The most absurd and tragic results of this fetishizing of what were taken to be advanced farming methods occurred in the Soviet Union, where giant model farms were newly laid out for mechanized production before a trained workforce had been developed and before a proper storage-and-transport infrastructure had been installed to support the use of the expensive machinery. In the maturing Marxist-Leninist version of socialist construction, nature was regarded as an utterly passive and infinitely malleable substrate for industrialized agriculture. Because the proper treatment and improvement of the land was not regarded as an important step, let alone a priority, Soviet agriculture attained notoriously low productivity levels per unit of land area (even on some of the world's most excellent soils), coupled with an astonishingly bad record in soil erosion. The response in the mid-1970s was to import grain on a large scale while investing even more heavily in the further industrialization of agricultural-production processes. The result was increased output purchased at a much more than proportional increase in capital costs. The inefficient use of resources in Soviet farming was substantially due, of course, to its overly centralized, command-from-above style of social organization. Experimental systems employing mobile brigades of workers were tried out in the early seventies but were soon politically quashed. They were revived more recently and might eventually have altered the poor labour productivity in Soviet agriculture if they had been given a proper chance. Their environmental impact was quite uncertain, however, although it seems unlikely that it could have been worse.

How much do you think one would need in investments to live off passive income where one buys some thousand dollar plot of land in New Mexico and lives in a storage shed? Just enough for food and medicine right? There are cheap plots of land in walking distance of places you can buy food and medicine. I think about this pretty much every day. Ever since I started investing in an index fund around a year ago. Would the suck of not having electricity and plumbing (well presumably I would be able to charge up my phone and laptop on grocery runs) be more or less than the suck of having to work for a living? I have enough invested for my fifty dollar a month medicine, just not for food yet...

whb QoLs that i would like to see

boredom post lol, just dumping my thoughts into the void of what id like to see be added in whb but probably will never happen 🫠

1. separation of character and artifact banners

pretty self-explanatory. w the roster being huge and it only increasing from here there needs to be a distinction btwn characters and artifacts. im sure many ppl atp have gotten tired of the false hope they get when they get the gold glow from one of the kings at the beginning only to find out that its just one of his sig 💀💀

1.1 for patches w 2 l-rank debuts, have the selector work even before you hit pity

i get having the selector for if you reach hard pity, but its a bit greedy for it to apply only when you wasted so many seals (esp when f2ps dont get as much seals as they should). i would like the chance of knowing im guaranteed that char from the beginning even when i get the char early

1.2 if there exists an artifact banner, let there be a selector for which one you want to pull for

same logic as prev points. the rosters getting huge and ideally id like to have smth guaranteed for when i do my pulls

2. update characters' skill descriptions to be more specific

theres too many "[dmg/healing] is proportional to [some stat]." i want to see what that actual proportion is, like "dmg is proportional to x% of stat" where x is some number. or in skill menus theres "increase passive effect" like just tell me what youre specifically increasing in the passive !!!! i shouldnt need to actually lvl the passive to figure out whats changing, it should be stated from the get-go

3. have someone at the very least proofread the text

now i've seen my fair share of typos in games, hell, i literally play one where they couldnt even spell their own game name properly during the earlier yrs of its release lol *cough pgr cough*, but for the most part theyve resolved that issue and simple typos are easily spotted and fixed, but ive never seen there be this many typos or language switches mid-sentence. literally just 1 thorough proofread couldve easily solved most of these grammatical issues.

4. better optimization

im sorry but this is getting to like hoyo lvls of optimization w the fact that whb, which just hit half anni a month ago, is getting close to the amnt of storage an almost 3 yr old game has is wild to me (completely disregarding the fact that pgr has 3d models, l2d cgs, etc). imo, the amnt of storage whb holds should be around or even lower than what neural cloud has (which mind you, also has 3d models and l2d art 😭😭)

incoming very weird comparison but vanilla minecraft, a game that gets regularly updated, both on pc and pe take less than 1 gb

literally improving the optimization would make the game more accessible i.e. get more players to play since it wont take up a lot of storage !!! as someone who used to have 64gb or less on my phone, i could barely play any games on it bc nowadays they unnecessarily take up so much storage

5. add more daily/weekly tasks

keep the 9 daily requirements and 32 weekly requirements the same, just give more tasks for each so that we arent strictly set on doing specific ones. id like to see more stuff like "battle any stage x amnt of times" (emphasis on any, not a specific stage) or "interact w the lobby character at least once," just really anything that doesnt involve investing in a character or artifact. i feel like im wasting resources from lvling chars i dont wanna lvl, + we dont get enough tears per week to properly invest in so many characters at once.

giving more breathing room to hit the 9 and 32 achievements would put less stress on me cause then i'll know that if i cant complete one task, i can just do another and still be able to get all the rewards obtained for the week. im sure a fair share of ppl atp have missed out on getting all the weekly rewards bc they accidentally missed 1 daily task which is painful

5.1. get rid of the lvling artifacts weekly requirement and lvling characters requirement

briefly mentioned it prev but wanted to make its own section. its useless, especially when i ald have the artifacts that i need lvled up. its a dumb requirement that makes me waste mats and pulls just so i could lvl some artifacts properly.

