tried to use more force on his hold of the plate this time, yanking it from her hands. This caught her off guard, leading her to stumble and fall on her side.

The sound of her slender frame hitting the hardwood floor in such a brusque manner sounded like a ton of bricks being dropped in a silent auditorium.

Inuyasha immediately regretted what he’d done. The man smelled the scent of fresh tears teasing at his nose the moment she had come back to her senses after her tumble.

He winced at his own actions. Stupid, he was so stupid. How could he have made her cry after everything she’d done for him?

Wait- no! He wasn’t supposed to feel sorry for a filthy human. How many times had they made him cry when they turned his back on him when he was just a starving child?

There was no way he’d sympathize with her he decided. His heart had decided otherwise though, his ears drooping forward pointing towards his soft white mane. His facial features softened, eyes mimicking those of a begging puppy. He hadn’t meant to hurt her with his superhuman strength.

He whined as he dropped the plate he had taken from her while descending from the chair. Inuyasha scooped her up as if she weighed nothing less than a feather.

“Sorry,” he softly murmured, remembering hearing that sound being uttered from the people in the black rectangular machinery in a similar situation.

“S’okay, don’t be,” she mumbled back as she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

She took several seconds to process what had just happened. Had he just talked to her?

Kagome tried to calm herself from the excitement she felt to prevent an overreaction. Her aching side was still throbbing from the hard thrust given by the man who had gotten impatient with her.

She wanted to praise him for talking to her but didn’t want to praise him for having lost his cool on her either. She was in quite the pickle.

Kagome, with the help of Inuyasha, slumped back down on her own chair to let her companion eat his own dinner without another fuss. The professor didn’t want to repeat tonight’s event as she’d already made her test subject go through enough for one night. Clearly, she’d pushed him a little too hard.

Not wanting to look at him in the eyes, she stared quietly at her own dinner, munching away without saying another word or demanding something else out of him.

She was lost in her own thoughts, replaying the night’s events like a movie reel.

Inuyasha didn’t want to disappoint her again. Not only had he hurt her, but now, the foolish human didn’t even look at him anymore. He wouldn’t stand for that! He wanted her to look at him with those chocolate brown orbs of hers. He didn’t know what had gotten into him; he wanted to know what she wanted from him!

What in the world was going on with him? Why was his heart beating so fast? The constant pounding of the organ resonated in his animalistic ears, blood rushing to every part of his body, confusing him even more.

He sat there, not touching his dinner for a few minutes as he racked his brain for a solution—and it wasn’t in his nature at all to stop himself from eating when he was starving.

Was it something to do with those stupid wooden sticks she had given him before his food? What did she want him to do with those?

Then it hit him as hard as a slap in the face.

He remembered seeing her eat with them in an odd fashion over the course of the previous few days. He was sure he had vivid memories of his human mother using them too when he was an infant, but he wasn’t certain about that part.

Maybe that would get her to look back up at him?

He grabbed the pair with difficulty because of his long razor sharp nails but tried his best to steady them despite this. Inuyasha observed the manner in which his female friend had them placed between her dainty fingers and tried his best to replicate her hold on them.

Inuyasha clumsily attempted to snatch a piece of grilled fish with the sticks. It kept slipping between the pieces of wood as he tried over and over to clutch it between the eating utensils. No matter how much force he applied, the fish slipped out, as if they had been lathered up in oil.

His golden eyes surveyed the hunched figure sat in front of him as he tried his best effort to bring the food to his mouth.

That’s when his white fluffy ears caught the soft feminine giggles emitted from across the table. The sound was so faint he doubted whether he’d heard it in the first place.

Kagome’s eyes slowly met his as a tiny smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She got up from her seated position and made a few strides towards him.

“Here,” she mumbled as she bent over to correct his chopstick holding posture.

Inuyasha felt the hairs at the nape of his neck rise and the heat flush his face once more as he felt her hand brush up against his. Why was this human getting him to feel so flustered?

The great Inuyasha, feeling something for someone, let alone a human? Keh!

He could finally grab the pieces of food with the help of the strange position his hands were placed in. His grasp was shaky at first, but he was slowly and surely getting the food to its intended location—his mouth.

Plus, it got her attention.

The rest of the dinner went by uneventfully, much to Kagome’s glee. The same could be said about the remainder of their evening as the two of them began the nightly routine she had established.

Inuyasha had managed to bathe himself—somewhat. Despite there being water in every nook and cranny of the entire bathroom again, he was clean and dry by the time the professor had to show him how to wear his pajamas.

She tucked him into bed, read him a bedtime story hoping he’d catch a few new words and called it a night.

What Kagome had a hard time understanding was why she had started to see her student as a man. Someone she could develop feelings for. In all honesty, she found him rather attractive, perhaps even someone of her type.

Wait- what in the world was she thinking? There was no way in hell that someone who’d been kept away from the population from so long could ever develop feelings for a person, let alone fall in love! There was no way that Inuyasha would ever fall for her, would he?

She forgot the thought as quickly as it had planted itself in her brain. She was being foolish, and she knew it.

»»———————————————- ♡ —————————————«« 

Loud buzzing resonated in her head as she started to come to her senses. As she glanced over at the bright red digits showing 6:00, she groaned and swung her feet out of bed.

It was Monday morning and time to get ready for work.

The alarm had panicked the half-demon, which had jumped up from his resting position on his futon. He only had to make two strides until he found himself between the digital clock and his protégé’s body.

Claws extended towards the plastic emitting the constant ringing, he’d show that stupid loud monster not to mess with him. Kagome quickly shot up beside him and held his arm before he could do any more damage to her household. She subdued his growls with a few gentle words and pressed the OFF button written in bold across the top of the contraption.

It was when he looked back at her, surveying her facial expression and the rest of her body that Kagome started to suspect something.

Had he been trying to protect her from what he thought was danger? That was odd behaviour for someone who hadn’t interacted at all with humans before and should want nothing to do with them.

