2023.03.24 14:42 Altruistic_North_4 how can I help my Lonely Senior Mother
She lives alone basically on an island, doesn't really have any hobbies or friends.
She also has built up so much fear around meeting people or doing anything out of her comfort zone where she is stuck basically.
I don't see her doing much of anything or ever meeting anyone for the rest of her life.
She's still in her 60s, retired right before covid hit, and hasn't done a thing since.

2023.03.24 14:42 StepwiseUndrape574 GTA 6 Fan Made 4K Concept Trailer Rendered In Unreal Engine 5 Is Drop Dead Gorgeous
Rockstar Games can't release Grand Theft Auto VI fast enough, though as we eagerly (and impatiently) await for the next installment in the long-running GTA franchise, fan made trailers have us drooling at what the actual product could look like. The latest one comes from TeaserPlay, which used Unreal Engine 5 to render several different locations in stunning detail.
The actual game isn't likely to use UE5. Rumor has it that Rockstar Games is leaning on its own proprietary RAGE9 graphics engine, and that's both plausible and, in our opinion, very likely to be true. TeaserPlay acknowledges this in the description to its concept trailer, suggesting it wanted to render several possible locations in UE5 so we'd have something to compare with down the line.
Check it out below...
Play
In the order they appear, the trailer showcases Vice City, San Fierro, Las Venturas, and Liberty City. The shots inside what appears to be a high-rise apartment complex in Las Venturas look especially crisp as the camera pans over a carpet and into a kitchen island with some veggies and pasta in the background, though it's far from the only scene that stands out.
"I/we use the most powerful features of Unreal Engine, such as ray tracing, lumen, nanite [virtualized geometry], screen ppace reflections, and MetaHuman so that the graphics are as close as possible to a next-gen sandbox game," TeaserPlay states.
There are a ton of leaks and rumors surrounding GTA 6. One of the more recent ones suggest there will be at least two playable protagonists, one of which is a Latina woman. The franchise hasn't featured a playable female character in a long time.
Rockstar Games has been rather short on details for the next installment, though it has at least confirmed that GTA 6 is in development.
"With the unprecedented longevity of GTA V, we know many of you have been asking us about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series," the devloper shared in a blog post last February. "With every new project we embark on, our goal is always to significantly move beyond what we have previously delivered—and we are pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway."
No release date has been mentioned, though Rockstar Games will share its next earnings report in early August. It's possible we will get an update at that time.

2023.03.24 14:40 Starklyblaze52 Why NFTs are not dead
The world of NFTs has been buzzing with activity in recent months, with several high-profile events and developments capturing the attention of the broader cryptocurrency community.
One of the most significant developments in the NFT world has been the emergence of a new generation of NFT marketplaces, which offer users a more streamlined and user-friendly way to buy, sell, and trade NFTs. These platforms, which include OpenSea, Nifty Gateway, and SuperRare, have become popular among both artists and collectors, who are drawn to their easy-to-use interfaces and broad selection of high-quality NFTs.
Another major development in the NFT world has been the increasing integration of NFTs into mainstream culture. From celebrity endorsements to major brand partnerships, NFTs are increasingly being used as a way to engage with fans and build brand recognition. For example, in February of 2021, musician Grimes sold a series of NFTs for over $6 million, while in March, luxury fashion brand Gucci announced a partnership with Arianee, a blockchain-based NFT platform, to create digital versions of their products.
In addition to these developments, the NFT world has also seen a number of high-profile sales and acquisitions in recent months. In March, a digital artwork by artist Beeple sold for a staggering $69 million at Christie's, marking the first time that a major auction house has sold a purely digital artwork. Meanwhile, in February, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sold his first-ever tweet as an NFT for over $2.9 million, with the proceeds going to charity.
Overall, the NFT world continues to evolve and grow, with new developments and innovations emerging on a regular basis. While the technology is still in its early stages, it is clear that NFTs have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about ownership, creativity, and value in the digital age. As such, it is an exciting time to be involved in this rapidly-evolving field, and we can expect to see even more exciting developments and innovations in the months and years to come.

