I definitely watched Man With a Movie Camera, Vampyr, Carnival of the Souls, Murnau's Faust. Three Colours sequence. Last Year in Marienbad. The Birth of a Nation. uhhhhhh. oh I watched Blade Runner for the first time in there. Rendezvous in Paris (don't remember it even at all), Spirit of the Beehive (don't remember it in the slightest). Das Boot (notional memories at best). A czech film that involved sheep and something about the relentless progression of time, don't recall the title. The Five Obstructions (loved it), Antichrist (it is my life's mission to force lars von trier into the next titan submersible and cut the oxygen line). A Bout de Souffle. A handful of classic noir but I don't remember exactly which titles. Oldboy. The 400 Blows. Un Chien Andalou, L'Age d'Or. Solaris. that FUCKING Popeye movie. Seven Samurai, Yojimbo. Cinema Paradiso. The Apartment. On the Waterfront. Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal. A collection of animated spanish horror shorts. uuuhhhh that's all I got boss. the mists of the past have enshrouded the rest.

e: oh 8 1/2, La Strada, Amarcord.

OOC Post

Incorrect quotes from Zoraxis HQ!

Juniper: Why are your tongues purple?

Fabby: We had slushies. I had a blue one.

Solaris: I had a red one.

Juniper: oh.

Juniper:

Juniper: OH.

Roz:

Roz: You drank eachothers slushies?

Roz: I just found out from Solaris today that when Juniper died and the service did the 21-gun salute at their funeral, Fabby said, “They should aim at the coffin to be sure.”

Juniper: Time sensitive question how flirt boy.

Fabby: Throw rocks at he.

Solaris: Hot Dogs.

Roz: Kill him.

Juniper: Thanks guys.

Solaris: We can bake these cookies at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or 4,000 degrees for 1 minute.

Roz: No, that's not how you make cookies.

Juniper: FLOOR IT!!

Solaris: How about 4,000,000 degrees for 1 second?!?

Roz: yOU'RE GONNA BURN THE HOUSE DOWN-

Solaris: I'M GONNA HARNESS THE POWER OF THE FUCKING SUN TO MAKE COOKIES!

Fabby: DO IT!

Roz: NO-

Solaris: Question, how difficult would it be to bowl in a bee suit?

Roz: Not that hard, I don't think, as long as you can move.

Juniper: I'd assume as hard as it is to bowl in a maid outfit.

Juniper: Wouldn't be any harder, but you'd get some WEIRD looks.

Fabby: Are. Are you speaking from experience.

Juniper: No!

Juniper:

Juniper: ....Maybe.

Roz: What is love?

Juniper: An emotional minefield.

Fabby: A neurochemical reaction.

Solaris: Baby don't hurt me.

Juniper: *tapping fingers on table*

Fabby: *taps fingers back furiously*

Solaris: …What’s going on?

Roz: Morse code. They’re talking.

Juniper: -.-- ..- .-. / - …. . / -.-. ..- - . … -

Fabby: *slams hands on table* YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

Juniper: You know guys, sometimes I feel like Roz doesn't take me seriously enough.

Fabby: "Sometimes"?

Solaris: "Enough"?

Juniper:

Solaris: Change that to 'at all' and we'll talk.

Juniper, watching Fabby and Solaris fight: Are you sure they should be fighting? What if they get hurt?

Roz, not bothered by the chaos: It’s fine. They’re too evenly matched to hurt each other.

Juniper: Then... who’s the strongest out of you three?

Fabby: Roz.

Solaris: Roz.

Roz: Me.

Juniper: Isn’t it weird how we pay money to see other people?

Solaris: You mean movies?

Roz: Concerts?

Fabby: Prostitutes?

Juniper: Wha…N-no, I mean glasses, what the fuck-

Roz: Think you can unlock the door for us?

Fabby: Sure, I just need a couple of things. Juniper, can I have your credit card?

Juniper: Sure, just make sure not to bend it.

Fabby: Thanks. Now Solaris, break down the door!

Juniper: Huh!?!

Fabby: What the hell was that?

Solaris: *picks up a flashlight* Only one way to find out!

Juniper: Wait a minute! You don’t go TOWARDS the spooky scary banging!

Roz: Yes we do, Juniper. We always do.

Fabby, pointing to the wall: What color is this?

Roz: Gray.

Solaris: Grey.

Fabby, turning to Juniper: Now tell them what color you think it is.

Juniper: Dark white.

*The squad is playing a team sport*

Solaris: Are you upset you don’t get to be on the same team as Fabby?