That was something she could worry about later because she had to hurry and get ready. Being late on a Monday morning for work was out of the question according to her personal principles. Not only did she have to go through her own routine, but she’d have to set Inuyasha up for the day as well considering she wouldn’t be home until at least dinner time. She prayed that she didn’t get held up at the office tonight because leaving her housemate alone longer than necessary could definitely mean bad news.

Since she had to teach an introduction to psychology class today, Kagome had to dress slightly more professionally than her usual attire. Mondays were always the worse day of the week.

Preparing both of their breakfasts and packing both Inuyasha and herself a lunch, she readied herself for the walk to work. After showing her companion where his food was located in the refrigerator, she grabbed her to-go coffee mug and made her way towards the entrance.

This foggy morning was more chilly than usual, so she slipped on her light purple windbreaker. Biding Inuyasha a good day, she ambled to work feeling the refreshing wind leave soft caresses on her face.

She took about 20 minutes to trek her way across campus to the psychology building where she arrived at her desk and booted up her computer. The bustle and noise of the office became clear in the upcoming minutes as more and more members of the department started to file in, arriving at work for another day’s worth of business.

It wasn’t long until she heard the distinct footsteps of her eager male friend stop in front of her desk. She swore that if he had a tail and ears like a dog, she’d hear it rhythmically hit the wooden side of her desk as it wagged back and forth whenever he was in her presence.

After the weekend’s events of meeting Inuyasha, she figured that anything could be possible, and even that mental reverie of him could reveal itself to become true.

“Hey Kagome, how was your evening yesterday?” the male voice inquired as he rested both of his palms flat on some piles of paperwork scattered across her bureau.

“It was good Kouga, how about yours?” she asked uninterestingly as she tried to accomplish her morning’s tasks before heading to her lecture.

“It was boooring! Ginta, Hakkaku and I watched the game last night and our team lost! It would have been so much better if you would have joined us, y’ know?”

“I’m sure it would have been,” she replied, trying to tone down her sarcasm as much as she possibly could.

That’s when she realized her mistake.

“Wait, you’d want to come over at my place Kagome?”

That guy could never take a hint. He took everything she said literally, not understanding when she made it obvious to anyone else but him she wasn’t interested in his advances. He was so dense sometimes.

She’d have to find a way to deflect what she’d said, and fast before the situation spiraled out of control.

“Well—you know how I am, always busy working on my projects,” she chuckled nervously, not wanting to meet his gaze, afraid it would make it too obvious she was sassing him.

It wasn’t exactly a lie either.

“Yeah, I totally get it. Don’t worry about it, baby.”

The rest of the department trailed in, including Naraku, Bankotsu and a few more members who worked in the psychology field.

Elated that most of his coworkers had arrived, Kouga turned around to face them, “Guess what kind of mutt Kagome’s gotten over the weekend guys!”

That little shit- how’d he even find out? Was this his way to get back at her?

What Is Anti?

Holy fucking shit, I’ve literally had this saved as a draft on this site for MONTHS and just haven’t posted it out of spite, but if ever there was a call to action this is is. I published this theory a while ago, but I wasn’t completely happy with how I’d written it at the time so I took it down a few minutes later. I’d originally planned on never revisiting this again, but while developing a different theory which will probably be coming out soon, I was forced to revisit this work, so here we are. The science of Antisepticeye. What he is, where he came from and how to stop him. It’s a long one lads, so buckle the fuckle up.

If we’re ever gonna stop Anti, which is kinda the point of all this theorizing anyways, we have to know what exactly he is. To figure that out, we need to look into what effect he has on the world around him. Looking back at the ever expanding collection of Anti moments ((thank the heavens for his wiki and a whole lotta spare time)), the only thing that tied them all together is that the person in the webcam felt a sense of danger, be it from a jump scare or high suspense or even from hearing Anti’s name, the brain of the person who was recording sensed danger, which triggered a hormonal fight-or-flight response in their body in the moment Anti presents himself to us, and it’s usually preceded with a long gap in symptoms surfacing. What else do we know of that lies dormant for a long period of time before something triggers it to wake up which usually leads to chaos for whatever system it’s in? Jack A virus!

So what kind of virus is he? Well, in bigger videos like Say Goodbye and Kill JSE the person on the screen communicated that they felt physical effects of his presence, like nausea, aches, delirium and twitching and in some cases bleeding from the eyes. This tells me that if Anti is a virus he’s a biological one.

However I cannot ignore the biggest telltale sign of Anti showing up which is the game or webcam ((and sometimes the person)) glitching, audio disturbances, and corrupted html text((Zalgo)), which would tell me that he is a computer virus.

So lads, correct me if I’m wrong in saying that if Anti is indeed a virus, he wouldn’t be exclusively biological or the technological, but rather a biomechanical virus((I totally didn’t make up the term shush)).

Being made up of both biological and technological components mean infection could have happened just about anywhere. For the sake of clarity I’ll be breaking it up into biological and technological components as I’m fairly certain the two are symbiotically dependent on each other, considering the physical effects coincide almost completely with the technological ones.

If infection was controlled by the biological aspects, that would mean he was infected by contact with the virus. Either he touched it, breathed it in, ate or drank it, kissed it, or bled on it. For all the other egos who’ve been infected, this makes perfect sense. JJ cutting his finger right before the glitching shows up, Henrik almost never wearing his surgical mask when handling his infected patients, Chase heavily drinking in the moments leading up to Dark Silence, but Jack is a different story. The first time we saw Anti was in FNAF Sister Location, and that video had none of the above in it. That tells me he was infected well before he first showed himself, which makes sense logically. People don’t show flu symptoms as soon as they come into contact with the flu virus. It has to fester for a little bit before showing any symptoms, so why should Anti be any different?

