been playing tsubasa quite alot Love the game Deeply and find myself constantly coming back to new hero just randomly doing routes and while the mode is plenty of fun i think unfortunately the mode could be more with a the kind of replayablity that lets you revel in the player you created. This of course is coming from a gripe of mine where the mode builds you up and up and just when your player is finally established and reaches a point where they are fun to use the mode just ends. and i get it from here I SHOULD go make a team and I SHOULD go play online but online doesn't feel fun for two reasons; The first being the use of created players in games with the unfortunate truth being most created are either meant to rip through goalies with twin shots/super shots or blast through them with critical goals (myself being guilty of the latter) while i get the counterplay to this issue of mine i don't want to enforce it and the second reason being the connection to an opponent can be so unstable causing alot of odd glitches and "quirky" turnovers. which brings me right back to new hero where i play through and lament the detail that im building these players for no real reason. That being said there was one other reason i personally think there should be a new game + and that's unlocks i think its important to decide what it is you want in a route as well as how you will build your player and i get thats the "design philosophy" at play when you begin a route and chose who's moves you want but why not just allow us to unlock them all while simultaneously locking our ability to gain ability points to upgrade the player further. Because at the end of the day even if you could unlock everything it just allows you to experiment with a already made player. Alternatively by starting ng+ it could just lock that player from online play if the concern was fairness. But lets be honest here the concern cant be fairness of custom players because conceptually and in practice custom players weren't fair to begin with. All in all this is just a random thread im starting cause im curious if im alone in a line of thinking with the concept of a new game +

i heard about they are running under the same property with gorman crossing and kensington park, but this one looks newer. I just can’t find any informations on the internet about the townhomes, There are some reviews on google reviews but most of ‘them are only starts. if anybody have lived here before would you mind to share some information about this townhomes with me? thank you!

Putting a path in down the side of my house, 20m of 2xwide patio slabs with sleepers for edging. Laid on a full bed of sharp sand & cement. Bought a cement mixer and doing in stages on weekends. Each time I finish for the day I rinse out the mixer but then i don’t know what to do with this watery cementy waste. Someone told me to pour into a wheelbarrow, to use the next week. But this has gradually leaked out and is killing the plants and tree next to where I’ve setup! Obvs can’t just chuck it in a drain. How do people reuse or dispose? My mixer area now looks like a building site.

Hi everyone,
This is my first ever PC build and am just looking for some recommendations and comments on a particular build I have put together. https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/7LmG9r
Would like to know a couple of things
- Mainly looking as a gaming computer, but will also do general stuff (web browsing, study but with the potential of maybe also streaming, are these components adequate enough?
- Is the CPU overkill?, was looking at putting a Ryzen 7 5800x instead but changed it to the Ryzen 7 7770x
- Is the Radeon 6700XT good enough? Is there a better card within the similar price range? I know I won't be getting 4K, but hoping for reasonable 1440p graphics.
​
All criticisms, changes and additions to my build are all welcome, budget wise I was looking around a $1500 build but am willing to stretch it to the around $2000 mark.
Thanks

Hi,
I want to build TrueNAS Core system, but I'm really struggling with hardware choices, so any help would be appreciated!
Use case:
NAS and nothing else.
Home usage, max 5 different users. (99% of time 1-2 users simultaneously at this point)
Primarily a media server, but also storage for family photos and videos etc.
​
What I want:
Rock solid system
Server grade hardware
IPMI
ECC RAM
10Gbit NIC (not actually needed, but why not)
Possibility to fill up whole 24-bay server if needed.
Encrypted pool/drives
Energy efficient as possible
​
What I already have:
24-bay 4U rack case
Drives for 6 wide Z2 pool
​
Budget:
No actual budget, but let's say that 1000€ for MB+CPU+RAM (new or used)
​
I have been watching few supermicro and asrock rack options with embedded epyc or atom, but availability in EU is not very good.
What hardware would you buy with these specs?