6. get rid of the rng boxes and make them selectors

5.2 increase the daily/weekly rewards

dailies (w pancake shop): 9 tears, 7 key boxes (rng)

weeklies: 4 tears, 5 red keys, 2 yellow keys, 50 seals

i dont think i need to explain much here thats like scraping the bottom of a barrel for important mats/gacha currency

they suck. i do not want resources to be gacha too

7. make all shops cheaper

self-explanatory. everything is too expensive (esp in red gems shop) and therefore is borderline inaccessible unless if you hoard mats or 💳

7.1 add the ability to convert red gems to seals

red gems have very little use now ever since seals were introduced. id like them to have some important use if we keep getting a certain amnt of them every week. we can covert them to red/yellow keys, so by that logic we should also be able to convert them to seals too

8. get rid of uncommon/useless currencies

pretzels, artifact enhancement stones, and blue guilty gems are the 3 that come to mind. ik pretzels were originally supposed to be from the friends system, but that was removed a bit after launch and still hasnt showed up despite pb promising itd be launched around this time. aside from that the other 2 serve little to no use, as artifact stones dont lvl up the artifact all that much and blue gems died when seals became a thing

9. auto-clear for story stages

i mean that after getting a perfect clear on a stage, then have auto-clear be an option. since candy boxes are farmable through story, i end up falling asleep or getting bored of having to sit through fighting the same stage like 20+ times a day. this is honestly one of the more nit picky ones in this list lol, i just play the stages in the bg while i do other stuff but ideally id like to get stuff done asap

10. make lvling characters cheaper

we only get 13 tears a week from dailies + weeklies + pancake shop. assuming you start from scratch and want to get to char lvl70, it takes 3 weeks to get there without the help from other shops. thats almost a month for 1 character, it shouldnt take that long to invest in someone (it also shouldnt be that expensive 💀)

if we're getting such low numbers of essential materials per week, decrease the character lvl prices to reflect that. or alternatively, increase the number of mats we get per week to easily lvl characters

10.1 increase the character lvl cap to 100

40 tears for one level is not worth it, having the cap be 100 would make it feel like its worth it (not really tbh, its still real expensive when lvl70 provides more than enough to clear all content 💀)

10.2 add a resource stage for pies

getting pies only through shop (rng boxes btw) and events isnt enough to compensate for how much skill lvls cost. either decrease the skill lvl prices or increase the pie income to balance it out

11. have the ability to backread txt msgs before choosing a reply

self-explanatory. the game doesnt allow you to backread before choosing a reply which sucks :/

as someone who usually cant process txt after reading it once i kinda just sit at the replies like :/ girl i forgor what he just said and i cant go back and read so i'll just leave and re-enter the chatroom again ig

12. have the game automatically lock l-rank artifacts as soon as you get them

ik theres a lock feature, but you need to lock all artifacts manually. id rather the game lock l-rank artifacts for me once i get them so that i dont accidentally recycle them when cleaning out my inventory and then i manually unlock them later if i want to

13. give seals, keys, or just any sort of general gacha currency as compensation rewards

receiving only ap feels like a slap to the face, and seals/any other currency would only be given out if there was smth that was severely (and i mean very severely) hindering everyones gameplay. the ap given isnt even that much either which is like rubbing salt in the wound

14. decrease ap requirement in stages

considering stages can go up to 32ap as a req (given this is only seen in events, the usual hovers around 25 but my point still stands), you cant really do all that much if the cap hovers around 250 (give or take, i havent seen anyone w 300ap yet so 250 im considering is the avg rn for endgame players). w each stage at highest difficulty being 25-30+ap, we essentially only play like 10 stages max before needing to wait.