So where did Jack get infected? If he did physically come into contact with the virus, it would have been in a live action video. From a storytelling perspective, it wouldn’t make sense to not showcase an important plot point clearly, and live action is the best medium to do such. That brought me to the 2015 pumpkin carving video, but nothing too suspicious happened. There was no bleeding, he didn’t eat anything, while he did kiss the pumpkin no bodily fluids were exchanged, and breathing it in or touching it seems implausible, because it would mean the virus already existed in his house, which means he would have been infected long before that video.

The only other live action videos he’s done, and correct me if I’m wrong, were the 700,000 subscriber ghost pepper challenge, the ALS Ice bucket challenge, and his regular vlogs. Sean is incredible at blurring the line between normal video and ego video, but these videos all had an underlying sincerity to them, where he was trying to communicate to us his appreciation or with the ALS video trying to get us to donate to charity, and I find it highly improbable for him to try and undermine the meaning behind them with an ego clue.

That leads me to believe that it were the technological aspects of the virus that infected him, and that’s where things get kinda tricky. Now, computer viruses are actually relatively easy to come into contact with, the problem definitely isn’t there. Maybe Jack was sent it in an email, maybe he went to a sketchy website, maybe he downloaded a game that had a little something extra up it’s sleeve. No biggie, it happens. The logic leap is when the computer virus starts affecting his real life person, even when he’s not using the computer, a la Say Goodbye.

I believe immersion is the answer. Immersion in game play is something a large portion of game developers strive for, making the player feel like they were actually inside their game. This is one of the hardest and most important things a story driven game developer can do, and also one of Jack’s key defining features in games he tends to really enjoy.

I think, in the story that Sean has created for us with the egos, when Jack is doing a lets play and he gets really immersed in the game, he actually does exist inside that game. That feeling of total immersion, those moments when his brain is unable to separate the game from reality, they happen because of him actually being inside the game on his computer. If Jack were to download a game that had Anti’s virus on it, and then became immersed in the game play experience long enough to come into contact with said virus, it’s entirely possible that the virus stayed with him when he left the game/no longer was immersed.

Well, if we’re going to find out how to cure the thing, we’ve first got to find the location of patient zero, i.e. the video that started it all. If we know where it came from, we’ll know how it works and that’ll make it immensely easier to stop it. Are there any games out there that Jack played that 1) truly immersed him as a player into it’s world, 2) share a strong resemblance to what we already see in Anti, and 3) was uploaded some time before the release of Sister Location. There are two bigguns that spring to mind.

Undertale is probably the most well known and well liked series on Jack’s entire channel. While he was playing he became heavily invested in each of the characters, even the baddies, and so did we. We grew to care for them all as if they were our closest friends. When they were hurt, we screamed in protest. When they were comforted, we felt all warm and fuzzy. When we reached the true ending, we all cried. I would most certainly consider that immersion, wouldn’t you?

Not only did Undertale immerse the player and viewer, it messed with your actual computer files. If you do a genocide route even once, uninstalling and reinstalling the game won’t wipe it’s memory of the route. You have to dig through your computer to find and delete the file that tells steam what route you chose if you want to play the game brand new again. Not to mention the game frequently closing itself unprompted, which has a well known history for corrupting recording footage. Potential for corruption? Check.

New paragraph for new point because oh my god, there’s a lot. Several people have already pointed out the similarities between Flowey and Anti, but just in case you haven’t seen it yet or wanted a nice recap, here we go.The voice acting Jack chose for Flowey sounds just like a higher pitched Anti voice. This was the first time he ever layered audio files to achieve a more sinister voice effect. The thumbnails following his fight with Flowey all hold trademark characteristics of Anti video thumbnails. Our first ever interaction with him ends with him attempting to murder Jack. Their laughs are one in the same. At certain points in the game, you can find Flowey following you, keeping an eye on things, if you will. His boss fight, oh my g o d. He kills the dude in charge, everything cuts to black, and next thing we know there’s a glitchy face laughing at us through a screen, telling us about how he’s the one in charge and how this is his world and how everything he’s done was all our faults, after which his eyes turn red and green and he starts puppeteering controlling six different souls, using their different skills to his own personal advantage so he can fulfill some unspoken objective. Gee, sound familiar?

However, despite all of this, Undertale was not patient zero. Why I still listed all the game’s similarities despite this, I promise was not to waste your time, I’m getting to that. There was a game that came just before this one, the first of it’s kind, the actual patient zero. That game, is The Visitor.

Many of you may not remember this game, but The Visitor (and The Visitor Returns) was a little flash game that was posted way back on March 1st, 2015, and you played as an alien creature that came to Earth on a meteorite who’s only objective was to kill any creature it came into contact with to gain it’s powers. It was a video that kind of took the channel by storm, landing it’s place as the fifth most watched video on Jack’s channel even though nobody really knew how. This was patient zero.

As for the checklist? It was posted March 1st, 2015, a full year and seven months before Sister Location. Jack is certainly immersed in the gameplay, so much so he forgets about the menu screen and accidentally restarts the game in an attempt to do more stuff. Does it show a similarity to what we already see in Anti? More than you’d see at first glance. Yes, his mouse is kind of glitching through the entire video. Yes, his webcam goes dark for a single frame towards the five minute mark. Yes, there’s multiple severe neck wounds throughout the game. But that’s not what sold me on this. It’s the premise of the game itself.

I was struggling for months trying to figure out which game was patient zero. I jumped between Undertale, Fran Bow, Vee is Calling, and even the other Five Nights At Freddy’s videos more times than I could count, because all of them seemed like plausible answers. Fran Bow was the first series ever to adopt Anti’s traditional thumbnails, with lens flares and glowing eyes and blood everywhere(seriously, I took a good ten minutes and scrolled through every single video on his channel and Fran Bow was where it all started), not to mention a dark shadow creature who feeds on suffering being the main antagonist. Vee is Calling had an actual virus as a main character who actually glitches out and actually takes control of the main character’s in game computer. One of the glitches in SIster Location #1 showed a frame from the first ever FNAF game, and many of the sounds were pulled from the series at different points. I’ve already written paragraphs about Undertale. All of these things show a direct tie to Anti.

