Fixed a major bug that was popping up in the new 'The Hunt' game type for today's Bloodborne Kart dev post!
I'll explain the bug in further detail below the cut, but now that the bug is fixed we have a fully playable game type, so check out a match!
The bug went like this: Randomly during gameplay during this game type, I found that some kart racers would seemingly forget how to drive and just ram into the nearest wall. Using a lot of debugging, I was able to narrow it down to 'the enemy I am targeting does not exist'
Tumblr media
Loong story short I was able to detect when this 'brain dead' state happens & direct them to a new enemy target
Tumblr media
This doesn't fix the source problem, (which is 'why are they targeting a null reference in the first place?') but it does address the issue, which is good enough for me!

I've played through the DLC for TPoF countless times. Eventually, after some time, I unlocked an achievement I had no idea existed - called Real Simp. I completely forgot about it, but when I wanted to play the game again next time, alongside the memelord mode, another one called Simp Mode appeared. I turned it on, and OH MY GOD, IT COMPLETELY CHANGES THE GAMEPLAY! I don't know about other characters, but with Fox, everything is better.
At the beginning, of course, there's the auction where you beg the announcer to take you every time you have the chance. Then you wake up in a bunker, and that's when the real rollercoaster begins. From my experience, I can immediately say that Chat doesn't matter at all, only Fox's points matter. I'll give you a brief walkthrough in case you haven't unlocked it yet.
Warning: spoilers ahead!
Tumblr media
You wake up in the bunker, it's dark, you're tied up. You make noise and catch Fox's attention. Nothing changes here, but your thought process is… significantly different. Someone is in front of me. I focus my gaze and see my favorite beastkin. He looks great, only he wears a mask covering his handsome facial features. Too bad, a great pity.
Fox asks how you feel and if you remember anything. You get several options, including a new one to click on: I meant your bedroom. This leads to a dialogue: You: (sigh), I don't want to be rude, I really appreciate that you fulfilled my request and took me, but I meant your bedroom more than this musty basement. He is silent for a moment, looking at you, then bursts into laughter.
It's the standard text about not worrying because you made the choice to be his co- star. You look around, see cameras, he says no one has ever asked to go with him before. Then you notice the lingerie he chose for you, praise it, and he's happy, standard. For a while, nothing changes; you choose the option to Stay quiet, then Put it back. Fox turns to the cameras and talks to Chat.
This wasn't what I expected from our first night. I'm a little disappointed, you think bitterly.
Let's move on to the foot and there's a slight difference here. Fox: She's gotten nice and wet… What do you think Chat? You (smiling weakly): I'm nice and wet, not only there But Fox rudely interrupts you by sticking his finger into your wound.
Still nothing changes. When you get a choice, you click on Beg him to stop. He cuts you with a knife until you bleed, you cry, standard. At WoundFucker's request, Fox starts choking you, but before you choose the Please, I don't want to die option. He chokes you with a cable until you pass out, then he smashes your face on the concrete, great.
The next game is a gun blowjob and here you have to click Obey confidently, because this time Fox forgot to do the poll. So you do your thing, looking deep into his eyes, he touches himself , nice time. Everyone is impressed by your skills, so you survive, but it's not over yet, because the icing on the cake awaits you. AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Once Fox holds your poor eyelids, a new narrative emerges. I know well what will happen next…. And you can select the Open Mouth option, but it only lasts for a few seconds, so you have to be quick. Once you manage to click it, this appears: I open my mouth and stick out my tongue. He must be surprised by my reaction, because the grip of his claws on my head weakens and I manage to squeeze my eyes shut at the last moment, just before his cum lands all over my face and hair. But not in DAMN EYE! Fox is a bit surprised, ends the stream and you pass out from blood loss.
You wake up in a cell. He speaks to you with ordinary words. You look around and express the hope that now that you've performed so well, Fox will finally take you to his home. He just laughs and states that you now work for him. He's about to leave when you stop him and choose the option: Please stay, I don't want to be alone. Fox tilts his head, with a half-smile, remains silent for a moment, and exits without a word.
Then, you sit in the cell and contemplate. All narratives about the eye are, of course, omitted. You worry that perhaps you didn't try hard enough, considering Ren didn't want to take you home. Since you care so much about him, you decide to give it your all the next time you see each other.
Finally, they come to you. You dress up in a sexy mesh outfit and decide firmly that you'll survive this stream too. When given the option, you choose: Please go easy on me, and Fox likes it. He's about to start when someone asks: What happened to her? And Fox tells and shows everything. Fortunately, your eye is intact.
You move on to the soldering game, and when he asks you, you confidently reply that it's a soldering gun. You're not stupid, duh. Fox burns a heart on your back, and when he shows it on the camera, you comment aloud: You: Wow, it looks great, much better than a tattoo. Fox: I'm glad I fit into your tastes, darling.
Then you let him set up your arm without any protests, standard.
And the sex scene. Not much changes here except when Ren wants to put a tentacle dildo in your mouth, you have a time-limited chance to click: Open your mouth. Probably just to score points with Fox. Of course, while you're at it, you're pushing against him with all your might, in fact, you've been dreaming about him fucking you. It's a bit shame to be in front of the camera and with that collar with needles, but you don't complain, you take what they give you.
After everything, perhaps the biggest change. Because there's no longer an eye operation. Instead, there's a game with a nail gun for questions and answers. The first question is, of course, about Fox's name, and here, a window appears WHERE YOU CAN TYPE YOUR OWN ANSWER! There's no other option; you type REN HANA, all in capital letters, because you're so excited to finally let it out at this moment. He looks at you carefully, averts his gaze, and… shoots!! Shocking. Here, I think there may be several reasons for doing so. Firstly, theoretically,you don't have the right to know his name as MC, and maybe it unsettled him, put him on high alert or something. Or it could be an option that it was a warning shot. Ren didn't want to reveal his identity to Chat. Generally, the matter is a bit strange because if you answer all the questions correctly, he shoots a nail into the middle of our forehead, killing you. Okay. Some sample questions: What is today's date?, Whose father is my most loyal patron? And the question about the last letter of the alphabet, but it's time-limited. If you answer this incorrectly, Fox mocks you. After this wonderful game, you are forced to remove the nail from your body, which is quite painful but concludes the second show. You lose consciousness.
You have various dreams, when a touch wakes you up. Fox strokes your head. The beginning of the conversation is the same, there are no texts about the eye prosthesis because you have that eye. You ask: Why are you helping me? He explains that Chat loves you, but it is picky, and you may not survive for long. You relax and gaze at him, and he points out that it's not very polite. You ask, Who did this to you? He responds in the usual way. But your reaction is different. You: Are you sure? Fox: About what? You: That if it weren't for that person, you would be in exactly the same place doing exactly the same thing as now? Fox measures you with a probing look from half-closed lids and says it's time for him. Then you have the option to click: Hug him. You do it, and he looks at you surprised. You ask him not to leave yet because you don't want to be alone. He also lightly hugs you and strokes your head. After some time, you drift away.
And the ending. THE BEST.
You wake up in a bright room. Apparently, someone's bedroom. You feel an electric collar around your neck. Fox appears, wrapped only in a towel, wet hair, bangs falling on his forehead. He pins you to the wall, his eyes glowing, and says: I decided to keep you for myself. You're mine.