2023.03.24 14:40 TubaTheG The Different Characterizations of Samus Aran
 | https://preview.redd.it/tw2feid67opa1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=37cd7120b2a7b268316ec7b80cf19e50cb824d15 submitted by TubaTheG to Metroid [link] [comments] Samus’ character was such a contentious topic for the longest time I feel. Metroid: Other M receives extreme scrutiny because of Samus’ portrayal. Even to this day, with more Metroid games out, people still remember and vehemently despise the game’s portrayal of her, and recently I’ve been thinking…how much has her character changed anyways? I want to discuss this by pointing out what I think are her 4 main portrayals in this series, and my general thoughts regarding them. I may have some takes that are controversial in this aspect. Classic Samushttps://preview.redd.it/kbgyb18h7opa1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=fcc97c78698ec4aedf6b1e54820d2a25f2af81f3Classic Samus is the first and probably most "basic" portrayal for Samus. Metroid 1, Metroid 2, and Super Metroid all give this portrayal to Samus. In these games, not much of her personality is ever shown off in any official capacity. We get the groundwork for her characterizations in later titles, such as her determination, her sense of professionalism, and other things, but all that was purely through her opening narration in Super Metroid. Aside from this, it's really up to the player to interpret how she's like in the games. One could even make the argument that this was her "Blank Slate Protagonist" portrayal, meant for the player to insert themselves as Samus. Not much really needs to be discussed I feel, it's a good groundwork for her later portrayals. Sakamoto Samushttps://preview.redd.it/d04mjdqo8opa1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=61d5fcaabb8764a2ab4412f7b2922ea709b680ceI call this portrayal Sakamoto Samus because this was his full vision of the character of Samus Aran (at least, it was until after Other M). This may be somewhat controversial, but I consider this portrayal of Samus to be shown throughout Fusion, the Metroid Manga (even if it wasn't made by Sakamoto), Zero Mission (obviously less so), and of course, Metroid: Other M. Fusion's Samus in particular laid the groundwork for Other M's Samus, despite the hatred the latter characterization gets it's clear that it was a sort of, "evolution" of Fusion's depiction. If anything, I would say Samus Returns and Metroid Dread are the games that deviated from this characterization instead of Other M (and later in this post I'll talk about why this isn't a bad thing). I guarantee that if Fusion was not made on the GBA, her monologues would have almost reached OM levels. This portrayal of Samus is probably the most melancholic or emotional, as she'd often recall her past and how it personally affected her (even in Zero Mission's opening dialogue). Despite what many say, she doesn't actually outwardly talk that much, most of the dialogue from her in all 3 of those games come purely from her thoughts. In many ways, she feels a sense of guilt and sorrow. Zero Mission and Other M differ from fusion however, in that during gameplay, both are portrayed as acrobatic badasses, particularly in Other M where she'd eviscerate the enemies. Much of this was carried over to her portrayal in the MercurySteam games. One of my biggest gripes with this portrayal of Samus is the constant "tell, don't show". Zero Mission is not particularly guilty of this, but Fusion and especially Other M are guilty. One of the most defining aspects of Metroid to me is "Show, Don't Tell", and I think this characterization misses the mark in that regard. I can see the appeal of getting into the mind of Samus Aran, how she feels, how she reacts to situations, but I don't think this is the best fit for Samus. I don't hate Fusion's portrayal of Samus in particular, and I think it's probably the best executed version of Sakamoto Samus, but I find it a bit overrated, especially when it's used to put down her other portrayals in the series. While I had gripes with Fusion's Samus, Other M showed me, and many other Metroid fans, that this wasn't the right direction to go for the character. A particular thing that irked me to the core, is how she constantly fawns over Adam Malkovich, something that was hinted at in Fusion. The way he controls her as she listens to his word, his orders. She even describes the word "outsider" as something that "pierced her heart" (what???). This all culminates in one of the worst scenes in the game, that being Sector Zero. How Adam is portrayed as heroic despite shooting Samus in the back, and making this big, emotional spectacle out of this sacrifice. I was laughing during that scene, it was awful. \"WITH MY SCREAMS I SHALL TURN YOU INTO A CHILD FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS GRAAAAAH\" Of course, I've neglected to mention probably the most infamous scene in Metroid history, the encounter with Ridley. I don't even hate Ridley's portrayal in this game, they did a better job with him here than in Samus Returns, and it's probably the only game aside from Super that gives Ridley the cunning portrayal he is supposed to be known for. That being