1 solution ppl would have in mind is to just buy the 300ap from red gems shop or buy more ap from selecting the ap counter directly to get more for the day, but i want smth thats more accessible. i shouldnt need to pay w some currency to get literally the bare necessity of being able to play this game.

i think keeping all stages at 15ap is perfect, hell, even 20 would also work since w 250ap you can get more than 10 runs in one session

15. make the battles less reliant on needing certain l-ranks

this is just smth ive noticed when testing out stages w other chars or just playing realm of seraphim lol, but theres a huge imbalance w l-ranks vs s and a+-ranks. theres also a huge imbalance when it comes to the classes too (i'll get to that in a bit)

take beel's camp for example, there is no one in beels camp that can essentially mimic or closely mimic what beel does kit-wise (dmg ik will be different cause lower ranking and all). imo, the go-to non-l-rank alternative for beel isnt even from his camp, its from belphegors !!!! (if you didnt catch on im talking abt andrealphus lol)

or take mammon for example, no one in his camp (as of making this post) deals dmg on ult, they only either shield themselves or take the hit for ppl on the team, which tends to do more harm than good.

element-wise, take juno for example. juno being an l-rank fire unit significantly changed how fire team worked, i.e., you can actually use that team to clear most story content now (minus water enemies lol). that should probably put into perspective of 1. how l-ranks are a bit too important in this game and 2. how unbalanced light as an element is compared to every other element

15.1 give us more tanks and healers

i need yall to see how crazy our current roster is

(dont mind the title of the table lol its from the spreadsheet, also for reference if ppl see this in the future this is pre-lucifer (victory))

why do we have so many close-rangers??? so many marksman????

we have such little supports (tanks + healers) that it makes me fully convinced the gameplay pb wants to achieve is full on dps and not yk a well-balanced team w dps AND support. dont get me wrong if players want to full on dps that is totally fine by me, the issue im having is that the devs appear to want a full on dps team, completely ignoring the idea of how to properly balance a game where they also introduce supports. of course there are marksman/close-rangers that can support i.e. buff the team (juno, dantalian, ronové, phenix, the list of examples goes on), but im specifically talking abt the classes in general. for the most part, marksman and close-rangers are usually dps while tanks and healers are usually support.

if youre gonna introduce supports in this game, 1. have more than just 1 tank unit for each non-light element, 2. make the healing be higher than 1% of a char's hp, 3. have an equal amnt of tanks and healers as close-rangers and marksman.

the fact that if you dont have mammon as your designated tank or lucifer as your designated healer, youre essentially screwed over is wild to me. their camps' s/a+-ranks should be able to hold just as well without their kings. satans camp is the perfect example of that. chars like minhyeok (who is quite literally mini satan kit-wise lmao), gabriel, leraye, nostalgia leraye, hell even ppyong (the a+-rank ver, not juno lol) are all perfect alternatives for if you dont have satan and that is amazing. we currently dont have that for supports and i genuinely hope thatll change in the future

—

this game is very, VERY far from being at least somewhat balanced in my eyes. i really do wish for the best w this game but man as someone who loves to dissect gameplay down to the numbers, seeing all this gets real frustrating for me from time to time.

anyw thats all for now– this was a bit of a rant more than anything lol

Ioun Kineticist (Kineticist Archetype)

(art (presumed) by Yoshitaka Hatakeyama for Mega Man 9)

Anyone remember that scene where Magneto busted himself out of a plastic prison in X2: X-Men United with a trio of iron spheres? Because that scene lives rent-free in my head.

Perhaps one of the classic sub-tropes of telekinetic powers is the character that carries around a handful of special objects that they like to move around almost exclusively? These objects typically orbit the character when in use and simultaneously serve as a form of defense, but also can be launched out as projectiles before being pulled back into orbit. Well, that’s more or less what we’re dealing with today, but it gets a bit more interesting since the object in question is the classic orbiting magic item, the ioun stone! (or, well, Aeon stone now if we’re going with the updated lore of Starfinder and Pathfinder 2E).

Ioun/Aeon stones were, in the Lost Omens setting, an invention of the Azlanti, who discovered all sorts of wondrous uses for these magically-charged gemstones, which could provide passive powers, but also more advanced resonant powers as well if plugged into the right device, to say nothing of how they tend to power all sorts of strange wonders.

It only makes sense that there would be those that wish to study them deeply, and in the case of those with telekinetic powers, utilize them in their arts. Simply put, these kineticists learn how to unlock the true power of these stones while also using them as weapons and defense.

It's a pity we probably won't see any version of this archetype return since the 2e version of the kineticist lacks the aether element.

As suggested, these kineticists by necessity are linked to the element of aether. However, their focus on manipulating ioun stones means that they lack some of the more force-based talent choices, instead focusing on more crystalline components, allowing them to spin their stones in a deadly whirlwind, gather them up into an explosive ball projectile, grow jagged crystals from their bodies, or even infuse their stone with properties to pierce the resistances of certain foes.