Then remember what The Visitor is all about. It’s an alien who kills things around him to gain it’s powers. It takes aspects from each creature it comes into contact with and uses them for his own personal gain. That seems to be exactly what Anti has done ever since we’ve known him as a physical entity on the channel rather than an idea with a name.

I mean, look back at May 2k18. Every single skit, either ego themed or not, was pulled directly from whatever the game he played was about. Hell, just look at the egos! I’ve talked about this before, but in every single ego video, there is always a theme of character decay, where the person they were at the start of the video erodes away leaving nothing but a shell of who they were by the end, and this is especially apparent in their debut. JBM, the courageous hero giving into cowardice. Marvin the Magician, throwing away his career. Henrik the wise doctor, killing his patients and forgetting a comedic amount about human nature. Chase the bubbly dad, pulling a gun on himself. JJ the mute actor, cutting his finger and immediately getting possessed. I’d tied them back to Anti before, but I never really knew why. In hindsight, this was clearly Anti’s attempt at stealing their strengths. Each and every one of them had some advantage that Anti wanted, and their slow decay was evidence of Anti trying to take control so he could have it. That’s why each new video showed him getting stronger, going from making them kind of afraid to full on suicide and possession. He was stronger because he’d taken more attributes and was able to use them more effectively with each passing video. For each game that Sean got immersed in that fit his agenda, Anti adopted different aspects for himself. There is no one video where Anti came from because he came from every video.

Okay. Alien biomechanical virus. How do we treat it? Well, that is heavily reliant on it’s sources. Anti adopted both some benefits and some defects from every game he pulled from. He gained both strengths and weaknesses, so if you want to “beat” him, the answer would lie in those games. The Visitor had no happy ending. Fran Bow won by giving up on reality and living with tree people, a demon, and an oversized axolotl. Undertale got a good ending by befriending everyone including the bad guys and hopefully not dying too much in the process. FNAF was finished by getting fired or burning everything to the ground and praying you’re not sent to purgatory. Vee is Calling was saved by focusing on your love life more than your computer files. Maybe it’s one of those answers. Maybe it’s all of them. Maybe it’s none of them. It seems not even Sean knows the answer to that question, but now we have a great place to start looking.

I wasn’t able to attend PAX, which means I didn’t know about the Anti “hint” until just now. When I heard it I wanted to scream, I think I actually might have, because I’ve been sitting on this work for literal months and just not gotten around to posting it. “We still haven’t figured out what Anti is yet.”

So, @therealjacksepticeye, are my answers to your satisfaction?

Top Up Oil

Run Engine

Check Oil Levels

For most riders changing your motorcycle engine oil is the maintenance task second only to checking tire pressure that you’re going to perform most frequently.

Instead of spending lots and lots of money paying somebody else to do it, you can spend a little quality time with your bike learn a little bit about it make sure the jobs get done right by doing it yourself, this guide is here to help you do that.

For this example I am going to be using a Harley Davison Street Glide, this is going to serve as our representative example.

We prefer to put our motorcycle on a lift when changing the oil but it can be changed just as easily on the center stand.

The Harley Street Glide is going to be a representative motorcycle but there’s a wide variety of motorcycles out there and there’s a lot of different ways to change the oil so check with your owners manual to for the correct information on where items are located.

This post is sort of a general theory and overview about getting the oil out of the bike getting fresh oil into the bike and getting your filter on and off, just keep in mind your motorcycle may not be exactly the same.

Tools Required

The next item we’re going to talk about besides the bike is the tools you’re going to need for this job. The tools I use for my motorcycle oil change is simply a collection of tools that we’re going to use for this oil change but again because all bikes differ a little.

Not all tools are going to be the same, however, there are some basic tools just about everybody’s going to wind up having.

Oil Filter Rench

First things first you need some method of getting your oil filter off. If you have an external spin-on filter a set of filter jaw pliers will definitely be helpful. However, if you have an internal filter you may not need that, you may just need something as simple as an Allen key.

Safety Gloves

I’m not a big clean freak, nor my a big safety guy, however, motor oil especially used motor oil is carcinogenic so protect yourself. I put plenty of carcinogens into myself, I don’t need any extra help so I use disposable latex gloves.

Consumables

We have our filter, we have our oil and a funnel and a plastic bag the purpose of which I’ll explain to you just a little bit later. And of course, a drain pan because you do want to capture that used motor oil, it’s pretty harmful to the environment recycling it is not difficult at all if you’re in North America.

Factory Service Manual

I’ve done thousands of oil changes and I feel pretty confident I can get through an oil change without a manual but there’s no shame in terms of having a manual on your bench.

Oftentimes I’m doing more complex projects and I’ll have three or four separate manuals opened up and maybe even a tablet computer pulled up with a forum so I can gain additional information. Knowledge is the most important tool so don’t be afraid of using it.

Most oil changes are fairly easy on today’s motorcycles, all of you should be able to get an oil change performed and again it’s going to bring you a little closer your bike.

You can get to spend a little bit of quality time with your best friend and you’re going to possibly spot problems before they crop up.

The first step I like to do when I’m doing an oil change is to check the oil. I like to see the level of it, low oil can do a variety of things. First, the engine tends to run a little bit hotter, the oil serves as a cooling agent in most motorcycles.

What To Look For

The other thing Its responsible for is lubricating the engine. On something like a Harley, it can be damaging to the engine if you’re running low but if you’re on a metric bike the oil performs a couple more functions.

Many metric bikes use the engine oil also as a transmission lubricant and it serves a tertiary function of cooling off the stator which is an electrical component.

Some bikes are famous for having Staters go bad a little bit early because they’ve been run low on oil, so if I see a bike that’s been run low on oil I know I can keep an eye out for some other damage that may have occurred.

The other reason I like to check the oil is I like to examine the consistency of it, sometimes there are things in the oil that can tell you about bad things that are happening in your engine.