said, the way Samus reacts comes completely out of left field. No prior game aside from like, the japanese ending to fusion ever hinted at the fact that Ridley killed her parents. The issue isn't that Samus beat Ridley lots of times before this, as PTSD is more complicated than that, the issue is the fact that the games prior have never implied that she even had PTSD, not even Fusion if I recall. The only way this scene makes sense is if you know what the Metroid Manga is and have read it, otherwise you get one of the most confusing scenes in any Metroid game. It's one of the things Other M doesn't elaborate on, and once the ridley scene is over, the game acts like it pretty much never happened. I had so much more to say in regards to Sakamoto Samus, me personally this is my least favorite portrayal and I'm very glad this isn't the norm for her anymore. Obviously I want samus to have a personality, and heck maybe she could even talk more, but the thing is, other games do this without the need of monologues. The idea that Samus "never had a personality before Other M" aside from Fusion is silly to me, the Prime games and the MS games are proof that she can have personality without monologues. Prime Samushttps://preview.redd.it/jfm2cl25hopa1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=8784bb25f7568c463b2bba4e1eb09a64eb059d9b I think it's fair to say that Prime Samus is the most popular depiction of the character, and the most common. As the name suggests, it spans all 5 prime games (or 6 if you want to count pinball or something). This portrayal of Samus is calm and collected, she shows restraint and is probably the least emotional out of her portrayals. However, she has moments of pure compassion, and she has a sense of curiosity for the world around her and how it works. The Scan Visor helps with this portrayal. Both Prime Samus and Sakamoto Samus take Classic Samus as a base and go in different directions, however I think the former sticks more closely to the classic portrayal in this regard. Metroid Prime 1 in particular definitely feels like Classic Samus, especially with the idea of us being in the protagonist's shoes. It helped to make that game in particular so immersive, especially with the Scan Visor and first person view. Prime 2 and Prime 3 are probably the best examples of this characterization however. The second game had Samus silently mourn the death of one of the Galactic Federation soldiers, closing his eye and everything, and in general once she found the Luminoth U-Mos, out of her own kindness she decided to help reclaim Aether from the Ing. At the end, when she completed her mission, she humbly leaves with a handwave, showing her general calm demeanor. Metroid Prime 3 is an interesting case as it also shows really good characterization, but at the same time showcases the flaws that could be had with it. The way Samus reacts to being corrupted, to her anger at Dark Samus for taking over her bounty hunter comrades, to mourning them at the end of the game, all of this is great stuff. However, one could make the argument that her not talking in Prime 3 made some cutscenes awkward, especially at the very beginning of the game. Every other hunter talked and made commentary with each other and Admiral Dane, except for Samus and for me personally it was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have her say any lines here. I am not particularly familiar with her characterization in Hunters and Federation Force, but I assume it's largely the same as the main trilogy. I DO know that in Federation Force, she somehow gets captured by pirates...and they make her a giant ball. I've heard so much awful shit about that game's final boss but I never got there myself so idk. This portrayal of Samus is one of my favorites and is what I think a good direction for her character, perhaps when necessary though I would like to hear her input. Like I said previously though, this portrayal is proof that the "Samus never had character until Other M" claim is silly. There's a lot of nuances present in Prime that show that she has character and personality. MercurySteam Samushttps://preview.redd.it/cesbggg0mopa1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c2dc176f7847cde433a35f25a6020f99a91d124b A common misconception people have that even I fell into beforehand, is that Samus' portrayal in the Prime games, and in the MercurySteam games, are one-to-one. I find myself disagreeing more and more as I start to see differences in the nuances of these portrayals, however I do think this portrayal is one gains a great deal of inspiration from the Prime games. As the name suggests, this portrayal of Samus is shown in the MercurySteam Metroids, Samus Returns and Metroid Dread. MercurySteam Samus on the surface retains a lot of the components of Prime Samus, that being her silent yet badass demeanor in particular. However, I would say through body language alone, MS Samus manages to be a lot less calm and collected, in fact she can be absolutely brutal. This aspect was one lifted from games like Other M where in gameplay she'd destroy enemies, much of that is retained here in the MercurySteam games. The animation of the MercurySteam games makes this