Hi, for some time now I've been unable to connect my Google account in Gnome Online account.
This bug was followed by the fact that Geary (that I've now uninstalled) would open itself on login and I would get a pop-up notification saying "Geary is ready".
I've tried multiple time to login by disabling 2FA on my Google account without success, I tried to reinstall Seahorse which didn't work either.
Another lead : this guy seems to have a problem looking like mine concerning Mesa graphics driver, this might be linked with the fact that for some time now, I've been unable to update the following 9 packages :
libegl-mesa0, libgbm1, libgl1-mesa-dri, libglapi-mesa, libglx-mesa0, libgoa-backend-1.0-1, mesa-va-drivers, mesa-vdpau-drivers, mesa-vulkan-drivers
By "being unable to update" I mean that those packages seem to be never updating after each sudo apt full-upgrade run
Here's the full rundown when I try to update those packages :

I've tried about all I can for now and nothing seems to be working, that's making me kinda desperate for help and I hope that if someone's got the answer, He could kindly share it with me.
Thanks ! (sorry for the potential grammar and spelling error english isn't my native language)

Hi guys! I've just build a new pc, first of all here is my specs:
ASUS ROG STRIX B760-F GAMING WIFI 32GB 6000MHz DDR5 RAM Kingston Fury Beast RGB CL40 (2x16GB) (KF560C40BBAK2-32) Intel Core i5-13600K 3.5GHz Socket 1700 Asus ROG Ryuo 240 ASUS ROG Strix 1000W 80+ Gold Be Quiet Pure Base 500 FX ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING And a Kingston 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD Asus TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B
So long story short when the PC is idle or I just surfing on the net, everything is fine and smooth. Whenever I launch a game (I usually play with car simulatort ACC, Iracing) and after 1-20 minutes my monitor has no signal to pc. It's just continue with stand by mode, however it's not resume the picture. I have audio when it's turn off, I can hear the cars and Discord too. I have a fresh Windows on it, just reinstall after I completed the build. I have the latest updates on graphics drivers too. I've reinstalled the graphics card. But it's still no signal while playing games. I've runned a stress test and after 25 minutes it was good. No signal message popping on games only, I dunno why. I think it's not overheating because when I play it stays on 78-79 degrees. The fan of the gpu still working while I have black screen.
So it is what it is, could you guys please help me how can I figure it out?

*It seems like this link doesn't work on all platforms. One of the mods will usually come by and add a link to the current DD in the comments.
Welcome to our new Fanfic Focus series.
This series will give us a chance to have a deeper dive into various genres, tropes and AUs (alternative universes). It will be an opportunity for those who already read and write in this area of fanfiction to discuss what they like, aspects that don't work for them, and also for those who are interested to learn a bit more about it. Of course, everyone is encouraged to share their recs for fics that showcase these categories of fics!
Each post will have a new topic to discuss and share, which will be a mix of genres, tropes and AUs. A new topic will be posted on Tuesdays and Sundays.
Please enter this discussion with an open mind. If you do not like the theme, trope or AU that is being discussed, then this post is not for you. You don't need to let us know that the topic isn't for you - please wait for another topic that you're interested in to participate if this is the case. This series is to bring together people who like to read and write this theme, and those who want to discuss it, are interested in learning more about it, or wanting some recs to test out or dive into.
The Discussion:
You are welcome to approach the discussion in any way you see fit, which can include any of the following aspects:

• Discussion of the theme itself:
  • Things you enjoy seeing when looking for fics or writing fics;
  • Fandoms that the theme is commonly adopted in, or certain fandom spins on the theme;
  • Interesting trends you've seen in fics containing that theme;
  • Characters that inspire you with the topic;
  • Coming from the perspective of someone who is already interested or reads/writes for this theme, are there aspects that you aren't as sure about or think could be done better; or
  • Why you gravitate towards fics containing these themes.
• Tips for writing fics with this theme, how you personally approached doing so, and conversely, requests for advice in how to do so;
• Recommendations for fics (or chapters of fics) that fit the theme and why they do;
• Questions about popular takes or writing styles, or anything that you're unsure about.