have you seen that theory about vbs not being the original owners of their sekai, and if so what are your thoughts about it?
i stared at this post for a few minutes wondering if you were talking about a post that was written by me and then i checked twitter and a post about RADder being the original owners popped up on my fyp so i'm assuming that's what you're talking about (also i realised that my post is. still in my drafts).
i go full pepe silvia under the cut. uh. sorry.
yeah anyway i do agree with that theory. kinda. The Street SEKAI is mentioned multiple times in the initial cards to have been around for a while, though this could be referring to the fact that SEKAI take time to grow before they manifest fully to the owners (think about School and Wonderland SEKAI, which probably took years to reveal themselves). But it could also imply that someone else contributed to the SEKAI before VBS. I actually talk about the theory briefly in that first linked post, so we'll continue from there.
Tumblr media
so I don't think it was RADder. And yeah basically my only reason is that they're too old. MEIKO was released in 2006, considering the only date mentioned in the game is (Autumn) 2021, this is after An was born, when RADder was already pretty successful. Also we don't know enough about SEKAI physics to confirm this, but Miku seems to be more important than MEIKO so maybe space-time wasn't broken until 2007, and RADder is probably even more successful at that point because of the CDs they recorded when An was a baby.
the SEKAI just doesn't work in the time frame. What we know is that the Street SEKAI was formed by dreams and aspiration. Which is kinda the case for most SEKAI but Street SEKAI was more specifically formed by the passion its creators have for these dreams. and while RADder had big dreams to be top musicians in the world and was passionate about that, they were like realistically never gonna achieve that, but also they were at a point where they were doing very well and were very successful and on their way there. they didn't really need the help from Miku as much as VBS needs it.
Now the way Nagi talks about some things in Light Up the Fire definitely could be read a certain way, especially when she talks about passing on RADder's dream to the kids in the audience at RW, but I still don't think RADder being the original owners entirely works. Honestly the easiest point to argue for that claim is that the Street SEKAI has a very strong attachment to RAD WEEKEND, which on the one hand could be part of the fact that Taiga very clearly never moved past it and never fully processed the death of his sister, but it makes a lot more sense to be a trait tied to the people who aspire to surpass it. also MEIKO outright says that's why the attachment to RW is there in her initial 2*.
However,
I don't think it's entirely out of the question for some of the other side characters to have an influence over the Street SEKAI. As I've mentioned, the SEKAI has a strong attachment to RW, and all of them have the same goal of surpassing the event. Also the 4 older VSingers in the SEKAI (MEIKO, KAITO, Luka, Miku) all takes traits from the members of RADder. Which makes a lot of sense for the main mentor figures in the SEKAI to be based on the people that the kids look up to.
youtube
There is an argument to be made though that they gave up on their dreams to easily. In LUTF, Taiga decides to crush all their dreams and Tatsuya (+ his group), Arata and Kotaro all leave, like, they just give up while (an admittedly very shaken) VBS sticks with their dream.
Tatsuya and EVER leave because all this time they'd been just carrying on until they eventually saw victory, but after taking a beating from Taiga, they realised that there's some things that you won't be able to overcome and give up.
Arata leaves because even though he has skill, Taiga was able to get through to his weakness - Souma. Taiga realises that Arata has experienced a similar loss and grief to he did, and although Arata is trying to carry Souma's dream on his behalf, Taiga knows from experience that Arata is just clinging on to Souma's dream as a way of coping with his loss, rather than actually trying to uphold it (basically he calls him selfish). Arata isn't able to argue back, feels a lot of guilt over that, and leaves.
Kotaro is like. particularly interesting and also most eligible for Miku therapy. He's genuinely really scared and overwhelmed by Taiga's challenge, and gives a poor performance when he has to stand up to him, and straight up gets called shit and weak by Taiga and the audience. Dead serious. Afterwards he literally has a breakdown, calls himself an idiot for not being able to sing and then goes on about how he's shit at everything and apologises because should've given up ages ago because all he's ever done is drag everyone else down before literally running away and DAMN do I hope he gets development on that in the Toya event.
all things considered i'd honestly say that all of them to some degree could've contributed to the formation of the SEKAI, Souma included (honestly he seems the most passionate about it even though he was forced to give up). all of them were passionate about it but then there's always the fact that they all gave up really easily, although they were reluctant. that said, toya did the same thing in the main story so...
Although,
There's still an argument that the Street SEKAI was just formed by the four of VBS, and Kohane was just the final piece of the puzzle that made it reveal itself. Three passionate people who are wholeheartedly devoted to their dream and one ordinary girl who wants to do something that she can dedicate herself to and feel passionate about. inverse MMJ if you will. fate is probably canon in project sekai also like i've mentioned this a few times before so that could play a part in all this.
but come to think of it, the sekai doesn't even reveal itself to Akito and Toya until really late in the main story. supposedly they still heavily influenced it but that's a bit... odd? don't you think? like the only other times that happens is N25 and WxS, wherein the SEKAI was made by only one person and let the others in later, but this was a SEKAI that was supposedly made by all 4 of them. so if you think about it hard enough, could the street sekai maybe do that again?
Also,
Nagi is very important to the VBS story and lore despite the fact that she was very obviously written in much later in development. Going back to the fate thing, at RW she states that since RADder is over and she's over, she now has a new dream, that being that she wants the next generation to be inspired by what they achieved and carry on their legacy. While when she says that, she's talking about An and Akito in the audience at RW, it's stated multiple times that the "next generation" includes all of VBS, and all the side characters. so yeah, the fate thing. I doubt the game will ever do anything about it since they're side characters, but I think it can be argued that they contributed to the SEKAI a bit.
i wrote this in so many increments and in the wrong order and now it lacks any cohesion whatsoever and i have no idea what i'm even saying at this point and i think i sort of proved it and disproved it simultaneously but like. yeah. it's an alright theory. i have some thoughts on it.