They also start with a trio of dull gray stones bonded to them. Able to do little more than hover around their owner, these stone nevertheless make good projectiles. However, these mystics can replace these dull gray stones with functional stone by bonding with them, and eventually have more than three stones bonded in this way, though they still can have more non-bonded stones orbiting them and providing benefits.

Their basic kinesis allows them to stow or retrieve their stones from storage en masse with ease, as well as channel their arcane power to enact simple magical effects.

Rather than build up a buffer in their own body, these kineticists instead store the reserved energy within their stones and spend it when needed. However, they can also choose to sacrifice the stone invested with their energy to gain even more fuel for their more powerful talents at the cost of burning out the stone, rendering it an inert dull gray stone. The more valuable the stone, the greater the energy.

As they accept burn, these kineticists also begin to resonate with their stones rather than grow in personal power. The greater the burn, the more of the resonant abilities of their stones they can activate and draw upon at once. What’s more, for stone that normally provide a bolstering to body and mind, they can forgo the normal resonant ability in favor of getting a bigger boost from them, though only one at once.

Finally, it’s worth noting that these kineticists do not learn to strike foes with pure force when they learn deeper secrets of the Aether. Instead, they learn the “Azlanti” composite blast, an improved version of their telekinetic blast that draws upon the power and knowledge of the Azlanti civilization to increase the speed and power of their projectile stones.

With the nature of this archetype, it’s clear that it is meant to be supplemented with most of your character’s wealth being focused on buying more ioun stones. The tricky part about that being that ioun stones are always more expensive than most items that provide a similar bonus since they don’t have an item slot or upper limit on the number of stone you can have orbiting you (though obviously many have effects that don’t stack or provide additional benefit. Also consider what stones you want to be bonded with, since that will determine what resonant powers you have access to later in the day. As for the build itself, I recommend one focused on equal parts blasting offense and defense.

While the ioun/aeon stones are heavily connected to their creators, the Azlanti in Pathfinder’s core setting, in other settings the lore may be very different, but no less worthy of exploration. Perhaps the stones are naturally occurring but need to be “crafted” to bring out their magic, or they might be magic crystallized in specific processes. No matter their origins, however, researching these stones can prove a good basis for any hero, and make for a kineticist that is much more intellectual about their powers even as they continue to channel them through their body.

The party is chasing the villain downriver, but it feels like they’re not making any progress, that is until they are met by a taniwha, a magical serpent that tastes magic. The poor creature is wary due to its injuries, but it did bite the man who wounded it, the man surrounded by floating stone, their quarry.

They say that the mountain of Pojun is riddled with caves that are filled with the God’s Blood crystals from which aeon stones can be made, but the surrounding jungle prevents it’s exploitation by those who would mine them, and the grippli guardians who wield the stones in a glittering whirlwind of death prevent the jungle from being harmed.

It is said that the wizard Ioun invented his namesake stones, but he was inspired by a magical crystal found in some cavern lost to time. This gem, the True Heartstone, was said to grant great power to the one who proved worthy of wielding it. Many who study the stones consider it a myth, but the dream of finding it lives on.

The Allomantic Pyramids

The Allomancer Pyramids are sought after for their relatively generous passive benefits.

As with all of the Pyramids, they are each divided into one of the sixteen base metals. This division determines what base metal and shardmetal alloys they have access to through the shard.

Each member seeds 50% of their Will, which in this case is generalized capacity. Be it physical, cognitive, and spiritual. To the one above them in the hierarchy. This includes any actual benefits from their seeds.

40% of this will is sent into a sort of 'bank', a vast ocean of raw investiture which is reserved for the synthesis of material through the individual's shard. This is a costly endeavor, changing raw investiture into matter, and only experienced veterans of the pyramid have the presence of mind to ration their synthesis. The recommended first synthesis is a Lerasium alloy, to grant Allomantic abilities even if their place in the hierarchy is somehow severed. However, the amount of investiture required to synthesize a shardmetal like that takes years for 1s and even 2s to accumulate.

5% of this will be sent to the one they seed as Allomantic ability in the first place. This does in fact mean that those without the ability to utilize Allomancy when joining the pyramid will not be able to do so until they are seeded by 0s or above.

The last 5% of this will be sent to the one they seed as getting generalized capacity, a replacement for what they are currently giving.

The shards used by Allomancer Pyramids are by far the largest of them all. The slots are placed behind the ear as they all are, but their single slot is as tall as the ear and half an inch thick. Unlike the other shard slots, these shards do not physically touch the person using them, rather, there is a sort of protective casing around the slot. The Allomancers only need the metal in their body after all.