The Rules:

• For recs, please state the Fandom Rating Any Applicable Content Warnings Link to fic at the top of your comment! Links with no information on Fandom and/or Warnings will be removed. Please see the subreddit rules on content restrictions if you're unsure.
• Self-promotion is allowed if the commenter is also participating in the discussion in a more meta sense and/or sharing recs.
• If the theme is a trope, recs and self-promotion should link to the part of the fic that actually deals with the trope.
• Please note that the bashing rules will still apply.
  • While fics can obviously be shared as recommendations, take care when discussing aspects of these individual fics. Authors can, and do, find where their fics are linked with relative ease, so assume they're going to read what you've written.
  • As discussed above, please refrain from participating if you have no interest, dislike or avoid the theme of the post. There will be plenty of different topics to discuss, so please wait for the next one.

Trial Information:
This series was designed to provide a further avenue for those who like to share recs and discuss tropes in more detail to do so. We're hoping to get a feel for how this will run over the next month or so, and whether we need to tweak the frequency or format of the posts.
Please feel free to message the mod team if you have feedback on the trial, things you'd like to see more of in the discussion, such as prompts or more specific questions being posed by the mods.

I have read dozens of reviews and watched lots of videos but I have yet to have a clear view on this and probably you can help me:
I have a 5600x with [email protected] and a 2070 super and like to game at [email protected] with Ray-tracing enabled but some games are not doing well, specially Cyberpunk 2077.
My budget allows to upgrade either to a 5900X/5800X3D+RTX 4080 or an RTX 4090.
Which option would you say can give the best cost/benefit now but also the best future-proofing?
Any advise is welcome!

i might be a bit greedy but i want a better, more emersive story. i want cut scenes and voice over. so is there a sci fi, turn based, character building, mission based game with a good story?
bonus points if its 40k or star wars based.
and no post apo or first/third person.

Hi all!
This may seem like a vague, open-ended question. Yet, I wish to know your opinions on the same. I (25/M) think a lot about what I'm 'leaving behind' as a grow older. I'm not really someone who wants to build a family at some point. Nor do I want to get married. My family and few close friends are the only people I want to keep nurturing a connection with, and perhaps new friends I come across on my journey.
I recently left a decent-paying job because it's not at all fulfilling and balancing it with my Master's program started becoming a task. I am now pouring my time into research and trying to come up with new solutions and ideas for designers/engineers alike. I study Behavioural Sciences, and Interactive Media is my niche!
I am thinking about teaching (at a University level) and mentoring younglings who are a little creatively oriented. I want to cover topics like collaboration, team-building, communication, design thinking and so on. That's where my heart lies, at least for now. On the 'work' side of things, I think I will keep writing and designing as a freelancer until I complete my MSc.
However, in the long-term, how do I think about building my sense of legacy? It's important to my purpose and how I contribute to the world.

I'm looking to build a meaningful platonic friendship with someone. I'm particularly interested in bonding with other guys, as I haven't had a close friendship with a male before and I'm eager to change that.
I'm a supportive person who enjoys connecting with others on a daily basis, sharing our daily struggles and uplifting each other. If you're looking for someone to share your progress pics with, count me in!
I have a few interests that I'd love to share with my potential friend, including gaming, socializing, horror movies, Star Wars, and Marvel. I'm a big fan of RPGs, but I'm also open to playing Overwatch 2 or COD MW2 together. If you're up for it, we can also have voice chats over Discord or chat on there too.
I'm looking for someone who's 20 or older, and it would be great if you're in the military or a fitness enthusiast. If you're interested in getting to know me, please tell me a little about yourself when you message me, including your age and interests. And, to avoid getting ignored, please make sure your message has some effort and substance - just saying "hey" won't cut it!
I'm excited to start building a meaningful friendship with someone, so if you're up for it, send me a message and let's get chatting!

