#valuable ring

[heylittleriotact]

Pssssst…

You know Emmrich’s ring? The one with the large stone that he says was his Father’s last gift to him? Yeah, that one.

It’s the only piece of jewelry he owns that isn’t gold: it’s actually something inexpensive like brass or copper. The large, shiny stone? Not a ruby or emerald - not even a less valuable gem like garnet or tourmaline. It’s just coloured glass.

It’s costume jewelry - you couldn’t get a copper for it if you tried to sell it in the market.

But it’s all a traumatized kid had left of his Dad, and despite all of his hard-earned wealth and success as a grown man, he wears that cheap ring that leaves a green band on his skin every single day, no matter what.

Thinking of vlr Akane is so conflicting cuz on one hand I’m so upset that she doesn’t ever get a moment to just rest and enjoy being alive again I’m upset that she just gets deeper and deeper into this role she’s built for herself and she loses her humanity and will never ever be that girl who died in the incinerator. But on the other hand, I need her to get so, so much worse I need her to be so obsessed with perfection she has this unique ability to change the course of history and she will burn everything and everyone to the ground in the blink of an eye if it means she can "reset" and get a perfect timeline and I desperately need her to never be satisfied with anything because really, is there anything that’s worth all the damage she’s caused?

Hello skylanders community! Do y’all remember ring of heroes? And how it shut down in 2021? Well I’m here to announce that I am seeking help to get this game working again! I’ve actually been working on this alone for a while, but some of this stuff is beyond my capabilities. Here’s the situation right now:

It runs on emulator (I’m using memu). Can get to the title screen but then it just keeps loading forever. Yep thats as far as I can get.

I’ve been trying to figure out what the issue is but android bug reports are a foreign language to me. There could be a lot of things going wrong or just one. I have no clue. I have no idea how hard this project will be but I am completely determined.

This project will probably involve first figuring out whatever is going on at the title screen, and then probably having to make some kind of private server for the game. Preferably a self-hostable one. Although I know it needs a server, I have no idea what the server actually does. And I don’t know how to figure it out. So that’s a problem. I’m sure you can tell I’m very in over my head here- but hey, that’s why I’m asking for help!

So if you want to help out, please dm me! This will not be easy, but I believe if we work together we can do it!

just reached shaman village and like. knowing about it beforehand doesn’t do it justice. it is so well executed. it’s so well-executed that i had to put the game away for a bit and pace around the house. elden ring is about generational trauma and the cycle of harm

I honestly don't remember who I saw the link from, but I just found Bret Devereaux's analysis of the Siege of Gondor in the LOTR films and the book (the part most relevant to my Stewardist interests is here, but I read the whole thing once I started!). I don't agree with all his interpretations on the literary level, but they're generally defensible and the military analysis is fascinating.

An excerpt:

In contrast to the film, the book shows Faramir and Denethor’s handling of the battle as nothing short of a masterful execution of defense in depth. At each stage, the army of Mordor is forced to sustain casualties and disorder to surmount one set of defenses, only to be presented with fresh defenses and troops. At the end of it, Denethor’s sortie shatters Mordor’s vanguard and buys the escape of Faramir’s force. Thus for all of their pains and delays, the Army of Mordor faces a Minas Tirith fully defended, having lost the chance to destroy a good part of the army of Gondor in the field.

Re: the cybunny medallion

I really wish I could wear mine places, like it's such a ridiculous accessory and would be fun to wear to like cons and stuff, but it's fucking irreplaceable and I would not be able to deal with it getting lost or stolen so it will probably sit on a display shelf in my house forever :c

Also I think the coin might actually be worth something for the metal alone, I don't think it's pure silver, I can't remember? Idk if it came with like.. a certificate of authenticity or anything, I don't remember it having something like that, but I think even if someone didn't know what it was and took it to a pawn shop or something it would still be worth something so like.. yeah I can't lose that thing (':

But it's not really like a medal, it's a coin inside of a plastic case that is shoved into a hole in a medal, so it's extra risky because if I moved around too much or hit in on something it could just fall out.

BUT I WANT TO WEAR IT SOOOOO BADDDD :'C

Please leave Morgott out of this. He has suffered enough.

You can keep the education majors, that's fine.

Sometimes reading political party's platforms just looks like

1. Reduce diversity

2. Stop kids from being safe at school

3. Make women's lives harder

4. Destroy the environment

And then people still fucking vote for them????

CA DESTINÉE engagement diamond ring, 950 % 。white gold, set with 0.50 to 4.99 carats of round bright cut diamonds, and set with round bright cut diamonds.

i think the canonical reason ryou has the ring is because his dad bought it at a shady stall in egypt. which is a classic origin story for cursed artifacts but like. the millenium items are solid gold. no graverobber worth their salt is going to sell it to some random englishman for a fraction of its value.

so, here's my theory for why that happened: the items are equal parts gold, liquefied flesh, condensed dark magic, and trapped souls. i like to think the last 3 have some effect on the physical properties of the metal.

like, for example, fucking up the density. or preventing it from tarnishing. or, just generally, being a lot more indestructible than gold generally is (gold is, notably, a very soft metal)

basically i like to think that whoever found it went "oh this thing is super fake, bet I can find a gullible tourist though!"

personally i don’t think video games need more features and more random shit to do “oh you can climb and slide and glide in this game. and you can feed your horse and every piece of gear has its own upgrade tree” okay but does that stuff make it more fun idk i love a limited toolkit tbh
