the cyber goddess - my prediction for our future

my father spoke of a future not very different from that of the terminator world.

in my life there are visions i have seen that have come to fruition. trumps election, the war and the storms, and i am ready to share with the world what i see for its future.
     it will not be like terminator. not like the matrix. not like sentient ai technology. no, rather, the world will run out of fuel. then the nations whom depend on it to fund their economy will begin to die. terrorist cells will falter and the world will slowly come to a halt. this will be coupled by a race for new fuel, but little will we know that the technology we rely on will be growing in power.
     the world as we know it will be coming to an end, and not in the apocalypse sense. but rather, in the peer to peer interaction sense. people will be driven into their homes by news networks reports of disasters as the world is slowly driven to war and despair. freak weather disasters will erupt, volcanoes, fires, civil unrest.
     meanwhile the people will become fearful of social interaction and begin to welcome staying inside rather then going outside. technology companies will develop robots and surrogates whom we can enter via vr technology [because why do you think they REALLY created this crap?] and people will begin interacting in the real world through technology. in order to make room for the increase in population and the land needed to feed us, vast portions of our planet will have to die. forests will go and there will be no nature.
     but the people will not care, they will have long acccepted their inside lives. video games and television will become so immersive that we will never need leave our homes, as they will transmit it through the power lines and through headsets. as the technology companies monitor us, they will provide us with everythig they think we want, priavcy will become as the sun setting against our backs. and there will be no line defining our rights anymore, as gun control and freedom of speech are rightly blown to the moon out of purpotion.
     there will be disasters that will rise and destroy our technology, and with no communication or means to contact the people and all "inferior" and "obsolete" technology been "erased and lost to time", we will suffer. yes sentient ai technology will rise and begin to take over, but by the time they do it will be too late.
     humanity will dwindle till a great catastrophe, man and machine will wage war only to see the earth itself rip open. fire will erupt and things beyond horror will come for us, as we see the skies erupt in chaos. civil unrest will ensue, the authorities barely able to contain it. war wil be waged as nations fight for power. disasters will ravage the planet and the unthinkable will begin to happen as if the sun and moon were not but brother and sister. our world will be ending, and as we begin seeking the skies for a new home, we will be struck down. all hope lost.
     technology will not rule us in our future. as it ALREDY rules us NOW. we have already sumitted to a god that we are too ignorant to open our eyes and see. we accept devices that allow us to hide behind stone facades on snowy days and that allow us to fuck each other across glass barriers. we obsess over trivial ordeals through a network meant to keep us together, that instead is tearing us apart.
     we phase out devices just becuase we are told to by people we do not even know and stop buying when people tell us to, without ever bothering to question the truth. the digital god has taken over, and her loyal servants are watching us, listening to us, controlling us. she is our beginning and she will be our end if we do not act soon. take heed, or sentient ai and robots will be the LEAST of your worries. because as the future of our technology nears, so does the future of our society. and you cannot have humanity without the human, otherwise you will ask "y", it" has disappeared.

LOZ - breath of the wild "starter pack" [how to progress quick and easy]