How do you cope with your game being cancelled? I am new to the industry and the game I have been working on for a few years was recently cancelled. I was heartbroken. I'm still having trouble getting past it and find it hard to feel the same devotion to my new project as I did for the last one. Does it ever get easier?
Tumblr media
I understand and feel your sense of loss. Putting so much of yourself into a project that died on the vine can feel heartbreaking because it is. You are deeply emotionally invested in it and it was taken from you without warning. What you're going through is grief. It is ok to mourn for your loss.
Tumblr media
That said, it does get easier as you gain more experience and work on more projects. Even if your project had been completed and released, you would still have had to say goodbye to it and moved on to a new project eventually. It is extremely unlikely that you would stay with the same project and team for the rest of your career. I know that I have more I want to do and learn with my career than what I've already done. I find it better to set aside the things which are behind when I am ready and focus on the things which are before. It's great to have done a good job, but there will always be more work to do. I try to focus on what's next - what I need to do at present and how I can improve my own skills so that I can level up and do even more in the future.
Tumblr media
I would also caution you against putting so much of your self into work. I completely understand the desire to make the game the best it can be because I did it too. However, I beseech you to take my advice. You really should take a mental step back, set some boundaries, and keep some emotional distance because you're putting in a lot more loyalty and emotional investment to the project than you'll ever get out from the work or the company. It is your emotions, your heart, your free time, your thinking, and your health that you are offering here. Neither the project, the game's fans, nor the company will ever be able to offer you anything remotely close to that in exchange. The company will not hesitate to cut your job if they decide they need to. The company will always choose its own best interests over yours. The fans will turn on you at a moment's notice if you do something they dislike. The project will continue on its path, whether or not you're there to help it along. Keeping a healthy emotional distance from your work is important for your own long-term mental health.
Tumblr media
This isn't to say you can't feel engaged or passionate about what you do - heaven knows I still do my best to make the game I'm working on the best it can be. However, I change the framing - it isn't all about the project I'm working on, but about me and my work. I'm doing what I do because I'm really good at it. I'm doing this because it's helping me level up my own skills. I look back at my path here and see how I have grown into a better designer, better programmer, better game developer over time, which means I will have even more to bring to the next project I get to work on. I encourage you to find a framing that puts your focus on you and your career. Work through your grief and take all the time you need to. Everyone grieves at a different pace. Once you're ready, find something to motivate you on your current project. If you can't, that's ok - maybe it's time to look elsewhere for a new project to work on. Just remember - the project has a whole hierarchy of executives, leads, and developers to advocate for it. If you don't advocate for yourself and your career, no one will.
I wish you the best of luck and encourage you to check in with me later. I hope things work out for you.