portrayal of Samus the most expressive, often times she'd perform acrobatic stunts like in Other M and in some instances her body language can give off the impression that Samus feels annoyed by some encounters (such as the Diggernaut and Z-57). Dread in particular does a great job with her animations, through that alone you could get a feel for what she's feeling, leading you to infer on what she is thinking without the game expressly telling you. It's good stuff, I love it. One of the things many don't talk about in regards to her Dread characterization is how much she pulls out her arm cannon at anything that moves. I see this as a display of her being on edge, someone who is not calm and collected. Aside from select few instances, there's a sense that she's purposely keeping her guard up as she is afraid that if she doesn't she'd die. On top of all this, even with all I have said, Samus still retains that compassion from both the Prime games and from her "Sakamoto Samus" portrayal, particularly at the quiet robe scene. Once she finds that QR is a friend, she drops her guard and relaxes, with a sense that she feels comfort and safety here. Me personally, I don't particularly like exposition dumps as it takes away from the mystery of the games, QR isn't egregious or anything but it's not particularly great that they did an exposition dump. That being said, it's also lead to one of the best moments in Metroid, where in Chozo dialect, she says this: https://preview.redd.it/nl98q5pvropa1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=14a51d4d108db256bee90cbb025444f112dd3d08 A sign of reassurance to Quiet Robe that she will put an end to Raven Beak's twisted scheme. This is the only time Samus ever speaks, and it's to someone whom she respected and felt comfortable being around. By contrast, Samus never speaks to Raven Beak, and is shown to actively despise him as the events slowly went on. When she first entered Ferenia and saw the Chozo mural, her Metroid ability almost awakened. Many attribute this to Mawkin presence, but I genuinely think it came from the pure rage of seeing her own people die by the hands of Raven Beak. In general it seems like Samus is not only on edge, but is slowly losing her grip on her calm, collected demeanor. One particular scene shows her restraining herself from sucking the life out of an enemy that came out of a test tube, and instead just shooting it. It wasn't until encountering Raven Beak personally, remembering the deaths of her people, and Quiet Robe, that she finally loses it, and straight up goes full Metroid on him. I could talk more all day, but I want to just say that the claim that Samus lacks emotion in the MS games is not something I agree with. If anything, these games are probably some of the most emotional she's ever been. Sure, there's the occasional scene where it does seem like they're trying a bit too hard to make up for Other M's portrayal, but those are such minor instances in the grand scheme of things. The MS games, Dread especially, manage to give Samus probably my favorite characterization in the series. This, and Prime Samus, are the portrayals that I believe define Samus' character more than anything else, though I can completely understand preferring Sakamoto Samus over these. My post at the end of the day was to try and pinpoint what I think are the four main characterizations of Samus and what I thought of them, the topic of Samus' characterization is such an interesting discussion! If you read this far, thank you so much I hope you have a nice day! |

2023.03.24 14:40 Huggles9 My take on an easy way to fix the end of GoT and make it less…bonkers
It’s pretty simple, we play on the whole bells thing in the battle of Westeros and turn it into a PTSD trigger rather then a random reason why Dani went nuts over nothing.
We start back in mereen, in the great fighting pits, as the sons of the harpy force Dani, Jorah and her posse into the center and death is inevitable, have bells playing in the background. The bells make sense because it could be used to signal a) calamity in town to serve as a warning or b) as a signal for other sons of the harpy to attack other ends of the city
Fast forward to the battle for winterfell, after Dani arrives and all hope seems lost have the bells in the tower going off the in background this would also make sense because a) it could be tried as a rallying cry to get defenders of the living to rally against the dead or b) be some sort of signal worked out by Tyrion or Jon or whoever to signal a mass evacuation of city through the crypts to get people to safety
Now both events were clearly traumatic , you could drop little hints of how this affects Dani throughout the remaining episodes by having her freak out or act uncontrollably by being moved to tears or rage at the sound of bells
This way when she’s sitting on her dragon and deciding whether or not to spare the city, the bells bring her back to those moments when she almost died and is triggered by a PTSD incident, which explains (st least a little better) why she decided to burn everyone

2023.03.24 14:40 Lost_main1507 Endless cycle of hell
Hey everyone, my name is (insert name) and welcome to my Ted talk.