Well, it's Sunday morning and another early drop of TOC 4 by Discoverplus. You know the drill ... I'll talk the line up, the food the judges and scoring, but won't reveal the winners here, but they will likely be in the comments so read at your own risk. It's a bittersweet review for me, as my beloved Kansas State Wildcats just tumbled out of the real March Madness yesterday. But.... the TOC must go on! And tonight's TOC is going to be brutal as I have way too many favorites in the game on this side of the bracket.
So here we go. All the chefs walk in as usual and Guy shows what happened last week on the bracket board. Here comes the audience!
Round One: "Mayday" Mei Lin vs. "Tiff" Tiffany Derry. Seed three: Mei Lin vs. Seed two Tiffany Derry. Wow. Guy is REALLY solid on this "May Day" nick name. Randomizer is still two proteins with surf and turf and the time is still 35 minutes. Tiger prawns, double cut pork chops, campfire pie iron, holiday supper and double move down. Tiffany and Mei have to agree together to move two categories down one. They now get flat iron steak instead of the pork chops and get weeknight dinner instead of holiday supper. Also these Prawns are HUGE.... they are like giant lobster tails with legs. Tiffany is making a Suya-crusted flat iron steak with prawn and couscous stew. She draws Simon. She explains what Suya spice blend is. Sounds delicious. Mei is making a Vietnamese rice bowl with fried tiger prawn egg rolls and Thai chili sirloin steak. She draws Justin. Mei is using the pie iron for her garlic while Tiffany uses it to char her tomatoes. We get a shot of Sasto, Shota and Hunter in the stew room watching. That would be a fun group to hang out with. Weirdly one of my favorite parts of this show is when they show you little bits of the judges like legs walking or hands buttoning a cardigan and I try to guess the judges. ....
And now, here come the judges: Michelle Bernstein, Jonathan Waxman and Rocco DiSpirito. Justin presents Mei's dish first. Michelle loves it because she eats something like it once a week. She likes the crunch on the prawn. She thinks the meat may or may not have too much sodium. Jonathan thinks it has the right amount. Rocco loves the steak. He says he isn't disappointed at all other than maybe she could have made a better use of the pie iron. Scoring is the same.. 50 points for taste, 30 for use of the randomizer and 20 for presentation. Simon presents Tiffany's dish. Rocco says it is a thoughtful and considered dish. And a great job on the steak. He seems to want more seasoning but likes it a lot. Michelle thinks the couscous is overcooked. She thinks it is fun. She doesn't like the dill. Jonathan says the steak is perfect. He doesn't think the couscous is overcooked but thinks it is a little bland. Scores are 85 vs. 92! The winner of this round will take on either Shota or Sasto next round.
Round Two: First seed Tobias Dorzon vs. fourth seed Karen Aknowicz. He beat Karen last year in TOC by a two point difference. Nicknames here are the Fox for Karen and the Huncho for Tobias. Randomizer: Crab meat, filet mignon, rotisserie oven, candlelit dinner, and high score respin. Tobias gets the respin. He spins equipment and gets rotisserie oven! Tobias draws Simon and he is cooking a seared filet mignon with crab and white wine cream sauce. Maneet and Stephanie are watching in the screening room. Karen is doing a play on a classic old-school steakhouse. She is making a spanakopita style crab bearnaise and butter basted filet mignon. She roasts onions in the rotisserie and then adds scraps of the steak into the basket to flavor the onions. Tobias finishes his steaks in the rotisserie oven after searing them. Karen is putting the crab into her creamed spinach. Justin seems to like what karen is doing. Okay this round is just making me freakin' hungry. Tobias was plating til the end so had no time to clean his plates. Judging: Justin presents Karen's dish first. They do a shot of Tobias in his trailer watching and he says "is that a candlelit dinner in a cereal bowl?" Michelle said looking at it it did not speak to her until she had a bite. She says it has a seductive romanticism. Jonathan says the spinach is exquisite, he thinks the steak is a little too thick cute. Rocco says it tastes like a candlelit dinner more than it looks and loves the onion. I'm guessing she's gonna get dinged on presentation points. Simon presents Tobias's dish. Michelle says the cook has a good grasp on meat cooking. She doesn't think it is the most creative. Rocco liked a plated dish. He thought the filet was undercooked. Jonathan thought his dish had too much meat. Score: 80 vs. 82 close round. The winner of this round will take on either Stephanie or Maneet.
