Veyrith didn’t end with fire or spectacle. It failed the way a body fails when every system collapses at once, the atmosphere folding inward with a pressure so sudden and absolute the surface buckled before most species understood anything had changed. Forests flattened as if an invisible hand had pressed down on them. Mountain ranges cracked open with a sound too deep to hear, only feel. Cities folded into themselves like soft metal, the ground swallowing them with a slow, grinding patience. Oceans rose in towering walls of steam that fell as boiling sheets of water, erasing coastlines in minutes. The sky flickered through violent shifts of color, blue to black to a blinding white glare, ...

Next The alarm was so startling, I fell out of bed. I sat up and swung my head around wildly looking for the danger. “Melody! I’ve been trying for ten minutes to wake you, I was about to call the infirmary. You slept through your alarm and your backup.” It was starbase, trying to get my attention. Starbase was a k'laxi built AI, and like most of them, had chosen their name. I thought it seemed rather generic, but who am I to judge someone else’s name? "I know, I know, I'm sorry!" I panted as I threw on my clothes. Fortunately, Vinaren wouldn't leave until I was completely packed last night; she knew that if she didn’t make sure I was finished I wouldn’t...

You're on holiday in Portugal. Or maybe you've just moved to Toronto. Or you're simply passing through Frankfurt airport for three hours with nothing to do. Either way, you open All 4 on your laptop, the one with the Great British Bake Off episode you've been saving, and the screen goes blank. *"Channel 4 is only available in the UK."* Right. The electronic equivalent of a bouncer looking you up and down and deciding no. But here's the thing most guides won't tell you upfront: **Channel 4's geo-blocking has gotten noticeably sharper over the past year**. It's not like 2023, when you could point almost any VPN at a London server and waltz s...

I work at a library branch that serves a wide range of demographics. One of those demographics is apparently grown *** men that don't know how to keep creepy comments to themselves. I look pretty androgynous, and most people assume my gender based on my clothing for the day and I don't mind this. Half the time, I wear a pretty standard khakis/library shirt combo, the other half I like to dress up in a cuter colorful style. Regardless of either style, I dress fairly modestly. It's not for any religious reason, I just feel far more comfortable covered up for many sensory reasons, and the clothes I gravitate too are naturally more modest because of that. So think like floor lengt...

It is said that his nickname, 'Calico Jack,' came from his preference for the distinctive 'Calico' cotton material clothing, a preference which would have differed from the traditional silk or velvet options favoured by other notable Pirate Captains at the time. He served under the notorious Charles Vane as a quartermaster before being promoted to Captain. But his career didn't last long... In 1720, he was tried and convicted of Piracy, before being sentenced to hang at Port Royal. Shortly afterwards, his body was gibbeted on a very small island - an island that is now named 'Rackhams Cay'. If you're interested in this period of history and enjoy hi...

CW: Gore, Blood I don’t know how long we were staring at that container, long enough that when I finally broke my eyes from it, I could see the moon was right up above us. Everything fell away in the hours I was looking at it: the noise of the train, the others, and my own thoughts. When I finally snapped to, I could see that Moxie was holding Mary as she was asleep in her arms. Moxie's eyes were dead set on the container. Moxie was playing with Mary’s golden brown hair, twirling it between her fingers. She broke eye contact with it, looking at me as if she saw a ghost. She opened her mouth and presumably said something, but the train was too loud. She tried again; I could hear ...

These two tools get treated like competitors. Forum threads debate which one to use. Tutorials position them as alternatives. The debate is built on a false premise. An [AI character creator](https://blog.makko.ai/what-is-the-makko-sprite-studio-props-generator-a-pipeline-efficiency-guide/) and a [sprite sheet](https://blog.makko.ai/how-to-add-animated-characters-to-a-game-using-makko/) are not substitutes. They operate at different stages of the same pipeline. Choosing between them is not a real decision. You need both, in the right order, or your characters never reach a playable state. Most creators searching for tools in this space hit the same wall: they generate a great-looking c...

Hi! After the realization that I don't have that much friends, and having some trouble in the relationship with my girlfriend (which we don't have to talk about, I won't vent, lol!) I thought, why not try online and make some new connections and potentially new friends and lift my mood? I love thrift stores, basically my entire wardrobe consists of second-hand clothes, and my entire interior is from thrift stores, too! But I also love 'old' music, movies, etc., I guess I'm just a really vintage person? Things I do not like vintage are coffee (which I drink with a lot), and my gym (which I visit three times a week) and my running shoes (which I use to discover ...

To be fair to my stepdad, I do wrongly compare him to my bio dad a lot (bio dad passed away when I was 14 and I was super close with him before he died) and this probably does contribute to some of my frustrations with stepdad. In addition to this, I know that he and my mom are struggling for money at the moment and that we are in the process of remodeling our entire downstairs due to a black mold issue (which he is doing most of, since he's a former contractor and current landscaper). Long story short, he's under a lot of stress and I probably hold certain things against him that I shouldn't. With all that being said, Im pretty much at my breaking point and just need to ven...