Above is a standard shard, a storage cartridge that can be used instead of the canisters, a canister, a sunheart filament, and a small crystal.

As with all of the pyramidal shards, it is comprised of three basic components. Will Stone, Atlantian Crystal, and a Sunheart filament. The protective casing which the shard slot is lined with is also Will Stone, and there are numerous Raysium contact points on the shard to facilitate proper connection between the shard and the slot. These contact points are outwardly coated in silver to prevent the user from burning the Raysium, accidentally or otherwise. These shards also have the additional invested attribute of lighter weight. The volume of material is essential to the art.

These shards can either be slotted with eleven canisters or a cartridge.

The Canisters are far more common and are empty lead cylinders, used when the Allomancer chooses to manifest materials. The canisters not able to be burned, protect the individual from the potentially harmful material, such as a Harmonium Alloy that they could manifest. Each canister can manifest only a single material at a time, but can manifest any materials the Core allows. Due to the nature of matter, the amount of material that can be stored in canisters and how much investiture it takes to synthesize the same volume of material will vary based on the material itself.

The Cartridges, however, hold exactly 24 hours of burning worth of material, for non-instant materials such as Aluminum. This material is condensed and lightened through the use of investiture, though they still retain 10% of their weight. This weight attached to one side of the skull makes them unlikely to be used below a certain tier of the Pyramid.

Advantages of passive self storage investing

As self-storage facilities continue to grow in popularity and demand, many investors are beginning to explore the potential of this lucrative investment opportunity. One strategy that is gaining attention is passive self-storage investing. 

Here's why:

Steady, reliable cash flow Self-storage facilities offer investors a steady monthly cash flow as tenants pay rent on their storage units. Unlike residential or commercial properties, self-storage facilities often have high tenant retention rates and lower maintenance costs, leading to a reliable stream of income.

Resilient during economic downturns Self-storage facilities are often seen as recession-proof investments. During times of economic uncertainty, people tend to downsize or relocate to smaller homes, leading to an increased demand for storage solutions. Even during a recession, self-storage facilities continue to generate stable income for investors.

Low maintenance costs Unlike other real estate investments, self-storage facilities often have lower maintenance costs. The simplicity of the structure and the lack of complex mechanical systems means that investors can avoid costly repairs and upgrades. Additionally, the use of high-quality materials in the construction of these facilities can reduce the need for future maintenance.

Diversify your investment portfolio Investing in self-storage facilities is a great way to diversify your investment portfolio. By investing in multiple self-storage facilities, investors can spread their risks across different properties and locations.

Strong long-term investment potential With a growing demand for storage space across the country, self-storage facilities have strong long-term investment potential. The rise of the sharing economy has also increased demand for smaller storage solutions, such as lockers or cubes, which offer investors an additional potential revenue stream.

Overall, passive self-storage investing is a smart investment strategy that offers steady cash flow, low maintenance costs, and potential long-term growth. As self-storage continues to be a popular investment choice for investors, those who take advantage of this strategy stand to benefit from a stable and profitable investment for years to come.

bro my last call of the day was helping a colleague help a client figure out what company he transferred $230k to back in 2021. Like this guy had $230k in an investment account with us and transferred it out but apparently he had absolutely no memory of where he sent it and somehow no documentation from the other company. And we were NOT finding anything in the system that was helpful, like it was to the point that me and my coworker were afraid the guy had gotten scammed out of a big chunk of his life savings.

But then it ended up being okay bc we found some documentation for where the money was sent to (it was a legit company I’ve worked with before) and we were able to help the guy get a lead on where to go. It was buried in an old data storage system that we don’t use anymore and is a pain in the ass to navigate and if it hadn’t been for another colleague suggesting it I wouldn’t have thought to look there like at all. There was literally only this one document in our whole system that served as proof that this guy hadn’t been severely grifted

And like, I know that it’s a Super Rich Person move to just forget where you put a quarter million dollars, but honestly I felt bad for him bc it sounded like this would’ve been a devastating loss if we couldn’t figure out where it went. This was money he’d earned and put away for retirement over the course of decades, so it’s not like it’s some old money bastard living off of passive income and being a drain on society and forgetting he’d invested a small sum on a pet project that went nowhere.

But still, I have to imagine since it was 2021 he was just dealing with a lot of other shit (who wasn’t tbh). Like I just cannot fathom losing track of a huge sum of money like that without there being extenuating circumstances. Like I can definitely imagine scenarios where you’d make a big financial move and then forget (like idk maybe he experienced a tragedy) but damn man.
