One of the really big problems I have with this game in terms of gameplay is how you're given nothing to help party members who just joined the team catch up with stuff like AP (what I call A-EXP because A-EXP sounds worse). Pretty much every party member who joins the team starts with virtually NO INVESTMENT in any archetypes other than MAYBE SOME LEVELS on their canon archetype. Coming from the Bravely Default games in terms of job-based RPGs, this is honestly a problem because the whole appeal of these types of games is to have your entire team be extremely flexible and allow them access to a plethora of skills at any time when the situation deems it necessary.
I wouldn't say this problem really hits Strohl, Hulkenberg or Heismay too badly since you'll still be at a point where they're the only people you're gonna be having in the active party before reserve slots come into play. However, this problem really applies to everyone AFTER Heismay (Junah, Eupha, Basilio).
Junah: This quirk REALLY kinda sucks when Junah first starts out because while her stat spread is great (being the first real mage-aligned party member), you get nothing to quickly catch her up on magic-oriented jobs and the Dancer class itself is pretty starved in terms of actual available spells w/o inheritance. So not only are you forced to waste her accessory slot on a mask for a while, you're ALSO forced to put her in the front lines and bench one of the old guard for a bit because you're not dealing with reserve slots.
Eupha: Like Junah, a more mage-oriented party member, but again, the only thing she starts with is level 5 summoner, and while yes, summoner itself is flexible and can let her fight in the front lines fine w/o investment, you'd actually need to build more summoning vessels first before Summoner can be super flexible and you likely won't have too many Talismans when you unlock Eupha. With that in mind, you'd still have nothing to give her at base to make up for the fact Summoner is very limited w/o very many experiments.
Basilio: And here we have the last unfortunate soul. So not only does he start with NOTHING but Level 5 Berserker, but you literally only get a month and a half to actually start investing in him. And yes, I know that with how Berserker line (including his Royal) is built, he realistically wouldn't need much investment, but the fact that he has so little time to invest into any other archetype line to be more flexible is just awful in a job-based game.
Honestly, I just think what should've happened if they were just going to start every new party member upon join time with next to 0 investment, there should've been a dream sequence with More where you discuss your new companion and then he provides you with a supply of Hero Leaves/Roots as well as extra MAG to help catch up the new party member.

Hey everyone! I’m currently making around $10,000 a month using SMM (Social Media Marketing) panels, and I wanted to share my experience, answer any questions, and maybe help out anyone interested in this side hustle. (No, im not a guru and 10k a month is a low cap for this niche).
I stumbled into SMM panels about a year ago, just trying to grow my own social media accounts. I quickly realized that, besides helping with growth, there’s a solid market for reselling services like followers, likes, comments, and more. I started by setting up my own SMM panel, and from there, I’ve managed to build a steady income each month by reselling these services.
Essentially, I use a white-label SMM panel (a platform that provides social media engagement services) and mark up the services for my own clients. I market it as a growth service, targeting small business owners, influencers, and digital marketers who want to boost their online presence. The profit margins can be really good, especially when done right!

So I’m a newbie but built my pc about 4/5 years ago, recently had some issues with a video game crashing my pc so thought it was time to upgrade my cpu coolereplace the paste/clean my graphics card.
All was going well, used iso alcohol for cleaning, removed the old thermal paste and installed the Corsair H100i to replace my stock Wraith Prism cooler.
Now there is no signs of life. No light on Mobo, no fans moving. I’ve reseated ram, unplugged the cooler from mobo and psu, still nothing. Checked pins are all properly seated. Unscrewed the cooler to check if thermal paste is on the gpu. Loosened the new cooler. Reseated gpu. All seems okay? No idea what’s happening my only guess is that maybe I’ve used the wrong sata cable (read something online saying it has to be a high voltage one?). That or my PSU has short circuit. I did not use a static bracelet as I didn’t use one when building my pc just seemed a bit overkill.
Any help would be appreciated üò≠
Pc specs:

Timestamp
Hello MechMarket,
Looking to get rid of some aged boards after moving to split ergo. Please excuse some of the old timestamps, I trust that at least one or two photos with a current timestamp that can be corroborated with the others will suffice. If not, please let me know. Pardon any tone-deaf prices, my intention is to price low for prompt sales.

• Geonworks Frog TKL, F13 WKL + FR4 half + alu full, leaf spring + Galatea PCB, FR4, thru-hole + both tadpole sets (soft/hard) + Geonworks hard carry case + CannonKeys cloth
  • Asking $250 shipped
  • Pics https://imgur.com/a/kX0Oyys
  • Notes: Currently assembled with FR4 half and soft tadpoles. Weight on the backside has faint blemish marks from handling shown at an angle, otherwise no flaws! PCB has been cleanly de-soldered, white blemishes around thru-holes are from fumes and can be wiped off if need be. Both plates, carrying case, and tadpoles are without flaws.
• KBDFans/Vulcan Maja V2 + PC plate + hotswap PCB assembled with included Durock V2 stabs, plate foam + Unified daughterboard + orig. wood wrist rest + PCB foam (not assembled) + extra screws, gasket foam, cloth
  • Asking $200 shipped
  • Pics https://imgur.com/a/Te2N00X
  • Notes: Black ano/case overall is without flaws. Weight has a few scratches as shown on the back (check for microscopic screws before absentmindedly setting your board down). This was my main driver throughout my time with more conventional boards and I absolutely loved it. There are some faint grease stains on the frosted PC plate because, well, lube tends to stand out on those surfaces and I certainly smudged it. In my eyes, neither of these flaws detract from my daily enjoyment and feel of the board, but I understand the value lost in a scratched mirror-finish weight, hence the reduced price.
• KBDFans Tofu60 (legacy) + alu plate + thru-hole PCB
  • Asking $65 shipped
  • Pics https://imgur.com/a/UhFpCOw
  • Notes: It's a tofu. Rock on. Speaking of rocks, this certainly feels like one. Can't get more stiff than an alu plate on a tray mount 60. Is that a bad thing? Not for much younger me, building a board for the first time. I was in love with how solid it felt and powered through most of my undergrad engineering degree with blanks on it because why not. It certainly is a simple, clean, clacky, indestructible, and utilitarian board and I found an incredible amount of appeal in that. Also, the black ano developed super weird burn marks from the down-facing PCB LED's. I'm into it but it certainly is a "blemish".