Hi all This is my first reddit post Frustrated app non-founder here - Non-founder bcs I think my app/s need to make any money before I can call myself founder. I WILL NOT EVER mention my app names, not even my app niche, this is HONEST post to see what people think  Context: I built 4 iOS apps(of course I couldn’t build just ONE and learn ALL of LESSONS on just one app, I had to launch  4 apps), indie app developer, and apps are not making any money, and it seems IMPOSSIBLE to market them * to even win at apple ads auction for my bids and get IMPRESSION - someone sees my app * then get the TAP so they come on app page * and God forbid they even INSTALL the app, that would be enou...

Web2app is a funnel where a user goes through a web onboarding or mini-quiz, pays on the website before installing the app, and then installs the app with access already activated.  Teams choose this approach because it makes it easier to run faster experiments, see the funnel more clearly, and control communication before and after install. Why email matters here: in web2app there is almost always a gap between steps - quiz, payment, install, first app open. Email helps gently move someone to the next step, bring back people who dropped off, and build solid post-purchase communication without relying on the store. You can send email sequences triggered by real user actions - registratio...

Hello. I previously introduced three Korean myths that influenced KPDH and speculated on elements expected to appear in the sequel (Rumi’s father, background and key elements, Honmoon, etc.). This time, I have created a story for the sequel to KPop Demon Hunters. I initially started writing to share Korean myths with those who were curious about them, but I somehow ended up crafting this narrative as well. (I see a Fan-fic Flair has been created! How exciting!!) To be honest, stories that can be told within a short runtime are quite predictable. While the "color" of a story may change, the fundamental structures are limited—which is why the stories we watch often feel so sim...

My daughter will be 9 next month, but still technically 8. Its spring break and this allowed us some free time to bond, which is great, she's been loving it, I've been loving it, but this one thing is driving me crazy. She has always been the kid who strives for independence. The more she can do on her own, the better she feels about herself. I do my best to encourage it. She picks her own clothes in the mornings, brushes her own hair and ties it up, gets her own snacks and pours her own drinks. I even gave her an old cell phone (don't worry, its locked up like fort knox, she can only call and text a few approved contacts and has no access to the internet whatsoever.) so sh...

I (29F) shop about once or twice a year and I do not enjoy it. I rotate the same few pieces every week for work (government office building) but it’s starting to feel tired and I don’t love the way things look. Because I shop so infrequently - for financial and environmental reasons as well as I find it overly burdensome - I don’t want “in season” or ”fashionable” clothes that will soon look dated. I’m willing to pay more to buy clothes that will last. I’m in a comfortable financial situation so it’s more that of an issue that I have no sense of style rather than I can’t afford new clothes. I tend to go for a more muted colors and things that I can mix and match. I he...

Me: Woke up took the dogs out, made sure the dogs and cat had fresh food and water, went to the gym, did a load of laundry, made breakfast for myself and my husband, packed my lunch, went to work, worked an 8 hour day, stopped by the grocery store, came home made dinner, cleaned up after dinner, put clothes away, cleaned up the house a little, sat down for like 30 min to watch tv and scroll. We went to bed showered had sex and went to sleep. My husband: woke up, went poop, rubbed my butt, complained about not having sex in the AM (we usually have sex 1-2x a day) went to work, came home, sat and watched tv til it was time to go to bed.

Background I am a full-time employed developer and a new dad (4 month old). I built and launched an iOS fitness app called GainFrame over the past two months. This is my second app. My first one flopped. This post covers real numbers across beta testing, paid and organic marketing channels, retention, and what I would do differently. # First App: Screenshot Swipe (Failed) Before GainFrame I built Screenshot Swipe. Zero marketing, zero user validation. Assumed the App Store would drive discovery. * 432 lifetime downloads * $57 lifetime proceeds * No longer shows up on App Store search results even by exact name Lessons: you cannot skip marketing. You cannot skip user validation. Buildin...

yes, I told her not to get the clothing store lobotomy

*ScoreCloud Express. 2.0 stars. #42 paid in Music. Making roughly $1K–1.5K a month (estimated from category/chart ranking + public app store intelligence: directional, not exact). Hasn't been updated in eight years. The pitch detection is all over the place, it crashes left and right, makes you create an account before you can do anything, and then asks for a subscription on top of the purchase price. Eight year old code. Still making money.* So i looked at the alternatives. Because surely someone has built something better by now, right? *Sing2Notes*. A professional singer left a review saying they spent 20 minutes trying and couldn't get a single usable transcription. Their w...

Sharing my experience with Griffin after picking up the Artois MM in black/tan, and this one honestly exceeded expectations. I originally ordered the black/black version from Afen via another trusted seller, but quickly realized I should’ve gone black/tan instead. After seeing consistently strong feedback on Griffin for GOY, I decided to try him out.