For instance, if your engine oil was to look milky that can sometimes mean the coolant is getting into your oil.

That’s not going to happen of course on an air-cooled Harley but if you do have a liquid-cooled bike and you have milky oil that can be indicative of coolant mixing with the oil which is not a good situation.

The other thing you can sometimes see are metallic flakes. The oil will look sparkly when you’re looking at it, sparkling oil can also be a sign that maybe there is some metal on metal friction that shouldn’t be happening in there.

While these are bad things to see if you catch them early enough you can sometimes save yourself from having to purchase a replacement engine.

I know I’ve definitely replaced cases on Harley’s before and sometimes those problems could have been caught earlier had somebody been paid a little attention to the fluid and the obvious signs of damage.

Even though your factory service manual may not tell you to check the level and condition of your oil as part of an oil change I think there are some benefits.

To check the oil level locate the dipstick. Remember not every single motorcycle, yours included will have a dipstick necessarily. Some bikes have sight glasses in which case you’ll have to check the level by peering into a glass on the side of the engine.

Remember the position the bike is important as far as determining the correct oil level because the oil flows to the bottom of its tank. You may or may not have to check the bike upright or on its side stand, your manuals going to tell you how to do it.

You should know how to check your oil, it’s something every motorcyclist should be doing regularly. If you don’t see any signs of contamination of your oil (metallic flakes or milkiness) that’s a good sign.

At this point what I like to do with the dipstick if your bike has one is leave it just sort of hanging out of the engine, this is a sign most mechanics will use to let other mechanics know not to start a motorcycle because it’s being operated on.

Warm Engine

The very first thing you should do before draining the engine oil is warm up your bike, I tend to put my bike on the main stand and let it run for about five minutes to warm up the oil.

When the engine oil gets warm it gets thinner and when you drain it the old will drain quicker and more thoroughly.

You want to get the engine warm not hot, remember you will be touching some engine parts and they can get hot so you don’t want to get them too hot so you cannot work on the bike.

Drain Engine Oil

It’s now time to get the old motor oil out of this bike. The first thing you need to do is to get the drain plug out of the bike so we can get the oil out before we get to that let’s discuss a couple tips and tricks that might make your life just a little bit easier.

Tip 1

First things first make sure the plug you’re about to remove is indeed the oil drain plug. Some bikes have a number of plugs underneath, the Street Glide has a transmission oil drain plug, there’s also off to the side a primary oil plug.

If you don’t pull the correct drain plug the oil drain plug you may wind up doing just a bit more than an oil change.

Tip 2

The next tip I have for you too is using an oil drain pan. I also like to have a sacrificial rag placed in the pan.

This rag is going to get dirty and disgusting but what the rag does is for the initial deluge of oil that winds up pouring into the pan – it sort of help dampen that so the oil doesn’t go into the pan and jump right back out.

This will keep things clean, it will keep our work area clean and minimize some of the cleanups you will wind up doing at the end of the oil change.

Remove Drain Plug

The first thing you’re going to do is break the drain plug free. Nearly every pull on a drain plug is kind of difficult the first time, after that, it should unthread pretty easily. Once you have loosened you can smoothly spin the drain plug to remove it.

You may even be able to use your fingers to get the drain plug finally loose and get to the end of the thread, when when the plug breaks free the plug might pop into the pan which isn’t the biggest deal in the world so just make sure if it does end up in the pan that you remember to go back and get it before you dump your oil.

When you reach the end of the thread the plug will feel very loose, there is probably a whole bunch of oil about to shoot out of here so make sure you have the drain pan underneath the plughole to catch the sudden surge of oil. While the oil is draining you can move onto removing the oil filter.

Removing Oil Filter

Internal Filter

Removing the old filter is going to differ from bike to bike as we had talked about earlier. Some of you are going to have an internal filter if you do when you’re removing the access plate be careful when you’re getting the last of the bolts undone because those things are under spring pressure.

It’s not enough to be dangerous but it is enough to throw some parts out into your lap, you don’t want that because you want to see exactly how the order those parts came out in. Just be mindful of the fact that there are some little parts in there so make sure you’re taking everything out and returning it in the proper order.

External Filter

For those of you who are working on a bike with an external filter, you’re going to need to spin the filter off, sometimes that can be pretty difficult as we had mentioned earlier.

There are a variety of tools around to help get the filter off, some tools are helpful in certain situations and some tools are not. You may need one or two different cracks at it with different tools like the filter jaw pliers I mentioned previously.

Just like the drain plug, the filter will feel a little tight at first but once it has cracked it should come off pretty easy. Once it has cracked continue to use the tool to loosen until you feel it can be finished by hand.

Remember before we talked about that plastic bag? Now’s the time and you would be using it. One of the things you can do to help keep your mess to a minimum is to take your plastic bag and slide it over the filter or up if you have a low hanging filter.

You can envelop the filter with the bag. You should be able to loosen the filter in the bag to help keep the mess down.

Just a little shot of oil so make sure you have a pan underneath handy or some rags if you’re not going to use the plastic bag trick.

It can seem like it takes quite a while for your motorcycle to rid itself of all its oil but that’s actually okay, it gives you a little bit of time to perform some necessary housekeeping.

Drain Plug Seal

First things first your drain plug has some way of sealing against the oil pan, some of you may have crushed washers or perhaps like a fiber washer sealing your plug and your pan. In the case of our Harley, you may have a sealing o-ring.

Renewing the plug seal will help keep leaks at bay when you consider how inexpensive these o-rings are it really would be a shame to wind up smoking a motor because you had a leaky one and you lost all your oil.

Next up is your filter

If you’ve cleaned your motorcycle off correctly you’ll notice that there’s very little oil on the part of the engine, the motorcycle filter seals too.

Rubber being kind of catchy can have a tendency to grab and tear so what I like to do is grab a finger full of my new motor oil, dab a little on the filter o-ring and then just sort of work it around. This will help the o-ring slip and slide between the filter and the engine block itself, it will stop it from tearing.