Do you ever feel isolated when you enjoy something and can see the value in a piece of media, but people online outright do not understand it at all, or even care to try to understand it to the point that they effectively scorn you indirectly every time they insult that work, and you can't do anything about it because you'd get labeled as overthinking things and "needing better taste", even though you aren't some mindless drone?
And that you wish they'd give that media a proper chance and actually making the effort to recognize your point of view instead of dismissing it because they only care about surface level impressions and listening to popular opinion?
i wouldn't say i ever felt isolated bc i do enjoy solitude and silence can be incredibly comforting ( tho this is probably more of a cultural thing rather than a me thing, specifically, but if the shoe fits ) so like. isolation isn't really a negative feeling to me bc it's kind of my starting point? but i have definitely been there where i want to see what other people are thinking about something i like, and then letting the negativity get to me and affect my own enjoyment of it.
and then i learned two things about myself: 1. despite what my brain sometimes likes to tell me, i do, in fact, like being happy, and 2. i'm that spiteful that like hell am i going to let other people ruin my fun. like. why care about "better taste" when what's really important is if you find enjoyment out of your choice of media? it's called entertainment for a reason. if i'm entertained then job well done. if not, it wasn't meant for me, and i move on. simple as that.
anyway, to prevent myself from making myself miserable, i made myself my own place where i can share my thoughts and art and all that stuff, and that's. this blog. i don't wander far from here, i filter tags and words like there's no limit ( i certainly hope there isn't lol ) and the block button is never too far. the education system here helped ensure that i came out with some critical thinking skills so i don't need other people to tell me how to feel about this and that; different perspectives are nice and all but when people start acting like only their or the popular opinion is all that matters i'm like. who are you people lol
anyway. find your happiness in cultivating your own space and not giving a damn about what other people think. i know it's easier said than done bc i've been there, but it's time better spent than trying to argue with and change minds of people who have no intention of doing so ( and really, that's their right, they don't need to like everything in the world or even give it a chance if they don't want to, and they're free to give their opinions just like you and i are, be it the same opinion or not )
sorry if this makes no sense. it's been a long day and i'm very tired, so i might have rambled a bit and completely missed the point. i guess what i'm trying to say that it's good to learn to recognize when a conversation isn't going anywhere ( for whatever reason ) and just cut your losses instead of sticking around just to walk into a brick wall over and over again.
and also prioritize your own happiness and well-being by finding or creating yourself a place where you don't feel that way.

I love your writing!!! I was hoping you'd write my request about Luca comforting your character Eva after a miscarriage?? If you are comfortable writing something like this that is. If not it's ok too. Tyia!
The empty nursery
Cw: miscarriage, loss of a child, grief
Gif by @twvstedsouls
Tumblr media
“I was thinking Felicidad if it’s a girl.” The witch put a ring on a necklace and held it over her belly.
She was barely showing and already she had begun making plans.
“Could be a boy you know.” He wants to stay and indulge her, but he doesn’t want the risk of running late again.
While the company was mostly a front, her family was putting great effort into making it a real company.
“Have you seen my wedding ring, tesoro?” It isn’t where he always leaves it at night, not put away with the rest of their things and he isn’t surprised to see it dangling over her belly.
“Yes. Its doing something important right now.” She answered as she offered the necklace to him. “Would you do the honors, Luca?”
“You will make me late to work again.” He says as he comes to sit on the bed and takes the necklace from her.
“If it moves in circles, it’s a girl, if it moves back and forth it’s a boy.” Eva explained as they waited for the ring to move.
It moves slightly and moves back and forth.
A boy.
“Leonardo.” He says surprising her. Most men would name their sons after themselves, but Luca isn’t most men.
Tumblr media
In six months, he would be a father.
In six months, he would have to update his will to include his newborn son.
Leonardo Changretta Smith, two last names as it’s custom in Mexico.
“Lucky bastard, a boy on the first try.” Matteo had two daughters before Stefania finally gave him little Alessandro last year.
The telephone in his office begins to ring and he hopes whatever it is will be quick.
“Is this the office of Mr. Luca Changretta?” the calm and steady voice asks and instantly her knows it is unwelcome news, the only time a nurse calls you is for bad news.
“Yes, this is he. How can I be of service to you?” Luca asks hoping they won’t try to distract him with small talk.
“Your wife, Mrs. Changretta suffered a fall today and had to be admitted to our hospital---” the nurse begins, and he cuts her off.
“Which hospital?” he demands and signals for Matteo to take over for today.
Luca can’t seem to get there fast enough; he is still running when he is being shown to her in the room they had her in.
“What happened to her, is she hurt?” he asks the doctor waiting for him outside the door.
“She fainted, a simple fainting spell, but I am afraid there was nothing we could do to save the baby.” The doctor answered almost as if he could understand the pain these words brought. “I am very sorry for your loss, sir.”
Eva had lost their child.
Just this morning they had discovered they would have a son, a son they had named and loved even before he was born and now, he would never be.
“Does she know?” he is not prone to emotion, but Luca can’t help but choke on the words.
Eva stares at the windows and refuses to even look at him. Not when he moves the chair as close to her bed as can, not when he pressed a kiss to the side of her temple and not when he takes her hand in his to comfort her.
“I’m sorry, Evuccia, will have more, I promise you.” He said softly.
She hid it well, but he could feel her grief.
She never cries loudly; Eva barely cries at all. Got used to hiding her sorrow so much, her own body has forgotten how it works.
“But we will never have him.”
Tumblr media
She comes home the next day, but she is not the same woman he left after breakfast yesterday.
Yesterday she had been filled with life and now she is empty.
Yesterday she had seen her little Leo fit in the hand of the midwives as her body expelled him from inside her.
Yesterday she had set out to begin decorating a nursery for the perfect baby boy she’d have.
Eva had already chosen the theme, how she would remodel the room and find a way to get a skilled woodworker to make a toy ship like the one she used to have as a girl.
And now that will never happen.
She could have a thousand little boys with Luca’s eyes and smile, but they will never be Leonardo. She will never be able to hold him or see him grow or hear his first laugh.
Eventually the bleeding stops and her body has seemed to have healed, but her heart hasn’t.
Days turns to months and Eva hates how people want her to try again because somehow that will make it better.
Eva hates the pity and those stupid sayings like God wanted another angel. She hates that women aren’t supposed to even acknowledge their pain because you weren’t supposed to be so attached to something not yet born.
Luca had made it worse by having the housekeeper just lock up the empty nursery so she won’t have to see it.
Easier to move on if you can’t see it.
But that isn’t her way, her way is to be confronted with it, to know it happened and to live with it.
This morning Eva steels herself and goes into the nursery.
It’s empty, with only a few dressers and the half-assembled crib that had arrived that day.
Even in its emptiness it hurt her like knife to her heart.
Eva falls to her knees and for the first time in ages, lets herself grieve.
“It wasn’t your fault, Evuccia,” she doesn’t hear or feel him come in ,its only when he comes and holds her on the dusty rug as she cries . “These accidents happen.”
Eventually it will pass, she knows this, there will be good days and bad ones, but it will pass.
Eventually they will have their happiness back.