Included shipping is for CONUS (outside US can be figured out for a small bump)
Open to offers!
Aside: this is my first WTS post here (or ever?) and thus I can understand any apprehension for 0 transaction users. I'm just starting to use Reddit more for buying and selling. I've made a purchase on ULgeartrade and am currently awaiting confirmation for another purchase on GearTrade if that's of any reassurance. I used to deal often on PinkBike and Paceline Forum but that's hard to corroborate.

I just moved into a new apartment and there is a coaxial cable sticking out of the wall, presumably plugged into a coaxial plug somewhere else in the building. I plugged my new Spectrum modem directly into that cable and the Online light pulsates but never goes completely blue. I don't really have much access to the building and my landlord isn't the easiest to get a hold of, but will this be something I need to have a Spectrum tech come look at? What happens if the coaxial can't get connection, can I use an adapter or am I SOL?

1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.

Looking to get away from console gaming, specifically PS. Still planning to use this PC as a living room setup, playing on a OLED TV. I play mostly single player, story driven games, including AAA titles. Still looking for great visuals that can make the most out of the TV's capabilities, but I think 1440p should be reasonable. I would rarely use this machine for anything other than gaming and media, so no productivity tools are needed.

2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?

Looking to keep this build at $1500 or less. Lower the better, but don't want to sacrifice performance or 'future proofing' just to keep costs low.

3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

End of 2024.

4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: toweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

Everything except a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.

N/A

6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?

I have no idea. I have build a PC before.

7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

No.

8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-towefull-tower sizes, styles, colours, window or not, LED lighting, etc.), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

Since this is a living room setup, looking for small form factor. Something like the LIAN LI A3-mATX seemed to fit both size and price. Open to other options though.

9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free.

No. I'm sure I can figure that out later.

10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?

Ideally, this would be something that would last until 2030 at least.

11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc)

No preference

12. What are the specs of your old PC / laptop? Do you want to see if it can be upgraded instead? If so, paste its build from PCPartPicker here.

N/A

13. Extra info or particulars:

This is a build that I saw somewhere else that I tired to recreate from memory: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fKsK8Q - Sorry I don't remember the original creator of this list to give them credit.
Any suggestions/improvements would be appreciated.

As being plus sized, when you dropped did your belly kinda go away? At my last ultrasound last week (36 weeks) she was still breeched. I had a feeling she flipped over the weekend because I look smaller and my crotch feels like I’m biking a marathon lol (I already have spd so this is a new feeling) When I look online at the difference in your belly when they drop it’s all smaller people so idk if it would look differently on us 😂

Total shot in the dark here, but I’m looking for colleges that offer a master’s degree in tax. I’ve looked into a few, but I’m kinda picky and none have had every box checked for me. Here’s my list:

1. Accredited
2. Courses are offered fully online
3. Courses last shorter than the usual 14 weeks
4. Courses are offered all year round

With working, I won’t really have the time to attend live lectures so virtual is a must for me. I strongly prefer the courses to be shorter in duration and offered year round just because I’m trying to get my CPA license quick. I’ll be through the exams in the spring so the only real hold up is the 30 credits. I realize a master’s in tax isn’t as widely offered as other programs, but I’m set on getting it. Again, shot in the dark, but it would be amazing if any of you knew of any! Thanks

Today I wanted to share an EXPANDED collection of stories about missing people who are older adults. I try to post this thread yearly because I think it is important to combat ageism in the true crime community, which is something I have rarely seen explicitly addressed. It is something that I have seen in this very community when someone highlights the cases of elderly individuals. It was actually some of this feedback which made me realize the need for a piece like this one. I once had a post reported by a reader because my write up on a missing 86 year old man with dementia was “not a mystery” even though his body was not (and still has not) been recovered. One commenter called the write up “low effort” and another said that there is “no mystery” when an old person goes missing, and a third said that his case was “not good content.” I think it is imperative that we remember as we read about real people’s stories that missing people are NOT content. They are real people who are missing and whether or not the circumstances surrounding their disappearances and final days are mysterious or mundane, their cases deserve exposure and everyone deserves to be laid to rest.
It goes without saying that I know most readers are nothing but compassionate and respectful to the people in these stories. If you know of other cases matching this criteria (let’s say those 60+) please share in the comment section below.

Leo Widicker, 86, of Harvey, North Dakota went missing on November 8th, 2001 from Tabacon Hot Springs, Costa Rica. Leo and his wife of 55 years, Virginia, were part of a pay-your-own way service group called Maranatha Volunteers International, a Christian group that builds homes, churches, and schools. In between two different jobs the group stopped at Tabacon Hot Springs resort for lunch. Leo was last seen sitting on a bench while his wife waded nearby, but within 20 minutes he was gone. Someone drove 10 miles down the road looking for him within minutes of his disappearance but no trace of Leo was ever found, which was especially weird as food and souvenir shops line parts of the road.
Theories in the case abound. Some think Leo got lost and perished in the volcanic landscape, some think he was hit by a car and flew down the hill into the jungle, while others think he was picked up by someone in a vehicle who did him harm or gave him a ride to another area where he perished from either foul play or misadventure. Leo Widicker is described as a white male, 86 years old in 2001, who was 5’6” and 145 lbs. Leo has blue eyes and is mostly bald. His remaining hair is reportedly blondish- gray. He wears hearing aids and glasses and also has a pacemaker. When last seen he was wearing a white baseball cap, jeans, black shoes, a red and blue plaid shirt, a blue jacket and a name tag. If you have any information on the disappearance of Leo please contact United States Embassy San Jose, Costa Rica Office at 011-506-220-3939. His wife, Virginia, passed away in 2023. She continued to volunteer for Maranatha until 2015.