One of the other things you can do too is if you have a canister style filter that faces upward, you can actually fill this thing up with oil. What that does is minimizes the amount of time your engine is running dry without oil going through it, you can save a little bit of wear and tear.

Fit New Filter

Now have our new oil filter prepped and it’s now time to install on the bike. A couple of items of note before we get to that.

First things first you want to check the motorcycles filter sealing surface, that’s important because the o-ring from the old filter may not have come off completely when you removed the old filter.

If you install a new filter on top of that old oring you’re guaranteed to have some leaks so make sure all of the old oring has been removed from the engine block before installing the new filter.

The other thing you want to think about is as far as installation is concerned is what tool you should use. Even though you may see on some filters they do have a method to get a tool on there, that’s only for removal, you should be able to install a canister style filter on your motorcycle by hand.

What you should do is screw it on by hand until you feel the sealing surface touch the motorcycle and from that point, you should tighten somewhere between three quarters in one more turn beyond it.

That will get the filter snug enough so that it’s not going to come off while you’re riding your bike.

One of the things I did was mark the filter so I can see how far I have to turn to get that three quarters to one turn and that little bit there should be all we need.

Top Up Oil

Our oil is down to a very very slow drip so it’s now time to reinstall our drain plug. We’ve got a fresh o-ring on the plug before we begin there are a couple of things you want to think about.

On our representative example bike Harly specs a torque of 84 to 108-inch pounds to crank down the oil drain plug bolt, again check with your bike to see what requirements are.

Another thing you want to consider is when you’re installing the plug install using your fingers first. The reason being if you have cross threaded the plug your fingers will feel the difference and not damage anything if you apply a tool to this immediately and start cranking down there’s a real possibility you could destroy some threads somewhere.

Once the threads catch you can finger tighten the thread without any risk of damage to any of the parts, once the plug is in as far as you can using your fingers it’s time to get a tool out in order to tighten it fully.

The Homestretch

Our new filter has been installed, our drain plug has been tightened and all we have left to do is fill the bike up with fresh oil. I’d like to take this moment to remind you that this is not the end of the oil change, this should end exactly as it began with a check of the oil even though 4 quarts is about the right amount for the Harly we want to visually confirm that.

What Type Of Oil To Use

There are many types of oil you can use for engine, we have written an in-depth article that explains what we consider to be the best oils to use for motorcycle engines. Check out our article “Mineral Oil vs Synthetic For Motorcycles” which goes into this in much more detail.

Once you have filled up with new oil according to your owner’s manual you can start your bike. This allows the oil to circulate throughout the engine and fill in some of the air gaps we’ve created and then recheck.

Theoretically, things should be spot-on and that should get us exactly where we need to be to get this bike ready to ride.

That’s the way we change our motorcycle oil, hopefully, those of you who are rookies learned a little something and you feel confident attacking this job and maybe you old hands happen to learn a trick or two that might make your next oil change a little bit easier.

How To Remove Malware From WordPress

Plugins and scans are a good way to examine if your website is infested with malicious code, malware or any other security threat. It is left to us to regularly scan WordPress for malware and examine our web sites, even those who appear ironclad, for malware. In the previous WordPress web sites have been the target of assaults that redirected traffic to malicious URLs which is why it's so important to frequently scan WordPress for malware.

Run the Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall and scan the site totally. Scan the positioning with Sucuri's Sitecheck to ensure you didn't miss something. You do not need two firewall plugins running, so de-activate the Anti-Malware plugin after you have verified the clear web site. Referencing the backup of your web site, edit the wp-config.php file on the new install of WordPress to use the database credentials from the your former web site. If you can't run a backup plugin and your net host would not have a "snapshots" function, then you should use the online host's File Manager to make a zipper archive of your wp-content folder after which obtain that zip file. It is important to know that the malicious code is added to the top of each capabilities.php file which is discovered throughout the root listing of every installed theme. This plugin contained a malicious script referred to as woocp.php internet hosting some obfuscated PHP code which, on execution, injected the malicious code into all the functions.php information.

Songbirds and Baby Bats (XI)

Series Summary: Jason Todd returns from the dead and, after the events of Under the Red Hood, he goes from Gotham to Bludhaven in search of himself...and an old friend. But getting your life back is never easy and Black Mask has enlisted the aid of Gotham’s other Crime Families as well as a few ghosts of Batman’s past. He’s coming for the Red Hood and everyone of his allies.

Always fun to play with photo editing when you need a pic off instagram. I don’t own any of the images of Ian Lang/CD828 as Red Hood. None of them. As per usual, save for my OFCs, I own nothing. That said...Welcome to the show and donate to their Season 2 Kickstarter - there are only 7 days left!

PART XI

Jason sat at the workbench with his helmet in hand. It had been designed to take significantly more punishment that the last fight alone had done to it. He had, however, also been derelict in maintaining his gear since sliding back into the void he’d left in the lives of Dick and Amy. Sighing, he plugged the helmet into his laptop. Watching the two pieces of hardware talk to one another, he tapped absentmindedly at the keyboard. At least the problem didn’t seem to lie with the software. That was a small favor, he had no desire to sit and fix code.

God that could be boring. He’d much rather reinstall a microchip with a set of tweezers and a soldering gun.

“Hardware. That’s not...so bad,” his voice trailed off as the door to the bed room swung open. Looking up treated him to a view of Amy in an over-sized shirt and running shorts. The former stolen from his duffel bag. “Hey,” he smiled, nodding for her to come over.

Holding up a hand, she turned the corner into the open kitchen. “Coffee first,” she yawned, nearly tripping over their boots. It had been over a week since the incident at the construction site and they still hadn’t moved those from their place in front of the freezer door. “Shite...balls…feck.”