Mostly posting to gain other opinions to my situation. LONG POST WARNING
Let’s start at birth. Born in to a very low class family, father ragging alcoholic, mother a raging “self medicating” bipolar, both of whom loved to fist fight each other almost nightly. Have 3 older sibling, which I’m the youngest by 9 years. Constantly changing schools, moving more than 1 house per year on average. Almost every childhood memory is cursed by domestic violence. Fast forward a few years and two of my older siblings followed suit in my parents steps and gained nasty life crushing addictions. Every encounter with them was their eyes closed and falling over standing up. At the ripe age if 6, I seen all of the following; father kicking mother with steal toe boots, brother smashing sisters nose with candle stick, countless fights with police contact from my parents nightly rituals, very open drug and alcohol use.
Fast forward to a more recent time frame, the week of my past birthday, my father had a stroke and I came home from work (I work in an emergency room) and found my brother overdosed. Back in 2018? Tried to commit suicide via taking 80 Advil pms and landed myself in the ICU. The second I got cleared for release, my gf (first one) broke up with me as we were walking off the unit because I was “too much for her”, which hell, at our age I can only imagine the emotions she felt, but poor timing to say the least.
There’s much more to the sob story, but the point of this is I feel like I was born to have a lifetime of misery, sadness, depression, and dissatisfaction. Between my childhood events and work life, I’ve accepted that as my fate, and honestly there isn’t a day passes that I don’t crave the sweet blissful essence of death. No more pain, stress, sadness, disappointment, just nothing.
As stupid as it sounds, my family is the only thing keeping me here, and they don’t know I suffer. No one knows, it’s my dark little secret and after seeing first hand how the mental health system in this country is taken as a joke?i have no desire to get help. Why Get help when the second the staff leave bedside, they call you names, make jokes, say you are “looking for attention”. No one cares about me until they can’t care about me.
I guess my question is, am I just overthinking and I’m not set for a lifetime of sadness? Or am I fucked and I should scratch my throat with buckshot now 😂

Between my childhood events and work life, I’ve accepted that as my fate, and honestly there isn’t a day passes that I don’t crave the sweet blissful essence of death. No more pain, stress, sadness, disappointment, just nothing.
As stupid as it sounds, my family is the only thing keeping me here, and they don’t know I suffer. No one knows, it’s my dark little secret and after seeing first hand how the mental health system in this country is taken as a joke?i have no desire to get help. Why Get help when the second the staff leave bedside, they call you names, make jokes, say you are “looking for attention”. No one cares about me until they can’t care about me.
I guess my question is, am I just overthinking and I’m not set for a lifetime of sadness? Or am I fucked and I should scratch my throat with buckshot now 😂

FADE IN:
EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY
We see a group of survivors from the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 on the island beach. They have all grown beards and look tired, but are still determined to find a way off the island.
SAWYER: Alright, anyone got any ideas on how to get off this damn island?
JACK: We’ve tried everything. Maybe we can try and fix that old submarine.
KATE: The old sub has been rusting away for years. I doubt it’s going anywhere.
Suddenly, they hear a strange sound on the island. They all look around, wondering what it could be.
HURLEY: Dude, did you hear that?
CHARLIE: Sounds like a helicopter.
The group looks up and sees a helicopter flying overhead.
LOST TITLE CARD
INT. CAVE - DAY
We see Desmond sitting in a corner looking at a photograph of him and Penny.
DESMOND: (to himself) Penny, I’ll find you. I’ll come back to you.
Suddenly, he hears a voice behind him.
BEN: You should come with me.
Desmond turns around to see Ben standing behind him.