Donald Richard Delaney, age 60 was last seen in Shoreline, Washington in November, 2003. His brother reported him missing after not hearing from his brother for months. Delaney may have gone to Mason county, near the Olympic National forest as he liked to frequent the area, specifically Shelton or Hoodsport. Delaney is legally blind, and suffers from type 2 diabetes. He can reportedly see well enough to live independently but he cannot drive. Because of his diabetes he always travels with a small red and white cooler with a lid, food, protein powder, herbal supplements, vitamins and his medication usually inside. He also carries a black leather backpack with books inside, and a small blue duffle bag sometimes with dry food or extra medication. Delaney is described as a white male, with brown eyes, and graying brown hair. His left eye is partially sewn shut and he usually wears a mustache. He is 5’10” and 220 lbs. Mason County police are investigating Delaney's disappearance, they can be contacted at 360-427-9670 ext. 313 Sources https://charleyproject.org/case/donald-richard-delaney
Rose E. Eaton, age 73, was last seen on July 25th 1994 in Chimacum, an unincorporated area in Jefferson Co. Washington state. Rose was in her son’s car waiting for him to drive her to the dentist when her son noticed that several goats had gotten loose. He told his mom to wait in the car but when he got back 10 minutes later, his mother was gone. Her purse was also missing but the family’s German Shepherd was still in the vehicle. The man looked for his mother for a few minutes but couldn’t find her and he found that the door to their home was still locked. He promptly called the police. Tracking dogs traced Rose’s scent down the dirt road for about ⅓ of a mile to the junction of the main paved road (Beaver Valley Road) when the trail abruptly stopped, leading investigators to think Rose may have entered a motor vehicle at that location. No other trace of her has ever been found. Rose is described as a white female with gray hair and blue eyes. She is 5’9” and 160 lbs. At the time she lived with her son and had been diagnosed with dementia several years earlier but was reportedly physically in good health. She was last seen wearing a long sky blue coat with buttons down the front, a long light blue dress, a tan purse with little to no money inside, and blue rubber soled orthopedic shoes size 8.5 and a ring with a ruby and some small diamonds. Rose has previously fractured her upper left arm. She has a small scar on the back of her neck and a scar on her abdomen. She is a non-smoker and non-drinker. She does not drive. Foul play is not suspected in this case but it has not been totally ruled out by law enforcement due to the scent trail found by search dogs. If you have any information please contact the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office at 360-385-3831. https://charleyproject.org/case/rose-e-eaton
Rose's son, Rick, wonders if Rose's disappearance could be related to his sister Janet's 2005 murder, which while solved, the motive is rather murky and senseless. https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/2022/10/14/new-charges-against-janet-eatons-killer-revives-memories-she-always-part-bremerton/10490785002/
Jerry Alan Graves was last seen on either Dec. 25th or Dec 28th 2018. The 69 year old was reportedly last seen walking down highway 12 away from the ranch he lived at in Clarkston, Washington. He was upset at the idea of moving into a nursing home and threatened to leave the area. It is unknown if this conversation had happened on that day or previously and who he was talking to about this potential move remains unknown. Jerry left behind all of his belongings, money, cell phone, and clothing. He is known to hitchhike between the towns of Clarkston and Pomeroy which are about 30 miles apart. The area Jerry was last seen in is a very rural area with few people near the border with Idaho. Jerry is described as a white male, 5' 7"-5’8” and 125-130 lbs. with brown gray hair, brown eyes, and a gray beard. He was wearing a dark colored coat and blue jeans when he was last seen. He had a broken leg at the time of his disappearance. He may have had a stroke before he disappeared and was showing possible signs of dementia. If you have any information please contact the Asotin County Sheriff’s Office at 509-758-2331. https://charleyproject.org/case/jerry-alan-graves
Walter Dunson, a WWI vet, was almost a centenarian when he was reported missing in 1998. However, within a week police began to speculate that Walter Dunson had actually died or disappeared fifteen years earlier. Walter is described as a thin black male, 97 years old at the time of last contact. He was about 5’8” and weighed 150 lbs. He was wearing a light brown shirt, dark brown pants, black leather shoes and a dark blue navy pea coat. He was also carrying a black leather wallet with about 15 dollars in it. He may also have a lottery card in his possession. He wears dentures and reading glasses. In his composite he has some facial hair but in real photos he is clean shaven. Some agencies give Dunson's date of birth as July 2, 1899 or July 7, 1900. If alive he would be 124 years old today. If you have any information on the disappearance of Walter Dunson please call Cincinnati Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.