Andreas talking to Bloom and telling her she's got to give up thinking she can save everyone because that's exactly what led him to disaster.
Andreas found Bloom sat by the strip of water that ran the length of the training field. It was late and he should tell her off for being out after curfew but she was Rosalind's new favourite and he remembered the advantages that brought onto too well. So instead of hauling her up and shooing her inside he sat down beside her and listened to the nocturnal wildlife going about their nightly business.
"You might look like Sky but you don't move like him. So if you're trying to trick me into telling you something it's not going to work." Bloom voice sounded different to how Andreas had heard it before, reedy and vulnerable as if she'd been crying.
"Rosalind been telling you that only you have the ability to save people? She had a similar line for me, and one for Ben and one for Farah. Fuck knows what she said to Saul but he's certainly not the social butterfly he used to be." Andreas laid on his back and worked to stretch out one of the muscles which had been pulling all day. He either had a muscle knot there or had somehow strained it. The tension pulled free and he flopped in relief.
"She thinks I can save the otherworld." Bloom looked over at him with a lost expression that reminded him of his own little Beatrix.
He leaned himself up onto one elbow and tried to work out what would bring her the most comfort, encouragement that she could do it, or some unpleasant truthes. He'd got the former when looking back he'd needed the latter, who he decided to give that one a go.
"Then she's setting you up for failure, and you're going to break when it all comes tumbling down." Andreas rolled onto his back and looked up at the night sky. "Just like I did. Just like Farah did. Just like Ben did. Just like-actually no Saul seems to have made complete peace with it because he's so fucking adaptable."
"Miss Dowling wasn't broken," Bloom, loyal to the end, defended.
"Course she was, we all were by the ones we couldn't save, and I'm not talking Aster Dell. That was a whole other thing of misinformation and loss of nerve and soul deep exhaustion. If you want the lesson from that, it's don't keep important information to yourself and don't push your unit without rest for months." Andreas has after all chosen to throw himself on Saul's sword rather than try and puzzle out what was actually going on, which in hindsight was an extremely telling move of his mental state.
"Who are you talking about?" Bloom asked.
"Your friends who have convinced themselves that you'll safe them, that your power and skill can overcome all dangers. And then you watch as they die in front of you, the hope leaving their eyes because somehow even at the end they still believed you'd be able to save them from the monster that ran them through." Andreas breathed in deeply filling his lungs with the cool night air to drive away the sense memory of blood coating the inside of his nose. "Don't let her turn you into a hero Bloom. Don't be her monster either or I'll be out of a job and fuck knows I've got nothing else going for me."
"Andreas? There are still people who care about you." Oh she had a heart of gold this one, wanting to save him when Andreas had doomed himself a long long time ago.
"Don't worry about me. Just don't let them put you on a pedestal, Bloom, don't let them convince themselves you're some kind of saviour." Andreas sat up slowly and hunched over his knees. He could still see their desperate, hopeful faces that everything Rosalind had led them to believe was true and he could lead them to safety by her side. He remembered them being cut down, one by one as distractions for the burned ones he was helping her take out. "I must prefer the role of monster. Seeing hatred in distrust in their eyes is a lot easier to bear than the hope going out of them." Andreas touched Bloom's back softly.
"What should I do?" Bloom asked. "I don't want to be this mythical dragon flame sent to save the otherworld."
"Then don't isolate yourself, trust your friends to find other solutions and work as a team. My happiest moments were when it was just the battalion and we had each others backs. No heros, no monsters, just the fight and the celebration of being alive afterwards." Andreas got up. "And also it's after curfew, so go to bed, young lady."
Bloom pulled herself to a feet with a thoughtful expression as she walked back to her suite. Andreas just hoped it would be enough to keep her from taking the world on her shoulders.