Roz: Have you ever played a game with Fabby?

Solaris: No…

Roz: Have you ever been trapped in a cage with a wolverine?

*Meanwhile, on the other side of the field*

Fabby, chasing Juniper: I SAID FASTER! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD “FASTER” MEANS? IT MEANS MORE FAST!!!!

Fabby: A stake to the heart won't kill a vampire if their tits are big enough.

Solaris: Yeah, you just catch it.

Roz: Nah nah nah, deflects it. Stake? Just bounces right off. Done. Back to doing hot girl shit.

Juniper: Then I just use a spear instead.

Fabby: You are trying so hard to kill a vampire with big bazongas, and for what? Why would you do that to the ecosystem?

Roz: I told Solaris to grab snacks for everyone.

Fabby, looking through the options: Why did you grab fruit snacks? Are you five? Who even likes Fruit Snacks?

*Roz, Solaris, and Juniper raise their hands*

Bismuth the Mining warframe

I'm not the least bit surprised that the Meme Pick of the season scored well. I'm tooling him as a dedicated support with strong defenses. All four of Bismuth's blueprints can be acquired from Old Man Suumbaat in Cetus (requires rank 3: TRUSTED with the Ostron syndicate), Smokefinger in Fortuna (requires rank3: DOER with the Solaris United syndicate), and Otak in the Necralisk (requires rank 3: ASSOCIATE with the Entrati syndicate). All three vendors will have all four blueprints available at all times. These blueprints are exchanged for raw ores and gems acquired from the associated open world zone. Every 12 hours the cost of Bismuth's blueprints from each vendor are randomized, each one requiring one type of ore and one type of crystal. The blueprints and components of Bismuth's signature weapons are obtained the same way but require rank 4 with each respective syndicate.

Common ores x250

Uncommon ores x50

Rare ores x10

Common gems x75

Uncommon gems x15

Rare gems x3

Health: 400 (500 at rank 30) Shields: 200 (300 at rank 30) Armor: 500 Energy: 150 (200 at rank 30) Sprint Speed: 1.0

Passive: Every enemy Bismuth encounters will have two nodes highlighted on their body, a blue Gem node and a red Metal node. Striking these highlighted nodes directly with any weapon will cause the node to be destroyed, dropping 1 unit of its given resource. These nodes along with the Gems and Metals are only visible and accessible to Bismuth. If there are multiple Bismuth on a team each one will have their own instances of ore nodes and dropped resources. Bismuth also gains 1 unit of Gem or Metal after successfully mining a node of the same type in open world zones. For every Gem Bismuth is carrying his maximum energy increases by 2.5, and for every Metal he is carrying his armor increases by 5. Bismuth can carry up to 100 of each resource.

Ability 1: Geochemical Survey, 25 energy. Combining the scientific principles of physics and chemistry Bismuth pings enemies to reveal additional ore nodes on their bodies while also damaging them. Geochemical Survey targets the enemy closest to Bismuth's crosshairs within 50 meters, dealing 200 points each of Corrosive, Impact, and Puncture damage with a guaranteed status proc of each. The initial target also releases 6 orb projectiles that seek out enemies within 12.5 meters from the main target over a duration of 12 seconds. Each orb deals 100 points each of Corrosive, Impact, and Puncture damage with a guaranteed status proc of each. These projectiles will avoid striking the same target unless there are too few enemies within range. Every enemy hit by Geochemical Survey's initial damage or seeking orbs will have an additional Gem and Metal ore node appear on their body. Enemies cannot bear more than four ore nodes at once, but enemies whose ore nodes have been harvested can be refreshed with new nodes by Geochemical Survey. Enemies killed by damage from Geochemical Survey will drop either a Gem or a Metal.

Geochemical Survey consumes up to 10 Gems when cast with each Gem adding an extra foe-seeking orb released by the main target.

Geochemical Survey consumes up to 10 Metals when cast with each Metal increasing damage dealt by +10%.

Ability 2: Gaia's Restoration, 50 energy. Using Tenno power to combine mysticism and medicine Bismuth heals himself and his allies with the power of the earth. Upon activation Bismuth and all teammates within 50 meters are healed for 50% of their max health & shields and gain 200+X (where X is equal to 10% of the player's base armor) bonus armor for 10 seconds. Healing from this ability grants health & shields. If health & shields are full excess healing is converted into overshields and if health, shields, and overshields are full excess healing is converted into overguard with a maximum value of 10,000 points.

Gaia's Restoration consumes up to 10 Gems when cast with each gem increasing healing granted by an extra 5% of max health & shields.