Chair scraping across and nearly crashing to the floor, Jason shot up. “You okay,” he called, taking a step towards her. One of her hands was on the counter, the other held up to stop him, she tiptoed around one of his boots - laying on its side like a fallen domino. At least he’d made a fresh pot of coffee when he got up...before dawn. The cabinet clanged open and she nearly dropped one of the mugs as she drew it down from the shelves, cursing again. It was a process and the woman had visible not slept well. When she finally finished the voodoo that was pouring herself a cup of coffee and padded from kitchen to workbench, Jason asked, “How late did you end up working on this stuff?”

Their gear, armor and base layers aside, was spread out on the workbench. That included his firearms, neatly stored in cases of different materials that spilled onto the floor and formed a row against the wall. “Too bloody late,” she yawned over the rim of her mug. It was his way of saying he didn’t remember if or when she’d crawled into bed and expressing concern for her that tugged at the back of his mind.

“The discharge mechanism diagnostic is done by the way,” he thumbed at her dismantled gauntlets and heard her mutter something that sounded like an okay before dragging the rolling chair along behind her. He watched her spin the chair around and straddle it. Her arms were propped against the back, coffee in hand. Dropping back in his own chair, Jason sat facing her. “I looked over our intel. All that data we followed to Black Mask and then...Dustan.”

“Aye?”

“It was bait. Meant to get us away from doing what we do best: Cracking heads and...re-purposing the mobs’ shit.”

“Back to basics then?”

“You know it.”

“Destroy the drugs, turn in the guns, and so on.”

“The drugs I can get behind. Was wanting to keep the weapons though.”

“You’re mad love.”

He shrugged, leaning back in his chair and throwing his arms behind his head, nearly knocking his laptop off the table in the process. “AH!...You know you want to rob ‘em blind to!” A broad, sparkling smile beamed back at her. It had a disarming quality that worked on everyone except his adoptive family, and Barbara Gordon.

“Dia ár sábháil**,” she muttered, taking a swing from the black and gray striped mug in her hands. The eye roll she gave him included the fully involved head bob for effect. Jason laughed almost despite himself. A half second later, coffee warming the length of her throat, Amy continued, “Someone has to make sure you, ya know, stay alive.”

His face clouded over for a split second. He knew she was teasing, knew it was meant to be in jest, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t kicking himself for getting killed all those years ago in for the first place. Then it was gone. The Broadway smile that had faltered snapped back into place, his blue eyes looked like clear sapphires, and all that remained was a puzzled look on Amy’s face. “Jaybird,” she coaxed, a hand on his knee, “Love, where did you go?”

“Hm?”

“It was quick but you...you weren’t here were ye?”

“I’ll tell you about it later, okay?”

“Okay…” She’d resolved not to press when that kind of dark shadow fell over him. There’d been a professor in her gen-ed psychology class who’d made a point of impressing upon the students that pressuring someone with obvious PTSD or similar potential issues would likely end with them being not only shut down but also out. That was the last thing she wanted. Jason was back, provided he stuck around (in every way that implied) then it meant he’d inevitably open up. She patted his knee as he turned his attention back to the readouts from his helmet. “Why not tell me what’s going on with that?”

He’d started clicking through the screens, visibly furrowing his brow on the third one. “Um...well, some of the circuits on my HUD aren’t working right.” Flipping the red egg over in his lap, Jason’s fingers glided along its seams until he found the internal release. A pop echoed in the room and it separated into three loosely conjoined parts: a front and back of the helmet itself and the inner lining used to both cushion it and protect the internal electronics. “Looks like,” he followed a trio of wires that traveled along the jawline to the lenses and hung his head. “I found it.”

Withdrawing his hand from the cluster of red and black, a section of frayed wire and snapped plastics filled his palm. “That, is part of the the circuit and wiring harness that actually lets me see.” Hanging his head he tapped the computer keyboard with his other hand, the ocular lenses lighting up. “It gives me biometric feedback like what the old man has in his cowl, not as complex as his gear but more so than your mask or Dick’s. Unlike you guys, if this is broken, I’m pretty much walking around in the dark with sunglasses on. This,” he set the circuit and wires down, tapping the brow of his helmet, “Thing has no peripheral vision, what so ever.”

“Where did you get it,” she’d scooted forward and was leaning in to look at the small circuit boards and frayed wired as best she could against the chair back. “These are…”

Chuckling to himself, Jason answered proudly, “I broke into the R&D facility for Wayne Tech’s Korean offices. Knocked out the security, whole deal. It was fun.”

“Dunno about you,” her eyes were locked on the one-inch squared chunk of circuit board in her hand. Turning it over, the crack and separated or corroded components painfully visible. “But this is beyond my ability to fix.” That knowledge sat like a knot in both their stomachs. “And breaking into the main offices of Wayne Enterprises is-”

“Next to impossible. I know.”

“It’s the only place that’s actually meant to keep us out.”

“C’mon, it’ll be fun.” He had no point of reference to promote this kind of confidence. “Hack a few consoles, override the computers -”

She laughed, sparing a glance from the circuit assembly, “I repeat: You’re mad.”

“How did I let you talk me into this,” Jason could hear Wren paced back and forth on her perch. She’d taken up position the roof of the office high rise across from Wayne Tower. Her voice was edged with concern and knew that, despite her walking a rut into the roof, her eyes were him. He’d given her his sniper scope for just that purpose. When he didn’t answer, preoccupied with the roof access console, the Irish woman's’ voice chirped in his ear again, “You sure that patch job will hold for this?”

Chuckling across their comms he offered, “ Yes it will; also this is fun and you’re an excellent partner.”

“Well, provided we don’t get caught. How are you planning to thank your partner?”

“Dinner,” he promised, overriding the pass codes finally. The lock popped open with a soft click. “Steak, I’ll buy and cook.” Pulling the door open, he drew a pre-cut strip of duct tape across the bolt to prevent it re-engaging. He also put a thin piece of rubber in both to top and bottom corners so it would appear closed on cameras, all while remaining ajar a few millimeters.