When researching the above case, I came upon a John Doe from Cincinnati who could be a match to Walter Dunson. According to the Ohio State ME’s office, “on 07/08/1986, the remains of a 50-99 year old black male were discovered in an abandoned apartment building on Republic Street in Cincinnati, OH. This individual measured 68" in height and was wearing a tan long sleeved pullover shirt, a v-neck tan sweater, brown trousers, a brown belt, a tan sweater, white socks with green stripes, brown leather shoes, and a blue baseball cap.” According to Namus the building entrance was barricaded from the inside as if someone was living in the building and the man had been dead for several weeks. The man’s height, age range, and even clothing seems to match with Walter Dunson. Is it possible that Walter, who had been homeless in the past, was again living on the streets or had wandered from son’s home only to pass away while staying in this abandoned building? I have submitted Walter Dunson as a match to this man via both the Hamilton County Coroner's office and Namus. Even if this individual is not Dunson, he still deserves to have his name back. https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Files/Law-Enforcement/InvestigatoUnidentified-Remains/Doe-1982
In June of 2018, Sharran Lee Haije, age 78, was last spotted walking down Wright-Bliss Rd off of 105th street just north of the Vaughn Civic Center in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Dong Chull Jung disappeared within minutes in Lakewood, Washington. The 78 year old was residing at the Golden Lion Motel on Tacoma Way in Lakewood, Washington. The establishment has long been a hotbed of criminal activity and violence since at least the 1990s. On average the police responded to incidents at the 24-room hotel over 100 times per year. November 22nd 2003 was one of those times. On that day witnesses called the police after hearing “screaming and fighting” in Dong’s room. When the authorities arrived, they found a giant pool of blood on the floor as well as Dong’s prescription eyeglasses, but Dong was nowhere to be found. Tests determined that the blood belonged to Dong. One week before Dong’s disappearance he was granted a temporary domestic violence protection order from a Paul C. Jung, who might be Dong’s adult son. In June of 2003, someone named Hae Sung Jung, got a restraining order against Dong. Hae might be the estranged wife of Dong. There are reports that Dong was having “marital issues'' at the time of his disappearance. Very little information is available in the case. Dong is described as an Asian male, with brown eyes and thinning gray hair. He is 5’6'' and weighs 135 lbs. Dong wears prescription eyeglasses but they were left behind when he vanished. If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Dong Jung please call Pierce County Crime Stoppers 253-591-5959. https://charleyproject.org/case/dong-chull-jung
Richard Emanuel Lawrence, age 63 left his home in Portland in February of 1986 to attend a religious conference in Tacoma, Washington with his wife. On the 28th of February Richard left his hotel room to get gas for his car at about 5 pm and disappeared. Two months later, Richard’s vehicle was found abandoned on a seldom used logging road in Vadar, Washington 80 miles south of Tacoma. A newspaper from Feb. 28th and a note saying ``Will pick up car tonight or tomorrow" were found either inside the car or near it. It is believed that Lawrence got lost while attempting to get home to Portland when he parked his car and left the vehicle. Two locals reported seeing a man matching Lawrence’s description walking down the logging road, the day after Lawrence was last seen. They reported that the man didn’t seem to be in distress. Local law enforcement thinks it is possible that he was picked up by someone on the road. Lawrence had gotten confused while driving twice in the recent past, once two weeks before his disappearance in Portland and once the day before in Tacoma. He was reportedly upset knowing he might have been in the beginning stages of dementia or another health issue.
Lawrence is described as a black male, with thinning brown hair and brown eyes. He weighed 125 lbs. and stood at only 5’ tall. He was last seen wearing a black rim glasses, with a prescription lens in the right lens; the left lens was plain glass as well as a black fur type knee length coat, black Russian style hat, white shirt with tie and black dress shoes size, 5. He had suffered a heart attack a year before his disappearance, and wore a pacemaker. He was reportedly depressed about his physical condition.