Gaia's Restoration consumes up to 10 Metals when cast to increase the duration of bonus armor by +1.5 seconds for each Metal consumed.

Ability 3: Enhydro Agate, 75 energy. Bismuth summons up a geode from below, a special stone that attracts enemy attention and releases pulses of energy when damaged. The Enhydro Agate has health equal to the sum total of Bismuth's health and shields multiplied by 5 and armor equal to Bismuth's. Enhydro Agate taunts enemies within 30 meters to attack it instead of players or their companions & allies. Every time the Enhydro Agate loses 20% of its max health it releases a pulse that restores 25 energy to all players within 40 meters. Both enemies and allies can damage the Enhydro Agate. The Enhydro Agate's health decays at a rate of 1% per second. Only one instance of Enhydro Agate can be active at a time, and agates will last until their health reaches zero.

Enhydro Agate consumes up to 10 Gems when cast increasing energy granted by each pulse by +1 per Gem consumed.

Enhydro Agate consumes up to 10 Metals when cast decreasing the damage threshold between pulses by -1% of max health per Metal consumed.

Ability 4: Rapid Sedimentation, 100 energy. When Rapid Sedimentation is cast Bismuth releases a huge mass of microscopic minerals that adhere to enemies, coating their bodies in a layer of quick-hardening stone. Over the course of 4 seconds all enemies within 30 meters slow until becoming completely immobilized; unable to move, attack, or cast abilities for 10 seconds after. All enemies affected by Rapid Sedimentation will have an additional Gem and Metal ore node appear on their body. Enemies cannot bear more than four ore nodes at once, but enemies whose ore nodes have been harvested can be refreshed with new nodes by Rapid Sedimentation. Enemies that are completely immobilized by Rapid Sedimentation will have a 60% chance to drop an extra item from their loot pool upon death. Enemies that are affected by Rapid Sedimentation within 30 meters of an active Enhydro Agate will be damaged by the agate, taking the same amount of damage as the agate's health decay per second as true damage. Rapid Sedimentation does not consume Gems or Metals when cast.

Subsumed ability: Enhydro Agate

Signature Weapons Foreman: The original Orokin version of the Foreman was a multipurpose tool for prospecting. They were frequently seen in the hands of mine and quarry managers, giving this tool its nickname the Foreman's Stave. This bastardized Tenno version is repurposed with destruction in mind. Foreman is a speargun sniper with a 3x magnification scope and 30% bonus headshot damage while looking down sights. Slightly above normal magazine size and slow reload speed for a sniper rifle. Primary fire has very high per-hit damage and accuracy but slow attack speed. Deals mostly puncture, moderate impact, and low slash damage with high critical chance at the cost of low status chance. Secondary fire mode throws the weapon which deals pure blast damage in an 8 meter radius upon striking an enemy or surface as well as some impact damage if an enemy is struck directly. Secondary fire mode has high critical chance & critical multiplier but zero status chance; however this weapon applies a guaranteed blast status proc for every round in the magazine when the weapon was thrown and also gains extra damage for each round consumed. Players caught in the secondary fire's blast range will be purged of status effects and become immune to status effects for 6 seconds. As Bismuth's signature speargun this weapon's primary fire yields twice as many Gems or Metals when it hits an enemy's ore node. To craft the Foreman you will need its blueprint and three components: The barrel, receiver, and stock. Gluckrut: Yet another Orokin mining tool made weapon by the bloodthirsty Tenno. The Gluckrut is said to be able to seek out hidden treasures such as ore deposits and aquifers, but in the hands of the Tenno it seems most keen to seek out brain matter. Categorized as a secondary weapon the Gluckrut has two firing modes. Eight-round magazine with a moderate reload speed. Deals equal values of impact, puncture, and slash damage and boasts above-average values of both critical and status chance. Primary fire has a semi-auto trigger which fires fast-flying projectiles with high per-shot damage at the cost of a slow firing speed and deals 20% additional damage on headshots. Secondary fire mode fires all rounds left in the magazine in a rapid burst, causing the projectiles to automatically home in on the heads of nearby enemies but losing the extra headshot damage offered by the primary fire. Using the mag-burst secondary fire causes a slight but noticeable delay before reloading. As Bismuth's signature sidearm the Gluckrut's secondary fire mode will home in on and strike Gem and Metal ore nodes on nearby enemies instead of their heads, if present. To craft the Gluckrut you will need its blueprint and two components: The barrel and receiver.