“I’m sorry, you cook now? When did this happen!?” There was level of incredulity mixed with the disbelief in her words, he was amused. It wasn’t unwarranted. Pre-Lazarus pit bath, he’d been unable to make more than general breakfast items, spaghetti, and a few simple meals. Chili was the most complicated thing he’d dabbled in at the time. Post-Lazarus pit, he’d had to figure out how to prep a wider array of meals in order to survive.

Trailing back over the awful black and red calendar that served as the last several years Jason pinpointed at least the location where it started. “Somewhere on the Mediterranean coast. Not sure what country though,” he whispered, splicing and cutting the wires on one of the door leading from the roof access stairs to the executive suite level. “Memory serves,” he grumbled, changing the subject,“There are some spares in the Old Man’s office”

He could hear Wren sputtering on the other ends of their communication channel. Clearly the news he’d learned to cook had her spinning. “And it’s edible?”

“Yup,” he chuckled, the locking mechanism chiming as it disengaged. A gentle twist of the knob, another strip of duct tape across the lock to prevent it from catching. Once more he left it partially ajar, unlocked and closed softly enough the weight didn’t force it closed. Ahead of him stretched the corridor that included two the offices of the CEO, CFO, and COO as well as Bruce Wayne’s own. The spotty telemetry helping him skip past and around the security cameras and sensors.

Getting into the offices was the easy part, especially Bruce’s own. Never failed to surprise him that the old man didn’t take greater precautions. And, as the grand wooden doors swung open, he realized why. “Fuck.”

“Jay?”

“There’s enough security in this room that it makes Luthor’s look like an open bar,” he grumbled, getting the fractured scan of the room. It was big and equipped with everything from retinal to pressure scans. “Also I can make baklava now too.”

She giggled and he grinned, tip toeing past a number or laser sensors. “A nice dinner date will be perfect then.”

“Glad someone’s going to appreciate my cooking,” he had three safes to choose from. One, he remembered, held spare electronics for the Bat family gear. Another held a handful of emergency weapons and grappling guns. The third, behind the portrait of Thomas and Martha Wayne held company relevant documents and information. “You got any ideas Irish? The telemetry scanners are just functional enough that I -”

“The one behind the portrait of Bruce with Dick and Alfred,” she cut him off, still watching from across the the alleyway. “You’re cute when you puzzle over something.”

He chuckled, “Of course you know. Alright, let’s hope the part I need is there.” Carefully he crossed to the large portrait, the urge to take out his combat knife was strong but he knew slashing the damn thing was going to get them caught. Gingerly he slid it aside, turning so his back held the stupidly heavy portrait and it’s ostentatious gold painted frame back. It gave him access to the digital lock staring at him from the wall. “Oh shit.”

“Everything alright?”

Nervously he answered her, uncomfortably admitting this lock was beyond him, “He...uh...yea...no. I can’t open this.”

“Beg pardon?”

“I have seen this lock once and it nearly got me caught and killed.” He laughed nervously frustrated, “The short version: I tried to get into the Batcave when I first got back through the vehicle access. That was, um...a mistake.”

“Story for later. You want me to come over?”

“Hahah,” he reached into his jacket, pulling out a small explosive device, “No, I have another plan. Just, um, just be ready to run like hell Little Bird.” He affixed it to the locking mechanism keypad, tapping a four digit code into its interface and shifting to grip the portrait he added, “On my mark.” He hefted the painting off the wall, it was longer than he was tall and nearly sent all six-feet of him falling backwards with its unwieldy size. Leave it to Bruce to have something overwhelming in such a prominent place. He set it on the opposite wall, near a painting of Wayne Tower. Go figure.

Wren didn’t have a real opportunity to respond before Jason dropped on the far side of Bruce’s giant desk. No sense playing fast and loose with this little gadget. His need for the circuit board out weight even the shrapnel of a desire to reconcile with Bruce. The old man would get over it. Not like what was about to happen could really be considered unexpected. After all, this was how he did things. “Mark,” he hissed over comms, squeezing the small detonation switch tucked in his left hand.

The following explosion was enough that Wren saw it from her point across the way, peering in the window with the sniper scope. The average person on the street wouldn’t see or hear it. That didn’t mean, however, that the security personnel half a dozen floors down were unaware or that Batman hadn’t been alerted to the intrusion. “Shite Jay,” she cursed.

“Get going.”

“Not til you leave that building.”

Shaking his head, Jason stalked back to the now open safe. Putting his legs into it, he yanked the heavy steel open. There were two shelves: One holding waterproof strong boxes with microchips in it, the second held a full utility belt for a Robin. Oh yea, that was coming too. He slung it over his head and let the belt drape awkwardly around his chest before tucking the two small boxes into the pockets of his jacket.

It took him a minute to get situated. “Okay, and out the window,” he answered the silent panic coming from Amy across the way. “Please tell me you’re moving,” getting the windows of the executive suite open was the easiest part of their night.

Grappling hook engaged, it dragged him across the street and onto the next roof a heart beat before the security personnel opened the door. At least there’d be nothing in the safe to out their dysfunctional little family. They couldn’t have that happen. “We’ve got incoming,” she warned.

“Well that was quick.”

They’d narrowly gotten away from Downtown Gotham and Batman without issue. There was no guarantee Jason hadn’t, towards the end, been caught on camera but it was something he’d deal with later. At the moment, getting them the rest of the way back to Bludhaven was his top priority. He could fix his helmet later, now that he had the parts. Right now, he had a promise to keep. Sitting in the passenger seat, whole body leaning against the door and head lolling forward as she slept, was the one person in the family he knew he had to make amends with.

Alfred would forgive him. The man probably already had. Dick had basically done the same, surprisingly. But Grayson had always had the over-protective brother complex. As for Bruce? That was still no loss.

He changed lanes, left hand on the wheel while his right came to rest on Amy’s thigh. Their haul and their masks were in a backpack in the seat behind them. Not for the first or last time he smiled and whispered, “It’s good to be back.”