Cecil Socrates Mann, 76 disappeared from Port Orchard, Washington in 2012. Mann was last seen at 10 am on September 15th leaving his home in his 2007 Ford Focus. Later searches indicated that fishing gear disappeared with Mann and it is speculated he left his home to go fishing. Mann was then seen 3 hours later north of his home buying gas and the clerk reported that he seemed confused or disoriented. Two days later on September 17th, Mann called his daughter on two separate occasions but the reception was so poor no one knew what he was saying. Soon after the phone was turned off and the “pings” came from the Quilcene, Washington area. Later that same day, Mann’s car was found abandoned in the next county over near a Tunnel Creek Trail about 50 miles from his home and ten miles from the town of Quilcene. The car was badly damaged presumably from the rough terrain. Tragically, no trace of Cecil Mann was ever found. Mann did not have any mental health concerns at the time of his disappearance and had never shown signs of dementia, however, he was new to the Port Orchard area and wasn’t yet familiar with the area. At the time of his disappearance he was recovering from a bout with prostate cancer.
Mann is described as a white male who is balding with some gray hair. He has blue eyes and wears bifocals with wire frames. He weighed only 135 lbs. and stood at 5’8”. He was last seen wearing a tan or green windbreaker jacket, blue jeans, gray sneakers and a watch. If you have any information please call the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office at 360-337-4642. https://charleyproject.org/case/cecil-socrates-mann
Christine Shields Wagner, 67 years old went missing from Olympia Washington in 2016. She was last spotted leaving her home in early October of that year. Her cell phone has been turned off since she disappeared. About two weeks later her car was found abandoned at the Harmony Farm conservation easement on Johnson Point Road in Olympia. Her car was parked normally. Harmony Farm easement borders on a large wetland reserve. Christine is described as a white female with brown eyes and brown hair. She wears glasses and she is 5 ft. 3 in tall and weighs 130 to 180 lbs. In the past she has made attempts to harm herself. There is very little information available about this disappearance. Thurston County Sheriff's Office 360-786-5500 is investigating. https://charleyproject.org/case/christine-shields-wagner
Estelle Lois Abbott of Inchelium, Washington went missing in 2017. Estelle was 83 years old and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She left home with her dog, a gray or tan Pitbull named Jay, to check the mail and never returned. It is unknown if Jay was ever found. Searches on foot, horseback, and ATV started right away but no sign was ever found of Estelle Abbott. Estelle is described as a white female with blonde hair and blue eyes. She's about 5’ 7” in height, 150 lbs. and she was last seen wearing a red sweater and blue jeans. In the past Estelle has lived in Spokane, Washington and Sonoma, California and her loved ones are worried she may have tried to travel there. Estelle lived on the Colville Indian Reservation and tribal police are investigating. They can be reached at 509-634-2472. Source: https://echoespath.com/estelle-abbott/
Lawrence Jay "Larry" Riegel, 57 of Yakima, Washington worked as a carpenter and contract pilot before breaking four vertebrae, an injury that left him disabled. Right before going missing Larry had a surgery on his neck and some sources claim he was in a neck brace. Unable to work, Riegel was collecting disability and had lost his pilot license due to his injury. The last contact anyone had with Larry took place on Christmas day, 2009. He contacted several relatives and friends including a call to his mother to thank her for some clothes she bought him for the holiday. He was supposed to join his family in Yakima for a belated Christmas dinner on Dec. 26, 2009, but he never showed up or called. Riegel’s family described him as a “chatty Cathy” who talked to just about anyone and had daily phone contact with his friends and family. He is also reportedly an alcoholic who liked to visit bars near his home.
Riegel lived with his girlfriend, Ladena Mann before he went missing. Mann claimed that the couple argued on Christmas day and Riegel left the home presumably to go see his tenants, who lived in nearby Union Gap. Mann also claimed that Riegel assaulted her either on Christmas day or on January 4th before disappearing. When Mann tried to report this assault weeks later, she was unable because she had no injuries or proof of violence. Mann used Riegel’s money and EBT card after he disappeared as well as applied for her own EBT card claiming she still lived with Larry. Mann was charged with welfare fraud and perjury, but charges were dropped when she paid back the money and entered a diversion program. In one media interview she claimed that Larry is still alive and that he has “contacted several people” since going missing. She called some of Larry's former coworkers and his boss to share this information. She thinks Larry is residing in Idaho or Montana and has accused his family of knowing where he is. Ladena Mann is a person of interest in Larry’s disappearance as the last known person to have spoken to him.
Riegel’s family is offering $25,000 for information in the homicide investigation that leads to his remains. They have billboards all over the Yakima valley asking for information. Larry’s mother, aged in her 90s, still drives around rural areas searching for his body.
Riegel is described as a white male with gray hair, a gray mustache, and hazel eyes. He is 6’2'' and weighs 200 lbs. He has surgical scars on his left knee and a prominent vertical scar on his neck from recent surgery to fix four broken vertebrae. He often wears eyeglasses and he has a limp in his left leg. He is also an alcoholic who frequented neighborhood bars. He has lived in Yakima his whole life.He may wear a neck brace. The Yakima Police Department (509-576-6573) is investigating.
The last time I wrote about this case, most articles mentioned that Riegel’s last phone call took place at approximately 5:30 pm on Christmas day. It is believed that the call was made to Riegel’s tenants who rented a farm from him in Union Gap, a town on the Yakama reservation. His tenants owed him $3000 in back rent. However, this is no longer reported in the most recent articles. I am not sure how important this is but I wanted to mention it nonetheless. https://charleyproject.org/case/lawrence-jay-riegel
Donnie Sampson, 71, a well-known religious leader, had been serving for eight years on the Yakama Tribal Council’s Code of Ethics Committee when he disappeared in the fall of 1994 while hunting elk about 45 miles west of White Swan, Washington, near Mt. Adams. Donnie had a heart problem and had been prescribed nitroglycerin as a result. Right before his disappearance, he told his daughter that he (and the ethics committee) “was getting into something that’s going to make everybody mad.” He even went so far to tell her that he would be “making enemies” and that she and the community would hear about his findings soon enough. He had been investigating rumors of corruption in the tribal council and the housing authority before he went missing, but other committee members refused to elaborate on the matter.
Donnie’s truck was found Oct. 30, 1994, in the foothills of Mount Adams by volunteer searchers, but searchers found no trace of Sampson. His nitroglycerin, lunch, clothing and three rifles were found in his truck. A fourth rifle he left home with disappeared with him. Donnie’s children say tribal police have done little to investigate the disappearance, which they believe is a result of foul play. For example, his children were never interviewed and his truck was found by volunteers, not official search and rescue. Tribal authorities believe that the elderly Sampson simply got lost while hunting. There are no photos or description of Donnie Sampson available. Tribal police are investigating. https://www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/relatives-friends-of-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-gather-to-honor-them/article_3ecdbfb9-6622-591e-b32e-72e5eedf2a5e.html
Robert "Bob" Harrod, has been missing since 2009, when he was 81, from his Placentia, Ca. home. His disappearance was featured on an episode of Disappeared. He'd recently reunited with and rather quickly married his long-lost love after having been apart for more than 50 years. Bob was in the process of preparing his house for her to move from Missouri to California. As she was packing her things halfway across the country, tragedy struck: Bob abruptly vanished. His disappearance and probable death were most likely at the hands of someone he knew and trusted. Bob was quite wealthy at the time he went missing, which lends some credence to this theory. He had previously been involved with a woman who allegedly owed him more than $80,000; in addition Bob's own children and other family members were said to be very unhappy with Bob's new and sudden marriage and a heated "family meeting" regarding Bob's estate and assets supposedly occurred just prior to his disappearance. Bob is described as a Caucasian male with gray hair and blue/gray eyes. Harrod keeps his hair very short and he is bald on the top. His nickname is Bob. He is supposed to wear eyeglasses, but they were left behind. He is 5’11” and weights 140-170 lbs. He has last seen wearing white shorts, a white v-neck undershirt, white knee socks, a white belt, a white hat, white Reebok sneakers, a plain gold wedding band on his left ring finger and possibly a Masonic ring with a red stone and a Masonic symbol on his right ring finger. In 2019 two "persons of interest" were arrested but later released. There have been no other updates. Here's a link to his Charley Project- Robert Harrod
Vincent Wesselmann, 75, of Breese, IL was last seen at around 5 pm on April 21st, 2011. He was walking to the post office. He was single and lived alone, although he still lived near his siblings and many other family members. His bike, wallet, and car were at his house, and he had his church clothes laid out for the next day. He was a recent retiree who had money in the bank and his home was paid off. Vince enjoyed gardening and volunteering. He was active in his local church and with several charitable organizations. Vince is described as a white male, 75 years old, 5'9-6'0", 210-235 pounds, with thinning gray-brown hair, blue eyes. He was possibly wearing a dark blue baseball cap, watch, dark blue pants, and black heavy ankle work shoes. He was declared legally dead in 2018 and no trace of him has ever been found. https://www.riverbender.com/articles/details/today-marks-10-years-since-vincent-wesselmann-vanished-from-breese-illinois-49611.cfm A full write up can be found here. https://www.reddit.com/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/yg4ge2/vincent_wesselmann_spent_all_of_his_time/
Annie Laurie Hearin was a 72 year old woman who was kidnapped and presumably murdered in 1988. The prime suspect was convicted of kidnapping but not murder, and her body has never been found. It's a strange case involving multiple suspects and accomplices, and a ransom letter from Annie herself begging her husband to save her. The case is tough to summarize so I would suggest you read the whole story here. Annie is described as a white female with auburn hair and gray eyes. She weighed 120 lbs. and stood at 5’4”. She has scoliosis and arthritis.
Peter Achermann, was 82 at time of disappearance on July 24th, 2009. He was last seen in his car crossing the bridge on Warner Rd in Staples, MN between 12 and 1 pm that day. He had been doing errands and was expected home by 2 pm. The next day, his car was later found stuck in the mud off Country Road 32 in a town about ten miles from his home. Groceries and medicine he had bought for his wife the day before were found in the car. The area was so muddy it was determined that Peter couldn’t have gone very far. Despite extensive searching, no trace of Peter was ever found. At the time of his disappearance, Peter was in good mental health and he did not have Dementia or Alzheimer's disease. He had, however, had a hip replacement and walked with a cane as a result. Peter is a native of Switzerland and was in the US on a green card. When he disappeared he was only carrying $30, his driver's license, and his green card. He had been married for 50 years and had 11 children (8 who were still living), 13 foster children, and 23 grandchildren. He was supposed to attend his granddaughter's wedding the next day and give a speech but he never arrived. Peter is described as a white man who was 5’7” and weighed 170 lb. He has jaundice, which is a condition which makes your skin yellow. He has no other medical conditions that require treatment or daily medication. He has gray hair, brown eyes, a full set of dentures, a strawberry colored birthmark on the back of his neck, glasses and a long salt and pepper colored beard. He has a scar from his hip replacement surgery and walks with a cane. He was last seen wearing a tan and brown cotton button-down shirt, Tan cargo pants, boxers, a leather belt with a Native American saying printed on it, tan socks with rust-colored toes, brown Dr. Scholl's shoes with Velcro closures, a floppy red, white and blue crocheted beret, and silver crucifix necklace. https://charleyproject.org/case/peter-achermann
Maud Crawford, age 63, was last seen in Camden, Arkansas on March 2nd, 1957. Maud was a one the of the first female lawyers in Arkansas and she had a reputation for helping others such as defending an elderly woman named Rose, who Maud believed was being taken advantage of by her extended family. Maud's case was very publicized and is very convoluted. Rather than try to summarize it, you can read about it here. Maud is described as a white female, 5’5” and 165 lbs. She has graying red hair, glasses, and pierced ears.
Eva Mae Hale, 79, of Terre Haute, Indiana was visiting her brother’s grave at the Marco cemetery in the town of Marco on October 15th, 1996 when she inexplicably vanished. Eva was visiting to decorate the grave with a pumpkin and to visit the graves of several family members who were buried there. She normally visited about three times a year. She always parked in the same spot, about 40 feet from her brother’s grave. A local called the police when he noticed the car had been there all day. It is a pretty rural area with police claiming that one afternoon during the investigation only three vehicles drove by on the road. When contacted, Eva’s son Guy went to search for his mother and he realized that her car was parked in a different spot than she normally parked in but her keys were on the ground where she normally parked. Her purse was on the front seat and a few dollars were found hidden inside. She normally carried her cash in a bank envelope but no envelopes were found in the car. Police used searchers and a helicopter to search for Eva but nothing was ever found. Police believe foul play is involved and believe her disappearance might be connected to the murder of a 88 year old woman three months earlier and two other women who disappeared in the several years beforehand. Her son Guy and other family members are still searching for Eva. Eva is described as a white female who was 4’10” and weighed 98 lbs. She has thinning brown hair with some gray and blue eyes. She wears glasses and her ears are pierced. Eva Mae Hale Charley Project Her son’s site gateio app