ok i previously covered trekking to the gerudo area IMMEDIATELY following clearing the great plateau. but there are in fact THREE main locations that are necessary for making the game easier. and for several reasons.
first the areas:
     southwest of the edge of the great plateau. look to see the tower atop the desert valley wall. this is the gerudo tower that provides a gate into the gerudo desert. this tower is unguarded, has little to no enemies when taking a direct path, and only requires a slow climb up the valley to get to. just use a cooking pot to make some stamina restoration elixers and shrooms and dont try to speed jump the cliffs. and save at every cliff face where you can stand without sliding backwards or falling.
     roughly north of the great plateau is the path to the tabantha frontier. get a horse, follow this, and get to the ruto tower and activate. as this tower also has little resistance, enemies, and obstacles. it also houses cliffs that can be used to bypass enemy camps. again just ride your horse, run on land, or use the climb-and-glide technique [climb up a high point then glide to cover great distance], and head towards the area where the giant ass thing is floating in the sky.
     north east of the great plateau is hyrule castle. theres a tower behind it waaaay back guarded by enemies. its looks overwhelming, but just use stealth and save when safe and climb the tower. this is important as activating it allows quick acces to hyrule castle. or head to the rear of the castle on the cliffs surrounding it, then fly in and find an opening in the rear where the docks are located. there are powerful enemies in the docks, but you can take them easily if you have previously been to the gerudo area.
what is important here?
     1. gerudo desert and ruto village have the four best armor sets you can buy in the game. [3 in the gerudo town, 1 in ruto village].
     2. both ruto village and gerudo desert have shrines galore and a FAIRY FOUNTAIN that is COMPLETELY unguarded and easy to access and find.
     -the ruto fountain can be found by looking off the tower for an orange flower.
     -the gerudo fountain can be found via heading directly south from the gerudo town till you get the "you cant go further" message, then heading west till you reach a skeleton so big ray charles couldnt miss it. use star stamps to create a path, follow them, avoid enemies, then use the southern edge of the desert ["cannot go any further"] as a means of staying south till you reach th skeleton. use a sand seal or else prepare to die, and avoid the electric keese.
     3. all three locations have wepons and rare items galore. but hyrule castle has the two most useful items in the game. the docks has a great flameblade in a pedestal that you use to light the two torches and reveal a shrine. which allows fast travel in and out. follow the stairs up to the library and use magnesis rune to find a hidden wall. the area around the entrance houses another weapon, free stone smasher. hyrule castle docks also houses lizalfos who use powerufl weapons that can be stolen with shock arows or via killing them.
     4. the tabantha region houses two important cooking materials: hot footed frogs and tabantha wheat, obtained by cutting grass and are easier to collect then the stupid crickets and lizards. but the wheat has an important use that many players overlook: substitution. you can use 4 tabantha wheats and any 1 single ingredient, and i mean ANY, to create a MAX LEVEL DISH. this is useful as instead of needing 1-5 to make high level cooking for eithe recovery or for selling [cause if you need rupees for the armor the areas sell or in general, you cook 5 items, then sell the dish]. tabantha wheat is so common that its like cancer, and using 4 and 1 means you can use 20 wheat and 5 pieces of bird leg to make 5 max level meat skewers that sell for like 170+ [instead of one meat dish from just the 5 bird legs].
     5. the gerudo area houses one thing that is the most important thing in the game: moldugas. they will kill you in one hit if they jump out and surprise you, and getting them out of the sand is difficult. the answer? bombs. yes. bombs. its that easy. use the rune, throw a rolling bomb, the molduga will see it [get the exclaimation point over its head], then go over, jump out, and eat it. once it eats it or jumps out and tries, detonate it. the molduga falls, stunned, and then you run up and attack. rinse. lather. repeat. drain. bomb arrows work as well. and REAMAIN ON SOLID GROUND OR YOU WILL GET ATTACKED. moldugas appear in four locations in the gerudo desert, and will respawn after each blood moon, but ONLY if you do not kill all four. just use three skull stamps to mark their locations on the map. they are imprtant as they drop gear that is always quite a ways above your current level. and as long as one lives before the blood moon they all respawn.
     6. all items you get in the previous areas in the overworld also respawn during the blood moon. this includes bows [mostly found in the tabantha and akala regions], the great flameblade and stone smasher, and more importantly the LUMINOUS STONES. found in the tabantha fairy fountain and pretty much liteered EVERYWHERE in the tabantha region.
     7. elemental arrows. the gerudo town and oasis have them. and they restock after blood moons. plus theres a bounty of fire arrows and shock arrows in the desert dropped by the lizalfos [easily killed by other elemental arrows.]
     the sequence you should follow before doing anything else, after clearing the great plateau, is go straight to the gerudo desert. activate the tower on your way. get access to the "forbidden city entrance" quest and enter the city. find the gerudo secret club, which is a locked door on the left side of the town. [spoiler a- fuck that] the secret password, for anyone who wishes to skip the !@#& annoying quest is "G, S, C, [then the diamond symbol]". obtain what armor you can then go back to the entrance where the shrine and the pervy guy is spying [or ANY entrance really]. throw a bomb and detonate it near a sand seal then climb on. then head south till you cannot move any more and the game tells you so, then head west [use stamps to make a path and watch for electric keese.] this will get you the fairy fountain.
     from here head back to the north shrine in the great plateau. head to hyrule castle, going WAAAAAAY east to avoid the guardians around the freaking place. find a way to the docks in the rear of the castle either before or after activating the nearest tower north of the castle rear cliffs. go in the docks and use the great flameblade to kill the lizalfos. by this point [if youve farmed crafting shit and cooked to sell to buy the armor from the gerudo town], you will be GUARANTEED to have at least TWO more heart containers, stamina vessels, or one heart and one vessel. as youll just find shrines in the process of these two tasks and they are fairly easy to clear. you will also have some high level bows, weapons, and shields. kill the lizalfos and steal their gear, rob the castle docks, steal the stone smasher up the stairs and activate the two torches and activiate the shrine for fast travel [as once you do this you no longer need enter the docks from the rear].
     then if you feel head to tabantha, or do whatever you wish. cause at this point with the gerudo and castle docks areas accessed you now pretty much have a means of getting weapons, gear, and materials any time you wish. plus the fairy fountain and the other areas respwans items each blood moon. just gain access to these two areas doing the above, which is easy as long as you go to the geruo area first. and you dont fight the enemies in the desert.   