Round three: And this will be my heartbreak round because I love both of these chefs from watching them on Top Chef. Eighth seed Shota Nakajima vs. fourth seed Mustache Joe Sasto. Mustache Joe's outfit is giving me giggles. Guy's nicknames are the Ninja and of course Mustache Joe. Guy says Shota would get the nicest guy award but Joe Sasto is also the nicest guy. (this sure seems true at least from what I've seen of them both in the past.. I don't want either one to lose.) Randomizer: halibut, hanger steak, cast iron multicooker, go to take out and move one up. Both chefs have to decide a which to move. They agree to move the multicooker to the meat tenderizer. Shota draws Justin (who apparently can speak a little Japanese) and is making a spin on Katsu Sando a Japanese fried pork cutlet sandwich -- he's doing a beef Katsu Sando with halibut twist inside. Joe draws Simon and is making Hanger Steak Dan Dan noodles with a halibut egg roll with duck sauce and Chinese hot mustard. Joe hits the garlic with the meat tenderizer and later uses it on the apricots. Shota uses the tenderizer on the steak. Katsu stands for "winning" in Japanese. We'll see if it holds up here. Shota is using both the steak and the halibut in two ways to try to win the randomizer points. Both chefs are using Kewpie mayo. Joe is doing some creative plating but is worried he doesn't have enough steak on the dish. It appears Shota is plating down to the wire. Judging: Justin presents.... Guy calls him the Wolfman. ? He does Shota's dish. Rocco says it is all working and he nailed the take out style. Jonathan loves it, his only downside is not enough ginger. Michelle says it is cravable. She says if she was super picky you can't find the halibut. Simon presents for Joe. Rocco saysit is a fun play on take out, but doesn't see it as a real take out dish. Jonathan disagrees and says it is take out. He doesn't get the use of the meat tenderizer. Michelle says it is a great take out dish and does get the tenderizer on the halibut. She isn't getting enough hanger steak. Score: 84 vs. 80.
Round four billed as the highlight of the night... altho how it will beat the last two rounds I don't know. Three seed Stephanie Izard, the OG Iron Chef vs. second seed Maneet Chauhan the only TOC champion still in the tournament. Randomizer: Calamari tubes and tentacles, rack of lamb, mortar and pestle, lunch special and surf or turf respin. They respin the surf. and.... get dover sole which both of them said they did not want. The dover sole is whole, so they have to break it down. Maneet is making a lamb meatball and tikka masala bunny chow with dover sole fish soup. Stephanie is makin a roasted lamb and cover sole sandwich with ceviche with a jus on the side. Stephanie says she's never broken down a dover sole before. Justin is presenting for Stephanie and Simon for Maneet. Maneet uses the mortar and pestle to grind spices. stephanie is using a sauce made by Shota which is kind of a fun shout out. Stephanie uses the mortar to make guacamole. Maneet's sandwich is very cute. Stephanie seems to struggle a little at the end. Judging: Simon presents first for Maneet. Rocco thought making soup out of the halibut was ambitious. He loved the soup and sandwich special. Michelle thought the fish chunks were too small but she thought it was creative. Jonathan said it was delicious but not the best use of the sole. He loved the lamb meatball. Justin presents for Stephanie and tells them to pour the jus on the sandwich. Michelle says the dipping gravy is messy but the flavor is ahome run. She says the lamb is very rare, she likes the cruchy hand made tortilla in the middle of the sandwich. Jonathan says he's missing the sole flavor. Rocco says it is cravable and balanced and "bad ass." Scoring: 86 v. 84.
That's it for tonight. I picked 3 of the 4 winners so it wasn't too bad. I'm definitely looking forward to the elite eight round next week. But this was a great match up from beginning to end. I think you will enjoy watching it.