What happened to these folks?

I mean surely, I can't be the only one who lays awake at night thinking about all the things I should or shouldn't have done. The regret digs into me though. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently. Sadly though I am only stuck with my self doubt and self loathing.
I met this woman in December of 2023 online through work. I work remotely but she works in one of the locations I supported. I saw her profile picture, I listened to her in meetings, I thought about emailing her to open up dialogue. I never had to do any of that, she started calling me. She started calling me a lot. All the calls were about work, until one night when she texted me and we texted for hours. I mean literally from 11pm to 4am we were texting. From there, it didn't really go anywhere. She kept calling me for work related needs and we would send little texts here and there to eachother. But everytime I picked up, there was just this...energy to the way we spoke to eachother. Fastforward about 4 months and I moved to a new location, and we started talking even more. Except this time, we would sit in facetimes and phone calls and text...all day long. I mean, we probably spent enough time to make it a full time job in facetime over the course of 2 months. We flirted, I hit on her, she reciprocated. Then I decided to fly out to meet her. And thats the part I regret the most. Had I just waited a bit longer, we would probably still be talking. She ghosted me almost the entire time that I was there, except for the final of two nights in her city. She showed up at my hotel, uninivted. And we hung out for about 3 hours. We got a little romantic, and we kissed. The kiss was passionate, at least in my eyes. She ended up leaving, and I asked her to stay. She said no, claiming I was "dangerous."
I fly back home the next morning, and all seems okay. We texted and called. Then suddenly, the calls stop. The texting took literally half days for a reply. And then it turned into no reply same day. Then one day, about 1 month after my trip, I texted my feelings. I confessed I wanted her and to build something with her. She didnt reply, until the next day. She told me she had recently got out of a 6 year relationship and just didn't want a relationship right now. She had never told me any of that before. The lack of talking continued on, and then I thought one last shot. Last friday, I bought us round trip first class tickets to the city/country we both had the same dream of visiting. I sent her the record locator and screenshot of the flights. She has not replied to that text and its eating me apart.
I moved to a new city, completely on my own. I know nobody except work colleagues. My communication with old friends back in my home state have slowed down. I feel alone, depressed, angry with myself, disappointed with myself, wondering why I am the way I am and why Im not good enough. We talked for 2 months, every day, like we were dating. And now its all gone and all I want is for her to text me, to call me, to facetime me. To accept my invitation to making a memory of a lifetime. I want to be with her, but she has no desire to be with me. I dont hate myself, I know I will bounce back from this deep depression, but I am very unhappy with myself. So many regrets.