Meta: What do you associate with your character (like, songs, images, troupes, ect)?
//META
[It's long so I'll just put it under the cut for those interested. WARNING: Purple prose]
When I think of Parker, I think of gray Henley shirts where the sleeves are pushed up to the elbows. - I think of metacarpals protruding from the skin as the fingers they belong to perform the most graceful and dexterous of movements. - I think of a black void space, a blue morpho butterfly pinned in a solitary display on a wall dedicated to it with nothing else adorning its off-yellow paint, with a single spotlight illuminating it from below and creating a chiaroscuro effect above it. - I think of peering into a lonely, dark body of bayou water and seeing the striking eyes of a gator that has been staring at you for an indeterminate amount of time, waiting until you got too close before it latches onto you; you didn't even know it was there. - I think of a hands that are so unintentionally strong with things they hold that can't handle the pressure of their grip being taught not to touch anything so they don't. But when they do, after however long it's been, it's the most gentle, careful thing that could exist. - I think of a man who would never cry over something as important as a familial loss being moved to tears when a particularly beautiful piece of music touches his soul.
There are a few specific songs I can write Parker to regardless of the mood: - The Walls are Listening (Cliff) / from OFF - The Imitation Game (Main Theme) - Somnolence by Arcana - Juroimoh Mutation by Kevin Penkin
But otherwise so long as it's a minor key instrumental and it gives spooky/offputting vibes, they're good Parker vibes. Think Insidious, a Plague Tale, Silent Hill or M. Night Shyamalan scores.
I have some tropes (from TVTropes because that's where I first learned about them from lol) associated with him, too! - Ambiguous Disorder - Brutal Honesty - Creepy Monotone - Doing it for the Art - Genius Bruiser - The Quiet One - No Social Skills - Because You were Nice to Me There are others but that's the general gist.

Tumblr media
Just like any industry, the healthcare industry has notable hierarchies. It's vital that hierarchies exist so society has a way of knowing what competency level we all are at.

Tweet This Most people have the ambition to climb the career ladder by improving their skills and responsibilities. But there are certain ways to go about it in every type of industry. Sometimes in the world of business and trade, all you need is a few years of experience to go from a junior role to a middle management position. For the healthcare industry, you specifically need to go the academic route. The right-hand woman Without nurses, there wouldn’t be a healthcare industry. Doctors and surgeons are the most important from a patient's point of view, but their nurse is the unsung hero. They are the right-hand person for both surgeons and doctors. However, it's only the specifically qualified nurses that work closely with them. If you would like to go into a more surgical position or perhaps an administrative area, then a Masters in Nursing is something you require. Specialist educational entities like the Grand Canyon University nursing offer exactly this kind of degree. It's based in Phoenix Arizona but the degree is done completely online. If you’re already a nurse and work full-time, this is great as you can learn when you have the time and do so from home. When you have a Masters in Nursing, you can move on to being a theater nurse, preparing patients for surgery and directly helping the surgeon in conducting operations on patients. Experience in tough environments If you’re a healthcare professional, you’ll know that being able to work in incredibly pressure-filled environments is highly in your favor. Every hospital or doctor’s surgery desperately wants healthcare professionals that can work under stress. To cut waiting times down, quickly file patient records and also help patients receive the best service possible under time constraints, are all vital and highly respected skills. However, in order to get such experience you need to be hired in a workplace where the working day is often hectic. "The increasing demand and competitive salaries make the healthcare sector a very appealing one for a lot of people. If this is a career path you are interested in, you may be feeling a bit of a loss regarding where to start. After all, there are so many healthcare jobs to choose from, and it can be challenging to determine the best one for you." - Finding Your Career in the Medical Field On the other hand, you can volunteer to go abroad to places where these conditions are normal, such as on the continent of Africa, South America, and East Asia. Places in the Middle East are also quite popular places for nurses, doctors, and surgeons who want more experience. A suture practice kit is an excellent way for a medical student to learn and perfect the skills of suturing. With this kit, students can gain hands-on experience and develop perspective into the entire process of wound closure and have confidence from practising the specific knot-tying moves to familiarising themselves with the tools used in actual procedures, suture practice kits set aspiring medical professionals up for successful future operations. Whether enjoyed alone or in a group setting, these kits make it easy to get started on learning fundamental medical skills with the proper guidance and equipment. If you would like to gain more experience so you can play a more impactful role in the healthcare industry, sign up with volunteering and charity organizations that need healthcare professionals in impoverished nations. If you would like to be a leading nurse, then a Masters in Nursing is definitely your shortcut into such a role. Read the full article

State of the Project Address
My fellow family,
It was maybe November or December whence the project began. A custom desk and cabinetry was offered as a “Christmas” gift. It was a Christmas gift in that it was at least started prior to said holiday but after my dearest wife’s birthday. I state the initial scope of this project knowing that the end goal has since been announced to me as a “library” and verily I am trying to make good on the initial promise before moving to the important extras. You have been exceedingly patient and tolerant of the noise, the dust and the pace of the work. Unless of course PBS Kids or Disney+ was on while I was working.
The current state has the top with a first stain coat, and the lower cabinetry shelving installed. One would almost think an amateur could finish a project of such scale considering how it almost all looks intentional in form, fit and function. One of the additional originally unplanned for middle shelves is mounted as well (and there will be a reckoning should any spry child think to climb upon it!) I share this with you to show you that, despite the loss of laborers, our commitment to the goal is still there.
I share this with you knowing that there are still challenges to come. Particularly if I am to end up mounting the 4’ middle shelf without assistance at the selected 11” level. I also am nervous about making the cabinet doors as the saw I own is still fenceless and I cut as straight as my wife’s eldest brother. But I will deliver the original promise aand then figure out how the upper shelving will work when I struggle to find any and all studs in this house.
Once again I thank you my dear family for your patience as I learn these skills. And I ask you to continue to bear with me in patience as I try to get this done so we can all return the lower living area to some sort of “normal” though the current mess level may actually be less than what awaits it.
Respectfully,
Dad/Husband