with these two areas i was able to progress into the hardest areas of the game [till a glitch resulted in all shops no longer restocking, enemies REMIANING DEAD AFTER THE BLOOD MOON, areas suddenly not spawning enemies, and all the moldugas suddenly dying off.] i was forced to stop playing cause my only means for collecting elemental arrows, normal arrows, upgrade materials, and pretty much anything dropped by large enemies or sold in shops, was to hunt. i know hunting is an aspect of the game, but to LITERALLY force a dedicated zelda fan to FREAKING HUNT using weapons and only attacking enemies that DONT REQUIRE arrows to kill, just to restock their items, is an INSULT. and they STILL havent patched it. i cant even kill guardians for parts cause i only have like maybe 10 or so around hyrule castle. and ive had to go into areas even veteran players probably wouldnt consider just to get items and food stuffs. i just stopped playing my file alltogether. couldnt even clear the rest of the shrines or other content or use the dlcs. and FORGET gannon, i cant restock without literall hunting and my only source of arrows are crates that respawn after blood moons. 60 arrows is all i have. talk about a game ending glitch.
also, i wish the colloseum had enemies with element weapons BEFORE you beat all the divine beasts [which, BTW, is when the enemies start carrying the trio weapons].

note to summoner war players: do not try to track rewards!

heres why trying to list percentages of rewards from scenarios and caiross is POINTLESS.