Recently decided to give cata a shot. Set up a small baseline of addons, just what I need to play on Steam Deck, plus a few QoL things like rarescanner etc. I'd leveled from 1-20 and done 4 dungeons before I even realized I didn't have Details installed. And I've been loving it. Stepping away from the numbers, not looking at talent builds online, or what's most viable has been such an adventure. Sure the early parts of the world are dead these days, but even so, limiting external information has left me feel more engaged than I've been since I started back in WoD.
That's all. Nothing actually life-changing to say, just "dps meter gone make game fun"

Hi,
I’m writing to see if anyone else has experienced similar pain/triggers. I’ve not been officially diagnosed as the wait time to see a neurologist is years where I live, but have been in pain for 6 months straight and all practitioners (Doctors, Endodontists, physiotherapists, Nurse Practitioners, and Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons) I’ve seen are tentatively saying TN or atypical facial pain. Im a 29 year old female.
It started as tooth/neck/throat pain in the left angle of my jaw, my occipital region, and the back of my throat almost directly through from the occipital, it’s now ballooned to be basically the entire left side of my head/face/neck with the above-mentioned spots being the most severe. Pain and sensations vary from area to area, but it's basically all affected in some way or another (increasingly). Sometimes it goes down as far as my chest.
My pain is almost 100% triggered by head movement/posture. Waking up in the morning my face is already flushed but when it gets really bad the flushing goes elsewhere down the left side of my body—mainly my arm, but I have felt it in my knee/shin area as well. The flushing is on the top part of my arm, but when the pain migrates it's the underside into my palm. I get numbness in my left big toe as well.
I cannot sit down for longer than about 30 seconds without the burning sensation in my neck, throat and tongue being triggered and starting to build, so I just… don't sit down. I can stand and I can lie at a 45-degree or greater angle on my right side, virtually every other position causes pain at one place in my face/neck/head or another.
I started carbamazepine in July, I have since increased it to 900mg/day and am on baclofen 40mg/day and amitriptyline 50mg/day as well. The pain is at a bearable level now most days as long as I don’t do much/leave my apartment; any activity will typically cause a flair-up that has me lying on my right side in bed for a day or two. I am working from home but am supposed to be in the office—waiting on a stand-up desk to be delivered.
Has anyone experienced anything like this at all? Especially the inability to sit, and the pain/flushing migrating down their body.
Thanks!
EDIT: I should say I've had a neck x-ray and it showed nothing.

Hey everyone! I was asked to prepare a short lesson on the doctrinal mastery verse 2 Nephi 2:27. I thought I would post it here just for the fun of it. If anyone has any suggestions to add to it I would love to hear it! I’m still looking for a good Pearl of Great Price verse to add so I can have the class using all the canonical scriptures. The lesson will mostly consist of a scripture chase with questions and comments in between verses.
2 Nephi 2:27 ‚óè 27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

Men are Free ● Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” ● 2 Nephi 2:14 “both things to act and things to be acted upon.” ● Doctrine and Covenants 98:8 “I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free.” To Choose ● 2 Nephi 2:11 “For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. ● Deuteronomy 30:15 “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil.” ● Choices by President Monson April 2016 “May we choose to build up within ourselves a great and powerful faith which will be our most effective defense against the designs of the adversary—a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith, we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals. Although it is imperative that we choose wisely, there are times when we will make foolish choices. The gift of repentance, provided by our Savior, enables us to correct our course settings, that we might return to the path which will lead us to that celestial glory we seek. May we maintain the courage to defy the consensus. May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.”
Through The Great Mediator ● Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” ● John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” ● Mosiah 3:18 “but men drink damnation to their own souls except they humble themselves and become as little children, and believe that salvation was, and is, and is to come, in and through the atoning blood of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent.”
Words From a Living Prophet - Application (How do we choose Christ?) ● President Russel M. Nelson Hear Him April 2020 “As we seek to be disciples of Jesus Christ, our efforts to hear Him need to be ever more intentional. It takes conscious and consistent effort to fill our daily lives with His words, His teachings, His truths. We simply cannot rely upon information we bump into on social media. With billions of words online and in a marketing-saturated world constantly infiltrated by noisy, nefarious efforts of the adversary, where can we go to hear Him? We can go to the scriptures. They teach us about Jesus Christ and His gospel, the magnitude of His Atonement, and our Father’s great plan of happiness and redemption.”

My wife and I love to kill some zombies after a long day, and we bought the new COD6 but having issues both playing at the same time. We each have our own activation account, she has PlayStation plus account, but we cant seem to both be in the lobby once we click 'zombies' from main page, next to multiplayer. We've even gone so far as to create a third account, email, etc and still can't join the room. If she logs me out fully from ps4, and she is only in, it says she doesn't have an account, despite having activation account.
I will be the first to admit, I don't play online, know anything about build outs, etc- we just enjoy killing some zombies together and hoping someone has an idea of what we can do here.
Thanks to the community in advance.

I just wore out Elden Ring and I need more. I like the fact that you are able to construct and customize your build however you want. I want that aspect in a shooter game. Does that kinda game exist? I eas thinking SM2 but I don't have online and there is really no other point.