How to Know When to Walk Away From a Poker Game
Poker is a game that can be enjoyed by all types of people. Whether you’re a casual player or a professional, there’s something to love about this classic table game. However, like many things in life, poker isn’t without its risks. And if you don’t know when to walk away from the table, you may find yourself losing more than just your money. In this article, we will discuss how to know when to walk away from a Poker Reviews game and what factors should help you make that decision. From understanding your own playing style to recognizing when you’ve been played for profit, read on to learn everything you need to know to win your next session.
Recognize when you’re losing
If you aren't winning or losing at the poker table, it may be time to walk away. You might have a better chance of winning if you move on to another game. Here are four ways to tell when you're losing:
1. You're not making any real progress.
If you're not making any real progress in the game, it might be time to leave. Unless you have an excellent hand and there's a very good chance of winning, it might be best to move on to another game. If you're just trying to hold your own and don't feel like you're making much progress, stick around until later rounds when better players are likely out of the competition.
2. The other players are taking advantage of your poor play.
If other players are taking advantage of your poor play, it might be time to leave the table. This is usually a sign that it's not worth your time to stay in the game. Instead, try playing against more skilled opponents or moving on to another game where there is less competition.
3. You're losing money consistently even though your hands seem playable at first glance.
Losing money consistently even though your hands seem playable at first glance can be a sign that you're losing the game. Keep an eye on how much money you're spending each round and make sure that the stakes are high enough for you to actually win if you enter the hand with a playable hand (for
Know when to fold
There are times when it is better to walk away from a poker game. There are many factors that go into this decision, but the most important thing to remember is that you need to weigh your options before making a decision. Here are some things to think about when deciding whether or not to fold:
-Is the other player too good for you? If you are playing against someone who is significantly better than you, it might be best to fold.
-Are you losing badly? If you are losing consistently and cannot seem to turn the tables, it might be time to call it quits. You do not want to keep playing if doing so only means that you will end up with even more losses.
-Do you have any chance of winning? Sometimes, simply leaving a bad situation can help improve your chances of winning in the future. If there is no realistic chance of winning, then it might be best just to cut your losses and move on.
-Can the game still be fun? Sometimes walking away from a bad situation can actually make it more enjoyable in the long run. If quitting feels like a punishment rather than an escape, then consider staying put. However, if quitting feels like an act of resignation rather than defiance, then going ahead with your plan may be the right thing to do.
When to walk away
When to walk away from a poker game can be a difficult question to answer. There are many factors that need to be considered, such as the stakes involved, how long the game has been going on and whether or not you think you can still win. Here are four tips to help you decide when it is time to call it quits:
1. Know Your Stakes
The first step in determining when it is time to walk away is knowing your stakes. If you are playing for small stakes, then quitting may not be a big deal, but if the game has become more expensive or important, then it may be worth considering your options. Similarly, if you are playing with someone who you know is better than you, it may be in your best interest to call it quits before getting crushed.
2. Get a Better Understanding of the Game
If the stakes have become too high or if the other player appears too good to beat, it may be time to bail out. However, if you feel like you have a chance of winning even if you stay in the game, take some time to understand what is going on around you and make adjustments accordingly. This will help ensure that you don't get steamrolled by an opponent who knows what they're doing.
3. Determine Whether You Can Still Win
Once you have decided that it is time to leave the table, determine whether or not you think that you can still win against the other player
Conclusion
When you're playing Online Poker , it's always important to know when to walk away. You don't want to lose money on a hand by sticking around and trying to win it back; that's not how gambling works. If you're feeling like the odds are too stacked against you, it might be time to call it quits and head home. However, there are times when you can still try your luck and salvage what little value is left in the pot. Just remember: never gamble more than you can afford to lose!