DESMOND: Why should I go with you?
BEN: Because I can help you find her.
DESMOND: What do you want in return?
BEN: (smiling) Let’s just say I need your special abilities.
DESMOND: (hesitant) What kind of abilities?
BEN: (whispers) Time travel.
Desmond looks at Ben with suspicion.
DESMOND: How did you know about that?
BEN: (smiling) I know everything.
EXT. ISLAND BEACH - DAY
The group of survivors see the helicopter landing on the beach.
JACK: Everyone, stay calm.
The helicopter door opens and a group of people come out, led by a woman named SARAH.
SARAH: (smiling) Hi, I’m Sarah. We’re here to rescue you.
The survivors all look at each other, not quite sure if they can trust these strangers.
FADE OUT.
THE END.

2023.03.24 14:39 StepwiseUndrape574 GTA 6 Gameplay Videos Allegedly Leaked Online For Download
It seems Rockstar games isn’t the cybersecurity rockstar it may have thought, as Grand Theft Auto 6 videos, source code, and Rockstar in-house documents are leaking online. In an interesting twist of fate, this might be coming from the recent Uber threat actor, who will likely have a laundry list of criminal charges should the United States catch up with them.
Less than 24 hours from writing, a forum post on a Grand Theft Auto (GTA) site, which will remain unlinked, went up from user “teapotuberhacker,” who claimed to have some stolen data. In the post, they wrote that they obtained and published “90 footage/clips from GTA 6” and had more data like “GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets” or a “GTA 6 testing build.” Of course, users on the forum were immediately skeptical of the breach, given how early it is for this sort of thing, but the info we are beginning to get back indicates that this is the real deal.
gta6 leak online forum post
Furthermore, within the forum post, teapotuberhacker links himself to the recent Uber breach and explains that he got his GTA VI data from employee Slack channels and Rockstar’s internal Confluence, a corporate wiki tool. But, of course, Slack channels and Confluence pages are juicy targets for hackers and threat actors alike, so it could just be pure coincidence and someone trying to claim the infamy.
schreier gta6 leak tweet confirmation
In any event, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has since confirmed that this leak is real, so whether this is the Uber hacker or not is irrelevant. Thus, as mentioned, this leak could be one of the biggest in video game history and a massive problem for Rockstar games. Until we have an official statement from the company, it is unclear what kind of effect this might have, such as game setbacks and delays. Hopefully, we will find out more soon. Stay tuned to HotHardware for updates on this still developing situation and take your fill of leaks while you can, as Rockstar likely won't leave them for long.

2023.03.24 14:37 Lumpy_Investment_601 I have a few ideas/suggestions for niantic about Pokémon go
I apologize for the lack of formatting in addressing this, 1. shadowing a Pokémon- it would give a take as to helping rocket out and you could even make professer Willow give us an undercover mission to infiltrate team go rocket to take down Giovanni. 2. Gift more than event tickets.- I have a s/o who is locked out of their payment on Apple, so we have to go buy her gift cards constantly. Gifting a raid pass or a star piece would make out gameplay so much swifter. 3. Make it easier to submit pokestops, it may be flooded in some areas, just look at population of stops already in the remote area and understand that New York is New York, and some random city in the middle of nowhere isn’t gonna have 35 trainers able to submit a request for a stop. 4. Please bring back shiny mew :)

2023.03.24 14:37 throwmeawaypls82 Has anyone detransitioned so they could be a parent?
I know there are many ways to have a child as a trans person. Not talking about fertility.
Having a child while trans seems terrifying. There are people who genuinely think being trans is inherently sexual, or that trans people are damaging for children to be around. It's easy to say "just don't sweat it", but it seems like you're setting yourself up for a very difficult life if you do not pass 100%, especially with increased politicization and sexualization of trans people (particularly MTFs). Going to events with lots of children as a semi-passing trans woman seems outright dangerous even in more liberal areas. This is all assuming the trans backlash doesn't get even worse in the coming years, which it very well could.
And then there's the problems the child might face, whether it's bullying or bigotry.
Has anyone here thought about detransitioning so that parenthood would be easiesafer? Has anyone done so?