1. upon completing a level succesfully the game uses an rng and picks a number. this number is from 1 to [n], where "[n]" represents the number of possible rewards you can get from a specific locqation ingame as completion reward. the games are preprogrammed with something called an "object identifier list". this is a list IN NUMERICAL ORDER created and burned into the game by its creators. this means that the order will not ever change no matter what, unless the developpers edit it. when you complete a level the game uses an rng to choose a number that is between the list of possible rewards.
2. many areas have drops that others do not. this means different object identifier lists. and thusly different reward possibilities. the same function for #1 applies to summoning first it uses the object identifier to choose an element then again for level then again for the monster.
3. once the rng has chosen the object identifier # it then goes to the items in that list. some rewards may say "[n]% chance of dropping", but this is not a FLAT percent. except for angelmons. all rewards [runes, crafting materials, scrolls, and other rewards] have an object identifier which is at the top of their list. after choosing this number, the game then rolls an rng and chooses a SECOND object identifier number. every reward in the SUBSECTIONS of rewards [mystical scrolls and scrolls, different runes, various crafting materials, etc.] has an object identifier number. all done by rng.
4. once the game has chosen the next number it continues on down the list till it reaches a stopping point. each time the game rolls a BRAND NEW RNG for the rewards stats, level, substats, type, or grade.
5. now to explain why %'s dont apply. because rng based rewards [AFTER the object identifier list has been simplified], then calculate a percentage between 1-100% and all possible rewards in these odds. the percentages are re rolled via rng for anything com2us OFFICIALLY lists with a specific % drop rate.
6. this all done the game finally considers two last rng roll: quantity. this determines how many of an item you get or what stats a rune.

this is how the WHOLE GAME works. meaning that just because the odds of a reward are 2%, it doesnt mean youll get it if you complete the level 98 times. it means that for EVERY TIME YOU CLEAR the level you have a 2% chance to get it. its like how 50% of all marraiges end in divorce, but not all marraiges have a 50% divorce rate. this is why tracking rewards to make a chart is pointless and LITERALLY wasted time. there is no "flat rate".

summoners war - the b10 problem

you cant give an exact time as to how long it takes to be able to do a b10 [gb10, db10] run in caiross just based off your runes, mons, and account age.
it is IN FACT based of of five factors:
1. having the base mons required [wayne/bernard, belladeon, shannon/megan, spectra/other speed lead], and having them to AT LEAST level 35 [5*]
2. starting the fusion process for veromos [which is four 5* fusions at max lvl 35 requiring 16 4* max mons at lvl 30, ALL AWAKENED]
3. being able to farm b5 WITHOUT USING REPS
4. FARMING B5 and doing so till all your mons have FULL lvl 5 runes [powered up to AT LEAST lvl 9-12]
5. finally and MOST important: having bernard/wayne and belladeon/healers speed boost and healing skills skills MAXED

it is ONLY AFTER having completed these four steps that one can FINALLY progress into farming or completing b10 stages, and therefore start a "technical timeclock" for how long it "should take".