Hey everyone, I'm brand new here and I'm picking up a 23' Grom this week and I'm planning on turning it into a dedicated stunt bike for learning/mastering wheelies on. I have the entire build planned out already except for the handlebars, so far what I've learned is that protaper klx110, XR50 and Honda mini bars are the way to go. I'm 6'4" and typically run risers or taller bars on all of my other bikes, but I'm not sure what would be best for a dedicated wheelie machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey, I'm 23 atm and currently preparing to apply to a university. I'd like to mention a couple of things in my past and why I feel so anxious.
I’m originally from Bulgaria but was born and raised in Istanbul. After graduating my high school, I was presented with two options: studying in Turkey or studying abroad, using my EU citizenship. However most universities in the EU required a foundation year and to afford it I had to work since my family couldn’t support me financially. But just in case, I tried getting into the foreign student exams in Turkey for uni and even though I passed them, I couldn't apply because there was a problem with my documents regarding my citizenship. That academic year went to waste.
After that year, I moved to the UK with a friend of mine from Bulgaria and worked student jobs for close to 8 months. After the first month, he decided not to go along with our plan and returned to his parent's house in London. I couldnt bcus it was a rental and there was some sort of rule that said they can't accept guests for more than 2 weeks. I refused to go back to Istanbul and I saved enough to return to Istanbul by that summer.
The following year I applied to a foundation program in Manchester and got in. I was so hopeful and excited. I’ve always been ambitious but that achievement meant the world to me honestly. But early in the second semester, COVID hit, and it didn't hit alone. In February, I suffered from lung collapse and had to return to Istanbul as my cousins in Kingston refused to take me in. Didn't even answered my call lol they probably thought I was gonna ask for money. My lung collapsed again in April, requiring surgery, and by then my hopes of finishing the program had diminished. All the money I’d saved was lost as the foundation program wouldn’t convert its lectures to online.
Dyring and after Covid, I began experiencing severe depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. It took time to accept what I was going through and about two years to heal and stabilise as symptoms would return whenever I stopped taking my pills. I couldn't do anything except to breath properly and gasp for air for months. By 2021-2022 I started getting better and planning my way ahead. I had started developing my OSINT skills and freelancing with media companies. I even landed a five-month office job at 21 but had to quit since I didn’t have a degree or attendance to show. I've continued as an independent researcher and got remote jobs but I had to lie about my degree and quit or ghosted them when they came close to catch me. I was happy with the network I built and even reached to mainstream journalists with my investigations and findings. It was all semi anonymous. I was presented with many opportunities, offers and chances to built something of my own.
Then I entered a sort of freeze. Although I was working and building a network even contacting people who could help me, I withdrew from everything, first to my home and then to my room. I'm still confused about that period in my life. During that time, we also started having financial difficulties as a family so I had to work part time jobs to support them. I even tried working at a car mechanic but as I was forbidden to carry heavy stuff after my surgery, it didn't work very well.
My mom had a heart attack last winter, so I started helping take care of her and covering hospital expenses. She had to stay in a private hospital as there were rooms in public ones. She’s okay now, but it was a time of great worry.
I sorta woke up this summer and realized this can't go on like this. Idk what happened really. I first tried to apply to an HBO study program in the Netherlands with plans to transfer to the University of Amsterdam but I missed the deadline and they refused my late intake request. Then I discovered Luiss Guido Carli University, its a private uni but I'm eligible for the Lazio DisCo scholarship which basically covers the full tuition fee. Right now I’m preparing for the SAT and planning to take the Turkish university entrance exam again as the Italian law requires for international students.
I’ll be 24 this December and almost 25 by the time I hopefully start my bachelor’s in Rome. I’ll be 28 when I finish, and if I do a master’s, which I kinda do as I'm aiming to study politics, I’ll be around 30. It sounds too late. I'll be competing with people who are also 30 but with 5+ uears of experience. I'll be studying with 18 year old Italian nepo babies while I self study -again. I feel like I got over depression, but I'm too damn tired to start over for basically the 3rd time. My mind slips to ideas like joining the French Foreign Legion, maybe they have an intelligence unit that can take me or I will do anything honestly. I just can't let the past be past and focus on my studies and my new chapter.
I feel embarrassed that I took so long to recover from my health issues and mental problems. I also blame myself for freezing up for nearly two years, not knowing what to do. I can't even find the reasons why I entered into that freeze. I feel like I missed out on important chances, opportunities, and the life I should have lived.
Is there an advice for me?
Apologies for any typos or mistakes

I saw recent posts of people struggling with this boss, totally relatable. He's really fast and deals 2x damage per hit, so the windows for learning his patterns and room for mistakes are very small.
However, as you can see by my clip of the last minute of my fight with him, he's totally doable even without polished gameplay. I did everything you see in the clip throughout the entire fight, focusing only on consistency. Persevering through this process taught me a lot and I'd like to share it.
In regards to charm build, I went with a pretty basic one: Sharp Shadow, Steady Body, Unbreakable Strength and Long Nail. If not for the Grimmchild requirement, I would have used Grubsong and Mark of Pride instead of Long Nail (my Trial of the Fool build)
His moves are much more readable than you think. You don't have to react to everything, because he doesn't have too many patterns. You just have to try and accept that you will die a lot and, with each death, learn a new quirk of his moveset to adapt to it.
Below are my mental notes that led me to beating the boss in case you want more specific help. Good luck!

1. >! When he crouches a little and grabs onto his cape, he will uppercut you. Don't dash towards him immediately, or he will step back and you will take damage. Get used to his timing and dash through him when he dashes. As for the projectiles, you'll have to memorize their falling path. If it is the default uppercut in the middle of the arena, take just a step back after your dash and the farther projectile will usually land behind you. This is just what helped me memorize this move, so take it with a grain of salt. !<
   
2. >! When he grabs his cape but doesn't crouch, he will launch four projectiles in your direction. You can jump between them and land a hit on NKG, maybe two. !<
   
3. >! Learn to not get spooked by the spikes from the ground. If you need to move to dodge, it will be a subtle step. Moving too much will get you hit. !<
   
4. >! When he floats and stays still, he will try to smite you 4 times. Walk towards him, jump and land a nail hit. When the third flame appears, jump and dash through him backwards. !<
   
5. >! Don't feel obligated to chase his tiny form when he uses it. If you need to, you have a window to heal two or three masks. !<
   
6. >! The pace and pattern of his balloon form projectiles are quite different from TMG, as in they are faster and the jumps you have to make are not as intuitive. What helped me was realize that I could use Monarch Wings to jump over 2 sets of projectiles instead of just one and time them a little better. For me it's the hardest part of the battle because it seems random and you have to react much more. !<
   

This boss might have many more tricks that are much more efficient and insights that would help more. However, I went into the boss without ever looking it up online, so I couldn't have known any tips. Feel free to contribute in the comments or correct me on anything I might have missed.

My unpopular opinion is that Smolder’s spike is at 125 where his Q’s starts bouncing. Sure the burn and execute is nice but it’s been gimped so hard that it’s a shell of what it was. Furthermore, despite Smolder’s infinite scaling, he’s still not that strong in the ultra-late game as he is squishy and can be outranged.
Instead, the best build takes advantage of his mid-game power spike. And that build is Shiv + Hydra. With AOE’s Qs, Smolder will be able to instantly proc all 3 stacks on shiv for massive aoe damage. Add on hydra and you’ll be proc’ing even more damage per Q. Although these items screw with your stacking, you spike much earlier and can quickly close out games instead of waiting for your execute to come online.

Hello! I have been trying to implement a keypad/combination lock for a door in my creative map and all the tutorials online are for channel based islands that are now no longer supported in creative. Can anyone help me with build one in the event based system?