Closing Notes: I don't think much here really needs explaining. At certain points it kind of felt like I was making a new version of Atlas, but I don't think anyone would complain about that. Gluckrut is derived from "Glück-Rüt" the German name for a dowsing rod. I decided that instead of making his ult consume Gems and Metals like the others I'd make it useful as a tool for harvesting those resources. Despite being relatively simple overall Bismuth ended up with a LOT of text.

you are so cool and knowledgeable teo i don’t know who would find you annoying lol. can you share some of the movies you mentioned? 💕

first of all 😭 you think i’m cool and knowledgeable 😭 that’s so sweet and to answer your question well my sister LMFAO. Anyway yeah i’ll share a few i think could be useful from the architecture/set design aspect!

first i wanna start with my baby blade runner (1982) which i already said i analyzed like a lunatic but from urban planning aspect it is very masterful. Also for one project i had to pick a film and find similarities with other art/movies/etc and i did blade runner + in the mood for love (color use, elements of film noir), calvin klein ss 2018 (reinterpretation of traditional pieces in futuristic light, nice use of function of association and set design you can google it). Also, next is also another recommendation and thats metropolis (class difference through metropolis acting as an industrial center).

Next i would recommend the truman show and bc i feel like everyone has already seen it, rewatch it. Again urban planning aspect inspired me for another project where i had to make a comic book (did a horror one with suburbia as the main character).

dogville!!! It’s a bit disturbing i guess but it is lars von trier we are talking about. I recommend! Not spoiling it but they use theater as set design and the way you get the function of the space is through map of the city and interior of houses. SLAY!

playtime :-) very famous but for a good reason. This one you just gotta watch and then you will get it why i said that. I facken love tati… oh and mon oncle!!!!

i’ll just do a fast quick recommendations now because i need to 🤐 because i will spend all day on tumblr dot com okay!

solaris, stalker (tarkovsky), snowpiercer, paprika, red desert, inception, blade runner (2046), the 400 blows, edward scissorhands, american beauty, vivarium, la haine, trafic (1971), cléo from 5 to 7, breathless, the cabinet of dr. calgari, do the right thing, taxi driver, manhattan, her, lost in translation

Oh actually film noir is something i REALLY recommend to dabble in lmfao sorry quick intermission but yeah like sweet smell of success, strangers on train, the big sleep, the big heat, dark passage, double indemnity…

okay i think this is… more than enough. @nosferatism i am tagging you as promised 💋♥️

Solaris loved them.

At first, there were few. They would dance and sing and smile in the company of a small fire they had built, and Solaris would watch from behind the embers. These humans looked so big from down here. They were fascinating, endearing, inspiring, and Solaris found comfort in them.

Few became many. They cheered and told stories and passed down those stories to even tinier humans, and Solaris would watch from the fireplaces warming their dens. These humans looked so happy from back here. They knew each and every one of their names, and Solaris would greet each new name with a sunny day.

Many became incomprehensible. They built their towers and their altars and had their festivals, and Solaris would watch from behind a burning sun. These humans looked so small from up here. They were precious, fleeting things, and Solaris loved them.

These tiny, precious, fleeting things did not need to be told they were there. They knew. They knew. And they loved them for it.

When Solaris sang, the people knew. They felt it in the tender cradle of a sunset whose warmth would linger just a few minutes longer than it would anywhere else. When Solaris sang, the cold seas would warm and calm. When Solaris sang, the shadows and terrors of night would shrink back away from scared children in their beds, and gentle mornings would greet sleepless widowers with honeyed rays and dove song.

When the humans grew greedy for power and paper, Solaris still loved them. When the humans reached for more and still more and were never satiated, Solaris took pity on them. They provided, and provided, and the humans decided this was not enough. When the humans entitled themselves to their generosity and their mercy and their love, Solaris loved them still and wept.

It rained for three days and three nights when the humans took one thing too much.

When Solaris could love them no longer, the humans knew not what they had lost. The seas could not be quelled, the shadows were not without their nightmares, the mornings were not tranquil.

Still they had their festivals for a god they had slain, still they sang and danced and drank and ate and shivered at relentlessly cold nights.

Solaris had loved them. They had loved them. They had loved them.

Mephiles did not know the meaning of love.

Se qualcuno tuttavia è interessato a questi tipi di prodotto, prima di considerare sistemi di questo tipo è bene valutare i seguenti parametri:

Resa dei pannelli, che si può calcolare a spanne prendendo la potenza massima del pannello, dividendola a metà e moltiplicando per 8: un pannello da 100 Watt potrà produrre in una giornata di sole circa 400 Wh.