Global Financial Solutions Asia Achieve Success In The Forex Market Through These Wonderful Tips
Global Financial Solutions Asia Qualified tips provider. Trading in foreign currencies on the forex market may seem like a great way to get rich quickly, but many beginning traders soon find themselves falling prey to common mistakes. Don't share their fate. Instead, by applying a few basic ideas that you will learn in this article, you can enjoy success and reap steady profits.
Before embarking on the turbulent waters of the Forex market you should be certain about your goals and limitations. How much do you want to make? How much are you willing to risk? These are questions to which you should have firm, well-defined answers long before you dip your toes into the Forex market.
Don't keep pouring money into an account that keeps losing money; try to make your account grow through profits from the trades you are making. Small but steady gains are a better long-term recipe for success than risky trading of large sums. To succeed, you'll need to know when to be cautious and when to cut your losses and stop trading.
When trading with a broker, it is important that you choose an account package that fits your expectations, as well as, your knowledge level. Meeting with your broker and deciding what is the best move can be tricky, so always go with the lowest leverage when just starting out.
Understand what position sizing is and use it. Stop loss is not your only tool for minimizing risk. By adjusting your position size you can use it to hit a reasonable stop loss distance as well. Take some time to learn the differences between stop loss and position sizing.
To protect yourself from fraud, thoroughly research any Forex trader. Forex scams are plentiful, and taking the time to check people out can protect your money. If you're pressed for time, you can do a quick search of the trader and see what kind of commentary you find. If you see negative commentary or if the trader is not being discussed, you should avoid them.
High rewards for minimal risk is what every Forex trader is looking for. Be wary of fraud companies and scam artists that prey on this desire, though. There are limits to the possibilities in Forex, and no trader can generate profits without taking risks. Once a new trader gets a feel for the market he or she will have a better nose for the "too good to be true" scams.
A good forex trading tip is to not fight the current market trends if you're a beginner. Going with the current trends can give you some peace of mind. If you decide to trade against the trends, you better be well informed or else you're taking a very big gamble.
Do not pressure yourself in to trading on your Forex when you are seeing no results. Many people make bad decisions when they do not understand where something is going. Sometimes it is best to do nothing. It is okay to just stay out of something you cannot get a good feel for.
When you are losing trades, never add more positions to that trade. Conversely, you will want to be sure to always add more positions to a winning trade. You could easily lose control of losing trades and have it turn in to a big forex losing streak. Remember to stop and take a breath before making your next move.
When setting up your forex trading platform, avoid cluttering the space with too many indicators. All of the price action is happening right in front of you on the screen. Having too many indicators can work against you, becoming confusing and causing you to lose focus. Choose two indicators that help you the most, and keep your screen simple and clean.
Global Financial Solutions Asia Skilled tips provider. Every Forex pair has its own personality characteristics. Have the patience to trade only one currency pair at a time, and make sure you learn all about it. Stay up on the news about this pair, watching how it reacts to current events and forecasts of economic activity. Each currency pair has so many differences, and trading more than one could set you up for disaster.
When venturing into Forex trading, start modestly in terms of your financial commitment. You can begin by opening a mini account which will keep your liability to an absolute minim. This is a must if you are a rank beginner. Essentially, the mini account should be viewed as tuition in your first Forex trading course.
Forex trading rates can vary from minute to minute. You can expect trading to go on twenty four hours per day except on weekends and holidays. Basically, if a bank is open, so is the forex game. This allows you to trade and get what you want around the clock for the most part.
Use leverage carefully. Leverage can quickly make you large amounts of money, but if the market swings the other direction, it can cause you to lose large amounts of money just as quickly. Knowing your limits when it comes to leverage is important, and should be based on how much experience you have in the market.
Be sure to always have a notebook on hand. You never know when you will run across useful market information, so this way you will always be prepared to record such tidbits. It can also be used to keep track of your progress. You can always look back to see if what you've learned is accurate.

When trading in the foreign exchange market, it's important to cut your losses short as soon as they occur. It's tempting to let losses run in the hopes of recouping some of what you've lost, but this will rarely pan out. Sell at a point that you deem an acceptable risk, and move on.
A great forex trading tip is to be leery of forex robots and similar products. Many naive traders eagerly purchase these products thinking they'll make great gains, but they never do. If the inventors of these great products believed in them so much, why aren't they using them to get rich themselves?

However, remember that there is a curve to learning any new field. The more you learn about it, the better equipped you will be to make the right choices.

Place your trades with the dominant trend and set stops with enough margin to ride out a trade without getting prematurely stopped out. Develop the courage to let your profits develop and run, and get out of a position quickly to cut your losses.
The most glamorous from of Forex trading is day trading. Before deciding if Forex day trading is for you, make sure you have enough funds to trade, a super fast computer, an Internet connection and the ability to monitor markets 24/7 (as they never stop). It's also important to make sure you have the knowledge need to work in such a volatile, fast paced arena.
You cannot "follow your gut" in Forex trading and expect to be successful. Set up an exacting plan and keep in mind the amount you stand to lose on every deal. Just as in gambling, you should set strict limits; however, with Forex, you should set both a profit limit and a loss limit. When you hit either of your limits, you should stop.
Pip cupid Qualified tips provider.In order to maintain a focused, objective approach to FOREX trading, you must first accept the fact that you will have losses, especially if you are a beginner trader. Losses are inevitable, but how you handle these losses is what keeps you in the "game" - or not. Accept your mistakes, but strive to learn from them.
Resist the temptation to spread out your trades. Trade within one currency pair so you can really come to know the ups and downs of that market. Focusing on one, or maybe two pairs, is also less confusing and risky than doing more. You reduce the chance of getting too stressed trying to keep all the information straight.
Keep your emotions in check when trading Forex. Excitement, anger, greed, panic, euphoria and fear should not factor into your trading decisions in any way. However, humans will be human, and traders need to learn how to accept their emotions and yet keep them out of their trading. Starting with small trading amounts helps you focus more on a systematic trading strategy without letting your trading become overrun with emotions.
You need to learn how to look for support and resistance in the chart. This is very important for forex trading because the price moves based on these two things. So once you will understand how to read this, you will start to understand how the prices will be moving and you will be able to make better investments.
Stack your trades. When a trade is trending down and you are showing a loss, add more to the trade. This ensures that when the currency starts trending up you will make more money than if you only had one set at one price. This also allows you to take a loss on the first trade while making profit overall.
Stay on top of forex related news by checking several news sources. Twitter, although not a traditional news outlet, can be an excellent source of up to date information. Check news sources in several different countries. U.S. traders especially need to pay attention to European, Asian, and British news sources.