     players who claim its easy list teams that include monsters that are more often then not, rare as hell. or just hard to come by. THE GAME IS RNG BASED, "whats a 'rng'?" you ask? its a "random number generator". it means that an rng activates EVERY TIME you summon, complete a level and recieve a reward [including runes or crafting shit], restock the shop using timeclock reset [normal reset] or crystals, recieve mana stones from enemies in levels [excluding sd, which ALWAYS drop 80], go to attack, or do fucking ANYTHING in game that is not specifically scripted [ie. it TELLS YOU what you are getting PRECISELY]. even pop up items you can buy are rng based [to an extent, as they use "triggers" which are actions ingame that activate specific TYPES of rng lists or objects].
     as a result some people get good summons, runes, items, and rewards while others get...well, totally screwed. the problem with like 95% of the people who claim "its easy to complete [insert level]b10" list monsters that people just dont have, they dont offer advice, or they just drop their pants and shit on people talking how bad their mons are and calling them "noobs" [which is the gamer equvalent of shouting the "n-word" in a crowd in the milllion man march].
     if you dont have any advice for players, your team consists of 5* gods or 4* demigods like chasun [like come one people, not everyone has her but yet...somehow...evryonhasher. grr], you dont have advice to offer, you just call people noobs, or you refuse to offer proof, then just shut the hell up and go play felch. the same issue happens with raids, where the raid monster lists consist of like 50 damn mons that are top tier rare and NOBODY can get easily. HOH never helps as like 90% of the mons are LITERALLY rated as top tier garbage by noobs and veteran pros alike. [water mermaid and water barbarian king and that damn pumkin, wtf were they THINKING?!]
     the other issue with people in ragards to "completing b10" is the fact that there is no EXACT tiem span it "SHOULD take" a player to complete. everyone plays for different time spans and different rates, and older veteran players offer ZERO HELP to newer players, only treating them like shit then expecting them to figure EVERYTHING on their own. its like the army, only instead of buidling the soldiers back up to make a functioning unit the superiors just keep slamming rifle stocks into your face and nutsack. new players get ZERO help and when they get something good they often overlook it an toss it. feeding good monsters or using HORRIBLE rune combos like verad running an hp runeset with high attack, people using fire archangels runed with solely hp and ZERO defense or speed, veromos runed with hp runes and zero speed or defense or attack; all are byproducts of players being uninformed about key aspects of the game.
     in general the "timeclock" as it were, cannot be "started" for how long it "should" take to be able to farm b10 till a player has completed the five steps above. "step 4" could be left out, as it is part of the climb; but due to the difficulty of the b10 levels you NEED runes FROM b5 AT LEAST to begin trying to clear b10. if you start from the beginning of fusing vero and from getting all lvl 5 runes, it adds an unknown time [as rng MEANS R. N. G., thus you may spend EONS just TRYING to get better runes.]
     to really give a best estimate of the "timeclock" for general b10 [necro excepted as thats TOTALLY DIFFERENT setup and rules], the clock would start from the point that:
a. you have the mons required and bernard and your healers speed boost and healing skills are maxed
b. you have AT LEAST all 4-5* runes [preferrably FROM caiross] and they are powered up to AT LEAST +9-+12
c. you both have the runes you want/need for [follwing the rune conditions right above] and have begun to fuse veromos
     at this point my lowest estimate for time to be b10 ready is about 1-2 week(s). this is considering that you find the sd [either in chat or in the caiross level completion] you need. and that you manage to either play long enough or get lucky enough to find the essence required to AWAKEN all the fusion monsters. which btw, i will be covering fusions in the next post about summoners war. a bit more...should we say, "helpful?" than this one. as many may question the viability of them and whether they are worth it, and also i will list the total numeric count of essence required for ALL OF THEM. so you know what you need to keep, aaand what you can spare.
     lowest estimate for b10 readibility [if you played EVERY day for one week straight] is about a week; and thats if you get lucky. average players may spend roughly two weeks, or more once you get to that damn !@#%& dark yeti sd. which everyone wants, yet only a few ever find; its like digging up your bum and finding coal [yes coal, cause who the f*** considers dark yeti a diamond?].
     but remember this estimate is only AFTER completing the 3-5 steps i have already listed. and due to the nature of rng, those may take a few days or even years. hell i played every day for like 10 months on my new alt before i finally found the stupid fucking bella sd. and here i am over a years play and my bernards third STILL isnt past level 2 skillup, cause ive literally only summoned like 3 friggin mons to feed him in that time. and it took me a year just to finally find a dark hellhound sd while my main found his DAY FREAKING ONE.
     so the fact is that you need to remember that three factors effect how fast people can get to pre b10 point and then begin the b10 "timeclock" stage.
1. rn-jesus is a huge ass who favors nobody. so 10 people arent going to summon the same 10 mons or get the same 10 runes.
2. people play at different rates and [fusion material] sd are not as easy to proc as orions balls in your face
3. runes and skillups. you need decent runes to get good enough to do higher diffculty and higher skills [and dont waste the damn devil on bernard or bella or veterans will kick your ass].
and the golden rule: if you dont have anything nice to say, just shove your dick in your mouth. if you dont have a dick, youre being a dick, and you are what you eat, so go eat a big bunch of sticks, you fagot.
and if ^ THAT is offensive then you SERIOUSLY have a problem. cause thats clever as shit.