Ingresso solare della batteria: con molte batterie aumentando il numero dei pannelli non si velocizza la ricarica, proprio perché l’ingresso solare è limitato a poche centinaia di Watt.

Capacità della batteria e tipologia, meglio se al litio-ferro-fosfato (LiFePO4) per questioni di sicurezza

Uscita dell’inverter a 220 Volt: ci sono sistemi economici che non riescono neppure a tener acceso un frigorifero da campo.

400 milioni per il Piano Mattei per l'Africa

Bond e Fondo italiano clima, bond da 100 milioni per le rinnovabili in Africa. La Banque Ouest-Africaine de Développement sottoscrive obbligazione con il fondo gestito da Cdp. L’obiettivo è mobilitare risorse fino a 400 milioni di euro nella regione. Un’obbligazione ibrida da 100 milioni di euro, con l’obiettivo di mobilitarne fino a oltre 400 in progetti di energia rinnovabile e mitigazione del climate change in Africa occidentale. È il nerbo dell’operazione sottoscritta ieri a Roma dalla Banque Ouest-Africaine de Développement (Boad), la banca multilaterale dei Paesi dell’Unione economica e monetaria dell’Africa occidentale, insieme al Fondo italiano per il clima: lo strumento finanziario con una dotazione da 4,2 miliardi di euro gestito da Cassa depositi e prestiti per conto del ministero dell’Ambiente e della sicurezza energetica. Il debutto del «bond ibrido» in euro L’intesa, siglata dal presidente della Boad Serge Ekue alla presenza del vice-ministro degli Esteri Edmondo Cirielli e dell’ad di Cassa Dario Scannapieco, rappresenta una delle prime emissioni del genere sottoscritte da un banca multilaterale, dopo il bond ibrido da 750 milioni di dollari Usa lanciato in gennaio dalla Banca africana di sviluppo. I fondi raccolti saranno destinati a costruzione e riabilitazione delle «infrastrutture per la produzione di energia elettrica da fonti rinnovabili», si legge in una nota, con il triplo obiettivo di diversificare il mix energetico, tagliare le emissioni di anidride carbonica e ridurre i costi dell’elettricità negli otto Paesi nel perimetro dell’Unione monetaria: Benin, Burkina Faso, Costa d’Avorio, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal e Togo. Nell’immediato, l’emissione permetterà alla Boad di «rafforzare la propria struttura di capitale», come ha confermato Ekue rispondendo a una domanda dei giornalisti. Alcuni tecnici installano pannelli in uno dei più grandi parchi solari dell’Africa orientale, distretto di Rwamagana, Ruanda. (Alamy Stock Photo via Reuters) Come era già emerso da una nota, si parla di «migliorare il proprio profilo di rating» e soddisfare «al contempo le esigenze di generazione di elettricità dei Paesi membri». In prospettiva, aggiunge Ekue, l’obiettivo di fare leva sulla dotazione originaria di 100 milioni di euro per mobilitarne «fino a 400» su progetti già fissati sull’agenda della Banca: un effetto di leverage che dovrebbe riversarsi ed essere alimentato da una prima scrematura di iniziative in alcuni Paesi della regione. Ekue: energia prima priorità per la crescita A quanto riferito al Sole 24 Ore, si parla di un primo blocco di quattro iniziative: due progetti di costruzione di centrali fotovoltaiche rispettivamente in Togo e Burkina Faso, per oltre 60 MW di capacità installata, oltre a un progetto elettrificazione di 50 comunità rurali in Mali con impianti solari distribuiti e una ulteriore iniziativa di «rinnovamento» di impianti idrolettrici ed elettrificazione in altre 15 comunità maliane. «L’energia è la priorità numero uno e quella rinnovabile è più economica - dice Ekue - Quindi in questa fase dobbiamo essere anti-ciclici e investire su quello». Oggi, secondo dati della Banca mondiale, l’accesso all’elettricità beneficia il 50% della popolazione dell’Africa occidentale. La leva delle rinnovabili, dice Ekue, può sostenere sia una riduzione della povertà energetica sia quelle crescita economica «duratura» citata ieri anche dal ministro dell’Ambiente Gilberto Pichetto. «L’Africa ha un dono» ha sottolineato Ekue, riferendosi al potenziale di alcune branche delle rinnovabili. Un esempio è il solare: «Il Paese con la più grande esposizione solare al mondo è il Burkina Faso -fa notare - Se esistesse una competizione sarebbe al top. Bisogna sfruttare queste risorse».