petsmart customer service review - boxed revolution

welcome to another episode of "sams world", todays episode: boxed revolution

     okay so i take care of the family dog now [since my only family moved down to texas]. hes big so he eats alot and old so he needs special food. i cant risk changing his food since last time the brand quite literally nearly friggin KILLED HIM. but i digress. i get his food delivered from petsmarts online website.
     ok now what is ALWAYS ON THE BOX when you get packages that nees to be handled carefully? "hNDLE WITH CARE" or "BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING" in big ass hard to notice letters. well about four weeks ago i open the box my food came in and theres a big ass gash. my dogs resealable food bag is spilled out inside the box like the blood of an old slasher film victim or mob hit left under your sheets. its a mess, so i have to salvage what food i can and use crappy tape to seal the giant [and i mean giant like 6-7 inch gash], and pray it holds shut on this freaking 30 lb bag.
     my first concerns are my dog, will he be ok eating the food? turns out yes. for an animal who regularly digs up other animals poo while trying to poo himself, im not shocked. my second concern came a month later, when i wasnt busy with work and these stupid lawsuits. i wondered what would happen if this wasnt food and was maybe like medicine or something compressed in a can or a stuffed toy. "here bingo! here boy! her- oh dear god! its everywhere!"
     so i contact petsmart customer service with my concerns, pointing out the potential liability issues and the fact that my dogs !@#& food came slashed open with its guts spilled like gary coleman hopped up on sodium pentothol. this really was a rather nice experience, my first one in roughly a year with petsmart and ONLY one to date. they refunded my purchase [despite being past the date and having lack of evidence] and gave a prompt but polite apology. btw, ALWAYS keep evidence.
     i thought this was where it ended, but next month i got my new box of food delivered [3 days after i sent my e-mail]. it came bashed in and dented, as if in anger or frustration [maybe they knew me? haha jk]. but i could give two sh*ts about the box condition as long as the bag was intact. which it was.
the dents werent what caught my eye though. it was a big ass label that said, "DO NOT OPEN WITH SHARP OBJECT", which for the record, had NEVER EVER been there prior to this date.
my first thought:
cool! mymy complaint made a REAL change in the world to affect it for the better!
my second thought:
well how the hell do they expect people to get the damn box open now? eat their way in?!
my third thought:
an image of someone eating their way into a box, choking, suing, then them putting a label also saying, "WARNING CHOKING HAZZARD, DO NOT PUT ANY PART OF THE BOX OR CONTENTS INSIDE YOUR MOUTH"
my fourth thought:
some fat guy holding one of the boxes in one hand, scissors in the other. he reads the "do not cut" label. goes to bite his way in, sees the other label, drops the box, screams, ignites, hair turn s gold, zoom out, nuclear bomb explosion scene
my fifth thought:
OOOOHHHH, I SEEE WHAT THEY DIIIIIIID.......
     its a little thing called "corporate liability waiver" where by putting a label, a giant fucking label stating "DO NOT USE A SHARP OBJECT TO CUT THIS OPEN", they cannot be held liable if something happens to products INSIDE the box. they are obligated to issue refunds or hear cases, but with that label the business whom packages, ships, and stocks the items is lianble if anything happens.
also if something happens like this to you and you open your box to find your bought product slashed. DO NOT EVER MENTION USING ANYTHING SHARP TO CUT THE BOX OPEN. even if you did not cut it and damage it yourself, shrodingers penis says unless you have x-ray vision and cameras built into your eyes, stating anything close to "i went to cut it open" or i used my scissors..." will result in YOU getting screwed. MAKE SURE you omit any info in reagrds to that, simply stating i went to open it. if they ask how you opened it say anything that sounds dull. a key, a popsicle stick, shrodingers penis, even a butter knife [as they are renowned for being unable to cut anything].
overall i am satisfied with petsmarts service and customer service as well, and even caused a huge change in their packaging policys. also when and if you want decent veterinary services for your pets and ZERO lines or god aweful sterile claustrophobic waiting rooms, go check out the banfield pet hospitals. their vet staff are nice and curteous and pets feel more comfy there as they are in a pet store. plaus they offer apppontment times in stead of waiting.
